REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS TO LEASE THE ROTH BUILDING,
300 HOMER AVENUE, PALO ALTO
RECOMMENDATION.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Request for Proposals
(RFP) package and direct staff to solicit proposals for leasing the Roth Building.
BACKGROUND
In April 2000, the City Council-approved the purchase of the Roth Building and its¯ 0,41
acre site for potential development as a "public facility or alternative use if a public
facility is not feasible," in conjunction with the South of Forest Coordinated Area Plan
(SOFA CAP).
In acquiring the Roth Building, the City entered into a development agreement with the
Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF). The development agreement stipulates that the.
City must complete demolition and removal of the non-historic wings by July 2003. The
purpose of the demolition is to provide for additional park space and to provide a buffer
of approximately 100 feet between the historic Roth Building ana a residential
development project being undertaken by Summerhill Homes immediately south of the
Roth Building. On December 11, 2001, staff presented a. City Manager’s Report
(CMR:340:01) on the Roth Building’s potential reuse to the Policy and Service¯
Committee of the City Council. The Policy and Services Committee recommended that
staff issue an RFP for non-profit organizations to lease the Roth Building. On March 4,
2002, Council: 1) approved the demolition of the basement/wings associated with the
non-historic 1947 addition to the Roth Building; 2) approved the temporary retention of
the spine of the 1947 addition; and 3) reviewed and commented on the summary of a
Request for Proposals (RFP) for non-profit organizations to lease and renovate the Roth
Building. Council’s comments included direction that the RFP require that any use of the
Roth ¯Building include public access to the restrooms and that proposers be encouraged to
provide a community room as part of the project.
CMR:254:02 Page 1 of 6
DISCUSSION
The attached RFP consists of an Information Flyer (summarizing the offering) and a
Proposal Package (including Proposal Forms, Proposal Questionnaire, Option to Lease,
and Lease). The intent of the RFP is to lease the property under a long-term lease to a
non-profit group or organization(s) that can improve, maintain and operate the property
for a use that:
¯provides public benefit and/or fills a public need
¯preserves and maintains the historic significance of the property
¯is compatible with adjacent park use
¯does not adversely impact the residential neighborhood
Preference will be given to non-profit groups located in or serving Palo Alto. In addition,
the RFP requires that improvements, maintenance and operation of the property be at no
cost to the City. The RFP is summarized in Attachment A.
Property Description
Following City demolition of 1947 wings, the Roth Building will be approximately
17,000 square feet, consisting ofthe 2-story historic Roth Building (approximately
10,000 square feet) and the 1947 spine addition (approximately 7,000 square feet
including a basement, first and second level.) Because the 1947 spine addition is not
determined to be a significant historic, resource, future tenants of the property may choose
to keep or demolish all or a portion of the spine. (See Attachment B)
Use of the Property
The RFP requires that the use of the property be of benefit to the City and community as
a whole, that it be consistent with City goals and objectives as ~et forth in the
.Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance, and that the impact of the proposed use not
be detrimental to the neighborhood, community and environment. As directed by the
City Council on March 4, 2002, proposers are also required to provide public access to
the Roth Building restrooms by users of the park and strongly encouraged to provide a
community meeting room as part of the project. Sensitivity to the amount of open space
retained for park use adjacent to the building is also an important factor in design and
use.
Historic Preservation
The RFP explains the architectural and historic significance of the Roth Building and that
the City desires to preserve as much of its historic significance and integrity as possible.
A summary of the guidelines for historic preservation included.in the Secretary of the
Interior’s Standards of Rehabilitation for Historic Buildings is attached to both the
Information Flyer and the Option to Lease. It will be up to the proposer to show how its
proposed improvements and possible modifications to the_property are responsive to the
Secretary’s Standards and Guidelines for historic preservation and rehabilitation. The
CMR:254:02 Page 2 of 6
City maintains the ability to control the appropriate degree of historic preservation for the
site through its evaluation and selection of proposals and required review and approval of
the use and development plans during the option term.
Required Improvements and Estimated Costs
Not all significant improvements and costs necessitated by a new use of the property are
possible to determine precisely without knowing the nature of the specific use of the
property. However, the RFP identifies minimum improvements and related estimated
costs required for upgrading existing systems to meet current codes and building
practices. A list of required improvements and estimated costs totaling $4,360,000 are
listed in Attachment/3 to the Information Flyer. These improvements and costs are for
the historic Roth Building only. Renovating the additional 7,000 square feet of the spine
will add approximately $2,000,000 in project costs for a total-of$6,360,000.
During its discussion of the Roth Building on March 4, 2002, Council members
expressed their desire to have the development and operation of the property by any long-
term tenant be "cost neutral" to the City. The RFP requires that the development and
operation of the property be at no cost to the City; however, it does not require the lessee
to repay the cost of acquisition of the building or the full cost of demolition of the wings.
The cost to acquire the building was $1,957,100. Estimated costs for demolition of the
wings presented to Council on March 4, 2002 totaled $ $930,000, of which $130,000 was
the cost to abate the lead paint and asbestos in the wings and historic Roth building. Staff
has since considered the advantage of separating hazardous materials abatement of the
property into two phases: 1) abatement of the wings and basement to be demolished; and
2) abatement of the historic Roth Building. The City would be responsible for the first
phase involving the wings and basement. Once a use is determined, the future tenant
would be responsible for second phase, abatement of the historic building, so that areas
left unaffected by the new use need not be disturbed by the abatement. In this way,
historical elements could be saved and costs may be reduced, as well. Therefore, the RFP
includes in the costs of required tenant improvements an estimate of $75,000 ($65,000
plus $10,000 contingency), for the cost to abate the lead and asbestos in the historic Roth
Building. Tenant responsibility for abatement in the historic building Will reduce the
City’s previously estimated cost of $930,000 for hazardous materials abatement,
demolition, and construction of a temporary bracing and enclosure structure by $65,000,
for a new total of $865,000.
Park Dedication and Leased Area
The summary RFP presented to Council on March 4, 2002 provided for lease .of both the
Roth Building and its .41 acre site. The RFP also anticipated including that leased area in
the future park dedication for the SOFA park. However, staff now recommends limiting
the lease to the building only and excluding the leased building from the park dedication.
Lease of the entire .41 acre site ’(17,838 square feet) would include the landscaping
surrounding the Roth !3uilding. This would result in the tenant being responsible~ for
CMR:254:02 Page 3 of 6
landscape improvements and maintenance in that area. By limiting the lease to the
building only, the City maintains responsibility for. the landscaping. Advantages of City
retention of the land and landscaping surrounding the building are: 1) more consistency
between the building landscaping and the park; 2) more City control of design issues
involving interface between the Roth Building and park landscaping; 3) more control of
access to the_building on the south side as it relates to the park design (plaza, building
entrance, lighting, etc.); and 4) avoiding conflicts between the City and its tenant about
how the landscaping should be improved and maintained, including the significant
courtyard oak tree. Staff estimates the cost of landscape improvements to the Roth
Building to be $50,000 to $70,000 and the annual cost of ongoing maintenance to be
approximately $12,000. These costs would be included in the budget planning for the
future park.
The Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) requires that dedicated parkland be open and
accessible to the public. If the Roth Building leased area were included in the future park
dedication, the strict limitations of the PAMC could prohibit potential non-profit public
benefit uses, such as a group of non-profits that might want to lease the building for
office space. Excluding the leased area from the future park dedication has the advantage
of fewer limitations on potential non-profit uses of the property and does not significantly
reduce the size of the future park, which would still be 2+ acres.
For the above reasons, the attached RFP provides for lease of the building only, and
anticipates that leased area will be excluded from the future park dedication. It should be
noted that even though the future use of the property will not be limited by the strict
requirements of the park dedication ordinance, the RFP does require that any use be
compatible with the adjacent park use.
Evaluation of proposals
Proposers will be required to show how their proposed use, improvements and
modifications meet the requirements for use and historic preservation of the property.
Consistent with the City’s policy for the Leased Use of City Land/Facilities, proposers
will be required to provide the following information, which will be considered in
evaluating proposals:. 1) the extent to which the proposed leased use satisfies a public
need or provides public benefit; 2) the extent to which the proposal is responsive to the
guidelines and standards for historic preservation/rehabilitation; 3) the consistency of the
proposed use with existing City goals and objectives (as set forth in the Comprehensive
Plan, Zoning Ordinance, SOFA CAP, and general municipal services objectives); 4) the
impact of the proposed use upon the neighborhood, community, and environment; 5) the
degree of public access and fees to be charged to Palo Alto citizens; 6) the monetary and
non-monetary consideration to be provided to the City; 7) the history and assessment of
the proposer’s ability to finance and carry out the construction, operation and
maintenance of the facility and services as proposed; 8) a five-year pro-forma financial
analysis of the proposed use, setting forth the project revenues and expenses for this
CMR:254:02 Page 4 of 6
period of time; and 9) ability to address sensitive design issues relating to adaptive reuse
of the historic building and interface with the park.
Proposers consisting of more than one non-profit organization will be required to provide
evidence of financial/legal commitment as a group. This will avoid problems such as
those that occurred during the first RFP process for the Williams property when, after the
City granted the option to a consortium of three non-profit groups, two of the three
groups backed out of the project, and the City had to withdraw the option. The RFP does
not specify the form of financial commitment; however it should be sufficient that the
City has some assurance of the stability of the groups’ association. One possibility is an
"umbrella" corporation, which would legally define and strengthen the association
between groups. In addition, evaluation of proposals by groups of non-profits will
consider the degree of public benefit provided by each group and the compatibility of the
groups with each other in terms of purpose and services offered, and use of the building.
Proposals will be review6d and evaluated for recommendation to the City Council by a
proposal evaluation committee comprised of representatives of staff from Planning, Real
Estate, Public Works, Community Services, and a member of the Historic Resources
Board and/or Architectural Review Board.
Proposed Schedule for Solicitation
Following Council approval, staff will advertise the RFP inlocal newspapers and send
the information flyer to the City’s surplus property mailing list, local non-profit groups
and to those persons and groups who have expressed interest in leasing the property. The
RFP will also be added to the City’s website.
Proposals will be accepted until May 20, 2003, when sealed proposals will be opened.
Proposals and proposers will then be reviewed by the evaluation committee using the
criteria summarized above, and the proposals and recommendations for a successful
bidder will be forwarded to the City Council.
RESOURCE IMPACT
The RFP requires prospective tenants to lease, improve, maintain and operate the
property at no cost to the City. Tenant responsibility for hazardous materials abatement
of the historic Roth Building will reduce the previously identified demolition costs to the
City by $65,000. Costs for City responsibility for the Roth Building landscaping will be
included in the future budget planning for the park.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
The RFP is consistent withPolicy and Procedures 1-11, Leased Use of City
Land/Facilities.
CMR:254:02 Page 5 of 6
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City certified a Final Environmental Impact Report for the Council adoption of the
SOFA CAP Phase I and approval of the Development Agreement with PAMF. Both
actions included the ret~ention, rehabilitation and community use of the historic Roth
Building, with demolition of the 1947 wings, and development of a two-acre park.
An environmental impact assessment (EIA), as may. be required by the California
Environmental Quality Act, will be performed in connection with the proposal that staff
ultimately recommends to the Council as the one that should be a awarded the option to
lease the property, The EIA would address potential impacts including historic
rehabilitation, parking and neighborhood compatibility..In addition, option conditions
included in the RFP require optionees to comply with all requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY, !MPROVEMENTS AND
SURROUNDINGS
A. Background:
Originally part of the former Palo Alto Medical Clinic, the Roth Building
was purchased by the City of Palo Alto in April 2000 for potential
development as a public facility in conjunction with the South of Forest
Coordinated Area Plan. Located at 300 Homer Avenue in Palo Alto, the
original portion of the Roth Building is a "U" shaped building,
approximately 10,000 square feet in size. The two legs of the "U" are
single story, with the connecting corridor spine of the building having both
a second story and partial basement. Currently, a 1947 addition connects
two non-historic wings to the historic building with a similar spine along
the south wall of the original building, forming the .total building ’H’ "
shape (see Attachment A-2). The connecting spine contains a stairway
and an elevator.
As required by a development agreement with the Palo Alto Medical
Foundation (PAMF), the City plans to demolish and remove the non-
historic Roth Building wings by July 2003. The City’s demolition of the
1947 wings will not include the central spine element, which will save the
existing Streamline Moderne stairway, the elevator and a central corridor
with a decoratively patterned floor. Retention of the central spine will
provide approximately 7,000 square feet of additional area for the Roth
Building (refer to Attachment A-2), eliminating the need to impact the
historic building with a new elevator and stairway.
ConstruCted in 1932, the original Roth Building is considered one of the
most important works of Palo Alto’s premier historic architect, Birge
Clark. Designed in Clark’s signature Spanish Colonial Revival style,
features of the building include the low-pitched red tile roof, the
Monterey-style wood balcony at the back of the courtyard, hand-adzed
beams, decorative copper downspouts, circular tiled attic vents, hand-
pressed stucco walls and steel sash. Particularly notable are the fresco
murals flanking the entry doors that depict medical procedures of the early
twentieth century. Victor Amautof, a disciple of the celebrated Mexican
artist Diego Rivera, painted the murals. The siting of the Roth Building is
also significant, as its courtyard was designed around one of the most
majestic oaks in Palo Alto.
B.Property Description, Improvements, Surroundings:
The property available for lease is an approximately 17,000 square foot
building. The historic Roth Building consists of a 9,923 square foot 2-
story building with 9,187 square feet of usable interior space (6,646 on the
first floor and 2,541 on the second floor). The 1947 central spine adds
approximately 7,000 square feet of floor space, consisting of
approximately 2,350 square feet of floor space each on a basement, first
and secondlevel. Because the 1947 spine addition is not determined to be
a significant historic resource, future tenants Of the property may choose to
keep or demolish all or a portion of the spine. However, it should be
noted that when the 1947 wings were added, the south wall .and stairway
of the historic building were completely removed. Reconstruction of this
side of the building, after the removal of the 1947 addition, would be
subject to the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of
Historic Buildings, and would require a new stairway and elevator to be
installed in the original corridor spine.
The landis currently zoned Public Facility (PF). Located in an area.
currently under development, the site will eventually be adjacent to a
public park on the northeast, multiple-family residential on the east and
south and office use on the west.
The site has no on-site parking, and use of the site will require a parking
variance. The Development Agreement with PAMF provides for 60 off-
site public parking spaces for the Roth Building at the proposed office
building at Bryant and Homer (2501270 Homer). The off-site parking
would be provided only on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. until 9
p.m., and on weekday evenings between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.
ROTH BUILDING - REQUIRED USES AND IMPROVEMENTS
GENERAL STATEMENT OF INTENT OF REQUEST FOR
PROPOSALS
The Roth Building is historically significant and will be located adjacen~
to a dedicated public park. It is the City’.s desire to lease the property
¯ under a long term lease to a non-profit group or .organization* that can
improve, maintain and operate the property for a use that is compatible
with the park, benefits the City and community as a whole, preserves and
maintains the historic significance of the property and does not adversely
impact the residential neighborhood. Preference will be given .to non-profit
groups located in or serving Palo Alto.
The City seeks a long-term tenant to improve, maintain and operate the
property so that no cost is incurred by the City for operating or upgrading
the facility and so that public benefit .is generated for.the City.
*NOTE: proposers consisting of more than one non-profit group or organization will be
required to provide evidence of financial commitment as a group.
2
B.ROTH BUILDING - REQUIREMENTS FOR USE
The City will require that the use of the property be of benefit to the City
and community as a whole, that it is consistent with City goals and
objectives as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan, the South of Forest
Coordinated Area Plan (SOFA CAP) and Zoning Ordinance, and that the
impact of the proposed use will not be detrimental to the neighborhood,
community and environment. The City will require public access to the
Roth Building restrooms by users of the adjacent park and also strongly
encourages the provision of a community meeting room as part of the
project.
REQUIREMENTS FOR IMPROVEMENTS, MA!NTENANCE AND
I-USTORIC PRESERVATION.
ImproTements and modifications that will be necessitated l~y .a ¯
future use of the property are not possible to determine precisely
without knowing the nature of the specific use. However, a City
consultant has evaluated the existing architectural and structural
conditions of the historic Roth Building and made
recommendations and estimates of costs for upgrading existing
systems to meet current codes and building practices. The
estimated cost of doing the structural upgrades and exterior shell
renovations is $1,163,000, including a new heating, ~,entilation and
air conditioning system, new stairs and a new elevator. In addition
to the renovations recommendedby the consultant, the Roth
Building needs hazardous materials abatement, electrical,
mechanical, plumbing and telecommunications systems upgraded
or replaced, and the accessibility features (ADA) of the building
need to be evaluated and brought up to the current code. Utility
.services to the building and streetscape elements such as sidewalks
would also need to be evaluated and upgraded. A list of required
improvements and estimated costs are listed in Attachment B and
total $4,360,000. Note that these improvements and costs are for
the historic Roth Building only. Renovating the additional 7,000
square feet of the spine will add approximately $2,000,000 in
project costs..
The property is architecturally and historically significant, and the
City desires to preserve as much of the historic significance and
integrity as possible. General guidelines for historic preservation
are included in the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards of
Rehabilitation for Historic Buildings (see Attachment C). It will be
up to the proposer to show how its proposed improvements and
possible modifications to the property are responsive to the
standards and guidelines for historic preservation and
rehabilitation.
The site has no on-site parking; therefore, use of the site will
require a parking variance, and uses with low parking demand are
preferred. The Development Agreement with PAMF provides for
60 off-site public parking spaces for the Roth Building at the
proposedoffice building at Bryant and Homer (250/270 Homer).
The off-site parking would be provided only on Saturdays and
Sundays from 8 am until 9 p.m., and on weekday evenings
between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.

ATTACHMENT C
Secretary of the Interior’ s Standards for Rehabilitation*
A property shall be used for its’ historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires
minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and
environment.
The historic character of the property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of
historic material or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be
avoided.
Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use. Changes
that create a false sense of historic development, such as adding conjectural features, or
. architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken.
Most properties change over time: Those changes that have acquired historic significance
in their own right shall be retained and preserved.
Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftmanship
that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. "
Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the
old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials.
Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical or
pictorial evidence.
Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic
materials shah not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be
undertaken using the gentlest means possible.
Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved.
If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measure shall be undertaken.
New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic
materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated form the
old and shal! be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architecturalfeatures to
protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.
New additions and adjacent or related new construction shah be undertaken in such a
manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity o~ the historic
property and its environment would be unimpaired.
*Guidelines for these Standards are available for public review in the Palo Alto Planning
Department.

EXHIBIT II
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation*
A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires
minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and
environment.
The historic character of the property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of
historic material or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be
avoided.
Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use. Changes
that create a false sense of historic development, such as adding conjectural features or
’architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken.
10.
Most properties, change over time: Those changes that have acquired historic significance
in their own right shall be retained and preserved.
Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftmanshipthat characterize a historic property shall be preserved.
Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration, requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the
old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials.
Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical or
pictorial evidence.
Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic
materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be
unddrtaken using the gentlest means possible.
Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved.
If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measure shall be undertaken.
New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic
materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated form the
old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to
protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.
New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a
manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic
property and its environment Would be unimpaired.
*Guidelines for these Standards are available for public review in the Palo Alto Planning
Department.
