Title
Request City Council to Authorize Release of Request for Bids (RFB) for the Construction of the Booster Pump Station for Serving Domestic and Fire Protection Water to the Renaissance East Shopping Center.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The Renaissance Specific Plan outlines the City of Rialto's plans to develop a shopping, dining, and entertainment district on Ayala Drive, just south of the 210 freeway. The area will feature two centers; the Renaissance Marketplace and Renaissance East (it will be renamed later). The Renaissance East development will result in a new 112,000 square foot center and will include a Cracker Barrel restaurant, Sonic drive through and a nationally recognized hotel.
On March 14, 2017, the City Council approved an Option to Purchase and Develop Site Agreement by and between the City of Rialto and Ayala@210LLC ("Developer") for a commercial development on an 8-acre site situated east of Ayala Avenue and north of Renaissance Parkway/Easton Avenue.
On February 13, 2018, the City Council awarded a Professional Services Agreement to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Incorporated in the amount of $101,500 to design the Booster Pump Station.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:
Staff is preparing the Request for Bids (RFB) for the Booster Pump Station at the Renaissance East Shopping Center and recommends that the City formally solicit bids for construction of the Pump Station.
Staff is requesting Council to authorize the release of the RFB immediately upon completion of the RFB package, which will include 100% completion of the plans in order to expedite the schedule and ensure there will be adequate water infrastructure in place to serve the development soon to be under construction. Plans will be finalized prior to the RFB being released.
