PolicyConsiderations
Policy Considerations: City Code Chapter 3.60 provides that City Council approval is required to enter into construction agreements over $250,000. Providing parks and recreation facilities is consistent with the City’s strategic plan to enhance livability in Sacramento’s neighborhoods by expanding park, recreation, and trail facilities throughout the City.
End
EconomicImpacts
Economic Impacts: The indicated economic impacts are estimates and calculated using a calculation tool developed by the Center for Strategic Economic Research (CSER). CSER utilized the IMPLAN input-output model (2009 coefficients) to quantify the economic impacts of a hypothetical $1 million of spending in various construction categories within the City of Sacramento in an average one-year period. Actual impact could differ significantly from the estimates and neither the City of Sacramento nor CSER shall be held responsible for consequences resulting from such differences.
The park construction project in the amount of $746,720 is expected to create 3.03 jobs (1.74 direct jobs and 1.29 indirect jobs through indirect and induced activities). Furthermore, it will create $467,225 in total economic output ($294,496 of direct output and $172,729 of output through indirect and induced activities).
End
EnvironmentalConsiderations
Environmental Considerations: The project has been determined to be categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15301 & 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines, as the project consists of the operations, repairs and minor alterations of existing public facilities, mechanical equipment and topographic features (City Park) and installation of new small structures.
End
Sustainability
Sustainability: The purchase of supplies and installation of materials under this contract meets the City of Sacramento’s Sustainability goals by improving and optimizing this park. The installation of this equipment at NNRP will advance the goals, policies, and targets by improving the health of all residents through access to a diverse mix of wellness activities.
