Attachment to Agenda Summary Form
Subject: Misc. Town Planning/Urban Design Services Contracts
Background Information:
Resolution R 05-0185, adopted 3/24/05, authorized the City Manager to negotiate a
Professional Services Agreement for an amount not to exceed $500,000, to provide
professional town planning/urban design services for the creation of a Long Range
Strategic Plan for the Dept. of Parks and Recreation. The proposed scope of services
provides the level of detail necessary to develop a concise and detailed Master Plan for
the City's Parks and Recreation system. However, because this is the first time the City
embarks on generating a Master Plan of this kind, a significant amount of field work and
public outreach is necessary to assess the physical condition of the existing facilities and
to identify the programmatic needs of our constituents and visitors resulting in the need to
increase the amount the Manager is authorized to negotiate from $500,000 to $700,000.
Results of this in-depth study will also facilitate in the application for grants and other
funding sources to offset the expenses of modernization and expansion of the system.
The Department of Parks and Recreation as well as the Planning Department feel that
scaling back the scope will greatly affect the outcome and quality of the deliverables and
would detrimentally impact the City's goal to provide excellent parks and recreational
programs to its citizens and visitors. Upon adoption of this amendment, the Planning
Department will continue the negotiations and seek formal Commission approval of the
negotiated agreement.
