HomeMy Public PortalAbout2020.04.23 Planning, Design and Engineering Agreement - Lake Front Improvement Project 1 PLANNING, DESIGN,AND ENGINEERING AGREEMENT FOR THE LAKE FRONT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT THIS PLANNING, DESIGN, AND ENGINEERING AGREEMENT FOR THE LAKE FRONT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ("Agreement") is made and entered into this �23 day of A�wi , 2020, by and between the City of McCall, Idaho, a municipal corporation of the state of Idaho (the "City"), and the Urban Renewal Agency of the City of McCall, Idaho, also known as the McCall Redevelopment Agency, an independent public body corporate and politic, (the "Agency"), individually referred to as "Parry" and collectively as the "Parties." RECITALS The Agency is authorized to undertake and carry out urban renewal projects to eliminate, remedy, or prevent deteriorated or deteriorating areas through redevelopment, rehabilitation or conservation, or any combination thereof, within its area of operation and is authorized to carry out such projects jointly with the City. The City Council, after notice duly published, conducted a public hearing on the 1990 Urban Renewal Plan for the Railroad Avenue Area(the "Railroad Avenue Plan"). Following said public hearing, the City Council adopted its Ordinance No. 578 on December 13, 1990, approving the Railroad Avenue Plan, establishing what is commonly referred to as the Lakefront Project Area, which area is depicted on Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. In 2006, pursuant to Section 900 of the Railroad Avenue Plan, the Agency prepared the 2006 Updated Urban Renewal Plan (the "Amended Railroad Avenue Plan"). The Amended Railroad Avenue Plan identified creation or improvement of lake front improvements, shoreline restoration/stabilization and the construction of a boardwalk/overlook area to the south of Brown Park, as well as enhancements to pathways and Payette Lake access as important objectives of the plan actions, as further set forth in the McCall Lake Front Improvements — An Urban Renewal Project, Design Development and Decision Package, dated October 2006 (the "Lake Front Improvement Project Plan"). The Agency and the City have jointly and collectively undertaken and made improvements identified in the Lake Front Improvement Project Plan within the Lake Front Project Area as part of the urban renewal plan contemplated improvements. As a result of the overall investment in public improvements within the Lake Front Project Area, significant economic investment and reinvestment has occurred in and around the Lake Front Project Area and has incrgased recreation and public access to Payette Lake. The Amended Railroad Avenue Plan and the Lake Front Project Area terminate December 31, 2020, recognizing the Agency shall receive its allocation of revenues in 2021, PLANNING,DESIGN,AND ENGINEERING AGREEMENT FOR THE LAKE FRONT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT- I pursuant to Idaho Code § 50-2903(7) (the "Termination Date"). Many of the proposed improvements north of Mile High Marina to Brown Park identified in the Lake Front Improvement Project Plan have not been completed and continue to suffer from certain deteriorating conditions. Over several years, that portion of the Lake Front north of the Marina to Brown Park has deteriorated to the point of requiring major improvements. In order to better understand the costs associated with the remaining projects in the Lake Front Improvement Project Plan, further planning, design, and engineering is necessary. Preliminary estimates for the costs of the planning, design, and engineering for those improvements identified in the Lake Front Improvement Project Plan north of Mile High Marina to Brown Park total $200,000 (the "Lake Front Improvement Project"). The Agency Board finds it in the best interests of the Agency to continue to enhance the development within the Lake Front Project Area and in the best interests of the public to provide financial support for the Lake Front Improvement Project. The Agency and City desire that the Lake Front Improvement Project be planned, designed, and engineered to allow further consideration of funding for certain additional construction projects within the Lake Front Project Area prior to the Termination Date. The City has expressed its desire to participate with the Agency for the purpose of assisting in the planning, design, and engineering the Lake Front Improvement Project and providing construction planning, design, and engineering services to the Agency for the Lake Front Improvement Project. The City and the Agency hereby find and determine that this Agreement enables them to cooperate to their mutual advantage in a manner that will best accord with the needs and development of the City and the Agency. The ability for the City and Agency to cooperate and jointly. benefit each other is expressly allowed pursuant to Idaho Code Section 50-2015. In consideration of the payment by the Agency for the Lake Front Improvement Project costs, as more specifically defined in this Agreement, the City hereby agrees to serve and perform as project manager for the planning, design, and engineering of the Lake Front Improvement Project; said design to be subject to the review and approval of the Agency.
