BACKGROUND:
On July 18, 2017, a construction contract for $28,739,822 was awarded to Tovey/Shultz Construction, Inc. for The Lions Park Projects located at 1845 and 1855 Park Avenue.
The project site encompasses the Donald Dungan Library, the Norma Hertzog Community Center (NHCC), the Lions Park event lawn, and the area between the Costa Mesa Historical Society building and Anaheim Avenue.
The improvements to Lions Park include the demolition of the pre-existing Neighborhood Community Center (NCC); construction of a new, two story, 24,000 square foot (SF) LEED Gold Donald Dungan Library, and renovation of the pre-existing library to be repurposed as the new, 9,000 SF LEED Gold NHCC. Construction also included the new Lions Park event lawn, parking lot improvements, storm drain improvements, landscape and irrigation improvements, off-site street improvements to Park Avenue and Anaheim Avenue, and building signs and directional/wayfinding signs.
Additional improvements include $209,562.50 in a contract change order to implement the Community Center Capri Courtyard concrete, electrical, lighting, landscaping and irrigation improvements.
Additionally, on November 13, 2023, a change order in the amount of $1,929,805 was executed to include the construction of Café Mesa located at 1851 Park Avenue. Café Mesa provides 1,100 SF of operational space to a contracted vendor to provide concessions to parkgoers.

The original contract cost plus the change orders to implement the NHCC Capri Courtyard and Café Mesa, a Purchase Order residual reduction of $20,798.47 prior to the execution of the Café Mesa change order, and miscellaneous quantity adjustments, amounted to a final contract cost of $30,757,588.75.
