Bring Back the Boulevard is a group of private business owners who have banded together to make some improvements on the Boulevard including the new sign down by Frito Lay

 

They approached us to partner on the upcoming Project on Topeka 21st to 29th . Within our existing scope and fee of the design contract we were able to come up with some concept plans so they can raise the funding for improvements such as planting and flags that are outside of the scope of our construction budget.  I have attached the email with the concept plans and cost estimates  If they can raise money we will enter into a development agreement with them and will include the items in the project and then they will pay for those items.

 

The only other thing I am aware of is public works agreed to provide the electricity for the lighting for the new sign down by Frito Lay—emails attached

 

They periodically make requests for other help.  Utilities said no to the meter and we did now mow for them this past year—emails attached
