Director of Parks & Recreation
Director of Public Works
The City has received an amended contract from HUD outlining the
responsibility of the City in its improvements of the Larkhaven and
Otay Parks. The contract relates to the HUD grant of $79,134 for the
development of these two parks.
The Parks and Recreation Director has prepared a proposal for the
development of the two parks, indicating a breakdown of the work to be
accomplished and the method of accomplishment. He has indicated for
instance that grading of the parks would be accomplished by a contractor,
whereas the irrigation work and landscaping work would be accomplished
by receiving bids for the materials and accomplishing the work by force
account.
Because of the many facets to the improvement of a park and the varied
contractors and subcontractors needed, the estimates and the method of
accomplishment outlined by the Director of Parks & Recreation has been
approved and it is recommended by the City Manager in accordance with
the City Charter that the work be accomplished by force account.
