Title
ACCEPTING THE PROPOSAL FOR A PARK SYSTEM MASTER PLAN IN THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $89,981 FROM WSB & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Background
Staff sent out an RFP to multiple consulting firms in February for a Park System Master Plan and Aquatore and Happy Acres Park Master Plan. Two proposals were submitted by the firms below. The city has worked with both firms in the past. Funds will come from the Parks CIP which council approved on February 1 of this year. WSB & Associates came in with the low bid and has extensive background with many other cities doing not only park system master planning but “Signature Park” planning and redevelopment. In addition, WSB is currently the firm working on the 2040 Comp plan which will be very helpful throughout this process.
WSB & Associates Inc: $89,981
SRF Consulting Group Inc: $97,586.
The Park Board reviewed both proposals and has recommended the WSB & Associates Inc. proposal for City Council approval.
Recommendation
By motion, accept the proposal for a Park System Master Plan in the amount not to exceed $89,981 from WSB & Associates Inc.
