ATTEST: CITY ECR T RY YO THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS APPROVED: & DAY OF OCTOBER, 1968: ,"/ t CITY ATT RNE 15 October 68 The Mayor and City Council, City of Corpus Christi, Texas GENTLEMEN, the associated firms of Swanson Hiester Wilson Boland of Corpus Christi and Caudill Rowlett Scott of Houston (SHWB /CRS) appreciate the opportunity to submit the follow- ing proposal covering planning services for a CONVENTION FACILITIES STUDY for the City of Corpus Christi (the City): I . SHWB /CRS would coordinate all work with the City Manager, Director of Public Works, other City department heads, other governmental agencies; and work closely with civic as well as convention groups to determine the project requirements. 2. SHWB /CRS would assist the City in determining and programming the need for convention facilities by: a. Establishing the basic goals b. Surveying certain desirable and potential users c. Studying similar facilities elsewhere d. Interviewing agencies of the City and other appropriate interests e. Developing a basic space program. 3. SHWB/CRS would analyze site and adjacent areas relating to City and private develop- ment programs, which would include: a. Testing the compatabiIity of varied convention center functions b. Review of traffic survey data, including seasonal influx c. Study of utility and topographic implications d. Review of previous studies affecting convention facilities e. Consideration of the shoreline and water- oriented facilities as related to the site and convention facilities. 4. SHWB /CRS would develop a Convention Facilities Plan, which would: a. Establish and recommend the project scope b. Demonstrate and define relationships with (1) the civic center (2) central business district (3) waterfront (4) traffic and circulation patterns (5) open spaces -2- Include a design study to illustrate the design concept of the facilities as necessary to determine (1) estimated cost of construction (2) location of buildings on the site (3) architectural character (4) schematic diagrams of floor plans to determine functional requirements. 5. SHWB /CRS would provide a printed report of all findings related to the CONVENTION FACILITIES STUDY. This Report would include: a. Research and programming data b. The master plan and design study _ c. Recommendations pertaining to possible phasing of construction d. Alternative solutions e. Economic projections relating to potential convention business. The performance of these services would commence upon notification to proceed and will be completed on or about the 90th day after the date of authorization to proceed. SHWB /CRS would make iterim presentations of the Study in such a manner as to inform the City of back- ground and recommendations prior to finalizing the report. A final presentation would be made on completion of the Study. SHWB /CRS propose to furnish the services described herein for a lump sum fee of $38,800.00 to be payable in three equal installments, with final payment due upon presentation of the final report. These services in no way obligate the City to retain SHWB /CRS as architects for the design of the particular buildings. However, in the event that the City proceeds with the project, and SHWB /CRS are subsequently contracted to provide architectural- engineering ser- vices, SHWB /CRS would agree to credit that portion of the above fee which would constitute duplication of service. The amount of the credit would be determined at the time a definitive building program is authorized. The fee includes all costs for providing the Study, including 100 copies of the printed report. The fee does not include the cost of finished models or other presentation material that may be required for public information programs relating to bond issue promotion. Such material would be provided, however.,, at cost, upon the request of the City. The City would be requested to provide necessary information pertaining to the project, such as sub -soil information, site surveys, utility data, legal services pertaining to the project, and would accordingly, pay the cost of such services. We look forward to a review of this proposal with representatives of the City of Corpus Christi. SWANS O y . IESTER.. LSON BOLAND CAUDI L ROWLETT SCOTT VV !, A D . Wilson AI Partner Thomas .
