Therefore, it is <br />recommended that the City Council approve the proposed increases to ELS Architecture and Urban <br />Design’s administrative fees and Gilbane’s project management fees to ensure the successful completion <br />of the project. <br />EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT <br />Equity and/or inclusion was considered during Project development by engaging with relevant Redwood <br />City communities through public meetings, surveys, and other means, with a focus on communities <br />traditionally least likely to be heard in civic processes. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Under the terms of the Project Extension Agreement with TBC, TBC will reimburse the City for the costs <br />incurred from the proposed contract amendments with ELS and Gilbane. If the City does not receive <br />reimbursements for the FY 2025-26 costs incurred from the proposed contract amendments with ELS and <br />Gilbane by December 1, 2025, the City will pursue available legal remedies, including potential legal <br />action. If needed, a mid-year budget amendment will be proposed to appropriate up to $397,899 in <br />unallocated FY 2025-26 General Fund balance to temporarily cover the cost of the proposed amendments. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />This activity is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA <br />Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably <br />foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. <br />PUBLIC NOTICE <br />Public notification was achieved by posting the agenda, with the agenda items being listed, at least 72 <br />hours prior to the meeting. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />1.

Approve ELS’s amendment for construction administration, but not Gilbane’s for project management <br />services <br />7.P. - Page 6 of 15 <br />383
