Design Agreement
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion:
Ratify the City Manager's approval of an Architectural Design Contract with
Prest Vuksic for the design of the Parks Staff Work Area, in the amount not to
exceed $20,280.00.
Discussion:
The Parks Staff has identified the deteriorating conditions of their work and lunch area.
In an effort to provide our Parks Staff with a clean and healthy work environment, I have
asked Prest Vuksic Architects to provide a proposal for the remodel of the Parks Staff
work area.
The project would involve the remodel of the existing work / lunch area that Parks Staff
use on a daily basis. The current work / lunch area houses tools, repair parts, paper
goods, and pesticides along with a small break area. The work break area is also
infested with rodents, and is an unhealthy work environment. Staff proposes to sanitize
and seal the area to control the infestation of rodents. Staff also proposes to design
work areas for Parks Staff that allows them to complete their daily paperwork and allow
for work related computer access.
Prest Vuksic Architects has provided a proposal for the above -mentioned project. Prest
Vuksic Architects has worked with the City on several projects and is part of the City's
pre -qualified consultant list.
