AWARD OF CONTRACT
SUMMARY
At its June 10th meeting, the City Council approved plans and specifications and
authorized staff to solicit bids for the completion of a fitness trail and recreational
enhancements at Rosemead Park. This project will include the addition of a jogging
trail, recreational equipment, and a tai-chi exercise pad. On June 30, 2008, bids were
received and reviewed for the project.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Community Development Commission award a contract to
lowest responsive bidder, The Nazerian Group, and authorize the Chairman and the
City Clerk to execute the contract.
DISCUSSION
Rosemead Park is the City's largest and, arguably, most used park. The Park is located
on the northwest corner of Mission Drive and Encinita Avenue. It abuts a neighborhood
to the east and is bordered by Rosemead High School on the west and Encinita
Elementary School on the north. Rosemead Park houses City preschool classes and
swim programs, youth and adult sports activities, numerous picnic shelters, basketball
courts, and three playgrounds - all of which are heavily used by the community.
The proposed Park enhancements included as part of this project will include the
creation of a'/ mile jogging/walking trail, the addition of a rubberized asphalt concrete
pad for tai-chi and volleyball participants, and the addition of new stationary exercise
units. If approved, staff will authorize the contractor to begin construction on July 14th
At 2:00 PM on June 30, 2008, the City Clerk opened and read the following total base
bid prices for this project:
