ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Contracts with JLG, Confluence, HKGi, and JQP, Inc. for 2023 Parks Referendum Projects
STAFF CONTACT: DEPARTMENT/DIVISION:
Eric Carlson, Director Parks and Recreation Department
Action Requested
Consider Approval of Multiple Contracts for 2023 Parks Referendum Projects
Summary
Staff have received proposals from JLG, Confluence, HKGi, and JQP, Inc., for the following 2023
Parks Referendum Projects:
- Apple Valley Community Center and Senior Center (JLG)
- Apple Valley Family Aquatic Center (JLG)
- Kelley Park (Confluence)
- Redwood Park (Confluence)
- Neighborhood Park & Playground Replacement Planning (HKGi)
- Accessibility Consulting Services (JQP, Inc.)
Staff are looking for the Committee’s approval to enter into these contracts before staff bring them
to the City Council for official approval.
Background
Staff hired JLG and Confluence at the beginning of the referendum process to perform facility master
planning (JLG) and parks master planning (Confluence) as well as design the sign master plan
(Confluence). As these firms are so familiar with these projects and our visions, it seems to be a
natural fit to hire them to do the design work for the respective projects listed above.
HKGi specializes in planning, landscape architecture, and urban design. Staff would like to hire their
firm to gather data on park amenities in Apple Valley and create a plan for the future of amenities
across our park system.
JQP, Inc. is an accessibility consulting service that staff would like to hire to ensure that all projects
in this referendum are keeping accessibility requirements in mind to allow us to meet (and exceed
where possible) all ADA requirements.
The proposals included in this packet are all in draft form.Staff expect to make minor changes after
the City attorney’s review, but most of the details in the proposals will likely stay as they are. Once
approval is received from the Committee, staff will bring these contracts to the City Council in
December for their approval. Please note that staff will be bringing more proposals to the Committee
for approval in the near future for a construction manager, soil borings/surveying, the youth
baseball/softball complex, and Hayes Arena.

Park. The only space available for the complex is on the grounds of Westview Elementary, which is
adjacent to the Community Center. The City will be preparing a Joint Powers Agreement with ISD
196 for the construction, maintenance, and use of the complex in the near future, but this agreement

testing and surveying in preparation for the new complex.

the P discretion, the entry would be disruptive to the school.
2. Waiver of Trespass. Owner hereby waives all actions, claims and cause of action
against the City, its agents, servants, representatives and contractors for entry and
trespass upon the Property.
3. Indemnity. The City shall indemnify, defend and hold the Owner harmless from

of bodily injury or death sustained by any person, or property damage (excluding
harm/damage to the extent caused by Owners fault) arising out of or incident to
the Citys activities on the Property pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding
any provision herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall be construed to waive
the Citys liability limits under Minnesota statutes or any other law.
4. OwnerRepresentation. Owner represents and warrants that it has fee title to the
Property and has good right and title to grant this Right of Entry and Waiver of
Trespass to the City.
5. . The City represents that it will minimize the disturbance
to the land in the performance of its work and that it will restore any disturbed
portions of the property to an equal or better condition.
