Council Proceedings
May 21, 2018/ Page 4
City Manager Dzugan stated that as a result of recent Phase 2 schematic design work, Primera has advised
the City that some reconstruction of areas completed as part of Phase 1 will need to occur as part of Phase
2. He stated staff reached out to Primera asking for a proposal that would provide survey and schematic
design through Phases 3 and 4 where potential for future conflict exists. Primera expects completing this
work now will significantly minimize areas that might need to be reconstructed in future phases. He added
this is not additional work; this work would be necessary for later phases. The cost of this work is $51,360.
In response to Council questions, City Manager Dzugan stated the design of the Phase 2 street segments are
not yet final. At the July 9, 2018 Planning Session, Primera will present their drawings at “Design
Development.” He stated beyond that date, it would be challenging to make changes. Councilman Barbier
commented that it was prudent to look at the streetscape project as one large project for this purpose.

services at a cost of $78,939.46.

years. Due to technology changes and to ensure the continuous availability of data using redundant
methods, the City must replace its on-premise VMWare hosts and storage. He stated that this change will
allow for expansion or upgrades/updates via nodes being added on.

the future goal is to house the back up data in the cloud.
