Title
Resolution to Approve Five-Year Professional Services Agreements for As-Needed Architecture Services for Parks & Recreation with A3C Collaborative Architecture, InToto Studio, and Hubbell, Roth & Clark, Inc. (NTE Annual $300,000.00 Per Firm)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is a resolution to approve Professional Services Agreements with three architecture firms to provide architectural design services for capital improvements and renovation projects within the Parks & Recreation system.
Project Description
Parks & Recreation Services often requires the services of consultants to perform architectural design work on multiple projects, including, but not limited to, renovations of existing buildings, design for new structures such as shelters and restrooms, evaluation of aging buildings, and restoration of historic structures. This scope of services also includes community engagement as needed.
Issuing RFPs and selecting consultants for each project individually is labor intensive for both the City and consultants. Pre-qualifying consultants with appropriate experience to perform the work saves valuable staff time and expedites project completion.
Pre-qualifying consultants was initially implemented fifteen years ago to create efficiencies and streamline the process of choosing consultants for a variety of Parks & Recreation design projects on an as-needed basis. It has proven to be very successful and allows staff to move more quickly and efficiently to perform work. Some of the projects that were completed under prior contracts with pre-qualified architecture firms include design of the Argo Livery restroom renovation and addition, structural evaluation of the West Park bandshell and the Farmers Market Office building, evaluation and repairs to the walls at Veterans Memorial Park Ice Arena, ADA restroom improvements at Cobblestone Farm, and permit drawings for work performed by City Park Operations crews.
