The current Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the Downtown ADA, Lighting & Tree Rehab Project (see attached CIP summary sheet CIF-22-003). This overall project includes replacement of street lights and pedestrian lights, upgrades to the electrical system, replacement of concrete and pavers, and replacement of trees. The project is identified as a 2023 construction project with funding allocated for planning and design to start in 2022.

The initial stage of planning and design will include the evaluation and feasibility for the street and pedestrian lighting replacement. Once this lighting system evaluation is completed, then under a separate task, the hardscaping, sidewalks and trees will be further evaluated by another team. 

With that said, city staff needs assistance from a design consultant to complete the street lighting feasibility report. City staff has worked with SEH to develop a scope of work and professional services agreement needed to deliver the report. SEH has the experience, technical skill and capacity to provide the needed services and is part of the city's approved consultant pool. The attached Professional Services Agreement authorizes and describes the scope and fees for their work on this project.
