PLEASE SEE CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NUMBER 1 ON CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ft 0 fl T4ht 4 aCPQu&rw COUNCIL/RDA MEETING DATE: July 1, 2003 ITEM TITLE: Consideration of Master Schedule, RFP for Civil Engineering Services and Plant Inventory Services for SilverRock Ranch RECOMMENDATION: AGENDA CATEGORY: BUSINESS SESSION: CONSENT CALENDAR: STUDY SESSION: PUBLIC HEARING: Approve the proposed SilverRock Ranch Implementation Master Schedule; and Authorize the distribution of an RFP for civil engineering services (Phases 1 A and 1 B); and Authorize staff to solicit and retain the services of a Plant Inventory Consultant. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None for this action. The City's Capital Improvement Program includes a project entitled Municipal Golf Course - Phase I, including $2.5 million for contractual services related to planning, engineering and property management services. Approximately $2.2 million remains in this account. Current construction estimates for Phase I, including supporting infrastructure, total $21.5 million. The estimated fee for civil engineering services is estimated at $400,000, to be negotiated with the selected consultant. The estimated fee to conduct the plant inventory is less than $25,000, to be negotiated with the consultant. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: The Redevelopment Agency acquired 525 acres of property, commonly referred to as "The Ranch," in June of 2002. The Agency adopted a conceptual land use plan and renamed the project "SilverRock Ranch" in May 2003. The Agency selected Palmer Golf'Course Design to provide golf course architectural services and Roy Stephenson, P.E. of Berryman & Henigar to serve as Development Coordinator for Phase I of the project. J The Development Coordinator's responsibilities include assisting the project development team in identifying and preparing Request for Proposals (RFP) for specialists needed to design the golf course, support infrastructure, landscape improvements, a temporary clubhouse, restrooms, and other ancillary structures. In addition, the Development Coordinator will prepare RFP's or Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) for construction managers, golf course contractors, golf course operators and pre -opening marketing services. Master Schedule An important element of the Development Coordinator's responsibilities includes the preparation and continual update of a Master Schedule for implementation. This schedule is included as Attachment 1. The critical component that impacts other specialist/contractors is the golf course architect's schedule. The Palmer Course Design Company's preliminary schedule sets forth completion of plans and specifications for bidding in February 2004. Allowing for six weeks to bid the project, award of the golf course construction contract could be made in April 2004. This master schedule requires that the other specialists, design consultants, construction managers, operators, and pre -qualification of golf course contractors be identified and retained in a timely manner. Civil Engineering Request for Proposal A Request for Proposals has been prepared for Civil Engineering services (Attachment 2). These services include: conducting a geotechnical investigation of the site; preparation of a mass grading plan; improvement plans and specifications for street, water, sewer, bridges, water wells; and dry utility coordination. Boundary, design and construction survey services are also included. Staff is seeking Agency authorization to solicit proposals for civil engineering services for Phases IA and IB of the project. Staff proposes that the Selection Committee members include: Mark Weiss, Assistant Executive Director Tim Jonasson, Public Works Director Jerry Herman, Community Development Director Roy Stephenson, Development Coordinator Frank Spevacek, Redevelopment/Economic Development Consultant Pursuant to the City's consultant selection procedures, the Agency Board may appoint one or two members to participate in or observe the selection process. Plant Inventory Consulting Services The design team needs an inventory of all plant material (primarily trees) in order to identify those plants that can be incorporated into the project. Since the estimated T 2 '' cost for these services is less than $25,000, staff is recommending the consultant be retained under the "minor contract" provision of the City's consultant selection procedures. Staff is seeking Agency authorization to solicit and retain the services of a Plant Inventory Consultant. Agency Board Action Schedule The attached master schedule delineates dates of anticipated Agency Board actions in retaining/qualifying the needed support designers, construction managers, golf course contractors and other specialists. The tentative schedule to retain these specialists is set forth below: Consultant/Contractor Agency RFP/RFQ Approval Agency Selection Civil Engineer July 1, 2003 September 16, 2003 Plant Inventory Consultant July 1, 2003 N/A Marketing Consultant August 5, 2003 September 16, 2003 Building Architect August 5, 2003 October 7, 2003 Landscape Architect September 16, 2003 November 4, 2003 Construction Manager September 16, 3003 December 2, 2003 Golf Course Operator October 7, 2003 December 2, 2003 Pre -Qualification of Golf Course Contractors October 7, 2003 December 2, 2003 FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives available to the Agency Board include: 1. Approve the proposed SilverRock Ranch implementation master schedule; authorize the distribution of an RFP for civil engineering services (Phases 1 A and 1 B); and authorize staff to solicit and retain the services of a Plant Inventory Consultant; or 2. Do not approve the proposed SilverRock Ranch implementation master schedule; do not authorize the distribution of an RFP for civil engineering services (Phases 1 A and 1 B); and do not authorize staff to solicit and retain the services of a Plant Inventory Consultant; or 3 3.

In July 2002, the Agency purchased 525 acres that was once the Ahmanson family ranch. Now known as SilverRock Ranch, the RDA'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 is adjacent to the Coral Reef Mountains and the private golf communities of PGA West, The Tradition, The Citrus, and The Hideaway. GMA International has completed the conceptual master plan and development program for this property, which was approved by the Redevelopment Agency Board on May 6, 2003. The master plan includes a preliminary routing plan for both golf courses, entry roads, and identifies future hotel and commercial sites. The master plan also includes a phasing plan (Exhibit A). Phases IA and IB have now been conceptually approved by the RDA for implementation. The RDA has selected Arnold Palmer Golf Design as the Golf Course Architect for Phase IA. The RDA has also extended the contract with GMA International to provide support services during the design effort. Berryman & Henigar, Inc. has been retained to provide development coordination services. MDS Consulting is currently under contract to prepare an offsite hydrology report, process a Streambed Alteration Permit (1603), and to prepare and process applications and exhibits for the ultimate abandonment of existing on -site Bureau of Reclamation Easements. MDS is also designing the street improvement plans for Avenue 52 and water improvement plans for the extension of an 18" line from the project's westerly boundary (Tradition to the proposed project entry at GASilverRock Ranch\Civil EngineeARFP 6-24-03.DOC 12 Cetrino (Citrus). A stub will be provided southerly for future on -site extension. The Civil Engineer is required to work closely with Palmer Design, GMA International and the SilverRock Ranch Development Team. The Civil Engineer, in addition to preparing construction drawing and bid specifications and cost estimates, will provide construction survey services and assistance in responding to requests for information (RFI's) and change orders. An aerial topographic survey is available at the City of La Quinta. It is in a digital format at a scale of 1 "=40' with 1' contours.

GASilverRock Ranch\Civil Engineer\RFP 6-24-03.DOC 16 Ranch Vision The SilverRock Ranch's canvas spans 525 acres adjacent to the base of the Coral Reef Mountains in the City of La Quinta. The RDA'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 SilverRock 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 RDA approved a Master Plan for the project in May 2003. The Master Plan sets forth a preferred site development program and plan that will guide the precise planning processes. GMA International has been managing this activity and prepared the master plan and associated documents. Their work will be available to the selected organization. The RDA 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 mass grading of Phases 1 A and 1 B by December 2003.
