BACKGROUND The 2014 Parks and Recreation Master Plan identified the need for two additional dog parks in Pleasanton. City Staff, led by former Assistant City Manager Steven Bocian, met with community members, reviewed other dog parks within the area, including the dog park at Muirwood Park, and worked through the design process to address community comments. The location for the dog park, close to the trailhead of the Marilyn Murphy Kane Trail, was determined to be the best location for the dog park based on the open area and community input. The Bernal Property Off Leash Dog Park consisted of constructing an approximately 1.5 acre fenced in dog park, expanded parking lot, dog drinking fountains, shade structures, seating, trees with protection fencing, trash receptacles, dog waste stations, dog play equipment, and perimeter landscaping and irrigation. The City hired Tanaka Design Group to prepare conceptual plans, then construction drawings and specifications for the park based on the community input received during the public outreach process. On March 16, 2016, the project was advertised for construction bid. Bids were opened on April 6, 2016. On April 19, 2016, City Council awarded the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Cleary Bros. Landscape, Inc., in the amount of $545,291. Council also authorized the Director of Engineering to approve change orders up to the project contingency amount of $54,709. DISCUSSION Construction of the project is now complete. The total construction contract including change orders was $596,704.01. The change order work consisted of adding temporary irrigation for the landscape planting, additional seating, minor parking lot revisions, additional access gates for maintenance purposes, installing a drainage system so the engineered wood fiber drained more quickly, and revising the shade structure footings to allow removal and replacement without damaging the concrete decking. Other costs of the project included the design of the park, soils testing, advertising /reproduction, dedication plaque /pedestal, weed abatement and additional carpentry work done for the shade structures. The cost of the shade structure work was paid by the City, but the contractor reimbursed the City the cost of $4,140. The total project cost was $617,601 as detailed in Attachment One. Staff recommends the appropriation of $13,461 from the Park Dedication Fee Fund to complete the funding of the project.
