REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager October 1, 2018 SUBJECT Amendment No. 1 to a Professional Services Agreement with PlaceWorks for Environmental Consulting Services related to the preparation of the 1401 Broadway Environmental Impact Report RECOMMENDATION By motion, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No 1 in an amount not to exceed $48,130 with PlaceWorks for a total contract amount not to exceed $185,183. BACKGROUND On October 17, 2016, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with PlaceWorks for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed Broadway Plaza project located at 1401 Broadway. The contract amount was $137,053. The Boradway Plaza project is proposed by Sobrato. The project consists of the replacement of an existing retail strip mall located at 1401 Broadway. The new development includes an office building located at 1055 Broadway with a mixed-use project consisting of approximately 400 market-rate residential units, 120 affordable residential units, 420,000 s.f. of office space, 26,000 s.f. of retail space including a stand-alone CVS pharmacy, 10,000 s.f. child care center, public and private open space, and shared underground parking. The CVS pharmacy site is known as the “Bay Block” and the site of the remaining development is known as the “Broadway Block.” ANALYSIS As work progresses on the proposed Broadway Plaza project, PlaceWorks has identified the need for additional funds. The proposed project has undergone several significant changes since the original contract was executed in 2016. These changes include the addition of the Bay Block, relocation of proposed affordable housing units (from the Bay Block to the Broadway Block), addition of proposed daycare center, and consideration of General Plan and 6.1.A. - Page 1
