Title
Consider and take action on a resolution to authorize a professional services agreement with PGAL for a library needs assessment in an amount not to exceed $95,975 (Director of Parks and Cultural Services)
Background:
Approval of this agreement will authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with PGAL. The purpose of the needs assessment is to get stakeholders and community input to assist the City to possibly select sites, determine land requirements, conduct public meetings and other related work to move the project forward to conceptual design, along with cost estimates, as it relates to a whole-city Library Services solution: possibly including a new Central and/or Branch library, and/or expansion/renovation of the existing library building at 100 W.Walker.
A committee of staff and board members, including Mayor Pro Tem Todd Kinsey, Kathy Nenninger (Libray Board), Kathleen Marx-Sharp (Friends of Helen Hall Library), Jenny Brewer (City Librarian), Bob Duke (Parks Planner/Project Manager), and Chien Wei (Director of Parks and Cultural Services), was formed to evaluate two architectural firms that submitted proposals through an RFQ process. The committee also evaluated the firms through an interview/presentation process. Based on the information presented, the committee unanimously selected PGAL based on their qualifications, presentation, experience, and knowledge of the project.
Funding for this project in the amount of $90,000 was approved in the FY2019 Capital budget.
Assessment plan fee: $83,755
