COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION
MEETING DATE:
ITEM TITLE:
March 8, 2004
La Quinta Park Interactive Water Feature
RECOMMENDATION:
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
As deemed appropriate by the Community Services Commissions.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Dependent upon the Commission's recommendations, this project could be funded
by Proposition 40 funds. Actual funding for this project has not been allocated by
the City Council as of this report.
WORK PLAN TASK ASSIGNMENT:
Park Development
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
At the November 4, 2003 City Council meeting, the City Council approved a
Professional Services Agreement with David Volz Designs to design an interactive
water feature and then act as a construction manager for the installation of the
project.
Staff met with Mr. Volz of David Volz Design (DVD) on Friday, November 7, 2003 to
discuss the project and to begin work on the project.

0 4k
At the November 4, 2003 City Council meeting, the City Council approved a re-
circulating system for the interactive water feature in order to conserve water.
At the January 12, 2004 Community Services Commission meeting, the Commission
reviewed the design as presented by Elaine Dove of David Volz Design. The
Commission recommended that the design include as many water elements as allowed
by the budget. Ms. Dove redesigned the water feature with an updated budget. At the
January 12 meeting, the proposed budget for the project was approximately $125,000
with a contingency. After the January 12 meeting, the proposed budget had escalated
to $175,000.
Staff met with Ms. Dove on February 2, 2004 to discuss the project and it appears
that several installation costs had been included in the proposal twice. Ms. Dove
confirmed the cost of the equipment and installation and provided a revised proposal.
Staff provided the revised proposal at the February 9 meeting. The total estimated
cost of the project is $140,795. The proposal includes approximately $30,000 of
interactive water amenities, as provided in Attachment A. Attachment B is a current
Raindrop catalog of amenities. Commissioners may wish to visit the Raindrop website
at: www.rain-droocom where the amenities are animated.
A preliminary proposal was received from Vortex, a company that provides interactive
water features. The proposed cost of the Vortex system was comparable to the
Raindrop proposal.
Due to the Commission's concern of the rising cost of the project, staff has not
forwarded the Commission's recommendation for consideration. It is anticipated that
the Commission's recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council at the March
16, 2004 City Council meeting.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Community Services Commission include:
1. Provide a recommendation for City Council consideration regarding the
amenities for the interactive water feature at the La Quinta Park; or
2. Do not direct provide a recommendation for City Council consideration; or
3. Provide staff with alternative direction.
Respectfully submitted,
Dodie Horvitz, Community Services Director

The estimate does not include permits or fees. DVD has prepared this
construction budget estimate on the basis of its best professional judgment
and experience with the construction industry.
If the owner wishes greater assurance as to the construction cost, he shall
employ an independent cost estimator. This estimate is based on the
attached Preliminary Layout Concept only and is for preliminary purposes
only.
The estimate represents assumptions and opinions of the construction
market and contractor's methods of determining actual construction costs
over which DVD has no control.

ict: RE: La Quinta Community Park
ie,
d to hear that the project is back on track. flere's the info on the Giant Circle — I don't think it's actually
Clog, but it would be the same as the Circle Time CIRT-001 except a bigger diameter:
it circle like all our ground spray features are adjustable in the height the client wants the water to "climb". This is c
g the valving that is incorporated in every supply line for every feature. We adjust the "height" based on the age gn
3yground and the "effect' wanted. With younger children (2 -5) we keep the "height' at the lower recommended lev
der power them with too much spray. The "area of influence" is simply the area that the water will splash, spray or I
itilized in design to make sure that the water is kept within the area required. It also helps in choreographing the fe;
i ones will be on at the same time to try to eliminate over lap. The optimum flow rating for the Giant Circle is 150 G
to size our pump.
id I tell you that the Palm Tree has been redesigned? This is the info I got from Ron George:
m Tree was 16 ft in overall height. It is being changed. The reason is that the water coming out of the "dumping co,
y around one quart and although aesthetically pleasing it did not crate enough excitement for the children. We then
vered the overall height to 12 feet, kept the coconuts , but installed random sprays in the area where the fronds an
s are hung, that spray down on the children creating more effective water activity.
