HomeMy WebLinkAbout1/16/2002 - STAFF REPORTS (2) f1 DATE: January 16 , 2002 TO City Council FROM: Director of the Downtown Development Center PARKING STRUCTURE RELOCATION SERVICES FOR THE WEST SIDE OF THE 200 SOUTH INDIAN CANYON DRIVE BLOCK IN DOWNTOWN RECOMMENDATION: That City Council award a contract to Overland Resources of Palm Desert, California in the amount of$10,500 for professional relocation services in regard to the anticipated construction of a parking structure along the west side of the 200 South Indian Canyon Drive block between Arenas Road and Baristo Road, contract to be in a form approved by the City Attorney. SUMMARY: Based upon a presentation on behalf of the "Downtown Parking Think Tank" and subsequent direction from City Council, staff proposes that business and residential relocation services related to the construction of a proposed parking structure at the referenced location proceed at this time in order to expedite the design and construction process. BACKGROUND: In order for this proposed parking structure to begin construction on or about June 1, 2002 and be completed by the end of November, 2002, and thus minimize construction impacts to adjacent businesses and not lose another season before implementation of the needed parking downtown, professional relocation technical assistance services for one business (The Saloon) and two small related adjacent apartment units should begin at this time. Property acquisition negotiations are in process with private land owners at this site, and no substantial obstacles to the assembly of the site under City ownership are anticipated at this time. Staff recommends that the required relocation technical services be provided by Overland Resources of Palm Desert. The reasons for recommending this firm for this time sensitive assignment are as follows: 1) in 1998, after a competitive proposal and selection process, the firm was selected by the City of Palm Springs to perform similar services at the Palm Springs International Airport; 2) they were the only Coachella Valley firm to respond to this previous selection process; and 3) they have done an outstanding job for the City at the airport for a very similar assignment, and are thus highly recommended by staff. ap Downtown Parking Structure Relocation Services January 16, 2002 Page Two Two other Southern California relocation consulting firms (not located in the Coachella Valley) were contacted by staff in regard to their potential interest in this specific assignment, and they declined to respond due to current work loads and travel distance for this small contract. Also, local presence is highly desirable in this type of services contract, since direct contact with businesses and residents in need of these services is very important. This team will continue this relocation consulting services work during the site and building design process for the parking structure, with completion of their work anticipated prior to start of construction at this site. The total cost for this work is $10,500. The funding for this task will come from the Parking Fund (132-4463-43200) and is anticipated to be reimbursed from the eventual proceeds of a bond issue.
