BACKGROUND
On September 12, 2006, the City Council approved renaming of the Whites Canyon Park to the
Todd Longshore Park.
off$IVED
In May 2005, the City Council authorized the design of the Todd Longshore Park. The plans and
specifications have been developed in accordance with the master plan approved by City Council
in February 2004.
A Conditional Use Permit and Mitigated Negative Declaration were approved by the City of
Santa Clarita Planning Commission on May 16, 2006.
As part of the 2006-07 budget process, the City Council authorized $3,018,000 for the
construction and inspection of this park project. The 32 -acre park site will include improvements
to five acres with the remainder of the site left as natural open space. The improvements include:
a restroom building, two acres of turf grass, a 19 -space parking lot, tot lot area, overlooks, hiking
trails, and large shade trees. The project also includes significant improvements to the existing
medians, roadway, and traffic signals on Whites Canyon at Canyon Crest for the new park entry:
The construction of this new park necessitates the installation of new water lines and meters on
the park site. An access easement is required to facilitate the water company's ability to provide
maintenance of the water line, fire hydrant, and meters that serve the park.
The bids submitted for this project were significantly above the original engineer's estimate of
$3,000,000. A detailed review of each line item indicates that costs have escalated across the
board in recent months. Line items showing the greatest increase over the engineer's estimate
are those involving street improvements, grading, concrete, and landscape planting. In order to
award the contract and provide a 10% contingency, an additional $2,151,296 in funding has been
identified by staff.
Parks staff researched several consultant firms which provide construction services. Based on
their knowledge and experience, staff is recommending DMR Team to provide daily construction
inspection and quality control during construction of the Todd Longshore Park.
The park site is located near the intersection of Canyon Crest Drive and Whites Canyon at 28151
Whites Canyon Road.
