RECOMMENDATION:

Support the Temporary Parking Lot project in the amount of $1,610,400 and add the project to Natividad Medical Center capital project list.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Resource Management Agency - Public Works is progressing with the Jail House Addition and new Juvenile Hall projects, which are located on the back side of the Natividad Medical Center’s (NMC) campus. These projects are going to impact parking lot - M2 which serves as staff parking for Natividad Medical Center employees. Parking lot M2 will be removed and replaced with the new Jail House addition. NMC is collaborating with Public Works to install a gravel parking lot at the corner of Constitution and Campus Drive. The parking lot will accommodate displaced parking during the construction of the Jail House Addition until other accommodations are made for parking.
NMC has identified 370 parking spaces that will be displaced during the construction phase of the Jail House Addition and New Juvenile Hall projects. At the end of the construction phase NMC will regain 258 parking spaces (overall loss of 112 parking spaces). In order for NMC to have adequate parking for patients and visitors, an additional parking lot is required. As time is of the essence (the Jail House Addition project is projected to start in second quarter Fiscal Year 2017), Public Works proposed to construct a temporary parking lot composed of gravel, security fencing, and solar lighting. The cost to construct the temporary parking lot (370 parking spaces) is estimated at $1,610,400, which includes design, construction, permitting, and project management fees. NMC desires for this parking lot to have asphalt in the future, but recognizes that the work involved (Stormwater Management Plan, Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Geotechnical Survey) will not be completed in time for the commencement of the Jail House Addition project. In the future NMC would then like to work with a civil engineer to construct a permanent parking lot in the footprint of the temporary lot. The gravel substrate will serve as the foundation of the permanent parking lot.
NMC requests approval of Parking Lot - M2 capital funding in the amount of $1,610,400 for the Temporary Parking Lot project.
