BOX 1009 THERMAL, CA 92274-1009 DATE: NOVEMBER 10, 2005 CONTENTS: PROPOSAL Recommendation: By Minute Motion, that the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency authorize staff to enter into contract with Emery Landclearing and Grading for the purposes of a pool demolition on Hermosa Avenue located at Laguna Palms Apartments in the amount of $10,880, plus a not to exceed amount of $2,500 for unforeseen conditions as a part of the demolition (Contract No. R24530) Executive Summary: Staff is recommending the complete demolition of the easterly pool at Laguna Palms Apartments for a future child play area. This will also provide valuable information as to what materials were used during the pool's original construction that can and will be used to determine the best way to renovate the west pool during the projects renovation. Discussion: In 2004, during discussions regarding the renovations of the overall Laguna Palms project, it was determined that the condition of the east pool was such that major deterioration had occurred and it would be difficult to renovate. Suggestions were made on the annual housing tour to demolish the east pool and create a children's play area for the complex. G'aDA\Patty Leon',WpdocsUNC.11staff repori�L.aguna Palms Pool Demo wpd STAFF REPORT CONTRACT WITH EMERY LANDCLEARING AND GRADING NOVEMBER 10, 2005 PAGE 2 The west pool appears to be in better condition but will be renovated as a part of the overall project. Once demolished, the pool area will be used for a staging location for the project renovation which is why staff is suggesting we do this now. It will also provide us with the exact materials used for the pool's original construction giving us insight to the west pool's construction and to what extent we will need to renovate it. The demolition will include removing and disposing of the all of the pools components, the decking, the planters, the re -bar, and the conduits. The area will be backfilled with dirt at a compaction rate of 85%; a compaction report will be required. The project manager requested three proposals from demolition contractors and received two with the third stating they were too busy to bid the project. The proposals ranged from $34,371 to the low bid of $10,880, plus a not to exceed amount of $2,500 for unforeseen conditions as a part of the demolition. Staff is recommending approval of the lowest proposal from Emery Landclearing in the amount of $10,880, plus a not to exceed amount of $2,500 for unforeseen conditions as a part of the demolition.
