Conejo Recreation & Park District GENERAL MANAGER Jim Friedl DATE: July 15, 20211 TO: Board of Directors FROM: Jim Friedl, General Manager BOARD OF DIRECTORS Doug Nickles, Chair Nellie Cusworth, Vice Chair George M. Lange, Director Susan L. Holt, Director Chuck Huffer, Director GENERAL MANAGER EMERITUS Tex Ward SUB,.JECT: Contract with RRM Design Group in the amount of $607000 for Phase 1 (General Plan Update Coordination) and Phase 2 (Draft Master Plan Services) RECOMMENDATION Authorize General Manager to enter into a contract with RRM Design Group in the total amount of $60,000 for Phase 1 (General Plan Update Coordination) and Phase 2 (Draft Master Plan Services). DIS(�USSION Over the past two years, the City of Thousand Oaks has been coordinating the update to their General Plan. The General Plan is the planning and policy document that guides development, enhancement, and conservation in Thousand Oaks. Its purpose is to establish the community's vision for how it will evolve in the years to come and to put tools in place to implement that vision. Further information can be found at www.toaks2045.org. As the City's vision evolves, so will District's parks and facilities need to change to serve the community. The District's Master Plan serves as the Recreation Element of the City's General Plan and, therefore, District staff has been involved throughout the General Plan process; however, in order to assist in the land use and policy review of the General Plan as well as positioning the District for future growth and development in unison with that of the City, staff believes utilizing an outside consultant would be beneficial to the process. RRM Design Group has worked on past and current District projects (McCrea Ranch Visitor Center, Sapwi Trails Community Park, and Teen and Adult Center Expansion Project), various City of Thou:3and Oaks projects, and various general plan updates/housing elements for other agencies. Thus, due to RRM's demonstrated competence, professional qualifications, and familiarity with the District and City, staff recommends entering into a contract for these services. Staff considers the cost of these services to be fair and reasonable. Furthermore, the contract is structured so that, at this time, the District is only obligated for RRM to complete Phase 1 (General Plan Update Coordination of proposed planning and policy documents) and Phase 2 (includes a draft update of the District's Master Plan). Upon completion of Phase 1 and Phase 2, staff will return to the Board for an update and a recommendation for possible further action.
