Worthington AIA ASLA and Associates. MEETING DATE: May 5, 1999 PREPARED BY: Economic Development Coordinator RECOMMENDATION: To approve the Agreement for Professional Services for Carl A. Worthington and Associates to carry out a scope of work that includes the preparation of thematic urban design plans for the joint Cinema/Parking/Retail/Streetscape project. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Over the past year, the City of Lodi has taken part in ongoing theater discussions with the proposed developers, Edward A. Barkett and Anthony M. Barkett. In an attempt to make the project economically viable and create a strong anchor to furthering the Downtown redevelopment, designs of the facility have taken on many different looks. A consistent effort, however, has been made to cooperatively partner with the developer on all aspects of the project. In fact, a precedent has been established to financially partner with the Barketts on issues of common interest and benefit to both parties. Examples include the original combination theater/parking structure design and the Environmental Site Assessment Analysis, Phases I and II. For cost reasons, we have abandoned the combination theater/parking structure concept and have begun a master design plan on a theme that will include three separate but complementary elements: 1) A downtown "park and ride" structure that is to be financed with a combination of federal grant moneys, 2) Streetscape treatment along Elm and Sacramento Streets to be funded with Community Development Block Grant Funds, and 3) A theater design. The trick to the master design plan is to jointly coordinate the three components with a common architectural theme — a task left to the Carl A. Worthington design team that has extensive experience in specially designed infill entertainment—oriented projects. As a matter of information, the Worthington design team was selected through an RFP process conducted by the developers, and after several interview sessions with City staff. Since two of the project components, parking structure and streetscape design, are considered to be the City's sole responsibility, we are proposing to participate with the developer in assuming our share of the design costs. These costs will be born by the Business Attraction Fund which was adopted by the Council in October of 1996 as part of the Central City Revitalization Incentive Package. Applicable contracts and memorandums of understanding are attached.
