RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH URBAN FIELD STUDIO FOR CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
OPTIONS FOR A PUBLIC PLAZA ON CITY PARKING LOT E AND COORDINATION
WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AT 220 PARK ROAD (POST OFFICE SITE),
BURLINGAME
WHEREAS, the City circulated a Request for Proposals (RFP) to five urban design
and landscape design firms to peer review the proposed design concept for a public plaza
that was anticipated to be part of the development project that included Parking Lot E and
the former Post Office site at 220 Park Road; and
WHEREAS, the City received two proposals, and, following interviews, selected
Urban Field Studio for the plaza work; and
WHEREAS, while the previous proposal for the combined development of Lot E and
220 Park Road has become inactive, the City maintains the goal of creating a downtown
square/public plaza as envisioned in the Downtown Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, while any adaptive reuse/development of the former Post Office at 220
Park Road will be proposed separately from the City's potential development of a public
plaza on Parking Lot E, it is in the interest of both initiatives to coordinate the design
development of the projects so that they may be complementary and beneficial to the
Downtown district; and
WHEREAS, the City requested a revised proposal from Urban Field Studio to
provide public outreach, conceptual design options for a public plaza on City Parking Lot
E, and coordination with the proposed development at 220 Park Road (Post Office Site),
and an agreement has been prepared incorporating these tasks in the revised proposal
prepared by Urban Field Studio in the amount of $298,800.00.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND ORDERED:
1. The City Manager is authorized and directed to enter into a Professional Services
