The cost of the plaque's design and construction was not included in the original contract with the consultant, however. the administration id6031t IL dtassid City lvtatiaget (fartrnet) directed the consultant to specify and design an exact location for the plaque and provide a schematic of what it might appear like. The consultant did provide a sketch of what the plaque might look like but this will, of course, have to be redesigned to incorporate mention of the City and the official name of the park as Paul S. Walker Park. Because the setting for the plaque is in the front wall of the park and has already been constructed, and because the park is of such prominent location and urban nature, the plaque must therefore conform to certain dimensions and character, We would advise that the most appropriate material for its construction would he in bronze. A draft resolution has been prepared for your review and forwarding to the Law Department which would incorporate all of the above cited extra expenses on the park. As a point of information, the agreement with the Bureau of Blind Services has been executed by them and has been returned to Bob Homan for execution by the City. The contract does not require purchase of park furniture (tables and chairs) by the Bureau, however, they have agreed to purchase the number and type specified. per the enclosed photo and attachment.
