Board backs hiring owner's representative to guide Smiths Fork Park project
Summary
Staff recommended hiring an owner's representative to assist with cost estimates, constructability and procurement for the planned Smiths Fork multi‑field sports complex; the board agreed staff should pursue an RFQ and interview process.
Matt (S3) presented background on Smiths Fork Park from the 2021 parks and recreation master plan and said the project — four ball fields and parking — is slated in the CIP for 2028. He recommended an owner's representative to provide independent expertise on cost estimating, scheduling, constructability and procurement.
"An owner's rep does not perform construction work, but instead provides independent expertise to assist staff in navigating project delivery options and evaluating the most appropriate path forward," Matt said. Board members asked about prior firms and whether the parks master plan consultant would serve; staff said they would issue a competitive RFQ and interview candidates, and that the owner's rep would help the city decide whether to proceed with CMAR or a turnkey design‑build approach.
