7. STAFF REPORTS A. Award of Contract — Redwood Shores Community Library Project Senior Civil Engineer Lee explained the project. Council Members thanked staff for their persistence and the outreach to the community. The project is much more than a branch library, but a community meeting place for the Redwood Shores neighborhood. The community supports raising the additional funds for the opening day collection that is ongoing at this time. Mario Rendon, President of the Library Foundation and Billy James, Library Board President were thanked for their leadership and work. The collaboration between the State, the City, and the GID funds was acknowledged. The community survey as to needs in Redwood Shores and focus meetings with the staff efforts were important to the success. This is an investment in the future in a community need identified by the community. Recommendation: M/S Foust/Hartnett to: By motion, approve the Contract Documents, and accept the lowest responsive base bid and bid alternatives in the amount of $14,472,500 from Sausal Corporation of San Leandro, California, for the Redwood Shores Community Library Project, and return all other bid securities. 2.
