Summary

The City of Fort Bragg was awarded a Housing Related Parks (HRP) grant from the State Department of Housing and Community Development in the amount of $98,550. A portion of the funding was allocated for preparation of an Athletic Fields Master Plan and preparation of a Master Plan for Phase 3 of the C.V. Starr Community Center. The City distributed a Request for Proposals for preparation of the master plans and received two proposals. The proposal from Glass Architects included preparation of both master plans within the funding amount allocated in the grant. Glass Architects has extensive experience with the C.V. Starr Center as they were the designer of the original building.  Subcontractor, Verde Design, has extensive specialized athletic field design experience. The grant funding will be allocated $56,010 towards the Athletic Fields and $42,500 towards the C.V. Starr Center consistent with the City Council's January 13, 2014 direction to staff. All of the grant funds will be utilized for design and master planning and none of the funds will be available for construction of actual improvements. However, the Council has identified the Athletic Fields enhancement project as a "supplemental activity" for funding in conjunction with the City's 2014 CDBG grant. Securing the services of Glass Architects and Verde Design will ensure provision of qualified services for a reasonable cost to benefit the City of Fort Bragg, the Fort Bragg Unified School District, and the Mendocino Coast Recreation and Park District.
