HomeMy WebLinkAboutCAP 2009-04-27 Item 2C - Contract Amendment - Commercial Development Solutions (Lisa Verner)TO:
FROM: Rhonda Berry, City Administrator
DATE: April 6, 2009
SUBJECT: Contract Amendment for Commercial Development Solutions (CDS) <Lisa Verner>
ISSUE:
Professional Services Contract with Commercial Development Solutions (CDS) will expire on
June 30, 2009.
BACKGROUND
The City entered into a contract with Lisa Verner in 2006 to serve as Project Manager for the
Tukwila South project. Though we now have agreement on "deal points," staff continues to
finalize work on getting a Development Agreement ready for Council approval. Once the
Development Agreement is approved, additional assistance will be needed to coordinate the
annexation and other tasks related to the project. Additionally, it is helpful to have one focal
person to serve a liaison role with the property owner.
It is anticipated that approval of the Development Agreement can be accomplished within the
first half of 2009, and annexation can be accomplished within the second half of 2009.
DISCUSSION
CDS was hired because there was no staff person available to dedicate solely to the Tukwila
South project. The comprehensive institutional knowledge of all aspects of the project resides
with Lisa Verner. Transferring these responsibilities to someone else at this point would be
extremely unproductive and would probably prolong the amount of time necessary to
accomplish tasks critical to beginning construction of the Southcenter Parkway extension.
RECOMMENDATION
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
The Council is being asked to approve the contract amendment and consider this item at the
May 11, 2009 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent May 18, 2009 Regular Meeting.
