DISCUSSION
The Portola Splash Pad and Restroom Renovation Project (Project No. 24-2501) scope
of work includes the construction of the City's first splash pad and the renovation of the
existing men's and women's restrooms at Portola Park (Exhibit 1). The project will
introduce an accessible, water -based recreational amenity that serves users of all ages
and physical abilities and also addresses aging infrastructure and existing ADA
deficiencies within the restroom facilities. The project is funded through the Cannabis
Benefit Fund which enables the City to reinvest locally generated cannabis revenues

into high -impact community amenities that enhance public health and recreational
opportunities. The addition of a splash pad supports the City's broader parks and
recreation goals by activating underutilized park space, improving park functionality, and
enhancing quality -of -life amenities for residents.
The project location was identified and approved by City Council as a priority project on
October 15, 2024, following prior planning efforts to expand equitable recreational
opportunities citywide. This project represents the first splash pad to be constructed
under the City's long-range park improvement initiatives and is intended to serve as a
prototype for future similar facilities. Construction is scheduled to begin in February
2026, with the goal of opening the facility for public use by summer 2026. Upon
completion, the park will feature upgraded ADA-compliant restroom facilities and a fully
operational splash pad with ongoing maintenance incorporated into existing PWA
operations. The project advances the City's adopted Parks Master Plan by improving
park infrastructure, enhancing public safety and accessibility, and providing heat -relief
amenities during warmer months, in support of the City's long-term vision for inclusive,
resilient, and well -activated public spaces.
Proiect Advertisement and Contractor Procurement
To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, the City notified a total of
2,545 regional vendors via PlanetBids, many of which are Santa Ana based.
Furthermore, staff specifically reached out to Santa Ana vendors to encourage their
participation in bids. A total of four bids were received. Zero bids were received from
Santa Ana contractors.
As legally required, a Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the Orange County Register
newspaper on November 26, 2025 and December 3, 2025. The project was also
advertised in PlanetBids from November 26, 2025 to December 18, 2025. Bids were
received electronically via PlanetBids on December 18, 2025. No bid protest was
submitted by any of the bidders during the bid protest period.
A copy of construction plans, contracts, specifications, and all related reference
materials (such as The Greenbook) are available for public review at the City's Public
Works Agency, Central Files office located in City Hall.

Based on the bid analysis and a contractor's reference check, staff recommends
awarding the construction contract to Golden Gate Steel, Inc. (Exhibit 3).
This will be Golden Gate Steel, Inc.'s first construction project for the City of Santa Ana;
however, the contractor has completed complex projects for other public agencies. Most
recently, the contractor completed a multi -use and single -use restroom renovation for
the Rancho Santiago Community College District and conversion of an existing facility
into a public shelter facility for the City of Corona. Golden Gate Steel, Inc. holds a type
A — General Engineering Contractor license from the State, deeming them technically
qualified for this project. Based on the contractor's experience and positive contractor's
reference check, staff is confident that Golden Gate Steel, Inc. will provide the same
quality work for the City.

project delivery cost includes a budget allocation for construction administration,
inspection, and testing. Construction administration and inspection may be performed
by either Staff or consultants and includes construction management, inspection of the
Contractor's work to ensure contract compliance, workmanship and quality, materials
testing, and implementation of the labor requirements.
Any of the allocated construction administration funds not spent are considered project
savings and are returned to the respective fund balance upon close out of the project.
As indicated in the Cost Analysis and as summarized in the table below, the estimated
total construction delivery cost of the project is $2,467,500.
