SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECO14MENDED ACTION:
A. APPROVE the following firms as highly qualified to provide
architectural services for a master plan for Magee Park,
Danville & Alamo, listed in order of preference, as
recommended by the selection committee: David L. Gates &
Associates, Danville, First; Amphion Environmental, Inc. ,
second; Wolfe Mason Associates, third.
B. AUTHORIZE the Director of General Services to ( 1) negotiate
an appropriate agreement with the firm listed first for
landscape architectural services at a price which the
Director determines to be fair and reasonable to the County,
and ( 2) if a satisfactory agreement cannot be negotiated, to
formally terminate negotiations with the first firm and
undertake negotiations with the other firms, in the order of
preference determined by the selection committee, until an
appropriate agreement is reached.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Authorizing negotiations will have no significant financial
impact. Any agreement resulting from these negotiations will
be submitted to the Board for approval, and, if approved,
will encumber funds from a plant acquisition account which
will be established for the master plan. The master plan
preparation will be funded by equal financial contribution
from the County and the Town of Danville.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
A. On May 14, 1987, the Board approved a Joint Powers
Agreement with the Town of Danville for maintenance and
operation of the proposed Magee Park for County Service
Area R7-A. The agreement created a Joint Planning and
Operations Committee with representation from the City
and the County Service Area. Under the agreement, one of
the duties of the Committee is to prepare a master plan
for future .development of the site.

B. Subsequently, the Community Development Department
solicited proposals from 19 .recommended landscape design
and planning firms. On August 31, 1987, the County
received eight proposals. A selection committee
representing the Joint Planning and Operations Committee,
reviewed the proposals and invited six of the most
qualified firms to interviews, held on October 11 1987.
The selection committee included representatives from the
Town of Danville, Service Area R7-A, and the County
Community Development and General Services Departments.
C. The selection committee has recommended that the Director
of General Services, on behalf of the Joint Planning and
Operations Committee, seek authorization to negotiate an
appropriate agreement for landscape architectural
services with the candidate ranked first and, if
negotiations fail, to negotiate with the other firms in
the order of preference established by the committee.
D. The firm ranked first is 500 owned by females; 100 of the
professionals employed by the firm are minorities, 700 of
the professionals are female.
E. The County must proceed with an agreement for landscape
architectural services because it does not have staff to
provide the services.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this recommendation is not approved, the County will risk
delay in a project which, under the terms of a Joint Powers
Agreement with the Town of Danville, the County has agreed to
proceed with as soon as possible.
