The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Property Use and Feasibility Study for the former River View Middle School property at 101 Oak Street. The intent of the request was to evaluate current facilities, potential future uses of the building and site, and to provide the city with information necessary to make informed decisions regarding next steps. Multiple proposals were received and reviewed by staff. Each proposal was evaluated based on the RFP criteria, including technical approach, understanding of the project, relevant experience, and ability to meet the City’s current needs. The staff review helped lead to the City’s current objective: understanding how the building can be used in its existing state, without committing at this time to a remodel, expansion, or major capital investment. The recommendation from the January 19th Finance & Personnel meeting was to move forward with Hoffman Planning and Design. It was just announced that Hoffman was acquired by Keller; however, staff is still confident with moving forward with Hoffman. Motion by Thiele, seconded by Moore to authorize the Mayor and Director of Public Works to enter into an agreement with Hoffman Planning, Design & Construction to perform the River View Middle School Property Use and Feasibility Study along with any Environmental Studies as needed.
