SUBJECT:
Grace Pointe/Dublin Centre Exempt Surplus Land
Prepared by: Jason Earl, Senior Management Analyst
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider declaring the 1.83-acre portion of property in the Dublin Centre to be Exempt Surplus Land for an Affordable Housing Development. Declaring this land to be Exempt Surplus Land will enable the City of Dublin to transfer the property to Sunflower Grace, L.P., for the development and operation of affordable rental housing in accordance with the terms of the Development Agreement for the Dublin Centre Project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Declaring Property Located in the Dublin Centre Project to be Exempt Surplus Land for Affordable Housing Development Pursuant to the Surplus Land Act.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
On December 6, 2022, the City Council approved the Development Agreement for the Dublin Centre project. As part of the project’s compliance with the City Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance, the developer agreed to donate land at the corner of Dublin Boulevard and Brannigan Street (the Property) to the City or its designated recipient for a multi-family housing project affordable to lower income households.
On November 5, 2024, the City Council entered into an Affordable Housing Assistance Agreement (AHAA) with Sunflower Grace, L.P., for the Grace Pointe project. Under the terms of the AHAA, Sunflower Grace L.P. will be the recipient of the Property for the purpose of constructing and operating an affordable rental housing development thereon.
19
Sunflower Grace, L.P., which includes affiliates of Sunflower Hill and Satellite Affordable Housing Associates (SAHA) as general partners, proposes to develop a 60-unit low- and very- low income affordable housing project for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) on the Property. As a non-profit affordable housing developer, Sunflower Grace L.P., will be seeking funds from multiple funding sources to construct the Grace Pointe project.
Receipt of property as exempt surplus land allows certain funding applications, such as the Multifamily Housing Program by HCD, and the Multi-Family Super NOFA Capital funding, to be more competitive. Therefore, Sunflower Hill requested that the City acquire the Property from the Dublin Centre master developer and subsequently transfer it to Sunflower Grace, L.P., as surplus property to enhance the competitiveness of its affordable housing funding applications.
Analysis
Pursuant to the Surplus Land Act (Government Code Section 54220 et seq.), local agencies must determine whether publicly owned land is “surplus” or “exempt surplus” prior to its sale or lease. The Property qualifies as “exempt surplus land” under multiple provisions of the Act:
Section 54221(f)(1)(A) defines exempt surplus land as property used for housing developments pursuant to Government Code Section 37364, which allows cities to convey land for housing when at least 80% of the land is developed for housing and at least 40% of the units are designated for low and very low-income households, with affordability restrictions lasting at least 30 years. The AHAA exceeds these requirements by mandating that all units (except one manager’s unit) be restricted to low and very low-income households for a period of 55 years. Section 54221(f)(1)(F) further defines exempt surplus land as property used for housing developments where 100% of units (excluding a manager’s unit) are restricted to low- or moderate-income households, with at least 75% restricted to lower income households, and rents set at least 20% below median market rates for the neighborhood. These restrictions must be recorded in a covenant or regulatory agreement. The AHAA requires a Regulatory Agreement to be recorded against the Property for a term of 55 years.
Section 54221(f)(2) requires notification to certain entities if the land is located in sensitive areas such as coastal zones or near historic sites. The Property does not meet any of these criteria, and therefore no such notification is required.
The Surplus Land Act Guidelines require that a local agency making an exempt surplus land determination must document its findings and submit them to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) at least 30 days prior to disposition. A Resolution documenting the findings and declaring the Property in the Dublin Centre Project to be Exempt Surplus Property for affordable housing development is included as Attachment 1.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Strategy 3: Housing Inclusivity and Affordability
Objective A: Implement the goals, policies, and programs in the 2023-2031 Housing Element.
Objective B: Support efforts to produce housing affordable at all levels of income. 20
Objective E: Support efforts to address housing for special needs communities.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The action of declaring the Property to be exempt surplus property for affordable housing development is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 as this action does not meet CEQA’s definition of a “project” and would not result in either a direct physical change, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

DESCRIPTION:
Agreements for On-Call Construction Management and Inspection Services The Public Works Department utilizes consultants and contractors on Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects, private development projects, and City operation and maintenance programs. Consultants are solicited through an open and competitive request for qualifications (RFQ) process. In July 2025, Staff issued an RFQ for On-Call Construction Management and Inspection Services to find consultants that have the necessary background and expertise to provide these services.
Twenty-one submissions were received in response to the RFQ. Upon review of the qualifications received, Staff determined that all 21 firms are qualified. Staff recommends entering into on-call agreements with seven firms based on the evaluation rankings and the estimated need for services during a three-year agreement term. The seven firms recommended are: 4LEAF Inc., Consor PMCM Inc., GFT Infrastructure Inc., MNS Engineers Inc., Pakpour Consulting Group Inc., Swinerton Management & Consulting, and Unico Engineering Inc. The recommended firms have provided these services to Dublin in the past and have provided similar services to various municipalities around the Bay Area. Each of the proposed agreements includes a compensation limit of $2,000,000 over the three-year term, rate increase provisions tied to the consumer price index or maximum of three percent, and performance measures related to the firm’s services.
Staff also recommends that the other firms that responded to the RFQ be deemed qualified and remain on the City’s Managed Qualified Bid List, reserving the right to enter into an agreement with these firms at a future date. The other firms that responded to the RFQ are:
Alpha CM, AZAD Engineering PC, Bureau Veritas North America Inc., CSG Consultants Inc., Dabri Inc., Dewberry Engineers Inc., E. Majalani Construction Management Inc., Haley & Aldrich Inc., Hollins Consulting Inc., mack5, Mark Thomas & Company Inc., Shiels Sowko Consultants Inc., Wilsey Ham, and Zoon Engineering.
Amendment to Agreement for Development Review – Pakpour Consulting Group On June 15, 2021, the City Council approved an agreement with Pakpour Consulting Group Inc. (Resolution No. 72-21) for On-Call Development Review and On-Call Construction Management and Inspection Services. On December 16, 2021, the agreement was amended to expand the scope of services to add emergency operations assistance. On June 4, 2024, the City Council amended the agreement (Resolution No. 39-24) to extend the term to June 30, 2026, and increase the not-to-exceed compensation limit from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000.
If the City Council approves a new agreement with Pakpour for on-call construction management and inspection services, then Staff recommends the City Council amend the existing agreement with Pakpour to remove on-call construction management and inspection services from the scope of work. The amended agreement would then be limited to development review services and emergency operations assistance.
Staff also proposes amendments to the existing agreement to increase the not-to-exceed compensation limit and update billing rates. Staff recommends increasing the not-to-exceed 26
compensation limit by $500,000, for a total not-to-exceed compensation limit of $3,500,000.
The increased limit is needed for current and future development review services, such as plan review, map review, permit issuance, project management, and project closeout for various development projects. The amendment also includes updating billing rates, linking future billing rate increases to the consumer price index, and including development review performance measures.
