Amended budget will accept donation in amount of $71,955 from the University of Saint Thomas, with all funds directed to contract with SRF Consulting for environmental review of a proposed building project on the Universiry of Saint Thomas campus. PED staff will be directing the work of SRF Consulting. Recommendations: Approve (A) or Reject (R): Personal Service Contracts Must Answer the Following Questions: Planning Commission 1, Has this person/firtn ever worked untler a contract for this department? CIB Committee Yes No Civil Service Commission 2. Has this person/firm ever been a city employee� Yes No 3. Does this person/firm possess a skill not normally possessed by any current city empbyee? Yes No Explain all yes answers on separate sheet and attach to green sheet. Initiating Problem, Issues, Opportunity (Who, What, When, Where, Why): University of Saint Thomas has proposed the construction of a new student center to 6e located at the northeast cornet of the intersection of Cretin and Summit Avenues. As the new building will be located partially in the Summit Avenue West Historic Distnct, Minnesota law requires that an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) be completed. Through an RFP process involving both City staff and representatives from the West Summit Neighborhood Advisory Committee (WSNAC), SRF Consulting was chose to complete the EAW. The University of Saint Thomas will provide funds to cover the cost of the services to be provided by SRF; SRF will be under contract too and work at the direcrion of the Ciry, managed by PED staff. Advantages If Approved: Reyuired environmental review work may proceed. Budget amendment will allow University of Saint Thomas to pay for costs of environmental review while still maintaining full control for the Ciry of Saint Paul as the Responsible Govemment Unit (RGLn under state ]aw. Disadvantages If Approved: None. DisadvanWges If NotApproved: If not approved, one of the following undesirable situations would result. 1) Environmental review work proceeds, but altemate Ciry funds would be required to wver costs; or 2) Environmental review work procees, but with consultant under contract to University of Saint Thomas, resulting in tainting of process and undermining of Ciry's Lole as RGU; or 3) Environmental review wozk cannot proceed.
