Agency Member Iry Pickler questioned why the fourth lowest bid of Michael
Brandman in the amount of $12,180 was recommended over the lowest bid of the
Planning Center in the amount of $5,800. He asked if the Planning Center did
not have the qualifications to do what was required on the EIR.
Mr. Norman Priest, Executive Director of Community Development, answered that
all five bidders had the qualifications, but Brandman was a firm they believed
had a greater level of expertise locally and in redevelopment, particularly
given the time schedule shown in their proposal. The Planning Center was not
specific on their schedule.
Agency Member Pickler maintained that considering the spread in the bids, it
would be worthwhile to go back out on the bids. He was familiar with the
Planning Center and they were an efficient and good organization; Agency
Member Kaywood stated she is concerned since they were not descriptive enough
in their proposal that there could be a problem and they were on a tight
schedule.
Chairman Roth questioned what would occur if they continued the matter one
week to get the information; Mr. Priest answered that one week would not
critically affect them; however, they would evaluate all five bidders'
proposals, since it would be unfair to go back to only one.
Agency Member Pickler moved to continue action on authorizing the subject
agreement to July 19, 1983, and that staff reevaluate all bids and report back
to the Agency. Councilman Roth seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, additional questions were posed to Mr. Priest by
Agency Members wherein he (Priest) reported that given the fact that Brandman
Associates had been involved with the Hilton and Convention Center projects,
they had an understanding of that kind of development as well as knowledge of
the locality and environment of Anaheim. They felt that expertise was
important on the subject project, because there was some similarity. The
Redevelopment Agency had never done business with Brandman Associates before,
but were aware of the projects they had worked on for the City.
Agency Member Kaywood stated considering the size of the project involved, she
felt it would be cheaper in the long run by staying with Brandman, since the
City had been "burned" before by going to the low bid.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. Agency Member Kaywood voted
"No." MOTION CARRIED.
161.123: LAND DISPOSITION CONSULTING SERVICES - 7/1/83 THROUGH 6/30/84:
Approving an agreement with Keyser Marston Associates, Inc., at a cost not to
exceed $38,000 for land disposition consulting services, for term July 1, 1983
thru June 30, 1984. Submitted was a report dated June 30, 1983, from the
Executive Director of Community Development recommending approval of the
agreement.

July 12, 1983, 9:30 A.M.
Agency Member Bay noted that the increase in cost of service for the subject
contract was 7.46 percent across the board. He did not see any justification
for such an increase and felt it was an "inflation habit." The inflation that
had occurred in the last five years was not occurring this year and it was not
projected for the next year. He could not vote for a 7.46 percent increase.
Mr. Priest stated that the 7.46 percent was a figure given for the Agency's
information. They compared the subject rates with the rates from other firms
and it was found that Keyser Marston's rates were competitive and at the low
end. He did not have the information with him but could provide the Agency
with that comparative data.
Chairman Roth felt it was important to receive that information. He thereupon
moved to continue action on approving the subject agreement to July 19, 1983,
and directed staff to provide information comparing the proposed rates with
other firms. Agency Member Overholt seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Agency Member Pickler stated he would like Mr. Priest
to go back and indicate that they wanted to stay with the 1982 -83 rates and
see what would happen. They had to draw the line at some point.
Agency Member Overholt stated he did not want his silence to Agency Member
Pickler's remarks to indicate agreement. The Agency were not the ones to set .�
the rates and if they could negotiate, that would be fine. The market place
set the rates and they did not have control over that market.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. MOTION CARRIED.
ADJOURNMENT: Agency Member Kaywood moved to adjourn. Agency Member Roth
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (10:21 a.m.)
