TITLE. SELECTION OF CONSULTAWT AS LIAISON
FOR STREETSCAPE PROJECT
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The $6,000,000 downtown streetscape/parkins lot project will
cause sisnificant disruption to access, commerce and tourism in the Villase area. Constant communication with the affected parties will be necessary. The quantity and consistency of interaction between contractor/City and merchant/owners is beyond the ability of regular City staff to provide. Right of Entry Agreements and Right of Way
Acquisition documents must be acquired. Time consuming
updates and status reports must be provided daily in
positive, clear terms. An ombudsman assisned to this job on a part time basis (up to 20 hours a week) could perform these duties.
The Community Development Director and City Engineer concur with this action after discussions with Municipal Projects.
We feel that Bill Baldwin would be an appropriate candidate
for this position.
Bill Baldwin is a former Assistant City Manager of the City of Carlsbad. Bill has a thorough knowledge of contracting procedures, inspection policies, City personnel and public relations. His extensive experience in local issue resolqtion should make him an ideal mediator. He recently was instrumental in the successful negotiation of a 60 space
parking lot on State Street.
Commission's adoption of Resolution No. 173 will authorize the Chairperson to execute the agreement to hire Bill Baldwin as a part time consultant for six (6) months at a fee of
$30.00 per hour.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The consultant will work a maximum of 20 hours per week.at
$30.00 per hour for six (6) months for a total cost of
$15,000. Funds are available in the Redevelopment operating budget.
