Background:
On September 25, 2008, Staff received approval from the City Council to request bids for a
design/build contract for improvements to Hovely Soccer Park and construction of two
community gardens. The improvements include the addition of three horseshoe pits, two
petanque courts, two pickleball courts, a picnic area, and landscaping. Funding for this

following results:

On December 9, 2008, Staff met with Mr. Stephen Copley to discuss his proposal. Mr.
Copley presented Staff with a design incorporating all of the basic requirements of the
project. Mr. Copley also suggested the addition of the following improvements that would
enhance the project both functionally and aesthetically:
• The addition of a 16-foot steel or cloth shade structure in place of the umbrella type
shade component that was specified.
• The addition of drainage piping to ensure adequate drainage to the retention basin
during rains.
• Increase the strength of the concrete used in the construction of the pickleball
courts to eliminate the possibility of cracking in the future.
• Modify the backboards on the new horseshoe pits to provide greater safety for
users.
• Extend the pitching area of the new horseshoe pits to allow both standard length
and shortened horseshoe competitions.
• The addition of turf and irrigation surrounding the picnic area.
• The addition of curb and gutter with ADA access at 42"d Avenue. This would allow
ADA access to the petanque courts.
• Add an additional ADA accessible barbeque grill to the picnic area
Mr. Copley offered to complete the additional work for the sum of$30,721.00.
Staff is recommending approval of the suggested improvements. These modifications to
the project will enhance the quality of the project and reduce future repairs to concrete and
reduce water erosion due to runoff. ADA accessibility would be improved, and aesthetics
would be enhanced. Cost of the project including the recommended additions total
$175,400.00.

STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Authorize Staff to Request Proposals for Improvements to Hovley
Soccer Park
SUBMITTED BY: Jay Niemczak, Parks Facilities Manager
DATE: September 25, 2008
CONTENTS: Location Diagram
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion: Authorize Staff to request proposals for the design and
construction of park improvements at Hovley Soccer Park.
Discussion:
Staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission has received requests from, and met with
a number of individuafs and groups that have requested the installation of new recreational
courts or the modification of existing courts in the City of Palm Desert.
The Parks and Recreation Commission directed Staff to identify an area that would
accommodate the improvements. At the September 2, 2008, Parks and Recreation
Commission meeting, the Commission approved the location and the following requests
for improvements by a unanimous vote.
Mr. Gerard Canabou, President of the Federation of Petanque, has requested the
installation of petanque courts at the Civic Center Park. Petanque is the French version of
bocce ball and is currently played in the dirt area near the playground at the Civic Center
Park.
Staff has also received requests from the "Snowbird Horseshoe Group" to replace two
existing shuffleboard courts at Hovley Soccer Park with three new horseshoe pits. The
existing shuffleboard courts are not used, and replacing them would provide a total of six
horseshoe pits at Hovley Soccer Park.
It was also recommended that Staff look into constructing new, or modifying existing tennis
court dimensions to allow pickleball to be played at City tennis courts. Pickleball is a
growing sport, and is one of the main events at the International Sports Festival (Senior
Staff Report
Authorize Staff to Request Proposals for Improvements to Hovley Soccer Park
September 25, 2008
Page2of2
Games) which is sponsored by the City. More than 300 participants have taken part in the
festival for the past three years.
In addition to the above-mentioned improvements, the Community Services Department
would like to fund the construction of a community garden in the same location. By
including the community gardens in the request for proposal, Staff expects a substantial
savings in the total project cost.
Staff has identified an area of vacant land located on the south side of Hovley Soccer Park
parking lot (see attached diagram). This area has adequate room to construct all
requested park improvements in the same location.
Staff is requesting authorization to request proposals for the design and construction of
recreational improvements at Hovley Soccer Park. Funds are available for this project in
Parks Capital Improvement Fund 430, and the Community Services Account No. 400-
4546-454-4001.

the work covered in its Proposal when its bid is submitted. This includes a joint venture
formed to submit a bid.

contract, both from his financial standing and by reason of his previous experience as a
contractor on work of the nature contemplated in the contract. The bidder may be
