CC-1860
September 1, 2026
Project Overview
• The Edison Park Reconfiguration Conceptual Plan was
approved at the March 3, 2026, City Council Meeting.
• Staff conducted a Task Order Request for Proposals (TORFP) utilizing the City Council Approved 2025 Professional Services Contracts for On-Call Multi-Discipline Architectural
Engineering, Landscape Architectural Engineering, and
Professional Consulting Services.
• Staff concluded this process and recommends RRM Design Group to complete final design services and construction documents.
Analysis
• The Task Order Request for Proposals (TORFP) process concluded May 2026, with a list of seven (7) firms submitting proposals and pricing.
• Project Management staff organized these proposals and conducted an in-house three (3) member panel evaluation. Staff read through each proposal and cost sheet, and gave the firms scores on a scale of 1 – 5, on five (5) criteria:
o Compliance with the RFP Requirements
o Technical Approach and Understanding of Project Methodology o Qualifications and Experience of Firm, Key Individuals, and Sub-Consultants
o Recent Experience of Firm Conducting Similar Scope
o Cost and Price
• Score averages were tallied and firms were ranked. These rankings were weighed at 40% of the total score for each firm. The top three (3) ranked firms were contacted to participate in a panel interview.
Analysis
• Project Management staff organized an interview panel containing three (3) outside experts from local cities, and one (1) in-house staff in the Public Works Engineering Construction Division. The panel was given each firm’s proposal, cost sheet, and the TORFP for reference; however, the firms were instructed to plan a presentation and to be prepared for questions. Firms had fifteen (15) minutes to give a presentation and forty-five (45) minutes to answer questions.
The interview panel scored the firms on four (4) criteria with two (2) to three (3) questions per criteria:
o Project Understanding
o Work Approach
o Community Engagement
o Qualifications and Work Experience
• Score averages were tallied and firms were ranked. These final rankings were weighed at 60% of the total score for firms.
