AGENDA TITLE: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for bidsfor Phase I
Demolition Work at the Grape Bowl, 221 Lawrence Avenue
MEETING DATE: February 18,2009
PREPARED BY: Interim Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve plans and specifications and
authorize advertisement for bids for Phase I Demolition Work at the
Grape Bowl, 221 Lawrence Avenue.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project is part of the Parks and Recreation Department2007/08
Community Development Block Grant program. The project's purpose is to remove barriers to access
and provide some, although limited, improved functionality of the facilities. The initial steps of the Phase
improvementsare the removal of facilities that lie in the way of improved handicapped accessibility
and/or are obsolete.
The work consist of abatement of asbestos material, demolition and removal of two restroom/concession
stand structures, concrete flat work, concrete footings, wood pole light standards and other incidental and
related work, all as shown on the plans and specifications. Plans and specifications are on file in the
Parks and Recreation office.
Timing of this work is critical because it is being paid with San Joaquin County discretionary funds. If the
City does not commence construction/demolition by the first week of April, the City risks forfeiting the
$325,000 in County funds dedicated to Grape Bowl repairs.
Details regarding the construction projectswill be provided at a future Shirtsleeve Session. The
Recreation Commission will be consulted to provide a recommendationto the City Council on which of
the three alternatives should be pursued
Project construction, which would improve the Grape Bowl's ability to serve disabled visitors, could begin
in the summer of 2009. Those improvements are estimated to cost about $2 million. Project funding has
not been identified. If the project is funded and begins in a timely fashion, it should be completed in time
to allow high school football games to be played at the Grape Bowl in the upcoming season.
FISCAL IMPACT There is no direct impact to the Parks and Recreation Department budget resulting
from this project. San Joaquin County Discretionary Fundswill fund this demolition
project in its entirety.
