Downtown Tulare, and specifically Zumwalt Park, needed a boost. The City saw its potential —not just as a park, but as a central gathering place and economic catalyst for the entire downtown core. RRM partnered with the City to reimagine the park from the ground up. Our team led the project from early visioning through entitlement and construction documents. Early on, we hosted an open house -style community event to shape the design around what residents wanted most: an active, welcoming space that could support. a wide range of community uses.

The new Zumwalt Park delivers just that. At its center is the Adventist Health Amphitheater, complete with a stage, green room, dressing rooms, terraced seating;, and a cooling misting system. We also added a splash pad, a modern playground,, enhanced landscaping and lighting, new restrooms, a refreshed gazebo, and thoughtful streetscape improvements.

Funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARRA), the park officially reopened in 2025. Since then, it has become a vibrant community hula, hosting concerts, festivals, fitness classes, and public events —many programmed in partnership with Spade Entertainment. The renewed Zumwalt Park is helping breathe new life into downtown Tulare.

Exhibit "A" Scope of Services

Task 1: Project Initiation and Feasibility Phase
Subtask 1.01: Project Kickoff Meeting & Field Investigation RRM will conduct one (1) virtual kickoff meeting attended by the City's project management team, key Parks and Recreation staff, and key RRM team members will attend this meeting. Principally, this meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss and confirm the key park program elements as presented in the RFP and required by the grant.

Following the kickoff meeting, RRM and the project team will be available to walk the project site with City staff to discuss the project further and review it in greater detail. The site walk will provide an opportunity to inspect and photo log the existing facilities, including Ross Hall, amphitheater location, shade sail locations, sports courts, and landscape areas.

Deliverables:
• Prepare for and conduct one (1) virtual kickoff meeting and one (1) site walk • Meeting notes
Subtask 1.02: Background Data and Collection Review
RRM will collect from the city relevant project data for the design effort, including but not limited to:
• Existing improvement drawings for the park and historic structures • Record data
• City GIS databases
• City utility information and plans
• Recreation and event programming plans
• Underground and overhead utility plat maps and data
• Standard City details and specifications
• Sample bid documents (plans and specifications) from recent similar projects RRM's team will review this data for completeness and may request additional information from the City, as necessary, to analyze the project background and establish a database that will play a critical role in assessing all aspects of the park's design.

Deliverables:
• Collect and review relevant data as noted above.
• Compile data in a portable file for use by the Client and design team.

Subtask 1.03: Topographic Survey/Base Mapping
RRM will conduct survey work to create a base map file suitable for conceptual engineering and design work. The topographic survey work will include the following components:

Aerial Photo Control and Coordination

Veterans Park Renovation
Exhibit "A" Scope of Services

RRM will facilitate the coordination of aerial mapping with an aerial photogrammetrist. This task will include establishing horizontal and vertical survey control. Horizontal control will be based on California State Plane Coordinates. The vertical datum will be established from National Geodetic Survey monuments and will be North American Vertical Datum 1988. RRM's surveyors will coordinate with the photogrammetrist to obtain aerial photography suitable for compiling a topographic map at a scale of 1" = 20' showing contours at 0.5 -foot intervals with planimetric features, including detail on roads, structures, fences, power poles, trees, brush, and other aboveground features according to standard practice. The contour information on the aerial mapping will only be visible in the open areas. The areas obstructed by tree cover will not show contour information. Accuracy will equal or exceed national map accuracy standards for large-scale topographic maps compiled by photogrammetric methods. The finished product will be available in a digital format compatible with AutoCAD Civil 3D.

Supplemental Topographic Survey
RRM will perform topographic surveying and mapping to supplement aerial photography. The collected data will be incorporated into a digital base map for use in the design. Topographic spot elevations will be taken to quality control the elevations shown on the aerial mapping. The horizontal and vertical datum will be based on the CCS83 (2011) State Plane Coordinates and NAVD 88 when suitable local agency datum's are unavailable
• Contours at one -foot intervals
• Footprints of existing buildings and other structures • Trees greater than 2" in diameter with trunk diameter (dbh) and canopy • Above ground evidence of utilities, location and invert at accessible storm drain manholes, inlets and sanitary sewer manholes, water valves, fire hydrants, light standards, electric boxes, valve boxes and power poles, including sidewalks, curb, gutter and mow curbs • Other features as required by the design team
Deliverables:
• Digital topographic map file in AutoCAD format.
• Digital Terrain Model
• Color digital orthophotos.

Subtask 1.04: Geotechnical Investigation
RRM's Geotechnical consultant, GPI, will prepare a geotechnical investigation report suitable for support of schematic planning and construction documents for Veterans Park in Bell Gardens. This will include review of readily available background materials and data including published geologic and seismic hazard maps, groundwater data, topographic maps, and geotechnical data. A site reconnaissance will be conducted to document the surficial geological conditions on site and mark proposed locations for clearance by site personnel and Underground Service Alert (USA).

Subsurface exploration will be accomplished through 8 exploratory borings drilled to depths of 10 to 20 feet (5 at 10 feet and 3 at 20 feet) below the existing grade. Two infiltration test wells will also be installed

Veterans Park Renovation
Exhibit "A" Scope of Services

to depths of 5 at locations requested by the Project Civil Engineer. The borings will be drilled with a track - mounted drill rig or hand -auger equipment and will be logged by our Engineer. Relatively undisturbed and bulk samples will be obtained at selected intervals from the borings. The soil samples will be transported to our City of Los Angeles and DSA approved laboratory for testing. The geotechnical evaluation results will be compiled in a report providing findings, conclusions, and geotechnical recommendations for design and construction of improvements.

A geotechnical investigation report will be prepared illustrating the locations of borings, boring logs, and presenting laboratory analysis results. The report will include a general discussion of and geotechnical design recommendations for the structures planned (minor buildings, stage, light standards, retaining walls, fence/pole foundations, hardscape, and pavements). We will also include a conclusion on the suitability of the site for the proposed construction from a geotechnical perspective, description of geology and soils, seismic hazards, mitigations alternatives as appropriate, depth of groundwater, and infiltration rates.

Deliverables:
• Geotechnical Investigation Report
Subtask 1.05: CEQA Compliance
Improvements for Veterans Park would be considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and will require appropriate environmental compliance documentation. Article 19 of the CEQA Guidelines provides a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and therefore can be exempt from the provisions of CEQA. The scope of work includes improvements in the park mainly to upgrade existing facilities such as the renovation of existing sports courts, and the renovation and relocation of a bathroom building and storage building. Other proposed enhancements include new gardens, picnic areas, a shade sails, lighting improvements, an amphitheater, and refreshed landscaping. Based on these assumptions, the project preliminarily appears to qualify for a Categorical Exemption through several categories including Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction), Class 4 (Minor Alterations to Land), and Class 23 (Normal Operations of Facilities for Public Gatherings).

RRM proposes to analyze the project for CEQA compliance and anticipates preparation of a Notice of Exemption (NOE) using the standard Notice of Exemption form contained in Appendix E of the CEQA Guidelines with a brief supporting analysis relying on existing available information. No new technical analyses are proposed. Within five days following the approval of park improvements, RRM will post the NOE with the County of Los Angeles County Clerk, and City staff will be responsible for posting the NOE at City facilities. In the event proposed improvements are more substantial and determined to potentially have a significant effect on the environment, RRM would outline needed strategies, and this task and budget would be reviewed and rescoped as needed.

Veterans Park Restroom Renovation
Exhibit "A" Scope of Services

Deliverables:
• Prepare for and attend one (1) pre -construction conference • RFI, CO, submittal reviews, shop drawings responses, supplemental instructions, and general record -keeping documents
Subtask 3.O3: Construction Observation
RRM's Project Architect will prepare for and attend up to seven (7) field observation meetings throughout the anticipated 180 -calendar day (6 -month) construction period to observe construction progress.

These site visits and observations are not intended to be an exhaustive check or a detailed inspection of the Contractor's work, but rather are to allow RRM to become generally familiar with the work in progress and to determine, in general, if the work is proceeding in accordance with the contract documents. RRM's design team shall not supervise, direct, or have control over the Contractor's work, nor have any responsibility for the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures selected by the Contractor, nor for the Contractor's safety precautions or programs in connection with the work. These rights and responsibilities are solely those of the Contractor in accordance with the contract documents.

Furthermore, the Contractor shall be responsible for notifying RRM in a timely manner to schedule these field observation meetings. RRM's team shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions of the Contractor, Subcontractor, any entity performing any portion of the work, or any agents or employees of any of them.

RRM does not guarantee the performance of the contractor and shall not be responsible for the Contractor's failure to perform work in accordance with the contract documents or any applicable laws, codes, rules, or regulations. Due to the indeterminate nature of the construction observation requests, this task includes budget for meeting quantity stated above. If more construction observation requests are received, they are to be authorized by the City as additional work.

Deliverables:
• Prepare for and attend seven (7) construction observation meetings (final observation to include a preliminary punch list)
• Field notes and photo documentation
Subtask 3.04: Record Drawings
Upon completion of construction work, RRM will compile and deliver to the City a reproducible set of record drawings based upon the marked -up as -built drawings, addenda, change orders, and other data furnished by the Contractor. These record drawings will show significant changes made during construction. RRM will provide record drawings in PDF format. Revised CAD drawings are excluded from this exercise. Because these record drawings are based on unverified information provided by a third -party, which RRM shall assume will be reliable, RRM cannot and does not warrant their accuracy. RRM will develop a "composite utility map" PDF markup of all utilities for the City's reference and convenience.

Deliverables:
• One (1) reproducible PDF set of record drawings based on contractor provided as-builts

Deliverables:
• Prepare for and facilitate up to eight (8) virtual PDT meetings • Prepare and distribute meeting notes
Subtask 4.03: QA/QC Review
At the 100% construction document milestone, RRM will conduct an internal QA/QC review. RRM assigns an in-house QA/QC manager who is not a part of the design team. Using RRM's QA/QC checklist, a QA/QC team that is not part of the design team will review the project to ensure disciplines are fully coordinated, key information is included, references point to the correct location, and specifications tied into the drawings. This review, and corrective measures, will occur prior to the 100% package being submitted to the City.

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Bernardo Iniguez, Director of Public Works/Facilities SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Professional Services Agreement with Infrastructure Architects, Inc. for Design, Architecture and Engineering Services for the Veterans Park Restroom Renovation
DATE: January 26, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council:
1) Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Infrastructure Architects, Inc. for Design, Architecture and Engineering Services for the Veterans Park Restroom Renovation, in a form approved by the City Attorney; and 2) Authorize the City Manager to approve additional design services that may be necessary to cover any unforeseen conditions in an amount not to exceed 10% of the Professional Services Agreement.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The City of Bell Gardens Veterans Park is located at 6662 Loveland Street. Veterans Park is one of the City's primary recreational hubs, offering an array of activities for all ages. In 2022, the City was awarded a $3,997,000 Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization (Prop 68) Grant, and in 2024, the City was awarded a $700,000 U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Project Funding (HUD CPF) Grant. Additionally, the City allocated $1,085,567 of its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) in 2025. Prop 68 funds will be utilized for the Veterans Park Refurbishment project and the CDBG and HUD CPF funds will be utilized for the Veterans Park Restroom Renovation project, for a total of $5,782,567 for the Veterans Park Refurbishment and Restroom Renovation.

As part of this grant, the City recently installed the outdoor fitness equipment in Fall 2024.

A total of 30 pieces of fitness equipment is now available for public use. Additionally, lighting improvements required by the grant were completed in February 2025, which included the removal and replacement of lighting fixtures with new LED lighting throughout Veterans Park, and the replacement of the ballfield lights with new ballfield

LED lighting. The remaining improvements call for architectural elements that require professional design services.

On July 31, 2025, the City released a Request for Proposals for Design, Architecture and Engineering Services for the Veterans Park Refurbishment and Restroom Renovation ("RFP"). On August 15, 2025, the City issued Addendum No. 1 to include a mandatory pre -proposal meeting and extend the proposal submittal deadline to September 16, 2025.

On September 12, 2025, the City issued Addendum No. 2 to respond to requests for information, revise the scope of services, and extend the proposal submittal deadline to October 2, 2025. On September 29, 2025, the City issued Addendum No. 3 to provide additional responses to requests for information.

On October 2, 2025, the City received proposals from 10 proposers as listed below in alphabetical order:
• BOA Architecture
• Hirsch & Associates, Inc.
• IDS Group, Inc.
• Infrastructure Architects, Inc.
• MIG, Inc
• Mithun KDI
• RJM Design Group
• RRM Design Group
• SVA Architects
• West of West
The responsive proposals were reviewed and rated by Public Works and Recreation and Community Services staff based on their completeness in response to the following evaluation criteria outlined in the RFP:
• Comprehension of the Request for Proposals (Max score: 25 points). • Qualifications of Proposer (Max score: 45 points).
• References (Max Score: 20 points).
• Fee proposal (Max Score: 10 points).

On November 24, 2025, a panel consisting of Public Works staff conducted interviews with the top five scoring proposers to further assess their qualifications. The table below illustrates the rank and scores of the proposers after interviews, from the highest ranked to the lowest ranked proposer:

Rank
Firm Name

91 2
IDS Group, Inc.
89 3
RJM Design Group
89 4
BOA Architects
82 5
Infrastructure Architects, Inc.
80

Although agreements for professional services need not be awarded to the lowest responsible proposer, cost may be considered as a factor. As the RFP was structured for a single agreement, several firms submitted comprehensive pricing that reflects the combined project scope, while others provided separate itemized pricing for the Veterans Park Refurbishment and the Restroom Renovation.

The table below illustrates a comparison of the costs provided by the responsive proposers, from the highest ranked to the lowest ranked proposer:

Public Works initially intended to award these projects to a single consultant; however, the RFP evaluation and interview process showed that a project of this magnitude would yield better results by awarding separate agreements. This approach would leverage the specific strengths of firms to meet the individual demands of each project. Additionally, this action allows the City to balance resources and receive the best possible expertise from two design approaches.

In determining a recommendation, staff emphasizes that expertise, project approach, qualifications, and costs are important factors to consider. While other consulting firms scored higher during the evaluation phase, Infrastructure Architects, Inc.'s ("IA") proposal focuses on keeping costs low with a simple, functional design for the Restroom Renovation. Focusing on a streamlined design, the Restroom Renovation will be less prone to design changes and delays often associated with over -engineered designs. It is the City's priority to complete the Restroom Renovation ahead of the grants' deadlines.

Expediting the project timeline is essential to secure the funds and protect the City from future shifts in federal priorities and appropriations. Therefore, the completion of the Restroom Renovation is contingent upon a firm that can meet these timelines

Additionally, IA has experience working in Southeast Los Angeles Region and possesses valuable knowledge on local regulations and the community's expectations. Because of their familiarity with local regulations and community expectations, IA can transition directly into the design phase, as they already possess the necessary local context.

Therefore, IA's proposal best aligns with the Restroom Renovation's specific constraints and makes them the most effective consultant for the Veterans Park Restroom Renovation.

CONCLUSION:

Based on IA's proposal rating, staff is recommending that the City Council award IA a Professional Services Agreement for the Design, Architecture and Engineering Services for the Veterans Park Restroom Renovation for a three-year term, or until completion of the project, whichever occurs first.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Professional Services Agreement not to exceed amount is $170,606. A 10% contingency in the amount of $17,060 for additional design services, if requested by the City Manager, would be added to the Agreement, for a total amount of $187,666. The current FY 25/26 budget includes sufficient funding for design services for the Veterans Park Restroom Renovation.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Bell Gardens (City) was incorporated on August 1, 1961 as a general law city, thus, it operates under the Council/Manager form of government. The five City Council members are elected at -large by registered voters in the City for staggered four-year terms and serve as the City's legislative, policy -making body. The Mayor position is shared among the Council members who select one another as Mayor annually. The City Council holds bi-monthly public meetings. The City Manager is responsible for directing City affairs as prescribed by the City Council. The City has a population of approximately 39,000 in an area of 2.4 square miles located in the southeastern part of Los Angeles County. The City shares a common boundary with the Cities of South Gate, Bell, Downey, and Commerce. The City is considered an integral part of the Los Angeles -Long Beach metropolitan area.

The City's departments include Finance and Administration, City Clerk, Community Development, Recreation and Community Services, Police, and Public Works. Fire services are provided by the Los Angeles County Fire Department. The Public Works Department consists of various divisions, including Administration, Street Maintenance, Parks and Facilities Maintenance, Utilities and Contracts, Solid Waste Management, Transportation Services, and the City Water System.

The City of Bell Gardens' Veterans Park is located at 6662 Loveland Street. Veterans Park acts as one of the City's primary recreational hubs, offering an array of activities for all ages. In 2022, the City was awarded a $3,997,000 Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization (Prop 68) Grant, and in 2024, the City was awarded a $700,000 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Project Funding (HUD CPF) Grant.

Additionally, the City allocated $1,085,567 of its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) in 2025. Prop 68 funds will be utilized for the Veterans Park Refurbishment project and the CDBG and HUD CPF funds will be utilized for the Veterans Park Restroom Renovation project, for a total of $5,782,567 for the Veterans Park Refurbishment and Restroom Renovation.

The City is seeking proposals from qualified consultants with proven expertise to provide professional design, architecture and engineering services for the following two projects:
