About this file

Written by GovTribe AI · Jul 1, 2025

The document is a schematic design drawing for the Lytton Plaza Fountain Modifications project, involving the Friends of Lytton Plaza and the City of Palo Alto in California. The project scope includes replacing existing fountain grate covers with new custom grates manufactured by Urban Accessories, specifically 30 rectangular basin grate covers measuring 17" x 18" and 2 custom triangular fountain niche grate covers. The design drawings, prepared by Guzzardo Partnership Landscape Architects, specify nickel bronze grates with a brushed finish, standard pedestrian traffic load rating, and anti-theft bolts. Contractors are required to verify all existing dimensions and attachment points on-site before fabrication.

The project requires precise field measurements and coordination, with specific instructions for contractors to protect existing construction and work under qualified supervision. The grates will be installed on an existing concrete fountain catch basin with embedded cobblestone, maintaining the current site topology. The procurement process is part of the City of Palo Alto's Request For Quotes (RFQ194319) for the Community Services Department, with the intent to issue a General Services Agreement for fountain grate replacement. No specific pricing details or funding sources are explicitly outlined in the provided documentation.
