Prior to this action, the Board received the report of the Efland <br />Cheeks Park Concept Plan Review Committee in December 2003. Efland Cheeks Park is <br />co- located with Efland- Cheeks Elementary School in western Orange County. Funding for <br />Phase II of the park was included in voter- approved the 2001 Parks and Open Space Bond. <br />With the site plan for Phase II of the park approved in March, the pre - construction process <br />may now begin. Because of the small scope of this project, staff has prepared a timetable of <br />activities that lay out the activities needed to construct the pieces of Phase Il. The timetable <br />is shown as Attachment 1. <br />As the first step in the construction process, staff would like to have a lighting plan developed <br />over the summer. This would feature a lighting plan specific to the site, complete with <br />construction documents suitable for bidding the project. <br />Construction schedules for the other two pieces of contracted work, the playground and <br />picnic shelter, would be pursued later in 2004 as lighting installation is concluded. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Cost of preparing a lighting plan are expected to be less than $5,000. <br />The attached timetable would call for a bid award for installation of field /walking track lighting <br />in September. <br />
