DISCUSSION:
This action will appropriate all remaining City Council CIP Carryover Discretionary funds which are required to be obligated by November 30, 2025. The remaining amounts in each District are as follows:
Mayor – Citywide $ 651
District 1 $10,360
District 2 $37,022
District 3 $ 5,105
District 4 $ 93
District 5 $ 0
District 6 $ 1
The funding will be placed in various projects. The “Park Restroom Construction and Replacement,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-71079 Project will provide for construction of new and replacement of existing park restrooms in various parks. This project is primarily funded with ARP funding. At the time the contract was awarded (December 16, 2024 City Council Meeting), it was required that ARP funding be contracted by either PO or formal contract to meet the December 31, 2024 deadline. At that time, only enough budget was provided to allow for the provision of the construction contract. Costs such as permitting, soil testing, material testing, utility, inspection, other future soft costs, and staff time were not factored in because it was thought that these costs would not be eligible for ARP funding. With the appropriation of $38,034 of CIP Carryover Discretionary funding, there is still an estimated shortfall of $289,105 in this project. The amount of the shortfall is estimated for each park in the table below:
Parks
District
Percent of Total Cost
Estimated shortfall by District Restroom
John F. Kennedy
1 25%
$72,276
Martin Luther King, Jr.
2 20.5%
$59,267
Tony Cerda
2 20.0%
$57,821
Washington
3 17.0%
$49,148
Palomares
6 17.5%
$50,593
Total
$289,105
Staff will continue to search for additional funding sources or grants that will make up the anticipated shortfall in this project.
Further, the “Martin Luther King Jr., Skate Park Expansion/Lights,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-71092 needs approximately $10,000 to provide for contingency and for funding a change order to remove concrete outside of the originally proposed concrete area limits to meet grades and tie into good existing concrete. Doing so will minimize future cracks and drain water away from the new skate features.
Adding $5,105 to “Enhanced Traffic Signage Replacement Program – Citywide,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-68588 will provide for traffic safety enhancements at the intersection of Grande Avenue and Towne Avenue to improve safety.
Adding $93 to “Garfield Park Renovation,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-71111 will add additional funding for the renovation of Garfield Park.
