Ordinance amending the FY 2019/2020 Cemetery Operating Fund in the amount of $35,700 for engineering and architectural design services for existing decorative wall repair and construction of new wall for Phase II Expansion at Grand Prairie Memorial Gardens Cemetery and Mausoleum

Analysis
The existing decorative wall that extends along the east side of Grand Prairie Memorial Gardens adjacent to W. Creek Lane is suffering from multiple failing supports and is in need of repair. Additionally, as Grand Prairie Memorial Gardens opens Phase II that continues further south along the same boundary an extension of the existing decorative wall to replace the hurricane fencing is recommended.
Once the design is completed and construction elements determined, staff will solicit proposals/bids for the repair, construction and completion of the requested elements. The award of the repair and construction elements for Grand Prairie Memorial Gardens wall repair and extension will be brought forward for Council consideration at a future date.
The item was presented to the Finance and Government Committee on August 4, 2020 for their review and approval.
Financial Consideration
Funding for a professional services contract, in the amount of $35,700, is available by approving an ordinance transferring and appropriating from the unobligated fund balance in the Cemetery Operating Fund (3190)
