AGENDA
REPORT
July 19, 2022
DISCUSSION:
Working in concert with community residents and on behalf of the City, Pogo Park submitted a successful $8.5 million "Prop 68" grant application to the State of California Parks and Recreation Department for the Harbour-8 Expansion Project. The project will expand the current Harbour 8 Park by acquiring land south of the park. The redesigned park will include a community hall, children's play area, restroom, general play area, picnic area, bike and walking paths, lighting, public art, security cameras, and landscaping.
City staff recommends approval of a contract amendment with Pogo Park in the amount of $5,370,000 for the construction phase of the project for a total contract amount of $6,959,500. The State awarded the City the Proposition 68 grant largely due to Pogo Park's innovative community engagement activities and to support a community design and build model for this project. Pogo Park will engage Richmond- based contractors and will ensure participation of local residents in the construction process, and gains toward an ultimate goal of the project in creating a sense of ownership of Harbour 8 Park by the local community members.
