This preliminary design, which included platform play equipment and swings, was presented at the October 11, 2013 SFPUC project review meeting. The SFPUC review panel requested several modifications to the plan such as wider, load-bearing pathways to accommodate their maintenance vehicles, 6” spread anchors (rather than typical 18” deep footings) and easily moveable, modular seat walls and play features. Subsequently, a revised plan was submitted to the panel on January 22, 2014; the panel requested more changes. Soon after, they announced that the project was suspended, possibly cancelled, to allow time for the development of new guidelines. After several discussions to allow the project, and based on the comments from the previous meeting, the City came back with a third revision on December 5, 2014. The plan was rejected by SFPUC based on new regulations created because of the additional pipe in the right-of-way. The City was required to adhere to the new September 8, 2014 Draft Recreational Use Policy for the SFPUC Water Pipeline Right of Way in San Mateo County. After reviewing the new land use policy, the City re-engaged the community. SSA was required to start over and produce an entirely new set of drawings. The new design – a ‘simple plan’ - was presented to SFPUC on July 29, 2015. The design was approved to move ahead with the 95% drawings. To complete the new design, the project requires additional funding. Amendment No.1 in the amount of $23,250.00 to the original contract value for an aggregate total of $63,730.00 was approved by City Council on January 25, 2016. On January 23, 2017, the City Council approved the award of a contract to C2R Engineering, Inc. in the not to exceed amount of $476,206.50 for the Linden Park renovation project. Amendment No. 2 in the amount of $33,941.00 to extend and amend the original agreement for a total of $97,671 is needed due to the unexpected requirements for revisions and presentations to SFPUC. ANALYSIS The process to replace Linden Park has required an unusual amount of time due to evolving SFPUC requirements. SSA Landscape Architectures had to reinstitute public workshops; attend unexpected SFPUC review committee meetings; complete new plans and coordinate with Engineering for new details; additional time has been spent on bid phase services; and there will be additional construction coordination needed. Amendment No. 2 addresses the extra time and scope requirements in order for the City to successfully deliver the Linden Park renovation project with expected construction start by the end of February 2017. 6.1.C. - Page 2
