The requested funding amount is based on pricing received through the City's Job Order Contracting process and includes sales tax, fees, and a construction contingency. This project is included in the CIP-3 financial model. Project summary statement: The City purchased the Madison -Morgan property at 528 Madison Street using Snohomish County Conservation Futures program funds in 2010. In 2011 the City cleaned up the property and made minor improvements. Since 2017 Parks staff have attended several meetings with the Evergreen and View Ridge Neighborhood groups to solicit input and formulate a list of general park improvements. Also, since 2017, the city has purchased the adjacent property to the West at 518 Madison Street again utilizing Snohomish County Conservation Futures program funds. The City has razed the house at 518 Madison Street and the rest of the lot is native vegetation that abuts the 528 Madison Street property's native vegetation. The plan Parks staff has come up with in coordination with the neighborhood groups is to make a complete nature trail that encircles this whole block of native vegetation in the 518 and 528 Madison Street properties. In addition, we are adding picnic benches, a central meeting area, clearing invasive underbrush, and adding native plantings with interpretive signs. Other improvements to the park will be trail bollards and fence repair on the South side of the property line. Another use of the funds will be renovations to the residence that is located within the park to bring it to a rentable state. Anticipated completion of the improvements is the fourth quarter of 2021. Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): Adopt an Ordinance creating the special construction fund entitled "Madison Morgan Park Improvements", Fund 354 Program 063, to accumulate the construction costs in the amount of $315,000.
