ITEM TITLE:
Consideration of Golf Course Architectural
Services for SilverRock Ranch
RECOMMENDATION:
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
Authorize staff to negotiate a contract for professional services with the selected
golf course architectural firm.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Cost proposals submitted by proposing firms range from $375,000 to $1,000,000.
The FY 2002-03 Capital Improvement Program includes a project entitled "Municipal
Golf Course - Phase V' including $2.5 million for contractual services related to
administration and engineering.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The Agency authorized distribution of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Golf Course
Architectural Services for SilverRock Ranch on March 18, 2003 (Attachment 1).
Forty-one firms were on the distribution list. Staff also published notices in the media,
including the Desert Sun and several golf publications, and made the RFP available to
interested parties via mail, e-mail, facsimile, and the City's website. Staff also
conducted a pre -proposal meeting on April 4, 2003 to present pertinent information
and answer questions from interested architects. Twenty-three people attended the
meeting. The "frequently -asked" questions were then posted to the project website to
assist firms in responding to the RFP. Proposals were due on April 17, 2003.
Thirty-eight firms submitted proposals for Agency consideration (Attachment 2). The
Agency's Consultant Selection Committee reviewed the thirty-eight proposals pursuant
to criteria established consistent with services sought within the RFP. Specifically,
proposals were evaluated with respect to content, presentation, vision/design, and
experience/expertise. The Committee met on April 23, 2003 to rank proposals. The
Committee selected sixteen firms to interview, including:
005
Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest & Associates
Clive Clark Design
Gary Panks Associates
Gary Player Group
Gene Bates Golf Design
Hurdzan/Fry & Forrest Richardson
Jacobsen Hardy
Jeffrey D. Brauer Golfscapes
John Fought Design
Nicklaus Design
Palmer Course Design Co.
Phil Mickelson Design
Robert Muir Graves, Ltd.
Robert Trent Jones
Schmidt Curley
Tom Lehman/Design Workshop
Interviews were scheduled for May 1 and 2, 2003. Two firms withdrew from the
process: Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest & Associates and Gene Bates Golf Design. The
Committee interviewed the remaining fourteen firms asking a series of standard and
other questions (Attachment 3). Based upon the interviews, the Committee selected
four firms for interview by the full Redevelopment Agency Board today, including:
Palmer Course Design Company 10:00 a.m.
John Fought Design 11:00 a.m.
Jacobsen Hardy 1:00 P.M.
Gary Panks Associates 2:00 p.m.
The firms have been invited to make a short presentation to the Board, limited to 15
minutes, followed by a question and answer period. The original proposals are
included for Agency Board review (Attachment 4). In addition, the cost proposals
submitted by each firm are included for review and comparison (Attachment 5);
however, it must be noted that the final contract cost will be negotiated by Agency
staff and is subject to change.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
Pursuant to the City's Consultant Selection Procedures, and consistent with the Mini
Brooks Act, the Agency is asked to select the most qualified firm to design the first
golf course on SilverRock Ranch. Staff will then negotiate a contract with the
selected firm. If those negotiations are successful, staff will forward a formal contract
2
to the Agency for consideration and approval. To that end, the alternatives available
to the Redevelopment Agency Board include:
1. Interview the four firms and authorize staff to initiate contract negotiations with
the preferred firm for golf course architectural services for SilverRock Ranch; or
2. Interview the four firms and continue the matter to a future Redevelopment
Agency Board meeting to allow additional background/reference checks and/or
site visits; or
3. Provide staff with alternative direction.

Golf Course Architect
Request for Proposals
Issued March 19, 2003
Request For Proposals
The La Quinta Redevelopment Agency is requesting proposals from golf
course architects to establish the game strategy and theme for the
Agency's first public golf course, and to prepare conceptual design and
construction drawings, and construction specifications. In July 2002 the
Agency purchased 525 acres that was once the Ahmanson family ranch.
Known as The Ranch, the Agency's goal is to develop a premier golf -
oriented resort community that encompasses two 18-hole golf courses,
resort, passive recreation and resort oriented commercial uses. The
property adjoins the Coral Reef Mountains and the private golf communities
of PGA West, The Tradition, The Citrus, and The Hideaway.
GMA International is currently preparing a master development plan and
program for this property. These activities will be completed by May 2003.
The master plan will include a preliminary routing plan for both golf
courses: In order to undertake the precise planning activities required to
design and build the first golf course, driving range and related practice
facilities, a golf course architect is needed who will work with The Ranch
Development Team to design and build the facilities. The architect will be
responsible for generating course design and game strategy alternatives,
preparing construction plans and specifications, assisting the Development
Team in soliciting and evaluating related professional service and
construction bids, and conducting site visits during and after course
construction to ensure that the selected design and gaming strategy is
translated into the golf course.
Through the master planning effort the Agency is refining the development
goals for this property. To date, the following goals have been established
for the first golf course:
• The course must be of tournament quality to attract and
accommodate a major golf tour event.
• The course must be challenging for the skilled golfer but playable for
the recreation golfer.
• The course must embrace a timeless quality that reflects the unique
character of La Quinta's environment, complement the adjacent Coral p09
5
Reef Mountains and offer users a unique experience not typically
encountered at public golf courses.
• The course must balance the need to "fit" the desert environment,
climate and water usage challenges with the need to have prudent
on -going operations costs.
• The course must accommodate players who desire to walk and
players who desire to use golf carts.
• The course must be designed and implemented with great sensitivity
and advocacy for environmental quality, and include environmentally
oriented design and construction methods.
As part of your proposal, the Agency requests that each golf course
architectural firm portray the vision, signature design traits, and the unique
principles envisioned for the first course.

Desired Services
The selected architect will work with the Development Team to establish
the course theme and gaming strategy, identify additional professional
services that will be required to prepare construction drawings and bid
specifications, review construction bid packages, oversee construction
activities, and inspect the site post construction to identify any deficiencies.
Specific services should, at a minimum, include the following:
• Review and refine the routing project prepared by GMA International.
This effort should include identifying the advantages and
disadvantages, and offering recommendations regarding potential
modifications. As part of this effort, the architect shall define and
develop a gaming strategy and theme that embraces the Agency's
goals for this golf course. Then, the architect shall prepare a final
routing plan that identifies, at a minimum, the location of tees and
greens, fairway boundaries, centerlines, water features, and other
such information as necessary or desirable.
• Prepare construction cost estimates that represent the architect's
best judgment of the probable construction costs for the final project
design.
• Prepare a conceptual irrigation system layout including a preliminary
calculation of the irrigation water demand based upon the final project
design.
• Assist the Development Team with identifying other professional
design and engineering services required to prepare the construction
drawings and specifications. The architect will, if requested, assist
the Development Team with drafting requests for proposals regarding
these services, and participating with the selection of these
professional services.
• Prepare construction documents consisting of the working drawings
and specifications required to solicit bids from the appropriate
contractors. Included with the construction documents will be plans
and details for all features of the golf course and driving range
oil
7
including the tee boxes, fairways, roughs, greens, mounds, swales,
bunkers, water features, and any other elements as necessary to
construct the golf course and driving range.
• Advise the Agency of any adjustments to previous statements of
probable construction costs indicated by changes in requirements or
general market conditions.
• The architect shall provide assistance during the construction bidding
processes by assisting the Development Team with preparing bid
packages, attending pre -bid meetings to be held on -site, providing
assistance to contractor requests for information pertaining to the
architect's plans and specifications, and reviewing construction bid
packages.
• Provide assistance during the construction process to include:
reviewing submittals, materials, shop drawings, and system drawings
for conformance to the standards prescribed in the construction
documents, preparing additional drawings, as necessary, to clarify
architect generated plans and specifications, assist with reviewing
construction proposals and bid packages, evaluating change orders,
as necessary, and scheduling periodic site visits to ensure that the
construction activities are in accordance with the approved plans and
specifications.
• Inspect the project and provide advice on any deficiencies in
construction, following the construction completion and within one
month prior to the expiration of the contractor's warranty period.
• During the design, bidding, construction and completion process
attend the minimum number of meetings:
Design activities — two meetings a month for a 6 month period
Design presentations — four meetings
Construction bid package preparation — two meetings a month
Ground breaking — one event
Construction activities — one meeting a month
Post construction — two site visits
012
Grand opening — one event attended by the principal golf architect
and support staff.

Ranch Vision
The Ranch's canvas spans 525 acres adjacent to the base of the Coral
Reef Mountains in the City of La Quinta. The Agency's goal is to develop
premiere hospitality and golf venues that become must -see destinations in
the Coachella Valley. The final development will be crafted as if it had
evolved over time by melding the rich hues of the desert and strong
architectural elements inspired by the site with rusticated materials.
Environmental approvals have been secured to develop the following uses
on The Ranch: a 250-room hotel with a 10,000 square foot conference
center; 300 condo hotel or fractional units with up to 500 keys; two 18-hole
public golf courses with a driving range and a 25,000 square foot
clubhouse; one 9-hole public golf course; and 25,000 square feet of
ancillary tourist commercial uses. Additional approved uses entail passive
park space, trails, and view corridors.
The Agency has been conducting a master planning process since
November 2002 that will generate a preferred site development program
and plan that will guide the precise planning processes. GMA International
has been managing this activity and preparing the master plan and
associated documents. Their work will be available to the selected
organization. The current version of the master plan may be viewed on-line
at www.la-guintagolf.com. The Agency has secured funding to facilitate the
development of one golf course and associated improvements. As such,
the plan is to move expeditiously to conduct the precise planning process
and bid the construction activities by December 2003.

Many of you m.ay know that 1 have been a. visitor to La Quinta in.ce
before the town wa,s incorporated in ]. J80. For over forty year , my
love of the game of golf has allowed me to participate in activities in the
Desert. I love the natural environment, the people and their n�ighborly
attitude and the way they embrace al). that is good, about the g�,M,e of
golf. Over the yeers, I have developed some very close a,n.d ).onk-
stan.ding friendships with people in your community. One of the
hi,gh)ights of; our Company's design. experience was the opportt ni,ty to
work with your neighbor, David Chapman, in creating the Tra.Jition
Golf Club_ The Tradition was dceigOed, to be the finest expresth
n
possibJc of a private golf communi.ly. 1 have been so pleased the
development, that many of you. may know l have chosen to make it m,y
permanent residence in, the Desert. I am your neighbor, also_
We believe that our firm is uniquely qualified to create a. cham�i.on.ship
golf experience for the citizens of La Quinta.. We have an intimate
knowledge of the property. Tlus past February, Ed Seay and I
personally walked the site with, the City staff and GMA so tb.a.t II e could
conIT011t,e to the master planning efforts from the perspective bf a.
tournament golf experience. We have followed the progression. of the
master plan and, bcli.eve we have the foundation, for a spect:a.cu ar
experience where the first course is con,cern,ed and wou)d like I.o be a
part of your succese. Our Company can provide a. turnkey soli ttion to
