This Letter of Agreement is a continuation of our current involvement with the Voorde Park master plan. This agreement will outline the project scope, our professional services, a tentative schedule and related professional fees. PROJECT INFORMATION: Voorde Park is 12 -acre public park located near the South Bend Regional Airport bound by Voorde Drive to the north and Keller Street to the south. This neighborhood park currently offers tennis courts, playground equipment, basketball courts, picnic tables, and restrooms and will soon be home to a local rugby organization. The scope of work will include the development of construction documents for the revitalization of the park and development of new uses including: • New Internal Sidewalk /ADA Connections — In an effort to improve accessibility and provide additional walking routes, the development of internal sidewalks connecting the new and proposed park features (i.e. playground, restrooms, parking, etc.) is desired. • New Basketball Court — As one of the most heavily used features of the park, the basketball court is in poor condition and in need of repair. Adjacent to the basketball court is a seldom used play court in similar disrepair. The intent is to remove this existing asphalt surface and construct a new basketball court west of the existing restroom. • Remove /Replace Older Individual Play Equipment —To provide safer and more modern play equipment, the existing individual play structures, except the newer "Bigfoot" slide, will be removed. New play equipment will be added to the proposed expansion of the central playground area. New play equipment will most likely include full size swings, a climbing structure and a permanent playground edge. • New Rugby /Soccer Fields — Provide reconditioned, competitive quality turf areas for local rugby and soccer organizations 510 LINCOLNwAy EAST, SUITE C.
