CITY COUNCIL MEMO
THRU: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
Peter Nierengarten, Environmental Director
Molly Rawn, Experience Fayetteville Executive Director
FROM: Leif Olson, Long Range Planner
DATE: May 29, 2019
SUBJECT: Resolution of intent to work with Experience Fayetteville on developing a
scope of work and contract for the creation and ultimate implementation of
a programming, marketing, and operations and maintenance plan for the
public spaces being designed and constructed in the Cultural Arts Corridor
project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approving a resolution for City staff to work with Experience Fayetteville to
develop a programming, marketing, and operations and maintenance scope of work and
contract for the public spaces being designed and constructed in the Cultural Arts Corridor
project.
BACKGROUND:
The Cultural Arts Corridor project will be a transformative change for downtown Fayetteville. It
will provide opportunities for a wide variety of programmed and un -programed events, activities
and learning opportunities. The Fay Jones Woodland will incorporate sustainable stormwater
elements, woodland restoration with native plant materials, nature trails and viewing platforms,
locations for acoustic performances, opportunities for visual arts, streambank restoration and
informal gathering areas. The Civic Space and West Avenue improvements will provide
opportunities for informal gatherings as well as programmed events and festivals.
The City's landscape design consultant, Nelson Byrd Woltz (NBW), is currently working on final
design development and construction documents for the major components of the Cultural Arts
Corridor project including; the Fay Jones Woodland, Razorback Regional Greenway,
streetscape design for West Avenue, and the West Avenue Civic Space. The Design
Development phase of the project is scheduled to be completed in the early fall of 2019.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2020 for the Fay Jones Woodland and
the adjacent trails and streetscapes. Construction on the West Avenue Civic Space will begin in
2021 upon the completion of a new downtown parking deck and the Fay Jones Woodland and
associated projects.

DISCUSSION:
It is important to begin planning now for the long-term management and operation of these
public spaces through a comprehensive and holistic approach. This includes; the naming and
marketing of the district, the development of the organizational assets for the programming and
operations of the Fay Jones Woodland and the West Avenue Civic Space, and the development
of a long-term operations and maintenance plan. NBW and City staff believe that the Design
Development phase of the project this summer is the opportune time to include the entity
charged with programming these spaces on the design team to provide insight and feedback as
the project progresses.
This resolution will enable staff to begin working with Experience Fayetteville to develop a scope
of work for the programming, marketing, operations and maintenance aspect of the project and
the drafting of a contract for these services. Funding for the planning, design, implementation
and maintenance of the elements identified in the scope of work will be requested through a
negotiated contract to be approved by the City Council at a future date.
