recommendation
I move the Mayor and Council authorize the City Administrator enter into an agreement with Bradley Site Design, Inc for the design, engineering, and permitting the Trolley Trail Head Park (known as The Spot) for an expenditure not to exceed $130,000, pending legal review. The project will be funded using grant funding and ARPA funding. The Treasurer is authorized to make the necessary budget amendment required to encumber the funds authorized.

Summary Background:
In the Fall of 2023, The Neighborhood Design Center presented their concept design for the City owned parcels at the intersection of Hamilton St and the Rhode Island Ave Trolley Trail, a portion of which is currently called “The Spot”. This concept was created after months of public input and hundreds of comments received in person or digitally. Staff contacted several landscape and/or engineering design firms to solicit proposals to turn the concept into engineered drawings sufficient to apply for required Prince George’s County permits as well as solicit the construction.
Next Steps:
Issue purchase order and begin the project.
Fiscal Impact:
NTE $130,000
City Administrator Comments:
Recommend support.
Community Engagement:
There will be additional opportunities for the public to provide comments during the engineering and design process.
