Re: Request for Approval of Contract with Meena Gyawali
Using funding aside as for the implementation of the Riverfront TIF before you is a contract for
the services of Meena Gyawali an experienced economic development professional who will help
implement the TIF plan on a temporary basis.
The contract before you outlines a six-month duration, but in all actuality may be less. The scope
of work is to focus our collective energies and efforts on issuing an RFQ and awarding a contract
for design services to a multi- disciplinary firm that will design and implement key projects
outlined in the Downtown Riverfront Master plan - including a Riverwalk project. There may be
other ancillary related projects such as assisting the procurement of landscaping services, invasive
species removal and other projects that will help advance the implementation of the TIF plan.
1 am recommending approval of this $22,000 contract.
