The contract documents will be used to competitively bid and construct <br />the project. <br />Santiago Park is a 35 -acre linear park located in northern edge of Santa Ana along Santiago <br />Creek (Exhibit 1). At the midpoint of the park is a large, barren area referred to as the "Gas <br />House" area, named for a small stone fagade structure which was built in the 1930s as part of the <br />Works Progress Administration (WPA) park improvements effort. This project involves renovation <br />of this structure and development of the surrounding site, which includes construction of an <br />amphitheater, installation of native riparian landscaping, automatic "smart' irrigation, <br />decomposed granite walkways, site amenities, and interpretive signage. <br />In October 2016, the Public Works Agency released a Request for Proposals (RFP) inviting <br />qualified firms to submit proposals for architectural design services. The RFP was posted on the <br />City website and forwarded to local chapters of the American Society of Landscape Architects <br />and American Institute of Architects for distribution to their membership. <br />25D -1 <br />
