BACKGROUND <br /> The primary objective of this project is to develop plans for the renovation of landscape <br /> plantings and irrigation systems for the existing roadway median islands on Stoneridge <br /> Drive (from Stoneridge Mall Road, west to Foothill Road), Stoneridge Mall Road (from <br /> Stoneridge Drive to Workday Way, formerly Fabian Court), and Springdale Avenue <br /> (from Stoneridge Drive, north to Stoneridge Mall Road). These landscaped areas have <br /> declined in appearance over the past several years, and are now at a point where the <br /> irrigation systems and plantings need to be renovated. The goal of this project is to <br /> return the street landscaping to a more attractive and easily maintained condition <br /> commensurate with other areas of the City. <br /> The consultant's work would follow the direction of the City Landscape Architect and the <br /> Parks Maintenance Superintendent, and conform to City Standard Specifications and <br /> Details. The design work would be developed in accordance with Alameda Waste <br /> Management and Recycling Board's Bay Friendly Landscape Guidelines. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> Staff identified several firms that specialize in work of this type; however, of all of the <br /> firms identified, Thomas Baak and Associates was determined to be the most qualified <br /> to design the project. The Scope of Work proposed by Thomas Baak and Associates is <br /> complete and comprehensive, and staff believes that the proposed fees are equitable. <br /> A copy of Thomas Baak and Associates' proposal and the recommended Professional <br /> Services Agreement are attached for the Council's review. <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approve y: <br /> Susan Andrade -Wax David P.
