BACKGROUND:
TeWinkle Park is a forty-nine (49) acre park dedicated in 1965 in honor of Charles TeWinkle, the first mayor of the City of Costa Mesa. The park hosts various amenities, including Angels Playground, open air amphitheater, expansive open spaces for recreation, and the iconic TeWinkle Park Lakes. The lakes are artificial water features and are a hallmark feature at TeWinkle Park. The water features consist of two lakes, two ponds, an intermediate pond, five streams, nearly two acres of water surface, and approximately 3,250 feet of shoreline.
The lakes have been in disrepair for the past several years. A partial renovation of the lakes was undertaken in 2004; however, water leakage has developed in the two primary lakes, resulting in significant water loss as well as undermining of the lakebed and erosion of soil along the lakes' perimeter.
On December 7, 2021, the City Council awarded a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) to Pacific Advanced Civil Engineering (PACE) to perform design for the rehabilitation of the lakes, including value engineering, analysis, working plans, specifications, and estimates; and coordination of community meetings. The intent of the TeWinkle Park Lakes Repair and Rehabilitation Project was to address these deficiencies and to improve the functionality and operational efficiency of the lake system, including enhancing the safety, aesthetic, and recreational value of the lakes at TeWinkle Park.
