LA COSTA CANYON PARK - CONTRACT NO. 1045
Statement of the Matter
Bids for La Costa Canyon Park improvement were opened on October 23, 1978 at
3:OO p.m. by the City Clerk.
One bid was received from Thibodo Construction of Vista in the amount of
$228,939.25. The architect's estimate for this project was $135,745. Since
the construction estimate was prepared approximately one year ago, a more
realistic estimate of construction costs would be approx mately $180,000,
which would take into consideration a construction infla ion factor of ap-
p rox i mate I y 30%.
Discussion with the archifect and the contractor has ind cated that some
modifications to the specifications in grading, play equipment and soil
amendments may also help to reduce costs.
%
As a result, staff recommends that the plans and specifications be mddified
and that the project be readvertised for bids.
