ADMINISTRATION - Robert Therres, Asst. City Manager/Public Services Mgr.
Title
AUTHORIZE MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH WOLD ARCHITIECTS AND ENGINEERS TO PROVIDE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES FOR CITY HALL IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $234,300
Background
In November of 2018, during a workshop discussion on City Hall Improvements, the City Council consensus was for staff to solicit Request for Proposal’s (RFP’s) for design services for City Hall improvements, but not to include an additional vehicle garage in the improvements at this time.
Staff has advertised and sent out RFP’s to Architectural firms and received six proposals with fees ranging from $230,000 to $400,000. After review of the proposals, based on similar project experience, process, and price staff decided to interview 292 Design and Wold Architect and Engineers.
Interviews were held with these two firms and City Staff is recommending that Wold Architect and Engineers be selected as the Architectural firm to provide the City with design services for City Hall Improvements in the amount of $234,300.
292 Design’s proposed fee was $251,600.
The City Hall improvement project is proposed to be funded by Capital Improvement Bonds and these fees would be included in the bonds. Separate action by the City Council is required to initiate the Capital Improvement Bond process.
Recommendation
By motion, authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a Contract with Wold Architect and Engineers in the amount of $234,300 for design services for City Hall/Police Department Improvements.
