The City of Monrovia is engaged in an exciting process of renewal to further enhance its position as one of the premier municipalities in the nation. We are looking for unique partners to join our team as we look to renovate one of our beloved neighborhood parks.
The City is requesting proposals from qualified firms or consultants (Consultant) to provide site planning, civil engineering, landscape design, preparation of plans and specifications, and construction cost estimates for the renovation to Lucinda Garcia Park. The City has secured $1.1 Million for the project construction.
Purpose
The proposed park renovations includes an expansion to the existing park as well as construction of two new playgrounds, enhances park walkways and fitness equipment, new interpretive gardens, and entry sign monument. Lucida Garcia Park was last renovated well over 40 year ago and much of the play equipment and walkways have outlived their useful life or are in need of significant repairs. The Park has many established trees on site which will need to be protected throughout the project. In addition, the City has received competitive grant funding for the project and as a result there are several required deliverables in the final design.
