8.B. - Page 8 of 122 Parking Lot A, a portion of the Main Street/City Hall Parking Lot, and the Bradford/Redwood Creek trail to link with the Bay Trail. Staff will create a request for qualifications for architectural services to also include major public outreach and design/visioning components, with expected completion in the first quarter of 2019. The Parks, Recreation, and Community Services (PRCS) Department is also partnering with the Redwood City Parks and Arts Foundation to create a speaker series specially for this project. The Foundation has graciously offered to host the speaker series as a learning opportunity for the public, stakeholders, and staff. Modeled after the Community Development Department's speaker series prior to creating the Downtown Precise Plan, staff envisions a total of four sessions that will be held at the Fox Forum beginning this spring of 2019. Staff will be sharing information as it is made available. The Design Development phase for the Pirate Ship Imagination Art Space, adjacent to the Redwood Shores Library, has been completed and is being added to the Bay Conservation Development Commission (BCDC) application. The application process is necessary as the location for the sculpture and interactive imagination area is adjacent to the Bay Trail. Staff expects that BCDC will approve the application and anticipates that construction and installation will be complete by the end of 2019. Sewer Over two miles of sanitary sewer pipeline is being replaced as part of the Collection System Replacement Program. Construction began in late August 2018 and is scheduled for completion in March 2019. Meanwhile, construction improvements to two sanitary sewer lift stations are scheduled to begin in March 2019. Video inspection of sanitary sewers is ongoing, with Redwood Shores completed in mid -2018. The Seaport Centre and Pacific Shores areas are scheduled to begin this month. Annual flow monitoring of the sanitary sewer collection system began in late December 2018. This year, 40 locations are being monitored in an effort to obtain data for the comprehensive Sewer Master Plan update that is scheduled for completion by the end of 2019. Storm Water The Bayfront Canal and Atherton Channel project design is almost complete and staff are pursuing regulatory permits. After all necessary permits and funding are obtained, construction can begin with the Bayfront Canal, currently anticipated for the second half of 2019. Staff submitted three grant applications to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to improve reliability and capacity of the City's storm water pump stations. Staff also applied for a planning grant to study improvements to protect the city from coastal flooding. The grants are currently under review for possible award. Technology The replacement of the citywide finance and human resource management system is steadily progressing, which also includes replacement of the utility billing system and procurement of new systems for business licenses and budget/performance measurement. Staff has engaged in a robust engagement effort with staff citywide. Staff is currently working with selected vendors to develop final statements of work and projected timelines. Final implementation for all systems is anticipated to be approximately two years, City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore 234
