SUBJECT: Engineering Services Agreement with Hitchcock Design Group for the Riverside
Drive Plaza
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with
information to consider the approval of an engineering se:vices agreement with Hitchcock
Design Group for the planning and preliminary design of the Riverside Drive Plaza.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the agreement with the Hitchcock Design
Group for planning and preliminary design services related to the development of the Riverside
Drive Plaza for the not to exceed cost of$183,945.
BACKGROUND
On October 25, 2006, the Hitchcock Design Group and e HOK Planning Group made
presentations to the City Council on design concepts for the conversion of the Riverside Parking
Deck into a pedestrian plaza and riverfront event venue. The presentations that night were the
culmination of a selection process that began in June with the issuance of a Request for Proposal
to which six firms responded. Based on the presentations, staff was directed to meet with the
Hitchcock Design Group to negotiate a scope of work for the design.
Attached for consideration are an agreement with the scope description and the details of the
related costs. In light of the comments from Council on the presentations from both firms, the
proposed scope starts with an "Opportunity Analysis" process that examines the design options
discussed. This effort will result in a memorandum that will summarize options and analyze
their feasibility based on the results of an in depth physical investigation of existing conditions.
The cost of that effort is $84,065 and it is scheduled to be completed by the end of March.

The balance of the effort is the Preliminary Engineering ph:se that will refine schematic design
options, work through to the selection of one favored design and outline the technical
requirements for the final design. This effort will cost $99,:80 and be completed by the end of
June, 2007. The total cost of this phase of the work is $18:,945, which is $20,000 higher than
the cost contained in the original proposal. The added cost is for: 1) river modeling needed to
examine the option of providing river access from the str cture and 2) for architectural pre-
design on the gazebo structure. Neither of these work it=ms was in the originally proposed
scope.
