VIDEO. From the Half Moon Bay City Council meeting on Tuesday, November 19th, 2024 at 7:00pm, as a hybrid meeting. Consent Agenda #1L and Staff Report and attachments.
Staff Recommendation: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 3 to the Professional Services Agreement with SWCA, Inc. (SWCA) for additional cultural and paleontological services for the John L. Carter Park Improvements Project (Project), increasing the contract amount by
$58,477, for a total contract amount not to exceed $119,145.
DISCUSSION
On June 11, 2024, City staff was notified by the contractors that a cultural artifact was found on
the project site during construction. As a condition of approval for the coastal development
permit for this project, the contactors are required to stop work, notify the Community
Development Director, and retain a qualified archaeologist to perform an archaeological
reconnaissance, and identify any mitigation measures required to protect archaeological
resources if subsurface historic or archaeological resources are uncovered during construction.
All necessary steps were followed, and work has continued soon after the cultural artifact was
discovered.
It was recommended by SWCA, Inc. that, due to the artifact findings, a cultural resources
specialist be onsite during all remaining ground disturbing activities. With this
recommendation, additional services and expenses are needed in order to complete the
project.
Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 3 to
the Professional Services Agreement with SWCA, Inc. for additional cultural and paleontological
services for the John L. Carter Park Improvements Project, increasing the contract amount by
$58,477, totaling a contract amount not to exceed $119,145.
BACKGROUND
The Parks Master Plan adopted by the City Council on February 5, 2019, identified John L.
Carter Memorial Park (Carter Park) as an opportunity to increase community recreation at an
underutilized City Park. The design for the John L. Carter Park Improvements Project (Project)
includes a new performing arts amphitheater including terraced seating, a performance stage
with storage space and changing room, a children’s play area, picnic area, restroom and
concession stand building, park access improvements, landscaping, lighting, and utility
improvements.
On April 19, 2022, the City Council approved the award of a construction contract to Wickman
Development and Construction of San Francisco, California, in the bid amount of $4,971,000
and a construction contingency amount of 15% ($745,650) (Resolution C-2022-21), as well as contracts for biological monitoring and material testing and inspection services from qualified
professionals, SWCA, Inc. (Resolution No. C-2022-22), in the amount of $35,079, and Bay Area
Geotechnical Group, in the amount of $115,415 (Resolution No. C-2022-23), respectively.
On May 16, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. C-2023-31 that authorized the City
Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with SWCA, Inc.
for additional biological and environmental services for the Project increasing the contract
amount by $25,589, for a total contract amount of $60,668.
On February 20, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. C-2024-10 authorizing the
transfer of $1,250,000 from various Capital Improvement Projects to the Project due to
escalated costs related to delays and other unanticipated changes. The approved budget
increase also provided a contingency of approximately $622,000 for the remainder of
construction.
On April 3, 2024, City staff administratively entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Professional
Services Agreement with SWCA, Inc. that only extended the time of performance of the
contract.
