Funding Sources FY 2015 CIP #415555: $873,000 Discussion Located at the corner of Main Street and Dodge Avenue, Crown Park and the Robert Crown Community Center and Ice Complex (Crown) deliver a wide range of recreational services. Crown Park provides a variety of outdoor athletic facilities for the entire Evanston community including four tennis courts, two softball fields, and one football field. Constructed in 1975, the 61,000 square foot Crown building contains one large ice skating arena, a small studio-practice rink, one basketball gymnasium, a child care room, and a variety of other multi-purpose rooms. The Robert Crown Center is the most heavily used community center in the City. It is over 40 years old and due to heavy use, age, building (not life safety) code deficiencies and evolving community needs, Crown is in need of either replacement or significant renovation. Additionally, the Library has identified a need to serve west side residents with a flexible library learning space. In order to pool resources and develop synergy within the City, the Parks Recreation and Community Services Department and Library have partnered to either renovate or reconstruct Crown to meet these demands. 4 of 50 Over the past several years, staff working in concert with a steering committee, has explored a variety of mechanisms to secure funding for renovation or reconstruction including grant opportunities and public / private partnership ventures. These explorations have revealed that private fundraising, in conjunction with public investment, will likely yield successful results for a new or substantially renovated facility. As staff expertise in fundraising and development services are not available, the City issued a Request for Proposal for these services on March 12, 2015. On April 8, 2015, the Purchasing Division received proposals from two qualified professional consulting firms as noted below: Consultant Address Community Counselling 155 North Wacker, Suite 1790, Chicago, Illinois Services Co., Llc (CCS) 60606 Ter Molen Watkins & Brandt 2 North Riverside Plaza, Suite 1030, Chicago, Illinois Llc. 60606 A committee was developed to review and evaluate the proposals consisting of the following members: Martin Lyons/Administrative Services, Joe McRae/PRCS, Karen Danczak Lyons/Library, Bob Dorneker/PRCS, Wynn Shawver/Library, Stefanie Levine/Public Works and Melissa Parker/PRCS. Each committee member individually reviewed the proposals based on: 1. Qualifications and Expertise 2. Price 3. Organization and Completeness of Proposal 4. Willingness to Execute City Agreement 5. M/W/EBE Participation Following proposal review, the committee met to discuss the submissions and agreed to interview both candidate firms. After the interviews, the committee met again to discuss and score the consultants and determine which firm to recommend for award. A scoring breakdown of the two firms follows: Qualifications Proposal Willingness to Proposed & Expertise Price Organization Execute M/W/EBE Consultant (30) (30) (15) Agreement (15) (10) Total (100) CCS 30 27 15 15 0 87 Ter Molen 26 23 14 15 3 81 The City’s RFP indicated that the selected consultant would immediately begin a comprehensive fundraising campaign for the project. However, both consultant responses strongly recommended that the City first perform a feasibility study to better determine the donor pool, cultivate potential community leaders and prepare the City for the campaign. Both consultant teams indicated that the feasibility study was vital to the campaign’s success, particularly due to the City’s current lack of established donor 5 of 50 base. After extensive deliberation, the review committee agrees that this strategy is critical to the project’s success and will afford the City an opportunity to gauge community feedback, enhance the donor pool and strategically define the renovation or reconstruction scope in advance of the actual campaign. A breakdown of both consultant firm fees follows: Consultant Miscellaneous Feasibility Capital Cost per Cost Study Campaign interview during Feasibility Study CCS $6,500 $75,000 $396,000 $1,000 Ter Molen At cost $60,000 $225,000 $1,714 At first glance, costs for CCS appear significantly higher than Ter Molen. However, in actuality CCS’s proposal offers substantially more in services than the Ter Molen proposal which the committee feels are vital to project execution.
