TITLE:
Receive Public Works and Facilities Recommendation on Pavilion Design and Location, and Approve Conceptual Designs of Melton Design Group for Bainbridge Park Enhancement Project, PWP-00096, and Authorize Consultant to Proceed with Construction Documents ISSUE:
A first version of the visual mark-ups for the project were presented to Council on April 22, 2024. Council provided direction for the consultant to revise the picnic shelters and to replace them with a single pavilion. Staff and the consultant took revised schematics to Public Works and Facilities Committee (PWFC) on May 20, 2028 and pursuant to their direction, revised conceptual design options are included for the full Council review and approval. This review and approval by Council is critical for the conceptual designs to move into the construction document phase. Construction documents must be completed prior to letting a project to bid and construct.
ANALYSIS:
See staff report of April 22, 2024: https://cityfortbragg.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=12860120&GUID=179A7F62-6DAF-47C2-B996-2A9ECAD37596. At the Public Works and Facilities Meeting, the Committee did not reach a consensus. Based on preferences from each of the two (2) members, three (3) new options are being presented in the slide deck (attachment 1).
Staff and the consultant are requesting the following items be reviewed for majority consensus:
Proposed placement of picnic benches (shown in aerial site plan) Addition of pavilion with stage (select preferred option) Option 1A: 48’ x 24’ rectangle Spanish style pavilion located south of Veterans Hall in the central area of the park.
Option 1B: 36’ x 18’ rectangle Spanish style pavilion with perimeter seat walls, same location as 1A.
Option 2: 36’ x 18’ rectangle Spanish style pavilion, located on the northern perimeter of the grassy field, parallel to Laurel Street.
Option 3: Round Redwood Style (new), located centralized in the grassy area.
Stage Height (select preferred option)
Current stage options are shown at 18” or two full steps. This height does not require a railing on either stairs or ramp. The ramp length for this height is 30’ as required to meet ADA slope.
One Committee member requested the stage be raised further. As an example, raising the stage to 36” would require 60’ of ramp to meet ADA slope conditions. Additionally railing is needed as well as more grading, fill, and concrete both of which result in additional costs.
Stage Features (select preferred option(s))
Backdrop of fencing, shown in Option 1A and Option 2
Edge treatment with seat walls, shown in Option 1B
Long plaza like steps, shown in Option 2
