BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the 46 firms contacted, 11 submitted Letters of Interest and SOQ’s. Special Districts
chose 3 firms based on their unique qualifications. Stantec Architecture Inc. was one of
the firms selected. Special Districts requires a landscape architectural firm to ensure that
the landscape areas it manages are designed, constructed and maintained in accordance
with the Public Works Department’s Landscape Standards. Additionally, a firm is needed
to provide playground safety inspections, maintenance inspections, design work and
similar services. Services are paid by developer fees and through various Special
Districts funds. The contract is being extended without any change to the payment limit.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board approval, Special Districts will not be able to provide these services with
the required level of expertise needed to ensure that the landscape areas it manages are
designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with the Public Works Department's
Landscape Standards.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
