Background
Al Guhin Park, located at 3664 Little League Drive, is a 28 acre open space park. The
park amenities currently available include two basketball courts, picnic tables/shelters,
an amphitheater and restrooms.
Staff previously identified this park as a candidate for the addition of a play area to
enhance the recreation options for families with children in the area. Addition of
playground equipment to this location will provide new playground amenities to
according to the park’s needs.
On June 19, 2019, the Mayor and City Council approved Resolution No. 2019-168
adopting the City’s Annual Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2019/20. The budget
6683
Page 2
included Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) PR 19 -001 project for Al Guhin Park
Playground Equipment and established $134,700 in Parkland DIF (Fund 268) funds to
support the project. Currently, there is $132,796.40 available in the Parkland DIF fund.
Staff recently solicited construction bids, identified additional funding needs, and is
recommending that the Mayor and City Council approve the award of a construction
contract to Pacific Play Systems, Inc., of Carlbad, California. Additionally, staff is
requesting that the Mayor and City Council authorize a total project budget of $241,000 ,
which includes construction, contingency, and staff time costs.
If approved, construction work will commence in June 2020 and be completed by
August 2020
Discussion
Project 13381, to provide new playground equipment at Al Guhin Park, was advertised
for public bidding on February 20, 2020 and February 27, 2020 in the San Bernardino
County Sun Newspaper, F. W. Dodge, Construction Bid Board, High Desert Plan Room,
San Diego Daily Transcript, Sub-Hub Online Plan Room, Reed Construction Data, Bid
America Online, Construction Bid Source, Bid Ocean, the City’s websites, and the San
Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce.
Sealed bids were received and opened on March 25, 2020. The City received four (4)
bids as follows:
Bidder City Base Bid
Pacific Play Systems, Inc. Carlsbad $ 209,500.00
Micon Construction, Inc. Placentia $ 257,573.00
R.E. Schultz, Inc. Orange $ 293,300.00
** BNC Construction, Inc. Artesia $ 207,800.00
** BNC Construction bid is considered non-responsive as they did not follow direction provided in Addendum No. 2
The bid solicitation resulted in a construction bid amount for the project that is higher
than staff had originally anticipated. The difference can be attributed to the increases in
material costs that have occurred since the time staff submitted project estimates for
budgeting purposes. Staff has reviewed all bid packages and confirmed that Pacific
Play Systems, Inc. of Carlsbad, California, is the lowest most responsible and
responsive bidder, with a total bid amount of $209,500.
In addition to construction costs, staff anticipates the need fo r a construction
contingency to provide for any unforeseen work that is related to the project, and
estimated staff costs required to support engineering inspections of the project. At this
time, the estimated full project cost is at $241,000, which includes the lowest responsive
construction bid, project contingencies, and engineering inspections. The breakdown of
the total project costs are as follows:
6683
Page 3
Estimated Project Cost Amount
Construction Bid $ 209,500
Construction Contingency $ 21,500
Engineering and Inspections $ 10,000
Total Project Costs $ 241,000
The total project costs exceed the current Project budget amount of $133,539
appropriated in Parkland DIF Fund (268). Additional funding in the amount of $107,461
is needed to move forward with the project. Because this improvement project will
expand the recreational facility options for the community, staff is recommending
Quimby Act Parkland funds be used to support the remaining budget needs of the
Project.
If awarded by the Mayor and City Council, construction work to rehabilitate the parking
lots is anticipated to begin in June 2020 and is anticipated to be completed by
September 2020.
2020-2025 Strategic Key Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No. 1c - Create a framework for spending
decisions and 1e - Create an asset management plan. Use of Quimby Act Parkland DIF
for this Project aligns with the intended use of the fees in serving to improve park
facilities to meet growing community needs. Completion of this project will provide a
new recreational feature, improving an existing neighborhood and community park, and
enhancing the value of the Al Guhin Park as a City asset.
Fiscal Impact
No General Fund impact. Parkland DIF funding in the amount of $13 4,700 was
previously approved by the Mayor and City Council for the Al Guhin Park Playground
Equipment (account 268-160-7899-5504) and $132,796.40 remains available for this
project. An additional $108,203.60 to cover the full cost of the project is availa ble from
Quimby Act Parkland DIF (Fund 269).

Fund 268 CIP FY 19/20 Available Funds $132,796.40
