PREVIOUS RELATED ACTION:
On August 21, 2023, City Council created the two CIP projects, “New Playground at Washington Park Baseball Fields,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-71094 and “Washington Park Community Center Rehabilitation,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-71095, funding these projects with District 3 and Mayoral ARP funding and District 3 CIP Carryover Discretionary funding.
On February 26, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-24 unappropriating $100,000 of ARP funds from “New Playground at Washington Park Baseball Fields,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-71094 and appropriating $260,000 of Measure A funding to “New Playground at Washington Park Baseball Fields.” On April 8, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-54 that unappropriated $35,000 from “New Playground at Washington Park Baseball Fields,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-71094 and appropriated this funding to “Washington Park Community Center Rehabilitation,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-71095.
On April 15, 2024, City Council awarded the construction contract for various playground projects including “New Playground at Washington Park Baseball Fields,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-71094.
DISCUSSION:
This Project provides for a new playground near the baseball fields at Washington Park to allow for children to play in a well-supervised area while families watch baseball games at the park. The playground equipment is being funded by Los Angeles County Regional Parks and Open Space District (RPOSD) Measure A funding. The project was awarded and construction began. Based on site conditions, high voltage wiring needs to be relocated which was not originally anticipated in the project. The City requires an additional appropriation of $20,000 for the relocation of the electrical conduits which supports the baseball field lights to properly install the new playground poles.
Approval of the recommended action will un-appropriate $20,000 of District 3 Carryover CIP Discretionary Funding from “Washington Park Community Center Rehabilitation,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-71095. It will also appropriate this $20,000 of funding to “New Playground at Washington Park Baseball Fields,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-71094. The “Washington Park Community Center Rehabilitation,” project received sufficient American Rescue Plan (ARP) funding to allow for the un-appropriation of $20,000 of District 3 Carryover CIP Discretionary Funding.
Once the appropriation is approved, Staff will process a purchase order with the electrical work being performed before the end of March. The playground project is anticipated to be completed in May barring unforeseen weather or other events.
