BACKGROUND
Sykes Ranch Park, located at the corner of Hayes Avenue and Semillon Lane, is a site of importance for the City of Murrieta, as the vestiges of the Sykes family ranch can still be seen on the property today. The recreation Park, originally built by the developer over 15 years ago, contains walking paths, a tot lot and serves as a popular gathering place for local families.
Construction for the Sykes Ranch Park Improvement Project consisted of precise grading, construction of new concrete walkways, installation of metal fencing around the new windmill structure, park furnishings, landscaping, and historical marker signs.
Mobilization for the project began on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, and construction activities were substantially completed by Friday, April 5, 2024. The construction schedule was significantly delayed by 16 days of rain. One construction contract change order, for a net increase of $3,888.97, resulted from additional grading, planting, fencing, and the removal of a segment of a sidewalk from the scope of work. The value of this change order was within the 15% contingency included in the contract originally approved by the City Council on December 5, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total construction cost of $187,624.97, including the change order for $3,888.97, was funded by Park Development Impact Fees and Landscape & Lighting District 18 reserve funds.
