BACKGROUND Addressing the need for the two additional courts is a listed priority in the current City Council Work Plan. Funds were budgeted in the Capital Improvement Program budget to begin work on this priority - Pleasanton Tennis and Community Park - Two Additional Courts, CIP No. 147031. In January 2016 an RFQ was advertised seeking a landscape architectural firm qualified to design and prepare biddable construction documents for the two additional lighted courts at the Tennis and Community Park, which is located on the southwest side of the intersection of Hopyard and Valley. In response to the RFQ, four landscape architectural firms (along with their assembled subconsultant teams) submitted their Statement of Qualifications (SOQs). DISCUSSION On February 24, 2016, the consultant selection committee interviewed the two firms and chose CALA as the most qualified to assist the City with the project. CALA has been involved in the design and construction or renovation of more than a dozen tennis courts, and was also the firm that designed the recently completed tennis courts at Owens Plaza Park as part of the Iron Horse Trail improvements. CALA has been in business in the Bay Area for more than 40 years and has a very well qualified and experienced electrical engineering firm on their team, Zeiger Engineers, to design the lighting. The selection committee believes this knowledge will help ensure a successful project that meets the construction deadlines that the City has set. Under the terms of the negotiated scope of work and fee, CALA will evaluate the topographic survey provided by the City, review all available as-built records, and verify them with the field conditions. They will analyze how to best fit the proposed courts with the existing grades and improvements and how to connect to the electrical system. Their final design will also incorporate City standards as well as stormwater and water efficient irrigation requirements. With this information they will prepare design development drawings and estimates to procure City and concessionaire feedback. Upon feedback they will fold comments into construction documents and bid documents.
