Council approves senior‑center flooring, storm‑drain design, waste‑disposal extension and senior outreach pilot
Summary
Buena Park approved multiple contract awards and amendments: senior center flooring ($197,002 to ProSpectra Contract Flooring), Knott Avenue storm drain design ($89,995 to BKF Engineers), a one‑year amendment to the County waste disposal agreement (2.6% increase through 6/30/2026), and a $16,300 pilot for senior outreach programs.
At its May 20 meeting the Buena Park City Council approved several procurement and program items grouped under new business and study session agenda items.
Key approvals: • Senior center flooring (Item 5b): Staff reported five bids; ProSpectra Contract Flooring was the lowest responsive bidder at $197,002. Council awarded the contract unanimously. • Knott Avenue storm drain design (Item 5c): After receiving nine proposals, BKF Engineers was selected for design services at $89,995 to address chronic ponding at Knott/Orange Slope intersections; council approved the agreement unanimously. • Waste Disposal Agreement Amendment No. 2 (Item 5d): Public Works Manager Joe Hunt presented a one‑year extension of the County of Orange waste disposal agreement through June 30, 2026, with a 2.6% disposal fee increase consistent with the contract’s escalation clause; council approved the amendment unanimously while staff said a county‑wide negotiating committee is working on a proposed successor 'Wise Agreement' that had earlier suggested a much larger (≈92%) increase in draft form for later years. • Senior services outreach pilot (Study Session 9c): Staff proposed a $16,300 budget to pilot satellite senior programs (walking clubs, outdoor fitness, pickleball and workshops) in neighborhoods and mobile‑home communities; council supported a targeted pilot and directed staff to report participation metrics and next steps.
What happens next: staff will proceed with contract administration for the awarded projects, monitor the County waste negotiations and implement the senior outreach pilot with outreach and reporting back to council.
