SUMMARY
In April 2015, the City Council directed staff to negotiate and execute a CWA with the BTC for the new main library. At City Council’s direction, staff brought forward an item on February 23, 2016 that allowed for the discussion of creating a Citywide CWA that could apply to a broader scope of projects within the community. Staff received policy direction from the City Council at that meeting regarding how a Citywide CWA might be structured. Subsequently, staff negotiated a CWA with the BTC, which included an effective date of July 6, 2017. The Citywide CWA was effective for 3 years and with a number of term extensions, expires on June 30, 2025. Staff and the BTC were open to discussing any modifications and drafting an updated CWA. Over the past several months, staff continued working with BTC on several elements of the CWA and successfully negotiated and agreed to the changes for an updated CWA.
