AGENDA TITLE: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for
playground improvementsat Blakely Park, 1050 S. Stockton Street
MEETING DATE: April 5,2006
PREPARED BY Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approves plans and specifications and
authorize advertisement for bids for playground improvements at
Blakely Park, 1050 S. Stockton Street.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project was part of the Parks and Recreation Department 2004
Community Development Block Grant program request. The project
was presented and approved by City Council at their regular
meeting on March 3, 2004,
The Blakely Park playground improvements consist of the removal and disposal of the existing
playground equipment, fibar surfacing material, concrete walkways, picnic area, and concrete curbing.
The new playground location will be located closer towards Poplar Street to accommodate the proposed
Community Partnership Building which is currently in a conceptual phase. The playground improvement
work includesthe installation of new concrete walkways, new handicap accessible playground
equipment, new seamless poured -in-place safety rubber material, retro -fit work to the existing irrigation
system, new park benches and trash receptacles and new trees. Plans and specifications are on file in
the Parks and Recreation office.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no direct impact to the Parks and Recreation Department budget for the
Blakely Park playground improvements. Community Development Block Grant
funds and the Lodi Soroptirnist donationswill be supporting the improvements of
this project in its entirety.
When CDBG funds were first reallocated to coverthe expanded scope of this
project, it was thought that the removal I replacement of the restroom facilities was
to be part of the project. After the bid process has been completed, any surplus
funding allocated to this project will be reallocated to other projectsfor use.
