6.1.A. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er April 9, 2012 SUBJECT License Agreement with San Mateo County for Use of City Owned Property at 1420 Maple Street RECOMMENDATION By motion, authorize the City Manager to enter into a License Agreement with San Mateo County for the use of City-owned property at 1420 Maple Street as a construction staging site in support of the new San Mateo County Jail Project. BACKGROUND San Mateo County acquired property along Maple Street at Chemical Way on which to construct a new jail facility. Immediately north of the planned jail site is property owned by Redwood City that was formerly owned by Cemex. This property is undeveloped, though a portion of it is under consideration by the City Council for use by the Bair Island Aquatic Center for expansion of its operations. The San Mateo County Sheriff's Department has requested temporary use of the remainder of the Cemex parcel for construction staging. ANALYSIS The San Mateo County Sheriff's Department anticipates beginning construction efforts for the new County Jail by summer 2012. In preparation for this work, they are currently in the process of selecting the various consulting groups, designers and construction managers, necessary to build the facility. One of the first phases of work will be to demolish the existing buildings within the project site, after the tenants have been relocated; these buildings are accessed by Chemical Way. To best coordinate the construction project, including the early efforts of relocation and demolition, it is most efficient for the Sheriff's staff and the construction managers to be located near the project site. Additionally, it is important from a construction perspective to also have the general contractor located proximate to both the job site and the construction management team.
