- 7.7: Construction contract with David Olis Landscape Development Inc., $381,000, for the City Hall veterans memorial improvements (Capital Improvement Project). Council discussion clarified the staff estimate listed a total project cost of about $505,000, which included an $85,000 city portion for construction support (construction inspection, staff time) and a contractor amount of $381,000. Staff said construction will begin in January with completion around March; the contract identifies 15 days for mobilization and 75 working days for construction. The item passed on the consent calendar.
- 7.9: Construction contract with My Con Construction Inc., for Victoria Park splash pad (amount discussed as just under $1 million). Staff said the project is planned to open by next spring so it would be ready for the typical splash-pad season. The item passed on the consent calendar.
- 7.11: Construction contract (South Mall parking lot at Main and 6th Street) with contractor (name in packet); staff indicated a January start and hoped for substantial completion in March (105 working days with mobilization). The item passed on the consent calendar.
- 7.15: Construction contract with Resource Environmental Inc., $1,500,000, for demolition of the former police department building (Capital Improvement Project FC2023-09). Staff said fiber-optics coordination had delayed the project and that work was planned to start in January with completion before the summer concert series. The item passed on the consent calendar.
- 9.2 / Ordinance 3406: First reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 16.21 of the Corona Municipal Code to update the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TEMP) program and adopting a TEMP schedule prepared by the Western Riverside Council of Governments. Staff opened a public hearing; no public speakers or correspondence were received for the item. The ordinance was introduced by title for first reading and the motion was approved.
Several items were pulled from the consent calendar for council questions; after staff responses the council returned the items to the consent vote. No additional public testimony was received on the pulled items. The council recorded approvals on the consent calendar items and proceeded with the TEMP ordinance introduction.
Each contract includes standard construction contingencies and typical construction-support percentages; staff identified the city construction-support portion as separate from the contractor bid amount on the veterans memorial project. Councilmembers repeatedly asked for start and completion timelines for the projects; staff repeatedly answered they expect January starts and hoped for March completions on several contracts.
