Council awards recreation master plan contract; grant covers most costs
Summary
The council awarded the recreation master-plan consultant contract after staff reviewed two proposals; the city has a $155,000 grant that requires a $8,965 local cash match and in-kind staff support; staff noted the plan will align with the comprehensive plan timeline.
Council approved awarding the Recreation master plan consulting contract following a competitive bidding process and staff recommendation.
Director Anthony outlined the procurement: bid packets were advertised, two proposals were received, and staff (Anthony and finance staff) recommended the lower-cost vendor (Airs/DHM design alternative vs. the recommended firm). Council discussed aligning the recreation master plan with the city's comprehensive plan so the two efforts run in parallel; staff noted the comprehensive plan is expected to be completed by mid-next year and that shared-vendor outreach would expedite coordination.
Anthony said the city received a $155,000 grant to cover much of the master-plan cost; the grant requires a city cash match of $8,965 and in-kind staff time. The council moved to approve the bid award and authorized the mayor to sign the contract; the motion passed unanimously.
