OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to a ward the contract for the Concrete Pad Installation to SAVI Construction Inc. for the Clean California Medal of Honor Bike and Pedestrian Trail (CAMOH) Project, Project No. GT1408000.
BACKGROUND
In February 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution approving participation in the Clean California Local Grant Program (CCLGP) and authorized the appropriation of $441,000 in grant funds. Through this program, the City committed to improving parks and pathways with the goals of reducing litter, enhancing public health, and benefiting underserved communities.
The awarded funds will be used to install new outdoor fitness equipment, litter abatement signage, trail furnishings, trash receptacles, bike racks on four concrete pads, and landscaping/mulch along t he Medal of Honor Bike and Pedestrian Trail. These proposed amenities and enhancements are a direct response to public feedback and reflect community priorities for trail improvements.
In August 2025, the City Council authorized the purchase of outdoor fi tness equipment and site furnishings from Greenfields Outdoor Fitness, Inc. (Greenfields). The existing installation areas consist of dirt paths, which require the construction of concrete pads to ensure the proper and secure installation of the outdoor eq uipment. Following the purchase authorization, staff met with Greenfields to develop the engineering plans and specifications for the required concrete pads.
