Item 8ma. Recreation and Parks Master Plan Update(AUU Wards)The Bakersfield Recreation and Parks Department has
a need to update their existing master plan written by consultant MIG, Inc.and approved by Council on January 30, 2008.
Since the time of adoption, the City has experienced exponential growth. The increased demand for improved and new
public amenities and the high expectations created by PSVS'W1easure N necessitates an update to the current plan to
better align with the needs of City residents. The comprehensive update will include the following phases within the
scope ofwork:
* Phase 1. Review of Existing Conditions
* Phase 2. Needs Assessment
* Phase 3. Recommendations
* Phase4. Implementation
Staff recommends the master plan update be conducted by the original vendor and further recommends dispensing with
bidding in accordance with Section 3.20.060 subsection (D) (Z) of the Bakersfield Municipal code to have M|G, Inc.
conduct the master plan update, ata cost not to exceed $52J,U8S. Funds are available within the Recreation and Parks
Department's Capital Improvement Budget within the Pub|ic6afetv/Vita| Services Fund.
Item 8mc. Street Light Prooect Implementation (AUU Wards) As part uf the Public Safety and Vital Services Measure, the
City Council approved funding for staff to initiate an extensive, City-wide street light study with the objective of
identifying opportunities to improve visibility and safety along highly travelled roadways, bike paths' pedestrian routes
and within high crime areas. In June 2020, the City entered into an agreement with JIVIPE to complete the study. JMPE
completed and presented the findings of the first phase of the street light study to the City Council in May 2021.The first
phase of the study used a data-driven approach focused on vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian accidents in the public right
of way, as well as hot spot areas of high crime incidents. This study also measured the light levels of several street
intersections throughout the City and determined that the intersections were not meeting the recommended lighting
lumen outputs as established by the Illuminating Engineering Society. This phase of the project consists of removing and
replacing 163 existing lighting fixtures at various intersections. The existing fixtures will be replaced with higher wattage
LED luminaires. Other work items included in this project are making final wiring connection and removing and salvaging
existing light fixtures. After issuing an RFP, staff are recommending entering an agreement with Crosstown Electrical &
Data, Inc. ($87,SS8), for Street Lighting Modifications at Various Intersections. There are sufficient funds in the project
budget to award this contract. Since this project is funded with PSVS funds, there is no general fund impact associated
with the award of this contract.
