infrastructure, such as roads, trails, observation blinds, etc. The draft plan will
also delineate areas that will be developed for upland habitat, freshwater wetland
habitat, salt marsh habitat, other special habitat, and transition zones. The plan
will incorporate existing features to show compatibility in the design.
Project Review:

meet with the City to discuss new ideas, changes, recommendations, and other
issues relevant to the development and finalization of the plan.
Final Master Plan
Once CESI has received all comments and requests for changes to the Master

the Baytown Nature Center:
1. Master Plan Services: Professional shall develop a master plan to enhance existing
beneficial park features, provide safer and easier access to the more remote areas of the

provides a guideline for future development.
3. Documentation: Professional will provide five copies of the master plan and any other
pertinent project information.
