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.
