STAFF REPORT
I

Authorize Staff to Proceed with the Bidding Process
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., Director of Public Works
DATE: September 24, 2009
CONTENTS: Vicinity Map
RECOMMENDATION:
By Minute Motion:
1. Approve the Civic Center Parkway Turf Retrofit Project, and
2. Authorize staff to proceed with the bidding process.
Capital Project Reserve Funds are available in Account No. 400-4614-433-4001.
DISCUSSION:
This project will replace the existing turf in the Civic Center parkway areas along Fred
Waring Drive and San Pablo Avenue with desert landscaping and drip irrigation. The
purpose of this conversion is to eliminate irrigation water runoff and conserve water on
both streets. Public Works staff has redesigned the project and will complete the plans
and specifications in-house. The desert landscape will be complementary to the
adjacent, established desert landscaping and the existing palm trees will be left in place.
Staff has estimated the cost of the project to be $130,300. After the bid process is
completed, the project will be presented to City Council for award.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are available in the Capital Project Reserve Fund Account No. 400-4614-433-
4001. Other than the initial installation cost, the City of Palm Desert should see a
reduction in landscape and roadway maintenance and water costs.
