SUBJECT: View Street Extension

Background

Earlier this year the city acquired a strip of land to serve as right-of-way for the construction of a connector
on View Street. Currently, View Street terminates on each side of this new right-of-way but with the
construction of the connector it will become a through street. The construction will be no more than one

city block and funding for both the design and construction of the connector was approved in the FY26
budget.

Because the city has an existing working relationship with Gresham Smith for this type of service, the city’s
purchasing policy allows us to negotiate a professional services agreement with them to provide design

services for this project. We have requested and received a proposal from them for design services, and
| have attached it to this email for your consideration.

Action Needed

Motion by the City Council approving execution of the proposal from Gresham Smith for design services
related to the View Street connector.
