Chapman said the project was funded in FY2025 with certificates of obligation. The solicitation schedule: release Feb. 6; pre-submittal conference Feb. 17; political-contribution blackout begins Feb. 20; questions due Feb. 24; proposals due March 24; evaluation complete May 26; contract negotiations June 2026; Audit Committee post-solicitation briefing in August and City Council contract award targeted for Sept. 26 with a September contract start.
Committee members praised the project, noted community design input during the design phase and asked staff to keep neighbors informed as the solicitation proceeds. Chapman said staff will return to the committee with evaluation results and a post-solicitation briefing prior to council consideration.
