DISCUSSION In August 2002, the Agency entered into an agreement with Clark & Green Associates to assist with developing a landscape design concept for the Auto Mall frontage and entries. In May 2004, the Agency amended the contract with Clark & Green to continue our efforts at the Santa Ana Auto Mall and adjacent Edinger Avenue frontages. In addition to the frontage and entries, it has become necessary to evaluate the mall's interior common area landscaping in conjunction with the existing dealers. This will result in a more cohesive approach to upgrading the appearance of the mall. It is recommended that the Agency amend the agreement with Clark & Green Associates to allow additional work to be performed for the Auto Mall and for other Agency projects, should the need arise. The scope of services has been expanded to include preparation of specifications, provide project review and limited construction monitoring and architectural review. Clark & Green, represented by Mike Green, is a highly experienced landscape architecture firm. Mr. Green was directly involved in the initial landscape design and development of the Santa Ana Auto Mall. 4 -1
