CITY OF EVERETT STREETSCAPE EVALUATION Agreement with Perteet Inc. July 2019 EXHIBIT"A" SCOPE OF WORK PERTEET INC. EVERETT STREETSCAPE EVALUATION PROJECT UNDERSTANDING The City of Everett adopted the Downtown Everett Streetscape Plan under Council Resolution 6106 in 2009. Since that time many components of the plan have been implemented.Plant containers and hanging flower baskets are mentioned as street furnishings in the plan but the locations,concentrations,and frequency of these features is not expressly designated in the plan for implementation,operations,and maintenance. In the current streetscape condition,some areas of the downtown have high concentrations of seasonal flower containers and baskets while other locations have less of these specific furnishings. Issues: • Disproportionate and somewhat random concentrations(areas of very high and low concentrations) with clusters of plant containers and hanging baskets. • High concentrations of planters at some locations are constricting public pedestrian access. • Crime Prevention through Environmental Design(CPTED)is not being followed where planters exceed 3 feet in height and are clustered together. • Planters are used exclusively for spring/summer seasonal flower color and lack winter interest and can be visually detracting in winter when seasonal flowers are removed. • Irrigation of planters is inconsistent—some are on automatic irrigation and most are not. • Some planters are obscuring public art. • Many plant containers are not as specified in the Streetscape Plan but the lower height containers could be used more effectively at some intersections to provide refuge location for pedestrians at busy intersections. • Curb bulb planters have majority areas of bare mulch and are not being effectively utilized for year-round groundcover and perennial color interest. • Lack of an implementation plan to designate container and basket locations. • Lack of designation of city vs.private party seasonal flower and planting areas to memorialize who maintains what. Task 1 —Assistance for City to Prepare/Edit Streetscape Inventory Drawings. Perteet will assist the City of Everett to prepare a CAD drawing set from existing CAD files to better demarcate an illustrate items related to the key project issues. Perteet has been provided with existing conditions CAD files for the streetscape that need to be verified and partially modified by the City to better depict the current physical conditions and constraints of the streetscape and to add a few features relevant to improving the design placement of plant containers and hanging baskets.To assist in this effort,the Perteet Landscape Architect will work with Everett Parks to devise an inventory protocol for hand sketching corrections on printouts of the provided CAD drawings and for the City to make CAD drawing modifications to create a simplified schematic inventory drawing set. Sketching and inventory work will occur by Everett Parks staff.After inventory sketches are produced by Everett Parks,CAD corrections will be completed by Everett Parks to graphically simplify and more cleanly/clearly present the existing locations of containers and baskets in the context of the urban streetscape and in spatial association to street trees,public art locations, bike racks,trash receptacles,recycling receptacles,seat walls,above-ground utility boxes,and light poles. To assist in this effort,the Perteet Landscape Architect will 1 File location: C:\Users\janice.kramer\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\OBPZAYT5\Everett Strectscape Scope of ServicesAugust 29 2019 Revised.doc
