Walton Arts Center Expansion + Renovation
Fayetteville, AR | 70,277 SF (incl. 15,502 SF Addition) Exhibit 3 Part 2
A response to the space constraints and heavy, closed-off aesthetic of the original 1992 facility, the new arts center is refined yet accessible, elevating the lively social interactions that take place around a performance. Seeking to engage the Center with downtown Fayetteville’s street life, the revitalization allowed the Bora team to reclaim the full potential of the original facility’s amenities like the Starr Theater, contributing to the Center’s overall transformation as a bustling, celebrated civic amenity.
As the seat of arts and culture in
Northwest Arkansas, the revitalized
Walton Arts Center is a welcoming,
inviting environment knit into its
surrounding community fabric and
showcases the vibrancy of the arts
within.
Garrison Theater / Performing Arts Center Renovation
Scripps College | Claremont, CA | 46,000 SF
Originally a movie theater, Bora
transformed it into a facility that aligned
with the historic campus’s language of
spatial intimacy and interior/exterior
connections and established a humanized
scale to make the space feel comfortable
and practical. Now, Garrison Theater
stands as a contemporary and invigorated
690-seat venue. Together, the new
center of the historic campus delivers
a significant holistic experience—truly
elevating the performing arts center
while also giving the music department a
celebrated new home.
Garrison Theater—Scripps College’s Performing
Arts Center—was reimagined with the help
of Bora; transforming the iconic, mid-century
theater building and its surrounding spaces to
bring students into the future.
Center for Visual + Performing Arts
Earlham College | Richmond, IN | 47,220 SF
Earlham College challenged Bora’s design
team to provide students with modern
facilities on a modest budget, in a way
that expresses the college’s unique
Quaker values. The project’s two primary
performance spaces, a 250-seat music
recital hall and a 125-seat black box
theater, exemplify versatility in service
to quality. Lingle Music Hall is a multi-
modal performance hall, rehearsal space,
hall, banquet hall, recording studio and
classroom—sometimes all in a single day.
Leveraging the co-location of diverse uses in a
single structure, Bora conceived of this building
as a ‘meeting house for the arts.’
Goode Theatre
Old Dominion University | Norfolk, VA | 25,000 SF
Originally conceived as a single addition to the Diehn Fine and Performing Arts building, this project evolved into something more:
Goode Theatre became the new free-standing building that was exactly what Old Dominion University needed. Housing a flexible studio theater, sound stage for student television productions, and scene shop, the new theater elevates the education experience for students. In final completion, the Goode Theatre features a 185- seat flexible stage facility with a fully equipped film soundstage.
A flexible performance space, the Goode
Theatre may be set up in a variety of
configurations, including a standard
proscenium theatre, thrust stage, or
arena seating.
Mesa Arts Center
Mesa, AZ | 210,000 SF
The center encompasses four theaters,
an arts education facility with 12 studios,
and a contemporary art museum all
clustered around a dramatic landscaped
oasis, creating a diverse, comprehensive
cultural complex. The 1,600-seat main
performance hall hosts local arts groups
and accommodates touring productions,
supporting everything from symphonic
orchestra to Broadway musicals, dance,
film and lectures. In a unique municipal
and academic partnership, the arts
education studios are jointly shared by the
city and community college.
The Mesa Arts Center is the largest arts complex
in the desert southwest, and a catalyst for urban
redevelopment and community pride.
Portland Center for the Performing Arts
Portland, OR | 222,000 SF (incl. 127,000 SF Addition)
Located on a two-block site, the award-winning Portland Center for the Performing Arts includes three national historic buildings.
Bora’s renovation included a 1928 historic movie theatre and a vaudeville house transformed into the elegant 2,776-seat Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. Also, the addition of the new theatre building housing three performance theaters. Integrated together by way of a through street, the two venues can be closed to traffic. Here the Center can host special outdoor events while also allowing patrons to mingle freely during intermission and after performances. Today, these venues host a variety of community activities.
A beloved cultural destination for
Portlanders offering venues for
contemporary music, opera, symphonies,
Broadways, and the dramatic arts that
moderates between a bustling downtown
neighborhood at its front door and a
leafy urban park to the west.
Thank You.

SELECT PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Baylands Railyard—Brisbane, CA
Project Manager . ENGEO is the geotechnical engineer of record for the approximately 200 acres redevelopment of the former railyard. The redevelopment will consist of mixeduse community with low to high density residential, retail, technology office campuses, new infrastructure, wetlands, and parks and open space. Building types are anticipated to consist of low to midrise podium structures. Furthermore, we understand that the project site is undergoing environmental remediation efforts prior to future development. The site is located in an infilled portion of the San Francisco Bay and is underlain by existing fill placed in the 1910s and soft, compressible Young Bay Mud. ENGEO performed a
geotechnical exploration at the site that quantified the proposed settlement of the Young Bay Mud and determined that the Liquefaction hazard was not as great as previously stated. The reduction of the Liquefaction haz ard led to the elimination of loose fill mitigation resulting in substantial project savings. ENGEO proposed various mitigation for the static settlement at the project site including a surcharge program, ground improvement, and deep foundations
depending on the proposed product type. ENGEO created a GIS portal that allowed the client to analysis the cost for different mitigation alternatives depending on the product type and site geology.
Baylands Landfill—Brisbane, CA
Project Manager . ENGEO is the geotechnical engineer of record for the approximately 320 acres redevelopment of the former landfill. The redevelopment will consist of 2.5 million square feet of commercial office life sciences laboratory and 90 acres dedicated to renewable energy generation and
storage area. Building types for the life sciences campus consist of midrise podium structures. Approximately 124

acres of open spaced along the waterfront will be provided for stormwater wetlands and the Bay Trail. The site is located in an infilled portion of the San Francisco Bay and is underlain by refuse and fill placed above soft, compressible Young Bay Mud prior to 1967. ENGEO performed a geotechnical exploration at the site for the design of the landfill closure plan. In addi tion, we prepared the Title 27 compliance landfill closure postclosure maintenance plan to support the closure of the landfill. We also designed an elaborate ground improvement program to mitigate settlement of the waste and Young Bay Mud to support future development of the site. Conceptual design of foundation for structures involved collaboration with the requirements established in the landfill closure plan.
Hunters Point Shipyard Phase 2/Candlestick Point Redevelopment—San Francisco, CA Senior Engineer. Leroy provided engineering design of the new infrastructure to be installed to serve the new redevelopment. Various deep sewer and water utilities are required for the backbone infrastructure that services this area. Construction in areas underlain by compressible Young Bay Mud and shallow groundwater condition requires special mitigation and coordination with the San Francisco Public Works. Leroy designed a comprehensive surcharge program to mitigate long term settlement along the utility corridors that services the entire project.
The project is nearly 800 acres and consists of 10,500 housing units, over 2 million square feet of commercial space, over 700,000 square feet of retail space, almost 400 acres of public parks and open space, and related supporting infrastructure improvements. Investigations for the site included drilling borings over water, in contaminated subsurface conditions, drilling inside Candlestick Park, drilling in an active housing development, and coordination with the Navy and the City of San Francisco. Geotechnical constraints include shoreline stability, liquefiable sands, high ground shaking, compressible Bay deposits, and existing improvements and utilities.
HPS
Blu Harbor Marina—Redwood City, CA
Project Manager. Bl
u Harbor was used as a marina with a restaurant, an RV repair yard and a storage yard. The project site is approximately 10acres in size surrounded by water channels that connect to the San Francisco Bay. Redevelopment includes 10 multifamily residential structures consisting of podiums and townhomes, a Texas wrap type building, and a recreation office building with swimming pools. Site grade is raised and designed for sealevel rise flood protection.
Pete's Harbor—Redwood City, CA
Senior E
ngineer. Leroy was the project manager for the highdensit y waterfront redevelopment.
He was responsible for designing the project edge containment system using a Deep Soil Mixing (DSM) technique to stabilize the waterfront of the project. This was coupled with a vinyl sheet pile hung beneath the seawall to provide an armoring of the DSM elements from wave erosion. He was instrumental in supporting the project team in leading the project through BCDC and City approval. He worked with a team to come up with a comprehensive design to mitigate longterm s
ettlement for site utilities and buildings. Leroy oversaw the QA program during construction of the DSM system that was used to stabilize the shoreline and support of the buildings over compressible and liquefiable soils. The project site is approximately 10acre s in size with 3,200
linear feet of waterfront surrounded by water channels that connect to the San Francisco Bay.
Redevelopment includes 10 multifam
ily residential structures consisted of podiums and
townhomes, a Texas wrap type building, and a recreation office building with swimming pools.
Site grade is raised to be designed for sealevel r
ise flood protection.
India Basin—San Francisco, CA
Project Manager. Leroy is overseeing the comprehensive ground improvement and foundation program for the redevelopment of the project site. He led a team in performing a finite modeling analysis of the shoreline to allow for optimization of the shoreline system which is the primary system used to minimize seismic lateral instability protecting the development. In addition, he worked with the team to design a massscale ground improvement program to reduce settlement risks of the site allowing for supporting future buildings on conventionally foundation. This resulted in millions of dollars in construction cost savings to the project. The India Basin project is located at the southeast quadrant of San Francisco. The approximately 15.5acre project is located along the San Francisco Bay waterfront and neighbor the historic Hunters Point Shipyard project. At completion the project include approximately 1,600 dwelling units, up to 210,000 square foot of retail space, and roughly 6 aces of open space. ENGEO is designing the geotechnical ground improvement systems that mitigate settlement and enhance the performance of the challenging soil condition to protect the development from seismic risks. A shoreline ground mitigation system with consideration of BCDC and development restriction was designed to optimize ground improvement to minimize lateral deformation of the shoreline. The ground improvement program is coordinated with the foundation systems that would be used to support tower buildings of up to 160 feet tall.
San Francisco International Airport On-call—San Francisco, CA Proj
ect Manager. Leroy coordinated and supervised various exploration programs for numerous capital improvement projects at the airport. He prepared the foundation design for the SFO Administrative Campus, l ongterm
parking Solar improvements, multi stor
y parking garage,
administrative buildings, and signature hangar. Several of the projects involved collaboration with the San Francisco Department of Public Works (SFPW) in the design of the deep foundation systems for the structures. During construction, he provided construction engineering for foundation construction and the load testing program.
San Ma
teo Bayfront Levee—San Mateo, CA
Proj
ect Engineer. Leroy served as project engineer and provided oversight during construction of the levee and flood wall protection system. The construction included installation of vinyl sheet pile cutoff walls and restoration of the Bay Trail. The continuous collaboration with the contractor during construction lead to the project finishing ahead of schedule and underbudget. The San Mateo Bayfront Levee Improvement project includes construction of over 2,000 feet of flood walls, reconstruction of several thousand feet of select sections of the bayfront levee system, and construction of belowgrade s
lurry wall cutoff s
tructures.

and emergency vehicle access. The site was marshland that was reclaimed in the 1920s for use as a ship terminal; more recently the site was used for storing shipping containers. An approximately 1,500-foot-long wharf forms the western shoreline of the approximately 25- acre site. The wharf was constructed in phases between the 1920s and 1960s and consists of concrete and timber decks supported by concrete and timber piles. Our analyses indicate that the shoreline will need to be stabilized to protect the development inland of the shoreline. We developed a ground improvement program using Deep Soil Mixing as the most economical means of shoreline stabilization. Our analyses included limit equilibrium slope stability analyses combined with 2 - dimensional numerical seismic modeling to estimate the potential deformations of the ground below the wharf and the kinematic loads on the wharf from slope movement. We also performed a ground response analysis using earthquake time histories to estimate the effect of the soft ground on the attenuation of earthquake loads.
Brooklyn Basin—Oakland, CA
Project Manager. As part of the evaluation of the existing wharf, Jeff performed a non -linear ground response analysis to develop a design spectra and time histories for performance-based analysis. This redevelopment of 65 acres of former Port of Oakland land is located adjacent to the Oakland Estuary and Jack London Square. The project will consist of a combination of low -, mid- and high- rise construction. The project also includes reusing a historic wharf structure, constructed in 1930, founded on a combination of wood and concrete piles. Working closely with the marine Structural Engineer, we have developed a performance -based analysis to evaluate structure performance during seismic loading and develop retrofit strategies. We also developed recommendations for grading, which includes raising the site to address future sea level rise, and for building foundations on soft ground. Geotechnical constraints include high seismicity, liquefiable sand, soft Bay deposits, and shoreline stability.
Seaport Centre Levees—Redwood City, CA
Principal Engineer . Jeff is providing technical oversite of analyses and report preparation for evaluation of the proposed levee improvements. Seaport Centre is protected by a series of levee structures including CMU block walls, berms, and roadway surfaces. The Seaport Centre Levee project consists of raising the levees to comply with potential future FEMA flood elevations. Proposed improvements include raising existing CMU walls and berms, as well as repairing existing minor defects in the levee structure. Project challenges include shallow groundwater, liquefaction potential, slope stability, and soft/compressible clays.

RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE
ALAMEDA POINT DEVELOPMENT
ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA
ENGEO has provided geotechnical, environmental, and storm water consulting services for various clients and phases of the redevelopment of the former Naval Air Station Alameda (Alameda Point). The former base, 1,526 acres of land, was originally a portion of the San Francisco Bay. The land was formed by placing fill behind a perimeter rock dike. Land was originally reclaimed by the bay in the late 1920s in support of an airport. In the late 1930s the majority of the land was reclaimed from the bay in support of construction of an air base for the Navy. The base was closed in 1997 as part of military base realignment.
We began our services working with the different private developers and ultimately the City of Alameda during master planning for redevelopment . Through our master plamning support services, we ultimately collected a database of geotechnical reports prepared for the Navy for various projects performed over the duration of the project. We have used this database, and our vast experience on the site to serve various projects on the base supporting new construction and repurposing of existing facilities. Following is a list of these projects:
• Master Planning Support • Seaplane Lagoon Dredging
• West Midway Neighborhood Planning • De-Pave Park Design • Reuse Ar ea Construction Testing and
Observation
• Seaplane Lagoon Seawall Stabilization Peer
Review for City of Alameda Site
• Building 8 (Storehouse) Redevelopment • Site A Peer Review for City of Alameda • Seaplane Lagoon Ferry Terminal Design and
Construction
• WETA Central Bay Operations and
Maintenance Facility Design Build
• Piers 1, 2, and 3 Evaluation • Natel Energy Hydro Engine Foundation
ALAMEDA SEAPLANE LAGOON FERRY TERMINAL
ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA
The project comprises construction of a new ferry terminal in the seaplane lagoon at Alameda Point. Improvements include a floating ferry loading platform, driven guide, dolphin and fendering piles, a fixed gangway pier supported on driven plumb piles and new slope protection revetment. The new ferry terminal, which will be constructed by the City of Alameda, will be operated by the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) and provide service to San Francisco. The terminal incl
udes a floating loading platform, a fixed pier, and a gangway to connect the fixed pier and floating pier.
The site, Alameda Point, is a former Naval Air Base that was constructed in the 1940s. The location of the terminal is within the former seaplane lagoon at the base. The land was formed by placing dredged sand fill over a former marsh while the adjacent seaplane lagoon was formed by dredging.
Due to the nature of the fill placement and type of soil, the fill is known to be liquefiable. The gangway pier transitions from potentially liquefiable fill to dense native sand so lateral spreading of the fill is a project constraint. ENGEO recommended vibro replacement (stone columns) of the liquefiable soil to mitigate liquefaction. ENGEO provided seismic design recommendations and lateral and vertical “springs” for design of the terminal by COWI, who is acting as the design Structural Engineer.
ENCINAL TERMINALS
ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA
The Encinal Terminal site lies along the Oakland Estuary on the northern side of Alameda. The proposed site development consists of a combination of podium- type and townhouse- type residential buildings. Portions of the existing wharf will be reused for public access and emergency vehicle access.
The site was marshland that was reclaimed in the 1920s for use as a ship terminal; more recently the site was used for storing shipping containers. An approximately 1,500 -foot-long wharf forms the western shoreline of the approximately 25 -acre site. The wharf wraps around the site on the northern boundary and extends another 500 feet along the northern shoreline. The wharf was constructed in phases between the 1920s and 1960s and consists of concrete and timber decks supported by concrete and timber piles.
The site is underlain by non- engineered fill and soft, compressible Young Bay Mud. These geotechnical conditions result in potential shoreline instability during an earthquake and settlement from new fill and building loads. Our preliminary analyses indicates that the shoreline will need to be stabilized to protect the development inland of the shoreline. We developed a ground improvement program using Deep Soil Mixing as the most economical means of shoreline stabilization.
To assess the shoreline and wharf stability, ENGEO performed several analyses. Our analyses included limit equilibrium slope stability analyses combined with 2-dimensional numerical modeling to estimate the potential deformations of the ground below the wharf and the kinematic loads on the wharf from slope movement. We also performed a ground response analysis using earthquake time histories to estimate the effect of the soft ground on the attenuation of earthquake loads. We also developed vertical and lateral soil load- deflection curves so the structural engineer can
evaluate the performance of the existing pile foundations and develop retrofit pile design, as necessary.
WETA CENTRAL BAY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE FACILITY
ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA
ENGEO performed design and quality control services for the design -build project during construction. The project included construction of a floating dock for mooring 12 ferries, fixed gangway pier, a new seawall, four-story administration building, and fuel yard.
We provided geotechnical recommendations for all improvements including piles for the pier and floats. We designed the new seawall as a cantilevered soldier pile wall with shotcrete construction.
Both the pile and soldier pile design represented
value to the project relative to the bridging
document preliminary design as our analyses allowed for significant pile shortening and elimination of a row of tiebacks that would have needed to be drilled through the remnants of the former seawall and rock dike fill. We used historic plans from site development and supplemental borings through the rock dike to validate our design assumptions for the seawall to the owner’s representatives reviewing our work.
We recommended an emerging ground improvement technique, Direct Power Compaction, to mitigate liquefaction of the hydraulically placed fill at a significant cost savings from the approach in the preliminary design by the owner's preliminary design team.
We designed the riprap revetment along the shoreline at the end of the seawall. We worked with the project landscape architect to allow vegetation in certain areas of the revetment where practical. During construction, we monitored ground improvement, vibrations, earthwork, and pile driving. We performed pre - and post-construction CPTs to verify the ground improvement was achieved. We also provided special inspections during landside construction.
AWARDS
CalGeo 2019-2020 Outstanding Project of the Year, Public-Medium Budget
BROOKLYN BASIN
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA
ENGEO is providing geotechnical engineering and stormwater consultation for the redevelopment of 65 acres of former Port of Oakland land adjacent to the Oakland Estuary and Jack London Square. The project will include an environmentally sustainable, mixed- use urban master plan with 3,100 residential units; 200,000 square-feet of retail and commercial space; and 30 acres of parks, public trails and open space, new marinas and renewed wetlands. The project will consist of a combination of low- , mid - and high-rise construction and includes reusing a historic wharf structure founded on a combination of wood and concrete piles.
Geotechnical constraints include high seismicity, liquefiable sand, soft Bay deposits, and shoreline stability. The site needs to be raised several feet to address potential future sea- level rise, which will result in consolidation settlement of the Young Bay Mud. The high seismicity could also result in slope deformations along the water’s edge due to the low strength of the Young Bay Mud. ENGEO developed innovative approaches to both these effects that best fit the project constraints.
ENGEO worked closely with the marine structural engineer to evaluate the interaction of the structure and the waterside slope to determine if seismically induced slope movement would damage the structure, and to develop cost-effective mitigation for areas where the structure was threatened. We were able to develop an innovative approach through this close collaboration that was peer reviewed and externally reviewed by a panel of experts assembled by BCDC.
LUCAS MUSEUM OF NARRATIVE ART AT EXPOSITION PARK
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
ENGEO is the geotechnical and environmental engineer of record for this five-story, 115-foot-tall building. Nearly one third of the proposed building’s 290,000 sf will be dedicated to gallery space, with other program elements including a movie theater, a lecture hall, a library, a restaurant and several digital classrooms. A publicly accessible green roof terrace will cap the building, and a 2,425-
space parking complex will be located underneath. In the course of our geotechnical engineering design on the museum, the base -isolation designer concluded that the ground motions considered in its initial design would result in excessive movements of the structure. A re-design would likely have led to significant impacts to schedule and budget. This prompted the team to apply a new approach to more accurately and precisely predict the ground motions for the site, reducing the amplitudes predicted for the design earthquake.
The original ground motions were obtained using traditional, ergodic seismic hazard analysi s (SHA) methods. These traditional approaches rely on broad datasets from across the world.
Recently, non-ergodic SHA procedures have been developed that use ground motion records at or near the site of interest, along with simulations, to develop more ref ined ground motion estimates. Our team, together with leading expert Jonathan Stewart from UCLA, implemented state-of-the-art analysis procedures at the Lucas Museum site. These refined analyses indicate that the original base isolators will have the capacity to accommodate the anticipated shaking during the design earthquake event. Therefore, the need for substantial redesign of the project was eliminated.
EMPRESS THEATRE
Vallejo, CALIFORNIA
ENGEO provided a geotechnical exploration for the proposed building upgrades of the historic Empress Theater, built in 1911. Due to the age of the theater, seismically stability was questionable. The basement of the theater had continuous water infiltration issues. We provided design parameters for the structural engineer to take on the anticipated seismic load. We also provided recommendations for the treatment of geotechnical constraints and foundation support related to the proposed building upgrades;
lateral earth retentions as necessary for building
upgrades; and for dewatering and drainage in connection with proposed building upgrades. The existing building included a multi -
level structure consisting of unreinforced brick and mortar construction, with a depressed below- grade level known as the “orchestra pit” area. During the retrofitting operations of the theater, ENGEO provided consultation and observation services for helical piles design as well as dewatering and water retardation options for the basement.
The approach that UMD takes to initiating, processing and implementing a “vision” for their development concepts is reminiscent of the evolution of a great Italian city…building an aspiring urban realm that serves as both the fabric and theatre for a vibrant, uniquely integrated community; a sense of place and perspective that transcends generations.

Re: RADIUM Theatre Development, City of Alameda, CA
To Whom It May Concern:
Alameda Ballet Academy/Alameda Civic Ballet is pleased to provide this letter of interest in support of the efforts underway for the RADIUM Theatre in Alameda.
Since the closing of Kofman Auditorium in 2016, the Alameda Arts Community has been without a performance space. This has been crippling to the community and to the local Arts organizations.
As a leading institution for both dance education and professional artists on the island, w e have a mission to bring high quality productions to the community, to offer our students the training to perform alongside professional dancers, and to bring diversity to the stage while creating job opportunities for Bay Area dancers. However, since being forced off the island, our productions have been held at the Castro Valley Center for the Arts. This neither serves the local community, nor allows our organization to grow within our own neighborhood.
For us, RADIUM would reopen the opportunity for us to foster community outreach and development. It would allow our business to once again thrive and would bring the Ballet back to Alameda.
We welcome the opportunity to work with the City and RADIUM on advancing the planning for this important project.
Sincerely,
Abra Rudisill, Artistic Director
Alameda Ballet Academy & Alameda Civic Ballet

To whom it may concern,
Rhythmix Cultural Works is pleased to send this letter in support of the Radium Theater Project on the runway next to Seaplane Lagoon in Alameda. In keeping with many noteworthy projects redefining the island’s future, a theater complex at this unique location would be a focal point for the new housing and commercial developments currently underway around Alameda Point and will help invigorate the community’s interest in the arts.
As the leading provider of cultural arts performances, exhibits and arts education activities in Alameda over the past 15 years, Rhythmix has outgrown its theater capacity for several of the programs and events the organization produces. We would be excited to collaborate with Radium and welcome the opportunity to present some of our organization’s signature Performance, Art & Learning (PAL) assembly programs and concerts at Radium’s new theater.
In addition to being able to better serve the Alameda community with a larger venue, a state-of-the-art theater facility would be a draw for San Franciscans and the East Bay region as well as bringing more support for local businesses.
Rhythmix has already undertaken several collaborative projects with Radium and West End Arts District with positive working relationships and outcomes. We support their vision as well as the belief that an innovative project of this magnitude would have a significant impact on the local community’s access to the arts and the reinvention of Alameda Point.

Re: Radium Performance Center at Alameda Point
Dear Christopher,
Alameda Point Collaborative is delighted to w rite in support of the e fforts unde rway to create the Radium Performance Center at Alameda Point.
Alameda Point Collaborative is a permanent supportive housing campus serving 500 formerly homeless residents of Alameda County. In addition to safe housing, we also provide case management, workforce development and after school and summer programming for the almost 250 children and youth.
The trauma our residents deal with often find healing in creative outlets, and we have resident artists, poets and craft makers who find their healing through their art. We understand how important a performance space can be for a community.
For APC and our residents, we see Radium as a place to learn, celebrate, and enjoy. We also see opportunities for employment of our residents, and a venue where our social enter prises, such as our commercial kitchen and organic farm could play a role.
We strongly support your application to the City and look forward to working with you to make Radium a reality for Alameda Point and the region. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for any assistance.

Re: Radium Presents
To whom it may concern,
On behalf of the Theater Department at Saint Joseph Notre Dame High School, I am pleased to provide a letter of interest in enthusiastic support of the efforts of the Radium Presents project on the Alameda Naval Base.
As one of four high schools in Alameda, I can say that a performance space on the island would be invaluable.
Since our program's inception 10 years ago we have grown into a theater destination for students providing 4-year curricular, co-curricular and summer theater programs. We would love to grow our program to accommodate the talent and demand of our students however we are hampered by the lack of space and resources in our community. Currently ⅓ of our theater department's operating budget goes to theater rental in Oakland as there is not a space in Alameda that can accommodate a high school theater production. By providing a central location for rehearsals, workshops, and performances, Radium would help to create opportunities for collaboration and cross-disciplinary exchange between the schools and artistic community organizations.
As an actor, director and board member active in our local theater community, I have worked in regional performance spaces all over the Bay Area. I have seen firsthand the positive impact that the arts can have on a community. I believe that supporting Radium Presents endeavors is an investment in the cultural vitality of our city. A dedicated theater space would help to foster a sense of community among local artists and performers and set Alameda apart as an artistic hub in the East Bay.
I urge you to consider their proposal and to provide whatever support you can in order to make this project a reality.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Re: The Radium Theater Project
To whom it may concern,
West Edge Opera has been talking with the group involved in the creation of the project now known as Radium for several years. We have longed expressed our hope that a theater be built in the east bay that has approximately 500 seats and has an orchestra pit. This is the size that we, as a mid sized opera company look for in a venue. Intimate but not tiny. Nothing like this exists in the east bay.
When Radium is built, we will be interested in renting it from mid to late June through the end of August to present the West Edge festival. In 2024 the festival will expand to four operas in repertory as well as various events, salons and concerts. We would be excited for the opportunity to perform in what looks to be a spectacular space and even offer our San Francisco patrons the ability to come over on a ferry boat.
I’m hoping the project comes to completion soon so that we are able to present opera there every year.
Sincerely yours,
-Mark Streshinsky

1 BASIS OF ESTIMATE
INTRODUCTION
This is a Conceptual Level estimate of construction costs for the new Radium Performing Art Center (PAC) for the Alameda Opera, to be located on Pan Am Way in Alameda. The overall project area is approximately 1.5 acres (~60,000 sf) and includes the Theater itself plus the Runway Plaza. The assumption is that the (brownfield) site will be cleared by others and the pad made ready for new construction, with all roadway and off-site utilities work by others. For the purposes of our estimate we have limited our takeoff to the dotted-line boundaries shown on BORA Site Plan sheet A1.
We have estimated an approximately 26 month construction schedule beginning at a future date TBD, therefore we are budgeting in current costs and cannot forecast for the uncertain period of escalation.
Estimated Amount: $ 109,250,000
REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION
This conceptual estimate is based on the following documentation:
Radium PAC Final Cost Drawing Package, 7 pages prepared by Bora 6/7/2023 Radium PAC Conceptual Design Narrative Package, 11 pages by Bora 6/7/2023 Radium PAC Production Systems Narrative, 9 pages by Shalleck Collective 6/5/2023 Radium PAC Production Systems Engineering Report, 15 pages by Shalleck Collective 6/5/2023
SINGULAR BUILDERS Radium Performing Arts Center – Estimate #01 | page 3
BASIS FOR PRICING
General Contractor’s overhead and fees are based on a percentage of the total direct costs plus the project based general requirements and covers the insurance, bonding or Subguard insurance costs, home office overhead and profits. The markups included in this estimate are as follows:
Construction Contingencies (design, estimating, construction) 15.0% General Liability Insurance 1.2%
Alameda Gross Receipts Tax 0.6%
Bonding (Surety bonds or Subguard Insurance) 1.2% Contractor’s Fee 2.5%
The large contingency factor is appropriate for this preliminary-stage budgeting, covering scope and complexity that will emerge in design, engineering, permitting, and buyout, as well as managing risks during the construction process. The Liability Insurance row budgets for either conventional project coverage within the contractor’s primary policy, or a project specific CCIP policy, which this job could well support. The Bonding budget is intended either for individually purchased surety bonds (contractor or subcontracting tiers) or the funding of a project wide Subguard policy. The Contractor’s Fee row is conventional OH&P.
A separate Owner’s development contingency has not been included in th is construction estimate, but it is advised that the Owner carry additional budgets to cover the soft cost risks and escalation.

Market Analysis
35 APPENDIX 4 – OUTREACH AND MARKET ANAL YSIS
To gain comprehensive insights into the state of the community’s performing arts programs and the demand for arts facilities, a series of interviews were conducted with community and arts leaders. These interviews aimed to gather relevant background information, gauge interest in a new performing arts venue, and gather opinions and ideas about its potential impact on the community. The response from stakeholders was overwhelmingly supportive, reinforcing the necessity of a new performing arts facility for the community.
The insights shared by community arts leaders highlighted critical needs within the existing infrastructure. They expressed a pressing need for suitable rehearsal and performing spaces, as current facilities often fall short in providing adequate space, have inconsistent availability for booking dates, and lack the necessary technical capabilities to facilitate high-quality productions.
These limitations have adversely affected the growth of arts organizations and hindered potential audience development.
In addition to the stakeholder interviews, a survey was deployed among performing arts organizations in Alameda and the
surrounding market area. This survey sought to assess current facility usage, identify unmet needs for performance spaces, and gauge interest in and projected usage of a new facility, should one be constructed. The survey received responses from 35 organizations, with the highest representation from dance and opera organizations, followed by arts education and culturally specific arts institutions.
Key findings from the survey shed light on the anticipated demand for rental of the new facility for performance and rehearsal purposes:
Strong Interest in Renting: There is significant interest among arts organizations in renting the new venue, particularly for classroom and rehearsal spaces.
Ideal Audience Capacity: The survey indicated that an optimal audience capacity for the new facility would be in the range of 400-600 seats, featuring a fixed-seat, proscenium style (see figures 3 and 4).
Affordability and Availability: Potential renters emphasized the importance of space affordability and availability as crucial factors in their decision-making process.
Essential Theater Equipment: Availability of appropriate theater equipment for lighting, sound, scenery, etc., was deemed “important” or “essential” by respondents.
Proximity to Cultural Facilities: While desirable, the survey revealed that proximity to other cultural/arts facilities and complimentary businesses was not deemed essential.
The collective insights gained from interviews and the survey underscore the urgent need for a new performing arts facility that addresses the existing gaps in the community’s arts infrastructure.
By providing suitable rehearsal and performing spaces, along with necessary technical capabilities, the new facility has the potential to revitalize arts organizations, foster audience growth, and enrich the cultural landscape of the community.
Identifying Facility Needs in the Performing Arts Sector Below: Highest Demand is for Fixed-Seat Proscenium Theater and Rehearsal Space
36 Six local arts organizations from on and off the island have expressed their support for the project and interest in renting the space for programming, including AUSD, Rhythmix Cultural Works, Alameda Civic Ballet, and others. See appendix 3.

Programming: Not-for-profit partner Diablo
Regional Arts Association presents a
multidisciplinary series and educational
outreach
Mission
The mission of the Lesher Center for the Arts is to drive excellence, innovation, and diversity in the arts through performances, exhibitions and educational programming that establish the Lesher Center as the artistic destination for everyone in Walnut Creek and the region.
Background
Intentionally located near to a BART station and downtown parking, the Lesher Center was intended to be easily accessible, and to build on a robust history of arts investment by the City of Walnut Creek. Following decades of growth in the quality, breadth, and volume of creative offerings in “bootstrapped” spaces, the City provided essential support by making land available, providing parking, guaranteeing operating deficits, and allocating a portion of the start-up and construction costs. The balance of the funding came from individual, corporate, business and foundation contributions. Project costs were ultimately $20.1 million with an opening in October 1990.
Community
Walnut Creek is a suburb of San Francisco and the seat of Contra Costa County, with a population of ~70,000. Median household income is $118,500, about the same as the San Francisco- Oakland-Berkeley, CA metro area.
THEATER SIZE + EXAMPLES
Key Impacts and Outcomes
The Lesher Center has made significant direct and indirect impact on downtown Walnut Creek. Attendance exceeding 250,000 at hundreds of performances had generated millions of dollars in tax revenue and gave multiple restaurateurs confidence in setting up bricks-and-mortar locations. Americans for the Arts’ Arts and Economic Prosperity 5, released in 2015, showed that the arts in Walnut Creek generate $41.5 million in economic activity . As of this report, the city is participating in Arts and Economic Prosperity 6 to gauge current impacts.

Vision
Tempe Center for the Arts presents and produces compelling, provocative and inspiring programs to promote meaningful engagement with the most relevant performance arts being made today.
Mission
Tempe Center for the Arts is making waves in the desert by embracing art in all forms and all voices.
Background
TCA opened in 2007 with a vision to be a premiere rental facility and provide free public programming. In 2016, TCA began producing and presenting performing arts content as well.
Reimagining the site was a core objective of the project. A 33-foot deep landfill, high voltage power transmission lines, and deep public disengagement all needed to be addressed. A comprehensive remediation process was undertaken, with the TCA now crowning a levee that protects Tempe from flood risk from the Salt River. The building was sited to ensure that multiple public gathering spaces were attractive and open, and that acoustic challenges from a nearby highway and local airport were carefully controlled through use of architectural elements and surface finishes.
TCA is home to over a dozen resident organizations, ranging from traditional fine arts to avant garde performance initiatives.
Community
Tempe has 184,100 residents, and is the seat of Maricopa County, one of Arizona’s most densely populated places. Median household income in Tempe is about $69,000, similar to the statewide median of $69,000. That said, nearly 17% of residents are below the poverty line. Tempe is in a large, complex metro - the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler metro area has nearly 5 million residents, with over 25% speaking a language other than English at home.
Key Impacts and Outcomes
Tempe is a center of tourism, drawing tens of millions of dollars annually in visitor spending – much of it on arts, culture, and entertainment. Further, the downtown economic fabric has strengthened measurably, with jobs based downtown growing 188% between 2010 and 2017.

Mission
Parker Arts will enhance local economic vitality and quality of life by offering unique gathering spaces and providing access to a wide variety of high-quality performances, exhibits, and educational programs in arts, culture, history, and science.
Background
The Parker Arts, Culture, and Entertainment Center (PACE) was developed in the late 20th century, opening in 2001. Residents advocated for a high-quality cultural arts hub that would provide a welcoming environment for the growing population, spur economic development, and enhance Old Town Parker. The
facility is adjacent to the 100-year-old rehabilitated Schoolhouse, which has become an extension of Parker Arts’ offerings to the community and renters.
The center is in Parker’s Creative District, which is managed with the assistance of the Creative District Executive Committee, a 9-member citizen’s advisory board. The district’s mission is to make the city a “vibrant, walkable, arts and entertainment center, infused with community gathering spaces, specialty retail and dining options, diverse creative businesses and life cycle housing choices.”

Mission
To nurture local arts organization, artists and audiences in a state- of-the-art facility that welcomes the community.
Background
After Hurricane Andrew devastated South Miami-Dade in 1992, Commissioner Dennis C. Moss developed a comprehensive vision for revitalization of the area. Among many projects, the building of a cultural arts center was crucial to this plan. in 1994 the County purchased land to accommodate a new cultural center in the southern part of the county. The building was completed in 2011 and provides a world-class, multidisciplinary cultural venue and community gathering place, filling a key role in the economic and cultural development of the area.
Community
Miami-Dade County has a population of 2.7 million and median household income of $59,000, slightly lower than the Florida statewide median of $63,000 and about 80% of the US median HH income of $69,700. Over 53% of the resident population is foreign-born, with 92% of foreign-born residents hailing from Latin American countries.
Key Impacts and Outcomes
Arts and Economic Prosperity 5 analysis revealed that the economic impact of the arts in Miami-Dade County exceeded $1.43 billion, generating nearly 41,000 full-time jobs and engaging more than 16 million participants.
The Department of Cultural Affairs has deployed numerous access programs to bring arts experiences to the full diversity of the County’s residents and visitors. Culture Shock Miami is one of their widely recognized initiatives, where they provide $5 tickets to high school and college students. Additional discounts are targeted to senior citizens, students, and active military personnel. 42 THEATER SIZE + EXAMPLES
The Port Theatre - Nanaimo, BC
Facilities: Port Theatre (800, proscenium)
Structure: Owned by the City of Nanaimo,
operated by not-for-profit Port Theatre
Society
Mission
The purpose of The Port Theatre Society is to stimulate and enhance artistic, cultural and economic activity of central Vancouver Island.
Background
In 1989, the City of Nanaimo formed the not-for-profit The Port Theatre Society to develop a venue that would take advantage of underutilized downtown waterfront space. Nine years later, drawing on federal and provincial capital resources as well as community contributions, the project came to fruition.
Community
Nanaimo is a city of nearly 100,000 on the east coast of Vancouver Island, which in the 21st century has seen steady population growth and increasing racial diversity. A long and rich maritime history is intertwined with Nanaimo’s core present-day industries (forestry; government; service, retail, and hospitality).
Key Impacts and Outcomes
Annually, over 250 events draw 1000,000+ participants. The Port Theatre’s volunteer roster is also among the largest in Nanaimo, with over 150 people supporting events in a variety of roles. A 2016 study documented up to $8 million of annual economic impact attributed to the Port Theatre’s operations and programming. In 2022, the Port Theatre Society estimated that over 10,650 hours were contributed. Notably, the Port Theatre Society reported net-positive operating results in 2021 and 2022, while pursuing an ambitious capital improvement process that included thermal improvements to all windows in the facility.
