BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION In May 2011, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) awarded the City a $600,000 grant to complete a Station Area Specific Plan (SASP) and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Downtown Area. The study area includes land approximately between Linden Avenue to the north and Commercial Avenue to the south, and Spruce Avenue to the west and Gateway Boulevard to the east (Study Area Map attached). The purpose of the SASP & EIR is to provide the City with the planning tools necessary to: Connect the Downtown station study area, including the employment on the east side of Hwy 101 with the mix of uses on the west side by evaluating and approving an enhanced pedestrian, bicycle and bus network; Achieve sustainability goals through policy and development standards; Achieve economic development success for the study area using financial feasibility analysis; Staff Report Subject: Downtown Station Area Specific Plan & Environmental Impact Report December 14, 2011 Page 2 of 2 Reduce vehicle miles traveled by improving connectivity and access to transit in the study area; and Enable opportunities for transit-oriented development (TOD), and especially affordable housing. Once notified about the grant, staff began the process of selecting a consultant to manage the project. City staff issued a Request for Proposal in August and received seven (7) proposals. After a thorough review of the proposals and a process that included interviewing the top five (5) firms, City and Association of Bay Area Government (ABAG) staff are recommending that Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with BMS Design Group to manage and complete the Downtown SASP & EIR project. FUNDING The project is included in current fiscal year Operating Budget with $600,000 funded by the grant and $120,000 match funded by Redevelopment Agency, bringing the total funds attributable to this work to $720,000. CONCLUSION The Council has identified the Downtown as a priority development area (PDA)and authorized staff to seek grant funding to aide in formation of a Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report. To facilitate this work, staff recommends that Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign the grant funding agreement with MTC; accept the $600,000 grant; and approve selection of BMS Design Group, as the lead consultant to prepare the Downtown SASP & EIR.
