I. SUMMARY
In 2014, the City of Carson was awarded a Proposition A grant by the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) to make improvements at Hemingway Park. Areas renovated included the snack bar, roof, ball field, community recreation room, tennis court, and the playground.
There is a current Proposition A Maintenance & Servicing Allocations grant earmarked for the City of Carson by the RPOSD to support maintenance of previously-awarded grant projects. Staff submitted an application for use of these funds, and was subsequently approved by RPOSD for work to repair the meeting room, kitchen and office floors at Hemingway Park in the amount of $24,000. (Exhibit No. 4).
Staff is requesting that the City Council award and approve a Public Works Agreement with Jesus Blumenkron, DBA Krons Pro Painting, to repair the floors at the facility (Exhibit 2). Specifically, the scope of work under the proposed contract includes removing flooring and providing epoxy flooring in all rooms of the main building of Hemingway Park. The not-to-exceed Contract Sum is $24,000, except that Change Orders in the amount of up to 10% of the Contract Sum ($2,400) may be approved by the City Manager or designee as provided in Section 1.12 of the contract. Additionally, staff is recommending that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 24-004 to amend the FY 2023/24 budget to allocate the grant funding for this work (Exhibit No. 1).

IV. BACKGROUND
The City of Carson was awarded a $253,000 Proposition A Grant from the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) for the Hemingway Park Improvement Project in 2014. The City of Carson also receives Proposition A Maintenance & Servicing funds from the RPOSD to support repairs from previously-awarded grants (Exhibit 3).
The meeting room, kitchen and office floors at Hemingway Park need replacement. Staff submitted an application to RPOSD to request funds to support this project. The application was subsequently approved (Exhibit 4), and is now being brought to the City Council to utilize the award.
The proposed vendor, Krons Pro Painting, was tentatively selected by staff to perform the repair work, which includes removal of 2,500 sq. ft. of existing vinyl composition tile (VCT) flooring, and replacement with an epoxy coating. The total not-to exceed Contract Sum for this project, as provided in the proposed Agreement, is $24,000. As a public works contract under $60,000, the procurement is not subject to competitive bidding.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
Should the City Council approve the staff’s recommendation, the following accounts will record the expenditure and the grant reimbursement, per the proposed Resolution No. 24-004:
• General Ledger Account No. 222-80-840-102-7001, Maintenance & Repairs $24,000
