1.3A I REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager August 28, 2000 Subject Amendment to Agreement between the County of San Mateo, the City of Redwood City, and the Redwood City School District regarding construction, establishment and maintenance of playing fields at Taft and Garfield Schools. Recommendation That the City Council approve the amendment to the Agreement between the County of San Mateo, Redwood City School District and City of Redwood City and authorize the Mayor of Redwood City to sign the agreement. Background On November 8, 1999, the City Council approved the initial agreement between the County of San Mateo, City of Redwood City and the Redwood City School District for construction and maintenance of playing fields at Taft and Garfield Schools. The partnership involved the School District to provide the land for the fields, the County of San Mateo providing Block Grant funds in the amount of $1 ,283,379.00, and the City of Redwood City providing the balance of the funds in addition to acting at "Project Manager" for the renovation projects. The "amendment" to the agreement provides the necessary language for the County of San Mateo to utilize Community Development Block Grant funds which was omitted in the previous agreement on November 8, 1999. The County Counsel's Office has prepared the amendment to the agreement which has been reviewed and approved by staff and the City Attorney's office. Approval of this agreement will provide the City with $1,283,379.00 for the fields renovation. Taft School is currently being constructed and is approximately 60% complete as of the date of the report. Garfield School will be put out to bid in February 2001. Alternative Discontinue construction of Taft field at this time. Cancel development of the Garfield field project. Fiscal Impact The City of Redwood City is responsible for providing the additional funding in excess of $733,359.00 on Taft School and $550,000.00 for Garfield School. Base bid for Taft School was $757,648 (not including design and administration of about $170,000). The City of Redwood City also absorbs the costs associated with being the "Project Manager" for the project which involves staff time of the Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services and the Engineering staff. ...,..--,-" aT .
