REGULAR AGENDA
Agenda Item No. 7. Consider.
A. Recommendation to enter into a professional services agreement with
RPGA Design Group, Inc for the design and construction of a centrally
located DPS facility.
A draft of the architectural contract reviewed by the City Attorney was presented
to the Board. The issue of adding a project manager for the central facility project
was revisited and discussed. Questions were asked about section 2.65 of the
contract. Concerns were expressed about the language in reference to the amount
of time the architect should spend at the project site. The wording of section 2.65
was discussed in detail and alternate wording suggestions were made. The duties
of the architect were discussed. Staff and Mr. Schelling advised that once a week
is sufficient time for the architect to be at the project site. A question was asked if
there would be a fee associated for any extra time the architect spent on site. The
response was that no extra fee would be charged. A question was asked if the
City was planning to have a project manager in addition to the architect. The
response to the question was that the City will not be budgeting for a project
manager however there is an option to budget for a project manager in the CCPD
budget for this particular project. Section 2.66, reference multiple contractors,
was discussed in detail. It was suggested that section 3.4.9, reference additional
services, be deleted. The Board was advised that they could recommend changes
to the contract but the final negotiation of the contract would be by City Council.
A question was asked why section 7.2, reference arbitration, had been deleted.
Procedures for conflict resolution were discussed.
A motion was made recommending, subject to the comments and corrections
noted by the Board, that the architectural contract be presented to the City Council
for their approval and to have them enter into a contract for architectural services
consistent with the proposed contract.

Budget to include evaluation, repairs and/or upgrades to foundation and
building of the DPS West facility.
A Power Point presentation was given by Chief Finn explaining the cause
of the foundation damage and the repairs performed prior to 2005. The
masonry work is the reported cause of the building (structure) damage. It
was reported that the overall building appears to be sound.
Two options for repairs were outlined:
1) Option 1
Repair Estimates: Foundation $40,000
Repair cracks $10,000
Paint $22,000
Carpet $16,000
$88,500
If this option is chosen then Staff would recommend a budget amendment
not to exceed $100,000 to allow for unexpected cost.
2) Option 2
Hire a Structural Engineer: Structural Engineer $ 7,000
Repair Foundation $40,000
Repair Cracks $10,000
Paint $22,000
Replace Carpet $16,500
$95,500
If this option is chosen the Staff would recommend a budget amendment
not to exceed $110,000 to allow for unexpected costs.
It is recommended that the existing floor covering be upgraded; if engineer does
not recommend foundation repairs staff request to upgrade the current carpet to
meet the facility needs at a cost not to exceed $16,500.
Staff recommends Option 2; the hiring of a structural engineer.
A motion was made to recommend adoption of option 2; to amend the FY2005-06
Crime Control and Prevention District budget to $110,000 for evaluation, repairs
3
and/or upgrades to foundation and building of the West facility and to amend the
CCPD budget for $553,000., to include funds for architectural services for a new
