Recommendation to Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Contract with Redgwick Construction Co. for Chuck Corica Golf Course Parking Lot Improvements, No. PW 02-20-12 in an Amount, Including Contingency, Not to Exceed $406,471.50; OR In The Alternative to Reject All Bids for Chuck Corica Golf Course Parking Lot Improvements, No. PW 02-20-12 and Provide Direction for a Lease Amendment with Greenway Golf for a Rent Reduction and Requirement to Fund and Construct the Chuck Corica Golf Course Parking Lot and Sewer Line. (Public Works 310)
You have two options before you. Regarding the improvement of the parking lot at the temporary golf complex, the city is required to renovate the parking lot for the current lease agreement with Greenway Golf, and we have funds that were allocated to do so last fiscal year. This renovation also includes the striping and improvements for storm drainage and the American Disabilities Act compliance. So the two options before you a one is to execute a contract with Red Hook construction as the lowest responsive bidder for a public bid process in the amount of $368,471.50 plus contingency for a total of just over 406,000. This is within our budget. The second option is to reject all bids and direct staff to negotiate a lease amendment with Greenway Golf. That would include a rent reduction, and in turn, Greenway would be responsible for all costs, financial risks and project management for the parking lot renovation, as well as responsible for installing a required new sewer line that's not currently part of the other project. Greenway Management has requested this expanded scope of work for the parking lot with the higher level of asphalt that would provide a longer, useful life as well as a better surface drainage. Greenway is also proposed to red earth asphalt or turn alternative. That's more environmentally friendly option as it reflects more sunlight than black asphalt and thus reduces the urban heat island effect the ambient temperature. So with that, I'm open. Any questions? And that concludes my report. Thank you. Ms. WOOLDRIDGE Thank you. And let's see that, Madam Clerk, there were, I think she told me there is one submitted is a comment, a written comments. Yes. Yes. Okay. Can you read that or. Yes, I can. All right. Good evening. Honorable bearing city council members and hardworking city staff. My name is Michael Gardiner, and I am here representing the Alameda County Building and Construction Trades Council. I am here to represent the 16,000 men and women of the most highly skilled and highly trained workforce in the construction industry. The diverse workforce from Alameda County, many of whom live in the city of Alameda. They are proud of the work they have done and the work they are going to continue to do in the city and in the county. The jobs have allowed them to live in this county and provide for their families. Oops. Réduit construction. Sorry, it's hard to zoom because it's a picture. Um. It's really hard. Um. Pardon me. Uh. Let's see. Oh, it's just jumping all over the place. Read your construction. Have training agreements with the State of California, DHS, Department of Apprenticeship Standards. These programs are part of the largest privately funded educational system in the U.S.. Individuals enrolled in the many programs that have successfully completed these courses have received the greatest training for construction workers. By completing this program, if individuals have completed, at the minimum, 2500 hours and up to 8000 hours of on the job training and classroom training, this makes them the most productive construction workers. This ensures that the future workforce is trained to build these fine projects. They pride themselves on doing the job right. The first time on time and on budget. By moving forward tonight with regular construction, the City Council will be providing more good job paying jobs with benefits for our members and their families. They were also clear and need to pass for the city of Alameda and the Bay Area to continue adding to the parts needed that make this region one of the most innovative places for ideas on the planet. Thank you. Okay. And that was our only public comment on this item, correct? Yes. Great. Thank you. Okay, so very public comment. We should have staff report, council discussion, comments. Wave at me. Madam Councilor CAFARELLA, I think your hand was upright. Madam Mayor, this has been a long process. I think it started with the past council talking about this parking lot, and I'm satisfied with the policy and willing to move forward . I know that there's additional work that we'll have to do in the future. We're going to have to find those funds, and I'm confident that we'll be able to do that. Okay. So the when you say RFP, I think awarding it and having the next award in the contract to work. All right. We have a motion. Do we have a second? For the second by Councilmember O'Day Council discussion. CNN. Then we have a conservative suggestion that conservative? Yeah. Um, I think there's some good reasons why we might look at the Greenway approach. And mind you, I haven't talked with anyone at Greenway. Okay, so or indirectly. Um, I, I see this. I think there's some logic in terms of coordinating the parking with the, improving the other infrastructure at the same time. Um, but maybe rather than either not going with reg work or, or, and, and not and not going with Greenway, maybe what we ought to do is take a time out and look at the possibilities of how we might do the parking lot in a coordinated fashion. So in other words. Redo the RFP. So are you offering a substitute motion? Councilmember de Saxe. Uh, I am. And uh, of course, you know, there will be the question of from where would the funds come to pay for the sewer, the, the other infrastructure improvements. Right before we could do a discussion. But we we need to see if there's a second to your motion. Okay. So we have a substitute motion on the floor. Do we have a second? Guess not. Okay. So, um, we, we don't have a second for that motion, so it it's off the table. And we go back to the original motion that was made by oh, my goodness, Councilmember Vela, seconded by Councilmember Odie. Okay, it's getting late. Um, any further discussion? Mayor. Councilmember Vela. Yeah. If I can recall back, part of the reason for the timing of doing the parking lot now was some of our previous negotiations and conversations with Greenway about the scheduling of that. And so that's part of our agreement was to complete the repaving of the parking lot by a certain time, which is why we went out to our P, I think there was an attempt to try to coordinate. But, you know, there's additional funds that we need to find and some other things. And I think they want the parking lot repaid. So I'm fine moving forward. I think we have a lot of different infrastructures, infrastructure issues we need to look at all over the city. Okay. Thank you for that. Vice Mayor, does your hand go up or was it just now? Okay. Any further discussion from council? Okay, ma'am, we have a roll call vote count. Uh, no. Next week. I. Photo by. Bella. Hi there. Is the Ashcroft high that carries 4 to 1. All right. Thank you. Okay, Counsel. With that, we have completed the items, the business items that we agreed to complete today. And the items nine and ten will be continued to a special meeting at 701. And there's one other item that we do need to agree to continue, and that is the evaluation of the city attorney. So what I would suggest, if you're amenable, is we have a closed session happening before the special meeting. And I would just add this as a second closed session item. Councilmember Bell is not in her head. Okay. Councilmember Avella, a second ballot. That's in motion. Okay. Well, I. The mayor doesn't usually make motions. Would you like to make it? I'll make a motion that we continue the city attorney's evaluation to the closed. Session. On 45 or whatever it is or whatever time. And Vice Mayor, you had your hand up. I was just going to say at the beginning of the meeting. Thank you. And Councilor Brody, I say your hand up. I was just pointing to Mr. Shadow at his end. Mr. Chan? Yes. Does that work for you? Yes. Madam Chair. Just like the last time when we continued. So we cannot continue into a special meeting because that's a separate closed session. But you can do it. I think. 559 But because that one started so far as the continuation of this special meeting that we're working. Thank you. So what he said as the motion and seconded. Correct. Yeah. Okay. Okay. It's for the discussion. Okay. Maybe we have a counselor. So are we hearing based public comments on item eight still? Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna, um. I just wanted to before we finish our business items, we're, we will hear the city manager communication and then we have some oral communications, and then we're still trying to get out of here before midnight. Yes. Okay. But we need to do a roll call vote. Any further discussion on this item? Madam Clerk, may we have a roll call vote, please? Council members based on. Yes. Odie. Um, not quite. Sorry, I also. Odie. Hi, Bella. Hi. Mayor. As the Ashcraft high, that count carries by five eyes. All right. Thank you. So then we moved to, I don't know, seven city manager communications. Mr. Leavitt. You just have to admit. There we go. Of course, Mayor Ashcraft and City Council. I'm just going to give a brief say Madripoor. And it's actually going to be to address a little bit about the investigation and just to clear clear up or at least try to clarify a couple of things.
