Emeryville Center of Community Life (ECCL)

At our special council meeting on Wednesday, August 6, 2014, the city council will be considering our agreement with Emery Unified School District (EUSD) to move forward on the Emeryville Center of Community Life (ECCL) project you can see starting construction on San Pablo Ave at 53rd. This project is the culmination of years of planning, and will create a single K-12 school with a Recreation Center, Library and health and community services, all under one roof. The staff report for this item is here. The supporting resolutions and contracts are quite long, but can be found on the agenda, item number 6.1.

The council has two items to consider:

  1. the Joint Occupancy Agreement, which covers 
    • Project Lease
    • Finance Agreement
    • Governance
    • Operations, Maintenance and Shared Use Agreement
    • Design and Construction Agreement
    • General Conditions
  2. The construction contract with Turner Construction, which came in at $58.6 million.
Please attend the meeting if you can make it to hear updates on the project and share your opinion on the ECCL project. City Hall is at 1333 Park Ave.
