Landscape Architects, Inc. (SSA) for construction support and sub -consultant management services for the Magical Bridge Playground Project RECOMMENDATION By motion, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 3 to the agreement with SSA for additional time and scope for playground and landscape architectural design services for the Magical Bridge Playground in the amount of $235,524. STRATEGIC INITIATIVE Community for All Ages BACKGROUND For the past two fiscal years, the City Council has appropriated nearly $3M towards the complete renovation of the large playground within Red Morton Park through a combination of Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Funds and Park Impact Fees. The budget funded hiring of the landscape consultant firm, traffic study, master planning, design, construction drawings for bidding, and playground improvements. On April 11, 2016, the City Council approved a professional services agreement with SSA for the "Red Morton Westside Park Renovation Project." The project primarily focused on improvements to the main pedestrian entrance into the park from Valota Road, street crossings surrounding the park to improve pedestrian safety, pathway improvement, improved sport field viewing, and the reconstruction of the large playground nearValota Road. When the opportunity to work with the Magical Bridge Foundation presented itself, City staff envisioned a new direction to leverage partnerships, sponsors, funders, stakeholders, and the community at large to create a fully inclusive playground for everyone regardless of ability.
