File Number: 23-243 this library has hosted an educational program that highlights the annual return of the butterflies. It is the intent of the library’s design to accommodate the continuation of this highly regarded educational program and potentially add outdoor site features that strengthen this unique environmental learning experience. In 2018, Noll & Tam Architects was selected, through a competitive process, as the firm to provide design services for the replacement of the Mulford-Marina Branch Library. Design of the replacement library commenced in 2019 and progressed through the Schematic Design phase and included public engagement. Toward the end of 2019, the schedule for the Shoreline Development became uncertain, impacting the availability of library construction funding. In early 2020, without confirmed construction funding, the design effort was paused. In 2022, the City applied for, and was successfully awarded, a $4,079,701 grant from the California State Library, Building Forward Library Infrastructure Grant Program. Additionally, the San Leandro Library Foundation intends to contribute $800,000 toward the project. Analysis The grant terms require an equal local fund match. The increased budget allows for a larger, approximately 3,600 square foot library building. The library interior design will be updated to accommodate new uses derived from experiences learned during the COVID-19 era. The increased compensation included in Amendment No. 3 with Noll & Tam Architects represents hourly rate increases from 2019 to 2023 plus additional effort for added scope including grant application support work, design of a larger building, and updated interior library uses. The original 2019 CSA term was set to expire on June 30, 2020. Amendment No. 1 extended the term to December 31, 2021. Amendment No. 2 further extended the term to June 30, 2023. Amendment No. 3 will extend the term until December 31, 2026. Approval of CSA Amendment No. 3 with Noll & Tam Architects will ensure the complete design of the replacement Mulford-Marina Branch Library Project.
