AGENDA REPORT
BY:
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Mary Lindley, Parks, Recreation & Community Service �\
Director
DATE: February 3, 2006 (Meeting of February 15, 2006)
SUBJECT: Consider Award of Contract to Community Works Design
Group for the Poindexter Park Expansion Conceptual Design
DISCUSSION
In 2004, the City purchased the property at 412 Poindexter Avenue with the
objective of expanding Poindexter Park. The property is directly adjacent to the
northern property line of the existing park and it is comprised of 2.02 acres.
In May, 2004, the City performed a tree survey of all of the trees on the property.
Of the 60 trees, 20 of them were recommended for removal because they were
dead or diseased and were of no value. Staff is in the process of having the trees
removed, in preparation for the conceptual design work.
The Parks and Recreation Commission identified a number of park amenities it
wanted considered a part of the conceptual design process. Those amenities
include: skatepark, baseball field (request from Little League), picnic areas,
additional parking, basketball court, more horse shoe pits, and an area for teens
to congregate. Given the limited size of the vacant parcel, the Commission
recognizes that it will not accommodate everything they identified. As they move
through the design process with the landscape architect and the public, they will
narrow down the desirable amenities.
Staff solicited cost proposals for conceptual design services from qualified
landscape architects. A total of four proposals were received by the due date of
January 26, 2006. The results are as follows:
MIG /Purkis Rose $24,765
Community Works Design Group $25,850
RJM Design $26,140

The first three listed firms were very close in price and all three are well qualified.
The fourth firm is well qualified, but their price far exceeds the others. Staff
proposes awarding a contract to Community Works Design Group. This firm is
the landscape architect that designed Poindexter Park as it exists today. Their
familiarity with the park, its design, and construction specifications should make
the process a little easier.
