<br />6.1E <br />Page 1 <br /> <br />REPORT <br /> <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />F:rom the City Manager <br /> <br />August 24, 2009 <br /> <br />SUBJECT <br />Amendment Number 1 to Agreement with Bottomley and Associates for Urban Design and <br />Planning Consultant Services <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Approve Amendment Number 1 to Agreement with Bottomley and Associates to continue the <br />preparation of the Stanford Precise Plan. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />Stanford University has submitted an application for a new "Stanford in Redwood City" campus. <br />The project would occupy a 35-acre portion of a larger 48-acre (former Mid-Point Technology <br />Park) campus that is intersected by Broadway and generally bounded by Highway 101, Douglas <br />Avenue, Bay Street and Second Avenue. The proposal includes replacement of 537,000 square <br />feet of existing Research and Development (R&D) building space with approximately 1,525,000 <br />square feet of administrative office space and to a lesser extent medical clinic (150/0) and R&D <br />(100/0) space. The proposed concept plan would triple the size of the existing campus with up to <br />13 commercial buildings and four parking structures. <br /> <br />On July 20, 2008 the City executed an agreement with Bottomley and Associates for assistance <br />with the preparation of a Precise Plan for the "Stanford in Redwood City" project. The original <br />agreement with Bottomley and Associates was under $60,000 and therefore was executed by <br />the City Manager. The consultant is now requesting a $27,030 amendment to the original <br />$40 ,120 scope of services (for a total of $67,150) to cover costs that were unanticipated in the <br />original scope of work. Stanford University has agreed to submit additional funds to cover these <br />expenses. It is anticipated that the Stanford Administrative Office Precise Plan wiU be <br />forthcoming for Council consideration, along with associated General Plan and Zoning Map <br />Amendments, in the winter of 2010. <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVE <br />Do not authorize execution of Amendment Number 1 to Agreement with Bottomley and <br />Associates. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />None. Stanford University would pay for all costs associated with the Stanford Administrative <br />Office Precise Plan. <br /> <br />1 <br />
