TITLE
Recommendation to adopt Specifications No. RFP PW17-059 and award contracts to Alta Planning + Design, of Los Angeles, CA; City Fabrick of Long Beach, CA; Environ Architecture, Inc., of Long Beach, CA; Gruen Associates, of Los Angeles, CA; Here LA, of Los Angeles, CA; Kamus Keller, Inc., of Long Beach, CA; Kluger Architects, Inc., of Signal Hill, CA; NUVIS of Costa Mesa, CA; Studio 111 of Long Beach, CA; Urban Arena, LLC, of Costa Mesa, CA; and Westgroup Designs, of Irvine, CA; for as-needed urban planning design services, for a period of two years, with the option to renew for three additional one-year periods, in an aggregate amount of $15,000,000 for the entire term; and authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to enter into the contract, including any necessary amendments, at the discretion of the City Manager. (Citywide)

DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested to enter into contracts with 11 professional firms for providing as-needed urban planning design services.

As the City continues to incorporate livability in its planning and design efforts, innovative approaches are necessary for increasing walkability, bikeability, swimability, and promoting other healthy and active options through urban design implementation. These approaches include active transportation; complete streets, parks, and open space development; sustainable growth; community development; and, crime prevention through environmental design, architecture, and urban planning design services. The as-needed urban planning design services will be required for a wide range of capital projects and planning efforts, from feasibility studies to full design services.

A Request for Proposals (RFP) was advertised in the Long Beach Press-Telegram on March 8, 2017, and 4,759 potential firms specializing in urban planning design services were notified of the RFP opportunity. Of those firms, 143 downloaded the RFP via the City’s electronic bid system. ...
