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.
