EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City and Consultant have been progressing with the design development for the South Tower Park and have completed the conceptual designs of the San Pablo Park and Ted C. Wills Community Center Projects. The original agreement includes 100% design and preparation of complete construction documents for the South Tower Park Project and 30% conceptual designs of both San Pablo Park and Ted C. Wills Community Center Projects. City staff recommends continuing the progress of the design for San Pablo Park and Ted C. Wills Community Center Projects. Therefore, the City desires to amend the scope of the Agreement to include design services to prepare full construction documents for both parks. This amendment will be funded with Measure P, Expenditure Category 1 (Non-High Needs Neighborhoods) revenues.
BACKGROUND
Council District 3 along with the Parks, After School Recreation and Community Services (PARCS) Department have engaged the communities neighboring San Pablo Park and Ted C. Wills Community Center to develop conceptual plans as part of the original agreement. The City now desires to develop plans and bid documents for the San Pablo Park and Ted C. Wills Community Center Projects based on the feedback received from the community. San Pablo Park is located at 511 North San Pablo Avenue, on the northeast corner of Belmont Avenue and San Pablo Avenue, below State Route 180. Ted C. Wills Community Center is located at 770 North San Pablo Avenue, on the east side of San Pablo Avenue, north of Belmont Avenue.
If funded for construction, the Ted C. Wills Community Center Project will make use of the previously occupied space, by Big Picture Elementary School, to add open play lawn area, park lighting, fencing, tables, permanent seating, drinking fountains, a dog park, and improved ADA access. The San Pablo Park Project will renovate the entire park site to include new multi-use sports courts, fitness area, skate plaza, stage, gaming area, seating plaza, and art work throughout.
The original agreement dated January 14, 2022, allocated a total amount of $249,400, with a contingency amount of $15,000. Staff now recommends Council approve the First Amendment to the Consultant Services Agreement with O’Dell Engineering, in the amount of $219,300, increasing the total contract amount to $468,700, with a remaining contingency of $15,000, for the South Tower Park, San Pablo Park and the Ted C. Wills Community Center Projects and authorize the Public Works Director or designee to execute the First Amendment on behalf of the City of Fresno.
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved this amendment as to form.

LOCAL PREFERENCE

FISCAL IMPACT
