Ocean Beach Community Development Corporation (OBCDC) has selected a low bidder to do construction documents for the Veterans’ Plaza project.
\nOn May 8, OBCDC\u2019s board voted to select Estrada Landscape Architecture over KTU+A Planning Landscape Architecture.
\nThe construction document phase of the Veterans’ Plaza project calls for creating design documents that can be used in the construction of a new Veterans’ Plaza to replace the original plaza that is currently in disrepair on the corner of Newport Avenue and Abbott Street.
\n“KTU+A was higher than Estrada by a significant amount,” said OBCDC treasurer Dave Martin about the two firms that submitted requests for proposals (RFPs) to do construction documents for the project.
\nMartin said the bid differential was $49,587 for Estrada versus $61,973 for KTU+A.
\n“Our budget was right around $50,000 for the project,” said Martin. “From that standpoint alone, there\u2019s not much to argue with.”
\nOBCDC board member Brian Pottenger said Estrada has previously done work in Imperial Beach for a similar project. Tthat\u2019s almost exactly what we want to do here,” said Pottenger.
\nPottenger said his only question was whether KTU+A\u2019s bid was higher “because they did the (original) design work (on Gateway project) and know it will take that much work to do.”
\nPointing out Estrada\u2019s done “half a dozen or more dynamite projects in San Diego,” board president Tom Perrotti said, “I\u2019m confident either company could do this (walkway).”
\n“Now it\u2019s time to start fundraising,” said OBCDC vice president Stephen Grosch following the 5-2 vote for Estrada.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
