SUBJECT:CASH CONTRACT NO. 680 – RIO HONDO GOLF COURSE LIGHTING
PROJECT – APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND
AUTHORIZE SOLICITATION FOR BIDS
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve plans and specifications and authorize solicitation for bids
for Cash Contract No. 680 – Rio Hondo Golf Course Lighting Project
BACKGROUND
On August 28, 2004, the new Rio Hondo Clubhouse was dedicated in a public
ceremony. The Rio Hondo Clubhouse and Parking Lot Replacement project consisted
of the construction of a new, 23,000 square foot, two-level clubhouse with a compact
building footprint, landscaping and parking lot improvements.
The clubhouse lower level included a 90-stall cart storage area, 900 square foot golf
shop, and snack bar. The clubhouse upper level provided a 300 person banquet hall
(divisible into three rooms), and 80-person restaurant/lounge and dining area, a
spacious terrace outside the banquet area for outdoor events, an outdoor viewing porch
next to the bar, administration offices, formal lobby, brides room, executive dining room,
and full service commercial kitchen. The parking lots were completely reconstructed to
provide 276 parking stalls with shade trees, a vehicular drop-off area at the front entry
featuring a prominent fountain, and parking lot lighting.
DISCUSSION
Scheduled events at the Rio Hondo Golf Course and Clubhouse continue to thrive due
to the variety of services and accommodations offered. The clubhouse upper level has
impressive views of the golf course from banquet halls and bar/dining areas. However,
since many events at the facility are scheduled at night, these views are not enjoyed. It
was recommended that the impressive views of the golf course be enhanced with
outdoor lighting that accentuates some of the fairway trees for the night-time patrons
and guests.
The Engineering Division staff has consulted with an outdoor lighting consultant and a
lighting design was prepared to illuminate certain tree groupings along both sides of the
fairway directly west of Rio Hondo Golf Clubhouse. Staff has also completed the
preparation of plans, specifications and construction cost estimate and the project is
now ready for solicitation of construction bids.
