CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING SHEET <br />Submittal Date: <br />Originating Department: <br />Presented By: <br />A,genda Item No.: <br />12/21/11 <br />Public Works <br />Ronald J. Sullivan, P.E, Public <br />Council Date: <br />Works Director <br />15. <br />O1/09/12 <br />RECOMMENDED MOTION: <br />Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute a Professional Services Contract with MHS Planning & <br />Design for development of a master plan for Bywaters Park. <br />POLICY ISSUE(S): <br />Parks and Facility Maintenance <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Recently staff was asked to prepare a master plan for Bywaters Park. Due to the fact that this park is a <br />high profile facility and the numerous groups that should have input on the design of this facility (Main <br />Street, the Historical Commission and Keep Paris Beautiful to mention a few) we felt that it would be <br />wise to enlist the services of a design professional skilled with dealing with such issues. <br />Subsequently we requested a proposal from Mark Spencer with MHS Planning & Design for <br />development of a master plan for Bywaters Park. Mr. Spencer's firm recently developed a similar plan <br />for Reagan Park in Palestine. His firm also designed our athletic complex. The base fee for this <br />contract is $12,950.00. <br />While no funds were budgeted for this project $500,000 was included in the Capital Program for Parks <br />Improvements. <br />Staff recommends authorizing the Interim City Manager to execute a Professional Services Contract <br />with MHS Planning & Design for development of a master plan for Bywaters Park in the amount of <br />$12,950.00. <br />BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />EXHIBITS: <br />Resolution and Agreement <br />ACTION: <br />BUDGET INFO: <br />❑ Financial Report ❑ Minute Order <br />Expense <br />$ 12,950.00 <br />❑ Department Report Z Resolution <br />Budgeted Amt. <br />$ <br />❑ Presentation ❑ Ordinance <br />y'I'D Actual <br />$ 0 <br />❑ Public Hearing ❑ Other <br />Acct.
