8.A. - Page 12 of 42 Staff is also working on an entire system replacement of the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning system at Red Morton Community Center. Bids recently closed for the project, and staff expect the full replacement to be complete during the spring of 2021. Parking Last year, the downtown garage operator terminated their contract with the City. City staff conducted a request for proposals for parking operators for the Redwood City garages. ACE Parking was selected as the new vendor and started January 2021. With input from the vendor, staff are working to improve efficiency at the garages and implement new garage operating procedures to better address the needs of the garage patrons. The parking guidance system project will bring real-time parking information to downtown visitors on signs and through mobile applications. In partnership with the Redwood City Improvements Association, the City selected Cleverciti as the vendor for their parking guidance system project in December 2020. Construction started the first week of February and began in the library parking lots and downtown garages. Construction is expected to be complete by June 2021. Parks Phase I of the Veterans Memorial Senior Center -YMCA Project was sent out to bid and five firms responded with an apparent low bidder identified in March 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the volatility in the municipal bond market, it was determined that rejecting all bids (October 2020) and delaying construction to later in 2021 would be in the best interest of the City. An updated bid package will be redistributed and a renewed bond financing process implemented with the estimated recommendation to the City Council before the end of this fiscal year. The City Council accepted the Downtown Parks Site Assessment and Feasibility Study and approved moving forward with creating a corridor of parks and open space at three sites: Roselli Garden/Library 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 created Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) for architectural and public engagement services and received over two dozen responses. This project was delayed due the pandemic and the focus to complete the Magical Bridge Playground. This process was relaunched and it is expect that a consultant team will be on contract by the end of this fiscal year. Following engagement with the consultant team, the public engagement process and focus on the plans for the Library Lot A conversion would commence. In May 2020, the City applied for, and was awarded, $800,000 from the County of Santa Clara's Stanford Recreation Mitigation Fund towards the Library Lot A park project. The construction drawings for the Pirate Ship Imagination Art Space adjacent to the Redwood Shores Library are complete and the City has received a permit for construction from the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC). Staff is now working with a technical team on the specifications for the art installation and with Building & Inspection Division to obtain a City building permit. Staff expects award of bid and construction phase to take place summer 2021. Redwood City is fortunate to have large mature trees in its parks. Unfortunately, the roots of those mature trees can cause damage to existing pathways. Staff is taking a multi -prong approach of shave/patch/replace depending on the severity of the issues. Currently, five large sections of pathway at Red Morton Park have been replaced.
