Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution increases the Parks Division Capital Budget for Lake Monona Waterfront Improvements by $12,500 in private project support (this project was previously referred to as Law Park Improvements). The 2018 Adopted Parks Division Capital Budget included $100,000 in private donations to support this project (MUNIS 17362). The Friends of Nolen Waterfront have pledged a private contribution of $112,500 to support the design stipends, with a matching contribution from the City. This increase will result in a total budget of $112,500 in private support in accordance with the Design Challenge fee schedule.
The resolution also authorizes initiation of plan development for the Lake Monona Waterfront, including the release of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a Master Plan Design Challenge. For the Design Challenge, each selected design team will receive a set-fee of $75,000 for master plan development, with a maximum of three (3) teams participating in the competition. A Mayoral-appointed Ad-hoc Committee will review and recommend a preferred master plan option. The Parks Division will negotiate a second POS contract with the respective design team to complete plan revisions per Ad-hoc Committee’s recommendations. The second contract will have a maximum value of $200,000 in accordance with authorized project funding (MUNIS 17362).
Parks Division staff estimates the Lake Monona Master Planning process will require up to 12 months to complete.
