Description) Finance: Council Notes: Zoo -7 —5/ Agenda Item No. a ao 0 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO—REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Staff Report I Subiect• Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the Mayor to execute a professional services agreement with RJM Design Group, Inc., in the amount of$200,000.00 for the purpose of developing a Park, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Facilities Master Plan. Background: Late last calendar year, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued for the development of a Park, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Facilities Master Plan with the intended purpose of updating the last Master Plan produced in April, 1992. The new update will guide future development, service delivery and enhancement of existing park facilities, trails, open space and recreational services within the City. The updated Master Plan will be accompanied by a strategic plan that will include the various elements needed to implement the Master Plan such as: annual cost estimates for maintenance; financing mechanisms for acquisition, development and maintenance; an action strategy for phasing and financing the recommendations in the Master Plan, timelines for implementing staffing levels, as well as facility and park development timelines and a priority listing. On December 4, 2006, three proposals were received in response to the RFP as follows: 1. RJM Design Group, San Juan Capistrano, California 2. MIG, Berkeley, California 3. RHA Landscape Architects-Planners, Inc., Riverside, California A review committee with representatives from the City Manager's office, Development Services and Parks, Recreation and Community Services evaluated the proposals and interviewed the consultant teams. RJM and MIG were identified as the two top firms and after a final evaluation, RJM Design Group was selected as the firm most qualified for the proposed work. Their proposal is in an amount of$200,000 which equals the project budget (MIG's proposal was in an amount of $197,856). This project is budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2006/2007 Capital Improvement Program (PR07-01) and funded through the Development Impact Fee fund. RJM has been in business for over 20 years providing services to mostly public agencies with considerable experience in Master Plan development. Recent experience includes the cities of Chino Hills, Pasadena, Yucaipa, Dana Point, Costa Mesa, and Azusa. Results of our reference checks for RJM were all positive. Robert J. Mueting, a principal and officer of RJM, will be the project director for the proposed work. He will be assisted by a team of professionals he has assembled with expertise in the relevant areas of plan development. RJM's approach to developing the Master Plan is to first inventory our facilities and programs. An assessment will be performed of each site and along with photographs will become the basis for an individual park profile. Concurrently, an inventory of existing recreation programs will be performed and data collected such as frequency of programs, ages served, attendance and other pertinent details. Once the core inventory information is established the next phase of work will be a community needs assessment. Community input to the Master Plan development will be in the form of workshops, a community-wide telephone survey, a questionnaire, and input from the Mayor and City Council. Results of the information obtained in this phase of work will reveal facility and program demands that will be the foundation for developing a framework of broad goals and policies for open space and recreation resources. Other work necessary to complete the Master Plan includes analyzing demographic data, updating maps of facility locations, evaluating the parks and recreation facility maintenance and operation standards, evaluating recreation programs offered, performing an internal assessment of the department, identifying opportunity sites and preparation of concept plans. Findings, conclusions and recommendations will be summarized and a final draft Master Plan submitted for general public distribution and review, as well as a presentation to the Mayor and Common Council. Subsequently, a finalized document will be prepared incorporating all comments and changes directed by the Mayor and Common Council. This project is expected to take 9 months to complete which will allow adequate time for public participation and review by key stakeholders and policy makers. RJM is prepared to begin work immediately upon approval of a contract. It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Common Council award a professional services agreement to RJM Design Group, Inc., in the amount of $200,000 for the update of the City's Park, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Facilities Master Plan Financial Impact: Funding in the amount of$200,000 was budgeted for this Capital Improvement Project (PR07- 01) in the Development Impact Fee Fund for FY 2006/2007.
