All of our projects begin with a thorough understanding of the project in the context of its site, other related improvements and public needs. Our efforts typically include evaluating existing conditions, determining spatial needs and documenting project goals, which serve as a strategic foundation for planning and decision- making. Siegel & Strain's core strengths of listening, stakeholder and community engagement, integrated sustainable design problem-solving, and partnership align directly with the City of Alameda's mission, vision and values.
We understand the challenges and expectations that public agencies face, and we tailor our work processes and services accordingly. Since 2008, we have had an indefinite delivery/ indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with the National Park Service, under which we have completed projects as small as comfort stations (AKA restroom buildings) and as prominent as park visitor centers. What these projects have in common is the need for creative and affordable architectural responses, the ability to build consensus for projects with a wide variety of stakeholders, and the knowledge and experience to provide the right service and solution for the specific project at hand.
We invite you to speak to our references to hear more about our effectiveness and success with on- call work.

TEAM ORGANIZATION
Siegel & Strain has worked on many on-call contracts for public agencies, including the City of Berkeley, City of Brisbane, the National Park Service, Sonoma County Library and Mendocino County Library. We have established relationships with numerous non-profit organizations, public utilities, camps, and retreat centers which has led to repeat contracts. We know how to respond quickly to multiple task orders, clarify scopes of service, assemble the right team, and work effectively with client groups and staff to get quality projects completed on time and on budget.
Our Principal in Charge and On-Call Manager Karen Richards will be your day-to-day contact and provide continuity throughout the five- year contract. For each project assigned, Karen will work with City staff to define the project, create a specific scope of services and list of deliverables, and develop a fee and schedule that best meets the needs of the City and the project. She will determine the appropriate Siegel & Strain staff and consultants to assign to the project and assess whether any specialty consultants or services are required
All Siegel & Strain staff work out of our Emeryville office, less than 10 miles from Alameda City Hall. You'll note in the Team Organization Chart on the next page that we've provided multiple project managers/project architects.
Matt Gilroy, Laura Levenberg and Jen Tai have experience managing small- to medium-sized projects for public and non-profit clients - including assessments, master plans, decarbonization projects, renovation and new construction. They represent the stable of Siegel & Strain project managers available to staff the City's on-call work and will be assigned to projects based on the type, size, schedule and availability.
Our multi-disciplinary team of exceptional consultants cover the range of expertise that may be required for your projects. We have proposed multiple consultants in a few disciplines to ensure that we can provide the right team for any project assigned, given the size, scope and nature of the work.

WORK PLAN
DECISION-MAKING PROCESS AND LEADERSHIP
Ultimately project decisions fall to the client. On community-serving projects for the City of Alameda, the client group may include city staff, elected officials and appointed commissioners.w As project leaders and partners, Siegel & Strain Architects will assist in providing you the information you need to make well-informed decisions required to advance the project. We help guide the expertise, passion and knowledge of the City Project Team, key stakeholders, community representatives, neighbors and our consultants so that City Leadership - staff, commissioners and councilmembers - can make informed recommendations and decisions based on:
• Good information that builds on the work completed to date and new information surfaced by this process;
• An interactive design process led by the City and design team with appropriate engagement, communication and updates with neighbors, the larger community, City staff, Commissioners and Councilmembers;
A unified vision and design that grows out of a good process and McClellan Ranch Environmental that we can all stand behind Education Center, Cupertino
PARTNERSHIP
We look to partner with the City's Project Teams to create an integrated design that maximizes opportunities and delivers beautiful and well- functioning projects for years to come. The key outcome of our integrated design approach is a project solution that looks at the whole, not just pieces, while integrating programmatic, social and technical systems into a design. We press the opportunities presented by the site, context, program and budget to their fullest potential.
COLLABORATION
Our integrative process is characterized by ongoing collaboration with the client group in a variety of formats, such as regularly scheduled check- ins with the City Project Manager and Team, and occasional focused work sessions with the broader City Project Team. While we embrace the efficiency of virtual meetings for regular check-ins and updates, when possible and appropriate we prefer in-person sessions for setting goals, programming and design discussions as we have found them to be more efficient and effective.

PROJECT FRAMEWORK
Our work plans include a work session with the City Project Team early in the process to confirm project goals and to identify, evaluate and dele Shirt Bulläns...
rank project opportunities and constraints. These become the project framework - the armature on which a design is created. We jointly develop and evaluate the design, using this framework of goals, opportunities and constraints as project guides and parameters. We structure our collaboration and process to assist the City make informed decisions and mitigate risks by balancing project budget, goals and constraints in context of the Bay Area's volatile construction cost climate.
DESIGN SERVICES
Our approach to delivering architectural services is designed to be engaging, efficient and focused while managing expectations and keeping the project on track.
Berkeley Civic Center Vision Plan
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Siegel & Strain Architects has a successful track record for managing project costs and schedules while maintaining a high quality of design. Our approach to minimizing change orders is to prepare complete, coordinated and comprehensive technical documentation. As your design partner and advisor on architectural projects, we will keep the City and the design team apprised of design progress, approaching milestones and any issues or changes to scope, fee and design direction we see developing. Projects include weekly or twice monthly project management calls to keep the project on track and expectations aligned. Good budget and schedule control are based on:
• Frequent communication
• Timely flow of information
• Regular in-person and web-based meetings
• Clear goals and deliverables
• In-house peer review of final documents
PROJECT INITIATION
As mentioned above, we typically host a project kick-off meeting with the City Project Team to establish and confirm project parameters, review key project elements and clarify project management components to develop and enforce a shared understanding of the project. The agenda for these kick-off meetings may include:
• Project description, goals and priorities
• Project team
• Design team scope (and fee with some participants)
Project budget
• Schedule of project meetings, workshops (as needed) and key milestones

PRE-DESIGN SERVICES
Our pre-design phase typically starts with a deep dive into project understanding. We gather information, develop project goals, list spaces and spatial needs based on desired uses and experiences, and document project parameters including project budget, building codes and zoning regulations. This includes mapping site opportunities and constraints related to the existing conditions, environmental factors and physical considerations. If necessary and with assistance from the project's consultant team, we can assist in the preparation of a topographic survey, as-built drawings, geotechnical and arborist reports and other necessary existing conditions documentation. With assistance from consultants, we can also identify existing life safety, seismic and accessibility code deficiencies and evaluate the condition of the structural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems and architectural materials and finishes A key deliverable for this phase is a well-defined architectural spatial program outlining uses and spatial needs. The spatial program is developed with direct input from the City Project Team (including program providers) Berkeley Tuolumne Camp,
and stakeholders, and organized into a concise list of spaces, specific needs Stanislaus National Forest
and adjacency requirements.
PLANNING AND CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
During this phase we engage City staff and stakeholders in the development of a project plan and conceptual design. Project parameters developed during the Pre-Design Phase are tested, further defined and refined to a conceptual level. Key deliverables include development of alternative designs plans and basic outlines of building systems. With City staff and stakeholders' input, we analyze alternatives against the established goals and priorities, and together make informed decisions on what goes where and why. It is during this phase that project design direction, project budget and approval process, and identification of all permitting requirements, including environmental assessments, are clarified and understood. (We have a strong track record working with County, Regional and Federal Agencies on complex issues and sites, including US Army Corps, BCDC, Regional Water Board, Coastal Commission, and the California Department of Fish & Game.) Once a project is defined and a 600 conceptual design is approved, the subsequent required environmental assessments, design and construction phases can be fairly straightforward Keiser Park Master Plan, Windsor SCHEMATIC DESIGN
Our focus during this phase is to set the project design in plan and massing, with input from the City, the project stakeholders and the consultant team. We document a basis of design for the project systems, namely structural, mechanical and electrical, and building materials. We use three-dimensional modeling tools for the architectural massing and rely on our and our consultants' working knowledge of building structure, construction, envelope performance in this climate, and electrical and mechanical systems for energy loads and thermal comfort.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
During this phase we integrate the building systems into the architectural design, focusing specifically on critical design, coordination and cost items.
We begin thermal and energy modeling of the building during this phase, and, if required, we prepare documents for project submission to the Planning Department for Zoning Compliance, Variances, Signage Permits, and/or Design Review.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
The CD phase usually has up to four milestones, one or two for coordination and construction cost estimating, one for permit and one for bidding. We also prepare a conform set for construction following the bid and permitting process if necessary.
CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION &
POST-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
It is our experience that attentive participation in construction Berkeley Tuolumne Camp, administration for publicly bid projects is critical to the success of a project.
Stanislaus National Forest Siegel & Strain has systems in place to respond to RFl's and prepare field reports; to review shop drawing submittals, proposal requests and pay applications; and to issue Supplemental Instructions in a timely fashion with detailed information. We have a track record of projects completed on time and on budget, which we know requires an excellent working relationship with the project's builders. This is often the phase where our construction knowledge and experience on similar projects is of greatest value to our clients. We will track revisions to documents during this phase for accurate completion of as-builts for your records and future use.
CONSTRUCTION BUDGET AND COST MANAGEMENT
Our approach to managing construction costs is twofold: provide construction cost estimates at each milestone and value engineer as we go. We provide construction cost estimates at each milestone and we work with the City Project Team and stakeholders as required to ensure that projects stay on schedule and on budget. We also seek the City's approval before moving onto the next design phase to ensure a very clear understanding on where we are in the design effort and what the project includes (and doesn't include) every step of the way.
Working with our construction cost estimators, our approach to construction cost estimating and reporting is to provide the City with a flexible tool to track estimated cost changes of those elements as the design evolves and throughout the project. At the outset we determine how cost estimate information should be organized and summarized in order to best serve the City's process of evaluating project options and to identify any element tied to restricted funding (i.e. seismic bracing) Jess Jackson Winery Building, or designated as discretionary or optional or as a way to determine the UC Davis major cost drivers. We maintain this summary format through the pre- construction process for easy comparison between successive design phases and to bid schedule breakdowns in variance reports. Establishing and maintaining continuity in the format throughout the pre-construction process enables us to better track and highlight changes.
SIEGEL & STRAIN ARCHITECTS 11
Docusign Envelope ID: 00AB0A4E-1493-4DA5-AFC4-88D672249162 As a safeguard against unpredictable market forces and as the design evolves, we will lead the City through a prioritization exercise to establish critical, must-have components and those considered to be discretionary, nice-to-have components at each milestone should the estimate exceed the budget. We carry this same sensibility forward into our bid documents with a clearly defined base bid and a series of bid alternates to provide further bid protection.
QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL
Siegel & Strain Architects is committed to maintaining the highest level of quality control for our projects, and understands the extra level of thoroughness required for the public bid process. Our commitment starts with a complete and well-coordinated set of documents. We believe in showing all conditions necessary to give a thorough understanding of the building and in detailing all important conditions. Complete documents aid 9 DE in quality control and cost control in two ways:
1. They insure that we anticipate and document all conditions, Berkeley Tuolumne Camp, thereby minimizing change orders, and, Stanislaus National Forest 2. They provide bidders with the information required to make accurate bids.
We continue our QC process by incorporating time in the schedule of deliverables to ensure that consultant drawings are thoroughly reviewed and coordinated prior to the delivery of drawings to the client. At completion of major phases in the project, we have a staff senior architect, not actively working on your project, perform an in-house peer review to check for issues of coordination and conformity.
During the construction phase of your project we expect to be on site on a regular basis to both attend progress meetings and observe construction.
We will also perform other construction administration services including submittal review, response to REl's, and reviewing potential change orders and contractor invoices. We would expect to work closely with your construction manager on these items.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Sustainability has been central to our practice since the early 1990s, from the selection of durable, non-toxic materials to minimizing embodied carbon to reducing operations cost. Our approach is founded on understanding the physical, climatic, and cultural context, including local sustainability goals. We incorporate passive design strategies that optimize function and wellbeing, and minimize energy and water use. High- performing building envelope strategies lead to smaller, more efficient, and less complex building systems. We select materials that are easy to maintain and regionally available. We design spaces that can be adapted for new uses over the life of the building.
APPROACH TO RENOVATION
Our approach to renovation begins by gathering and studying all available information on the existing site and structures (including original building drawings, maintenance records, documentation of completed upgrades and renovations etc, completing a thorough existing conditions investigation of Orinda City Hall (LEED Gold Certified) the site, buildings, and their associated systems, and understanding current code and permit issues, and the amount of work which may trigger code upgrades. To arrive at a successful renovation scheme for any project, it is fundamental to document and understand the existing conditions of the structure and site of which you intend to improve. We ask that our entire design team, as well as the client and those familiar with the site, attend the site visit to collectively collaborate about the conditions we observe.
In this way, the larger team identifies and together becomes aware of the inherent opportunities and constraints on the site. Some existing conditions may lend themselves to achieving the desired outcomes. For example, existing tall ceilings may more easily accommodate technological upgrades, or building placement on the site or mature landscape may offer inherent environmental benefits. Conversely, the more challenging conditions of a site or structure that are identified point out potentially costly repairs and opportunities for creative rethinking around investment in building envelope and system upgrades. We are unafraid of the nitty gritty details of renovation work, and instead imbed our work in it. For this reason, we've become excellent at identifying the inherent opportunities and constraints within existing environments.
"Siegel & Strain designed a new library for the City of Brisbane that is loved by our residents for its capture of the City's relationship with the adjoining San Bruno Mountain, and that also won an AlA People's Choice Award! Subsequently, S&S was tasked with the TI for our Administrative Annex; once again, their work was well-received by the occupants of that new space.
Brisbane is definitely looking forward to other opportunities to engage with Siegel & Strain based on their ability to turn clients' dreams into beautiful and well-functioning buildings."
