DESCRIPTION: At the March 20, 2001 meeting the City Council originally
considered the RFP for Emerald Glen Park Phase 2. At that time the Council agreed to defer issuing the
RFP for this phase of Emerald Glen Park for a minimum of 30 days in order to look at the San Jose Sharks
proposal. The San Jose Sharks subsequently withdrew their proposal and it is appropriate to move
forward with Phase 2 at this time.
In addition, Phase 2 of Emerald Glen Park was identified in the 2001-2002 Annual Budget that was adopted
by City Council in June of 2001. This phase of Emerald Glen Park will include the design for the entry
comer into the Eastern Dublin area. This prominent comer is at the intersection of Tassajara Road and
Central Parkway and is the first civic feature in the newly developed area. The approved Master Plan
shows this area as including a small lake and water feature, gazebo and sculpture garden. In conjunction
with this comer additional temporary gravel parking will be provided near the children's area. Families
are currently using the comer of the park for temporary parking to access the play area. Upon completion
of the lake, this area will no longer be available and street parking is not allowed on Central Parkway.
The Park Master Plan also identified a small maintenance facility in the Northwest comer of the park near
the creek. The facility would provide space for maintenance equipment and materials that are used on a
regular basis at the park. The area is approximately one-quarter acre in size and would house such items
as tractors, irrigation equipment, bark, etc. Both the parking and the maintenance facility have been
included in the overall project budget.
Itis the recommendation of Staff that the City Council take the following action;
1. Authorize Staff to issue RFP.
