Introduction/Summary

The Cambria Community Services District is inviting bids from qualified licensed contractors for construction services for the Cambria Skate Park Project. This bid is for construction only. All design, engineering, and permitting have been completed or are being completed under separate contracts. The intent of the Project is for the selected contractor to provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision necessary to construct the skate park and associated site improvements in accordance with approved plans, specifications, and District standards. The project includes the construction of a community skate park and associated site improvements, including a parking area, retaining wall, and frontage, drainage, and utility improvements on an approximately 1.4-acre parcel located at 975 Main Street, Cambria, California. (Assessor’s Parcel Number [APN] 013-101-072) in the unincorporated community of Cambria in San Luis Obispo County, California.

Existing Conditions

The project site consists of an approximately 0.5-acre area situated in the southwestern portion of a 1.4-acre parcel (APN 013-101-072) located off of Main Street in the unincorporated community of Cambria in San Luis Obispo County, California. The project parcel is located within the County of San Luis Obispo Commercial Retail (CR) land use designation and is currently developed with an approximately 5,000-square-foot paved area surrounded by a fence on the western and northwestern perimeter and associated disturbed areas. The remaining portions of the parcel are undeveloped.

The project site consists of relatively flat topography and is bound by Main Street to the southwest and steep slopes to the northeast. The project site comprises developed and disturbed land and has been previously developed with skate park infrastructure and used as a community skate park for approximately 20 years. These features were removed due to safety concerns, and only a concrete pad remains. While operational, the skate park attracted approximately 20 visitors per week and operated between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and dusk. There are existing trees located within the northwestern portion of the project site. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) panel 06079C0528H (effective date 5/16/2017), portions of the project site are located in Zone AE, an area with a 1 percent annual chance of flood. There are no mapped wetlands or drainages located on the project site. Surrounding land uses include single-family residences to the north and northeast, Cambria Public Library to the east, and commercial retail uses to the south and west. 

Proposed Project

The project includes the construction of a 5,500-square-foot skate park. The proposed skate park would be enclosed by a new 6-foot-tall steel fence. Site preparation for the construction of the skate park would require demolition of approximately 5,000 square feet of existing asphalt pavement and removal of the existing fence, which would be conducted in accordance with applicable San Luis Obispo Air Pollution Control District (SLOAPCD) requirements, including asbestos-containing material (ACM) procedures if applicable. The skate park would be developed with architectural skate park features, including ramps, rails, ledges, and other features. The proposed pre-fabricated restroom facility would be approximately 98 square feet in size and will be installed on a proposed building pad within the southeastern portion of the fenced area of the skate park by a separate contractor. The restroom facility would require the installation of water and sewer lines to connect to the existing utility lines along Main Street, as well as electrical service per the electrical plans. The parking lot would be constructed immediately southeast of the fenced skate park and would be approximately 10,000 square feet in size, consisting of a total of seven parking spaces, including one Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) parking space, as well as concrete curbs and valley gutters. All project features would be constructed in accordance with the most recent California Building Code (CBC), San Luis Obispo County Building and Construction Requirements, Fire Safety Standards (CZLUO Section 23.05.086), and Flood Hazard Standards (CZLUO Sections 23.07.064 and 23.07.066).

The project includes the installation of additional site improvements, including the construction of drainage infrastructure, a retaining wall, and utility and frontage improvements. Proposed drainage improvements include the construction of a rock-lined swale along the eastern and northern portions of the skate park and parking area that would drain into a proposed 950-cubic-foot detention basin in the northwestern portion of the project site. Rock slope protection (RSP) would be installed along the proposed drainage basin to prevent erosion. An 8-inch storm drain would be installed underground through the project site to capture stormwater flows from the site and direct them toward the proposed drainage basin. The proposed retaining wall would be 60 feet in length and 4 feet in height and would be constructed along the northern corner of the site. The project also includes the construction of frontage improvements and utility infrastructure improvements within the County of San Luis Obispo right-of-way (ROW) along Main Street. Proposed frontage improvements include the construction of a sidewalk, curbs, and gutters, and proposed utility improvements include the installation of a 4-inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sanitary sewer line and a 1-inch PVC waterline. Frontage improvements would be constructed in accordance with County Public Works design requirements. The project would relocate an existing streetlight to the west of the skate park along Main Street. Additionally, landscaping and fencing would be installed throughout the project site in accordance with the Landscaping Plan that has been prepared for the project. Installation shall conform to the approved civil plan set.

The project would require the removal of five trees from the northwestern portion of the project site, including two arroyo willow trees (Salix lasiolepis) that would be relocated within the proposed stormwater basin. The project would require a total of 0.47 acres of ground disturbance, including 0.27 acres of ground disturbance on-site, 0.2 acres of ground disturbance associated with the proposed frontage improvements, and a total of 800 cubic yards of cut and 250 cubic yards of fill. The maximum depth of excavation would require an additional 7 feet of excavation for the construction of the proposed project features, including the retaining wall, drainage basin, and rock-lined swale. Construction activities would be conducted in accordance with standard SLOAPCD fugitive dust measures and diesel-idling restrictions, County inadvertent discovery requirements (CZLUO Section 23.05.140), and County erosion and sedimentation control measures during construction (CZLUO Section 23.05.036). The project would result in approximately 15,000 square feet of impervious surface area on-site.   Project construction is expected to occur over a period of six months beginning in the spring or summer of 2026. During this time, minor traffic controls may be required during the construction of frontage improvements; however, no lane closures would occur. The staging area would be located on a previously disturbed portion of the project site within the proposed parking lot. All construction activities would occur during daylight hours and would be conducted in compliance with applicable County noise regulations and daytime construction exceptions (CZLUO Section 23.06.042).
