appear to meet the TDEC requirements regarding the planning process and the information required to 
be included in the Masterplan. 
 
After determining that both firms  were qualified and that their proposals would produce substantially 
similar results, we compared the cost of each proposal. KHA’s proposal provides the most cost-effective 
approach for achieving the desired outcome. Therefore, we are recommending that City Council approve 
the proposal from KHA to prepare the Masterplan update for a fee in the amount of $87,950. The second 
proposal received was more than $15,000 higher with no discernible difference between the quality and 
scope of the work to be provided. 
 
The agreement allows for certain customary reimbursable expenses and establishes  an hourly rate 
schedule should additional services be needed. Therefore, we are also recommending the authorization 
of an additional $4,500 to be used for reimbursable expenses and additional services, if needed. 
 
Action Item 
Approve the Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates in the amount of $87,950 
to update the City’s Parks and Recreation Masterplan and authorize an additional $4,500 for reimbursable 
expenses and additional services, if needed.
