Based on the availability of Park Impact Fee Reimbursement funds, an amendment to the Park and Recreation Impact Fee Reimbursement Agreement may be presented to Council at a future meeting. Alternative Action The Council may choose not to award the bid for the project and provide staf�with alternate direction. This action could put the City of Redding (City) in default of the terms of Park Impact Fee Reimburselnent Agreement; the project would not be constructed as designed; the grant funding would be lost and predevelopment, design and bidding costs would have to be paid by the City. Background/Analysis When Market Street was extended south beyond Tehama Street, the green lawns between the Shasta College building and From the Hearth were removed. The Block 7 Development Team, the City and Shasta College agreed that adding green space back to the area was consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan and the former Shasta College parking lot was a good location to create open space with a park. On January 18, 2022, the City Council authorized an application in collaboration with The McConnell Foundation to the Clean California Local Grant Program for up to $5,000,000 to fund the park project. In March of 2022, the City was notified of the award at $3,889,480. In June 2022, Council approved a Park Dedication and Easement Agreement between the City and Shasta-Tehama-Trinity Joint Community College District for the purpose of developing a park. Community Services' staff worked in concert with the developers' design team and the Community Services Advisory Commission approved the park design. On August 2, 2022, the Council approved the Second Amendment to North Block Parking Project that added Exhibit 10, Park and Recreation Facilities Impact Fee Reimbursement Agreement with Block 7 Retail Investors, LLC, for the construction of a Downtown Park P1aza. The Agreement allowed for reimbursement of park development impact fees up to $780,000 for the park and for the developer to administer the Clean California grant awarded to the project. Attached is a tabulation of bids received and opened on July 28, 2023, for the project. The low bid in the amount of $3,985,883 was received from SnL Group of Redding, California. The engineer's estimate was $2,000,000. The bid prices reflect signi�cant increases in material costs and specialty items due to high inflation. Tota1 project development costs for this project are estimated to be $350,000. Project development costs include engineering, surveying, right-of- way, environmental, consultant services, and permit and utility connection fees. The project consists of the construction of a public park at 1470 Market St, Redding CA 96001. The project will include landscaping, irrigation, a fog misting system, walking path, boulders, lighting and a pavilion. Report to Redding City Council August 30,2023 Re: 9.2(b)--Award Bid, Downtown Plaza Park Page 3 EnviNonmental Review Staff has reviewed the project and determined that it is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, per 15300.1 — Relation to Ministerial Projects. Section 15300.1 cites Section 21080 of the Public Resources Code as exempting those projects over which public agencies exercise only ministerial authority. The proposed park & recreation facility is allowed by right in the Downtown Core zoning district under the Downtown Specific Plan. This means that construction of the project would only require a building permit. Since approval of building permits is ministerial and not discretionary, CEQA does not apply to the construction of this project. Council Priority/City Manager Goals � Government of the 21st Century — "Be relevant and proactive to the opport�unities and challenges of today's residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better decisions today." • Economic Development — "Facilitate and become a catalyst for economic development in Redding to create jobs, retain current businesses and attract new ones, and encourage investment in the community."
