Staff is also working to replace <br />subscription -based systems with internal no -maintenance cost solutions, and add faster solid state drives <br />to the existing data storage infrastructure to accommodate increasing data storage needs. Staff also <br />successfully replaced SIRE, the prior agenda management system, with OnBase. All of these initiatives <br />increase staff efficiency and satisfaction with important systems used for daily work. <br />Transportation <br />Progress has been made on multiple projects on Middlefield Road. The Middlefield Road/Woodside Road <br />pedestrian improvements are substantially complete and are being well used by the community. Work <br />started on the utility undergrounding project at the start of 2019 and the construction of underground <br />facilities to house utilities will last for roughly one year. Utility providers will then place utility lines <br />underground and the streetscape project will commence; these phases will take another year. <br />Design is progressing on the Highway 101/84 Interchange Project. Staff is focused on finalizing the funding <br />plan and getting funding commitments for construction in order to start work on required right-of-way <br />acquisition. <br />Construction is substantially complete on Safe Routes to School improvements at five elementary schools. <br />Construction is more than a quarter of the way complete on improvements around Kennedy Middle <br />School, which includes bulb outs, medians, and a beacon system to increase safety for residents crossing <br />Alameda de las Pulgas at Goodwin Avenue. <br />Staff submitted applications for the US -101 Pedestrian Undercrossing Project to four regulatory agencies <br />prior to July 1, 2016, and received all necessary approvals as of September 2018. The plans and <br />specifications for the project were completed shortly after, and the project bid closed on January 30, 2019. <br />Staff is recommending award of the project in February 2019. Construction is expected to begin in the <br />spring of 2019 and be completed in late fall 2019. <br />Water <br />Staff reached important milestones on a number of water infrastructure projects thus far. The design of <br />the California Water Tank, Pump Station, and Transmission Main Project has been completed, and the <br />complex construction of this critical project is expected to take place over two years. Additionally, the <br />design for next fiscal year's water main improvement project has also been completed. <br />Seismic retrofit work on the Peninsula Water Tank No. 2 in Redwood Shores will begin in the summer of <br />2019 with the recent award of $719,000 in Hazard Mitigation Grant funding from Cal OES and FEMA.
