ATTACHMENTS: 1) Consultant Services Agreement
RECOMMENDATION: prove and authorize Mayor to execute Agreement
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The proposed fee for services under the Agreement is $246,500.

DESCRIPTION: As approved in the 2002-2007 Capital Improvement Program,
· design of Emerald Glen Park Phase m will begin Fiscal Year 2003-2004 and construction will be
commence in Fiscal Year 2004-2005. As shown in the Emerald Glen Master Plan the primary elements of
the 14.5-acre area includes two soccer fields, a little league, field, picnic area, street frontage
improvements and parking.
Staff solicited a proposal for landscape design services from Carducci and Associates in November 2003,
the landsCape architect for Emerald Glen Park Phase II. With Carducci's experience from phase II
development, there is a greater degree of continuity in the design of phase m.
The scope of work for professional services will include a parking study, topographic survey,
development of three alternative designs, a preferred conceptual plan, design development, construction
documentation and bidding. The complete detail of the professional services is listed as Exhibit A in the
attached Consultant Services Agreement.
Staff has included the parking study as part of this scope of work to determine the amount of parking
required for site build out. Prepared in 1998, the Emerald Glen Park Master Plan did not provide a full
analysis of parking needs. The proposed study will convey the necessary information for park's remaining
phases of construction. Upon conclusion of the parking study, there will be a comprehensive community
design process. As was done with Emerald Glen Park Phase II, Staff along with Carducci and Associates
will hold a series of public workshops this spring. Carducci will develop three alternative designs in
keeping with the master plan's overall intent to generate community input. As a result of community
input, the cdnsultant will prepare a preferred conceptual plan for additional community review. Once
consensus is reached, the original three design alternatives along with the preferred conceptual plan will
be presented the Parks and Community Services Commission for review and recommendation to the City
Council. The City Council will have final approval of the conceptual plan.
