3.B. Approve Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Landform Professionals Services, LLC. for
Planning and Land Use Services for the HOPE Program
Prepared By
Christine Costello, Housing & Economic Development Manager
Summary
On January 14th the Golden Valley Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) held a work session
to discuss the status of the Home Ownership Program for Equity (HOPE) Program. There were a
number of items discussed including a general update on the program status as well as the due
diligence work that needs to be completed to continue moving the program forward. The due
diligence work includes rezoning, a neighborhood meeting for rezoning, administrative comprehensive
plan amendments from Met Council, platting and recording at Hennepin County, and additional
surveying of potential city-owned vacant sites to determine if additional sites would be viable for
construction of additional housing in the community.
Community Development is looking to work with Landform Professional Services, LLC. (Landform), a
multi-disciplinary planning, urban design, land use surveying and platting, and comprehensive plan
consulting firm that specializes in technical and project management for cities. Working with Landform
will allow the City's Planning staff to work alongside the consultant but also keep up on their other
responsibilities in the community.
Financial or Budget Considerations
The HRA's Housing budget has funds set aside for due diligence as discussed in the January 14th work
session. In addition, Golden Valley's Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) will be utilized. If needed, the
Cornerstone Creek TIF District funds can be used towards meeting the HRA's and City's housing goals.
Legal Considerations
Legal has developed and reviewed the PSA.
Equity Considerations
The HOPE Program meets the City’s goals to preserve and promote economically diverse housing
options in our community by creating high quality housing in Golden Valley for households with a
variety of income levels, ages, and sizes. Dedicated publicly owned land for more affordable housing
for homeownership is a valuable resource to meet our affordable housing goals.

or arising from this Agreement, or caused in whole or in part by any negligent act or omission or willful
misconduct by Consultant, or arising out of Consultant’s failure to obtain or maintain the insurance
required by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver or limitation of any
immunity or limitation of liability to which the HRA is entitled. The parties agree that these
indemnification obligations shall survive the completion or termination of this Agreement.

insurance shall not be canceled or amended unless 30 days’ written notice is provided to the HRA, or
10 days’ written notice in the case of non-payment.
10. Subcontracting. Neither the HRA nor Consultant shall assign, or transfer any rights under or interest
(including, but without limitation, moneys that may become due or moneys that are due) in the
Agreement without the written consent of the other except to the extent that the effect of this
limitation may be restricted by law. Unless specifically stated to the contrary in any written consent
to an assignment, no assignment will release or discharge the assignor from any duty or responsibility
under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall prevent Consultant from employing
such independent contractors, associates, and subcontractors, as it may deem appropriate to assist it
in the performance of the Services required by this Agreement. Any instrument in violation of this
provision is null and void.
11. Assignment. Neither the HRA nor Consultant shall assign this Agreement or any rights under or
interest in this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other party’s prior written consent. Any
assignment in violation of this provision is null and void.
12. Independent Contractor. Consultant is an independent contractor. Consultant’s duties shall be
performed with the understanding that Consultant has special expertise as to the services which
Consultant is to perform and is customarily engaged in the independent performance of the same or
similar services for others. Consultant shall provide or contract for all required equipment and
personnel. Consultant shall control the manner in which the services are performed; however, the
nature of the Services and the results to be achieved shall be specified by the HRA. The parties agree
that this is not a joint venture and the parties are not co-partners. Consultant is not an employee or
agent of the HRA and has no authority to make any binding commitments or obligations on behalf of

Drug, and Alcohol Policy, as well as all other reasonable work rules, safety rules, or policies, and
procedures regulating the conduct of persons on HRA property, at all times while performing duties
pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant agrees and understands that a violation of any of these
8
4
policies, procedures, or rules constitutes a breach of the Agreement and sufficient grounds for
immediate termination of the Agreement by the HRA.
14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, any attached exhibits, and any addenda signed by the parties shall
constitute the entire agreement between the HRA and Consultant, and supersedes any other written
or oral agreements between the HRA and Consultant. This Agreement may only be modified in a
writing signed by the HRA and Consultant. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement
and the referenced or attached items, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. If there is any conflict

information Consultant has obtained arising out of or related to this Agreement, except as authorized
by the HRA or as required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall
grant or transfer any rights, title or interests in any intellectual property created by Consultant prior

recommendations for the HRA using proprietary processes or formulas, Consultant shall provide the
HRA (1) factual support for such reports and recommendations; (2) a detailed explanation of the

of the rationale behind the methodology used. All of the obligations in this paragraph shall survive

providers for this or other matters, in the HRA’s sole discretion.

Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13. Consultant agrees to notify the HRA
9
5
within three business days if it receives a data request from a third party. This paragraph does not
create a duty on the part of Consultant to provide access to public data to the public if the public data
are available from the HRA, except as required by the terms of this Agreement. These obligations shall
survive the termination or completion of this Agreement.
21. Confidentiality. Consultant understands that the HRA has access to, develops, and uses private,

agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the HRA from costs, including but not limited to damages,
