TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: TROY L. BUTZLAFF, ICMA-CM, CITY MANAGER
FROM: DANIEL BOBADILLA, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
DATE: JANUARY 5, 2016
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT FOR ZACATECAS PARK
PARKING LOT PROJECT NO. 66116C
SUMMARY:
On September 8, 2015, the City Council approved the plans and specifications for the Zacatecas Park
Parking Lot Project No. 66116C and authorized Staff to solicit bids. This project will convert a portion
of the Department of Public Works’ material/waste yard into a parking lot, yielding 42 much needed
parking spaces for Zacatecas Park. The proposed action will award a contract to CEM Construction as
the lowest and responsible bidder.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1)Award a contract to CEM Construction for the Zacatecas Park Parking Lot Project No.
66116C; and
2)Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, on
behalf of the City.
DISCUSSION:
Zacatecas Park currently does not have sufficient parking spaces to accommodate the high volume of
guests, specifically when Little League is in season or when special events are held at the park. As a
result of the limited parking, vehicles generally spill over into the local residential neighborhoods,
prompting complaints from residents about trash, noise, and limited parking for their own guests.
In an effort to resolve the parking problem, the proposed project will convert a portion of the Public
Works’ material/waste yard, located adjacent to Zacatecas Park, into a parking lot. The proposed project
will yield a total of 42 parking spaces and illuminate the parking lot with six solar-powered LED lights.

Once the project is complete, additional signage will be posted along streets adjacent to and near the
park, directing park users to the new parking lot. In addition, Staff will install one hour limited parking
signs along the north side of Parkside Street. This should reduce the number of vehicles parking in front
of residential areas, which has been a source of concerns for a number of residents in the area.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The contract award amount is $76,197.00, which includes 10% for potential change orders. A portion of
the solar-powered light component in the amount of $24,000.00 will be funded by Azusa Light and
Water Public Benefit Funds, Account #24-40-739-082-6625/MMuniB-6625. The remaining $52,197.00
will be funded by the Public Works Endowment Fund, Account #03800006617120. This project was
originally funded by Measure R, but the scope of work did not qualify for Measure R funds. As a result,
a budget amendment will be processed to defund the Measure R funds and allocate the appropriate
Azusa Light and Water Public Benefit and Public Works Endowment Funds.
