Award Construction Contract to Byrom -Davey Inc. July 19, 2022 Page 2 DISCUSSION Santa Anita Park was developed and added to the park system in 1970. Since then it has remained largely unchanged. This very comprehensive project will enable a total park renovation that includes a new synthetic turf soccer field, new sports lighting, regrading of the adjacent grass slopes to incorporate built-in concrete bleacher seating, upper terraces to allow for group or event canopies, a new basketball court, new play equipment, a parking lot expansion, new concrete walkways, new site lighting, new landscape and irrigation (Exhibit 1). In addition, staff is currently awaiting an anticipated $5 million of American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) federal funds for these park improvements, pending Council approval. The additional funds will permit the hiring of a Design -Build architecture firm to assist with the demolition and reconstruction of the deteriorating Santa Anita Community Center facility.
