On June 3, 1998, a recommendation was made by the City Manager to the Mayor and City

substantial discussion, the Mayor and City Commission recommended that the Administration
negotiate with the top ranked firm of Robert A. M. Stem Architects (Stem).
On September 23, 1998, the Administration presented a resolution to the Mayor and City
Commission requesting authorization to execute an agreement with Stem for a Regional Library,
a 400-space Parking Garage and Park and Streetscape Improvements in the area surrounding Collins
Park. The total negotiated fee was $1,570,000 which included basic design services for the Library
and a 400-space Parking Garage, park schematics, landscaping, and schematic design for the
Rotunda Building in Collins Park. The Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 98-

On November 18, 1998, the City Commission directed the Administration not to proceed with the
design of a 400-space Parking Garage and to instead design two surface lots in parcels 2 and 4.
ANALYSIS:
The City's Administration is presenting a companion resolution on the January 6th Commission
Agenda, requesting the appropriation of funds from the General Fund Reserve for the above
described agreement with Stern for A&E (Architectural and Engineering) design services, as
modified by the change in scope of the project. The 400-space Parking Garage has been deleted
from the scope and the two surface lots have been added in its place, The agreement with Stern in
the original amount of $1,570,000 has been modified to reflect the changes in scope and the new
contract amount of$I,370,000,
The proposed A&E budget is as follows:
Regional Library
Surface Lots
Site/Landscape Design
Master Plan Schematics for Rotunda
Interior Design
Public Reviews and Meetings
Reimbursables
Project Funding:
$915,000
$ 10,000
$ 55,000
$ 65,000
$ 60,000
$ 60,000
$ 205,000
$1,370,000
The proposed funding for the A&E services contract with Stern is comprised of $1,281,500 in
available General Fund Reserve for Capital Improvements - (Library funds of $11.5 Million);
$10,000 from the $21 million Parking Revenue Bond issue; and $78,500 from the City Center RDA
Construction Fund. The total amount of$1,370,000 will be appropriated and a work order will be
established to pay the A&E design fees for the Cultural Campus/Regional Library,

necessary share of funding in the amount of $78,500 from the City Center RDA construction fund
