RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. dC02-054 approving contract documents, special provisions and
specifications, and authorizing the City Clerk to advertise for bids to furnish and install synthetic turf
athletic fields at Poinsettia Park, install access stairs at Poinsettia Park and install access stairs at
Stagecoach Park - Contract No. PKS02-04.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Recently, it has become increasingly difficult to effectively maintain the three and a half acre
athletic field at Poinsettia Park. The field has suffered chronic, premature deterioration due to year
round use from soccer and lacrosse, adult and youth. Because of the high usage, grass cannot
grow and provide a safe playing surface for the players.
Every year, the field is closed (January through March and for part of June and July) to the public
for renovations. The City spends close to $20,000 annually for renovations, which includes
seeding, aerification, fertilization and irrigation improvements. Annual maintenance of the field is
approximately $114,000, which includes labor, material, irrigation and equipment. In an effort to
reduce maintenance costs and provide a safe playable field on a year round basis, staff has
researched the feasibility of using a synthetic turf field to replace the existing grass. The new
synthetic field will be available for use 365 days per year. This field will increase Recreation
programming and youth leagues field time. It will also increase revenue opportunities for the City.
In addition, staff feels it is in the City’s best interest to consolidate two other park C.I.P. projects into
this program. These projects incorporate the installation of access stairs to the synthetic turf field
at Poinsettia Park and access stairs to the tennis facility at Stagecoach Park. The coordination of
these projects will facilitate a smooth installation process under one general contractor. The stair
components were generated by citizen requests and the need to provide safe, easy access to
these park facilities.
Contract documents and plans are on file in the Public WorkslGeneral Services office. This project
will address the Council Goal as described below.
“Ensure the effective and efficient delivery of top-quality services to our community.”
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project has been determined to be exempt from environmental review per CEQA - Class 1 (c),
Minor alteration of existing facility.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost for this project is $810,000. Sufficient funds have been allocated in the City’s
C.I.P. Program budget for this project. Staff estimates the City will save $114,000 annually in
maintenance cost at Poinsettia Park
