RESTAURANT
SUBMITTED BY: MISSY WIGHTMAN, PROJECT COORDINATOR
CONTRACTOR: RANDY PURNEL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS

RANCHO MIRAGE, CA 92270
DATE: AUGUST 24, 2006
CONTENTS: AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion, that the Agency Board ratify an agreement in an amount not -to -
exceed $7,150 (including reimbursables) with Randy Purnel Landscape Architects
for landscape architecture design services of the site surrounding the future La
Spiga restaurant at Entrada del Paseo. Funds for this work are available in Account
No. 850-4358-433-4001.
Executive Summarv:
By approval of the staff recommendation, the Agency Board will ratify an agreement approved
and executed by the Agency's Executive Director using a consultant approved by the Agency
Board on January 12, 2006. The consultant will provide professional design services necessary
to develop the landscaping surrounding the La Spiga pad and parking at Entrada del Paseo.
Discussion:
The Redevelopment Agency has served as the master developer on the 12-acre site known as
Entrada del Paseo. To date, approximately half of the site has been developed. Construction is
beginning for the Henderson Community Building, and the design for several acres of
landscaping surrounding this site is nearing completion, which will leave less than three acres
undeveloped. The Agency Board approved a Disposition and Development Agreement for a fine
dining restaurant in the back corner of the property, near the intersection of Painter's Path and
the Palm Valley Storm Channel.
In order to prepare the site for a restaurant, certain improvements need to be coordinated
between separate consultants. Landscape design needs to begin for consultants already under
contract to complete their work. Randy Purnel Landscape Architects was selected from the
2006 Consultants Master List approved for professional services work on January 12, 2006.
Staff has negotiated an agreement for necessary services, which has been executed by the
