Recommendation :

It is recommended that the City Council:

• Approve the attached agreement between the city of Hermosa Beach and David Evans and Associates for $67,210;
• Authorize the City Clerk to attest and the Mayor to execute said agreement, upon approval as to form by the City Attorney; and
• Authorize the Director of Public Works to make changes to the contract amount not-to-exceed $6,721.

 

Background :

The 1999-2000 Capital Improvement Project Budget has included a project for the design and construction of Valley Park Improvements (see Attachment 1).

The services of a consultant Landscape Architect are needed to supplement the design capacity of the Public Works Director’s office. These services will include the preparation of detailed design plans, specifications, cost estimates and other construction documents as required.

Proposals were received from the following firms:

• David Evans and Associates Ontario, CA $ 67,210
• Melendrez-Babalas Los Angeles, CA $ 72,863
• Purkiss-Rose-Rsi Fullerton, CA $ 91,100
• Takata and Associates Pasadena, CA $143,651

 

Analysis :

Each proposal was evaluated on the basis of the scope of services, similar projects, resumes of key personnel, fee schedule and work schedule.

After conducting design team interviews and evaluating submitted proposals, David Evans and Associates scored the highest number of points.

Consultant	Melendrez-Babalas	Purkiss-Rose-Rsi	Takata and Associates	David Evans and Assoc.
Panel #1	77	71	76	72
Panel #2	71	66	70	67
Panel #3	60.5	62	61.5	62.5
Panel #4	61	68.5	57	69.5
Total Score	269.5	267.5	264.5	271

Therefore, staff has selected David Evans and Associates to provide the required services for a fee of $67,210.

David Evans and Associates will be required, per the request for proposals, to develop and submit three (3) alternative schematic designs to the project review committee, attend four (4) public meetings, ten (10) jobsite meetings and up to four (4) additional meetings with staff during the life of the project.

It has been determined that the Hermosa Valley School site is not a viable location for a detention basin. However, as it is conceived, CIP 98-304, the 16 ^th Street Storm Drain Improvements Project will not work without a detention basin at the school site. Staff is working with the County to establish another viable alternative to relieve flooding the valley. One alternative being considered is a relief drain on Pier Ave. Therefore, improvements to Valley Park will not affect the Storm Drain Improvements Project.

 

Fiscal Impact :

The current budget for this project is $359,894. After paying $67,210 for the landscape architectural design and engineering, there will be $287,729 available for construction.
