BACKGROUND
RJM Design Group is the City's lead consultant for the master plan and design of Santa Clarita
Sports Complex Phase IV skate park and site improvements. City Council authorized the award
of the construction contract, geologic testing, and inspection services at the regular City Council
meeting of June 24, 2008. The project is currently in the construction phase.
Funding for this scope of work was previously appropriated by the City Council at the June 24,
2008, meeting, but contract approval was not received at that time due to the continued
negotiations related to the final skate park phasing schedule. Staff is now asking for approval to
enter into a contract with RJM for the construction observation and support services.
A r--%
PPROVED
Since the Sports Complex is under construction, staff feels that this is an appropriate time to
recommend two design modifications to the adjacent aquatic facility. The design modifications
include a storage building and additional concrete terrace seating with shade canopies around the
50 -meter pool. These modifications will increase the seating capacity at the 50 -meter pool and
allow for storage of items that need to be readily available. This item seeks approval to enter into
a contract for the design and construction services for the seating area and storage building.
Construction funding for these design modifications will be submitted for Council consideration
during the mid -year budget process. Staff anticipates that by addressing these additional
improvements while the construction work is underway, the City will benefit by receiving a
favorable price from the contractor that is currently on site.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
