SUBJECT:
Livorna Park Bocce Courts - Completion of Preliminary Project
Scoping
~iAJ-\J/J~
Background:
On February 5, 2013 Alamo MuniCipal AdviSOry Council (MAC) accepted County
staff's recommendation to spend up to $15,000 of County Service Area (CSA) R-7A
funds to develop a project plan to replace the existing sand volleyball court in
Livorna Park with two bocce ball courts. At the April 2, 2013 MAC meeting County
staff presented bocce ball court options and cost estimates and these were further
discussed at the May 7, 2013 MAC meeting which took place after a field visit.
Two field visits were made by the MAC's Parks and Recreation Working Group
(David Barclay, Ed Best and Steve Mick) to view the proposed location, try various
layouts and discuss other project details. After the second field visit, County staff
incorporated
specific
features
into
the
attached
drawing
for
the
MAC's consideration. The estimated total cost for this revised preliminary project
proposal is $597,696.
Specificallr,--as-aresult
of the-May 1ih field visit, the following elements were
changed or confirmed (see revised drawing):
Courts Size and Surface
• 2 courts: Length 78 feet, Width 12 feet
• SynthetiC surface similar to Campo de Bocce in Livermore
Benches
• Match benches around gazebo. 2' x 8' long, no backs
• 1 bench at the end of each court. No back
• 8' benches in the middle. No backs (Note: Only one row of benches
may be able to fit to allow for ADA clearance of 48.")
• 2 courses of brick around benches (similar to gazebo bench work)
Trellis structure-remains

Working with an experienced landscape architect, and after thorough review of the
considerations including two field visits receiving input from the MAC's Parks and
Recreation Working Group, staff has developed a basic project scope and cost
estimate for construction and long-term maintenance of bocce ball courts at
Livorna Park.
Recommendations:
1) Recommend moving forward on bocce ball courts in Livorna Park using
Measure WW park bond extension funds that are available for this type of
park development.
2) Recommend the type of bocce ball courts desired as described in this memo
and the attached sketch, and request staff to implement next steps. (See
attached estimated timetable.)
3) Initiate CEQA review now that project features are determined.
4) Authorize up to $50,000 for further project development costs.
