Bothman Construction <br />for the Siempre Verde Park Rehabilitation Project and authorize the City Manager to file the <br />Notice of Completion, release the performance and payment bonds, and release the <br />maintenance bond upon successful completion of the one-year maintenance period. <br />BACKGROUND <br />On September 8, 2015, by Resolution No. 2015-161, the City Council awarded the <br />construction contract for the Siempre Verde Park Rehabilitation Project to Robert A. Bothman <br />Construction. The project rebuilt the entire park, which now includes an age 2 to 5 play <br />structure, an age 5 to 12 play structure, a four-user swing set, two picnic areas with barbeque <br />facilities, restroom building, exercise stations, two basketball half-courts, two ping pong tables, <br />a quiet garden for relaxation or Tai Chi, nine bike racks, and a games table area. <br />The project also installed lawn areas for casual outdoor play or picnics, planted approximately <br />eighty trees and hundreds of small plants and shrubs, and constructed accessible pedestrian <br />pathways throughout the park. All lawn, tree selection, and planting complied with <br />Bay-Friendly landscaping guidelines for lower maintenance and drought-resistance. An <br />irrigation well, constructed within the storage area of the restroom building, is used for both <br />irrigation and non-potable uses inside the restroom. The park lighting, including the lights at <br />the restroom, utilize LEDs, which are energy efficient and last a longer time as compared to <br />conventional bulbs. Two bio-retention areas were constructed to treat and clean storm water <br />before it enters the City’s storm drain system. <br />This project was funded with Park Impact Fees collected from new housing developments, <br />Measure HH revenue, and a grant from the State Department of Housing and Community <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 12/21/2016
