E-1 BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION On December 7, 2011, State Parks notified the City that it was the recipient of the LWCF grant in the amount of $332,588 for the Abalone Cove Park Improvement Project. The LWCF grant is a reimbursement program and has a match requirement of 50%. On February 21, 2012, the City Council adopted a resolution approving a budget appropriation for the Abalone Cove Shoreline Park Improvements Project in the amount of $332,588 to cover the grant's required 50% matching funds. Design of the project included a focus group consisting of representatives from the City Council, neighbors of Abalone Cove, former Public Use Master Plan (PUMP) Committee, Los Serenos de Point Vicente, PVPLC, the Library District, the School District, Terranea, and Park Rangers. Project Description. The Abalone Cove Shoreline Park Improvement project installed picnic tables and benches; a shade structure; trash receptacles; mutt mitt dispensers; park benches; trailheads and trails; picnic areas; interpretive signage along trails; viewing nodes/telescopes; preserve kiosk sign; boulders; landscaping and irrigation; exploration play areas; and bike racks. These park improvements significantly improved access and the educational experience at the park and are consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map designation of Recreation-Passive and the Open Space Recreation (OR) zoning designation. On March 18, 2014 the City Council awarded a contract to Kasa Construction, the low bidder of this project. Due to delays of the Office of the State Department of Parks and Recreation (Office of Historic Preservation) in issuing the required archeological clearance document, work for the project started in June. The project was completed in late September 2014. A reopening ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, October 25th. CONCLUSION Construction of the Abalone Cove Shoreline Park Improvement project is considered a high priority project for the public's benefit as reflected in the Council-adopted Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Kasa Construction Inc.has completed work in accordance with the plans and specifications; therefore, the project needs to be accepted as complete by the City Council and a Notice of Completion should be filed with the County by the City. FISCAL IMPACT Construction Cost The construction cost of this project is $534, 164.50. The total cost of this project, including engineering and construction management, is $647,750.50, which is on budget. The City will be reimbursed for 50% of this total cost through the grant. E-2 Annual Maintenance and Utility Costs The cost for providing landscaping maintenance services and occasional repairs to the decomposed granite (DG) trail surface is estimated to be $50,000 annually. The annual cost of water consumption for irrigation is estimated to be $3,000.
