AGENDA TITLE: Adopt a Resolution approving Professional Services Agreement with LSA
Associates, Inc. for Planning Services for Various Planning Functions in the
Community Development Department and Authorize the City Manager to Sign the
Agreement in the Amount of $8,100 per Month for 90 hours of Guaranteed Service
and, if Required, Time and Material Costs of Additional Service
MEETING DATE:
PREPARED BY:
May 4, 2005
Deputy City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution approving professional
services with LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA) for general planning
services and authorize the City Manager to sign a Professional
Services Agreement in an amount of $8,100 per month for 90 hours
of guaranteed service, and, if required, time and material costs of
additional service.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Community Development Department is tasked with many
functions including planning services, code enforcement, and
building code compliance. The Department is currently short-staffed
with the recent departure of the Community Development Director and with a vacant City Planner
position and the workload continues to build with no anticipation of a decrease in activity in the near
future. As such, the City Manager is recommending that the City contract for general planning services
with a consulting agency as a stop -gap until such time as a new Community Development Director
and City Planner begin their employment.
To select a planning service agency, the City Manager solicited proposals from three firms with two
responding. After reviewing their proposals, the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, and the Building
Official interviewed the firms to further assess their availability, pricing, and experience for the necessary
projects. The City Manager selected LSA and Associates, Inc. (LSA) as the preferred firm for performing
the needed services.
Following is a summation of the Scope of Services for interim planning services:
1. LSA will provide a senior and/or principal level person who will be available to: a) respond to
planning and/or environmental review questions that may arise on an as -needed basis b)
review draft documents and reports for quality and accuracy.
2. LSA will provide a staff -level planner to assist with staffing the Planning counter and/or
processing development applications on a twice per week basis.
APPROVED:
Blair kisi6, City Manager
LSA will accomplish requested tasks based on a minimum monthly retainer of $8,100 (two days per week
for Planner and 20 hours per month for Principal) and time and materials if extra services are required.
Attached is a copy of the Professional Service Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of professional services are $8,100 per month with services being
providing during the interim until such time as a Community Development
Director and City Planner are hired to fill the two vacancies. Salary savings
from the Community Development Director's vacancy will be used to offset
the cost of the professional services. The net salary savings after
deducting for the professional services costs paid for out -of -class work is
$5,850 per month. Salary with benefits budgeted in FY 05-06 for the City
Planner position is $12,333 per month.

LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA) is pleased to provide this proposal to provide contract planning services
to the City of Lodi. We understand that the City is currently without a Community Development
Director and that the City hopes to have a new director in place within four to six months. During
that time, the City may need assistance with some of its planning efforts by a senior -level
planner/manager and potentially a staff -level planner. LSA's proposal to assist the City with contract
planning services during this interim time is described below.
Scope of Work
Assistant Planner. LSA would supplement the City planning staff with an assistant planner two days
a week for a period of approximately six months. We would assign Jason Burke to this task. During
the two days a week he is at the City, Jason could assist with the counter and take on specific projects
and assignments. Amy Paulsen, Planner, who is assisting with the FCB projects could also be
available to assist on project -specific work if needed.
Assistance to Interim Director. Lynette Dias, Principal would be available to assist the Interim
Community Development Director. She would: 1) conduct a weekly conference call with the
planners to discuss new projects, work load and products to be completed that week; 2) respond to
planning and/or environmental review questions that may arise on an as -needed basis, 3) review draft
documents and reports for quality and accuracy, 4) and attend meetings and hearings as necessary.
Estimated Cost
The cost for providing an Assistant Planner two days a week per month (-70 hours) and 20 hours of
Principal time is $8,100, which reflects a 7 percent discount off our standard hourly rates.
