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.
The City has entered into several third-party consulting agreements to assist with the work associated with the Related Santa Clara Development Project. The terms of three (3) separate third-party consulting agreements expired on December 31, 2020 and one expired July 31, 2020. 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.
