BACKGROUND <br />The primary objective of this project is to develop plans for the renovation of landscape <br />plantings and irrigation systems for the 20 separate roadway median islands on West <br />Las Positas Boulevard, east of Santa Rita Road to Boardwalk Street. These <br />landscaped areas have declined in appearance over the past several years, and are <br />now at a point where the irrigation systems and plantings need to be renovated. The <br />goal of this project is to return the street landscaping to a more attractive and easily <br />maintained condition -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 into three (3) separate bid packages, <br />allowing an opportunity to bid and construct the improvements over three (3) or more <br />years, as additional Park Renovation Funds become available. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Staff identified several firms that specialize in work of this type; however, of all of the <br />firms identified, Tanaka Design Group, Inc. was determined to be the most qualified to <br />design the project. The Scope of Work proposed by Tanaka Design Group is complete <br />and comprehensive, and staff believes that the proposed fees are equitable. A copy of <br />Mr. Tanaka's proposal and the recommended Professional Services Agreement are <br />attached for the Council's review. <br />by: <br />James W.
