68 Willow Road Project

The 68 Willow Road Project in Menlo Park, California, entails the demolition of an existing office building and surface parking to construct eight three-story residential townhome buildings containing a total of 50 for-sale units, with eight designated as Below Market Rate housing for households earning up to 120 percent of the area median income for purchase or up to 80 percent for rent. The development requires a vesting tentative subdivision map to divide the 2.5-acre site into 50 individual condominium parcels and one common area parcel, implementing a previously approved project identified as SCH 2026051163. The project includes comprehensive site improvements such as stormwater management via bioretention systems, upgraded water and wastewater utilities, fire lines, and adherence to air quality standards that mandate Tier 4 Final-compliant construction equipment and strict idling limits. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City of Menlo Park Municipal Code, the California Density Bonus Law, and Bay Area Air Quality Management District guidelines is central to the approval and execution of the project. Construction is anticipated to span approximately 20 months or 427 workdays, with performance located at 68 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025. Environmental reviews and assessments—including Phase I Environmental Site Assessments per ASTM E1527-21, cultural resource surveys, and hazardous material evaluations for asbestos and lead-based paint—are required prior to and during development. Inspection and acceptance activities occur on-site, with responsibility for compliance shared between the contractor and the City of Menlo Park, which acts as the lead regulatory agency. While the project is administratively linked to the City’s Planning Office and led by Senior Planner Christopher Turner, no federal acquisition regulations (FAR), standardized contract clauses, pricing data, payment details, contracting officer appointments, or procurement evaluation criteria are applicable or included, as the documents pertain exclusively to local land use, zoning, and environmental compliance processes rather than a traditional procurement contract.
