CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF April 17, 2001 TO: Honorable City Council APPROVAL: Henry Garcia Ci hManager FROM: Ronald C. Kenny, Director of Parks, Recreation & Family Services Carolyn Jones, Childcare Manager G3. SUBJECT: Approve Request to Competitively Bid for Construction of a Childcare Replacement Facility at Reche Canyon Elementary School DATE: April 9, 2001 BACKGROUND: In 1999, the Colton Community Childcare was awarded CDBG funds totaling $130,000. The funds were earmarked for the purchase and installation of a replacement facility at Reche Canyon Elementary School. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The construction of a new unit will allow the Childcare Division to replace the substandard facility currently in use. It will include approximately 600 square feet of additional space and will include restrooms not available in the current unit. The proposed facility will utilize a concrete foundation, be constructed on-site and will be a permanent structure. This type of construction will provide cost savings versus a traditional pre - constructed modular unit rental. It will be located directly north and adjacent to the current facility and will enhance Childcare's ability to offer a safe and enriching environment for the children they serve. The City's city engineer designed the proposed facility. The Colton Unified School District has provided written approval of the design and location. The County's Department of Economic and Community Development, which oversees CDBG projects, has also approved the project. A copy of the District letter is attached. The plans and specifications are available in the City Clerk's Office for review. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The CDBG grant is for $130,000 and expenditures will not exceed that amount. This project will utilize account # 206-7200-7202-3890, titled Capital Improvements. ` ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None. i a i L A VIE J0y City Attorney c 5 RECOMMENDATION: City Council approve a request to competitively bid for construction of a Childcare replacement facility at Reche Canyon Elementary School funded by CD13G.
