CITY-WIDE PARKS MASTER PLAN, GREENBELT MASTER PLAN
AND PARKS FINANCING STUDY, AND AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAID AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, policies contained within the Parks and Recreation Element of the City of

Plan that will guide the implementation of new and existing parks as well as a 27-mile open
space and trails system that will link the City's local parks; and
WHEREAS, a parks financing study is proposed to adequately address necessary
financing strategies for the implementation of resulting policies of the proposed Parks Master
Plan; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the City Council waive the formal bidding process
for the selection of consulting services, as defined in Section 2.56.070 of the Municipal Code,
citing the following findings: 1 ) there is a necessity to expedite the completion of the Parks
Master Plan to meet community needs in the new master planned developments, 2) there are
limited firms with specialized expertise in preparing municipal park master plans that do not
have a financial conflict of interest with at least one of the developers within the City that
might be impacted by the findings of these policy documents, and 3) it is impractical to
conduct a formal bid process for consultant services as identified in paragraph 2.56.070; and
WHEREAS, in-lieu of conducting the above formal bid process, an informal bid process
consistent with Section 2.56 of the Municipal Code, was conducted for the selection of a
qualified consultant; and
WHEREAS, staff prepared and issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the preparation
of a City-wide Parks Master Plan, Greenbelt Master Plan and Parks Financing Study to at least
five qualified consulting firms with experience in municipal parks, open space and trails
master planning; and
WHEREAS, a total of four qualified proposals were received and a selection process
was conducted by staff appointed by the office of the City Manager; and
WHEREAS, based on project related and comprehensive evaluation criteria and
interview performance, the selection committee ranked the top firms as to resources and
qualifications for the preparation of the Parks Master Plan, Greenbelt Master Plan and Parks
Financing Study and selected PBR Consultants with its proposal for ~ 163,890; and
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby waive the
formal bid process for the selection of consulting services.
