CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH RGA LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, INC.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve a Contract Services Agreement with RGA
Landscape Architects, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $26,500.00 for
landscape architectural services for Mesquite Avenue Median Re-design project,
City Project No. 95-38.
BACKGROUND:
The Mesquite Avenue Median Landscape and irrigation plans were initially
designed by RBF and approved by the City in January 1999. Construction
began in June 1999 under a contract awarded by Council to Tapuz Enterprises in
April 1999.
During the course of construction, the City was enjoined by the court from
proceeding with planting in the Mesquite median as a result of legal action
brought by Martin Communications against the City.
The staff has been working with Markin to attempt to agree on an acceptable re-
design concept. Conceptual agreement has been reached. This Contract
Services Agreement will result in preparation of the plans and specifications
consistent with that re-design concept.
City staff had requested proposals from four qualified consultant landscape
architectural firms for the re-design, and 2 proposals have been received:
1. RGA Landscape Architects Inc., Palm Desert
2. RBF & Associates, Irvine
City staff from the Planning and Engineering Departments have reviewed the
proposals and recommends RGA Landscape Architects Inc. as the firm most
qualified to perform the professional services for the City.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a Contract Services Agreement
with RGA Landscape Architects Inc., in an amount not to exceed $26,500.00.
