One of the recommendations was that the City hire Sink, Combs and Dethlefs for architectural/engineering services associated with any potential arena project. This recommendation was based on Don Dethlefs' demonstrated vision, creativity, cost conscious approach, and experience in designing similar facilities. The conceptual drawings located a new arena adjacent to the Auditorium, made use of existing topography and allowed for reuse of existing facilities as ways to contain costs. In addition, he presented an outline of a master plan for the entire complex that identifies potential additional projects that would improve and integrate various elements of the property. As a result, staff was directed to obtain a proposal from Sink, Combs and Dethlefs for architectural and engineering services to assist in defining the overall potential scope of a potential Phase I project at the schematic design level. The initial fee proposal was percentage based. The Finance Committee indicated its preference to obtain a fixed fee proposal for the envisioned work through schematic design. Staff anticipates having a fixed fee proposal to present to the Council prior to the adoption of this Order on 5/24/2010. Depaftment Head Manager's Comments: This was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Finance Committee on 5/17/20 with the provision that the contract be based on a fixed fee proposal.
