The City <br />provided the NPS a draft environmental assessment and recreational value assessment report for <br />their review. However, subsequently skate elements were added at two park sites (Sixth/Lacy <br />and Raitt/Myrtle), and a storm water capture feature was added to one of the sites (Raitt/Myrtle) <br />after the draft was submitted to the NPS. Due to the addition of the aforementioned features, an <br />environmental assessment is necessary to address these elements. <br />Therefore, City Staff is requesting an amendment to modify the scope, term and compensation of <br />the agreement with Placeworks, Inc. in order to complete the work that remains. The College will <br />reimburse the City for the additional cost associated with this scope of work. <br />25E-1 <br />
