Professional Services Agreement (page A-1) B. Richard Fisher Associates proposal: May 3, 2016, 2016 (page B-1) C. Negotiated Cost Proposal (page C-1) BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: On September 1, 2015, the City Council directed Staff to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Ladera Linda Park Master Plan. The September 1, 2015, Staff report noted that the Ladera Linda Community Center received an overall infrastructure score of "F" (FAIL) in a 2013 Infrastructure Report Card prepared by SA Associates, an engineering firm hired to assess the current condition of existing public structures in the City. This is the same criterion used by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) when grading infrastructure. In 2005, the Open Space Planning and Recreation and Parks Task Force recommended either demolition or extensive remodeling of the buildings at Ladera Linda. The FY15-16 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) notes that "the City Hall buildings and Ladera Linda Community Center buildings are the best examples of buildings that are in great need of renovation to meet organizational needs, comply with safety and code requirements, and comply with all Americans with Disabilities (ADA) guidelines." The 1 CIP has allocated $4,000,000 for the Ladera Linda Park and Community Center Buildings Replacement Project FY18-19. The full -cost of the project is estimated at $7,200,000. Attendees at two Ladera Linda public workshops on November 12, 2014, and January 21, 2015 (part of the Parks Master Plan Update process), expressed strong support for a new community center at Ladera Linda. Demolition of the existing buildings and the building of a new community center at Ladera Linda were part of the Parks Master Plan Update that was approved by City Council on October 6, 2015. On October 19, 2015, Staff issued RFPs to design firms for the creation of a Ladera Linda Parks Master Plan. Seven firms submitted proposals. Upon review of the proposals, Staff made some adjustments to the original RFP to reduce the overall scope due primarily to cost and logistical considerations. The updated scope of work included the following major elements: Site/Analysis Assessment o Phase I site analysis o Topographic site survey o Architectural assessment o Summary of project issues, opportunities and constraints Community Outreach and Public Participation o Meetings with community groups, neighbors, homeowners associations, stakeholders, and Staff o Public Forum Meeting Development of a Master Plan o Needs Assessment and public outreach o Minimum of 3 design alternatives o One preferred alternative Proposals were to address a plan to design and develop low-cost, durable, accessible and attractive park facilities that took into account view considerations; water -smart design and energy efficiency; incorporation of a Sheriff's/Park Ranger's office; parking and traffic impacts; ADA accessibility; neighborhood impacts; security; landscaping; and Preserve access. The updated RFP was issued on April 21, 2016, and resulted in submissions from the following five companies: • Gonzalez/Goodale Architects • Richard Fischer Associates (RFA) • La Canada Design Group • Johnson Favarro • MIG Following Staff review of the submitted proposals, RFA and Gonzalez/Goodale were interviewed. A panel consisting of Public Works and Recreation and Parks Staff, along with a representative from the Ladera Linda Homeowners Association, interviewed each 2 firm on May 17 and 18, 2016. Representatives from both firms were asked about their level of expertise and experience on similar projects, their approach to developing an understanding of the project's key issues and challenges, their knowledge of community issues, and their understanding and ability to incorporate a low-key community feeling into the process. RFA was the unanimous selection of the panel. Staff then negotiated the cost of services with RFA which resulted in a proposal of $103,700, which includes a not -to -exceed amount of $10,000 for reimbursable expenses. During negotiations, an environmental site analysis was removed from the scope of work. It was agreed upon that this element could be performed during a subsequent design phase. The only other significant negotiated change was reducing the number of alternative designs from three to two. The negotiated cost proposal is provided as Attachment C. RFA is a full-service firm that has completed well over a hundred park master plan and development projects. Their proposal meets the City's RFP requirements. Staff's believes that RFA has the required talent and experience with similarly -scoped projects to conduct and complete a successful master plan process for Ladera Linda Park. The project schedule to develop the Master Plan is approximately thirty-four (34) weeks in duration, and if approved, RFA could commence work immediately. ALTERNATIVES: In addition to the recommended actions, the City Council may consider the following alternative: Direct Staff to further reduce the proposed scope of work, which would result in further savings. It is important to note that this action would take additional time and result in delays to the project. 9 CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT By and Between CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES and Richard Fisher Associates for LADERA LINDA COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLAN A-1 AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES AND RICHARD FISHER ASSOCIATES, LTD.

Consultant shall not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer. (b) Consultant, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, shall not, without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer or unless requested by the City Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered "voluntary" provided Consultant gives City notice of such court order or subpoena. (c) If Consultant, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Consultant, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Consultant for any damages, costs and fees, including attorneys fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Consultant's conduct. (d) Consultant shall promptly notify City should Consultant, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed there under. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response. ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION 7.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California. 7.2 Disputes; Default. In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not A-13 reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant's default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City's legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement. 7.3 Retention of Funds. Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant's acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant's obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein. 7.4 Waiver. Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non -defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party. 7.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement. A-14 7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days' written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non -terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2. 7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant. If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. 7.9 Attorneys' Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees. Attorney's fees shall include attorney's fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney's fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. ARTICLE 8. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION 8.1 Non-liabili . of City Officers and Employees. No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which A-15 may become due to the Consultant or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement. 8.2 Conflict of Interest. Consultant covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of City or which would in any way hinder Consultant's performance of services under this Agreement. Consultant further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor without the express written consent of the Contract Officer. Consultant agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of any conflicts of interest with the interests of City in the performance of this Agreement. No officer or employee of the City shall have any financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement nor shall any such officer or employee participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which affects her/his financial interest or the financial interest of any corporation, partnership or association in which (s)he is, directly or indirectly, interested, in violation of any State statute or regulation. The Consultant warrants that it has not paid or given and will not pay or give any third party any money or other consideration for obtaining this Agreement. 8.3 Covenant Against Discrimination. Consultant covenants that, by and for itself, its heirs, executors, assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry or other protected class in the performance of this Agreement. Consultant shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry or other protected class. 8.4 Unauthorized Aliens. Consultant hereby promises and agrees to comply with all of the provisions of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.A. §§ 1101, et seq., as amended, and in connection therewith, shall not employ unauthorized aliens as defined therein. Should Consultant so employ such unauthorized aliens for the performance of work and/or services covered by this Agreement, and should any liability or sanctions be imposed against City for such use of unauthorized aliens, Consultant hereby agrees to and shall reimburse City for the cost of all such liabilities or sanctions imposed, together with any and all costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred by City. ARTICLE 9. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 9.1 Notices. Any notice, demand, request, document, consent, approval, or communication either party desires or is required to give to the other party or any other person shall be in writing and either served personally or sent by prepaid, first-class mail, in the case of the City, to the City Manager and to the attention of the Contract Officer (with her/his name and City title), City of Rancho A-16 Palos Verdes, 30940 Hawthorne Blvd., California 90275 and in the case of the Consultant, to the person(s) at the address designated on the execution page of this Agreement.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. 9.4 Integration; Amendment. This Agreement including the attachments hereto is the entire, complete and exclusive expression of the understanding of the parties. It is understood that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Agreement and this Agreement supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties, and none shall be used to interpret this Agreement. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and approved by the Consultant and by the City Council. The parties agree that this requirement for written modifications cannot be waived and that any attempted waiver shall be void. 9.5 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the phrases, sentences, clauses, paragraphs, or sections contained in this Agreement shall be declared invalid or unenforceable by a valid judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any of the remaining phrases, sentences, clauses, paragraphs, or sections of this Agreement which are hereby declared as severable and shall be interpreted to carry out the intent of the parties hereunder unless the invalid provision is so material that its invalidity deprives either party of the basic benefit of their bargain or renders this Agreement meaningless. 9.6 Warranty & Representation of Non -Collusion. No official, officer, or employee of City has any financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement, nor shall any official, officer, or employee of City participate in any decision relating to this Agreement which may affect his/her financial interest or the financial interest of any corporation, partnership, or association in which (s)he is directly or indirectly interested, or in violation of any corporation, partnership, or association in which (s)he is directly or indirectly interested, or in violation of any State or municipal statute or regulation.

Fisher, ASLA, Principal 2001 E. First Street, Suite 160 Santa Ana, CA 92705 (714) 245-9270 rfisher@rfaland.com m Ric, ha rd Fisher Ar,Sociatco May 3, 2016 Cory Linder, Director Department of Recreation and Parks City of Rancho Palos Verdes 30940 Hawthorne Blvd. Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275 Subject: Proposal for Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan Project Dear Cory & Other Selection Committee Members: Richard Fisher Associates (RFA) is pleased to submit this Proposal for the Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan project and is excited about the potential of working with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes Department of Recreation and Parks. The City Council and Management Team Members should be very proud of what has been accomplished for your parks over the years and RFA commends the City for continuing to upgrade parks within your City system. RFA would be proud to be selected as the firm to provide the requested design services and we look forward to the opportunity to help the City achieve proposed improvements to the existing Ladera Linda Community Park. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Public Parks & Recreation projects have been the core of professional services provided by the RFA Design Team as a professional design firm. Based on our experience of providing similar services to other municipalities, we have a solid understanding of the various services that the City of Rancho Palos Verdes may require during the Master Plan development of the Ladera Linda Community Park project. One of the key reasons Southern California cities have previously selected Richard Fisher Associates to provide professional park design services is our earned reputation as being good listeners. Many of our clients have appreciated our emphasis on underscoring the importance of this sometimes forgotten talent. It never fails that if a project does not go well, it seems to always point to a breakdown in communications as a strong contributing factor. To the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, I enthusiastically offer the expertise of our design staff and a commitment to be even better listeners than other park design firms used by the City on previous projects. Our municipal clients will, and have, testified to the following attributes: • RFA is a good listener and offers a highly -experienced team of design professionals for parks and streetscape projects, who provide an exceptional job of translating project's goals into creative, maintainable public improvement projects. • We place a very high priority on our Project Schedule commitments; and • We provide our municipal clients with highly -developed Master Plans, as well as accurate, thoroughly -complete Plans and Specifications. Many clients tell us that our Construction Documents do an exceptional job of clearly communicating to the Bidders and Awarded Contractor precisely what the City is expecting to be accomplished in the project. We acknowledge that Construction Documents are not the services currently solicited, but RFA has an excellent reputation for providing professional services in the project development phase as well. This speaks to the park design qualifications of Richard Fisher Associates. 2001 E. 1st Street • Suite 160 . Santa Ana, CA 92705 • (714) 245-9270 • Fax (714) 245-9275 . rfisher@rfaland.com B-2 Our firm has recently completed two agency -wide Comprehensive Park and Recreation Master Plans. We understand a Master Plan was recently prepared by your City staff, as well. The interaction with the community, and gathered input specific to Ladera Linda Community Park has the utmost value for this project. Richard Fisher Associates offers polished presentation talents as well as highly -refined skills to bring out important dialogue offered by community participants. We know the types of questions which should be asked of the community; we know how to listen and record this valuable input; and, we are strongly committed to taking this input back to the community as we continually build the credibility of the Master Plan process for the park in the eyes of those involved in the process. For the Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan project, the RFA team offers the principal leadership of Richard Fisher and his 43 years of hands-on involvement in municipal park design and construction assistance. Richard has been a licensed Landscape Architect in California since 1974. Richard's career began as a City Park Planner (for 6 years), followed by 37 years as a Consulting Landscape Architect to numerous cities in Southern California. This depth of experience is unmet by our competition. Richard Fisher's continual leadership will be provided from the initial kick-off meeting with City Staff until the Final Master Plan has received its approval from the City Council. As a seasoned Landscape Architect, Richard understands the wide range of professional expertise needed to assure the successful Master Plan for Ladera Linda Community Park. You will find in this Proposal that the RFA design team has been customized to include principal -level professionals in the areas of Civil Engineering, Architecture, Environmental Resources, Land Surveying, and Certified Arborist. We fully understand that the scope of services for this park renovation project is focused on the Master Plan preparation phase, but we strongly believe in the involvement of all potential Design Consultants from the beginning of site investigation work. This prevents major design issues from popping up during the Construction Document Phase of a project. Our uniquely qualified team of experts will provide a superior Master Plan which is realistic and buildable, and is excitingly creative in its design solutions for the initial alternative Master Plans. It is important that the City receives realistic cost projections for the proposed project. Our firm has a strong track record for providing accurate cost estimates for Master Plans and Construction Documents. Finally, Richard Fisher Associates prides itself on developing and maintaining healthy relationships with all of its clients. Throughout its 37 years of business history, RFA has not had any failures or refusals to complete a Contract. In addition, there are no alleged prior, or ongoing, civil or criminal litigations or investigations filed or pending against RFA in that entire period. Please see the Letter of Commendation (at the end of the Executive Summary) that we just recently received from the City of Orange as they acknowledge the outstanding level of service we have provided for their three parks master plans. With one of these parks now funded for renovation, the city is asking RFA to discuss with them our professional services for the development of Construction Documents. Please see our references and experience information that immediately follows. A full detailing of the tasks needed to complete this project is listed in the "Scope of Work" section of this proposal. We submit this Proposal with great enthusiasm and confidence that we offer the City of Rancho Palos Verdes a team that will assure the highly successful completion of the Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan. We would like to thank you, in advance, for your interest in Richard Fisher Associates. Respectfully submitted, Richard A.

As you know, the City of Orange has a great relationship with our community and we take pride in our beautiful parks. Last year, when we needed a landscape design firm to prepare master plans for three of our parks, we circulated an RFP seeking the most talented firms to work with us and our community on this important project. Your farm rose to the top of a very competitive group of landscape designers and was selected to prepare the Master Plans for Shaffer, La Veta and Eisenhower Parks in Orange. We selected Richard Fisher Associates on the basis of the talent and vision of the team you assembled, as well as your reputation for professionalism, creativity and understanding of the community input process. Since this work began last year, you and your team have lived up to that reputation. Your team truly understands the nature of the community input process, the many patron and political sensitivities we face, and the need for designs that make sense in an economic climate that is still in recovery. In addition, we have appreciated how you help to keep the process focused and on a schedule, and how receptive you are with additional thoughts and ideas brought forth from the City team. We look forward to continuing this relationship as we move to finalize this project and take the master plans to the community and the City Council. It has been a pleasure working with you and your team and we are happy to recommend your services. Sincerely, Ma ie Knight Director of Commur vices COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT. 230 E.

Richard Fisher Associates will function as the Principal Lead Consultant for the Master Plan Services for Ladera Linda Community Park project and has assembled a Design Team, comprised of our firm and 5 sub -consulting firms, whose members have worked together for as much as 25 years, in an effective design collaborative. All Landscape Architectural design services, provided by RFA, will be from the firm's Santa Ana office. Richard Fisher will function as the Principal -in -Charge and the overall Project Manager. Richard will direct and coordinate the design process, provide leadership and chair Design Team meetings, provide Team communications, and/or act as the principal Design Lead. Richard will also be responsible for the contractual negotiations with the City, will make all City Staff presentations as well as all presentations to the community, City Council and any Commissions, and participate in the overall design process. Providing strong design experience, as well as managing a team of 5 firms all working together to produce an exceptional Master Plan for Ladera Linda Community Park, is no small task. However, RFA is up for the challenge. Over the past 37 years, Richard has managed everything from very small projects, with one or two firm teams, to a $7.4 million community park project with a uniquely diverse team of professionals working together on a single project. Richard has a unique background of having 6 '/2 years of public agency tenure as a Park Planner and ultimately City Landscape Architect with the Anaheim Parks & Recreation Department. Since then, these past 37 years have been served as a consulting Landscape Architect for Municipalities and Recreation & Parks Districts throughout southern California. In this period, Richard has served as consulting City Landscape Architect to 17 Municipalities. In the case of Yorba Linda, that role is in its 37"' year of service, where his firm has also designed 20 parks for the same City. Richard served as the Project Manager, Principal -in -Charge, or Project Landscape Architect for all 184 park projects and 124 streetscape projects successfully completed by RFA or its predecessor, BSI Consultants / Berryman & Henigar. A key concern voiced in the RFP is the ability of the selected firm to conduct a series of community outreach meetings and follow-up presentations to community stakeholders, neighbors, and City decision - makers. Richard Fisher continually receives feedback that his presentation skills allow him to lead park facility planning and development outreach meetings with an exceptional level of success; that community participants are particularly pleased with the opportunity to provide input (which was heard, and if not implemented, participants were informed as to the reasons their input wouldn't be able to be included in the new design), and that the presentations to the decision -makers are made in a concise, accurate, and highly credible manner. Jim Collison will function as the firm's Associate / Senior Designer with responsibilities including functioning as the design director and coordinating Consulting Design Team members on a close daily basis. Jim will also be responsible for the overall Master Plans' AutoCAD efforts and will manage the important task of developing highly credible Estimates of Probable Construction Costs. Jim has an impressive track record of creating very accurate cost projections for new and rehabilitated parks for over 20 years. Jim and Richard have been working as a professional team for nearly 29 years, and have refined their collaborative efforts for the exploration of creative park design concepts and their ability to transform many exciting design schemes into realistic Master Plans; most of which have then gone on into Construction Documents, for this extensive period of time. Rancho Palos Verdes I Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan Richard Fisher Associates -15 During his 29 years with our firm, Jim has honed his skills in his design approach to Parks, Streetscapes, and other public projects and is able to offer the City the benefit of his uniquely -extensive experience. Such attributes include: research of all available reference documentation; verification of existing site improvements, feasibility studies & cost projections; and developing recommendations for bidding multi - phased projects so that earlier constructed improvements can be protected and continued to be used once the final improvement phase of construction is complete. Jim's high degree of creativity and design sense, balanced by his technical skills, are evident in the execution of both Conceptual Drawings/Master Plans and Construction Documents alike. Sub Consultants As we reviewed the RFP, we immediately recognized the importance of creating a Master Plan which successfully addresses such identified requirements as being eco -friendly, a sustainable design, have high water use efficiency, and energy-efficient. We believe that the Design Team needs to be broadly qualified in a large number of areas of expertise and to develop a Master Plan which goes well beyond these initial criteria. Because of our design philosophy, we believe the RFA team will be unparalleled in the diversity and depth by including the 5 sub -consulting team firms added specifically for the Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan project. RFA believes in the concept of a team planning process and the need for individuals or firms joining together which have recognized expertise in each area of concern for meeting our client's needs. From the narrative in the City's RFP for this park and further defined in the pre -proposal site meeting, we have become highly aware that this park has many unique challenges, and exciting potentials, to be professionally evaluated and recommended for future improvements. Therefore, in our approach to the park's Master Plan, although not specifically requested in the City's RFP, we propose to add the specialized expertise of professionals with unique project backgrounds which bring strength to our evaluations and preliminary design efforts as Park Landscape Architects, Architects, Civil Engineers, Environmental Specialists, Arborists, and Land Surveyors. These additional professionals not only add credibility to the proposed preliminary master plan design solutions which will offer well thought-out design opportunities which fit within the community's requests, but will significantly increase the credibility of the cost projections which will be provided near the end of the Master Plan process. As such, additional input and expertise are proposed to be furnished by the following sub -consultant firms: Meyer and Associates is a specialized Architectural firm providing recreation planning and design services for public agencies throughout central and southern California. Randy Meyer, Principal Architect, has worked with RFA's staff members intermittently for more than 25 years, as we have provided professional services to public agencies. We anticipate using Randy's expertise in the evaluation of the existing former school buildings' functional spaces and facilities, as well as to render a recommendation on replacing these existing spaces as a part of a proposed new community building in the park. Randy, who is dually-degreed as an Architect and Landscape Architect, will work closely with other key team members to develop the ideal siting of a new building which better uses the spectacular views from the site, and then develops exciting new preliminary plans for a new community building, followed by the preparation of construction cost projections for this building.

Rancho Palos Verdes I Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan Richard Fisher Associates -23 WORK PLAN Richard Fisher Associates believes each park renovation project is unique and therefore conducts the design approach by letting the project site tell us its distinctive story. What makes this park renovation project unique and our understanding of the appropriate approach to a successful renovation design for the park seems to include the following: o Become familiar with the physical characteristics of the topography of the various activity areas within the park. We will look forward to learning from City staff what site drainage issues need addressing, and will become familiar with pedestrian circulation challenges from within various elements of the site. o There is a desire by the City to evaluate the existing school building complex and potentially upgrade these current indoor spaces with the construction of a new community building. We are confident our Project Architect will create a new floor plan design which dramatically improves City staff's ability to supervise activities within the building, and, among many improvements to the facility, orient a new Discovery Room to better serve participants involved with the Nature Center/Palos Verdes Preserve experience. As the potential of a new community building is evaluated, the design team will explore an opportunity to site the building so that it no longer dominates the "skyline" of the park for residents below the site looking up at the park. This will also contribute to allowing the removal of "screening landscaping" along the front view edge of the site, which might otherwise be needed to soften building elevations which are visible from below the park. From within the parksite, the design of a new building's architectural features and construction materials can make a dramatic change to the overall experience for park participants, both visually and physically. The site offers such exceptional outward views from within the site, and our design team is already envisioning opportunities to explore opening up these views with the removal of large, tall vegetation along the westerly edge of the park pad. We are discussing an opportunity to site the new community building back into the site more, which will allow outdoor activities, whether active or passive, to take better advantage of these spectacular views. The conceptual design process deserves to include an evaluation of relocation of the playground equipment near the ballfield to join the other play equipment area, as well as the hard surface game courts. An understanding of the ages of the users of the ballfield area will be accomplished so an evaluation of the maximizing of the usefulness of the ballfield area is accomplished.'' t o One of the very dramatic changes to the park site will be the evaluation and preliminary design of a more self-sustaining landscape development of several areas of the park. Our Design Team members will be able to generate some exception direction as they collaborate to accomplish this goal. Rancho Palos Verdes I Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan Richard Fisher Associates -24 Various levels/activity areas of the site are separated by slope landscaping, which over time have become large screening landscapes. The site evaluation and conceptual design efforts will thoroughly explore what opportunities there are to unify the parksite to be visually a whole park, rather than the separated elements which currently exist. Moderate grading efforts may be included in the Master Plan design to improve ADA accessibility to various areas of the park. o The uniqueness of the site and its long history of being a public element within the neighborhood make the site very special to a lot of residents in the area. The public outreach process will be most critical to the success of the Master Plan. We will recommend that some of the outreach gatherings be held on site to further participation of interested residents in the Master Plan process. o Finally, the evaluation of any existing trees which should be removed as a part of the park renovation will be conducted. Park Design Philosophy Starting with the Project Pre -Design Meeting, Richard Fisher Associates key design team members will focus on closely listening to the City staff's initial projects' input. The challenge will be to capitalize on the unique renovation opportunities for this park project as the design team looks at the renovation of most of the park amenities, as well as the reorganization of indoor recreational facilities hopefully in a newly - designed community building. The design team will be looking for opportunities for enhancing play and relaxation experiences, while simultaneously focusing on maximizing full -inclusion activities in all places possible. The ultimate Master Plan documents will be specifying all park amenities which provide durable long-term facilities so that the City is well-prepared to keep them fully operational for a long period of time. General park improvements will include recreational spaces which will be designed to serve all ages of park users, creating separation zones between varying recreational activities (both for safety and for maximum enjoyment by the respective park participants in each activity) while reducing the dramatic visual separation of many current park activity areas. Our goal is to create new, highly -efficient, self- sustaining landscapes which will be sensitive to reasonable long-term maintenance needs. Equally important, is creating environments which offer a feeling of safety and security for the public while at the park. Staff Availability & Responsiveness Richard Fisher Associates is prepared to make available any staff member who can productively contribute to both the initial effort in refining the requested Master Plan services, as well as providing required areas of Landscape Architectural expertise, throughout the Master Plan process. Our firm has been structured around our Public Agency clientele in such a way that our resources are fluid and able to shift with our client's needs. We are very familiar with a City's needs to meet deadlines and budgets set by a City's Fiscal calendar. Because Richard Fisher Associates specializes in only working with governmental agencies, our project workload and schedules are more predictable than most firms that also perform private sector (Developer) work. As our client's will attest to, we have a proven track record of meeting our client's deadlines. Taking into account our current workload for other public agencies, we can commit to having the staff available to start the Master Plan Services for Ladera Linda Community Park project for the City of Rancho Palos Verdes immediately. Problem Solvinq Techniques The effectiveness of problem solving is highly impacted by both the level of experience of the Design Team and the ability of the Professional Consultant and the City to work together as one cohesive project team. This means early detection of all unique project objectives and project problems and clear communication of the issues and the availability of alternative solutions. Rancho Palos Verdes I Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan Richard Fisher Associates -25 Richard Fisher Associates brings to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes the following strengths for dealing with effective resolution of project problems: • An exceptional level of public works / parks & recreation project experience; having provided these services for over 43 years. This will likely be a longer time of building a pyramid of park design experience than any other proposing firm for this project. • Routinely approach projects' design challenges by using a "thinking -outside -the -box" strategy • Conducts regularly scheduled meetings to keep both City and Design Team members "on the same page" and knowledgeable of the project's status at all times • Provides optimum effectiveness in professional services by the establishment and maintenance of a strong positive working relationship with City team members and the sub -consulting team members, all who have worked with RFA on numerous other successful projects. • Applies a proven track record process for problem solving and project design resolution. QUALITY CONTROL As a professional design firm, Richard Fisher Associates routinely is managing from as few as 4 projects to as many as 13 projects' activities in a given month (actual recent historical data). In order to insure each Public Agency client that their project is the most important project, a number of project management approaches are in continual practice at the firm's office. Schedule Control: One of the tools available to the firm is `Microsoft Project' scheduling software for individual and firm -wide projects' interactive scheduling. Immediately upon approval of a specific project's Scope of Work, the design team will create, or refine a preliminary chronological schedule for each project, and integrate this work into the firm's comprehensive project schedule. The hands-on project management role is equitably divided up so that effective management is never compromised on any project. The Project Schedule chart is considered to be a `Living Document', which is adjusted, as -needed, to smooth out variables or impacts as they may occur. Like a well-trained Track & Field Relay Team, the expanded schedule will assure that the baton is handed off at the correct time to meet all target dates for this project. Quality Control Standards: Initial Quality Control Procedure: Quality control is initiated at the beginning of the project at which time the fundamental base sheet and topographic data is established and AutoCAD files are created, including all existing park improvements that will be identified to be protected -in-place, demolished, or replaced. Each Professional Discipline will be responsible to ascertain the impacts these site improvements will have on their design detailing. This task will become a Schedule Chart milestone and will be coordinated at a regularly scheduled Team meeting, as well as forwarded to key team members via email immediately upon establishment. Progressive Quality Control: As the project proceeds from the initial Research Phase through Draft Master Plan development, all applicable information that affects the bases will be recorded and plotted, then disseminated to each Sub -consultant. Final Document Quality Control: Typically, each Disciplinary Team Consultant will be responsible for their respective area of expertise. However, each key member of the Design Team will also be responsible to review and comment, and to assure full coordination of applicable design elements. Additionally, being that several of the RFA staff and the Design Team Consultants are cross -educated for other design disciplines, internal plan checking is complimented, specifically, as a second -pair -of -eyes. Cost Philosophy One of the reasons that Richard Fisher Associates can develop such highly credible cost projections is due to the fact that our Master Plans are developed into a much more refined design stage than most of our competitors will provide to their clients. We will have conceptually designed the project's proposed grading modifications, worked out ADA accessible routes, identified all proposed site furnishings and signage, and conceptually designed treatments to protect and maximize off-site views from within the Rancho Palos Verdes I Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan Richard Fisher Associates -26 park, all while developing the Master Plan. Our specialized team of sub -consultants will explore and develop design concepts or project mitigation efforts (depending on their area of expertise) to a level of completeness that they will then contribute to the cost projections process with a high level of credibility for their respective area of expertise. Starting with the initial Design Phase, Project Costs will be established as global numbers for each category of proposed construction. As the design progresses through each phase, up to and including approval of the Final Master Plan, costs will be updated and broadened incrementally by category. Eventually, as the City moves forward with retaining a Consultant for the Final Working Drawings, costs will need to continue to be refined as Construction Plan Documents are developed. RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY Richard Fisher Associates principal staff has 43 years of experience offering Landscape Architectural and Project Management Services to Municipal Agency clientele. In fact, during this entire professional services period, park playground design has been a continuous area of design expertise. In serving public agencies throughout this exceptional period of time, a vast majority of our projects require our staff to coordinate and work effectively with various local, county, and state agencies. These governing bodies include representatives from Los Angeles County, Orange County, various Southern California cities, Caltrans, various water districts, and Southern California Edison. With this exceptional experience level, we are confident that our firm can successfully handle and accomplish the Master Plan Design Project for Ladera Linda Community Park for the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. During the entire Conceptual Landscape Design phase, all pertinent information will be distributed at regularly scheduled intervals to the key team members and to Staff at the RPV Department of Recreation & Parks. Many of these project update communications can be made electronically, while critical issues which will benefit from face-to-face discussions can be made at project progress meetings at City Hall, or in some cases, at the park location. At the initial Pre -design Meeting, the determination of regularly -scheduled intervals for project updates can be developed. Richard Fisher Associates fully appreciates that regularly scheduled communications, which clearly indicate the current status of the park project to City staff members, is a critical component for successful park design projects. We are heartily committed to assuring this happens throughout the life of the project! Rancho Palos Verdes I Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan Richard Fisher Associates n i Scope of Wo g The following Scope of Work is in response to the Scope of Work presented in the City's RFP issued on April 21, 2016, and the follow up information, issued on April 28, 2016. Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan MASTER PLAN PARK DESIGN TASK 1 - PRE -DESIGN MEETING Task 1-A: Project Pre -Design Meeting & Start -Up Immediately upon a Notice to Proceed, the Richard Fisher Associates' staff will: • Meet with City Staff to discuss and refine the Project Scope, Budget & Schedule. • Conduct discussions on the staff -level input generated prior to the issue of the RFP, including any preliminary sketches, specific amenities' notes, and any documented input from park user groups gathered during the City-wide Parks & Recreation Master Plan process. Also in this discussion, we will want to focus on what City staff wants to make sure is accomplished in the re -design for this park. Specific information should also cover the needs for a re -built community building, user groups' wishes for specific site amenities, and previously -voiced concerns from the neighborhood in regard to the park site renovation. • Discuss milestone target dates for specific activities during the Master Plan process; specific user group meetings and the overall public outreach process, and how to maximize participation of critical community members within limited meetings; and a review of the specific deliverables for respective Tasks. • Receive from City all appropriate park improvement plans and other applicable documents. Task 1-B: Conduct Site Research • Prepare photographic documentation of existing park improvements. • Determine all applicable local and regional code issues specific to this project. • Conduct a preliminary review of the overall site to become familiar with existing buildings, outdoor activity areas, public access to and within the park site, and both outward view opportunities from within the site and neighboring views into the site. • Conduct a limited, but highly professional, review of the existing trees throughout the park to determine if any should be removed. A licensed Arborist will be a critical team member of this effort. TASK 2 — SITE ANALYSIS i ASSESSMENT Task 2-A: Perform a Review of Existing Documents and Background Information • Led by the Consultant Project Manager, perform a preliminary review of City -provided documents, plans, previously -gathered community input for the site's future improvements, and any other relevant background materials. Task 2-B: Conduct Environmental Site Analysis • Led by the Project Director of Cultural Resources, conduct a Site Reconnaissance Investigation in order to prepare a cultural and biological resources constraints analysis. Work effort will include a Records Search, Field Survey, Historical Building Assessment, and Constraints Analysis Report. Finally, this Task will include a summary of special status species of plants, potential impacts to plant and wildlife communities by construction on the site, followed by a brief discussion of reasonable mitigation measures in response to the potential impacts. Task 2-C: Conduct Physical Site Amenities Analysis • Led by the Project Landscape Architect and Project Architect, conduct a preliminary evaluation of the existing buildings and types of activity spaces offered by the existing buildings. Also perform Rancho Palos Verdes I Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan Richard Fisher Associates n an analysis of current outdoor activity areas; the circulation between these areas and the ease for public access from activity area to activity area; existing City staff's abilities for site observation from their offices and other primary work areas; and analyze view opportunities from within the site and neighboring views into the site. This evaluation process will include critical City staff members who can contribute to this assessment to maximize the understanding by the Consultant team. The Project Architect will then prepare an Architectural Assessment of the existing buildings, addressing the pros and cons of renovating the existing buildings versus the teardown and construction of a new community building. This task will be completed by the preparation of a Phase 1 Site Analysis, which will include graphic and written documents summarizing identified project issues, site opportunities to make the park more functional, aesthetically -pleasing and environmentally compatible, as well as all identified site constraints. Task 2-D: Conduct Existing Site Drainage Analysis • Performed by the Project Civil Engineer, Bob Merrill, who has a well-established relationship with the City, conduct a preliminary review of the site drainage (enhanced by a discussion with City staff on known drainage problems); existing infrastructure improvements to include drainage systems, and vehicular pavement areas; a review of the existing soil type (as can be analyzed by City -provided documents) and any anticipated special improvement design issues and related cost implications; and an analysis of construction cost implications due to the remote location of the site. This Analysis will also include a preliminary review of the construction period storm water mitigation and management. Bob will also be an active participant in the development of the Master Plan alternatives. Task 2-E: Prepare a New Topographic Site Survey (Optional Service) • Performed by the Project Surveyor, prepare a new Aerial Topographic Survey of the site, as a 1" = 20 scale electronic map, with 1 ft contour intervals, showing all visible site structures, hardscape, visible utilities, and parking lots. TASK 3 — COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Task 3-A: Conduct (1) Community Outreach Meeting • Led by the Project Manager / Landscape Architect, prepare and conduct a community outreach strategy and public input process.

Nearby Neighborhood Homeowner Associations e. Individual Homeowners Task 3-13: Conduct, as appropriate, Stakeholder Interviews • Led by the Project Manager, conduct small forum interviews with valued Stakeholders who can offer more in-depth input on desired site amenities and features which need to be addressed as a part of the Master Plan. Task 3-C: Conduct Presentations of Master Plan Process • Led by the Project Manager, conduct follow-up presentations of the Master Plan as it develops to solicit input and review of site improvements' options. • Presentations will include a minimum of one public forum, which could be incorporated into a presentation/workshop with a joint session of the Planning Commission and the City Council. • Prepare graphic and written materials to support the public outreach process and summarize input received through all key steps of the process. Rancho Palos Verdes I Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan Richard Fisher Associates -29 TASK 4 — MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT Task 4-A: Preliminary Master Plan Design Process • From City -provided or newly -generated Topographic Survey, prepare Base Sheet for the entire park area @ 20' scale (or larger, if appropriate for a 32" x 36", or larger, format). • Led by the Project Landscape Architect, prepare a summary Needs Assessment, based on the design team's Site Analysis and the input gathered from community input sessions. • Led by the Project Architect, with close coordination by City staff, develop a written Program Development summary to discuss in detail the various proposed community building uses and sizes of desired use areas, as well as discuss outdoor activity area needs and sizes. In appropriate Master Plan -level detail, list preferred construction materials and finishes for indoor and exterior improvements. • Prepare three Alternative Draft Master Plans, showing alternative designs to accommodate existing and proposed park use areas. Each alternative Preliminary Master Plan will indicate its proposed design solutions to satisfy community outreach requests for components and arrangements of park amenities. It is anticipated that the respective Preliminary Master Plan schemes will propose different arrangements of activity areas, the siting of a replacement community building (in similar size to the collective size of the existing former elementary school buildings), routes for accessibility to various activity areas throughout the site (to include those routes which will meet ADA accessibility criteria), and the methodologies to maximize the extraordinary off-site views offered by the site. Each Master Plan alternative will be prepared with RFA's professional recommendations for all park modifications and improvements listed in the RFP. • For the initial City staff review purposes, each Preliminary Master Plan Alternatives will be an AutoCAD generated graphic. Task 4-B: Present Preliminary Master Plan Alternatives to City Staff • Meet with City Staff to present each of the Preliminary Master Plan Alternatives. • Discuss any modifications requested by Staff for each Alternative Master Plan. • In a joint effort with City Staff, make any possible determinations on the priority of phase one improvements, and receive direction on future phasing packages (for Cost Estimating purposes). • Prepare colored exhibit for each of the three Preliminary Master Plan Alternatives. Task 4-C: Present Preliminary Master Plan Alternatives in Communitv Forum Meetin • Led by the Project Landscape Architect, with the support of City Staff, present each of the Preliminary Master Plan Alternatives to Community Stakeholders in one outreach workshop. Solicit input from public participants in the evaluation of each alternative's ability to best meet community needs. Following open discussions on each alternative, solicit the community's support for the preferred Master Plan Alternative. • Any additional public outreach meetings with user groups can be provided, if determined by City Staff to be needed, as an Extra Services item. Task 4-D: Finalize Preferred Preliminary Master Plan Alternative • Refine Preferred Preliminary Master Plan into Final Master Plan, incorporating modifications requested by City staff and Community participants in Steps 4-B and 4-C above. Prepare the Final Master Plan as a color -rendered exhibit, mounted on '/4" foam board. The Master Plan will include call -outs of existing amenities to remain and call -outs / exhibits of all proposed new / re- located amenities and site furniture. Additionally, the Master Plan graphic will include wayfinding signage sketches and proposed locations. As a part of the Master Plan package, recommended plant materials, with typical exhibits of many species will be prepared to communicate the proposed California -friendly and drought -tolerant landscape treatment of the site. • The Project Architect will also prepare a refined Floor Plan exhibit and develop Conceptual Exterior Elevation Drawings to communicate the preliminary design concept for the Community Building. Notes on these exhibits will indicate proposed finishes and materials for the exterior of the building. Rancho Palos Verdes I Ladera Linda Community Park Master Plan Richard Fisher Associates *_30 Prepare a Master Plan -level Estimate of Probable Construction Costs for the overall park improvements, and break up improvements into two phasing packages, as determined to be appropriate in a discussion with City staff. Costs for new architectural improvements (community building) will be a part of this Cost Estimate work. Please note that with the exclusion of a Geotechnical Report from the Consultant's Scope of Work will inhibit the ability to accurately project the costs for construction of the new community building. Prepare an Implementation Plan which discusses the components of each phase of development, generally discusses the impacts to the site and any surrounding neighborhood and street impacts during construction, and discusses funding sources which may be explored to augment City funds. Task 4-E: Presentation of Final Master Plan • Present Final Master Plan to City Staff in preparation of presentation to the community and City Council. • Present Final Master Plan to the City Council for adoption of the community -supported design alternative. • RFA will be available to also make presentations to other City policymaking bodies as an Extra Services item. TASK 5 — PROGRESS REPORTS Task 5-A: Development and Provision of Status Report Updates • Led by the Project Manager, prepare project status reports at agreed-upon intervals to City staff for inclusion on the City webpage. Text for these updates will be ready for inclusion by the City's web server. The frequency of updated reports will be discussed and agreed-upon at the initial Pre -design Meeting, but are anticipated to include monthly updates as well as timely updates following key public meeting / outreach events. TASK 6 — FUNDRAISING PLAN (Optional Servicel Task 6-A: Development of a Fundraising Plan • Led by the Project Grants Advisor, prepare a report to describe local community, regional, and national fundraising efforts which could be developed to enhance funding for the park renovation project. Public / private partnership exploration will also be discussed in the report. With the adjacent Nature Center / Palos Verdes Preserve, the exploration of grants related to these special facilities will be included in this task.
