AGENDA TITLE: Approve Request for Proposals and Authorize Advertisement for Architect
Services to Prepare the Grape Bowl Phase I Renovation Design
MEETING DATE: February 6,2008
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDEDACTION: Approve request for proposals and authorize advertisement for
architect services to prepare the Grape Bowl Phase I Renovation
design.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In early 2007, the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors (Board)
approved the allocation of discretionary Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funds to the Grape Bowl Phase I Renovation.
The Board in 2007 allocated $250,000 to the project, and in 2008,
another $200,000 will be allocated. The City of Lodi has allocated $225,000 of its 2007 CDBG allocation
to the project, and a matching community match of $500,000 is expected. The donor(s) of the
community match have not been identified.
A schematic representation of the Phase I Renovation project is presented in Exhibits and B. The
Phase I project represents a major step forward in making the Grape Bowl compliant with the Americans
with DisabilitiesAct (ADA) and the City's ADA Transition Plan adopted November2, 2005. The project
will include removal of the earthen berm at the north end of the stadium, construction of a bridge
structure connecting the upper walkways, elevator, stairways, restrooms, and a ticket office building.
The City represented to the Board that the design of the Phase I projectwould proceed in early 2008.
The first step in that process is to solicit proposalsfor the design of the project that is the subject of this
Council request. Construction plans and specifications have not been developed. There is a need to
expend the City's 2007 CDBG funds. The development of construction plans will allow for a more exact
estimate of Phase I costs and expend CDBG funds. At a later meeting, a recommendation for award and
appropriation of funding for the design will be brought back to the City Council. The design phase is
expected to be completed by January 2009.
FISCAL IMPACT: None at this time.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable
