BACKGROUND
Abalone Cove Shoreline Park
With the expected completion of the grant funded improvement project at Abalone Cove
Shoreline Park in 2014, it is anticipated that public usage of this park will increase significantly.
J-1
However, the scope of work of the grant funded Abalone Cove Improvement project excludes
any improvements to the existing parking lot or building. In order to accommodate the
anticipated increased number of group and individual park users, Staff requested a budget for
improvement of the existing parking lot including entrance and exit driveways and gates,
improvement of the staff building, upgrading the restrooms for ADA compliance and adding
landscaping and irrigation to improve the appearance of the facility. In June 2013, the City
Council approved the budget requested for these improvements for FY 13-14.
Restroom ADA Compliance at Cable TV Building
ADA compliance of the restrooms at the Cable TV building is a separate project located at Point
Vicente Park. Since the scope of this work is limited, it was added to the Shoreline Park
improvement design work in order to achieve savings on design fee costs. This improvement
will upgrade the existing restroom, which is used by staffers and visitors, for ADA compliance. In
June 2013, the City Council approved the budget requested for this improvement for FY 13-14.
Scope of work
1-Abalone Cove Shoreline Park
The scope of work for this project includes improvement and ADA compliance of the
wood frame staff building restrooms (approximately 220 SF); reconfiguration of the
men's restroom to provide access from the outside in lieu of the existing inside
access; improvement of the entrance and exit driveways surfaces; installation of new
automated programmable gates with an electronic pay station; painting the building;
ADA compliant parking spaces; placement and compaction of crushed base material
(CBM) with binder over the parking lot surface; signs; parking space design and
installation of wooden wheel stops and measures to create discernible parking spaces
and driving isle(s) on the CBM; removal of existing wood pylo'ns and replacement with
boulders; fencing; landscaping & irrigation (around the power generator and propane
tank with low height landscaping along Palos Verdes Drive South).
2-Cable TV Building
The scope of work for this project includes improvements and alterations for ADA
compliance of the existing unisex restroom (Approximately 80 SF) located inside this
concrete block wall building, possible opening for a new door to access a waiting
room and upgrade of the existing ADA parking space.
DISCUSSION
Black. O'Dowd and Associates, Inc. /BOA Architecture Professional Services Agreement
(Design)
In July of 2013, staff sent a request to seven consultants to submit their statement of
qualifications for the design of the subject projects. Four consultants submitted their
qualifications. A panel consisting of three staff members reviewed the respondents' general
J-2
background, qualifications and specific skills pertinent to this type of projects and found Black,
O'Dowd and Associates, Inc. I BOA Architecture to be the most qualified design firm for this
project. The evaluation was based on experience of the firms in providing similar services,
relevant experience of individual team members assigned to the project, understanding of the
project, ability to perform duties within budget, previous services provided to the City and other
clients on the Palos Verdes Peninsula by the firms and/or team members assigned to the
project.
The process of selection of the design firm was in accordance with guidelines of the Brooks Act,
also known as Qualification Based Selection, Public Law 92-582. According to these guidelines,
Staff took the next step to discuss and finalize the details of the scope of design work with the
-finalist consultant and asked for a fee proposal for the agreed upon scope. The proposed fee is
in the amount of $49, 135. For what is included in the final detailed scope of a quality design
work, and engineering and architecture required for the design, Staff finds this fee to be
reasonable and within industry standards.
According to the timeline provided for the project, implementation will begin soon after the
Professional Services Agreement is authorized by the City Council and a Notice to Proceed is
issued, and will occur in the following phases:
• Project Initiation and Field Inventory: 1 month
• Engineering Des·ign: 4 months
• Project Bidding and Construction: 6 months
ADDITINAL INFORMATION
The City consulted with a community focus group during the development of the plans for the
adjacent Abalone Cove Park Improvement project. In the course of this effort, the focus group
inquired about the possibility of subsequent improvements to the parking lot and staff building at
the park, and was particularly in favor of improvements to the aesthetic appearance of the
property as viewed from Palos Verdes Drive South. Therefore, staff believes the proposed
improvements are consistent with the comments received from the focus group. Once plans are
developed for the project, staff will confer with the focus group for their feedback on this related
improvement to the park.
CONCLUSION
Awarding the contract will allow Black, O'Dowd and Associates, Inc. I BOA Architecture to begin
preparing the necessary architectural and engineering plans for construction work of the
projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City Council's approval tonight will obligate $49, 135 of the total budget allocated for the
projects. The $4,913 allowance, .which is a potential budget obligation, may be used only with
prior written approval from the City and merely for unforeseen conditions that may require
additional design work.
