RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by the Recreation and Parks Department that the Council, by resolution, approve the Professional Services Agreement between the City of Santa Rosa and Moore Iacofano Goltsman, Incorporated, Berkeley, California, to provide landscape architectural design and engineering services documents for renovation to Rincon Valley Community Park play area in an amount not to exceed $297,020.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) with Moore Iacofano Goltsman, Incorporated (MIG), is to provide landscape architectural design and engineering services for the renovation project of Rincon Valley Community Park play area.
BACKGROUND
Rincon Valley Community Park is located at 5108 Badger Rd, in the northeast Quadrant of the City. It is adjacent to Maria Carrillo High School and the Rincon Valley Regional Library to the east, and subdivisions to the west and north. Ducker Creek runs adjacent to the project site. The land was purchased for the creation of a park in 1967, and construction of the park began in 1976. No renovation to the play areas has occurred since that time. The Park consists of a softball and soccer field, a dog park, two restroom buildings, a playground, picnic areas, paved paths, two parking lots, benches, and large grassy areas.
The City’s 2022 Parks Condition Assessment and Prioritization Report identified Rincon Valley Community Park as a priority park to bring up to good condition and in compliance with current building codes related to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The park's play equipment and one of the restrooms must be replaced to meet ADA compliance.
The Agreement with MIG outlines their responsibilities to meet with the community to identify a new design for the park play area that meets the community's needs and vision, as well as execute construction drawings, specifications, and cost estimates necessary to bid and construct the park improvements and provide construction oversight.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL REVIEW
None.
ANALYSIS
A Request for Proposals to provide landscape architectural design and engineering services to prepare construction documents for the improvements to Rincon Valley Community Park was issued in January 2025. Six (6) proposals were received and reviewed by a committee, and the references for firms with the three highest ranking proposals were contacted by the committee. As a result, the review committee ranked MIG highest. Staff negotiated the recommended Professional Services Agreement with a not to exceed amount of $297,020.
MIG is expected to complete the required services and tasks, including final construction oversight work, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City not later than June 30, 2028.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this action does not have a fiscal impact on the General Fund. Total project costs are estimated at $2,567,000. Funds for this project come from Measure M funding and are available in JL Key 09782.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, the proposed action is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not have a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In the alternative, the proposed action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the project may have a significant effect on the environment.
