January 7, 1981 MEMO TO, James G. Willis, City Manager FROM: Eric Blank, Parks and. Recreation Director SUBJECT: Selection of Neighborhood Park Design Consultant In March of last year, staff and PRAC conducted extensive interviews to find a landscape architectural firm to design Timbershores and Mission Parks.. Following that review process, both staff and PRAC, recommended the selection of Design. Consortium, Inc. to the City Council. Due to the passage of the park bond referendum, the Council decided to delay work on these two parks until 1981. Having reviewed this background with PRAC and other city staff, I thought that it would not be necessary to interview other firms if Design Consortium, Inc. was able to do the work at a reasonable price. I have met with Damon Farber of Design Consortium two times to review their company and their proposal dated March 13, 1980. Based on these meetings, I asked. Mr. Farber to update his proposal using todey's cost and include the cost of designing Schmidt Lake Park. Below is a cost comparison of the two proposals: 1980 1981 Estimated project cost - 100,000 225,000 Fee based on - 10% of work 80 of work. Estimated fee 9,100 Mission $ Timber 11,128 Schmidt 5,564 16,692 Hourly Rates Principal 42/hour 45/hour Professional staff and draftsmen 2.5 x direct 2.5 x direct expense expense Exclusions Topographical surveys Soil investigation Plans and document reproduction Mileage - 19/mile Long distance phone calls Photographic and document reproduction Soil investigation Invoiced at cost MemotoJames: G. Willis r Re: Selection of Neighborhood Park Design Consultant. January 7, 1981 Page 2. Any design changes following scheduled approvals by PRAC and Council will be prepared on a straight hourly basis. Recommendation: T recommend the City Council authorize the City Manager and Mayor to enter into an agreement with Desig; Consortium, Inc.., for the design of Timbershores, Mission and Schmidt Lake Parks based.on their proposal dated December 29, 1980. It is understood that the work on Schmidt Park will not proceed until the City has clear 'title to the property. nh CJ December 29, 19s0 Mtn, Eric Blank Parks and Recreation Director 3400 Plymouth Blvd'.

Introduction The proposal which follows contains much of the same information delineated in our original sub— mission of M rch 13, 1380, Since that time, however, the City of Plymouth has included an additional park,, Schmidt, to the two initially* cons idered. For the sake: of compzimr n, we: will deal with this third park as a. separate fee: item although the working process and approach will parallel that ootlined for the Timber shoros, and Mission neighborhood facilities. Additionally, within the past year, Design Consortium has increased its landscape architectural staff and received a number of recreation -oriented commissions. This will be dcalt with later in this proposal.. Approach. The approach Which we suggest provides for partici— pation by City. PRAC, and neighborhood reg; ident4 a ,, integral members of the Team. By working together we will. develop 1) conceptual alternative schemes, I) final designs, 3 j constrllcton documents and, 41 implementation of the projects. One of `the more significant aspects of coordinating an effective project, is the inclusion of those groups and personal! ties upon whom the project ti i 11 in. pact Part of our role will be to assist the: City cif Plymouth in its public participation program at the neighborhood level. We have met with the Parks and Recreation Uircator to discuss the four steps outlined in Mr. Blank's memo or December 22, 1980 and feel comfortable that the public participation process outlined will allow an objective anct efficient neighborhood in— volvement, process to evolve.
