The current Capital Improvement Program shows over $6,000,000 in Parks and Beaches Development scheduled through 2010, with projects anticipated to be added throughout the term. Proposals for Landscape Architecture Services were requested and submitted in compliance with Chapter 3.03 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code. Seventeen proposals were received and the top three qualified firms were selected for use on an as-needed basis to give the city the ability to submit proposals for development projects within the city's park system and coastal zones, including new development, refurbishing, building design, and environmental cleanup. Public Works, Community Services, and Purchasing were involved in the selection of these 'professional services consultants. The contracts allow for a three- year contract term with a total budget not to exceed $250,000 for each vendor. This will allow use of each vendor's area of expertise and availability to be utilized as needed for scheduled and upcoming projects. Funding sources will be the project accounts, using the City Council approved Capital Improvement Project budget. In general, the scope of work for landscape architecture firms may involve all phases of a development project. The following scope of work identifies the typical services provided throughout a project: Preliminary Plans and Design Prepare alternative preliminary layouts, surveying, architectural services, and estimates of probable cost for alternatives, and prepare details and calculations. Present alternatives, as needed at staff and/or City Council meetings, and provide recommendations and analyses of the advantages of each alternative: Entitlements/Permits As a primary consultant, assist the city in obtaining entitlements and approvals from applicable agencies for environmental and/or other permits as may be required.. Construction Documents Prepare designs, plans, specifications, cost estimates and contract bidding documents.

Prepare "as-built" drawings. In addition to the services listed above, through the use of sub-consultants or in-house personnel, Landscape architect firms may be required to perform environmental assessments, civil and soils engineering and building architecture. Given the breadth of services required, it is customary to have available more than one qualified landscape architecture firm to provide specific areas of expertise and to accommodate scheduling issues. Each consultant, as part of its submittal package, provided a list of hourly rates for the various members of its consultant team, i.e., associate engineer, principal engineer, etc., so that the city can confirm that these rates are reasonable and customary. The city then has the option of selecting one of these firms to consult on a project. The attached contracts are necessary to go forward with FY06/07 capital projects as approved by City Council Progress on the current projects is contingent upon approval of these professional services contracts. Examples of past city projects which have utilized landscape architecture firms as lead consultants include; + Pier Plaza • South Beach, Phases I and 11 • Huntington Central Park Sports Complex • Murdy Park Youth Sports Complex, Phase l Community Services related projects on the currently approved Capital Improvement Program that will require landscape architectural services include: • Edison Sports Complex, Phase L • Le Bard Park, Phase 11 • Tot Lot Resurfacing • Wardlow Park Reconfiguration Environmental Status: Not applicable.

Our firm specializes in the preparation of community based neighborhood and regional parks, recreation facilities and assisting 4 the community in transforming that vision into realty. RJM's staff consists of experienced planners,landscape architects and architects, familiar with the needs of the City of Huntington Beach. The design of recreation facilities:that"fit"within the context of the site is a specialty of our team. Specific design elements should respond to accessibility, safety standards, the existing site character, and long term maintenance concerns. The general site development of the park will contribute to a cohesive "sense of place" and a common focus for future recreation needs in the community. 1� ' Our mission is to assist the community in the planning and design of ' recreation facilities that enhance the quality of life for its users and visitors. We believe good design is the physical expression of sound w ideas,imagination and creativity. We are committed to the principal of teamwork and collaboration. Our performance can best be measured by our long-standing client relationships and the professional recognition of numerous awards given by our peers. 2, Methodology The potential exists for an interactive design process that integrates City staff, and consultant expertise in developing and refining the improvements design concepts.A comprehensive design process is critical in order to ensure that the subsequent development activities are coordinated and responsive in meeting the current and future agency requirements and the establishment of a successful landscape environment. Our firm offers a comprehensive approach to preparing the landscape architectural concepts for various projects for the City of Huntington Beach.This approach is based upon past involvement in the successful completion of numerous park and recreational projects. The approach incorporates techniques which we have used successfully on similar projects including extensive coordination with project engineers and the City Staff and integration of their expertise into the design process. Coordination With City Staff RJM Design Group, Inc. has directed many interdisciplinary planning and design projects. We have found that teamwork and close coordination between the client,consultants and public agencies is essential to a successful project. We recognize that the Design Team will be responsible for ensuring a high degree of coordination occurs and that project milestones are met. A major priority of the Design Team will be to establish a regular dialogue with the City Staff and interested parties so that our products reflect project goals and City policies. Project Management The importance of these projects demands an organizational framework that focuses specialists in varied disciplines towards one common goal. Our Design Team has been specially selected from the best talent available. Our approach to this project is based on a strong relationship be- tween the Team Members and a thorough understanding of the requirements to guide projects to successful completion. We suggest working with a`representative from the City (Project Manager) that will form the conduit through which all project information is exchanged and relayed to the Design Team. It is the responsibility of our Design Team Leader to ensure that the Team is moving efficiently in the right direction in accordance with these projects requirements and the desires of the City. 1 m a wa a y � r Lake Forest Nature Park 3 Lake Forest,CA Methodology Community Forums and Workshops We have developed a process that combines our planning and design expertise with the talents and knowledge of City Staff together with the insight and passion of the diverse regional community. We strongly believe that this approach will add depth and vision to the overall plan and serve to insure its long-term success. The Design Team suggests a program of workshops to clarify the vision for the project, establish project goals, review alternative plans and obtain community comment and support.We propose to work closely with City Staff to organize and further define the approach to be used in this element of the design process so as to tailor it specifically to the needs of the City of Huntington Beach. The workshop process encourages involvement of diverse groups including members of youth and adult sports organizations, as well as more passive oriented members of the community and allows them to interact together and familiarize each other as to their likes,, dislikes, concerns,and fears. A properly designed workshop process with City Staff will ensure that opportunities for review and comment occur at the appropriate stage in the design process. Design Alternatives The'Design Team has found that alternative plans are developed more s efficiently through a systematic process of .concept development, interdisciplinary review/critique and refinement. Our Team is structured to frequent dialogue among the City Staff and Design Team Members is a dynamic and "effective way to structure'efficient design concepts. This process results .in rapid consensus on the major components of alternative plans. The proposed design solutions will provide for integrated adherence to currentADA.requirements. r � 4. II.
