SUBJECT:
Award of Contract for the Surface Repair and
Waterproofing of Douglas Park Ponds
Introduction
This report recommends that City Council award a contract for the
surface repair and waterproofing of Douglas Park Ponds to Howard
Ridley Company, the lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of
$18,320.00.
Background
The Douglas Park Ponds are located at Douglas Park on Wilshire
Boulevard and Twenty Fifth Street.
Last year all three ponds
were drained in order to conserve water. Now that some of the
drought restrictions have been lifted staff is preparing to
repair and refill the ponds.
It is important to note that the
Parks Division has received numerous requests from park users to
fill the ponds as they were perceived as a significant
enhancement at the park.
When the ponds were drained, extensive cracking was discovered in
the concrete pond beds which will require repair prior to
refilling. The proposed work includes filling or patching cracks
and coating the ponds beds with a waterproof sealant. This will
eliminate water seepage.
A Notice Inviting Bids was published on April 15 and 16, 1992 in
The Outlook, as well as several construction journals.
