DISCUSSION
The Civic Center Parking Lot Project, CIP No. 22-24 (Project), was completed as a City Council priority project that improves accessibility and connectivity to adjacent existing and proposed public facilities, such as the Menifee Courthouse, Central Park Amphitheater, and the future City Hall building. The Project consisted of constructing a permanent parking area to accommodate 191 parking spaces, as well as water quality basins, lighting, walking areas, a passive park, infrastructure for future electric vehicle charging stalls, landscaping, and irrigation. The Project supports the City’s Connectivity and Mobility Strategic Plan Objective of enhancing accessibility and linking the community with sustainable infrastructure to meet the City’s needs.
On December 4, 2024, the City Council approved the construction contract (Contract) with Hillcrest Contracting, Inc (Contractor) in the amount of $3,292,946. One contract change order (CCO) in the credit amount of $267,510.02 was processed in August 2026 and decreased the total not-to-exceed Contract amount to $3,025,436.58, as shown in Table 1 on the following page.
The Project was completed under the overall Project budget amount of $3,848,844, with a final construction cost of $3,422,831.91, and includes CCO No. 1, as well as ancillary costs such as materials testing and labor compliance services.

If approved, a Notice of Completion (NOC) would be filed, which protects the City from future claims against the Project by providing proper noticing to each contractor, subcontractor, and material supplier that the Project has been completed. The payment bond would be released upon Project acceptance by the City, and the performance bond would be released one year after the date of recording of the NOC. The City has not received any stop notices that would prevent said releases.
