BACKGROUND
On October 17, 2006, the City Council received a progress report on the Stevens Creek
Corridor Project to consider alternatives to the project scope, budget and schedule. The
Council approved the scope of the project as Phase I to include a trail system to be
constructed from McClellan Ranch through Blackberry Farm.
Along' with the trail, the original scope for the Phase I Project also included the
construction or reconstruction of several structures including an environmental classroom,
a new golf course maintenance building with restrooms for the patrons of the golf course, a
new entry kiosk, picnic facilities, and some minor upgrades to the existing 4-H facilities.
It also included the realignment, cleanup, removal of fish passage barriers including all
three low flow crossings and landscape work for Stevens Creek, as well as the demolition
and reconstruction of picnic and other areas in Blackberry Farm and the construction of the
Stevens Creek Trail system from McClellan Ranch through Blackberry. Farm.
Environmental Classroom
It should be noted that the work on the creek and other areas in the Reach C area (northerly
portion at the Stocklemeir home and orchard to Stevens Creek Boulevard) is not included
in this phase but is to be provided for in a future Phase II project (see attached diagram}. In
addition, while the .Environmental Classroom is a desired feature to be included in the
park, it is only funded by a $251,000 grant from State Proposition 50 Bonds and additional
funding of at least $1,000,000 will be required. As such, it is not included in the Phase I
project scope and will be included in the fund raising efforts for Phase II, which will begin
in FY 2008-2009.
Scone and Progress of the Design and Bid Documents
In addition to other actions noted above on October 17, 2006, the Council authorized the
City Manager to negotiate and execute Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with HNTB
Corporation, not to exceed $975,000 for completion of architectural design, civil design,
project management, and construction related management services for the bid, award and
construction of Phase I of the Stevens Creek Corridor Park Project and extended the term
of the agreement from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2010 and provided an amount
not to exceed $50,000 for additional services to be approved as necessary by the Director
of Public Works for a total contract amount of $1,575,000.
In accordance with the approved schedule, the design effort was suspended for 6 months,
and was reinitiated in April 2007 and managed by the Parks and Recreation~Department.
The Council specifically approved the funding for HNTB work on the entire Phase I scope
but reserved consideration of final approval until such time as the construction PS&E
(Plans, Specification and Estimates) was sufficiently completed to identify the final cost of
the project before proceeding with the bidding process. In anticipation of that occurring in
early 2008, the Council approved a General Fund addition to the FY 2007-2008 budget of
$6,236,000 and an addition to the FY 2008-2009 Budget of $1,000,000.
1,1 - 2
McClellan Ranch Project
In the swnmer of 2007, certain work at McClellan Ranch was separated from the main
project and proceeded in the summer and fall of 2007 under the Parks and Recreation
Department with a Federal Land and Water Conservation Crrant in collaboration with the
San Jose Conservation Corps. This work is almost complete and includes the relocation of
4-H facilities, reconstruction of the pole barn, and the installation of interpretive signage
and construction of a portion of the Trail within McClellan Ranch. A portion of the Creek
project funding ($ 490,000) was transferred to the McClellan project for trail and other
work at McClellan Ranch that needed to be done ahead of the main project.
Project and Construction Management Transition
Once the Phase I project had successfitlly reached the critical stage of preparation for
engineering and construction, the management plan for the project had always been for a
management transition of the project from the Parks and Recreation Department to the
Department of Public Works during the construction documentation, bidding, and
construction phases. In January 2008 that transition was put into effect by the City
Manager. The Director of Public Works and staff begani to develop the project PS&E for
bidding and construction.
During the course of that effort in January and February of 2008, several issues relating to
the restoration and realignment work on the Stevens Creek channel azose and were
identified by the staff as significant risks to the success of the project both in the schedule
and completion of construction. The issues were of significant enough concern to warrant
reconsideration of the schedule, phasing and construction details of that aspect of the
project.
Construction Mara ement CMS
In the early stages of the development of the design team and project scope of work, it was
always contemplated that the services of an outside construction management firm would
be acquired for the construction of Phase I. The original estimate of this work in 2006 was
$200,000. However, in light of the fact that the project has been separated into two
individual bid packages and other demands and complexities that have arisen during the
constructability review, it has been deemed essential that a higher level of service from an
independent construction manager be relied upon during construction. The current estimate
of these costs is now $575,000 and is included in the proposed budget for the project.
Swinerton Management & Consulting was interviewed and was deemed most qualified in
the selection process for CM services in mid 2007. Swinerton will dedicate a CM team
with direct and relevant experience in creek and environmental restoration work that will
work hand in hand with HNTB's design team members who also have significant creek
and environmental construction experience. This combination will provide the City with
high quality construction phase management with a clear sepazation of design quality
assurance from any potential of construction issue resolution.
11 -3
The recommendations in this report include additional project phasing and a review of the
project budget necessary to complete Phase I of the Stevens Creek Pazk Corridor Project.
All of the implications of these issues and the recommendations to resolve them must now
be carefully considered to assure that the timing, completion and final outcome and
appearance of the project will be able to meet the expectations of the Council and the
Community.
ANALYSIS
As has been noted before, this particulaz project is extremely complex with various types
of work spread over a large area of the park, including a variety of permits to be sought by
staff and the consultants. At the point of the transfer of responsibility for project
construction to the Public Works Department in January of 2008 as noted above, a
comprehensive review of the project scope, estimate, schedule and constructability was
begun and was completed in February, 2008.This effort was completed in preparation for
this report to the City Council in anticipation of advertising the project for competitive
bidding and award of the contracts for construction.
Construction Phasing - Phase I-A (Creek) and Phase I-B (Park and Trail)
The project breaks down into two discrete scopes of work that aze very different types of
construction not easily combined into one construction contract.
The first of these two scopes includes all the work of realigning and restoring a segment of
Stevens Creek through Horseshoe Bend adjacent to the west picnic area, . includes a new
bridge over the creek to the west picnic area. This work has been designated Phase I-A. .
The other scope of work includes all the work of constructing the trail from McClellan
Ranch up the east side of the creek where the existing golf maintenance building (to be
demolished) is located_ In addition this phase will demolish certain other facilities and
construct a new 800 person capacity picnic area on the west side of Stevens Creek,. a golf
maintenance building with"restrooms for the golfers, a new entry kiosk, upgrades to the
pool electrical system and a new parking lot with a "green" engineered surface and solar
panels on~ the maintenance building along with other site work and landscaping. A
summary description of the Installation of Solaz Panels and the "Green" Engineering of the
Parking Lot is provided in Attachment `C'. This work has been designated as Phase I-B.
The reasons that staff opted to separate these two scopes of work were essentially timing
and bidding like work for contractors #o efficiently price their bids. First, Phase I-A is
severely constrained by the limitations by various agencies on allowable times to work in
the creek, i.e., from June 15 to October I S and the other work is not.
Secondly, the two phases are completely different types of. work: the creek work is
typically done by civil engineering contractors and the park and trail work are usually done
by building contractors. To combine the two would be costly and inefficient and would
likely limit the field of bidders. An analogy would be to attempt to bid a project that
includes both a freeway interchange and the construction of a library to the same general
contractor.

The current project budget is provided from previous years and from the Adopted 2007-
2008 Five-Yeaz Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and is summarized as follows:
Prior City General Funds $ 601,000

Total $ 1,300,000
?-5
Several individual project components have either increased or decreased in cost as the
scope of the project became more refined and the design and cost estimates more precise.
However, the main source of the increase is. almost entirely attributable to the need to
completely reconstruct the parking lot using eco-friendly surfaces and the installation of
the solar panels on the golf maintenance building. Neither of these elements was in the
original scope of the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of the situation as it currently exists would be to utilize the funding for
unspecified "Green" projects to pay for the solar panels and a portion of the
environmentally enhanced parking lot, and to shift funds from the proposed Lawrence-
Mitty Park to the Stevens Creek Park. The Lawrence-Nifty Park is unlikely to develop to a
stage of acquisition in FY 07-08. However, the balance of funds ($165,000) could be
available to conduct appraisals and do some preliminazy site planning for the proposed
P~'k-
The positive impact is that no funding from the CIl' Reserve would be required. The
current balance of approximately $ 2.6 Million can be retained for the Council's future
consideration of the Lawrence-Nifty Park or other worthy projects. It will also be
important to maintain the reserve as a hedge against the still volatile bidding environment
for both Phases I-A and I-B

Stevens Creek Corridor Park and Stream Restoration
"Green" Design & Construction Elements
The Stevens Creek Corridor improvements project incorporates a variety of environmentally
friendly design elements. AI#hough the Green Building Council's LEED certification process
does not apply to projects of this type, the design responds to the "green" building goals in
the manner described below.
PARKING AREA
The current parking lot is made of asphalt. The paving extends all the way to the creek bank,
and there are no trees or plantings within the parking lot. The pavement is at the end of i#s
use life and has extensive failures. The tot is sized #o handle up to 900 vehicles.
The proposed parking area is divided into ayear-round lot and asummer-season lot. The
new parking will have the following environmental advantages:
• Constructed of pervious surfacing material
• Drains to a vegetated bioswale
• Allows natural infiltration of rainwater and natural cleansing through percolation
• Helps recharge the aquifer
• .Greatly reduces runoff to the creek and will protect creek water quali#y
• Includes trees and planter beds within the parking area for natural cooling and
aesthetic improvement
• Is made of non-petroleum-based, environmentally-friendly products
• Substantially reduces the parking area footprint
• Provides a buffer of plantings between the parking lot and the creek
The year-round parking lot has the following features:
• Located at the entry to the pools, picnic area and trail
• Made of pervious, ail-weather material suitable for winter and wet-weather use
• Contains fully accessible parking stalls at the entry
• Provides 60 parking spaces
The summer season parking !ot has the following features:
• Uses "meadow" grasses supported by turf rings suitable for vehicle loading
• Open during the 100-day picnic season at Blackberry Farm
• Replaces asphalt with a green meadow area
• Is compatible with the adjacent creek and can serve as a natural floodplain as
needed
• Eliminates the urban "heat-island" effect caused by large expanses of traditional
paving
• Improves the visitor experience and neighbors' viewsheds with an attractive expanse
of grasses and plantings
• Provides approximately 250 festival-style parking spaces
GOLF MAINTENANCE BUILDING SOLAR PANELS
The new golf maintenance building will provide storage for golf.sourse equipment and
accommodate light maintenance activity. It will also include a public restroom for golfers.
Although LEED standards are oriented toward occupied structures such as office buildings
and there is no certifcation category for this type of structure, the building uses 'green' design
elements including:
• Low-flow toilet fixtures in restroom
~~-~o
• Fluorescent light fixtures
• Skylights to take advantage of natural light .
• Structure made of metal, which can be recycled
• Maintenance yard includes a system to capture grass clipping washoff from mowers
• Moves the golf maintenance function out of the flood plain
• Solar panels proposed.for roof
The roof of the new maintenance building is well suited for use. of solar panels to generate
electricity. It has a very good sun orientation, and adequate distance from nearby trees that
would cause shading problems. A solar panel system is recommended as follows:
• Use panels that produce about 10 watts per square foot
• Install on the south-facing portion of the roof
• System provides approximately 13,600 kilowatt-hours annually {8,000 watts AC) of
power
• More than offsets the new golf maintenance building power use, even assuming all-
electric equipment in the future
• Provides extra power that can be used to offset operating requirements at Blackberry
Farm and reduce electricity bills
• Saves approximately $1,850 in electricity costs the first year
Various other elements of the project design are environmentally friendly. Some the "green"
elements are:
• Use of locally-native plants that require minimal watering and minimal maintenance
• Selection of native plants that provide improved wildlife habitat
• Use of "bio-technical" methods to stabilize the creek banks and channel--use of logs
and boulders instead of concrete, riprap, and secrete
• Habitat improvements including removal of barriers to fish passage for steelhead and
improved spawning and rearing habitat
• Re-use on-site material to the extent feasible
o Use removed topsoil elsewhere on site for plantings
' o Place gravels exgavated from the new channel location in the new creek bed
o Use removed tree #runks in the new channel as slope stabilization elements
and "fish furniture"
o Restore and reuse existing picnic tables
o Use existing asphalt driveway paving for circulation routes in lieu of
constructing new paving '
