SUMMARY: Agency apprOval is requested to enter into a consUltant services agreement for the
provision of development advisor/implementation coordination services for the development of
Tustin £egacy. . '
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency authorize the Executive Director to execute a
Consultant Services Agreement between the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency and
Interra. Inc. for prox4sion of Developer Advisor/Implementation Coordination services to the
Agency for Tustin Legacy, subject to planning and implementation activities related to City
Attorney approval of the subject agreement as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT
Base Compensation will be determined according to initial established hourly rotes for the
consultant as delineated in the Agreement. Base Compensation for the primary scope of services
will be paid on a monthly basis up to an initial annual cap of $150,000 or $12,500 monthly, plus
$12,000 for reimbursement of direct expenses not to exceed $1,000 per month during Fiscal Year
2000-01.
The schedule for performance of the scope of services for this Agreement is inherently uncertain
given the nature of the disposition and development process for MCAS-Tustin. Therefore, any
portion of the Base Compensation exceeding the cap will be deferred. Payment for any deferred
amount of Base Compensation will be made from future land sales proceeds.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, there is a possibility that additional compensation in the
form of Incentive Compensation may be paid to the consultant based solely on its ability to enhance
bulk land sales proceeds above an initial mutually established land sales price. Any such Incentive
Compensation would be a percentage of the difference between the established land sales price and
the enhanced value, and would be paid to the consultant out of land sales proceeds.

Funding would come from the following sources: unexpended funds from the existing Consultant
Services Agreement with Interra, Inc., for Fiscal Year 1999-00, MCAS-Tustin Redevelopment
Agency Funds for Fiscal Year 2000-01, and future land sales proceeds from sale of property
acquired by the Agency and resold to master developers.
BACKGROUND AND ~DISCUSSION
The City of Tustin, the designated Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) for Marine Corps Air
Station (MCAS) Tustin has developed the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan/Reuse Plan ("Reuse
Plan") to guide the redevelopment of surplus land at this former military facility. Following the
completion of the Reuse Plan, the City contracted for the preparation of a Strategic Marketing
Plan for MCAS Tustin (during this process the community redefined the project as "Tustin
Legacy"), and completed a Business Development Plan which sets forth the financial and
implementation framework for development of Tustin Legacy. The LRA has also contracted for
the preparation of materials related to the implementation of the marketing program for the site.
The City and its Tustin Redevelopment Agency (Agency) have now identified the need for
additional developer advisor services to assist the Agency. These sen'ices will be generally
guided by previous Tustin Legacy documents. The development advisor role includes services
related to management and coordination of certain project management tasks, disposition and
development activities, and a broad range of general development implementation tasks
necessary to ensure the orderly disposition and development of the Tustin Legacy site. These
services will also include the necessary due-diligence and reporting requirements for this
complex large-scale development project. Under direction of the Agency, the developer advisor
will be an independent, consultant providing the necessary personnel, outside sub-consultant
support, and market expertise to enable the Agency to plan, manage, and implement the Tustin
Legacy project.
The following is a summary of general tasks identified in the Consultant's scope of services are as
follows:
Preparation of Master Developer Request for Qualifications (RFQs) and Requests for
Proposals (RFPs).
· Technical Evaluation °fDeveloper RFQ and RFP Responses.
· Developer Negotiations/Site Conveyance and Disposition Advisory Services.
· Development Plan, Budget and Schedules.
· Strategic Marketing Plan Implementation,
· Development and Administration of Tustin Legacy Design Guidelines.
· Infrastructure Planning Assistance.

· Strategic Marketing Plan Implementation.
· Development and Administration of Tustin Legacy Design Guidelines.
· Infrastructure Planning Assistance.
· On-Site Staffing and Representation.
Interra Strategies, Inc., has prepared a Strategic Marketing Plan for MCAS-Tustin, identified as
the Tustin Legacy site, under a previous Consultant Services Agreement with the Tustin
Community Redevelopment Agency. When the previous services were solicited, the Agency
identified additional services needed for execution of the approved Marketing Plan in its original
Request for Proposal, including a range of developer advisor services to the Agency. At the time,
Interra, Inc. was recommended to the City Council and Agency by staff and the MCAS-Tustin
Marketing Committee as the firm to provide initial marketing and subsequent development
advisor services.
Interra, Inc. has subsequently strengthened its depth and ability to support the development
advisor role by adding the firm of Economic and Planning Systems (EPS) as a sub-consultant to
their developer advisor scope of services. EPS provided prime consultant services to the
Agency in preparation of the MCAS-Tustin Economic Development Conveyance application,
including the Agency's Business and Operational Plan for the Tustin Legacy project.
The attached Consultant Services Agreement has been reviewed by the Cit3r Attorney's office.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
DEVELOPMENT ADVISOR / IMPLEMENTATION COORDINATION
TUSTIN LEGACY
Background
City of Tustin, the designated Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) for Marine Corps Air
Station (MCAS) Tustin has developed the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan/Reuse Plan ("Reuse
Plan") to guide the redevelopment of surplus land at this former military facility. Following
the completion of the Reuse Plan, the City contracted for the preparation of a Strategic
Marketing Plan for MCAS Tustin (during this process the community redefined the project as
"Tustin Legacy") and completed a Business Development Plan that sets forth the financial
and implementation framework for development of Tustin Legacy. The LRA also has
contracted for the preparation of materials related to the implementation of the marketing
program for the site.
The City and Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency (Agency) have now identified the
need for additional Development Advisor services (Consultant services) to assist the Agency.
These services will generally be guided by previous Tustin Legacy documents. The
Development Advisor role would include:
· services related to management and coordination of certain project management tasks,
· disposition and development activities, and
· a broad range of general development implementation tasks necessary to ensure the
orderly disposition and development of the Tustin Legacy site.
These services also would include the necessary due-diligence and reporting requirements for
this complex large-scale development project. The City and/or Agency may identify
additional implementation tasks for assignment to the Consultant as considered necessary by
the Agency as the project proceeds. Such tasks, when determined, shall be attached as an
addendum to this Scope of Services.
Under direction of the Assistant City Manager and Senior Redevelopment Project Manager,
the Development Advisor would be an independent consultant providing the necessary
personnel, outside sub-consultant support, and market expertise to enable the Agency to plan,
manage, and implement the Tustin Legacy project.
Understanding the role and objectives as summarized above, the City and its Agency require
the Scope of Services outlined as follows:
Task 1.
Kick-Off Meeting
The Consultant, including all consultant and sub-consultant support for this scope of service,
shall conduct a kick-off meeting with Agency staff. The purpose of the kick-off meeting will
be to review the Development Advisor scope of services, authorities for undertaking
assignments, deliverables, and 12-month schedule of performance for the necessary asset
disposition and implementation coordination and other required tasks.
Deliverables - Refined scope of services and schedule based upon outcome of meeting.

upon by The Consultant and Agency for this task, The Consultant shall prepare and produce
comprehensive RFQ/RFP packages (beyond the previously provided RFQ's for Disposition
Package Numbers 1, 5, and 6A). The style and quality of the additional packages shall be
comparable to that of those previously produced for Agency for MCAS-Tustin. It will be the
responsibility of the Agency to make direct payment for all printing costs. The Consultant
shall provide a color mock-up of the final documents for Agency review and approval, as well
as a copy of the electronic production files, for printing purpose and the Agency's files, for
each package produced. The Consultant also shall work with the Agency to refine RFP
content in an effort to stimulate creative development responses and maximize the potential
leverage of community benefits derived from the proposals.
In conjunction with this task, Consultant also shall identify highly qualified potential
developers to receive RFQ notices based upon the type of experience needed for a particular
disposition package. The Agency shall receive a copy of the electronic file for this data from
Consultant. The Consultant also shall recommend an advertising plan and schedule for the
disposition packages, and shall provide recommended ad copy for placement in development
and real estate industry publications. The Agency will make direct payment for the cost of
such ad placements.

for specific disposition packages and (i.e., golf course development) as approved by Agency.
To facilitate the coordination and assignment of responsibilities for this task, the Consultant
shall organize and conduct a session that includes Agency staff, and other personnel and sub-
consultants as approved by the Agency. It is anticipated that the Consultant and its approved
sub-consultants role will include, but not be limited to, the 'review of the submitted

schedule, financial plan, and budget. The Consultant shall prepare and deliver, for the
Agency's approval, any necessary revisions to the Business Development Plan requested by

backbone infrastructure system. The Consultant will be responsible for regular schedule
updating, which will require on-going coordination and direct communication with the City

consultants.
The master development schedule is intended to assist the Agency in measuring the
performance of the individual components of the project, reaching financing decisions, and
meeting the reporting requirements of such agencies as the U.S. Navy, State of California, etc.
The information also will be useful as a tool for prospective developers, end users and tenants
in establishing their Own market timing evaluations.

actual development of property developers. In this context, the Consultant may be asked to
verify that a developer's marketing approach:

b) targets the appropriate identified audience, and
c) is effectively executed through the use of adequate programs, materials and methods
of outreach.

Consultant shall assess the current market conditions in li~ht of previous expectations, and
either UPdate the original Plan or suggest modifications to the developer's program. The
Consultant shall report its efforts to the Agency on a case-by-case basis.

establish a forum for coordinating individual marketing efforts property-wide. In such a case,
the Consultant will function as a resource to Agency, as the executive developer, coordinating
marketing opportunities with development-related organizations, media events, publications
(print and electronic), etc., from a local to national level.
Deliverables: To be determined.
Task 7. Development and Administration of Tustin Legacy Design Guidelines
Under the direction of the Agency, The Consultant shall coordinate the selection and effort of
a consultant to the Agency for preparation of physical project design guidelines to be adopted
by the City and AgencY. The objective of these guidelines is to ensure accomplishment of
Reuse Plan objectives, enhance the quality of the eventual development, attract quality uses
and purchasers to the site, and maximize the market's perception of the future of the Tustin
Legacy site.
The design guidelines will assimilate through inclusion, reference, or attachment CCR's
prepared by the Agency for the project and for the overall development of the site and specific
disposition parcels. It is not the agency's intent that the design guidelines would establish
specific requirements and uses for the site (that has been accomplished with the Reuse Plan),
but to develop general guidelines Which define the character and nature of site development,
as well as the identity of individual neighborhoods and parcels in the Tustin Legacy project.
The Consultant shall be responsible for ensuring which of the elements and features identified
in the design guidelines are more critical to the design and development of the site and its
infi'astructure, and which elements are less critical. The guidelines shall be clear, concise, and
provide graphic materials, models, narrative, and examples.
The establishment of the guidelines shall include careful consideration of potential
users/purchasers to ensure that the guidelines contribute to the interest and value of the
development by the development/builder community.
Upon request, the Consultant will coordinate updates to the Agency approved design
guidelines and master plan through the course of development as may be necessary to
incorporate specific uses and features as they are more specifically defined and respond to
changes in market.
The Consultant shall obtain three estimates from local design sub-consultants for the
production of the actual design guidelines. The Agency will authorize, contract with and
compensate the design sub-consultant directly. The Consultant will serve in a project
management, quality control and technical advisor role in supervising the sub-consultant
work, in reviewing payment requests, etc.
Deliverables: Tustin Legacy Design Guidelines
Task 8. Infrastructure Planning Assistance
The development of the Tustin Legacy will require significant on-site demolition and
infrastructure investment. It also will require integration of a new on-site backbone
infrastructure system with the surrounding transportation and utility systems. As requested by
the Agency, The Consultant will participate with Agency staff in planning the scope, priority,
and integration of infrastructure projects into the overall financial Plan and development
schedule. The Consultant will not be directly responsible for the financing feasibility studies,
· implementation or financing of infrastructure projects, but will act as an extension of staff and
advisor in the project team process. The objective is to ensure that critical development
considerations are not overlooked in the planning and financing structures that are designed
for implementing these components of the Tustin Legacy Project. The Consultant's role will
assist the Agency in refinement and prioritization of development requirements and financing
strategies for these improvements.
Deliverables: To be determined.
Task 9.
On-site staffing and representation
If requested, The Consultant will staff an on-site Tustin Legacy development coordination
office provided by the Agency with personnel to be approved by the Agency. This staffing
would be mutually determined between the Agency and The Consultant. The objective of this
on-site staffing would be to provide direct and continuous liaison between developers and the
Agency through the Consultant during the initial implementation period.
