Minutes of the regular meeting of the Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Redlands of December 20 ,
1983, were approved as submitted.
On December 6 , 1983, the Agency authorized
staff to negotiate contracts for two segments
of the revitalization area work. One was to
prepare construction documents for the first
phase (Orange Street from Citrus Avenue to
1-10, and State Street from Orange Street to
Seventh Street) , and the other to prepare
preliminary design plans for the balance of
the downtown revitalization area.
Mr. Quaschnick explained the reason for dividing
the work in this way is that it would allow
the Public Works Department to directly oversee
the engineering portion of the work and the
Redevelopment Department to oversee the
landscaping portion. This would eliminate
the need for one consultant to oversee the
work of the other. Considering the magnitude
and importance of the proposed work, the
experience and qualifications of local design
firms were reviewed along with those of The
Arroyo Group. While knowledge of local
conditions and plant materials is as important
as the cost of design services, Mr. Quaschnick
felt the overriding factor to be considered
was experience in designing the architecture
and landscape of the urban market place. After
careful examination of the experience and
qualification of these three firms, it was
staffs conclusion that the experience of The
Arroyo Group is significantly greater and more
directly related to the task at hand, Therefore,
Mr, Quaschnick recommended that the Agency
authorize the execution of a contract for
engineering and sails testing with Hicks and
Hartwick and a contract for landscaping,
lighting, signs and graphics, and irrigation
with The Arroyo Group.
The Agency members expressed several concerns;
such as, whether we had fully addressed what
we really wanted in downtown and if these
contracts were flexible enough to accommodate
future changes, Mr. Quaschnick indicated that
these contracts would result in final, firm,
working drawings, but that the initial task
60
v=> would be the preparation of preliminary designs
which would come to the Agency for approval
before being finalized.
Member Johnsen moved to authorize the execution
Engineering of a contract with Hicks and Hartwick for
and Soils engineering and soils testing at a coast not
Testing to exceed $17,650 . 00 . Motion seconded by
Contract Member Martinez and carried by AYE votes of
all present.
Member Martinez moved to authorize execution
of a contract with The Arroyo Group for
landscaping, lighting, signs and graphics,
and irrigation at a cost not to exceed $41 , 900 . 00 .
Member Beswick seconded this motion. Agency
members discussed the proposals received from
The Arroyo Group, Gary Poling and Associates,
and Day and Armantrout.
Mr. Poling spoke, thanking the Agency for their
consideration, and told them this project was
well within the scope of his firm. He reminded
Agency members he was a local firm and would
be able to charge less for his services and
fees, and that field inspections were included
in his proposal. He was confident his firm
could complete the project ahead: of schedule
and was close enough to coordinate with Hicks
and Hartwick and the Parks Department.
Following lengthy discussion, the vote was
called for to execute a contract with The
Arroyo Group. Mr. Martinez voted in favor
of his motion but when it became obvious the
motion was going to fail, he requested that
his motion be withdrawn.
Member Johnson, then moved to accept the
Landscaping, proposal for landscaping, lighting, signs and
Lighting, graphics, and irrigation presented by Gary
Signs and Poling and Associates at a cost not to exceed
Graphics, $39, 900 .00 , and to authorize execution of a
Irrigation contract after review by our Agency Attorney.
Contract Motion seconded by Member DeMirjyn and carried
by AYE votes of all present.
Following up on discussion at the Council ' s
workshop, Member Johnson moved to direct the
Reactivate Redevelopment Director to report at their next
Advisory meeting the procedure necessary to reactivate
Board the Redevelopment Advisory Board. Motion
seconded by Member DeMirjyn and carried: by
