Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Department of Youth, Parks, & Community Enrichment is seeking approval to award a contract to Soracco, Inc. for the McClatchy Park Ballfield Renovations project.
McClatchy Park Ballfield Renovations project consists of clearing and grubbing, grading and drainage, concrete walkways, renovation of two baseball field backstops, player’s areas and infields, chain link fencing and chain link fabric replacement, accessible walkway, concrete flatwork, irrigation modifications, landscaping, parking lot striping, electrical, signage, four bullpens, two batting cages, scoreboard, public address system, four shade structures over the dug outs, bleachers, and site furniture.
Construction of the McClatchy Park Ballfield Renovations project is expected to be completed by March 2019.
McClatchy Park is a 15.2-acre community park located at 3500 5th Avenue, in Council District 5.
Policy Considerations: City Code Chapter 3.60 provides that City Council approval is required to enter into construction agreements over $100,000.
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.
Economic Impacts: The indicated economic impacts are estimates 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 impacts 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 $813,114 is expected to create 3.25 jobs (1.87 direct jobs and 1.38 indirect jobs through indirect and induced activities). Furthermore, it will create $502,045 in total economic output ($316,443 of direct output and $185,602 of output through indirect and induced activities).
Environmental Considerations: The proposed project has been determined to be exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15303 (New Construction Small Structures) 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land) and 15311 (Accessory Structures). There was an evaluation of the Park using the State Historic Resources Inventory (DPR) Form, that deemed the Park site eligible for the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources (Sacramento Register), but no formal action has been taken for listing on the Sacramento Register. The eligibility was based upon the park site and not on the elements or physical features of the park. As a result, the proposed ballfield renovations would not affect the historical integrity of the park or its potential eligibility for listing in the Sacramento Register. A Notice of Exemption was filed with the County of Sacramento Clerk Recorder on July 30, 2018. No environmental review is required under CEQA.
Sustainability: The park improvements are consistent with sustainable design through the use of recycled materials and local suppliers.
Commission/Committee Action: None

The Engineer’s Estimate for the base bid was $715,125 and $163,670 for all the additive alternates, for a total amount of $878,795. *Schreder & Brandt’s bid was considered non-responsive, their bid proposal was missing pages 2 and 3, and their bid grand total was left blank.
The low bidder was determined on the base bid plus all additive alternates.
Pursuant to City Code Sections 3.60.020 and 3.60.360 E, it was determined that Soracco, Inc. offered the lowest responsive bid and is a responsible bidder. The contract award is for the base bid only in the amount of $813,114.
Financial Considerations: The construction contract is only for the base bid work for $813,114. There is sufficient funding in the McClatchy Park Ballfield Renovations project (L19136200) to award the contract.
This is an existing park; the annual maintenance and utilities costs are covered in the
Department of Youth, Parks, & Community Enrichment’s operating budget for maintenance, water, and utility costs.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Soracco, Inc. exceeded the 5% LBE participation requirement.
