Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - April 19, 1993 Page - 6 - 7. NEW BUSINESS Items Removed from the Consent Calendar. 6.C. Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Enter Into a Contract with Pacific Union Ventures for Development Services (authorizes the City Manager to sign a contract to provide for development services for the seismic retrofit of the Fire Stations, the Public Safety Building, and the Emergency Operations Center [EOC]) . Council Member Kerr said Consent Items C and D had to do with authorizing the City Manager to enter into contracts for development services totaling $438,000. He said there is a committee studying these projects, and he felt it would be wise to hold off on these agreements until after the committee made its recommendation. He also asked why the contracts did not have to go out to competitive bid. He made a motion to hold off on the two items pending further information from the committee studying these issues. Mike Oliver, City Manager, said the provision of professional services is specifically exempt from bid requirements, and the City has historically not gone out to bid for these services but uses a revised RFP/RFQ process. He said this will represent a continuation of the work that has already been done on City Hall by these companies, and the City has negotiated with both Pacific Union and Collaborative Designs and reviewed and reduced the scope of work. He said, at Work Session, the discussion was to hold the work to Phases 1, 2, and 3 to allow the City to proceed to begin to develop cost estimates for the fire stations and other essential buildings. Council Member Kerr asked what the cost for the three items would be. It was noted it would be $252,000. Council Member Kerr said he still felt this should be deferred until after a recommendation from the committee. Mr. Oliver said the recommendations to proceed were based on the recommendations of the Public Advisory Task Force made in February or March, which was to begin on a priority basis. He said the number one priority basis for the City was to seismically retrofit and assure the safety of the five fire stations, the Emergency Operations Center, and the Public Safety Building; and, at that time, the City had not obtained cost estimates and construction documents. That was the purpose of bringing this to the City Council . Council Member Kerr said the committee would be looking at the specific buildings to determine what they feel needs to be done, and the committee would determine what needs to be done as far as the contract for the design is concerned.
