The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the Windermere Bluff Community Park project (see attached CIP summary sheet PR-21-005). This project includes a large playground at street level and an area on the bluff with park amenities including picnic tables, hammocks and a future tower (see attached park concept plan). The concept park plan was reviewed by City Council on December 7, 2021.

A professional services agreement was previously executed with Confluence on May 3, 2022 for this scope of work but Confluence has canceled that contract due to not being able to deliver the project. SRF was a sub-consultant on the previous contract and city staff has met with their team and determined they have the capacity to deliver the project.

City staff needs assistance from a design consultant to complete the design and in-construction services. City staff have worked with SRF to develop a scope of work and professional services agreement needed to deliver this work. SRF has the technical skill, experience and capacity to provide the needed services and is a consultant in the city's consultant pool. The attached Professional Services Agreement authorizes and describes the scope and fee for their work on this project.
