David Evans & <br />Associates, Inc. provides design services for park amenities including for exercise <br />areas, a playground area, half-size basketball court, skate park, turf field, canvas shade <br />structure, landscaping, irrigation, and parking lot improvements. <br />David Evans & Associates, Inc. has proven to be a reliable and knowledgeable partner <br />in the preparation of construction documents for the Standard-McFadden Park project. <br />They have provided the City with the additional staff and expertise necessary to design <br />a high quality park. In an effort to increase the safety and aesthetic value of the project <br />to the surrounding community, design revisions have been requested by City staff at the <br />final stages of design. Additional detail of the re-design work requested is provided in <br />the consultant’s request to increase the total contract amount (Exhibit 1). <br />For these reasons, staff has exceeded the initial estimation of utilization of the <br />contracted services. Staff recommends amending the agreement with David Evans and <br />Associates, Inc. to increase the not-to-exceed amount for the remainder of the contract
