6.1.E. - Page 1 REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager January 22, 2018 SUBJECT Agreement with Moore lacofano Goltsman, Incorporated (MIG) to conduct a Park Needs Assessment RECOMMENDATION By motion, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with MIG, Inc. in the amount of $69,980 to conduct a Park Needs Assessment BACKGROUND In 2008, the City hired the firm of Moore lacofano Goltsman (MIG) to develop a park needs assessment report for future planning of the parks system. This detailed assessment and final report allowed the City to review demographic and recreation trend information and identify locations for additional parks and community recreation facilities within Redwood City. The original 2008 report has helped to guide capital improvement priorities over the last nine years. Many of the recommendations from this report have been completed. An updated report will help guide decision making for the next ten years and provide the nexus for adjusting the park impact fee rates on developments within the City. ANALYSIS Staff received and evaluated two consultant proposals and found MIG's proposal to be responsive within the project funds available. The agreement requires MIG to assemble data developed by staff, facilitate community input on the recreational needs of the Redwood City community, identify community and industry trends, develop criteria to be used in determining the location of potential new parks and community recreational facilities, and develop costs and funding sources for the future. This project should be complete within nine months from date of contract execution. The two proposals that the City received were from MIG, Inc. and Gates and Associates. MIG, Inc. is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder at $69,980. Gates and Associates provided a bid of $78,250.
