Requested Action
Approve Professional Services Agreement
Recommendation
Approve Professional Services Agreement
Description/History
McClendon Park East was constructed in 1994 with assistance from Texas Parks and Wildlife and is connected to McClendon Park West by an unimproved, natural trail. The park is comprised of one lighted baseball field, a concession/restroom building, a pavilion and small playground area. With growing surrounding residential development, these parks are seeing more public use and in need of general improvements.
The professional services proposal from Westwood Professional Services, Inc. is attached, including design services to replace the 29-year-old playground and develop an accessible nature trail connecting McClendon Parks East and West. After review and discussion with Westwood, staff is proposing to execute the agreement including all basic services listed in Exhibit B totaling $61,800. The special services in the remaining tasks of their proposal are not recommended for inclusion at this time. Funding for this phase of the project is included in the FY2023-2024 MPFDC budget.
Justification
The project will provide new and improved park amenities for residents in the southwest quadrant of the city as indicated by the master plan.
Funding Source
MPFDC 1/2 cent sales tax
