REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From:Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by:Shannon Buckley, Assistant City Manager
Date:October 14, 2025
Subject:Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with STK Architecture, Inc. for Additional Design Services on the City Hall Project (CIP Project No. Z20006)
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with STK Architecture, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00 for additional design services related to the New City Hall Project in such final form as approved by the City Attorney.
Background
On March 8, 2022, the city entered into a design agreement with STK Architecture, Inc. to develop and provide a conceptual design of the new City corporate facility and complete construction documents. At every opportunity, the architectural conceptual design capitalizes on existing City- owned properties fronting Main Street and building elevations with emerging views of the lake.
With a focused attainment of economic improvement on Main Street, opportunities rarely evolve for Cities to capitalize on such an endeavor. Below is a list of only a few features that will quickly gain and sustain public tributes.
4 Story Facility Approximately 40,000 Square Feet Sufficient Administrative Space Brick Exterior Finishes Connection with Undergrounding Utilities Floor to Ceiling Glazing Council Chambers Security Elements Expansive Lobby/Counter ADA Accessibility Throughout Interiors that Open to Large Outdoor Areas Large Multipurpose Spaces Amendment No.1 - STK Architecture
All these amenities and more will provide, most importantly, the space needed to effectively administer City operations. The opportunities are great, as every effort is focused on maximizing the positive impact on Main Street businesses, creating a civic and entertainment destination that expands local economic outcomes.
Discussion
This amendment includes supplementary engineering design documents detailing both the exterior and interior metal stud wall systems, as well as the window system. It also provides structural calculations to account for building drift. These components are essential to the overall integrity of the facility, ensuring that the wall and window systems function cohesively with the main building structure during severe weather events and seismic activity. Each system has been individually designed and constructed to effectively address and accommodate potential building movement.
The amendment also includes the electrical engineering necessary to support backup generator power. Essential areas and vital city operations have been equipped to receive emergency power in case of a Southern California Edison outage. This system features a 300-kilowatt generator that will automatically provide replacement electricity when needed.
Fiscal Impact
Funding costs are included in the Fiscal Year 25/26 – 29/30 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget, CIP Project No. Z20006.
