ITEM SUMMARY

To approve an expenditure for landscape architect professional services for Windhaven Park Renovation, Project No. PKR-P-00065, in the amount of $209,150 from Dunaway Associates, LLC for the Parks and Recreation Department; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. Approved

BACKGROUND

The Windhaven Park Renovation Project will provide landscape architect professional services for park improvements in accordance with the Windhaven Park Master Plan created through community outreach and completed in June 2025. Design services for this location have been identified in the 24-25 and 25-26 CIP and are the next step in the project delivery process after completion of the master plan. These design services include geotechnical investigation, construction and site plans, bidding, and construction administration.

 

The existing playground was installed in 1996 and ranks high in replacement priority based on conditional assessment and repair frequency. Planned improvements include two new playgrounds, separated by age group and each with an integral shade structure, a pavilion, a realigned loop trail with fitness nodes, a drinking fountain with a pet bowl, enhanced seating and lighting, drainage improvements, renovated irrigation, and tree planting.

 

The Parks and Recreation Department recommends approval of an expenditure in the amount of $209,150 for landscape architect professional services from Dunaway Associates, LLC for Windhaven Park Renovation. Dunaway Associates, LLC was deemed the most qualified based on their Statement of Qualifications submission for RFQ No. 2021-0380-XR and their past efforts in master planning and community engagement for the Windhaven Park Master Plan in 2024-25.

 

The benefits of this project include updated and code-compliant playground equipment and trails, as well as increased service delivery to the community by meeting needs identified as unmet in the master plan. If this project is not approved, design services will not proceed, and the project will not move forward, leaving aging infrastructure identified for replacement in place.

 

Future action for this location includes the award of construction contract upon completion of park improvement plans.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY/STRATEGIC GOALS

Funding for this item is available in the 2024-25 Capital Maintenance Fund and is planned for future years as well.  Consultant professional services for the Windhaven Park Renovation project in the total amount of $209,150 will leave a current year balance of $10,600 for future expenditures.

 

Approval of this item will support the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of being an Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
