AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for
Bids for DeBenedetti Park — Electrical Improvements Phase I,
2350 South Lower Sacramento Road
MEETING DATE: February 17,2010
PREPARED BY: PublicWorks Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for DeBenedetti Park — Electrical Improvements Phase I,
2350 South Lower Sacramento Road.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of providing and installing new primary and
fiber optic conduits, pull line, trenching, backfill and compaction.
Work also includes the installation of primary vaults, secondary
service boxes, module enclosure pads, a transformer pad, metered
switchboard panels, streetlights along the park frontage on Lower Sacramento Road and other incidental
and related work.
This projectwill be done in conjunction with the DeBenedetti Park irrigation and turfing project, which is
currently out to bid. Completion of this Electrical Phase I improvement is necessaryto provide power to
the irrigation and lighting systems in the Phase I portion of the park. By bidding the electric work
separatelyfrom the irrigation and turfing, staff is expecting to see a savings in cost. The completion of
both projects will allow the Parks and Recreation Department to add new play areas for its soccer, flag
football and softball programs. The new fields should be ready for use in the spring of 2011.
Staff is recommending that City Council approve the plans and specifications and authorize
advertisement for bids for this project.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Parks and Recreation Department. The planned bid
opening date is March 10, 2010.
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated project cost is $350,000. There will be an increase in the
long-term park and storm drain maintenance costs.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Electric Utility Outlay Reserve Fund (161651): $350,000
