The planning process <br />will take place in two phases: the first phase <br />will address an area bounded by LaSalle (N), <br />Jefferson S, St. Joseph River v and Hill <br />St. . We sent Requests for Proposal. <br />(RFPs)to many professional planning <br />organizations and received fie proposals <br />ranging M. price from $49,000 to $185,000. <br />Dun'ng review staff looked for experience <br />and projects completed. Two proposals were <br />provided to Commissioners for review: JJR <br />out of Chicago and .edge out of Memphis, <br />Tennessee. Staff recommends accepting the <br />proposal from JJR. JJR is currently doing the <br />planning for the St. Joseph Regional Mcdical <br />Ccnter site for the NNR . We have been <br />very pleased with the planning that has taken <br />place so far for that, Their proposal says that <br />all stakeholders will be part of the planning <br />process. The process would begin July 1 and <br />be completed in September. Edge is a very <br />new organization with a much smaller <br />portfolio of successful planning projects and <br />the diversity of professionals on the Edge <br />team is much more 11m.1ted, The planning <br />process will be facilitated by the Holladay <br />Corp at no fee to the city. Phase 2 will be for <br />an area from Jefferson to the ' ran po site. <br />2 <br />
