SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
In the 2017 budget the Board of Trustees approved $200,000 in the Parks Improvement Impact Fund budget to complete the site plan and construction documents for the final phase of Erie Community Park. In order to complete this and other identified master planning tasks, on January 16, 2017 staff issued a request for qualifications for landscape architectural firms. Proposals were accepted through February 3, 2017 with fifteen firms submitting proposals. The following five firms were chosen to interview with Town staff:
• Design Concepts
• Dig Studio
• Robert Peccia & Associates
• Wenk Associates
• DHM Design
The interview process was conducted by members of Town staff from the Community Development, Engineering, Administration, and Parks & Recreation Departments.
After the interview process two firms were requested to submit proposals for designing the final phase of Erie Community Park. Upon review of the submittals, staff identified Design Concepts as most qualified to complete this project. Design Concepts was the firm used in 2008 for the original master planning and design process and having them complete this final phase will bring continuity and cohesion to the entire Erie Community Parks and the Ballpark at Erie.
