Council Action: Moved by Council Member Hart, seconded by Council Member
Swerdlin and carried unanimously, 5-0, to direct City staff to return to a future
meeting with an analysis of the two options:
1. L-shaped parking lot running along the border of the Rios property and the
Niccola property.
2. The original design. Consistent with earlier direction, the option of a parking
lot on the CRA-Trulis property will not be considered.
Within those options staff will evaluate and provide recommendations on:
Appropriate buffer between the Niccola s and Montanez property and the
parking lot/RV storage;
• A "nature walk" connecting to Ramos Street
• Phased approach to allow the parking lot to be implemented as soon as
possible within the City's fiscal limitations.
Assumed within all option:
• The parking lot will be asphalt rather than gravel or other less improved
surface.
• The RV storage lot will be gravel
• The trees will be retained within the parking lot and RV storage to the
maximum extent practical.
Security issues will be carefully evaluated

AGENDA ITEM E 4
TO: George Scarborough, City Manager
FROM: William M. Huber, Director of Engineering and Building
SUBJECT: Consideration of Master Agreements for Long -Term Plan Check and Design
Services Team
RECOMMENDATION
By motion, approve 38 consultant service agreements to provide Plan Check and Design
Services fora (3) yearterm with (2) one-year extensions, not to exceed $50,000 per project
proposal, per year.
A. Summary and Recommendation
The concept of a Plan Check Team was originally introduced in 1992 and, to date,
has worked very well. It was created as a means to improve service delivery to
resident and developer plan check. The concept has proven successful in that it
has resulted in improved efficiencies. Our current contracts expire on
December 31, 2001. Therefore, staff has solicited proposals and is requesting that
38 firms be recommended for a three-year term with two one-year extensions.
B. Background
History
On January 21, 1992, City Council approved the concept of creating a plan
check consultant team consisting of a select group of consultants. The team
concept creates a long-term contract with each consultant. The purpose of
the team concept is to have available consultants with pre -approved
contracts and insurance in place and ready to go to work. The team
concept allows staff to expeditiously process all consultant plan checking.
In addition, the plan check team agreements all required that they perform
their services at a specified percentage of the City's fees, which guarantees
costs and assures that City staff is also compensated for processing from the
remaining balance. All consultants agree to a fee not to exceed 65% and
80% depending upon the type of plan check. In many instances, the fees
are negotiated lower, especially on larger projects. Upon expiration of the
initial three year term, and having had a positive experience with this
concept, the master listing was reviewed, updated, and again brought to
Council for approval in January 1997. The updated listing included design
services in addition to plan check services.

2. Selection Process
11
A Request for Proposal was sent to 44 firms. Many of these firms were on
the existing list, with others being added at a staff member's request. Of the
44 firms, 38 responded with proposals. The proposals included general
engineering and building firms, as well as a number of specialty firms. The
specialty firms include areas such as geotechnical, traffic, building structural
and water quality services. A review team consisting of the Department
Director and an Administrative Assistant reviewed the proposals for the
following elements:
• Consistency with the scope of work
• Ability to meet schedules
• Past performance of similar work
• Individual(s) specified to work on projects
• Ability to meet fee requirements
• Qualifications of firm in handling required work
Staff believes that all 38 firms qualify based on the above criteria. As this
is a three-year contract with two one-year extensions, there is no need to
narrow the field. Staff prefers to spread projects among the teams as work
becomes available. This provides more flexibility and allows work to be
performed in a more efficient and timely manner. The following list shows

3. Process
Plan Check Services - As previously stated, plan check services are to be
performed at a not -to -exceed fee based on a fixed percentage of the City's
calculated plan check cost. This eliminates the need to negotiate fees and
allows staff to select a consultant and request they perform the work at the
agreed upon price. No time is wasted with costly proposals, reviews, and
fee negotiations.
Design Services — Services not covered by fee recovery, such as design for
a City capital improvement project, will continue to require that staff solicit
proposals from at least three members of the team. Proposals will then be
evaluated and followed by consultant selection. If the fee exceeds the
amended limit established under the master contract, then it will be
forwarded to the City Council for review and approval. However, no new
agreements will be required norwill insurance certifications cause delays, as
they will already be in place.
COMMISSION/BOARD REVIEW, RECOMMENDATIONS
N/A
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Costs for plan check services will be fully funded from engineering and building fees.
Design services would be funded from respective capital improvement projects. Based on
fees projected to be collected, a budget for consultant services is developed annually to
cover the costs of these contracts.
