FROM: Robert 0. Malm, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Golf Course Architect Contract - Keith Foster
Golf Course Design
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the
Mayor and members of the City Council to consider entering into a
contract for Phase I golf course architectural services with
Keith Foster Golf Course Design.
BACKGROUND
As part of the overall development of the Sports Complex facility
few and in light of the intergovernmental agreement with Elgin
Community College, the Park and Reclamation Task Force began the
process of designing an 18-hole golf course.. To that end, in
March, 1996 Request for Qualifications for golf course architects
were distributed to 174 members of the American Society of Golf
Course Architects.
Twenty-two responses were returned showing an interest in the
project. Those responses were reviewed by a five member staff
evaluation team and the recommended six firms were interviewed by
the Park and Reclamation Task Force.
At their meeting on May 15, 1997 the Park and Reclamation Task
Force recommended entering into a contract with Keith Foster Golf
Course Design for Phase I (Concept Plan Phase) services. Phase I
will identify several golf course design options given unanswered
questions specific to the site (lake/mining, overburden, compost
area and sludge lagoons) . Design based recommendations will be
made regarding the mining operation, overburden placement and
lake size. Additionally, probable construction costs for the
golf course and a project timetable will be developed. Keith
Foster has also included future phases to complete the design,
bidding and construction of the golf course. However, it was
recommended that only Phase I be undertaken at this time. Upon
satisfactory completion of Phase I, future phases could be
addressed. The City would be under no obligation with Keith
Foster after Phase I is finished. It is expected that Phase I
would be completed within 60 days.
Keith Foster's fee for Phase I is $25,000 including expenses.
