Executive Summarv: Approval of this request will allow for the preparation, adoption, and implementation of a Housing Relocation Plan ("Relocation Plan") and the preparation of a Replacement Housing Plan ("Replacement Plan") for Sagecrest Apartments project located at 73-775 Santa Rosa Way. A redevelopment agency is required to develop a Relocation Plan whenever a redevelopment project leads to permanent displacement of the existing tenants that are of low and moderate incomes. A redevelopment agency is required to adopt a Replacement Plan in the event that redevelopment results in the destruction or removal of dwelling units from the low and moderate tenant housing market. Staff Report Approve Contract R- 28980 Page 2 of 3 May 21, 2009 with PMC for Relocation Plan at Sagecrest Apartments In order to begin the process of redeveloping the Sagecrest Apartment site, staff requests approval of a professional services contract with PMC in an amount not-to- exceed $29,820, plus $2,500 for reimbursables. Discussion: The Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency (Agency) acquired the 14-unit apartment complex on February 28, 2008. The property is dilapidated and has been evaluated by an architect who has indicated that the site contains issues with drainage, lighting, and deficiencies that may not be correctable to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Redevelopment Agency's intention is to redevelop the 1.26-acre apartment site to accommodate a more efficient site plan and unit type, as well as to continue to provide affordable housing to serve the needs of the community. Relocation Plan Prior to redeveloping the site, California Redevelopment Law requires the preparation, adoption, and implementation of a Relocation Plan for displaced residents. The Relocation Plan describes the relocation assistance available to current and past tenants and includes, but is not limited to; individual interviews and identification of all tenants that are eligible for relocation benefits, preparation of individual relocation packages for eligible persons, provide the tenants with on-going advisory services to minimize hardship, and provide written referrals to replacement housing and physically assist displacees in locating replacement housing. Replacement Plan As part of the Relocation Plan, the Agency must also meet the Replacement Housing requirement which includes adopting a Replacement Plan by resolution. The Replacement Plan will identify housing units that will replace the units which are removed as part of the redevelopment of the site. Consultant Selection Staff contacted four (4) firms and requested proposals for the preparation of a Relocation Plan, relocation services, and a replacement housing plan. Staff received three (3) proposals from the following three firms: FIRM PMC .................................. Associated Right-of-Way Services, Inc. (ARWS) Overland Pacific Cutler, Inc. LOCATIONS TOTAL COST NOT-TO-EXCEED $ 29,820.00 Rancho Cordova, EI Centro, San Diego, Los Angeles, and others. Pleasant Hills, CA Long Beach, Palm Desert, Riverside, San Diego, Irvine, and others. $ 34,500.00 $ 41,750.00 G\rdaWessica Gonzales\Sagecrest RelocationReplacemenhSAGECREST APT Reloc-PMC Agmt Staff Report 052109.doc Staff Report Approve Contract R- 28980 Page 3 of 3 May 21, 2009 with PMC for Relocation Plan at Sagecrest Apartments The firms were evaluated based on qualifications, services to be rendered and costs. All three firms were qualified, however, PMC is being recommended because their proposal included all the components identified in the scope of services at the lowest cost. PMC also offers assistance to the tenants with utility transfers, scheduling the physical move, as well as providing 24-hour phone availability for tenants. The total cost of th e contract will be adjusted based on the actual total number of tenants relocated. Conclusion Once the Relocation Plan and the Replacement Plan are prepared, both plans will be made available for public input and comment and then presented to the Agency Board for approval. Therefore, staff recommends that the Agency Board award a professional services contract to PMC, in an amount not-to-exceed $29,820, plus $2,500 in reimbursable costs, for the preparation, adoption, and implementation of a Relocation Plan and the preparation of a Replacement Plan for Sagecrest Apartments project.

I understand that you received our Statement of Qualifications for this project last week. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING The City of Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency has acquired a fourteen unit market rate residential complex located at 73775 Santa Rosa Way in Palm Desert. Currently, twelve of the units are occupied by renters who are subject to month-to-month rental agreements and two units are vacant. The Redevelopment Agency needs to demolish the existing structures in order for new below market rate housing to be constructed on the site. To that end, the Redevelopment Agency would like to adopt a Relocation / Replacement Housing Plan and work closely with the existing tenants to provide relocation services. PMC has prepared a proposal in accordance with the Uniform Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 as amended; federal regulations at Title 49, Part 24, Uniform Relocation assistance and Real Property Acquisition Regulations for Federal and Federally-Assisted Programs (the "Uniform Act"); California Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines, Title 25, California Code of Regulations, Chapter 6, Section 6000 et seq. (the "Guidelines"); and California Government Code Sections 7260 — 7277, pertaining to relocation. The following scope of work describes the activities required to complete relocation services for this project. Throughout the project, the key approach that PMC will undertake is early and consistent communication with the tenants, involving accurate information and proactive friendly and professional service. SCOPE OF WORK PMC will provide tenant relocation services for the City of Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency in compliance with current relocation laws and procedures. This work will result in the completion of a Relocation / Replacement Housing Plan and provision of relocation services. 2729 Prospect Park Drive, Suite 220 • Rancho Cordova, CA 95670 • P: (916) 361-8384 • F: (916) 361-1574 Martin Alvarez April 6, 2009 Page 2 The Relocation / Replacement Housing Plan establishes a comprehensive relocation assistance program, including advisory and financial benefits and assistance that will be provided to households displaced from the property.

PRODUCTS/DELIVERABLES TO THE CITY I) Draft Relocation / Replacement Housing Plan 2) Final Relocation / Replacement Housing Plan 3) Collaterals- FAQ and Construction Process — PMC will provide Agency with twenty-five (25) color copies. Agency to distribute. BUDGET The estimated cost for the project is $29,820 for the services described in the Scope, which assumes relocation services will be provided for twelve units. This does not include any financial assistance that may be offered to tenants as part of the relocation package or the cost of the physical moves, which will be provided by a moving company (not PMC). This does not include eviction services, should they be needed, nor property management services during the relocation process. We understand that it is possible some units will be vacant prior to commencement of our relocation services, and that therefore relocation services may be needed for fewer than twelve units. Should this be the case, then our budget would be reduced as follows, depending on the number of units that are occupied at the commencement of our services: • I I units - $28,592 • 10 units - $27,364 � 9 units - $26, I 36 • 8 units - $24,908 • 7 units - $23,680 Martin Alvarez April 6, 2009 Page 4 SCHEDULE PMC will work with the Client to ensure the Client's schedule is met.
