12-13-16 BOA Minutes December 13, 2016 Page 4 of 12 Cheryl Adelstein, Director of Community Relations, Washington University, expressed that it is a pleasure to work with the City. Alderman Berger expressed his concerns regarding the City covering the expenses in the delivery of services to Washington University. In referencing the contract with regard to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) he stated that he cannot imagine that the CPI would have covered the costs increases in any of the previous five years and asked for clarification. City Manager Owens stated that they felt that there were some increases beyond CPI and in this agreement there is a significant increase. Staff feels that the new index of the CPI is expected to put the City in a good position going forward. Chief Mark Thorp confirmed that the last contract only included a CPI increase and the actual costs were exceeded. There is an adjustment, a “true-up” included in the contract’s base fee this year. In an effort to keep the process where Washington University could budget and know some limitations to their costs they came up with the “formula” through negotiation of either five percent or CPI, whichever would be greater. Based on historical data over the last period it would keep us meeting all of the costs for the services provide.

Based on historical data over the last period it would keep us meeting all of the costs for the services provide. In response to Alderman Boulton’s questions, Chief Thorp stated that the last contract was five, one-year agreements and all went by CPI with the exception of the first year, which was a “true- up” adding that the City has provided the service for several years. he said that based on what is projected for salary increases and the economy the CPI would be the lead factor, but if it (economy) stays like usual, than the five percent will stay well within the projected outreach budget. He does not believe that costs would increase by more than five percent. In response to Alderman Berger’s question, Chief Thorp confirmed that the service formula included personnel costs, capital expenditures, and operating expenses. In response to Alderman Berger’s question, Chief Thorp that service calls are not so much affected by the number of buildings, but more by population. The University has a projected increase in some structures on the east end of the campus that would be covered by the contract. He does not believe that it would be so significant that it will impact the service delivery.

FOR THE SHAW PARK ICE RINK AND MULTI-USE FACILITY PROJECT

City Manager Owens reported that on July 15, 2016 the City issued a Request for Qualifications for Architectural and Engineering Services for the Shaw Park Ice Rink and Multi-Use Facility Design Work. We received three submittals from the following firms: Chiodini Architects, Hastings & Chivetta and Jacobs Engineering Firm, Inc. (Jacobs). A selection panel composed of staff from the Parks & Recreation Department and Public Works Department as well as the Chair of the Parks & Recreation Commission interviewed the three firms in September to determine which one was the best choice for this project. The consensus was that the team from Jacobs was the top candidate to complete the design work as laid out in the RFQ. Due to their past history and knowledge of the existing facility, experience with other similar projects, design approach and references, those on the committee recommended moving forward with a contract with Jacobs. The contract in front of you tonight includes not only design work which will be completed in 2017 but also the bidding and construction services which will be part of the FY2018 capital budget.
