Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
Adoption of Resolution 22-018 approving the application for specified grant funds from the State of California budget act 2022/23 (Sec 19.56 (A) (8) A(BG) in the amount of $2,200,000 for Bower Park Restoration Project at the January 10, 2023 Board Meeting.
Approval of BOS Agreement 23-062 with the State of California Natural Resources Agency Department of Parks and Recreation for general fund specified grant for Bower Park restoration, in the amount of $2,200,000, effective upon full execution through June 30, 2026; and authorization for the Facilities and Fleet Division Manager to establish a Capital Improvement project for the grant, and to act as project manager at the April 25, 2023 meeting.
Approval of Agreement with Integra Planning and Landscape Architecture, Inc. in the Amount of $356,756 for Professional Landscape Architecture Services Required to Complete the Bower Park Restoration and Improvement Project at 38040 Old Stage Road, Gualala, CA, 95445
Summary of Request:
The Bower Park Improvement and Restoration project was created upon receipt and acceptance of the Bower Park specified grant in 2023. Staff subsequently solicited and the Board awarded a design contract to develop plans for the Park and ensure the approval of environmental studies and a Coastal Development use permit. Phase one of the project for the removal of over 250 dead and dying pine trees was completed in 2024, while staff and the architectural team conducted workshops and surveys to gather the Gualala community’s input on their priorities for the project. Project plans were subsequently developed, a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Initial Study with Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND) was prepared and circulated and the Coastal Development use permit application was submitted and ultimately approved on May 1, 2025 along with adoption of the ISMND.
Project plans were issued for bid on May 9, 2025 and on June 5 one bid was received in the amount of $3,345,000, which far exceeds the construction budget for the project. With insufficient funding to award a contract based on that bid, staff recommends rejection of the bid and direction to staff to modify the scope of the project and re-issue plans for bidding at a future date.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Provide alternate direction to staff.
