Title
Staff Report for a Resolution Accepting the Work for the Thrasher Park Play Equipment and Fence Project, Project No. 2006.0070
Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the work for the Thrasher Park Play Equipment and Fence Project and authorize the City Manager to file the Notice of Completion, release the performance and payment bonds and release the maintenance bond upon successful completion of the one-year maintenance period.
BACKGROUND
This project replaced the existing dated play structure with new age-appropriate play structures and resilient rubber ground surfacing within the existing play area perimeter. The new equipment is compliant with State of California safety regulations for playgrounds and meets accessibility provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To improve safety and prevent foul balls from leaving the ball field, the project also replaced six-foot tall sections of the ball field perimeter fence adjacent to the play area with ten-foot tall fence sections. Also, consistent with the Citywide ADA transition plan, the project upgraded the park furniture in the play area vicinity to meet ADA standards. Post-construction photographs of the new park equipment are included as an attachment to this report.
Analysis
Construction is complete. The work was inspected and deemed to comply with the contract documents and City standards. The contractor has submitted a maintenance bond that meets the requirements of the contract.
Significant funding for this project was provided through a grant from the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The award amount was based on successful completion of affordable housing projects in the City of San Leandro.
