site, this project will serve as a model to our citizens. It will exhibit what is available in drought tolerant plants and
water conserving landscapes, as well as the attractive end result. A plant identification map will be placed on the site
for informational purposes and identification of all xeriscape plants. The final identification system is yet to be
designed and will be subject to plant availability. In addition to the contract amount, $12,000 is requested for contract
contingencies and the final identification system and miscellaneous project items.
