Kelly, City Manager By: Linda Garcia, Communica ions, arketing and Special Projects Manager SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT—website services. Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement in the amount of $51,828.00 with Vision Internet Providers, Inc. for website design, creation, programming, maintenance and hosting services SUMMARY The City's 2002-2003 Operating Budget includes a project to re-design the City website and change to a hosting and maintenance environment .that allows for a more comprehensive, timely and dynamic site. Staff has undergone a process to select a firm to handle this work and recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Vision Internet Providers, Inc. for various services related to development of a new City website. BACKGROUND The City's 2002-2003 Operating Budget includes a project to re-design the City website and change to a hosting and maintenance environment that allows for a more comprehensive, timely and dynamic website. The specific goals for this project are: 1. To update the website with a more contemporary design and increased use of graphics. 2. To increase the amount of information available on the website. 3. To improve the user-friendliness of the website and to include a site search capability. 4. To provide training to selected staff such that they are able to add, modify and/or remove information in a fashion consistent with the overall site design. Simply stated, the intent is to make the site easy to find, easy to read, up-to-date and useful. Some of the features we plan to incorporate into the new website include a "what's new" section, frequently asked questions section, expanded calendar, City Council meeting and Commission meeting minutes, enhanced departmental features, department-specific e-mail, press releases, "download central," City Directory, a links page to City-approved organizations and eventually interactive features and a link to the LASER IMAGED Is trI1v Mayor and City Council —website December 3, 2002 Page 2 Arcadia Municipal Code. This project will change the way the City handles the website. With the new website, City Departments will be responsible for creating and maintaining their own pages and will have the ability to instantaneously place and change information on the site. In addition, the new hosting environment will be able to handle a "dynamic" site versus the current "static" site, which is a more efficient way to handle changes/updates and to install graphics. (As a point of reference, a static website is a collection of individual pages each of which have been built separately and uploaded to the web. To amend a page on a static site, the entire page has to be edited by the web designer. Adding new content requires creating a new, separate page. Any changes in the structure have to be propagated on every page manually. With a dynamic website, templates are created to present information, but all of the contents are held in a database. When revising information, only the database needs to be updated. New content is inserted into an already built structure template making additions very easy. Changes in the structure require updating only the template.) Please note, for the time being the Police Department will continue to maintain its own • website to which the City will link. DISCUSSION Staff began the process of selecting a consultant to assist with this project by distributing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to a.number of firms specializing in website services. Fifteen (15) companies responded to the RFP and after a review and evaluation of their proposals, seven (7) firms were invited to make an oral presentation to a committee consisting of representatives from most City departments and Information Systems staff. After discussing and evaluating the presentations.. and proposals, and further discussions with the top two companies to clarify some of the information they presented, the website committee is recommending that the. City retain Vision Internet Providers, Inc. (Vision) of Santa Monica to assist in creating a new Arcadia website. Vision was selected for a number of reasons including cost, the flexibility offered by their content management system, their compatibility with other content management systems and the hardware currently owned by the City, their extensive warranty, high • bandwidth and positive references. (Vision's client list includes the cities of Diamond Bar and Monterey Park, who both have new websites in progress, the City of Santa Monica Big Blue Bus, City of Santa Monica Convention and Visitor's Bureau, Los Angeles Opera-Placido Domingo, United Airlines and Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier. As part of the referenced Professional Services Agreement, Vision will provide the following services to the City: . Mayor and City Council - website • December 3, 2002 Page 3 Graphic Design Through a detailed needs assessment and design process, Vision will develop a new dynamic website that combines graphic design with functionality and minimal static content. The design of the new site will reflect Arcadia's unique city environment while providing for logical, streamlined navigation. Four "holiday theme" changes throughout the year are included. Site Layout The layout component of the project encompasses general consulting relative to the new website, meetings with City staff, a detailed survey, creation of the site map, home page layout, site architecture and static programming. Two machine-readable cd's Data Dictionary Content Management System The content management system is the system by which information is placed on the website, removed and/or modified. It simplifies the process of managing information so that multiple users across several departments can maintain information that is coordinated with the rest of the website and standardized in appearance. The system incorporates the use of passwords for staff entering or removing information and passwords for a series of approvals that may or may not be necessary prior to the information actually posting on the site. Maintenance Vision provides 3 hours of maintenance per month for the first 3 months at no charge. Thereafter the fee is $95.00 per hour. The City will pay only for the time used. Tracking System A Web Trends tracking system will be provided to determine the number of visitors and the most frequently visited pages. Hosting Vision has agreed to host the City's website for free for the first 12 months. After the first year, the fee will be $250.00 per month. Staff Training Vision will provide 16 hours of training to City staff to teach them to post, remove and design information for the website that is consistent with the overall site design. Storage Space Vision will provide the City with 500MB of storage. . s Mayor and City Council -website December 3, 2002 Page 4 Bandwidth Burstable T3 Warranty . For the period of one year, all repairs due to faulty codes or bugs on the website will be performed at no fee. Troubleshooting of same is also included at no charge. All programming codes have a warranty of one-year from the date of the final launch. Vision Internet Providers will create a back-up website when it is launched so that if a problem arises (irrespective of whether the City or Vision is hosting the site) it will be able to be restored back to the original launch. Staff is recommending that the City .Council authorize an expenditure of up to $51,828.00 which will cover the above referenced work plus 12 hours of maintenance, which may or may not be needed. FISCAL IMPACT The 2002-2003 operating budget contains an allocation of $35,000.00 for this project. The scope of work for this Professional Services Agreement is "up to" $51,828.00. Of this amount, $50,688.00 is a one-time cost. The remaining $1,140.00 is for maintenance that may or may not be needed. (The monthly hosting fee does not go into effect until the thirteenth [13th] month.) Payment to Vision is due at various intervals. The City will pay Vision $35,000.00 in the 2002-2003 fiscal year. The remaining amount will be budgeted for and paid from the 2003-2004 fiscal year operating budget. RECOMMENDATION Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement in the amount of $51,828.00 with Vision Internet Providers, Inc. for website design, creation, programming, maintenance and hosting services.

Police Facility The Agency issued $21 million in Tax Allocation bonds in 2001. $2 million from the bond proceeds was added to the previous $2 million already transferred from the Agency to the City for a total of$4 million for the Police Facility. (In addition, the Agency repaid a $4 million Capital Outlay loan from the City also using bond proceeds. These funds were applied by the City to pay part of the $16 million cost of the Police Facility). The facility is currently under construction and will open in summer 2003. • 2. South Arcadia Project Area (Amendment No. 5) The Agency and City prepared the necessary reports and documents and held the required meetings and hearings throughout 2000 and 2001 to amend the Central Redevelopment Project Area Plan. The City adopted Ordinance 2145 on July 17, 2001 amending the Central Redevelopment Project Area Plan and boundaries to add most of the South Arcadia commercial district. However, Los Angeles County filed suit to stop this and Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Bendix ruled in favor of the Los Angeles County on October 7, 2002. The City Council has determined it will not appeal the decision nor re-process the amendment. The total cost of the Amendment including legal fees is approximately $225,000. 3. Downtown 2000 Comprehensive Revitalization Program — Phase II: • Downtown 2000 Business Incentive Program a. Commercial Façade Rehabilitation Program (CFRP) — 1999-2002 - The Agency has approved twelve (12) applications for a total of $238,000. Three (3) more applications are pending for an estimated cost of $56,000. Because AB 975, effective January 1, 2002 requires the payment of prevailing wages" by CFRP applicants,, it is doubtful many downtown property owners or merchants will take advantage of this program in the future. b. Business Attraction and Expansion - The Agency assisted one (1) business to remain in the downtown (Pok-A-Dots - $15,000). c. Marketing - The Agency, in cooperation with the City of Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, the .City of Monrovia and its Chamber of Commerce, attempted to establish a joint organization to market the hotel/restaurant row on East Huntington Drive. The Agency has purchased a web page address "Huntington, • Attachment 2 ' Crossing.com" for two (2) years which has since been transferred to Monrovia. The Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, as part of its 2002-03 work program with the City, will re-explore the possibility of reinstituting this marketing effort for our joint hotel/restaurant row. A Business Fact Book was prepared and disseminated in 2000 and 2001. An updated Marketing Brochure was prepared and distributed in 2001. The Lease Rate Survey of commercial and industrial for sale and for lease buildings and properties has been produced twice a year and disseminated'to brokers, interested parties, etc. It has been very helpful in providing leads to interested parties on available space and "comparable" lease rates. The decorative banners have been installed on the downtown decorative light poles four (4) times a year. Information on the City and Agency has been placed on the City's Web page and is updated periodically. The Agency/City and Arcadia Chamber of Commerce placed a marketing ad in L.A. Magazine in 2001. - - d. Pedestrian Accessway— With the construction of the Haas Accounting building where the former Arcade building was at 38 E. Huntington Drive, there is no longer the possibility of a pedestrian accessway to the alley as there is on the north side of Huntington Drive. The Agency has previously obtained a permanent easement for. public access in the mid block between Santa Anita - Avenue and First Avenue (north side) and a public,accessway during business hours across Matt Denny's patio. e. Directional Signage The Agency installed the "Route 66" signs along Huntington but has discontinued efforts to install historical plaques in other parts of the downtown. f., Technical Assistance — The Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, pursuant to their annual contract with the City and Agency, are required to provide- four (4) meetings for downtown and for City merchants in order to assist them increase their sales and improve their business. Such speakers include representatives from: SBA, SCORE, Community Colleges, legislators, SBOE, business consultants, Los Angeles County EDC, RBAN, etc. The Arcadia Chamber of Commerce has conducted 6-8 seminars/meetings annually on various business topics at various times (during the day and evening) and venues in the City.' g. Cooperative Packing Program— This program is intended to encourage the use of shared parking ' downtown by providing incentives in the CBD zoning ordinance and the CFRP program. No progress to report. h. Land Use and Design Review— The City at the request of the Agency adopted Architectural Design Guidelines (Central Business District) and Use Restrictions (Resolution ARA 172) for the downtown. At the request of the Arcadia Business Association (ABA), the City also revised the zoning ordinance to require retail only uses in the front one-third (1/3) of most buildings along Huntington Drive and First Avenue:. This has since been revised to apply only to First Avenue in downtown. . 2 4. Northside Project • The remaining property to be developed, Parcel D (Kiewit — west) under the 1986 DDA, was sold to and developed by a joint venture of Hart Morris Meras Peale (Gary Morris) a Pasadena law firm, and the Church of the Nazarene (Don Hughes). Two 22,000 sq. ft. office buildings opened in 2001, completing the Northside Project. 5. Former Foulger Ford Site A Request for Proposals was circulated to commercial developers. Six (6) proposals were received, two emerged as finalists (Watt Commercial and J. H. Snyder). Both proposed mixed-use commercial retail/office and high end residential on the eleven (11) acre triangle. Just prior to selection of a finalist, Paul Rusnak, a car dealer from Pasadena, purchased the four (4) acre Foulger Ford property. Mr. Rusnak has been working for over two (2) years with the Agency to expand his used car dealership to the east, but to date there is no agreement. Mr. Rusnak recently brought his new car Mercedes Benz dealership to the site. 6. Santa Anita Entry Corridor This project includes the addition of street improvements to commence such as decorative lights, landscaping and furniture along Santa Anita Avenue from the 210 Freeway to Huntington Drive to improve the image and appearance of the Project Area. The project has. been expanded to include the Cal Trans right-of-way on Santa Anita at the 210 Freeway. Work is underway on the design of the project, which is estimated to cost $50,000. Construction (estimated at $400,00) is anticipated in 2003 after completion of the 20A Underground District 14 Project on Santa Anita Avenue and Santa Clara Street. 7. Fifth Avenue Project The Agency adopted a DDA with Waken Development in 2000. The Agency relocated twenty-one (21) households and removed twenty-three (23) housing units (eleven (11) very low income, eight (8) low income and four (4) moderate income — cost $400,000). Mr. Hale and Waken Development acquired the remaining properties at their cost and have constructed two (2) new office buildings and rehabilitated a third office building on the 4-acre site. The northernmost 30,000 sq. ft. building at 488 E. Santa Clara Street is 70% occupied. The 45,000 sq. ft. building at 51 N. Fifth Avenue is almost completed. The small existing building at 9 North Fifth Avenue has been rehabilitated and is occupied. The Agency is reimbursing the developer $1,125,000 as progress payments. To date, the Agency has paid out $1,057,000. 8. Transit Center and Commercial Project This site and project was revised by Amendment No. 1 to the Implementation Plan, dated June 6, 2000. Working with The Hale Corporation and Waken Development 3 the Agency sold 21,000 sq. ft. of land for development of a 20,000 sq. ft. 2-story office building on a 50,000 sq. ft triangular parcel. The net cost to the Agency was approximately $16,000. The 2-story brick façade building opened in early 2001. The City is working with the MTA, the Gold Line Authority, and SGVCOG on the proposed extension of the Gold Line from Sierra Madre Villa in Pasadena through Arcadia to Claremont. The proposed station location is on First Avenue between St. Joseph Street and Santa Clara Street. 9. Opportunity Sites a. REI — North Pad — Sports Management Company is proposing to construct a 10,400 sq. ft. 2-story office/practice facility on this site. Construction is anticipated to be complete by fall 2003. b. Santa Anita Inn — A developer has submitted conceptual plans for a 278-unit high-end active senior living facility of 4-5 stories over subterranean parking. c. Former American Savings Bank The building was purchased, remodeled and re-opened'in 2000 by Foothill Federal Credit Union. d. Meyer Property (Arroyo Restaurant/Citizens Business Bank) —The property was previously listed for sale in 2000. Staff is not aware of any change in status. e. A&A Building/Arroyo Plumbing — This is part of a possible expanded Mass Transit Station. No change in status. 10. Agency Capital Improvement Program (CIP) This project was amended into the Implementation Plan by Amendment No. 1, June 6, 2000. Historical Museum — The Agency contributed $100,000 to the 4000 sq. ft. Gilb Historical Museum. Several CIP projects have been completed in the period 1999-2002. COST • Second/Huntington Railroad Bridge Safety Lights $ 12,000 • Sidewalk Improvements — Colorado Place $ 12,000 • Planters improvements, so. side Huntington, mid block $ 17,000 • Traffic Signal Upgrade, Santa Anita/Santa Clara $ 73,000 • Traffic Signal Upgrade, Huntington/Second $ 33,000 • Traffic Signal Upgrade, Huntington/Santa Anita $ 46,500 • Traffic Signal Upgrade, First/Santa Clara $139,000 TOTAL $332,500 • 4 Currently under construction: • Underground District 14 (Rule 20A), Additional lights on Santa Clara Street $ 30,000 • St. Joseph Street/Front Street improvements $165,000 TOTAL $195,000 Currently in design: BUDGET • Traffic Signal New, First/Santa Clara $ 139,000 • Traffic Signal Upgrade, Colorado/Colorado Place $ 50,000 • Traffic Signal Upgrade, Colorado/Santa Anita . $ 80,000 • Huntington Drive Median, Santa Anita to Santa Clara . $ 60,000 • Alta St. Parking Lot Lights $ 20,000 TOTAL $349,000 The projects below are now being paid for by Los Angeles County, not the Agency: • Traffic Signal Upgrade, Huntington/Second $ 50,000 • Traffic Signal Upgrade, Colorado/Huntington ,$ 50,000 11. Administrative Operations — The Agency-annually funds two (2) full-time positions to implement the adopted Redevelopment Plan and Housing Program. It also assists in funding the department head (60%), the department Senior Administrative Assistant (40%), and paying the division's share of the "General Fund Reimbursement." (FY 2003 - $505,000) Repay City Loan — The Agency repaid the remaining balance owed by the City ($3.82 million) out of the tax-exempt portion of the 2001, bond issue. Repay 1989 Tax Allocation Bond (TAB) Issue — The Agency defeased the $3.8 million 1989 TAB issue as part of the 2001 bond issue. HOUSING PROGRAMS 1. Affordable Senior Housing Program — 55 units (approximately 18 each — very low, low, moderate income) . Agency staff have met with several senior housing developers over the last three " (3) years on various sites in the City: Alta Street, NEC Huntington/Sunset; Baldwin —west side by KFC; southwest corner Live Oak/Welland; NEC Genoa/First; church parking lot 100 block of Alice; West Duarte southside of City border; former Mounted Police site; Marketowne site, Westerner Hotel; Santa Anita Inn. 5 Pursuant to Agency direction, the Agency requested proposals from three (3). developers on three (3) separate sites that emerged as offering the best opportunity for development. After review of the submittals and discussions, with the developers, the Agency authorized staff to negotiate an agreement with American. Senior Living ("ASL") for a fifty-four (54) unit 3-story senior building (20% affordable) on the Marketowne site on Las Tunas Drive. The Agency authorized: staff to work with a housing consultant on refining the financial assistance requested of the Agency for both the ASL proposal, and that submitted by Meta Housing — one hundred nine (109) units (20% affordable) on the Westerner site. These negotiations are currently underway under the constraints imposed by AB 975— Prevailing Wage, and AB 637 — Proportionality. The Agency/City discussed the possibility of a Habitat for Humanity housing development on the Mounted Police site, and has directed staff to solicit proposals for a non-senior affordable housing development on this location. Habitat will be allowed to submit a proposal. 2. Replacement Housing The Agency is required to replace the twenty-three (23) units removed as part of the Fifth Avenue Office Project (Hale/Waken) within four (4) years, i.e., by September 30, 2005: Because of the passage of AB 637 we are required to replace 100% (vs. 75%) of the units at the same income level as those displaced, i.e., 11 very low (4 elderly); 8 low (1 elderly); 4 moderate. (We are not required to meet the elderly/non-elderly composition.) • The Agency is currently working with ASL on a fifth-four (55) unit senior facility on Las Tunas. Eleven (11) of these units will be affordable (very low income). This, if ultimately approved by the Agency and constructed and operated as planned, will meet the Agency's requirement to replace the eleven (11) very low income Hale/Waken units. (This will also meet the Agency's 2003 and 2004 Excess Surplus requirement). Staff, per the Agency's direction, is also working with Meta Housing on their proposed 109-unit senior facility on the site of the Westerner Hotel (22 units-very low income). If this is approved and constructed, the Agency will fully meet its replacement housing requirement because the law permits the construction of lower income units in place of higher income units, e.g., the eight (8) units of low income removed as part of the Hake/Waken project can be replaced by eight (8) units of very low income. (This will also meet the Agency's 2005 Excess Surplus requirement.) The Agency is also soliciting proposals from developers on the former Mounted Police site for non-senior affordable housing. Assuming a suitable development is proposed, the Agency will expend additional Housing Set Aside Funds, this time using funds for the 84.5% of the population comprising non-seniors. 6 OTHER PROGRAMS The Implementation Plan states that following completion of the above, the Agency will proceed to implement some or all of the programs included in the original Implementation Plan. These are, in priority order: • Home Rehabilitation Loan Program — Financial assistance for the rehabilitation of the homes of very low, low or moderate income families in return for a forty-five (45) year affordability covenant. (Income levels based on state, not federal criteria.) This would also apply to a multi-family apartment unit or complex but the. affordability covenant would be fifty-five (55) years for rental units.. • First Time Home Buyer Program — The Agency could provide financial assistance to an income-eligible family, i.e., a second trust deed loan. It could be a "silent" second, i.e., no principal or interest is paid until sale. The Agency and homeowner would share in the appreciation of the equity of the property. • Mortgage Assistance Program — This is a federal tax credit program reducing the annual mortgage payment and thereby allowing families of lower income to qualify for conventional housing loans. • • Free Market Housing Participation Program — The Agency could financially assist developers/owners of multi-family apartments to lease some units to lower income families (for fifty-five (55) years). • Rental Subsidy — The City/Agency could create its own Housing Authority, or contract with Los Angeles County or another local housing authority, to provide rental subsidy payments to lower income families or households. • Section 8 Program Through Los Angeles County Housing Authority — The Agency can simply elect to transfer Housing Set Aside Funds (by law this must be prior to the end of the first year after the funds become "excess surplus") to Los Angeles County for use in the City under the Section 8 Rent Subsidy Program. • • Administrative — This covers the Development Services costs of operating the Affordable Housing Program. ($60,000) FUTURE (2002-2004) The Agency will continue to work on implementing the senior housing goal of the Implementation Plan, i.e., fifty-five (55) units of affordable senior housing. Although replacement housing units now by law cannot count toward meeting this goal, they will, of course, count toward meeting the replacement housing requirement, e.g., the ASL and Meta projects. • Because of the passage of AB 637, the Agency will accelerate its efforts to assist or develop non-senior affordable housing, possibly on the former Mounted Police site or 7 the Alta Street lot. By doing this or by using one or all of the programs listed above, the Agency will also assist the City in meeting its RHNA housing goals (forty-seven (47) units total:,very low—thirty-five (35); low—twelve (12).
