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.
