Agency Minutes August 17, 2010 Page 2 C. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. CRA 10-1002 — APPROVAL OF PAYMENT OF BILLS Adopted Resolution No. CRA 10-1002, a RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY ALLOWING CLAIMS AND DEMANDS IN THE SUM OF $465,212.50 DEMAND NOS. 3777-3778 (FY 2010-2011). D. CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH VANIR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT INC. The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board was requested to review and approve a $125,000 Consultant Services Agreement with Vanir Construction Management Inc. (i.e., Vanir) to: 1) Undertake a thorough review and analysis of the draft Rosemead Boulevard Safety Enhancements and Beautification Project; and 2) Provide the CRA with an implementation plan that takes into consideration a redesign of the currently proposed utilitarian improvements to the Rosemead Boulevard Safety Enhancements and Beautification Project, which will partially take place within the Rosemead Boulevard Redevelopment Project Area. Mr. Blum stated that the Rosemead Boulevard Improvement Project Ad Hoc Committee, consisting of himself and Mr. Yu, have been going through the process of selecting a firm to perform the project management and get through the design phase and then finally the construction phase. The Committee has selected the firm and is ready to start that process. The amount of $125,000 is to get through the initial phases and then an agreement amendment will be needed to undertake the remaining phases. Executive Director Pulido stated a couple of years ago, the design for Rosemead Boulevard was very utilitarian and did not maximize our large potential investment. Through this contract we will have a construction management firm to evaluate the project and make sure the areas along Rosemead Boulevard actually get the proper enhancements. This requires some analysis that we do not have the staff or resources to do. In response to Vice Chairman Chavez. he stated it is too early to tell what the later phases will cost. This project will be phased in over time and the numbers will probably change, depending on the project budget. The Agency is asked to take on Phase 1, which is the re- Agency Minutes August 17, 2010 Page 3 design, and then to take on the some of the tasks of Phase 2, which gets us to the bidding process. Then, from that point forward an amendment to the agreement would be needed if you wanted to continue with Vanir to do the construction management. This is being presented to the Agency to take a second look at the project. Vice Chairman Chavez said he felt this was an opportunity to not do what we did on Las Tunas, and that is to create a race track. He liked the idea of looking to see what we can do to slow traffic down and accommodate drawing businesses in. Mr. Blum moved to: 1) Approve a $125,000 Consultant Services Agreement with Vanir Construction Management Inc. to provide the GRA with a redesign implementation plan for the Rosemead Boulevard Safety Enhancements and Beautification Project; 2) Approve a budget amendment to appropriate $125,000 from the FY 2010-11 Agency Budget; and 3) Authorize the Executive Director to finalize and execute the Consultant Services Agreement with Vanir Construction Management Inc., seconded by Vice Chairman Chavez and unanimously carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Member -Blum, Chavez, Vizcarra NOES: Member -None ABSENT: Member-Sternquist, Yu ABSTAIN: Member -None 4.
