DISCUSSION <br />The Alviso Adobe Community Park project is proposed to include elements reflecting <br />three (3) important periods in local history -American Indian, Californio, and dairy <br />farming. To reflect these important periods, the project will: renovate the existing Alviso <br />Adobe historic structure; reconstruct two (2) dairy-related buildings to house <br />interpretative exhibits; provide a visitor center; and, include on-site improvements such <br />as trails, an outdoor gathering area, parking, interpretative signage and appropriate <br />landscaping. Once completed, the project will provide unique educational programs <br />and activities promoting the three (3) historical periods. <br />Project planning and design have been completed, and the project is anticipated to be <br />advertised for bids in April 2007. <br />Preliminary project costs are currently estimated at approximately $5.5 million, including <br />$4.5 million for construction and $1 million for planning, design, utility connection fees, <br />contingency, construction management, and design support during construction. <br />Approximately $4 million in funding has been budgeted for the project, with $1.5 million <br />in funding yet to be identified. <br />Staff plans to request a grant of $1.5 million from CCHE to complete the project. The <br />application process requires each public agency to provide a Resolution from its <br />governing body approving the filing of a grant application. A copy of the proposed <br />Resolution is attached for the Council's review. <br />The CCHE will notify grant applicants of award results by September 2007. <br />Submitted by: <br />am s W.
