I -, INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM CITY OF PALM DESERT TO: PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: RICHARD J. FOLKERS, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER/PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR SUBJECT: STATUS OF THE SAN PASCUAL PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE DATE: JUNE 6, 1995 This project has been delayed for a long period of time because of funding problems . Finally it was determined that park funds rather than grant funds would be used to proceed with the bridge. As we proceeded with the project parameters problems arose with the grade differentials in the channel at the original location opposite Krug Avenue. The staff then selected Manny Sanchez as the engineering consultant to prepare the necessary design, and he is working with Brian Gottlieb who is working as a consultant on the foundations for the design. Unfortunately, the design process has taken considerably longer than anticipated. On May 11, 1995, the City Council awarded a contract to Continental Bridge for the structure on for $12, 162 .00, and the delivery date for the bridge is expected to take place near the end of July. At the present time, the contract is out for the foundation work, sidewalks, electrical and other miscellaneous items . The bid opening is scheduled for early July and award of a contract will be placed on the agenda for the Redevelopment Agency's review and approval on Thursday, July 13. It is expected that this work should be completed by September 1. RI CHARD J.,'iOLKERS, P.E. RJF/ms cc: Ray Diaz Gregg Holtz Rudy Acosta May 15, 1995 Mr. Van Tanner City of Palm Desert Dear Mr, Tanner: I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you. My name is Jerome Diop, a resident of Palm Desert and the Manager/Coach of the Arsenal Soccer Club of Palm Desert. We are a local team and have been playing for the Palm Springs Soccer League for the past eight (8) years. We consist of dedicated soccer players and we are the only team in Coachella Valley which are made up of International players. We have players from Europe, South America, Mexico and the United States. All other teams in the valley consists of Mexican players only. I understand there is a new field being built in Palm Desert. We are very interested in using the field for practice and hopefully for games in the future. We are interested in using the field for practice only at this time...we are presently using the field at the Palm Desert High School. We practice twice per week, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. We, of course, are prepared to pay for the lighting in the new facility just as we do at the High School. We do sincerely hope that in the very near future, we could start having ouur games here in Palm Desert. Perhaps we could start a Palm Desert Soccer League. This will mean extra revenue for the City of Palm Desert since we are finding that the interest for soccer has escalated since the World Cup of 1994 was held in the United States. We know that many families enjoy spending their Sundays at the Soccer Games. Arsenal Soccer Club Page two We are really looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. I would be more than happy to meet with you in person for further discussion of this matter. In the meantime, should you have any immediate questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (619)340-3874. Thank you very much for your consideration and I look forward to meeting you soon. Very truly yours, Jerome Diop Manager/Coach Arsenal Soccer Club 72450 Manzanita Drive Palm Desert, CA 92260-2767 .rop)pil 14400 2212 DUPONT DRIVE, SUITE U IRVINE, CALIFORNIA 92715 SHADE TEL: 714/250-9520 CONCEPTS FAX: 714/757-0759 • June 12, 1995 Ray Diaz City of Palm Desert 73-510 Fred Waring Drive Palm Desert, CA 92260 Dear Mr. Diaz, We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued interest in installing our shade structures at your recently developed baseball facility in Palm Desert. Pursuant to our recent conversation with Rudy Acosta,project coordinator, he requested additional information regarding the strength, durability and engineering specifications of our product. Structure- We use a 2 7/8" galvanized powder coated steel framework with 2 3/8" ridge posts. These structures are completely pre-engineered and approved to withstand 85 mile per hour wind loads. Our structures are extremely durable, strong and always firmly attached to a concrete surface or footing(we have included a sample of our engineering drawings for your review). Material- Our material is a revolutionary, double monofilament knitted material which actually blocks our 91% of harmful UV(ultra violet)rays and has a bursting strength of 240 pounds per square inch. Our shade material provides a shade factor of up to 83% and allows trapped hot air to be released. Our product is mildew and rot resistant which is also extremely easy to maintain and is maintenance free,just hose with water to clean. As you know, the public is increasingly conscious about the harmful effects of the sun. In our recent visit to the subject facility, it was apparent that spectators desire a shaded area to observe the baseball activities. We feel our pre-engineered structures provide an aesthetically pleasing, cost effective method of providing shade for the city of Palm Desert at this site. The ownership of Shade Concepts realizes the tremendous importance of customer satisfaction. Please feel free to contact us should you have any additional questions regarding our product or if you would like us to furnish you with a list of our clients.
