Re: RFP for On-Call Architectural Services FY 2025-2030 Dear Selection Committee,
On behalf of dsk architects, I am pleased to submit our proposal for On-Call Architectural Services in response to the City of Alameda’s Request for Proposals.

Our firm is deeply experienced in delivering responsive, high-quality design solutions for public agencies throughout the Bay Area. With over 18 years serving clients across Alameda County, we understand the pace, flexibility, and precision required to support task orders ranging from urgent facility repairs to thoughtful modernization efforts.

As an Alameda County-certified Small, Local, Emerging Business (SLEB Certification No. 23-00024), we are proud to be a part of the community we serve. We believe that public projects should uplift residents, reflect local values, and build lasting partnerships — and that starts with having a design team rooted in the region. Our work across Alameda County has been shaped by a deep understanding of local agency processes, community needs, and the unique character of the East Bay. We are committed to being not just a service provider, but a collaborative, long-term partner in the City’s continued growth and success.

To support the City’s evolving capital improvement and maintenance needs, we’ve assembled a team of trusted local subconsultants, each with a proven record of delivering successful outcomes on public projects — many of which have been completed in long-standing partnership with dsk. Together, we offer a full spectrum of architectural and engineering services, backed by strong communication workflows and a shared commitment to community-centered design.

Our work is grounded in a collaborative, solution-focused approach that emphasizes:
▪ Fast, accurate task order responses
▪ Integrated in-house architecture, interiors, and code compliance capabilities ▪ A deep understanding of ADA, sustainability, and civic facility needs ▪ Sensitivity to local context, budget, and long-term operations We are excited about the opportunity to support the City of Alameda in creating and maintaining public spaces that reflect its character, values, and future vision. Thank you for your consideration — we look forward to the opportunity to partner with you on this important work.

Sincerely,
Amir Kakavand, AIA, MBA, LEED® AP

5 A. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, MANAGEMENT AND TEAM MEMBERS Team Overview
dsk architects | Architecture, Sustainability Consulting, & Interior Design In our 18 years as a firm, we have partnered with numerous public agencies across the Bay Area to design civic, educational, and operational facilities that serve communities for generations. One lesson has remained consistent: direct Principal involvement is essential to ensuring clarity, accountability, and thoughtful decision-making. This level of leadership is a cornerstone of our approach, and the City of Alameda will benefit from hands-on guidance from our most experienced team members.

Our team brings deep experience with a wide range of task orders similar in size, scope, and complexity to those anticipated under this contract, including modernization, adaptive reuse, and ground-up construction. We are particularly adept at working within existing buildings and constrained sites — a frequent condition in communities like Alameda. Whether responding to an urgent facility need or planning a phased improvement over time, we are equipped with the tools, systems, and experienced designers to deliver practical, cost-conscious solutions.

Above all, we are collaborative partners. We thrive in the on-call environment, where responsiveness and clear communication are critical. Our process is systematic yet flexible — built to adapt to the evolving needs of each project and client. With each task order, we bring fresh thinking, local insight, and a commitment to advancing the goals of the City and the people it serves.

Tiffanie is a seasoned designer with decades of experience across various markets, including commercial, hospitality, workplace, landlord services and residential design.

This breadth of experience allows her to draw upon a wide resource of ideas, philosophies and practices, resulting in unique and fresh designs. Her most recent project work has been in the workplace sector, where she had the opportunity to design a wide variety of spaces, including front facing public areas such as entrance lobbies and executive briefing centers, amenity spaces such as fitness centers, conference centers, cafeterias and even labs.

Tiffanie also has significant experience pre-design services such as visioning, programming and feasibility studies. Several of her past clients were master service agreements which involved campus designs and the creation/maintenance/rollout of corporate standards. She hedges the analog/digital divide with her ability to visually communicate ideas in either BIM software or pen and paper sketches. She goes to great lengths to engage the client as much as possible and to keep the communication flowing for the project’s duration. By her definition, the success of a project is measured not by aesthetics, but rather by goals met, and client satisfaction.

Having researched, taught, and practiced sustainable architecture for two decades, Payman Sadeghi joined dsk’s NorCal office in 2021. He views architecture through the lenses of sustainability and high-performance design. As the Sustainable Design Lead at dsk, Payman has played key roles in various stages of architectural delivery, from research and programming to design, construction, and post-occupancy evaluation. His expertise lies in applying innovative building science concepts to an integrated design process that aims for context-responsive solutions. Payman’s efforts have consistently pushed the bounds of sustainable design, all while seeking creative and practical methods to bring projects to fruition. Examples include collaborating with SMMUSD, SFUSD, SSFUSD, and OUSD to enhance sustainability performance while maintaining occupant comfort addressing aspects such as Energy, Carbon, Water, Waste, Diversity, Health and Well-Being, Food, Heating, Cooling, Ventilation, Air Quality, Daylighting, and Views. Also, his proficiency in the use of performance-driven software informs design and decision-making, as demonstrated in dsk’s sustainability efforts booklet.

17 C. ORGANIZATION QUALIFICATIONS
Firm Background and Experience
dsk architects LLP , led by principals Amir Kakavand, Mark Seiberlich, Jeff Fuller, Randy Dettmer and Brett McCune, is a Limited Liability Partnership established in 2006, and has spent the past 18 years working in Public Agency, Healthcare, Interior and Commercial design. From project assessment to schematic design, DSA approval, and Construction Administration, our wealth of experience helps us spot challenges early, and begin implementing solutions quickly. Our staff of 36 includes 14 licensed architects, and nine LEED associates. Our firm is at a unique advantage of being large enough to provide comprehensive architectural services while small enough to cater to individual Client needs.

Experts in Public Projects
Our core practice is in providing design services to public clients using an approach that combines our extensive expertise with technological resources. Working in California since the 1980s, our partners have gained a vast array of knowledge on the issues, concerns and technical necessities associated with good civic design. We are experienced with state and local agencies and local fire and building codes. We understand the dynamics of community stakeholders, funding allocation, operational needs, and maintenance issues. Just as importantly, we understand the need to respond to the limitations of budgets.

Full-Service, In-House Capabilities
With dsk, the City of Alameda gains a multi-disciplinary team that already knows how to work together — no silos, no delays. We have an integrated team of architects, interior designers, accessibility specialists, and high-performance and sustainablity design experts, all under one roof. We emphasize sustainability in our projects, ensuring that our designs not only meet current environmental standards but also contribute positively to the communities they serve. Additionally, dsk proactively hosts in- house training sessions such as: continuing education webinars and seminars, Code seminars, Revit/ BIM standards training, and project "lessons learned" sessions.

Proven Track Record with IDIQ and On-Call Contracts
We are incredibly proud of our proven track record of responsiveness, communication and technical excellence, which make us a trusted partner of public agencies across the State. dsk is adept at providing design services to our public clients, responding to both critical need and planned upgrades. We have current Master Agreements or are in Qualified Architectural Pools for more than 30 public agencies, including School Districts, Public Colleges and Universities, and the California High Speed Rail Authority.

Our proven track record of excellence with contracts that are “on-call” in nature make us uniquely suited to this work.

Commitment to Community + Civic Design
We believe that buildings should be not only functional but beautiful spaces that inspire all generations of Alameda residents and encourage civic involvement. Architecture combines form and function, and public and government-owned facilities must incorporate artful design while maintaining efficiency in operations and maintenance, should be sustainably designed and built to last, and should always be accessible and safe for all users. We understand the importance of engaging stakeholders, designing within the context of local communities, and providing design solutions that encourage thoughtful and efficient use of public funds.

Sustainability + Accessibility Expertise
Sustainable design practices are a first, default choice on all our projects. Basics like energy efficient windows and lighting, low- or no-VOC finish materials, low-flow fixtures, daylighting, and solar orientation are a given on any project we touch. We always look for opportunities to go further and to do more with green design, including opportunities for on-site solar or wind energy, run-off management, adaptive re-use of existing buildings or materials, siting for passive cooling and ventilation, and especially - opportunities to make green building systems into teachable elements for the community. We bring sustainable thinking to every project, whether it seeks a certification or not.

Small Firm Agility with Large-Firm Expertise
In our 18 years as a firm, we have designed a wide variety of facilities for public agency clients, and through this experience we have learned one thing to be true: Management of projects by the Principal is essential to provide the insight and responsibilities projects like City of Alameda’s demand and this is a cornerstone of our approach to every project. We strongly believe that the best solutions result from close and ongoing collaboration with the client and we prioritize responsiveness, both at the outset of a project and throughout the completion of our services.

24 C. ORGANIZATION QUALIFICATIONS

ESTUARY PARK, ALAMEDA, CA
The City of Alameda initiated the design and construction of the first phase of the Estuary Park athletic field project, which was lead by Verde Design. This 8-acre site, which was formerly utilized by the U.S. Navy for athletic fields and soil stockpiling, has remained dormant for several years. The design process was highly collaborative, incorporating feedback and guidance from community members, user groups, and staff from the Recreation and Park Commission. The project was anchored by fundamental principles aimed at creating spaces, activities, and features that cater to a wide array of users. As a result, the facility boasts a variety of engaging elements, including a specialized “Challenger” baseball field and a lighted synthetic turf multi-use field designed to accommodate soccer, rugby, football, and field hockey.

Looking ahead, Phase 2 of the project is set to enhance the park with additional amenities, such as a multi-age playground featuring integrated seating, picnic and BBQ areas, pickleball courts, basketball and Bankshot courts, a dog park, and informal lawn spaces. A newly designed network of lighted pathways, along with updated restroom facilities, parking, and a bay-friendly landscape and irrigation system, will cohesively connect the entire park. Verde Design worked closely with user groups and City staff to formulate the overall design of the park, as well as to create a comprehensive construction plan package that includes detailed plans, specifications, and cost estimates for the phased development of the project.

Representative Project
City of Burlingame, New Community Center, New Design, Burlingame, CA Degenkolb designed the two-story, 36,000-square-foot, new community center in Burlingame, CA. The geometrically unique building features butterfly roofs with varying heights, large picture and ribbon windows, and underground parking. Shaped like an arc composed of three main pavilions, the building features three cantilevered roofs. The complex geometry, coupled with the canted features at three different roof locations, created irregularities throughout, requiring extensive custom detailing, with almost no two conditions the same. Solar PV panels on the three pavilion roofs and a green roof over a smaller section contribute to the building achieving net-zero. Since its completion, the Community Center has received the AIA San Mateo Green Building Award, the California Parks and Recreation Society Award of Excellence and the Peninsula Clean Energy All- Electric Leadership Award.

01 For this project the dsk team collected information for each site including As-Builts and information on existing Door Access systems and conducted site walks to verify existing conditions.

Findings for each site were documented and analyzed and construction cost estimates were prepared for each site. The dsk team also produced design and construction schedules and the Final Assessment Report. dsk worked in close coordination with the school sites and DOT and provided preparation of specifications.

REMOTE DOOR ACCESS ASSESSMENT AT 33 DISTRICT SITES

SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

CLIENT CONTACT
Initially, the District retained dsk to prepare a comprehensive feasibility study of the site to determine whether a new building would be more economical than a renovation. The historical significance of the buildings within the community resulted in the District’s final decision to move forward with full modernization. The layout of common areas, classrooms, and administrative core was reworked, improving efficiency for interior paths of travel. Hazardous materials were removed and all finishes were upgraded, in addition to ADA accessibility improvements throughout the campus. An upgraded building envelope and façade provide better thermal and moisture protection, and a new paint scheme provides a much-needed facelift for the campus.

The kitchen was upgraded to meet health codes. Energy-efficiency and sustainability upgrades include new LED lighting with individual classroom controls, a new roof with R30 insulation, and the replacement of existing natural gas boilers and radiators with an electric variable refrigerant flow system (VRF).

SAN LORENZO, CA
03 dsk architects partnered with American Modular Systems to provide a cost-effective and custom solution for much-needed new classrooms. The project includes three new modular classroom buildings, with one devoted exclusively to special needs education. Two general education classroom buildings add an additional five classrooms. Custom architectural finishes were added to elevate the project, including architectural bump-outs, full-wall marker boards and exterior metal cladding. Custom operable windows allow for improved ventilation, more access to daylight, and result in energy savings for the campus. An outdoor learning classroom was created adjacent to the new classroom buildings and features green space, grassy areas and amphitheater-style seating. Shade structures, built on-site, were added to the parapet roof for a modern look.

CASTRO VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

RELEVANT RECENT ON-CALL/MASTER AGREEMENT PROJECTS

CASTRO VALLEY , CA
04 PLTW is a computer science and engineering program for Castro Valley High School that prepares students for technology fields post-graduation. In order to facilitate this program, a modernization of existing facilities is needed.

The scope of work for the project involves building a new mezzanine floor in the two larger rooms to accommodate for an additional four new classrooms to the two existing instructional spaces. To add these new rooms to the existing building, automatic fire sprinklers, structural upgrades, and new vertical circulation were required. As part of the Division of State Architect approval process, a pre-submittal meeting was held to determine what would be required for DSA submission and approval. DSA required the project to have a rehabilitation report (REH) submission and approval prior to project plans and specification submittal. As part of the report, testing and visual inspections were required as well.

Castro Valley High School’s Health and Wellness Center is designed to be a space for students to visit when they have issues outside of academics. The North Wing provides additional classrooms for the High School’s use, while the South Wing provides the clinic for student needs.

The courtyard is designed as a safe and inviting gathering space, where students can congregate and be free from the troubles of teenage life.

The District’s main goal is to provide tools for creating a supportive learning environment that reduces drop-outs, and absences.

At Creekside Middle School, dsk architects found that the District owned more land than originally indicated. An additional 4.2 acres of land was identified and added to the campus master plan during the schematic design phase. In Phase 1, athletic fields were modernized, a priority for the campus due to high demand from both student athletes and local community groups that also utilized the facilities outside of school hours. Upgrades included a new track, new baseball fields and two soccer fields. In Phase 2 the dsk team completed a traffic simulation to visualize best solutions to traffic congestion related to student drop-off. dsk then used VISSIM PTV, a traffic simulation program, to simulate the conceptual flow of the traffic based on the data. Aerial drone footage is used to corroborate the simulation, and adjustments can be made in the software to reflect “real-world” conditions.

E. LIABILITY AND MEDICAL EXPENSES GENERAL CONDITIONS

Bankruptcy or insolvency of the insured or of the insured's estate will not relieve us of our obligations under this Coverage Part.

2. Duties In The Event Of Occurrence, Offense, Claim Or Suit a. Notice Of Occurrence Or Offense

(1) Immediately record the specifics of the claim or "suit" and the date received; and (2) Notify us as soon as practicable.

You or any additional insured under this Coverage Part must see to it that we receive a written notice of the claim or "suit" as soon as practicable.

Obligations At The Insured's Own Cost
No insured will, except at that insured's own cost, voluntarily make a payment, assume any obligation, or incur any expense, other than for first aid, without our consent. e. Additional Insured's Other Insurance
If we cover a claim or "suit" under this Coverage Part that may also be covered by other insurance available to an additional insured under this Coverage Part, such additional insured must submit such claim or "suit" to the other insurer for defense and indemnity.

A person or organization may sue us to recover on an agreed settlement or on a final judgment against an insured; but we will not be liable for damages that are not payable under the terms of this insurance or that are in excess of the applicable limit of insurance. An agreed settlement means a settlement and release of liability signed by us, the insured and the claimant or the claimant's legal representative.

4. Separation Of Insureds

6. Other Insurance
If other valid and collectible insurance is available for a loss we cover under this Coverage Part, our obligations are limited as follows:
a. Primary Insurance
This insurance is primary except when b. below applies. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below. b. Excess Insurance
This insurance is excess over any of the other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis:
(1) Your Work
That is Fire, Extended Coverage, Builder's Risk, Installation Risk, Owner Controlled Insurance Program or OCIP, Contractor Controlled Insurance Program or CCIP, Wrap Up Insurance or similar coverage for "your work";

© 2018, The Hartford
(May include copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission) (2) Premises Rented To You
That is fire, lightning or explosion insurance for premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner;
(3) Tenant Liability
That is insurance purchased by you to cover your liability as a tenant for "property damage" to premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; (4) Aircraft, Auto Or Watercraft
If the loss arises out of the maintenance or use of aircraft, "autos" or watercraft to the extent not subject to Exclusion g. of Section B. Exclusions.
(5) Property Damage To Borrowed Equipment Or Use Of Elevators If the loss arises out of "property damage" to borrowed equipment or the use of elevators to the extent not subject to Exclusion k. of Section B. Exclusions.
(6) When You Are Added As An Additional Insured To Other Insurance That is other insurance available to you covering liability for damages arising out of the premises or operations, or products and completed operations, for which you have been added as an additional insured by that insurance; or
(7) When You Add Others As An Additional Insured To This Insurance That is other insurance available to an additional insured.

However, the following provisions apply to other insurance available to any person or organization who is an additional insured under this Coverage Part:
(a) Primary Insurance When Required By Contract
This insurance is primary if you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance be primary. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below.
(b) Primary And Non-Contributory To Other Insurance When Required By Contract If you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured's own insurance, this insurance is primary and we will not seek contribution from that other insurance.

Paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to other insurance to which the additional insured has been added as an additional insured.

When this insurance is excess, we will have no duty under this Coverage Part to defend the insured against any "suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend the insured against that "suit". If no other insurer defends, we will undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the insured's rights against all those other insurers.

When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of:
(1) The total amount that all such other insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of this insurance; and
(2) The total of all deductible and self-insured amounts under all that other insurance.

We will share the remaining loss, if any, with any other insurance that is not described in this Excess Insurance provision and was not bought specifically to apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations of this Coverage Part.
c. Method Of Sharing
If all the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach, each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first.

Docusign Envelope ID: 352B92EE-8DDC-46F9-BE09-A925F3D71ED2 Docusign Envelope ID: 2CADF93D-A402-4E28-B7B0-E7596E31B901 Form SL 00 00 10 18 Page 18 of 22
© 2018, The Hartford
(May include copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission) If any of the other insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer’s share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers.

7. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us
a. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery
If the insured has rights to recover all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, those rights are transferred to us. The insured must do nothing after loss to impair them. At our request, the insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and help us enforce them. This condition does not apply to Medical Expenses Coverage. b. Waiver Of Rights Of Recovery (Waiver Of Subrogation) If the insured has waived any rights of recovery against any person or organization for all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, we also waive that right, provided the insured waived their rights of recovery against such person or organization in a contract, agreement or permit that was executed prior to the injury or damage.
