Teele, Jr. and Date: File: Members of the CRA Board JUL 2 8 2003 Subject: Authorizing Contract. with Zyscovich, Inc. for the Omni Redevelopment Plan Update From: Frank K. Rollason CRA Executive Director Enclosures: Resolution 1951*0lui'u :@0339v000L�M It is recommended that the CRA Board of Directors for the OMNI Redevelopment Area adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the Executive Director to enter into an agreement, in a form acceptable 'to General Counsel, with Zyscovich, Inc., to provide professional services to amend the 1986 Omni Redevelopment Plan at a cost not to exceed $715,967.00 with funds appropriated from the OMNI TIF. JUSTIFICATION: i Pursuant to Resolution Omni/CRA R-03-06, adopted on January 27, 2003, (copy attached) Zyscovich, Inc., was "selected, accepted and appointed" as the qualified respondent to the Omni CRA's solicitation for an urban design and planning firm to amend the 1986 Omni Redevelopment Plan and further authorized the Executive Director to execute an agreement, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, and bring back for final approval by the Omni CRA Board of Directors. As Such, the attached Resolution is for contract approval by the Board. In order to contain costs, negotiations resulted in a two phase approach. The first, or initial phase, comprehensive in scope of service to render an end product which will stand on its own without the absolute need for Phase II. If it is determined. by CRA Administration that it would be a good enhancement to include Phase II, a formal proposal will then be submitted by Administration for Board consideration at an additional cost of $224,400.00. Be advised that the time line to complete the plan update is set for 10 months, but that we included within the initial scope of services the development of the Regulatory Plan to accompany the Omni plan update itself; the time line for the Regulatory Plan component is an additional 7 months and would not commence until the Omni Redevelopment Plan update, itself, is completed and accepted by the Board.
