Michael Grochala
July 14, 2014
Consider Resolution No. 14-73, Authorizing
Professional Services Agreement with CNH
Architects, Fire House No. 2
Simple Majority
Staff is requesting council authorization to enter into a professional services agreement with
CNH Architects for the Site Selection, Design and Construction Administration of Fire House
No. 2.
BACKGROUND
On June 2, 2014, the City Council approved Resolution No. 14-50 which, in part, directed staff
to solicit proposals for architectural and engineering services for the construction of Fire House
No. 2. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was answered by five (5) firms of which three (3)
were selected to submit detailed proposals. Proposals were submitted by the following firms on
June 30, 2014:
• BKV Group
• CNH Architects
• SEH, Inc.
Presentation were held on the afternoon of June 30, 2014 by the review committee which
included Council Member Rafferty, City Administrator, Public Safety Director, Community
Development Director and two representatives from the New Brighton Public Safety
Department. Review criteria included:
1. Previous experience with design of Fire Stations;
2. Knowledge and understanding of the scope of work;
3. Availability of the firm and proposed project schedule; and
4. Cost of services.
Based on this review process the review committee is recommending CNH Architects be
retained as the architect for the project. While all the firms were highly qualified to perform the
requested services, CNH's proposal stood out. Availability, strength of project team, and
proposed process were all determining factors in the selection. The proposed fee for services is
$129,000 plus reimbursable expenses. Additional subconsultant costs for environmental
services, including soil borings, are expected upon site selection. These costs would be required
regardless of the firm selected.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 14-73.
