COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item 13
Meeting Date 3/1/88
Resolution ~'3 ~ ~ ~ Approving an agreement with ONA,
Landscape Architects for the irrigation redesign of Hilltop
Park
Director of Parks and Recreation
City Manager
(4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
A capital improvement project for Hilltop Park was approved in FY 1987-88.
The present irrigation system is in need of major upgrading. The present
irrigation system requires drastic overwatering of the park in order to
prevent dry turf areas from developing. The system also necessitates day time
watering of the park during the summer months which requires staff to be
assigned during this time to prevent vandalism. In addition, due to the age
of the system, park personnel spends an inordinate amount of time repairing
irrigation lines and heads. This project will involve the complete redesign
of the irrigation system allowing for more effective and efficient watering
system.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt a resolution approving an agreement with
ONA, Landscape Architects for irrigation redesign services.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
A selection Committee, comprised of staff from Parks and Recreation and
Planning reviewed six proposals submitted for the Hilltop Park Irrigation
Redesign Project. The Committee selected three firms, ONA; Steve Halsey Land
Planning; and PARTEC. These firms were then interviewed by this Department,
with ONA being selected as the firm best suited for doing the job. This
decision was based on ONA, Inc. experience in working with other San Diego
Municipalities and their positive productive output in doing City of Chula
Vista landscape projects. This department then negotiated what it considers
to be a competitive fee for this service.
Attached to the resolution is a copy of the proposed agreement with ONA. The
agreement details the scope of service required of the consultant which
include an extensive analysis of the park site topography, current problems,
preparation of contract documents, development of an installation program and
an estimate of probable cost.
The design and construction documents should be completed by June 1, 1988.
Upon approval from the Engineering Department a bid proposal will be prepared
by the architect. Construction should begin in the early fall.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed fee for the landscape architect is $11,700,
• with this project being approved for this fiscal year.
