In this case, the corridor limits extend from 43rd Avenue to U.S.1. The <br /> design is intended to implement an improvement and beautification project that has appeared in the <br /> CIP(Capital Improvements Plan)for a number of years. Currently,the County has$350,000 in the <br /> C I P for the project. <br /> On November 5, 2013, the County issued a work order under a continuing services contract with <br /> Kimley-Horn to perform design work consistent with the$25,000 DEO grant. As part of the Gifford <br /> Neighborhood Plan 2014 update, staff and Kimley-Horn coordinated with Gifford residents and <br /> received input on initial design plans. Based on that input, staff has determined that additional <br /> design work is needed to provide for additional future improvements that may be grant-eligible. To <br /> provide for that additional design work, a work order amendment is needed. <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> Since approval of the November work order, Kimley-Horn has performed design work on the <br /> streetscape design project,coordinated with staff,and attended a meeting with Gifford residents. To <br /> date,Kimley-Horn has provided conceptual,modified,and final streetscape design plans needed to <br /> meet DEO design grant obligations.Based on community input,staff proposes to expand the original <br /> F.\CommLin ity Development\Gifford Plan\DEO TA grant for 45th street 2013\Amended work order-Kimley Horn-45th Street streetscape 1 <br /> improvements.doc <br /> 19 <br />
