Deputy Executive Director Paul Saldana gave the staff report and answered questions of the
Board.
Board Member Luna asked about the constraints of acceptance of bids. Mr. Saldana replied that
the Agency does not have specific purchasing procedures. He stated that the process used was
an open-ended request for proposals and compared the scope of work to the cost. Board Member
Luna asked if the same procedure used in the City Council would be followed for a construction
bid. Mr. Saldana replied that the State procedure would be followed.
Vice Chairman Arrambide inquired about the estimated time factor. Mr. Saldana responded
saying that if the Board approves this, it will begin tomorrow. He stated that the intent of this
RFP was to have a frilly operational Main Street Organization by July 1, 2000, and some action
plan by May for budget purposes.
Chairman Johnson asked about the low bid. Mr. Saldana expressed that there was concern for
allocation of the costs. He stated that the low bidder ranked #3 in the review. This bid was for
more of a mentoring program which is the reason for the difference in cost.
Vice Chairman Arrambide asked what tools would be in place by July 1, 2000. Mr. Saldana
stated that we will have a fully organized Main Street Program, draft of design guidelines,
promotional program, and demographic information.
Board Member Luna asked where the Downtown Plan fits into all this and if the members of the
Main Street Plan will make recommendations to change the Downtown Plan prior to the
existence of a director. Mr. Saldana replied that the members of the Main Street Plan will make
the recommendations.
There was no public comment.
MOTION: By Board Member Luna and seconded by Vice Chairman
Arrambide to authorize Executive Director to enter into a
contract with Crawford, Multari, Clark and Mohr for
consulting services for the Atascadero Main Street Program.
Motion passed 4:0 by a roll -call vote.
