Dear Sharon:
The following is a proposed scope of work for Project for Public Spaces related to the
renovation and enhancement of the Bovd Par1Jlvluscuin Complex and the development
of a Master Plan, with special attention as to how the museum and expansion of the
museum can improve the use and activities taking place within the park as well as increase
museum use.
In general, PPS would assist you in developing a conceptual design astd program of uses
for Boyd Park and in this capacity proposes to undertake the following specific tasks.
SCOPIC: OF SERVICES
Phase I
1. First Communitv Mectinst. Monday. Mareli_l l _ 1996
Facilitators: Fled Kent and Kathy Madders
We have found that involving people early on in a project, during the planning and
concept development phases, coming to understand their concerns, and getting
their input and ideas, encourages their long-term participation in and support of the
pro i ect.
Before and in preparation for the community tneeting to be held the evening of
March 11, PPS will participate in meetings with Recreation Stafi'and community
groups the same afternoon. .PPS and Staff also will tour the project site, gather
data, review maps, and meet with representatives of the Museum,
1'he purpose of the Community Meeting will be to:
• Brainstorm opportunities and constraints for the whole site
• Identify potential park users
• Discuss goals and opportunities for museum/park integration
• Assign tasks:
• Group observatiuns in the park
• 'Palk to park users/conduct interviews
• Visit Golden Crate Park and the Fxploratorium to study the
relatiunship between institutions and park land
2. Second,Community_ Meeting, first.week of April_ 1996
• Synthesize information; PPS to present slides and ideas
• Small group discussions to develop ideas based upon observations
• Create diagrammatic layout of proposed park uses, elements and amenities
• Identify areas that need detailed designs and additional PPS rendering (i.e.
tennis court transition to park and or museum entry to upper park)
Products and Outcomes
1. Written description of concept and program for park development with phases
and cost estimates.
2. Master Plan layout of park elements.
3, Color rendering showing character and concept of specific areas (further
discussed during Phase 1).
4. Hollow up of plans and specifications for those park phases which are identified as
a priority through the plmnv ng process.
Fee
The fee for both phases of work and production of products and outcomes would be
$12,000 plus expenses. if the above meets with your approval, please sign both copies
and retain one for your records.
Yours sincerely, tt
