8.A. - Page 6 of 72 intention of removing non-critical and dormant projects. Additionally, in an effort to implement best practices and to streamline the Five -Year CIP process and procedures, several initiatives will be implemented with the development of the FY 2020-21 budget, including introduction of a software system to systematically track and report capital projects. CIP Project Milestones Updates on a few major projects in each category of the CIP are provided below. A comprehensive update on the entire CIP will be provided on May 4, 2020, when staff will seek City Council direction on updating the Five -Year CIP. Facilities Though design phases for City Hall security upgrades were completed on schedule, Public Works Services staff has faced repeated difficulties over the last few months securing contract services. As a result of a healthy economy, many contractors have indicated they are completely busy until early 2020, with no capacity to take on new work until then. Staff are working diligently to implement facility improvements as soon as possible. Public Works Services will continue to provide updates as information becomes available and the exact timeline begins to take shape. Parking Last year, shared parking agreements were executed with developments at 851 Main and 2075 Broadway. These agreements will add 396 downtown parking spaces to the public parking supply for nights and weekends once the projects are completed in 2020. As part of the agreement with the development at 2075 Broadway, the developer agreed to make available at least 20 monthly passes for nearby residents of the senior and low-income residential properties. Redwood City Improvement Association's consultant for the parking guidance system completed its design and specifications for a parking guidance system. Staff expects to release a request for proposals for the parking guidance system in February 2020. In fall 2019, the vendor that provided the parking occupancy signs outside the Downtown garages went into bankruptcy and is no longer supporting the system. A replacement of the parking occupancy system has been incorporated into the parking guidance request for proposal. Staff are coordinating with potential replacement vendors to run a pilot of their systems. The pilot is scheduled to start by the end of February 2020. Parks A major ongoing project is construction of the Magical Bridge Playground. From November 2019 to date, there have been over 100 inclement weather/poor soil condition days which have delayed the completion of the project. Construction on the project continues with the estimated completion date in spring 2020. Hoover Field was the most recent synthetic field to be replaced as a part of the Synthetic Turf Replacement program. Nearly ten years old, the field was replaced in the summer of 2019.
