BACKGROUND
The Related Santa Clara project (formerly known as City Place) is a 9.1 million square foot development on a former all-purpose landfill site. There are various local and state agencies that are charged with the oversight of a closed landfill. City staff and Related Santa Clara (Developer) have been working closely with these agencies to secure necessary approvals and permits to allow for the future construction of the project. One such agency is the County Department of Environmental Health who acts as the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) on the closed landfill. The LEA has been reviewing technical plans associated with structural elements of the Related Santa Clara project as well as potential impacts to the condition of the landfill and gas collection system which may result from the development.
The Related Santa Clara project is a complex, multi-faceted development project that requires significant technical expertise beyond City and other regulatory agencies' staff knowledge on matters related to the landfill as well as disciplines in other areas.
At the request of the LEA, the City has entered into several third-party consulting agreements with the LEA's preferred consultants to assist LEA with their work associated with the Related Santa Clara Development Project. These contracts are funded by Related Santa Clara (Developer), through advances provided to the City as required by the June 2016 Disposition and Development Agreement. The requested action is for an increase in total contract amounts for two professional service agreements.
