SUBJECT: <br />DATE: <br />CONSULTANT FOR THE POSSIBLE EXPANSION OF THE LRC /AQUATICS <br />OCTOBER 20, 2015 PAGE 2 OF 2 <br />Council Meeting, City Council gave staff direction to issue a Request for Proposals <br />(RFP) for possible expansion of the Recreation /Senior Center and options for improved <br />aquatic facilities. Staff issued a request for RFP's and received seven well - qualified <br />proposals. Councilmember /Chair Lipton and Parks and Recreation staff including Joe <br />Stevens, Kathy Martin, Allan Gill, Julie Seydel and Diane Evans reviewed and scored <br />the proposals and are recommending awarding a contract to Sink Combs Dethlefs. The <br />following firms submitted proposals: <br />• Sink Combs Dethlefs <br />• Barker Rinker Seacat <br />• Davis Partnership Architects <br />• Upper 90 Architecture <br />• Brinkley Sargent Wiginton Architects <br />• Ohlson Lavoie Collaborative <br />• Christopher Carvell Architects <br />All the responses were in the $80,000- $110,000 range. Of the 7 proposals, two were <br />short listed and the top candidate was interviewed. Sink Combs Dethlefs (SCD) <br />emerged as the unanimous recommendation of the review committee based, in part, on <br />Recreation /Senior Center and Aquatic Center experience in Colorado and specifically <br />Louisville. SCD has assembled a strong team with an understanding of our community <br />because Sink Combs Dethlefs has a history with the Recreation /Senior Center <br />(conducted an expansion study in 2002); GreenPlay, SCD's Feasibility Consultant, is <br />the firm responsible for the 2012 PROST, MIG (formerly Winston Associates) was <br />responsible for South Street Underpass design, and Water Technology, Inc. is <br />considered an industry leader in swimming pool and aquatic center design. In short, <br />SCD can hit the ground running as they have the expertise as well as past experience <br />in Louisville to work well with the community and Task Force members to complete the <br />feasibility study. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />Sink Combs Dethlefs submitted a cost proposal of $82,828. A future budget amendment <br />will include $25,000 in 2015 for this purpose and $60,000 has been requested in the <br />2016 proposed budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Award contract to Sink Combs Dethlefs in an amount not to exceed $85,000. <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />1.
