Staff Report for a City of San Leandro City Council Resolution to Accept the Public Improvements at 2000 Marina Boulevard (Overton Moore Properties dba 2000 Marina LLC)

 

Staffreport

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 

A new industrial building has been constructed at 2000 Marina Boulevard.  The developer entered into a Public Improvement Agreement to guarantee completion of new public improvements to support the development and integrate it into the City infrastructure.  These public improvements include:

 

                     10-feet of road widening along the north side of Marina Boulevard for approximately 911 feet consistent with the City’s adopted Plan Line;

                     Reconstruction of sidewalks and curb ramps;

                     Undergrounding of overhead utilities;

                     Installation of new streetlights and street trees;

                     Installation of new storm drain and sanitary sewer connections; and

                     New pavement markings including those that approach the railroad crossing on westbound Marina Boulevard.

 

Staff recommends the acceptance of the work by the developer, Overton Moore Properties dba 2000 Marina LLC, authorizing the City Manager to release the Performance and Labor and Materials bonds, and upon completion to the satisfaction of the City Engineer of the one-year warranty period, to release the Maintenance Bond for the subject project.

 

BACKGROUND

 

The City approved redevelopment of the former Georgia Pacific gypsum plant at 2000 Marina Boulevard in 2018.  The approval allowed construction of a 297,200 square foot industrial building on the 13-acre parcel.  The developer, Overton Moore Properties dba 2000 Marina LLC, entered into a Standard Public Improvement Agreement dated July 12, 2018, that guaranteed improvements to the property’s roadway frontage consistent with the City’s adopted Master Plan of City Streets.  The master plan required a 10-foot right-of-way dedication and roadway widening, thus necessitating the undergrounding of overhead utilities together with other ancillary improvements such as new storm drainage systems, sidewalks and streetlights.  The right-of-way was conveyed via an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication recorded as Series No. 2018074252 on April 13, 2018 at the Alameda County Recorder’s Office.

 

Analysis

 

The public improvements required of 2000 Marina LLC according to the Standard Public Improvement Agreement are now complete and ready for acceptance. The work was inspected and found in compliance with City standards. The Performance Bond and Labor and Materials Bond, each in the amount of $1,235,505.26 (Bond No. 024072489), can now be released.  A Maintenance Bond issued by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company (Bond No. 024235372) in the amount of $123,550.53 will guarantee the improvements during the required one-year warranty period in the event latent defects are discovered.
