FACILITIES COMMITTEE
SPECIAL MEETING
MAY 1, 1997
A meeting of the Facilities Committee was held at 5:15 p.m., May 1,
1997, at the Parks & Recreation office located inside the
Fayetteville Youth Center at 915 California, Fayetteville, Arkansas
72701.
PRAB Members Present: James, Bleidt, King, Waite, Staggs
Staff Present: Clark, Dugwyler, Orzek, Nelson
Chairman James briefed new members on the concept of a trail
encircling Lake Fayetteville and the varying degrees of success we
have had. Efforts have been fairly consistent over the past few
years. Tim Ernst and Wade Colwell in the past completed a rough
diagram of how the trail should look. Clark and Dugwyler sent
proposals to several firms. The purpose of this meeting is to
review a proposal from a Tulsa, Oklahoma firm and make a
recommendation to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board at the
May 5 regular meeting. Landplan Consultants Inc. submitted a
conceptual design proposal for the Lake Fayetteville Trail Project.
Services would include an inventory of the site, photographs,
preparation of a base map, preparation for public meetings,
preparation of conceptual alternatives, cost estimates,
determinations of phases, and various other services at an
estimated expense of $30,071.70. Dugwyler said after meeting with
the Purchasing Manager and city engineer it was determined that the
proposed fee was not unreasonable. However, the Facilities
Committee felt a negotiation of proposed fees should be done with
Landplan. There were also questions raised about different interest
groups and their concerns. Dugwyler said this particular firm had
worked on many trails, and they were sensitive to different groups'
wants and needs. They would bring these groups together and discuss
alternatives. Once complete, the trail would get high traffic. We
need to keep in mind maintenance once the trail is completed, and
this firm would help.
The Facilities Committee recommended a negotiating committee be
appointed and set a special meeting with Landplan Consultants to
discuss quoted prices.
Meeting adjourned at 5:50 p.m.

FACILITIES COMMITTEE
SPECIAL MEETING
MAY 12, 1997
A meeting of the Facilities Committee was held at 5:30 p.m., May
12, 1997, at the Parks & Recreation office located inside the
Fayetteville Youth Center at 915 California, Fayetteville, Arkansas
72701.
PRAB Members Present: James, King, Thiel, Staggs, Bleidt
Staff Present: Clark, Dugwyler, Orzek, Nelson, Perkins
Guests Present: Keith Franklin, LandPlan Consultants
The subcommittee reviewed the proposal from LandPlan and discussed
whether there were possible ways to offset costs. Mr. Franklin gave
a presentation which provided background on the Tulsa firm as well
as projects completed for other cities. LandPlan has thirteen years
of site planning and landscape architecture experience. Franklin
said the contract, if accepted, was written as a not -to -exceed
amount. The overall costs are estimations based on prior works
completed. There is always the possibility that estimated hours may
come in less than projected. Franklin estimated a time frame of
three months. •

LandPlan Consultant's proposal for Lake Fayetteville Trail
Conceptual Design for the amount not to exceed $30,071.70.
