2 <br />• Required Landscaping <br />• Sidewalk required by Hillsborough <br />Payment in Lieu funds of $175,023 are available for use in additional alternates to the project. <br />Should the Board approve the Payment in Lieu funds, Staff recommended alternates are as <br />follows: <br />• Picnic Shelter with Restrooms <br />• Playground <br />• Basketball Court Lighting <br />• Drinking Water line <br />• Site Amenities <br />In addition the County applied for $500,000 in State Park and Recreation Trust Funds (PARTF) <br />grant funds. However, disposition of these funds will not be known until July 24, 2009. <br />Depending upon the actual funding awarded, additional alternates including paved parking and <br />driveway, ball field lighting, and additional site amenities could be installed. These items would <br />not be scheduled for installation until well after the PARTF grant funding occurred. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The 2009/10 CIP allocates $925,000 for this project including the 2001 <br />voter approved bonds of $850,000 for development of Fairview Community Park. As outlined <br />above sufficient funding is available in the budget to fund $588,500 in construction costs to <br />include adequate contingency funds. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: <br />• Award a bid and approve a contract to McQueen Construction in an amount not to <br />exceed $588,500 for construction of the Fairview Community Park, contingent <br />upon County Attorney review; and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the <br />Board; <br />• Approve the $175,023 payment-in-lieu funds from the Cheeks/Hillsborough District <br />to allow for additional alternates as described; <br />• the Board authorize any PARTF funding that may be received for remaining bid <br />alternates; and <br />• Authorize the Manager or Interim Manager to sign change orders to the extent of <br />the Project Budget. <br />
