WHEREAS, on February 14, 2012, the City Council of the City of Carlsbad,
California, authorized Design Builder Request for Proposals for the design and
construction of Alga Norte Community Park Phase I, Project No. 3837A, ("Park
Project"); and,
WHEREAS, the City Council is scheduled to award the design build contract for
the Park Project at their meeting on April 24, 2012; and,
WHEREAS, the City requires the services of a design consulting firm to provide
design compliance oversight on the Park Project; and,
WHEREAS, such services can be uniquely provided by the firm of Wimmer,

prepared the plans and specifications for the Park Project, which plans and
specifications form the basis of the current performance specifications to be used by the
design builder for the Park Project; and,

firm, other than WYAC, to obtain the level of understanding of the project plans and
specifications necessary to perform the design compliance oversight services required

perform the design compliance oversight services required by the City having prepared

of $2,230,845; and,
1 WHEREAS, it would be impractical and not in the best interests of the City to

11 the amount of $265,000.

13 Carlsbad, California, as follows that:
