CONTENTS: Vicinity Map
Recommendation:
By minute motion, authorize the City Clerk to advertise and call for
bids for the construction of the Corporation Yard Expansion (Project
715-00).
Discussion:
On July 19, 2001, City Council approved Contract No. C19250, between David
Evans and Associates and the City of Palm Desert, for design engineering
relating to the Corporation Yard Expansion. These plans are now complete and
staff is ready to move forward with construction.
The planned expansion of the Corporation Yard will encompass approximately
3.3 acres and consists of the following proposed improvements:
• Building (14,000 sq. ft.)
• Mezzanine (4,650 sq. ft.)
• Total floor area of 18,650 sq. ft., (existing Corporation Yard building is
6,000 sq. ft.)
• Concrete material storage area (20' x 100')
• Debris transfer station (100' x 100')
• Vehicle washout facility (60' x 40')
• Covered shade structures for vehicles and equipment
• CNG refueling station

With the design now complete, we are in a position to advertise and call for bids
for the construction phase of the project. The project budget was established in
2001 and includes $2.65 million for construction. However, due to the volatile
construction market for both materials and labor, there has been a substantial
increase in costs over the last several months. The engineer's current estimate
of the cost for the construction is $3.6 million. Once the lowest responsible bid
has been received, funds can be reallocated from the appropriate accounts to
shore up the funding for this project, if necessary.
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Clerk to
advertise and call for bids for the construction of the Corporation Yard Expansion
(Project 715-00).
