and the City of Lake Elsinore for project consultant services on the Rosetta Canyon Park
Phase II Project.
Background
On March 24, 2015 the City authorized the approval of a professional services agreement
with STK Inc. (architectural services) to complete the design and construction documents
phase of the Rosetta Canyon Park Phase II project. ProStaff LLC has been working with
City Staff to streamline the project timeline and to identify cost saving opportunities from the
project inception. In fact, ProStaff LLC has negotiated over $230,000 in savings from
professional services needed during the preliminary design phase of the project.
Discussion
ProStaff is a municipal consulting firm serving public agencies solely in the State of
California and ProStaff will be working closely with City staff through all project phases with
an emphases on the upfront contractual negotiation. ProStaff will bring to the project
extensive Capital Improvement Project experience that exceeds city staff capacity. This
experience extends the range of complete spectrum of circulation, infrastructure and public
facility projects for municipalities. A major consideration and effort will be placed on the
cost estimating and cost containment of the project during the design and construction
phases.

Additionally, just as ProStaff has already utilized local City of Lake Elsinore professional
services at impressive savings to the project, they will continue to seek material and
services from local businesses for many other project requirements.
ProStaff will analyze cost saving opportunities for the City such as building the project as an
owner builder with consideration for the utilization of construction management services and
other specific areas of expertise from local City of Lake Elsinore talent. It is estimated that
this approach potentially may reduce project costs by as much as 20 %. Ongoing
operational and maintenance cost are a major consideration when building such a project.
ProStaff will seek opportunities to utilize alternative energy sources such as solar energy,
which has multiple direct benefits including reduced electrical power costs and when
incorporated into the design concept may provide shaded parking areas and building
structure cooling options which will help to reduce heat generation.
FISCAL IMPACT
The professional services of $95,000 has been budgeted in the Rosetta Canyon Park
project for project management services and available in the FY 14/15 CIP administration
budget.
