Task 1: Coordination and Conceptual Design Prior to commencing the design work, the MLA Project Manager will meet with the City in order to establish the design program and budget for the project. Typically, this is coordinated through review of the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), existing maintenance budget and input from adjacent property owners. Using this information, MLA will develop a preliminary concept plan to graphically depict potential improvements that can be implemented within budget, while meeting the needs of the City and its residents. Based upon the approved conceptual design, the City and MLA will establish a scope and schedule for the desired improvements. This schedule would take into consideration grant application deadlines, City fiscal year expenditure requirements, and resident expectations. Typically, for this type of project, MLA's schedules include a 50% and 100% review of the design documents. The actual review process will also be developed as part of this Task. ITask 2: Planting Design l 1 MLA's project staff will conduct a field review to verify field conditions with the City Project Manager. During this field review, MLA will document and locate existing trees and vegetation within the project limit. Should existing trees be impacted or removed as part of the roadway enhancement, a tree survey will be conducted and a tree removal /relocation license will be applied for. Upon completion of the survey, MLA will quantify the critical tree conditions and proceed through the permitting process. MLA will prepare computer generated base plans using base maps and information provided by the City and supplemented by field verification of above - ground visible physical features within the right -of -way. MLA will then develop a planting design for the project that will improve the aesthetics and complement the adjacent existing developed areas by maximizing the use of existing median trees and incorporating new plant installations. Landscape items to be addressed in the design will include trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and sod areas. The planting design documents will include plans, details, quantities, notes, and size specifications for the installation of the proposed landscaping.
