Discussion and action, resolution 302023. Director kaslofsky. Thank you madam secretary. Commissioners, members of the public. This item is authorizing the amendment to contract with cmg Landscape Architect from twentd 11. The contract evolved to respond to the project needs of the various park and Infrastructure Projects in transbay. The contract increase of 4. 9 million made new money plus using unused money in the contract. Thank you for introduction executive director kaslofsky. Good afternoon chair brackett, commissioners and commissioner. Once again, ben brandon transbay project manager and will be presenting the update of ocii design contract with cmg Landscape Architect for continued work on the underramp work project. Specifically, staff is requesting the Commission Authorization of aminded and restated contract with cmg Landscape Architect to increase funding by 4. 9 million, establishing a not to exceed total Contract Value of just over 8. 5 million. The amended contract will close out the completed infrastructure scopes from the original cmg design contract and additional money and updated underramp park scope enable cmg and subconsultant to complete design, engineering and Construction Administration for the project. Before you now is a map of the 40 acre transbay redevelopment project area split into two zones. Ocii oversees the 10 acre that comprise zone one och the project area. The boundaries of which are highlighted by the dashed red line on the map. Zone 2 falls under the Planning Department jurisdiction and approximately 2. 5 acre under ramp park circled here in yellow straddles both of the project areas. The park is located on land owned by caltrans and trans bay joint Power Authority or tjpa. It has been designed to serve transbay residents local Office Workers and visitors. Under ramp park includes a wide range of Program Elements including a large dog park, informal play areas, walking and biking paths, sports courts, community space, and concession and folsom pavilion which offer casual dining and drinking. The Commission Approved the park Schematic Design this past june, and approval of this amended and restated contract allow the cmg design team to move into Design Development phase. Here we have a birds eye view of the park and highlight the locations of the notable Program Elements i just mentioned. Item 12, at the bottom of the screen is the multisports court moving north across folsom, the folsom pavilion. 8 identify the bike and pedestrian path that run the length of the park western edge. Item 7 above to the right is location of the dog park and to the left item 4, concession garden open seating area which is next to the concession building. Here we have a perspective view looking into the lower story of the folsom pavilion and lawn area. And this is a view of the concession seating area under the oculous which is circular opening of the tjpa bus turn around. You see the concession building which was previously located on transbay block 5 prior to development of that site. Ocii work on under ramp park dates back to 2011 when the former Redevelopment Agency entered into design contract with cmg, which covered design and construction support for the folsom street Improvement Project and under ramp park and Schematic Design. In 2013, the Commission Approved the Schematic Design for folsom street and Concept Design for under ramp park. A year later in 2014, submitted completed under ramp park Schematic Design to staff, but soon after the project was placed on three year hold while ocii negotiated key project provisions with caltrans for usef the property within the park site. During the time of these negotiations with caltrans, that agency reviewed the park draft Schematic Design and identify specific changes. By 2017ocii and caltrans agreed to turchl terms of the lease to direct cmg and design team to begin a new under ramp park conspt and Schematic Designs. In 2018 finalized and submitted to staff revised Schematic Design for the park, when the project hit yet another delay. That september, 2018 just as staff was readying the Schematic Design for approval by the commission and tjpa board discovered fishers in the newly open sales force Transit Center. Informed ocii it could not prioritize the project and requesting to suspend work on the project early 2021 approved work to resume. Ocii directed cmg to update the Schematic Design by incorporated a art deco pavilion into the project. In late 2022, cmg submitted the updated Schematic Design for the park to ocii, tjpa and caltrans for review and the commission and tjpa board approved the Schematic Design this past june. The design Team Includes cmg and six subconsultants. The other primary consultants are airp engineering term, [indiscernible] architect of the two New Buildings in the park. Of the seven firms comprising the team, [indiscernible] martin ron and associates the surveyors are both Small Business enterprises. Cmg was previously a Small Business enterprise but graduated out of the program in 2015. As mentioned earlier, 2011ocii entered into 2. 5 Million Contract with cmg. To lead the design of the folsom street scape under ramp park. Since then the original contract has been amended four times to expand the scope of folsom street and under ramp project beyond what was covered in the original contract. Added 3. 5 million to the contract. The Fourth Amendment was the most substantial monetary increase adding 1. 55 million. That amendment was also specific to under ramp park in that it added new scope per caltrans required change to the Schematic Design and expanded design and development and construction documents phases due to the increase size and complexity. However much of the scope and money was never drawn upon due to the project being placed on hold between 2018 and 2021. This proposed updated amended design contract is again specific. The restated contract closes out the projects entirely leaving only under ramp park as the loan active project. The key scope additions include, repricing the remaining scope items from the fourkt amendment in 2023 dollars. New required caltrans and tjpa safety and engineering studies as well as additional Design Review by each of those agencies. Expansion of the Design Development and construction documents phases. Due to more complex designs of the concession and folsom pavilion buildings. The amended contract will add permitting coordination that the subconsultants and cmg will perform. Construction Administration Services which were neither covered by the original contract nor the previous amendments. Signage design. Meeting coordination with the future operator and 11 percent design contingency. The original contract as amended totals just under 6 million. But of that amount, 2. 35 million remains unspent. About 2. 6 million in new scope is added through this proposed amendment. The updated scope for cmg and subconsultants to complete the under ramp park project is 4. 9 million. And this is the total amount that will be drawn down through completion of construction. Since this is a amended and restated design contract, when the 4. 9 million increase is added to 3. 6 million spent to date, under the original contract and previous amendments, we arrive at new total Contract Value of nearly 8. 5 million. The original contract including its previous 4 amendments achieved maximum of 27 percent Small Business enterprise participation. The new amended contract is projected to achieve 24 percent sbe participation. While these percentages fall short of ocii 50 percent goal for the contracts, the numbers do not tell the whole story. Cmg was a sbe firm until 2015. After which the company graduated from the program. Therefore, cmg service between 2011 and 2015 count towards sbe participation. Cmg post 2015 fee for service as well as scope within this updated and amended design contract are not counted towards sbe dollars. If cmg was still a sbe the participation percent would be 62 percent. Still, cmg is committed bringing on sbe partners when a new scope consultant was needed. Ya studio, a San Francisco minority owned business is a example. When the under ramp apark project expanded to include buildings there was need for architect. Looked to the pool of architects and hired. Additionally, over the last 8 years, both cmg and ya studios participated in ocii professional Training Program for architectture and engineering students. They trained 7 local architecter students from city college and San Francisco state university. With approval of this contract amendment, cmg is targeting early 2025 to complete the construction documents. At that time ocii pursue the bond issuance the fund the project construction. The park will be constructed over a two year period and we anticipate it being completed by late 2027 or early 2028. With me today in the audience are representatives from cmg, ya studio and airp.
