2. SCOPE OF SERVICES
2.1 Introduction
The City of San Buenaventura (Ventura) is a coastal community located just north of Los Angeles
County and south of Santa Barbara County and is frequently considered one of America’s most
desirable places to live. The City is a full-service municipality, providing police and fire services,
parks and recreation, public works, and community development in addition to water treatment
and distribution, storm water processing, and wastewater management. The City employs nearly
700 employees, boasts a population of 110,000 residents within its 32 square miles which
includes 32 parks and historic sites, and more than 800 acres of open green space. The City
operates under its own charter with the City Council/City Manager form of government
comprised of seven members elected by district for terms of four years. The City Council hires
two of the principal officials of the City, the City Manager and the City Attorney.
2.2 Project Overview and Description
The City of San Buenaventura (City) owns the Olivas Links Golf Course property located in the
southeastern portion of the City. The property is in an industrial area and is adjacent to Santa
Clara River.
In 2001, a complete Golf Course redesign and construction project was initiated using a links-
oriented format to take advantage of natural sandy soil, few trees, frequent winds, thick grass,
and plentiful bunkers. Permanent structures were retired and demolished to accommodate the
redesign. Intentions were to site future replacement structures on the northeast parcel corner to
share parking with the Olivas Adobe facility. Temporary leased modular structures provided
initial restroom and office capability as a bridge to permanent structures. Golf Cart storage and
charging are facilitated in a makeshift structure adjacent to the maintenance facility near the
“mushroom farm”. There is also a fueling station in the vicinity. There have been no noticeable
upgrades, modifications, or improvements to address asset depreciation, obsolescence, or to
replace temporary facilities with permanent ones. (See Figure 1: Vicinity Map).
A recently updated 2017 Golf System Evaluation report outlines three potential configurations
for a “clubhouse” at Olivas Links, seating 60, 120, and 250 respectively. When the indirect
benefits of a new clubhouse (beneficial impact on tournaments and public play) are considered,
a modest size clubhouse may be supportable. Even with indirect benefits, a large full-service
clubhouse with extensive banquet facilities at Olivas Links is not considered supportable.
The City is requesting proposals from qualified professionals to identify optimal permanent
structure site locations and provide design elements that incorporate flood plain mitigations,
enhance physical security, and also improve both the general public and golf course user
experience and patronage.
