Analysis:
In 2005, the City completed the South Beach Phase II Renovation Project. The project
included new restroom buildings, improvements to the Sunset Vista RV area, the New
Marine Safety Education Center (Jr. Guard Building,) and a new Marine Safety Headquarters
building. Due to issues with the architectural drawings, the project was subjected to
significant delays and unanticipated costs. Inconsistencies in the construction plans resulted
in numerous requests for clarification, which entitled the general contractor constructing the
improvements to receive compensation for delay claims per the conditions of the construction
contract. As part of a settlement with the lead architecture firm, the city has received a total
of $50,000 to off -set the delay fees that were paid to the general contractor. The funds were
deposited into the Park Acquisition and Development Fund 209 until a project could be
identified.
Staff is seeking Council approval to appropriate the funds for new guard railing along the
beach bluff north of Goldenwest Street. The cost of the railing and installation is $25,000.
Remaining funds will be used to fund other miscellaneous beach related improvements.
