D. Rosemead Community Recreation Center Expansion – Award of Contract for Architectural Services As part of the City’s Fiscal Year 2010-11 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council approved funding to renovate and expand the Rosemead Community Recreation Center (RCRC). The existing facility was built in 1975 and is approximately 17,000 square feet in size. The RCRC serves as a major community recreation facility that houses senior programs, recreation classes, special functions, and community events. Proposed improvements include façade/beautification improvements, improved disabled access, building/safety improvements, heating/ventilation system upgrades, and a building expansion to house a computer lab, small teen center, and recreation staff offices. It is the intent that these improvements will incorporate energy conservation features to help achieve the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) at a silver equivalent rating. Request for Proposals (RFPs) were mailed out and on February 2, 2011, eight (8) proposals were received by the City Clerk’s office. Staff reviewed the proposals for completeness, understanding of scope of work, methodology, experience, and proposed cost. Interviews were subsequently conducted with the top four (4) architectural firms. Recommendation: That the following actions are taken: 1. The Community Development Commission authorize the expenditure of redevelopment bond proceeds in the amount of $208,500; and 2. The City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with Carde Ten Architects in an amount not to exceed $208,500 from existing redevelopment bond proceeds to develop schematic designs, construction documents and provide construction support services for the Rosemead Community Recreation Center Expansion and Building Improvement Project. 10. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL A. Update Concerning California LadyHawks Due to its long affiliation with the City of Rosemead, the California LadyHawks requested that the City Council, at its regular meeting of September 28, 2010, waive facility fees. City Council authorization was necessary as the LadyHawks does not possess official 501(c)(3) non-profit agency status, which is a City requirement for fee waiver. City Council authorized the fee waiver through the close of the travel softball season in February 2011, with the understanding that the LadyHawks would pursue the required non-profit status, which they are currently doing. At this time, they are asking that City Council continue the fee waiver. ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, AND HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION JOINT MEETING AGENDA February 22, 2011 Page 7 of 7 Recommendation: That the City Council provide direction regarding an extension of sports facility use fee waiver for the California LadyHawks. COMMISSION/CITY COUNCIL WILL ADJOURN TO A RECEPTION IN HONOR OF RETIRING MAYOR GARY TAYLOR. 11.
