The city of Denver just handed a four-year, $2.5 million contract to Matrix Design Group, Inc., granting the firm the authority to shape landscapes and plans for projects stretching from the downtown core to the far reaches of the metro area.

This agreement, approved in the 80201 ZIP code, authorizes the firm to provide landscape architecture, planning, and design services without a specific project list attached to the initial filing. The deal includes a one-year option for extension, effectively locking in the firm's services through 2030 if the city exercises that clause.

Identified as contract PARKS-202683509, the approval bypasses the need for individual bids on future tasks, allowing city departments to tap into Matrix's expertise immediately. While the notice does not detail specific construction sites or park renovations, the scope covers citywide initiatives, meaning residents could see this firm's work in everything from neighborhood pocket parks to major infrastructure corridors.

Civic leaders and residents concerned with how these funds are deployed can attend public meetings related to this matter at Denver City Hall. The city has made the contract details available for review via the Denver City Clerk's portal at https://denver.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=56779.
