SUMMARY
The proposed City Council action will approve the plans and specifications, and authorize Staff

BACKGROUND:
Bluebell Park is l-~-acre park originally designed as an active sports park surrounded by a chain
link fence. It is located on Almond Avenue between Aster and Bluebell Streets. Currently it
accommodates a %-acre open play area, a wooden shade structure, and.a full court basketball
area. The park previously contained aged playground equipment, which was removed from the
park in the late 1990's. Bluebell Park, in the past, was utilized as a practice field by nearby
football, baseball, soccer and other organized sports groups, as well as passive neighborhood
users.
At the July 24, 2006 meeting, City Council approved a conceptual plan to move the playground
equipment to the back of the park, replace the fencing with a lower fence, save the trees (after
analysis by an Arborist), and plant the front area with sod. Construction Documents were
completed by the City's Landscape and Park Consultant David Votz Design (DVD).
Construction is anticipated to begin this spring.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $190,000 are currently available for design, construction, and
construction management in fiscal year 200612007 from State Proposition 40 Grant Funds.
Approximately 10% of the budget has been spent on design fees.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the plans and specifications and authorize Staff
to initiate the bidding process for the Bluebell Park Improvements, Project No. 50206.
