UH, CONSTRUCTION COSTS IS STILL ESTIMATED TO BE AT ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS. COME IN. THIS IS JUST THE SITE MAP FOR YOUR, UH SO YOU CAN IDENTIFY WHERE EVERYTHING IS, AS YOU CAN TELL. IT'S SERVED BY DOHERTY AND, UH, BURNHAM, UH, TO YOUR RIGHT IS THE SCHEMATIC THAT'S BEEN PREPARED BY WG I FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT. UH, ONE THING THAT ISN'T SHOWN HERE YET IS THERE'S A IF YOU LOOK AT THE MIDDLE. IT'S A VERY CENTER OF THE PARKING LOT. THERE'LL BE A WALKWAY GOING FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH, THE NORTH TO THE SOUTH. SO THAT'LL BE INCLUDED IN THE IN ALL THE PLANS THAT WE PREPARE. ALTERNATIVE LANDSCAPING DESIGNS. NOW HERE'S WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP IN MAKING A DECISION ON WHICH DIRECTION WE NEED TO GO FORWARD WITH ON THIS PROJECT. UH, WE HAVE WHAT'S CALLED THE CODE COMPLIANT PLAN MEETS THE CODE REQUIREMENTS THAT THE BASIC MINIMUM UH, THERE'S A CONCEPT PLAN ONE THAT WE'RE CALLING IT.
IT'S GOT A MORE GRASS MORE TREES AND DOES NOT HAVE A RAIN GARDEN. UH, CONCEPT PLAN ONE. B HAS GRASSES AND TREES WITH THE RAIN GARDEN AND CONCEPT PLAN NUMBER TWO IS THE DESERT. UH, DESIGN.
UH THE PLANS THAT WE HAVE DO NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE, UH, ITEMS THAT WERE MENTIONED BY THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD, BUT, UH, WE'LL BE, INCLUDING WHATEVER ALTERNATE THAT YOU ASKED US TO GO FORWARD WITH, UH, LET'S SEE. AND AGAIN. I MENTIONED THAT THAT PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE OF THE PARKING LOT. THIS IS YOUR CODE COMPLIANT PLAN IT DOES HAVE TREES DOES
[00:05:06]
HAVE SOME LANDSCAPING. HERE, YOU CONCEPT PLAN ONE, THE MORE GRASS, MORE TREES AND, UH, WITHOUT THE RAIN GARDEN. BEAR IN MIND WHEN THIS IS DESIGNED IN THIS PARTICULAR FASHION, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE SLOPES ON THIS DRIVE ON THIS PARKING LOT, SO EVERYTHING DRAINS TOWARDS THE AREA INLETS THAT WE HAVE IN HERE. WHEN YOU GO TO THE RAIN GARDEN. YOU CAN'T DO THAT. YOU HAVE TO KIND OF REVERSE THE FLOW, SO YOU HAVE TO A LITTLE BIT MORE DESIGN INVOLVED IN TAKING IT BACK TO THE RAIN GARDENS. THIS IS OPTION ONE B OR CONCEPT PLANE ONE B. THIS IS TYPICAL PLANNING. UH THAT YOU WOULD HAVE ON A JUST THE GRASSES AND THE TREES. THIS THIS IS TYPICALLY WHAT THEY WOULD USE FOR THAT DESIGN. FROM THE DESERT TYPE. THIS IS KIND OF WHAT YOU'D HAVE ON THE PALETTE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLANTS AND TREES THAT YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE IN THERE. HERE'S OUR SCHEDULE. IT'S VERY COMPRESSED. BUT WE THINK WE CAN MAKE THAT, UH, WORK, SO WE'RE TRYING TO GIVE THE CONTRACTOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS OF TIME TO ACTUALLY BUILD A PARKING LOT AND INSTALL EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED THERE. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAVE TO HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. BUT UH, WE THINK WE HAVE A S A SCHEDULE THAT WE CAN TRY TO MEET. I THINK IT SKIPPED IT'S LIKE YOU JUST REALLY NOT TOUCHY. I'LL TELL YOU OK, HERE'S YOUR OPTIONS AGAIN. APPROVE THE CONTRACT WITH WG I FOR THE PLAN SPECIFICATIONS ESTIMATES FOR THE PARKING LOT, THE AMOUNT OF $141,230 AND DIRECT STAFF TO DESIGN TO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING LANDSCAPE ALTERNATIVES THE CODE COMPLIANT PLAN. CONCEPT PLAN ONE, WHICH IS GRASSES AND TREES WITHOUT THE RAIN GARDEN CONCEPT PLANNED, UM ONE B WITH GRASSES AND TREES WITH THE RAIN GARDEN OR CONCEPT, UH, PLAN TWO, WHICH IS A DESERT, YOU'LL SEE THE NOTES UNDERNEATH THE CO COMP PLAN. IT'S MAY NOT BE SUPPORTED BY THE, UH, ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE.ON THE CONCEPT PLAN ONE B, THEY PROBABLY WILL FAVOR THAT ONE IS WHAT WE UNDERSTAND, BUT, UH, YOU'RE ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ON THAT. UH, CONCEPT PLAN TWO. IT'S A LOWER MAINTENANCE, BUT IT'S WATERFRONT AND LOW MAINTENANCE AND WATER FRIENDLY, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WATER AS MUCH. AND OF COURSE, THE LAST OPTION IS TO NOT APPROVE THE CONTRACT.
RECOMMENDATION IS TO PROVE THE CONTRACT WITH WG. TO CHOOSE EITHER PLAN ONE B OR PLAN TWO.
THE DESERT. WHEN WE GO BACK TO THE DESERT LAYOUT. THAT YOU WANTED TO SEE. IS THAT IS THAT ALL THERE IS. BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT THAT'S IT. OR DID YOU WANT TO SEE THE PLAN ITSELF? THE PLANE ITSELF. THERE YOU GO. YEAH LEON THAT I REALLY LIKE THE DESERT PLAN. ONE REASON BECAUSE THE LOW MAINTENANCE AND, UH YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT WE'VE WENT THROUGH THIS PAST YEAR HAS SHOWN US TO BE MORE. UH ECO FRIENDLY AND WATER SAVVY IS SOMETHING THAT I'M LOOKING AT.
SO I LIKE THE DESERT PLAN. I THINK IT'S REALLY GOOD. I SAW SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS AND, UH, PHOENIX AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A REALLY BEAUTIFUL PARKING LOT. I THINK WE COULD MAKE IT WORK.
BUT THE OTHER THING IS, I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PLANNING IF WE DO ANY TREES AT ALL, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE PUTTING TREES THAT WHO WOULD HAS THE ROOT THAT GOES DOWN INSTEAD OF OUT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO DESTROY ANY SIDEWALKS OR ANY PARKING LOTS AS THEY'RE GROWING SO MAKING SURE WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT KIND OF TREES WERE PUTTING IN THERE AND MAKING SURE IT'S A ROOT SYSTEM THAT GOES DOWNWARD, OK? YES, SIR. COOL. THANK YOU. THAT'S REHEARSE. YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE DESERT PLAN. UM I THINK WE NEED TO START ENCOURAGING THAT MORE AND MORE IN OUR COMMUNITY. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE TREES THERE FOR SURE. AND, UM GOOD PLANT FOR MY IS GOOD COMMENTS FROM MR RIZZO ABOUT, UM , MAKING SURE THAT THE ROOT SYSTEMS SINCE THEY'RE GOING TO BE SO CLOSE TO THE STREET AND TO THE SIDEWALK. UM, WILL BE DEEP ROOTED. OK, ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS? COMMISSIONERS. YOU HAVE ANY FEEDBACK? PREFERENCES. UH, I LIKE THE DESERT OPTION. UM FOR THE SAME REASONS THAT, UH, COMPLIMENT RIZZO MENTIONED I HAVE SEEN SOME LANDSCAPING WITH THE DESERT AND I THOUGHT THAT'S A GOOD MODEL. UM I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S LOVE EVERYDAY PARK, BUT I THINK IT'S DESERT. THIS IS TRUE. IT'S TRUE. THESE ARE OBVIOUS, BUT WELL, IT'S NOT. WHAT'S THE
[00:10:01]
SPANISH WORD FOR YELLOW? THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF THE GREEN STUFF TURNS INTO. SO YEAH, I I'M ALSO SUPPORTIVE OF THE DESERT PLAN. UH, LIKE THE CONSERVATION OF WATER, AND SO, YEAH, I'M GOOD WITH THAT. ALL RIGHT. JUST I WANNA SAY THE SAME THING. UM I THINK THAT SINCE WE ARE LOOKING AT A PARKING LOT, UH, THE DESERT PLAN APPEARS TO BE THE MOST SUITABLE OPTION THERE. I THINK THAT IF THIS WERE IN THE PARK, I OBVIOUSLY I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE RAIN GARDENS, BUT, UM CONSIDERING THAT IT'S A PARKING LOT. THE DESERT OPTION SEEMS TO BE MORE, UH, COST EFFECTIVE. ALL RIGHT. IS UH ARE WE CONCERNED THAT THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE WILL NOT WANT TO APPROVE OPTION CONCEPT PLAN TWO. I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO MEET WITH THE BOARD. UM, I MAY ASK AARON TREVISO WHO'S THE PROJECT MANAGER TO COME UP, AND HE ACTUALLY TALKED TO MR STEVEN SPEARS ABOUT THE PROJECT AND SEE IF HE CAN ENLIGHTEN US AS TO WHAT HE HEARD FROM STEVEN STEVEN . WE REACHED OUT TO STEVEN AND HE WEIGHED IN AND EXPRESSED THAT HE THEY LIKED THE, UM, RAIN GARDEN. THE BEST. UM, BUT DIDN'T HE'S ONLY ONE MEMBER OF THE AC. IT'S ONE OF THREE AND, UM HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THE DESERT PLAN. HE DID SAY THEY WOULD NOT APPROVE THE CODE COMPLIANT PLAN. OK? ALL RIGHT. WELL I'LL JUST I'M LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR WITH DIRECTION TO PROCEED WITH CONCEPT PLAN TWO. THE DESERT PLAN. SECOND MOTION BY THE MAYOR, SECOND BY MAYOR PRO TEM IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE, I GUESS. ONE QUICK QUESTION IF SORRY. JUMP IN JUST TO GET I'M I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF CALL. I HAVE TO FINISH CALLING THE VOTE. ALL RIGHT. I'LL OPPOSE ALL RIGHT. MOTION CARRIES, UM BECAUSE ZUNIGA IF THE RAIN FLOWER BED OPTION, WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE VOLUME OF WATER? THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN REQUIRED THERE. THAT I CAN'T TELL YOU, UH , BOARD MEMBER. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT NUMBER WOULD BE. I DON'T KNOW. WOULD YOU HAVE A NUMBER? NOT AT THIS TIME, WE WOULDN'T HAVE A NUMBER. OK? BUT I GUESS IF THEY IF THAT COMES BACK, I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE WHAT THE AMOUNT OF WATER IS THAT THEY'D BE INSISTING ON THAT WE WOULD NEED WHERE THE RAIN FLOWER BEDS. YES, SIR. THANK YOU, MAYOR. ALL RIGHT. UH, WE'LL MOVE ON IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS TO[IV.2. Receive a project update report and hold a discussion on the intersection improvements project for Kohlers Crossing at Benner, Sanders, and Cromwell. (Item Presenter: Leon Barba, P.E., City Engineer)]
AGENDA ITEM, TWO RECEIVE PROJECT UPDATE REPORT AND WHOLE DISCUSSION ON THE INTERSECTION.IMPROVEMENTS FOR CALLERS AT VENNER CENTERS AND CROMWELL.
BACKGROUND ON THIS ONE IS THAT, UH, WE WERE ALL AUTHORIZED BY COUNSEL TO DO A PRELIMINARY ENGINEER REPORT AT THE VARIOUS INTERSECTIONS AT CROMWELL, BENNER AND SANDERS AND THE STATION POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS. UH, STAFF REPRESENTATIVE FINDINGS ON FEBRUARY 7TH TO COUNCIL AND, UH, P ER PRELIMINARY ENGINE REPORT RECOMMENDED ROUNDABOUTS AT THOSE LOCATIONS OVER TRAFFIC SIGNALS. AND BASED ON THAT DECISION WAS DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE TOURS BOARD FOR THEIR REVIEW AND POSSIBLY FUNDING THAT THOSE PROJECTS. ON MAY 18TH. THE TSE BOARD PROVED ISSUING A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE ROUNDABOUT IMPROVEMENTS. WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS AND, UH, AMERICAN STRUCTURE POINT WAS SELECTED AS A FIRM TO DO THE ROUNDABOUT DESIGN. ON NOVEMBER 29TH 2023, THE TOURS BOARD APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH AMERICAN STRUCTURE POINT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF 30 PER CENT SCHEMATIC SET OF PLANS. THIS IS OUR TEST ORDER. UH, THEY THEY THIS IS WHERE THEY ARE TODAY ON THAT REPORT. THEY'RE AT THE 10% ON THE SUMMARY REPORT. THEY'RE AT 30% OF THE DESIGN SCHEMATIC. THEY'RE WORKING ON THE CONCEPTUAL LAYOUTS THAT YOU STILL NEED TO COMPLETE THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL DASHBOARD REVIEW.
UH, THERE'S A QUESTION ABOUT PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT, AND WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT THE BOARD HOW MUCH THE BOARD WANTS US TO DO ON THAT. SO THAT MAY BE A QUESTION. WE HAVE TO ASK YOU ABOUT THAT, UH, TRAFFIC DATA HAS BEEN COLLECTED THROUGH ABOUT 50% THROUGH ON THE ANALYSIS OF THAT SERVING AND MAPPING IS PRETTY MUCH COMPLETED, 90% COMPLETE AND THEY STILL HAVE TO DO SOME SUBSURFACE UTILITY ENGINEERING AND THEY'RE ABOUT 50% COMPLETE ON THAT. OK, SO THE NEXT STEP IS WE'LL FINALIZE THOSE CONCEPTUAL LAYOUTS AND PRESENT THEM TO THE BOARD AT THE NEXT MEETING, WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS GONNA BE APRIL. 2ND UH, BEF. AFTER THAT WE'LL FINALIZE THE 30% SCHEMATIC AND THEN PRESENT TO THE BOARD AFTER WE GET PUBLIC INPUT, AND THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION AT THAT MEETING . WE'LL ASK YOU FOR WHAT? HOW MUCH PUBLIC INPUT DO YOU WANT US TO DO? DO YOU WANT US TO DO ANY
[00:15:02]
PUBLIC INPUT? DO YOU WANT US TO HAVE A UH, BUT WHAT KIND OF INPUT DO YOU WANT US TO DO AT THAT POINT, SO THAT'S WHAT WE'LL BE ASKING YOU AT THAT APRIL 2ND MEETING. UM AT THAT POINT, THE BOARD WILL PROVIDE DIRECTION THE NEXT PHASE OF THE PROJECT AFTER COMPLETION OF THE 30% SCHEMATIC, BRING SOMETHING BACK TO YOU IN JUNE OF 2024. USED TO TOUCH QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR BARBER. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WITH REGARDS TO THE PROJECT? ALL RIGHT. WE'LL MOVE[IV.3. Receive a project update report and hold a discussion on the construction status of the retail road facilities and associated improvements in the Brick and Mortar District. (Item Presenter: Leon Barba, P.E., City Engineer)]
ON TO AGENDA ITEM THREE. RECEIVE A, UH, PROJECT UPDATE REPORT AND WHOLE DISCUSSION ON THE CONSTRUCTION STATUS OF THE RETAIL ROAD FACILITIES AND ASSOCIATED IMPROVEMENTS IN THE BRICK AND MORTAR DISTRICT. THERE'S A BACKGROUND ON THIS SEPTEMBER. 5TH 23 COUNCIL APPROVE THE SIGNING OF THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN PLUM CREEK DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS AND WAIWG. I INCORPORATED INTO THE CITY. THEY COMPLETED THEIR CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND ADVERTISED THE PROJECTS. UH, IN IN DECEMBER OF 2023. UNFORTUNATELY WE DID NOT GET ANY BIDS WHATSOEVER ON FEBRUARY 1ST OF 2024 SO THE CONTRACT BIDDING DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN REVISED BASED ON CONTRACTOR FEEDBACK, AND THAT CONSISTS OF ONE BASE BID AND ONE ALTERNATE BID. SO WE'RE HOPING TO GET SOME BIDS. UH, THIS TIME FROM THE CONTRACTORS, UH, WE DO EXPECT TO GET THOSE BIDS ON MARCH THE 21ST OF THIS MONTH. ONCE WE OPEN THOSE BIDS, WE'LL HAVE TO REVIEW THE CONTRACTS, HOPEFULLY, WITH AT LEAST 2 TO 3 BIDS. HOPEFULLY THEN WE'LL GET A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FROM WG. I AND THEN WE'LL BRING BACK THAT. BRING THAT BACK TO THE BOARD.HOPEFULLY AT THE APRIL 2ND MEETING. QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR BARBER? MAYOR PRO TEMP. SO YOU TALKED ABOUT NOT GETTING ANY BIDS EARLY ON, WAS IT BECAUSE WE JUST HAVE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CONTRACTORS OUT THERE OR WHAT? WHAT WAS THE CASE? WHY WE DIDN'T GET SO MANY ANY BIDS FOR IT WHEN WE'VE ORIGINALLY POSTED IT. WE HAD QUITE A FEW VENDORS AND CONTRACTORS PICK UP THE PLANS. WE TRACK THAT THROUGH A BIDDING AGENCY THAT WE USE. AND SO WE HAD GOOD, GOOD. UH, AMOUNT OF FOLKS HAVE PICKED UP THE PLANS, BUT THE FEEDBACK WE GOT WAS THERE WERE TOO MANY ALTERNATIVES. IT WAS TOO CONFUSING. AND UH SO WE DECIDED TO MAKE IT AS SIMPLE AS WE COULD, WITH AGAIN ONE BASE BID AND ONE ALTERNATE RATHER THAN HAVING ALL THESE DIFFERENT OPTIONS. SO UH, THEY DIDN'T WANNA ACTUALLY TAKE TIME TO GO THROUGH EACH ONE OF THE BIDS ALTERNATES THAT WE HAD ON THERE AND THAT THAT'S WHY THEY DIDN'T BID ON IT. SO IT'S COMPLICATED FOR THAT, JUST MAKING SURE WE DIDN'T HAVE A SHORTAGE IN THE AREA OF CONTRACTORS TO DO WORK. THAT KIND OF SCARED ME THERE FOR A MINUTE. I APPRECIATE THE EXPLANATION, LEON. THANK YOU. OK, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. IS THAT IT? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONERS. APPRECIATE IT. Y'ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY. MOTION TO ADJOURN. WELL, ALL RIGHT, WE ARE ADJOURNED.
