Asa continuation of this work, MIG will provide design guidelines and the preliminary design for Lodi Avenue, from Central Avenue to Cherokee Lane. This phase includes substantial community involvement.

City Engineering staff will prepare conceptual level construction cost estimates for the preferred preliminary design. Staff recommends MIG be retained under a professional services agreement to provide the design guidelines and preliminary design. The agreement and accompanying scope of services are provided as Attachment A. After MIG completes their work, staff will presentthe design conceptsto City Councilfor approval. The next phase will be to prepare the plans, specifications, and detailed cost estimates.
