AGENDA STATEMENT

Item No. 6.H.
For Meeting of: April 16, 2019

ITEM TITLE:Resolution awarding Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 11903Q and authorizing an agreement with ALSC Architects, to develop a design for Yakima Convention Center north expansion
SUBMITTED BY:

Maria Mayhue, Senior Buyer, Purchasing

On Behalf of Yakima Convention Center

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
This Agreement includes all architectural design, engineering, bid and construction administration professional services required as a component of the $12.5 million north expansion of the Yakima Convention Center. The cost of this phase of the project is not to exceed $1,206,375.

As discussed during 2019 budget planning, the expansion will be funded by new debt to be issued. Debt service will commence in 2020 following the 2019 final payoff of 2004 General Obligation debt.  2007 General Obligation debt continues to be repaid through 2027, so a combination of PFD and Lodging Tax revenues continue to provide project funding completely separate from General Fund. 

A feasibility study was prepared by KDF (now KDA) Architecture on 7/13/18. On November 6, 2018, Council approved the Yakima Convention Center Capital Facility Plan 2019-2022, including the north expansion as proposed.
