CARLSBAD PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY
AB# oa m:
MTG. 34-0~ REJECT CONSTRUCTION PROPOSALS FOR
THE CARLSBAD CITY GOLF COURSE PROJECT
DEPT. CD
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends the Authority ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 4 rejecting all
construction cost proposals received for the construction of the Carlsbad City Golf Course
Project.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
At its meeting of April 18, 2000, the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, acting in concert
with the Board of the Carlsbad Municipal Water District, approved the Joint Exercise of
Powers Agreement creating the Carlsbad Public Financing Authority. On May 16, 2000,
the Authority adopted rules and regulations, a conflict of interest code, and contractor
selection procedures for the proposed Carlsbad City Golf Course Project. The Authority
has become the controlling entity to finance, construct, manage, operate, and maintain the
Golf Course Project on behalf of the City of Carlsbad as the owner of the property upon
which the project will be developed.
At its meeting of June 13, 2000, the Authority approved the plans and specifications and
authorized the solicitation of construction cost proposals for the Golf Course Project. The
Authority Board will recall this very large and complex project was divided into three (3)
construction components: (1) golf course including all required on-site and off-site road
and utility improvements and environmental mitigation, (2) all six (6) buildings including the
clubhouse, and (3) bridge structure over College Boulevard. On September 13, 2000, the
Authority received cost proposals from the following companies pre-qualified by the
Authority for this project:
Golf Course Construction
Landscapes Unlimited, Inc.
Wadsworth Golf Construction
Ranger Golf, Inc.
Environmental Golf, Inc.

E. L. Yeager Construction Company $ 775,047
ERRECAS, Inc. $ 785,397
R.E. Hazard Construction Company $ 844,322
*** Total of 3 lowest cost proposals submitted: $25,493,725
The construction cost proposals are being recommended to be rejected by the Authority
for two (2) reasons. First, because of jurisdictional conflicts and processing entanglements
originating with various Federal and State Resource Agencies, including the California
Coastal Commission, final certification of the Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan has
been delayed indefinitely. Additionally, the California Coastal Commission has asserted
“appeal authority” over the previously issued Coastal Development Permit for the City Golf
Course Project eliminating any opportunity the City may have to proceed with golf course
construction in the near term.
The second reason for rejecting the construction cost proposals at this time is that the
terms and conditions of the Authority’s solicitation of proposals specifies the cost
proposals are valid for a period of 180 calendar days from the date of opening, which in
this case was September 13, 2000. Therefore, the Authority must either award
construction contracts within the 180 calendar day period or the cost proposals become
null and void. The proposals expire on or about March 13, 2001.
Therefore, it is recommended the Authority formally reject the above referenced
construction cost proposals for all three (3) components of the Golf Course Project
received by the Authority on September 13, 2000.
On June 7, 2000, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4772 certifying the
Environmental Impact Report finding the project consistent with the California
Environmental Quality Act and applicable City ordinances and environmental policies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Authority incurs no costs or liabilities related to the solicitation and subsequent
rejection of the above referenced construction cost proposals.
EXHIBITS:
1. Resolution No. 4 regarding the Authority’s rejection of construction cost
proposals for the Carlsbad City Golf Course Project.
