FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Alamo Creek Park (Phase I) improvements were constructed by Rafanelli and
Nahas as part of their park dedication requirement for the Villages at Willow
Creek project. The original estimated cost of these improvements to Rafanelli
and Nahas was $666,380. Rafanelli and Nahas has also paid for City-supplied
design work and inspection.
At the end of the last fiscal year, it was anticipated that the park would be
finished by August of 1988, and only $3,898 was budgeted for inspection.
There were several problems in completing this project, including obtaining
electrical service and delivery of the bridge, which has delayed work on the
project and acceptance. As a result of this delay, an additional
appropriation in the amount of $7,767 is necessary. This appropriation will
be offset by reimbursement revenue paid by the developer.
Total budgeted for design and inspection: $45,000.00
Budgeted in 1988-89 only: $ 3,898.00
Estimated total cost:
$53,513.92

DESCRIPTION:
On April 14, 1986, the City Council approved the design for Alamo Creek Park
(formerly East Dougherty Hills Park). On September 8, 1986, the City Council
approved an agreement with Rafanelli and Nahas for construction of park
improvements, and on November 10, 1986, accepted a grant deed for the
approximately 5.6 acre park property. The first-phase improvements include
the turf area, lighting, the parking lot, park furniture, fencing, and the
bridge connecting the portions of the park that are separated by the creek.
ITEM NO. ~'-~ ~'~. COPIES TO:
Because the cost of the bridge caused the total cost of the park to exceed the
dollar amount required to be constructed by Rafanelli and Nahas, certain other
improvements were approved to be "traded" for the bridge. The major trade-off
was to provide a gravel access road in lieu of the concrete road that was
originally specified.
The major factors contributing to the overrun of design and inspection are an
error in the topographical survey from the developer which caused a grading
redesign, a sight distance problem on Dougherty Road which required a redesign
of improvements along Dougherty Road, and the stretching out of the work
causing additional inspection time.
The City Council also approved a licensing agreement between Zone 7 and the
City for joint use of the Alamo Creek right-of-way through the park. The
terms of this agreement provide that the City is responsible for maintaining
additional landscaping improvements, while Zone 7 is responsible for flood
control and water conservation.
The work on the park has been inspected and determined to be complete and in
accordance with the approved plans and specifications except for delivery of
the sign face for the park sign structure. Therefore, Staff recommends that
the City Council accept these improvements for maintenance by the City.
