The Courthouse <br />was reconstructed to replicate its 1906 design under the guidance of plans produced by <br />DES Architects. The project incorporated the use of original materials such as Colusa <br />sandstone as well as modern materials such as fiber glass reinforced plastic (FRP). All <br />materials meet the Secretary of the Interior's standards for historic preservation and <br />provide an appearance which is authentic, yet structurally sound to modern building <br />standards. The City Council approved a final agreed price for Phase I "at risk" <br />construction management/general contractor services for $4,955,057 on March 14, <br />2005. <br /> <br />Phase II included the construction of a new Courthouse Square intended to be the heart <br />of Redwood City's downtown revitalization. This new area was created by the removal <br />of the south annex in Phase I. Plans were designed under the direction of Freedman <br />Tung & Bottomley ("FTB"). This new Courthouse Square includes two pavilions with <br />raised areas to accommodate four different vendors, fountain areas with seating walls, <br />benches, decorative lighting, an ornamental concrete medallion, and a new downtown <br />public restroom. The City Council approved the final agreed price for Phase II "at risk" <br />construction management/general contractor services for $5,410,291 which extended <br />and amended OPR's contract to a total of $10,365,348. <br /> <br />There are two custom light fixtures (pre-wired protected by boxes) at the front of the <br />square that will be installed by the week of March 5th. These fixtures have not been <br />paid for ($17,000), and the City will retain approximately $900,000 for an additional 45 <br />days after Council acceptance to cover any potential late claims. <br /> <br />L:\Restored Library\REPORTS\Paul\2007\Courthouse Acceptance 02.26.07 <br /> <br />PAGE 1 OF 2 <br />
