CC - Item 5A - Review and Approval of Rosemead Skate Plaza DesignROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
COUNCIL
FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER[Jy,�(
DATE: AUGUST 11, 2015
SUBJECT: REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF ROSEMEAD SKATE PLAZA DESIGN
SUMMARY
At its regular meeting on April 28, 2015, the City Council approved a contract with
Spohn Ranch Skateparks to design a skate plaza at Rosemead Park in the area directly
east of the aquatic center. As prescribed in the agreement with Spohn Ranch, public
meetings were held at the Rosemead Community Recreation Center on June 17 and
July 22, 2015 to solicit input from the community on the design of the skate plaza. The
design of a 10,000 square feet skate plaza is being presented to City Council for review
and approval. Upon approval, construction documents will be developed and the project
readied for construction. Skate plaza construction will, then, be publicly bid or
contracted directly through a cooperative purchasing program at City Council's
discretion.
Staff Recommendation:
1. That the City Council approve the proposed design of the Rosemead Skate
Plaza, and
2. That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an Interlocal
Contract through the Helping Governments Across the Country Buy (HGACBuy)
cooperative purchasing program, in an amount not to exceed $475,000, for
construction of the skate plaza project.
BACKGROUND /ANALYSIS
As indicated, City Council authorized the design of the Rosemead Skate Plaza in April
of this year. The design contractor, Spohn Ranch Skateparks, was obligated to host
public meetings for the purpose of seeking community input for the design. Community
meetings were held on June 17 and July 22, 2015 and approximately 80 people
attended the meetings.
At the June 17 meeting, Spohn Ranch gave a brief overview of similar projects and the
proposed location for the project at Rosemead Park, provided some guidelines,
discussed a variety of skate elements (and provided access to an interactive display on
a site layout), solicited input and facilitated discussion for design ideas among the more
than 50 people who attended. Spohn Ranch also provided a survey to all attendees to
determine preference and priority of skate elements and skill level for the plaza design.
ITEM N0. 5.A
City Coundl Meeting
June 13, 2006
Paqe 2 of 3
On July 22, Spohn Ranch presented an initial design which reflected the ideas resulting
from the community discussions and completed surveys. Feedback from those in
attendance was very positive. A few comments were made recommending only minor
modifications to the proposed design. Spohn Ranch has included those adjustments in
the design presented for City Council review.
As planned, the 10,000 square feet Rosemead Skate Plaza features transition -style
terrain which takes advantage of the natural changes in topography occurring at the
site. It also includes a variety of street features — steps, handrails, and benches as
requested. The layout of the plaza ensures uninterrupted user flow patterns and
includes open space for other programming. To personalize the skate plaza, Spohn
Ranch has integrated the City's logo into the design. They have also specified colored
concrete and a low- maintenance landscaped area (appears as the center turf area in
the renderings) to enhance general aesthetics. The plaza has been designed primarily
for beginner to intermediate users.
The designer's estimate for the project, as presented, is just under $497,000. If City
Council approves the design, the project will move to the construction documents and
specifications phase, which is included as part of the design agreement with Spohn
Ranch. This phase should take approximately 10 weeks to complete including City
review of the documents at 75% and 90% of completion. Once construction documents
and specifications are finalized, the skate plaza construction project would be ready for
public bid or could be contracted directly under the Helping Governments Across the
Country Buy (HGACBuy) program.
If bid publicly, the project would be advertised for several weeks, bids opened and
reviewed, and the project awarded to the lowest responsive bidder with municipal skate
park/plaza construction experience. The bidder would be expected to perform the work
at or near the construction estimate of $497,000, provide construction submittals within
two weeks, and complete construction within the anticipated 90 -day project timeline.
Title 1 of the California Government Code allows cities and other public agencies to
participate in cooperative purchasing programs like HGACBuy. Counties, cities, school
districts, and a variety of other public agencies nationwide currently use the HGACBuy
program including, locally, the cities of Baldwin Park, Commerce, Los Angeles,
Monterey Park, and Pasadena. Spohn Ranch is an approved vendor through the
HGACBuy program and would be eligible to construct Rosemead's skate plaza project.
In addition to designing skate parks, Spohn Ranch is a general contractor specializing
skate park/plaza construction.
Because the City can use a cooperative purchasing agreement for skate plaza
construction, it may consider contracting directly through the HGACBuy program. Using
the HGACBuy program will save an estimated six weeks from the project timeline by
eliminating the necessity of bidding (four weeks) and contractor coordination and

submittals (two weeks). Additionally, the HGACBuy guarantees a five percent (5 %),
approximately $25,000, reduction from the construction estimate. Thus, the project cost
under HGACBuy is reduced to approximately $475,000. Further, by directly contracting
with Spohn Ranch through the cooperative purchasing program, the City is assured that
the work will be done by a competent and experienced contractor, who, in this case,
also designed the skate plaza, would not need to hire additional construction
management services, and should mitigate any need for significant change orders
which often result in cost increases up to 15 %.

between bidders, clients are able to focus their attention on successful completion of the project.
QUICK TURNAROUND
By eliminating the numerous steps described above, the length of the procurement process is reduced
by up to 75 %. Facing an expiring grant deadline or looming winter weather? HGAC's expedited process
ensures our crew gets on the ground and your kids are skating as quickly as possible.
GUARANTEED QUALITY & PRICE
It's no secret that roughly 6o% of the skatepark industry's construction bids come in over budget and
have to either be re -bid multiple times or value engineered. Spohn Ranch's proposal for design /build
services will detail a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), meaning no change orders, cost overruns or
markup from a general contractor - what you see is what you get. Additionally, HGACBuy requires
contractors to provide a 5% discount off list price for their products and services - a cost savings
passed directly to the client.
