ITEM TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE
EXPENDITURE OF FORMER REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY BOND PROCEEDS FOR SILVERROCK GOLF
COURSE RESTORATION PROJECT
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR: 3
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution to approve expenditure of former Redevelopment Agency bond
proceeds for the SilverRock Golf Course Restoration project and make certain findings
pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33445(a).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) is currently constructing a parallel
canal through the Palmer Course at SilverRock Resort in order to restore the
design capacity to the canal.
The City must pay for the reconstruction of the golf holes impacted by CVWD’s
project once the work is completed in early September 2014.
Arnold Palmer Design Company (APDC) prepared plans for the restoration of the
affected golf holes, which were approved for advertisement for construction bids
on June 17, 2014.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The following is the anticipated budget. Proceeds from the former Redevelopment
Agency bonds will be used to fund these improvements.
BUDGET LINE ITEM BUDGET
Phase II Construction - Golf $ 1,852,000
Restoration:
Professional: $ 10,000
Technical (Insp/Test/Survey): $ 30,000
Contingency: $ 185,200
TOTAL BUDGET: $ 2,077,200
The construction allocation for restoration of the five holes impacted by canal relocation
project is $1,852,000. Of this amount, approximately $140,000 has been set aside for
the City to pre-purchase the new golf course turf.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
In May of 2014, CVWD began constructing 4,700 linear feet of new canal within the
United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBOR) easement that cuts through the back
nine holes of SilverRock Resort. This new canal is necessary in order to restore the
design capacity of the canal that has been compromised due to differential settlement of
the canal since its construction in the 1940’s.
In order to accommodate this work, the City was required to relocate the golf course
irrigation system out of the new canal alignment last summer (Phase I) so the new canal
could be constructed this summer. CVWD’s contractor is on schedule to complete the
new canal including abandoning and backfilling the old canal no later than September 1,
2014. Approval of the award of contract will allow the City’s contractor to restore the
area from the old canal so it can be incorporated into the Palmer Course (Phase II) in
time for the reopening of the course in early November 2014.
In February 2014, the City hired APDC to redesign the five golf holes that will be
affected by CVWD’s parallel canal project. This was necessary in order to maintain the
branding of the City’s golf course as an Arnold Palmer Signature Course. At the
request of the City’s golf course operator, APDC also included redesign of the large
th
bunker adjacent to the 10 green to save the cost of replacement sand that is routinely
lost during wind storms. This work was bid as an alternate; therefore, there is no
requirement to include it in the award of contract.
On April 16, 2002, the City Council adopted a resolution making findings pursuant to
Health and Safety Code Section 33445 to approve the use of funds from the sale of
bond proceeds issued by the Redevelopment Agency to purchase the SilverRock
Resort project site. The City Council found that entering into the Option Agreement to
acquire the SilverRock Resort site would be of benefit to the Project Area and to the
immediate neighborhood. Further, that the purchase of the site would assist in the
elimination of one or more blighting conditions inside the project area, including the lack
of recreation facilities and opportunities, and was consistent with the implementation
plan adopted at that time pursuant to Section 33490.
Contingent upon City Council’s approval to award a contract on July 15, 2014, the
following is the anticipated project schedule:
City Council Considers Award July 15, 2014
ConstructionAugust through September 2014
Overseeding of Palmer Course October 2014
Accept Improvements and Reopen Course November 2014
ALTERNATIVES:
Assuming the lowest bid is within 10 percent of the estimated construction cost, no
other alternative is recommended if the City intends to reopen the Palmer Course in
early November 2014.
