Discussion:
The Redevelopment Agency has served as the master developer on the twelve -acre site known
as Entrada del Paseo. To date approximately half of the site has been developed, and design is
nearly complete for the Henderson Community Building and several acres of landscaping, which
will leave less than three acres undeveloped. The Agency Board has entered into exclusive
negotiations with a party who proposes to develop and operate a fine dining restaurant in the

"back" corner of the property, near the intersection of Painters' Path and the Palm Valley Storm
Channel. A development agreement for the restaurant will be brought forward for public hearing
and Agency Board consideration within six weeks.
In order to prepare the site for development of a restaurant (or any other occupied structure) in
the undeveloped portion of Entrada del Paseo, certain civil improvements will be required.
These improvements include grading, drainage, water, sewer, paving, and parking. Agency
staff proposes to design these improvements now, so that they can be coordinated with the
work planned for the Henderson Community Building. In the event that the current negotiations
do not produce a restaurant for this location, the civil improvements specific to this restaurant
need not be constructed.
Several engineering firms were considered for the proposed design and survey work. One firm
declined to submit a proposal due to their current heavy workload, and another firm was not
selected because their out-of-town office would have made it more difficult to be responsive to
the needs of this small, but highly collaborative, assignment. Stantec Consulting has performed
well on other work for the Agency under their previous name, The Keith Companies, and has
competitive hourly rates for services provided. The labor hours assigned to each task to be
performed are reasonable for the work involved. Staff recommends approval of this agreement
so that development of Entrada del Paseo can proceed.
