r,7- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 11. 1111178 STAFF REPORT Report Number: 93-461WS VP, AGENDA SESSION DATE April 5, 1993 Report Date: 4-1-93 DISPOSITION Item Description: City Hall Expansion Administrator's Review/Recommendation: - No comments to supplement this report - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) ,SUMMARY: Staff has contacted Short-Elliott-Hendrickson regarding the feasibility of their providing architectural services for the proposed City Hall expansion. The estimated cost from SEH is $17 ,000 to prepare detailed plans and specifications. This is based on staff preparing the conceptual layout and SEH using the layout to create detailed architectural, electrical and mechani- cal plans and specifications. This is a very rough estimate and SEH felt it may go down depending on the amount of City staff involvement. The question for Council is two-fold. First, should staff send out Requests for Proposals; and second, how much involvement should staff commit to this project. The estimate is more than I originally anticipated and is in the amount that we would normal- ly ask for RFP's; but, this is not necessarily required. RFP's would allow staff to review a number of firms, but that becomes an additional time commitment and slows the time line for actual expansion work. Staff involvement in the design and layout would necessarily impact some of the time tables for goals discussed last Monday at the special work session. If staff involvement is limited to the minimum, the cost of services may increase somewhat. Staff would like to get direction from Council regarding whether to request proposals, what time line to establish for the project ang the extent of staff involvement. 01 Ric Mi -tor City Engineer/Director of Public Works RECOMMENDATION:
