1. CALL TO ORDER—ROLL CALL—PLEDGE
OF ALLEGIANCE
Meeting was called to order at 5:45 p.m. by Chair Faltings. Director Kamena was noted absent at the time of roll call.
2. LIVERMORE AREA YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION REPORT
Katrina Cruz and Alia Wilson, members of the Livermore Area Youth Advisory Commission addressed the Board on a survey conducted among Livermore youth on what was wanted in Livermore for recreation opportunities. The number one request had been for a BMX street bike park. Ms. Wilson and Ms. Cruz stated that they wanted to find out whether development of a facility could be placed on the capital project funding list for the upcoming fiscal year.
Board questioned Ms. Cruz and Ms. Wilson on survey data, the recommendation of the Commission, possible location, and possible vandalism if such a facility was developed. The Commission members were asked to compile specific survey numbers and return the data to LARPD Senior Recreation Technician, Julie Lange. Director Quinn stated that more definitive information was needed, such as what type of facility was needed, would a portable facility suffice, etc., in order to define a scope for a project. It was suggested that perhaps the youth who had attended the Commission meetings could help better define what was needed.
Chair Faltings asked staff
to continue to work with the Youth Commission on developing further information
for the project.
3. BID
RESULTS FOR RAVENSWOOD, VISTA MEADOWS, SUMMIT AND LIVERMORE DOWNS PARK
IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Superintendent of Planning and Parks Craig presented a recommendation to the Board of Directors to reject all bids received for the project and to direct staff to re-bid the project as soon as possible. One bid had been received from J.W. Riley & Son, Inc. of Emeryville; the submitted bid was for $1,581,960 which was approximately 37% above engineer’s estimate for the project. Additionally, there were bid proposal irregularities; some figures were omitted and some figures, which should have matched, did not. The bidder had also left out quantity amounts on the unit price schedule.
Board discussed whether or not to re-bid the project as soon as possible. If the project was re-bid immediately, was the District likely to receive the same results? Superintendent Craig indicated that this was prime time for contractors with a lot of competing projects. Some contractors that did not submit bids had believed that the project was for play equipment only. Staff also intended to simplify the unit price schedule contained in the bid documents and extend the time for bid response, in an effort to make the bid more attractive.
On motion by Director Furst, seconded by Director Turner, rejected all bids received for the Ravenswood, Vista Meadow, Summit and Livermore Downs park improvement project, passing 4-0.
On motion by Director Furst, seconded by Director
Turner, directed staff to re-bid the project in accordance with the
modifications proposed by staff, passing 4-0.
