Subject: FW: Auction packages currently on the market
Update on Caltrans parcels in West Oakland
On July 1st Caltrans received bids for 2 West Oakland parcels that were on the market for auction. (see attached auction
packages)
5th & Magnolia
o 5 bids total ranging from approximately $800K to $1.2 Mil
o selected bidder is Silas Tao for $2.6 Million
Brush & Castro
o 8 bids total ranging from approximately $1.2 Mil to $2.6
o selected bidder is Silas Tao for $2.6 Million
o Ram Hotels was amongst one of the bidders, offering $1.8 million
It is unknown what Silas Tao intends to develop on the sites or what.
He has 45 days to back out of offer.
Caltrans staff plans to take Purchase Agreement to CTC on August 26th for approval.
Closing can happen up to 180 days after that.
Next, Caltrans staffer (Renata) is getting ready to package Parcel A of the Mandela parcels for auction (estimate
August) with bids due in October. Ive asked Renata to keep me in the loop on this so that I make sure we get the
participation of those the City wants to bid on the site. In particular, I am thinking about those who have contacted us
asking about hotel sites.

Dear Lynette,
As a follow up to our last discussion, the following is a brief update on our good progress and community outreach since
our last presentation.
First, Our agreement with the hotel Union has been finalized, and we will confirm with you when the agreement with
the construction Union finalized which we anticipate will be early next week. See the email from Ty Hudson below.
Second, we have confirmed our scope, estimated job creation, and updated detailed proforma which includes 15% of
the residential units as affordable with staff (Jens Hillmer).
Third, we have had some very good community meetings, and we hope to have a good turnout for our informational
Community Gathering Event this Monday evening (www.uptown4oakland). We expect to have the support from a
number of local groups, including the East Bay Small Business Council (Darrell Carey), Pop Up Hood (Sarah Filey),
Oakland Public Conservatory of Music (Angela Wellman), and the Oakland Pastor Leadership Group. OM/SUDA will
continue to reach out and build alliance with the community.
Thanks again for your strong consideration of our Team. We will continue to work hard to earn the full trust and support
of City of Oakland.
All the Best,
Dan Nishikawa

Dan, thanks. We will sign and return, and I will pass along the good news to folks at the City. We will certainly be at the
next City Council hearing and will be supportive of the project. We can talk about details of that between now and then.
I will be out of town on Monday afternoon, but I'll see if someone is around that could go to the event.
Happy Holidays!

Wayne
Once again BART continues to disrespect and dishonor minorities and our community. How might we have any trust in

your agency? I spoke to you regarding the June 26, 2015 Leadership Forum several times and emailed you several times
regarding this meeting, in which you affirmed that you would be in attendance, then you insult us by not attending. As
BART'S Manager of the Office of Civil Rights to fail to attend after you confirmed your presence further let's me know
you that you and your agency should not be trusted when dealing with our communities. To hear second hand that
China Harbor conducted a meeting in West Oakland without fully informing the full community regarding this important
Transit Orientated Development (TOD) again tells me why you and your agency should not be trusted. BART places itself
in the position for a agency Title VI violation. BART receives many federal funds and you, your General Manager, Legal
Counsel, and elected official's actions continues to place your agency in a failed postion. Your agency does not and will
not drive the values of our community. We the people are the share-holders not you are BART'S staff or any Exclusive
Negotiated Agreement (ENA) proposed contractor/developer will control that. Your failure to attend this meeting are
anyone from your staff shows a level of complexity by all at BART and must and will be addressed. All you needed to do
was come and address the issues of contracting at BART and you failed to do that. You & your agency have not and will
not have heard the last of this issue I assure of that.
Disappointed,
Darrel Carey

Alan,
I have asked that they extend an invitation to you for this event. This event is being hosted by a few folks involved with
the Oakland Dialogue hosted by Gary Rogers. I think it will be a good room for you to be in. I use the
[email protected] address when introducing you to others. Is that correct?
