RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached ordinance finding that a material change has occurred such that Proposition Three of
the 2004 Capital Improvement Program for the Northwest Branch Library will include the addition of new
road, Crystal Lake Drive, to gain access to the library and improvements to the Frontage Road, Cromwell
Marine Creek Parkway, as required by the City's Subdivision Ordinance; and

total contract amount to $404,032.57.
DISCUSSION:
The 2004 CIP Proposition Three for library improvements included funding for land acquisition needed to
build the Northwest Branch Library. Land was subsequently donated to the City via Mayor and Council
Communication L-14469, approved on February 5, 2008. The land acquisition funds will be used to offset
the cost to construct the new road and will not increase the cost of the Northwest Branch Library.
On May 29, 2007, via Mayor and Council Communication C-22141, the City Council authorized the City
Manager to execute a design and construction administration services agreement with Komatsu/Rangel,
Inc., for the Northwest Branch Library, City Secretary Contract No. 35385.
The proposed Amendment No.1 will include an increased scope to cover design of the additional road
improvement (Cromwell Marine Creek Road) on the north side of the library site and new access road
(Crystal Lake Drive) on the west side on the library. The estimated overall cost of the project is:
