Corner of Jefferson & Main Street Improvements Date: July 09, 2010 The attached Professional Services Agreement is a proposal from Danch, Harner & Associates for landscaping and engineering services for proposed plans for the improvement of the corner of Jefferson and Main streets. This project area encompasses the three lots on the southwest side of Jefferson and Main streets. Recently the Commission approved the planting of trees on the two grassy lots at this corner. This project will complete the improvements to this highly visible corner. To the northern most grassy lot, we would like to replace the topsoil and have it hydroseeded; add additional mulch to the trees; remove the steel posts along its boundary; and add three terra cotta colored cement pads, with two benches per pad. To the middle paved parking lot, we would remove the cement block entrance, and replace it with shrubby; remove old miscellaneous items sticking out of the ground at the entrance; remove the large cement barriers at the back of the lot, and reseal and restripe the lot, with the possibility of repaving the lot; and price new lighting within this lot. To the southern most grassy lot, we would remove all steel posts along its boundary; remove the guardrail that is currently laying on the ground at the back of the lot; and generally clean the area running from this lot to Lafayette Street. Along the western edge of all three lots, we would make a clean edge of the existing planting bed, and add landscaping where needed. Total project services cost is $8,800, with anot-to-exceed amount of $12,000 requested for the time and materials portion of the agreement. Staff requests approval of this Professional Services Agreement, to allow the preparation of documents for this site. What We Do Today Makes A Difference!
