AGREEMENT WITH HOISINGTON KOEGLER GROUP INC.
DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT GUIDE UPDATE
Proposed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Approval of a Professional Services Agreement with
Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. for the completion of the Downtown Development Guide update.
Overview
The City Council approved a Downtown Development Guide in December of 2006. This Development
Guide has been utilized as the guide for public and private investment and initiatives in the Downtown for
the past ten years. The Guide has been the basis for the City being able to secure funds for the construction
of Market Plaza, Downtown public parking improvements, major improvements to Pioneer Plaza and the
proposed 2017 streetscape improvements and entrance monuments along Holyoke Avenue.
In 2016 the City Council expressed interest in updating the current Downtown Development Guide and
thus it was included in the 2017 Budget. The established budget for the Development Guide Update is
$45,000. The City recently received approval of a Redevelopment Incentive Grant (RIG) from the Dakota
County CDA in the amount of $15,000. The remaining $30,000 has been approved as part of the City’s
2017 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application to the Dakota County CDA. The 2006
Development Guide Update was funded with the same funding sources.
The City received proposals from three firms for this Downtown Development Guide Update. All three
firms proposed not-to-exceed-fees between $44,500 to $45,000. Staff is recommending retaining the firm
of Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. based on the quality of their proposal and the fact that they have
completed numerous planning studies for the City of Lakeville including the 2006 Downtown Development
Guide.
Primary Issues to Consider
• What is the primary public benefit of updating the Downtown Development guide? It will be able
to be incorporated into the 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update and will provide a guide for future
redevelopment activity in the Downtown for the next 10-20 years.
