Explanation

Background: This ordinance is to authorize the City Auditor to establish an auditor’s certificate for continued professional architectural, engineering, and construction management services in conjunction with park, trail, and facility capital improvement projects managed by the Recreation and Parks Department.

Ordinance 2467-2022 originally established an auditor’s certificate for the future award of contracts for architectural, engineering, and construction management services. This ordinance will authorize the establishment of a new auditor’s certificate to continue awarding contracts to consultants that have been pre-qualified through 2024 and as previously authorized in Ordinance 2467-2022.

Services that will be provided may include, but are not limited to:

Architectural Design, Structural Engineering
Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing/HVAC Engineering
Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Structural Engineering
Construction Management and Inspection

Benefits to the Public: Having this funding in place for needs as they arise will benefit the community by helping to ensure that parks, trails, and facilities remain accessible, safe, updated, and user friendly.

Community Input/Issues: Community input has not been obtained on this legislation because it is being used mainly for staff augmentation needs, as well as, emergency and unanticipated needs. However, community input will be sought as appropriate for work that results from contracts awarded through this auditor certificate.

Area(s) Affected: Citywide (99)

Master Plan Relation: This arrangement will support the Recreation and Parks Master Plan by helping to ensure that parks, trails, and facilities remain accessible, safe, updated, and user friendly.

Fiscal Impact: $450,000.00 is budgeted and available from within the Recreation and Parks Bond Fund 7702 and 7712 to meet the financial obligations of these various expenditures.
