Council approves Palms Park Community Center construction contract
Summary
The council awarded the Palms Park Community Center construction contract to the low bidder, Nazarian Group, and authorized up to $1,150,000 in cumulative change orders and a $155,000 temporary office lease. Staff recommended a ~$900,000 transfer from facility recurring funds to cover the bid gap; the motion passed unanimously.
Public Works Director Kelly Pickler presented the Palms Park Community Center construction contract after a two-step prequalification and bidding process. The scope follows the city's multi-year CIP and includes improvements to a neighborhood park facility.
Staff said the low bid came in about 8% above the engineer's estimate and recommended waiving immaterial bid irregularities, awarding the contract to Nazarian Group, authorizing cumulative change orders not to exceed $1,150,000, and transferring approximately $900,000 from the facility recurring renovation budget to cover the difference. The council voted unanimously to adopt staff recommendations and authorized execution of the contract and a temporary mobile-office lease for staff during construction.
