(4/5ths Vote: Yes X No
As a result of ongoing City growth, plus the Montgomery annexation, the
question of adequacy of space at current civic center facilities had been
raised. In October, 1987, staff proceeded to seek proposals from qualified
firms to prepare a space needs analysis and Civic Center master plan.
Approximately 30 firms were mailed copies of the Request for Proposals and the
six firms that responded were selected for interviews and evaluations. The
recommended firm is Danielson Design Group.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the attached resolution approving the
agreement with Danielson Design Group and appropriate an additional $15,250
for the Civic Center Master Plan Study.
• BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: None.
DISCUSSION:
1. Consultant Selection Process
On December 8, 1987, an interview panel consisting of five staff
representatives from the Engineering, Finance, Management Services and
Planning Departments evaluated the candidates' experience, capacity, and
qualifications to undertake the project. The six firms interviewed were:
a. Buss, Silvers, Hughes & Associates
b. Danielson Design Group
c. MacKinlay, Winnacker, McNeil & Associates
d. Martinez/Wong & Associates
e. Steinmann, Grayson, Smylie
f. Walter Collins Associates
After the interview process and the ranking of each candidate firm, City
staff further reviewed each firm's references and determined that
Danielson Design Group possessed the best qualifications to carry out the
project.
2. Civic Center Piaster Plan
• The Civic Center Master Plan project will involve the following elements:
a. A space needs analysis involving the inventory of existing floor
space and review of expected short-term and long-term organizational
growth/changes to departments.

b. Development of site expansion alternatives including floor area,
parking, equipment, etc. for the next 20 years.
c. A preliminary construction budget estimate will be prepared which
will include site costs, operational analysis of the site, civic,
architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical discipline
items.
d. Preparation of a 20-year master plan developed with phasing
increments related to expansion needs.
3. The proposed Civic Center Master Plan and related work is expected to
require nine months for completion and presentation. Staff and the
consultant will be meeting periodically throughout the project, and the
Planning Commission and City Council will be presented with a space needs
report for approval prior to developing the final conceptual master plan
and budget. Final Council approval will be required at that time.
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated total project cost is $65,250. C.I.P, project
number GG-105 (Master Plan for Civic Center) has been approved with a total
budget amount of $50,000; therefore, an additional $15,250 would need to be
appropriated from the General Fund.
