SUBMITTED BY:

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:

The City of Yakima (City) desires for the beautification and restoration of the two islands along Naches Parkway south of Yakima Avenue.  Over the past few years, damage to the irrigation system and landscaping of the two islands have occurred on multiple occassions; costing the Parks & Rec Division a significant amount of funds to repair/replace.  In order to properly maintain the two islands, it has been determined that fencing of the islands has become necessary.  

 

The City went out to bid for the Naches Avenue Parkway Fencing Project and selected Cortez Fencing.  Cortez Fencing will install new decorative fencing and landscaping rock around the two islands along Naches Ave. from Yakima Ave. to Walnut St. The attached Agreement with Cortez Fencing is in an amount not to exceed $194,940 and will be funded utilizing REET Funds.
