City Council Agenda Item #4
Staff Report
Date: June 2, 2025
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Dave Harden, City Engineer
Subject: Gridley Sports Complex Ph 1 – Construction Management and Inspection Services Task Order
Recommendation
City staff respectfully recommend that the City Council authorize the City Administrator to execute Task Order No. 4, with UNICO Engineering in the amount of $99,614.03, with a budget not to exceed $109,600, to allow for an approximate contingency of 10%, for construction management support, inspection Services and materials testing for Gridley Sports Complex Ph 1 Project. The contingency budget will be executed through a signed amendment to the task order by the City Administrator, as needed. The contract is based on Time and Material rates and is subject to change based on actual time of construction.
Background
On August 18, 2022, the City received a letter from the California Department of Parks and Recreation informing the City that they were selected for funding through Proposition 68 Rural Recreation and Tourism Program (RRT). The City has been awarded a $3,000,000 grant which will include the design and construction of Phase 1 of the Gridley Sports Complex. Phase 1 will include multi-use sports fields with lighting, shade trees, educational signage, restroom/concession stand, a safe changing space, benches and tables, and a drinking fountain with bottle refill station. To be eligible for reimbursement the items listed above must be installed and completed as part of this project.
On September 3rd, 2024, the City Council authorized the City Administrator to execute professional service agreement contracts with four firms for the On-call construction management and inspection services for the City. Staff requested proposals for construction management and inspection from all four firms on the on-call list. After review by a committee, it was determined that Unico was the most responsive and provided more flexibility for performing the work, considering the other projects they are assigned to in the area. Although they are not the lowest bidder, which is based on a set number of working days, it was taken into consideration that the flexibility of not having to charge for a full day could be more cost-effective for the project.
Cost breakdown of On-call CM firms
Firm CM/RE Materials Testing Total
4Leaf, Inc. $40,380 $47,507 $87,887
Ghirardelli $84,492.00 $16,419.60 $100,911.60

Financial Impact
On January 21, 2025, the City approved a $2.46 million construction contract, along with a 10% construction contingency, along with a $462,000 budget for work to be installed by City, along with the previously approved contract with Bennett Engineering (BENEN) of $490,000 on January 17, 2023, bringing the total project cost to $3,665,339.20.
The CM portion of the project was included in the contract with BENEN and the budgeted amount will be reduced from their contract to allow the City to utilize construction management and inspection services from the on-call list.
This costs for Construction Management was budgeted in the City’s FY-24/25 CIP Budget for the Sports Complex Project and is added to the FY25/26 CIP Budget for the project. And is included in the reimbursables for the grant.
As a reminder, here is the cost breakdown table that was provided at the January 2025 City Council meeting when the construction contract was awarded. Not changing, the overall budget has changed since that time.

Subject: Proposal to Provide Construction Inspection and Materials Testing Services Task Order #4: The Gridley Sports Complex Phase 1
Dear Mr. Harden,
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a proposal for construction inspection and materials testing services for the above referenced project. The attached proposal outlines the specific work effort required to meet the goals of your project as we understand them.
UNICO is providing the City with two qualified Construction Inspector candidates: Bob Sahagun and John Benedict. This team is based in Oroville with extensive experience on new infrastructure projects.
Our team is dedicated to partnering with our clients to develop trust-based relationships centered on moving their projects forward. Once we have confirmed that this proposal meets with your needs, we will meet with you to discuss the tasks to be done and your required schedule for completion.
As the President of UNICO, I am authorized to bind the company into a contract with the City and can be reached at 530.903.9023 or via email at [email protected]. Contract Manager and Resident Engineer, Rob Nelson, is also available to answer questions and can be reached at 916.337.0730 or via email at [email protected].

Task Order #4: The Gridley Sports Complex Phase 1
| 1
Project Understanding
The Gridley Sports Complex Phase 1 project consists
of grading the multi-use sports fields, a concrete
plaza, installation of sports lighting, water lines,
drainage system, irrigation system, and planting. The
sports complex is anticipated to begin in April 2025
and be completed by November 2025. The project
aims to provide a new recreational area and multi use
sports complex for various sports leagues, including
soccer, football, and baseball.
on-site part time so effective communication and
detailed daily reports will be necessary for accurate
quantity tracking.
UNICO’s Solution:
To minimize quantity discrepancies, UNICO will focus
on frequent communication with the Contractor
and review of the Contractor’s schedule updates.
Frequent communication with the Contractor will
allow UNICO’s Inspector to understand the project
progress. Review of the Contractor’s schedule
updates will allow UNICO’s Inspector to understand
when inspection is needed.
The inspection will be documented by the Inspector’s
Daily Reports and will include site photographs and
videos of pre/during/post construction operations.
UNICO’s daily inspection report will include the
standard information in addition to a summary of
work that was completed since the previous site
visit with additional photos to document the work.
During construction activities, the Inspector will spot check for contract compliance to minimize quantity
overruns. In addition, bid items will be measured,
tracked, and agreed to daily to allow for early
identification of quantity overruns and avoid unknown
costs. UNICO has performed an independent analysis
of the bid item quantities.
Challenge: Drainage
Proper drainage of a sports complex is crucial to
prevent waterlogging and flooding while maximizing
the time facilities can remain operational. Without
proper drainage there can be damage to playing
surfaces creating unsafe conditions.
Solution:
The quality control process will begin with a
constructability review to identify site characteristics, such as soil type, slope, and utility cover, in order to understand critical components. During installation,
UNICO’s Inspector will verify conformance with
contract specifications. UNICO’s Inspector will
check drainage infrastructure, pipes, and grading
are installed at the correct depths, slopes, and
locations. Regular testing of the drainage system
and grading will verify that water moves through the
system without pooling or obstruction. By consistently
inspecting, testing, and documenting the drainage
infrastructure, the sports complex facilities will remain safe, operational, and protected from water-related
damage.
This 180 working day project will require a tenured
construction management team that is proficient
in the implementation and construction of park
improvement projects for approximately 50 working
days. The UNICO team will focus on effective quantity
tracking, quality control, and Contractor coordination.
UNICO brings a spirit of cooperation and partnering
while managing the quality of the improvements,
project budget, and contractual requirements for the
Contractor. Our methodology for success has five
main components: reasonableness, responsiveness,
effective cost management, timely project delivery,
and quality.
Anticipated Project Challenges and
Solutions
UNICO has visited the project site and reviewed the
bid documents to develop the following anticipated
project challenges and proposed solutions.
Challenge: Quantity Tracking
Quantity tracking of items such as excavation, offhaul, and site concrete require on-going quantity tracking. As requested, the UNICO Inspector will be
