picnic facilities and multi-purpose courts.
The agreed fee for the work with Dunaway and Associates, L.P., is $45,300. The professional services

plan, a final master plan and budget estimates. The agreement also provides for Phase 1 construction
documents which will include a topographic survey, construction plans and specifications, stormwater
pollution prevention plan, bid phase, and construction phase. An additional M&C will be presented to
Council to award the bid for construction of park improvements.
In addition to the professional services agreement, associated contingency funding for design and
administration totals $4,000; bringing the total funding needed to $49,300.
M/UVBE- Dunaway and Associates, L.P., is in compliance with City's MM/BE Ordinance by committing to 11
