redevelopments, coordination of the public infrastructure with the private utilities; and segmentation of <br />the improvements based on federal vs. local approval processes. <br />POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />The Twin Lakes project has long been identified as a priority for the City. The awarding of a contract to <br />begin the design work for the Twin Lakes infrastructure is critical in order to keep the overall <br />redevelopment project moving forward. Cent Ventures recently received final approval for their hotel <br />project. CSM Development and McGough Development continue to move forward on plans for their <br />sites. Metro Transit has submitted plans for the construction of park- and -ride parking structure along <br />Mount Ridge Road. The design work will set grade elevations; define the location of roads and <br />roundabouts; right- of- way needs; driveway locations; sewer and water line locations; and facilitate a <br />comprehensive storm water design. The developers will need to know all of this information in order to <br />develop their plans for approval and to submit for building permits. A City -led design effort will also <br />lead to design consistency and efficiency and ultimately a lower cost for the project. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br />Staff originally estimated the costs of the design of the infrastructure to be approximately $400,000. The <br />following is a summary of the each firm's "not to exceed" costs: <br />Bolton & Menk, Inc. <br />$5251244.00 <br />imle - Horn & Associates <br />$4741143.00 <br />SEH, Inc <br />$4961257.00 <br />SRF <br />$5951917.00 <br />WSB & Associates. <br />$4551036.0 <br />After careful evaluation of the work scopes and qualifications of the consultants, staff is recommending <br />that we contract with WSB & Associates for this work. <br />There are currently several available funding sources that could be used to pay for the design, namely <br />the Centre Pointe TIF district and the older Twin Lakes TIF District (District 11) . Existing TIF 11 has a <br />balance of approximately $2.5 million, which staff recommends be utilized to fund the design work. <br />The recently adopted Infrastructure Improvements for the Twin Lakes AUAR Area has the design costs <br />included as part of the costs. Therefore, the City's expenditures will eventually be recaptured through <br />payment by the developers. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Approve contract with WSB & Associates to complete the design work for the Twin Lakes AUAR <br />Subarea I Infrastructure Improvements. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />Approve contract with WSB & Associates to complete the design work for the Twin Lakes AUAR <br />Subarea I Infrastructure Improvements. <br />Prepared by: Debra Bloom, City Engineer <br />Attachments: A: Twin Lakes Public Infrastructure Improvement Map <br />B: Draft Consultant Contract <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
