FILE NUMBER
Direct the Agency General Counsel to prepare and authorize the Executive
Director to execute an amendment to the agreement with Clark & Green
Associates for landscape architectural design services in the amount of
$15,000, for a total contract amount of $105,000.
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 to accommodate the mall's expansion. In
August 2006, the Agency amended the contract with Clark & Green to modify
the scope of work to include the mall's interior common area landscaping
and signage. This was done to facilitate a more cohesive approach to
upgrading the appearance of the mall.
The improvements are well underway, with completion anticipated by early
December 2007. During this process, Clark & Green has been involved in
the improvement plan development and review as well as limited
construction oversight, which has been more time - intensive than
originally anticipated. Additionally, on an as needed basis, a
representative from Clark & Green assists with the review of any
dealership (expansion) plans and serves on the mall's Architectural
Committee, pursuant to the mall's Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions.
It is recommended that the Agency amend the agreement with Clark & Green
Associates to accommodate the necessary additional work to be performed
for the Auto Mall and for other Agency projects, should the need arise.
Clark & Green, represented by Mike Green, is a very experienced landscape
