BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
On August 16, 2021, City staff advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for professional design services for the proposed El Corazon Park Site 1 Project.
On February 23, 2022, the City Council approved a PSA with Schmidt Design Group, in the amount of $476,360, for the design of the proposed El Corazon Park Site 1 Project.
On January 25, 2023, the City Council approved Amendment 1 to the PSA, in the amount of $25,750, to provide additional public outreach and bilingual translation services.
On June 26, 2024, the City Council approved Amendment 2 to the PSA, in the amount of $81,730, to include preparation of a mass grading plan, complete the design of wet and dry utilities to El Corazon Park Site 1, and provide interim survey services.
On September 11, 2024, the City Council approved Amendment 3 to the PSA, in the amount of $38,650, to prepare construction documents for sports field lighting on the multi-purpose fields and hard courts, as well as security cameras near the restroom facilities.
On April 23, 2025, the City Council approved Amendment 4 to the PSA, in the amount of $113,000, to provide for necessary work for design revisions and optional services such as signage design and value engineering services. At the same meeting, the City Council also approved a purchase order with American Ramp Company in the amount of $1,000,000 for the design-build of the pump track.
Amendment 5 to the PSA addresses preparation of construction documents for sports field lighting at the pump track, including a photometric lighting study to confirm compliance with the El Corazon Specific Plan requirements.
El Corazon Park Site 1 is currently in final design. It is anticipated that the final design of the pump track will be presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission for approval in early 2026, allowing construction of El Corazon Park Site 1, including the pump track, to tentatively start construction in Summer 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT
Amendment 5 to the PSA is in the amount of $7,710. The total cost will be charged to the El Corazon Park Site 1 account 906177722598.5305.10400, which has a current available balance of $757,069; therefore, sufficient funds are available.
