Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Contract 16316, with The Broussard Group, Inc., dba TBG Partners, for professional services for design development and construction documents, for a Civic Park in Downtown Lubbock.
Item Summary
On June 9, 2020, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2020-R0187 to approve and adopt the Updated Downtown Master Plan, as recommended by the Central Business District Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone (CBD TIF) Board of Directors. The plan included many recommendations for downtown redevelopment. Green space is a key component in the city's plan for downtown redevelopment, and one of the recommendations is for a large, centralized Civic Park on Broadway at the former Lubbock Power & Light location. This park will serve as a multi-functional "living room" for all of Lubbock, filling a great need for an iconic and vibrant hub of activity in the heart of downtown.
On December 15, 2020, the City Council approved Contract 15438, with TBG Partners, to provide professional services for the design of a Civic Park at 1301 Broadway. TBG Partners was led by a committee that was appointed by the Mayor, and also conducted two public input sessions throughout the design process. The final schematic design, Wind + Water, was presented to the City Council on August 24, 2021.
On September 28, 2021, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2021-R0388 approving the Civic Park project to be located at 1301 Broadway, utilizing the Wind + Water design as created by TBG Partners and as recommended by the CBD TIF Reinvestment Zone Board.
Based on the City Council's recommendation, contract negotiations were conducted with TBG Partners, and fair and reasonable rates were agreed upon for a total contract amount not to exceed $971,000. This contract is for 36 months, and the scope of work will include Design and Construction Document Development for the park.
Fiscal Impact
The cost of this contract is $971,000 and is funded in Capital Improvement Project 92399, Gateways.
