Vernon Avenue and Mill Street. Development Department staff has worked with Richard Pope, Landscape Architect who serves in a consultant capacity for the City, and Mr. Michael Gantes, Vice President and Administrative Assistant to the President of FEDCO, Inc., to assess the landscape needs at FEDCO and on the other three corners of Mt. Vernon Avenue and Mill Street. Staff has also worked with the Director of the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department to standardize landscaping features throughout the intersection and the adjoining parcel frontages, to achieve the most positive visual impact and to maintain consistency. The activities and cost estimates are as follows: LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS - PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY: Prepare landscape construction irrigation and planting plans, details, and specifications for the landscape area 20' behind the right-of-way at the FEDCO store site located at the southwest corner of Mill Street and Mt. Vernon Avenue. The landscape area is approximately 6,540 square feet. Prepare landscape construction site plan, irrigation and planting plan details, and specifications for the landscape area at parkways on the east side of Mt. Vernon Avenue and north side of Mill Street where they front FEDCO property. The landscape area is approximately 6,550 square feet. (Coordination with individual property owners, if desired, will be provided under separate contract.) Prepare landscape construction cost estimates. The landscape architect's fee for professional services rendered was $4,300.00. The construction costs for landscape improvements in the public right-of-way have been estimated at $67,728.00 for the FEDCO side of the street and at $27,739.00 for across the street from FEDCO as indicated on site plans the architect has submitted. Staff has determined that the improvements to the public right-of-way and twenty (20) feet into the building setback could be undertaken through the 50/50 Landscape Program. The City's share for one half of the cost of the improvements ($95,467) would be approximately $47,734.00. The cost of the landscape architect's fee ($4,300) would be paid from the 50/50 Landscape Program. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KJH:DAD:lmp:0358q COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA Meeting Date: 05/18/1992 2J Agenda Item Number: REQUEST FOR COMM[SSIOB'~OUBCIL ACTIOB FEDCO Landscape and Ot.. .c Iapro'lem.ents May 12, 1992 Page Number -2- LANDSCAPE IMPROVUlI5lf.[S - FBDCO PARnRG LOT: The landscape architect has been working with FEDCO to accomplish the following: Prepare landscape construction, irrigation and planting plans, details, and specifications for the on-site landscape area at the interior of the parking lot.

Number: 2> REQUEST FOR COMM[SSION 'URCIL ACTION FED CO Landscape and Oth__r Improvements May 12, 1992 Page Number -3- UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES: Development Department staff has worked with the Edison Company to prepare an Order of Magnitude cost estimate to underground utilities at Mt. Vernon Avenue and Mill Street. Edison has determined that the cost would be $2,119,059 for transmission, distribution and telecommunications facilities, along with the real property cost. The estimate did not include costs for coordinating the relocation along with any additional costs stemming from land related engineering costs. The project would require 18 months lead time for the procurement of cable and tubular steel riser poles and an additional seven (7) months for actual construction. Ed Butterworth, President of FEDCO, has worked with staff regarding the terms and conditions for undergrounding of the utilities. Due to the cost associated with the undergrounding of utilities, staff recommends that the undergrounding of utilities not be funded at this time. As to the landscaping and beautification component of this project related to the Fedco parking lot, staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
