A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA,
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO AWARD AND EXECUTE A CONTRACT
FOR THE MIRAFLORES INTERPRETATIVE SIGNAGE PROJECT
WHEREAS, in August 2020, the City of Richmond was awarded a National Park Service (NPS) Japanese American Confinement Sites (JACS) program grant in the amount of $97,500 for the Miraflores Interpretative Signage project; and WHEREAS, a two-year extension of the Grant Agreement was executed in August 2022 to extend the agreement to August 2024; and
WHEREAS, an additional extension was granted in August 2024 extending the Grant Agreement to April 30, 2025, which is the last allowable extension and is now the final grant delivery deadline; and
WHEREAS, given the pending grant delivery deadlines, delaying the award process for the Miraflores Interpretative Signage project could result in the delivery deadlines being missed, resulting in the potential loss of this NPS JACS grant funding; and WHEREAS, it is necessary to authorize the City Manager to award a construction contract for the Miraflores Interpretative Signage project to ensure timely progression and adherence to the project completion schedule.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Richmond hereby appropriates the $97,500 NPS JACS grant funds in the FY24/25 budget and authorizes the City Manager to award and execute a contract and any related documents with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the Miraflores Interpretative Signage Project. --------------------------------
