HomeMy WebLinkAboutApprove Professional Services Agreement with TOP funds with TD& H for Sports Park Project_Part8 Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Jeff Graff, TOPs Program Manager
Mitch Overton, Parks and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: Approve a Professional Services Agreement utilizing Trails, Open Space
and Parks funds not to exceed $10,000 with TD&H Engineering to
determine the cost of municipal infrastructure for a proposed Sports Park
project by a Trails, Open Space and Parks applicant
MEETING DATE: February 24, 2014
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize City Manager to sign Agreement with TD&H Engineering.
BACKGROUND: On Feb 3, 2014, the Bozeman Soccer Education Foundation (BSEF)
submitted an application to the TOPs Program requesting $8,942,200 in TOPs funding for a proposed Sports Park to be located on an 80 acre parcel of land on the corner of Flanders Mill
Road and Baxter Lane. The funding request in the application indentified costs necessary to
purchase the property and costs associated with the design and construction of the proposed
sports park but did not include costs for municipal infrastructure. In order to develop the Sports
Park as it is being proposed by BSEF, municipal improvements would need to be constructed around the property prior to the construction of any park improvements on the property. The
TOPs committee reviewed and approved a Rough Cut of the Sports Park as proposed by the
BSEF in their application on February 13, 2014 and also passed a motion “to support
authorization of funds to be determined by the Commission for a Professional Services
Agreement for engineering services to determine the cost of municipal infrastructure for the proposed Sports Park project.”
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: The issue of funding the cost of municipal infrastructure necessary
to provide access to proposed TOPs projects was discussed at the Dec. 2, 2013 Commission meeting when the Commission considered and approved a resolution in support of the Bozeman Ponds project. At the time, the Commission approved funding for the purchase of the property
and funding for park improvements to the Bozeman Ponds property, but deferred on the question
of cost and funding sources for municipal improvements to the property.
ALTERNATIVES: Based upon the TOPs Committee motion, the Commission may wish to
discuss options (i.e. identify appropriate funding sources) on how to fund the cost of services
necessary to determine municipal infrastructure costs.
52
If funding for the PSA is not provided, the issue of determining the cost of municipal
infrastructure required for the Sport Park project will be deferred to the Commission if the
project is approved by the TOPs committee.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The proposed PSA would utilize no more than $10,000 in TOPs funding
to obtain an engineering report to determine the costs of municipal infrastructure of the proposed
Sports Park project.
