Consideration of Awarding a Contract
to Construct Project 98-05, City Entrance
Monuments
As deemed appropriate by the City Council.
Considering the low bid submitted by Jacobsson Engineering Construction, Inc. (JEC),
the table below represents a revised project budget. Option 1 is construction of the
City Entrance Monuments without the Add Alternates included; Option 2 is
construction of the City Entrance Monuments including the two Add Alternates of
installation of water feature and installation of landscape lighting; and Option 3 is
construction of the City Entrance Monuments including the four Add Alternates of
traffic signal modifications, electrical transformer relocation, installation of water
feature, and installation of landscape lighting.

Additional supplemental funding requested $244,052 $293,113 $381,496
As previously referenced in the staff report of September 15, 1998, the Engineer's
estimate of probable construction costs was $226,000. The approved Fiscal Year
1997/98 CIP budget identified $45,000 from the General Fund for this project. Of
this amount, $14,764 remains available after design costs and prototype
preparations. This project does not qualify for Infrastructure Funding as it was not
previously identified as a qualifying project. Other possible funding sources to
supplement existing funding may include the Arts in Public Places Account #701-000-
255-210, which has a balance of $490,742 after all encumbrances; the General Fund
Reserve Account #101-000-300-290; or a General Fund loan to the Redevelopment
Agency paid for from the General Fund Reserve Account.
Funding for this project utilizing APP Funds has not been brought forth to the Cultural
Arts Commission. If APP Funds were utilized for this project, projects listed in the
Cultural Arts Commission Work Plan may be affected.
If funding for this project is paid for by a loan from the General Fund to the RDA, then
the City Council may award the contract today from the General Fund Reserve
Account, and the issue of the loan to the RDA will be scheduled for the next RDA
Meeting.
On July 7, 1998, staff brought forth a study session item regarding construction
details of the entrance monuments. The City Council directed staff to install two (2)
full scale sign "mockups" at designated locations to determine the desired scale of the
Entrance Monuments.
On August 18, 1998, the City Council directed staff to design the Entrance
Monuments at both of the designated locations with the approximate dimensions of
9'-0" high by 29'-0" long.
TAMDEMCOUNCIL\1999\990518k - 1.wpd
On September 15, 1998, the City Council approved the Plans, Specifications, and
Estimate (PS&E) package and authorized staff to proceed with advertising for bids
upon final review by Caltrans. Staff has not received final comments on the project
or the final approved encroachment permit from Caltrans. The possibility exists that
changes requested by Caltrans may require additional changes to the contract. Any
change orders required will be subject to the City's change order policy.
During the City Council Meeting of April 6, 1999, the City Council rejected the single
bid received (Brandt Development Ltd., $426,265) and directed staff to restructure
the bid documents to provide additional options and rebid the project. Staff
restructured the bid documents to provide a base bid at each site. Site 1 was
designated as Jefferson Street and Highway 111, and Site 2 was designated as
Highway 111 and Plaza La Quinta Entrance. Both sites had identical base bid items:
mobilization, clearing and grubbing, grading, concrete monument sign with the rock
feature, landscaping and one-year site maintenance. The bid documents were then
broken down on a site basis to include four Add Alternates as follows:
Traffic Signal Modifications - Site 1 only (this item requires the relocation of the
existing signal controller cabinet)
Electrical Transformer Relocation - Site 1 only
Installation of Water Feature - this add alternate is the same for site 1 and site
2 (this item includes the waterfall, pond and recirculating pump and piping)
Installation of Landscape Lighting - this add alternate is the same for site 1 and
site 2
On Friday, May 7, 1999, three bids were received for construction of the project.
The bidders and respective bid are as follows:

The Add Alternates of installation of the water feature and installation of the
landscape lighting should be completed at the time the Entrance Monuments'
installation. The Add Alternates of traffic signal modifications and electrical
transformer relocation may not be necessary to the project (both of these Add
Alternates are for Site 1, Jefferson Street and Highway 111). If the City Council
chooses, the Add Alternates of traffic signal modifications and electrical transformer
relocation can be evaluated once the monuments are in place to determine if the
traffic signal and electrical transformer box are sight hindrances to the project. Should
it be determined that these items pose a significant sight hindrance to the project,
staff, at City Council's direction, could seek competitive bids to relocate those items.
Due to the nature of these two Add Alternates, the costs should be approximately the
same whether they are completed now or once the monuments are in place. The bids
for these two Add Alternates are as follows:

The utilization of APP Funds for this project has not been brought forth to the Cultural
Arts Commission for review. If APP Funds were utilized for this project, projects listed
in the Cultural Arts Commission Work Plan may be affected. If the total costs for the
project were paid for utilizing APP Funds, there would be $109,246 remaining in the
APP Account.
TAMDEMCOUNCIL\1999\990519k - 1.wpd
If the City Council chooses to pay for the project by a loan from the General Fund to
the RDA, then contract may be awarded today from the General Fund Reserve
Account, and the issue of the loan to the RDA will be scheduled for the next RDA
Meeting.

1. Authorize an appropriation in the amount of $381,496 of supplemental funding
from the Arts in Public Places Account, the General Fund Reserve Account, a
General Fund loan to the RDA, or any combination thereof; and, award a

Dear Kathryn Hull, Chairperson:

(TDD) (760) 777-1227
On behalf of the City of La Quinta Community Services Department and the Community Services
Commission, thank you for playing an important part in our celebrated "Community Picnic." As
a result of your support, your time and your commitment, our second annual event was a huge
hit and enjoyed by everyone. You made this event successful by giving something back to the
community, being unselfish and putting forward a friendly smile. Take a bow. Your hard work
has paid off!
We are grateful to have people like you, representing the I.a Quinta Community. Our city is growing
and we are quite confident that La Quinta is one of the best cities around. Thank you for your
support in the effort to bring everyone together at the Community Picnic. We wish you much
success and hope you will continue to work with us in the future.
We couldn't have done it without you!
With sincere gratitude.

To My Fellow Commissioners:
I've decided not to reapply for a seat on the Commission this year.
May the community come forth with great new applicants and may the
City Council have the wisdom to select them. I`ll be thinking of all of you
and sending you positive thoughts for a better, more productive working
relationship with the City Council.
I contacted the City of San Diego and they were happy to
share their artist data base with us. You now have many, many artists
to choose from. I'm sure there are other cities who are willing to share
their artist databanks as well. I did notice that a few of the artists we
are familiar with are also on San Diego's list, for example, John Kennedy
and Louis DeMartino.
The main database from San Diego has been loaded into Microsoft
Access on Crystal's computer. Another list of artists who've done
commission work for the City and whose art work is featured in the
attached brochure from San Diego is available on a disc in a standard
word processing format (Word Perfect, I believe). This disc is in Crystal's
keeping.
Again, I wish the Commission the very best in all its endeavors to
keep a cultural and artistic vision of La Quinta alive.
Sincerely,
�jGt�c�. lC�eF
