(�K CONSULTANT SERVICES CONTRACT DESIGN OF CITY YARD } Rl f t , Public Works Director Donnelly reported to Council that April 5, 1983, the City of Redlands entered into an agreement with Neste, Brudin & Stone, Inc. (NBS) of San Bernardino, to perform planning and engineering services pertinent to expansion of the City Yard facilities at Park Avenue and Tennessee Street. In February of 1984, this planning study was completed. � ,� �t' r The next phase of this project was to complete the architectural and engineering design for the facility. The estimated cost of the construction was $3.5 million. Since the ,, City had engaged Management Services Institute (MSI) to review the City's finances, It was decided to suspend further action on the City Yard project until MSI's study"y was completed. J, Now that the MSI study is completed, Doug Ayres has been asked to provide a method of financing this project. The basic financing methodology involves a tax-exempt agency such as the Redevelopment Agency buying and building the City Yard facilities s and leasing them back to the City. The City pays lease payments on the investment j to the debt service reserve. The underwriter sells the certificates to investors. The ass' difference in the interest rates between invested funds and municipal securities provides �( a funding source. In order to take advantage of the current difference in interest rates, a bid call for gq construction must be made by June 4, 1985. This only allows three months for the �{ entire architectural and engineering design work to be completed and approved. { , f NBS was contacted and stated that they require a minimum of six to eight months in - �I a order to complete the necessary design. In order to accomplish this design work within the specified time constraints, a large architectural and engineering firm must be .`� utilized. Since this schedule does not allow sufficient time to submit RFP's to various -, design firms, one firm with the necessary expertise was contacted and asked to submit fr', a proposal. t, it Albert C. Martin and Associates of Los Angeles has submitted a proposal to provide �t k} the architectural and engineering design for the expansion of the City Yard. They tti�j r jjJ can complete the design in time for a June 4 bid call if authorization to proceed is made on March 5_ `w Councilman Larsen moved to authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with Albert C.
