Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Interoffice Memorandum April 6, 2004 TO: Honorable Chair and Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority FROM: James M. Flint Executive Director SUBJ: Recommendation from the Executive Director that the ARRA Governing Body Authorize the Executive Director to Award a 14 -month Contract to Barnes and Company in the Amount of $264,000 for Real Estate Advisory Services at Alameda Point Background On November 13, 2003, Barnes and Company entered into an agreement with ARRA to provide advisory services and serve as interim Project Manager to the Alameda Point Project. This Agreement expires on April 15, 2004. A new agreement to provide professional assistance in support of the conveyance and land planning work at Alameda Point over the next 14 months is attached for ARRA Board consideration. Discussion The proposed new agreement with Barnes and Company runs from April, 2004 through June 30, 2005. Under this new contract, the initial month is a transitional period, in which both Mr. Barnes and Mr. Pflaurn will provide orientation and special support for the new Project Manager. Following that transitional period, the Barnes team will reduce its services as the new Project Manager becomes fully familiarized with the project. Once the intensive Navy negotiation period is near completion, which is anticipated to happen after September 30, 2004, Mr. Pflaum's services are planned to be discontinued from the Barnes team. The Barnes team will work closely with the Alameda Point Project Manager, City staff, and key consultants to develop a plan and strategy for advancing negotiations with the Navy to accomplish a workable conveyance of Alameda Point to the City of Alameda. Barnes will assist with both formulation of strategy and implementation, as well as participate in the creation of an updated land use plan for Alameda Point, consistent with the goals described in the Conditional Acquisition Agreement (CAA) with Alameda Point Community Partners (APCP). Barnes will further support the Project Manager in carrying out his responsibility for managing the 53.5 million Alameda Point budget. Dedicated to Excellence, Committed to Services Honorable Chair and Members of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority Fiscal Impact April 6, 2004 Page 2 The funding source for this agreement, in the amount of $264,000, is the Alameda Point Refunding Bond 2003 (for predcvelopment). Therefore, there is no fiscal impact to the general fund. Recommendation The Executive Director recommends that the ARRA Governing Board authorize the Executive Director to award a 14 -month contract to Barnes and Company in the amount of $264,000 for real estate advisory services at Alameda Point.
