Cubberley Gym HVAC Replacement (CB-24000)
Prior Years Actuals Total Project Budget Implemen Ɵng Department Project Phase Project Comple Ɵon $0 $ 826,113 Public Works Pre-Design Spring 2026
The exisƟng heaƟng system in Cubberley Gyms A & B is original to the building, which was constructed in the mid- 1950s.

Project Status: This project will implement creek studies and the comple Ɵon of the design for the San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority (JPA) upstream projects including channel widening and ConƟnuing Authority Program SecƟon 205 (CAP 205) study. In FY 2024, the JPA awarde d a contract with WRA Environmental Consultants to analyze the creek hydraulics and the improvement alterna Ɵves that could reduce ﬂooding. The Master Service Agreement includes the design and implementa Ɵon of Reach 2 project elements. WRA completed their ini Ɵal ﬁeld survey, developed a preliminary list of improvement alterna Ɵves and provided the ini Ɵal presentaƟon to the public in November. Their e ﬀorts will be driven based on public feedback and direc Ɵon from the SFCJPA Board. Due to comments received from SFCJPA Board members and sta ﬀ, the consultant’s scope had to be modiﬁed in 2025. This acƟon delayed the comple Ɵon of the Alterna Ɵve Evalua Ɵon Report that would have determined the preferred alternaƟve to advance.
