On October 23, 2020, a key milestone was reached on the Community Civic Campus Project with the completion of design and bidding for the new Library, Parks & Recreation and Community Theater/Council Chamber (LPR). Following the submittal of the project for a building permit on April 10, 2020, the bid package was completed and advertised on September 4, 2020.

City Staff staff received and publicly opened (via teleconference due to San Mateo County Covid-19 protocols) four responsive bids from Hensel Phelps Construction Co., Skanska USA Building Inc., Swinerton Builders, and Webcor Construction LP dba Webcor. After further review of all the bids, city staff determined the lowest responsible bidder was Swinerton Builders of San Francisco, California.

At the November 9, 2020 City Council meeting, city staff recommended to City Council acceptance of Swinerton Builders base bid of $75,608,971.00 and all Additive Alternates (alternates 1-5) that total $5,764,000.00. City will hold $10,000,000.00 for construction related contingency and thus a total hard (construction) cost of $91,372,971.00

Update: Aug. 2018

On August 22, 2018, City Council unanimously approved the Concept Masterplan(PDF, 2MB) for the new Community Civic Campus project.  Immediately following Council’s approval, the design team was directed to proceed with developing the schematic design of the new campus buildings.

Schematic design is the first design phase where design options are explored that illustrate the general scope, scale and relationship of project components.  Over the next four (4) months, the SmithGroup team will advance the design of the Library & Recreation Building, Police, and Fire Stations, as well as campus site.  Each building will be analyzed based on the technical aspects of the site, preferred spatial adjacencies, building circulation, building systems and material aesthetics.  The SmithGroup will present design options to obtain further input on stakeholder preferences. Once the design parameters are established, the team will advance the preferred scheme and develop the building geometry, site orientation, floor plans and building elevations. 

The City encourages you to stay involved in this exciting project and continue to visit this website for more updates.
