The New Sixth Appellate District Courthouse for the Courts of Appeal involves the design and construction of the New Sixth Appellate District Courthouse on behalf of the Courts of Appeal, utilizing the design build delivery method, stipulated sum, on a 2-acre Judicial Council-owned site in the city of Sunnyvale, California and formally operated as the Sunnyvale Courthouse by the Santa Clara County Superior Court. The Project requires the demolition of the vacant Sunnyvale Courthouse and the design and construction of a new, approximately 50,000 square-foot, 2 story appellate courthouse. The Project includes a single courtroom for oral arguments, justice chambers, attorney offices, mediation conference rooms, clerk’s office, a law library, court administration, and building support. B.The new courthouse will replace the appellate court’s current leased space in downtown San Jose and will provide a permanent state-owned home for the Sixth Appellate District and eliminate future lease uncertainties and ongoing expensive and escalating lease costs. C.The Project site will include secured parking for justices and surface parking for the public and staff. The Project site is approximately 2.03-acres and is located off of El Camino Real (State Route 82) and bounded to the north by All America Way and the City of Sunnyvale’s Civic Center and City Hall. The Project site is mid-block between Mathilda Avenue to the east and Pastoria Avenue to the west. The vacant Sunnyvale Courthouse is a single-story building with a partial basement of approximately 19,994square feet constructed in 1967 that will be demolished as part of the construction work. The existing parking lot for the vacant courthouse will be removed, full removal and re-pavement of the existing access driveway, and the existing parking area east of the access driveway will be ground and repaved, including landscape replacement.
