We pay respects to their elders past and present. As a children's mental health agency, it is important for us to know this history, its effects, and honor the spirit, resilience and strength of these communities–each holding their distinct language and cultural practices. Yet, they continue to face systematic injustice today. The Muwekma Ohlone Tribe and the Confederated Villages of Lisjan have made tremendous efforts to re-integrate their tribal identity into the Bay Area as part of a cultural revitalization movement.
For the past 300 years, they have been violently displaced, faced cultural genocide, and forced to assimilate into mainstream society. Over a period of 150 years, 95% of the population was eliminated. Before European contact, the native population in CA used to be one of the highest in North America. They are the original owners and caretakers of the greater San Francisco Bay Area and have continued to care and protect their land today. In late 2017, HerreroBoldt was awarded the next phase of facility planning for the campuses: the MFP 3 project.BACA would like to honor the Muwekma Ohlone (pronounced mah-wek-mah oh loh nee) territory and peoples as well as the Confederated Villages of Lisjan. Our employees have been actively and continuously engaged in project work since at least 2003. The MFP 2 project reflects our long and sustaining relationship with the Alta Bates East Bay campuses, providing preconstruction and construction services. Our team was directly involved with Sutter and the design team in defining scopes, budgets, and schedules, as well as the most effective sequencing of projects and the man-power required for each component. We helped Sutter to complete the necessary surveys, site investigations, user meetings, scoping and planning studies, so that ABSMC could better develop business cases for each component and secure capital to proceed with design and construction. Selected for our estimating expertise, Lean practices, and familiarity with Sutter and the ABSMC East Bay campuses to be impacted, Herrero was particularly instrumental during the validation and preconstruction phase. Other scopes included in the campus overhaul include: multiple Cath Labs, Hybrid OR, Emergency Department, Bulk O2 Replacement, new administration offices, ADA improvements, voluntary seismic improvements, Chiller Replacement projects, Bulk O2 and more. The largest, standalone project to result from the MFP 2 engagement is the new ABSMC Dietary/Doctor's Lounge facility, which was just completed and will begin serving the public as of August 5, 2019. The total dollar volume for the work which resulted from MFP 2 is approximately $125 million, and will extend through 2020, when the tower demo and ED are completed. Multiple, simultaneous projects of varying scale within the occupied campus were carefully sequenced, and include life safety improvements, remodel of the administrative offices, the tower demolition, and cafeteria and ED renovations. The MFP 2 project goals are three-pronged, addressing: 1) SB90 Seismic Compliance Upgrades to the Ehmann, East and West Wings of Merritt Pavilion 2) Infrastructure and Operational Improvements and, 3) Strategic Facility Enhancements. In late 2014, Sutter selected Herrero as its partner for the preconstruction and construction services of an ambitious, multi-phased Master Facilities Plan, known as MFP 2.
