6.1.H. - Page 2 <br />and Verde Design, Inc. was the only qualified firm to submit a proposal. Staff believes <br />that the fast -paced schedule was the reason that only one proposal was received. <br />Verde Design, Inc. and their team have significant experience with park and athletic <br />facility planning and design. The firm and their sub -consultant team also have extensive <br />experience in the public outreach and construction mitigation process which will be <br />crucial for the success of this project. The subject contract has a not to exceed amount <br />of $61,460.00, and approval of the staff recommendation would allow the total amount <br />to increase up to 10% if necessary and with City Manager approval. The City Manager <br />would then be authorized to execute an amendment to the agreement to implement the <br />increase and corresponding changes in the scope of services. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Council may choose not to approve the design services agreement with Verde Design <br />Inc., and direct staff to reissue another RFP. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funding is provided in the Adopted FY 2018-2019 Capital Improvement Program <br />budget. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />This action is not a "project" within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality <br />Act because the activity involves the retention of a consultant to create potential plans <br />which does not create a commitment to a specific project which may result in a direct <br />physical change in the environment nor a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical <br />change in the environment.
