SUBJECT: SPHERE OF INFLUENCE STUDY
Background
The City Council at their March 7, 1990 meeting directed staff to
begin a Sphere of Influence Study that would roughly match the
boundaries of Waterworks District No. 1. At that time the Council
was interested in having the results of this study presented to
them no later 90 days from March 7, 1990.
On April 4, 1990 staff presented to the Council a draft Scope of
Work for a Sphere of Influence Study to be sent out to selected
planning consultants in a Request for Proposal (RFP). On April 20,
1990 the RFP was sent out to six consultant firms (including PBR).
The RFP was both mailed and FAXED. Also, a phone call was made to
each firm advising them of a short time frame to complete their
proposal.
The RFP required that all replies be submitted by 5:00 p.m. May 7,
1990. Of the six consultants contracted only PBR provided a reply
to the City's RFP. A copy of the PBR proposal has been provided
under separate cover.
Discussion
The Phillips Brandt Reddick (PBR) proposal differs from the City's
RFP in several ways . First, PBR' s proposal does not inc 1 ude a
"Plan of Services." It is their opinion that one is not necessary
to process a Sphere change through LAFCO. PBR cites the fact that
a "Plan for Services" is detailed and costly item which is not
necessary to achieve a Sphere amendment. Second, the PBR proposal

suggests the inclusion of this Sphere of Influence Study to be made
a part of the ongoing General Plan Update to the Land Use and
Circulation Elements. PBR states that "the Scope of Work",
schedule and budget herein are contingent upon concurrent
modification to the present General Plan Update Scope of Work.
Third, the PBR proposal does not identify the project area, but
includes that it will cover the City and its logical Sphere area.
The City's RFP listed the general boundaries of Waterworks District
No. 1.
The PBR proposal does identify the need to prepare an EIR for the
Sphere of Influence Study identified in the RFP. However, it is
their recommendation to expand the existing General Plan Update EIR
to include the Sphere of Influence Study area. City staff made no
previous environmental finding, but did request an opinion in the
RFP.
There is an optional phase titled Capital Improvements Plan (CIP).
However, there is no cost estimate given by PBR in their reply.
Also, they would rely upon the City Engineer to provide the
programmatic and cost element of the CIP.
The PBR staff assigned to the project are general the same as those
assigned to the General Plan Update contract. The firm of Austin-
Faust Associates has been included as a subcontractor.
The total cost associated with PBR's proposal to accomplish the
Sphere of Influence Study is $38,903. This does not include any
changes, additions or modifications necessary to the General Plan
Update process and contract. The time proposed by PBR is found on
page 18 of the attached proposal packet. From start to submittal
to LAFCO is four months. It is unclear to staff at this time, how
this will be accomplished inasmuch as the General Plan Update will
still be in process. Also, the proposal does not state how the
Sphere of Influence Study will affect the General Plan Update
process.
At present staff is attempting to set a meeting between PBR and
Councilmembers (Lawrason and Harper) who previously met with PBR
concerning their General Plan Update contract.
We anticipate that a meeting will be held prior to the May 16
meeting with any additional report and recommendations to be
presented to the Council by the Committee at that meeting.
Recommendation
Direct staff a deemed appropriate.
