Award a contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Hondo Company, Inc., in accordance <br />with the base bid, totaling $172,915, for the construction of Fisher Park Butterfly and Bird <br />Habitat, and Centennial Park Slope Rehabilitation projects. <br />2. Approve the Cost Analysis, as shown in Exhibit 1, for a total estimated project delivery cost <br />of $224,770. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency received funding from the California <br />State Parks Habitat Conservation Fund Grant Program to install a butterfly and bird habitat <br />landscape along the southern edge of Fisher Park adjacent to the Santiago Creek (see Exhibit <br />2). The project will beautify the existing slope and create an environment to attract various <br />species of butterflies, hummingbirds, and other wildlife. The project scope includes: removal of <br />non-native vegetation, elimination of invasive plant species, planting of native plants and <br />flowers, and installation of interpretive signage. <br />At the Centennial Park Soccer Complex, there is a need to rehabilitate the slope along a bike <br />access trail on the north side of Soccer Field No. 4 (see Exhibit 3). Water run-off from storm <br />and irrigation water has caused erosion to the slope and damage to the synthetic turf soccer <br />field. New retaining walls and curbs will be constructed to reduce the slope angle along with the <br />installation of riprap rock. New handrails will provide pedestrian safety along the top of the <br />slope. <br />23A-1
