Re: Design, Architecture and Engineering Services for The Veterans Park Refurbishment and Restroom Renovation
Dear Mr. Bernardo Iniguez,
The City of Bell Gardens has issued an RFP searching for a consulting team to improve the existing infrastructure at Veterans Park. Please accept this proposal from RRM Design Group as our sincere interest in collaborating with you to implement your project goals. Our team of landscape architects, engineers and architects are all in- house experts in community park design. We have organized our submittal to illustrate our design creativity and technical experience that will provide you with professional service and a finished project that the community will embrace.
Just three miles from you in Downey we worked with the City to renovate Furman Park.
The project has several similarities to your RFP goals and stated objectives- including a list of important improvements completed on schedule and within the available grant budgets. The difference you can see when visiting the park —the character and beauty of the park did not come at the expense of meeting the project objectives. This is a hallmark of our work at RRM Design Group.
RRM Design Group, founded in 1974 has seven offices including a multi -discipline team in San Juan Capistrano. We have been designing and completing projects like Veterans Park for more than 35 years. The team shown on page 56 that will collaborate with your team has been working together on Community Parks for over a decade - Jeff and Amanda for 20 years.
Our proposal includes a detailed scope of work and deliverables outlined to show exactly how we will complete the work. The Methodology section - page 9, explains our view of the potential we think your project has beyond updating the infrastructure.
We intend to show you that RRM will do the most with the budget you have and bring character (place making) to the features and park spaces that we update on your behalf.
It is our hope that after reviewing our experience for public agencies throughout California, and reading our collaborative approach for Veterans Park, you may elect to visit Furman Park in Downey to see how we added a bit of beauty to the practical updates of park features, amenities, and infrastructure. Please select us to interview for the project and tell you more about our experience and ideas for your project. If RRM is selected for an interview, we would be happy to talk through the schedule and fee that accompany this proposal, Together, we can look for ways to save time and money by streamlining design process. As an Employee -Owned company- we love what we do, and your community will see the benefits.
We appreciate your consideration of our proposal. We can see that this is an important community asset and meeting place. We would love to help bring new energy and life to the spaces within Veterans Park.

,r`�� �r,.s ;�� (�„ `�,,.�`' �t; spa �� ��"�� s � "n„� .� a� `iY,�w �, l.,,y c' to,,,.,; o Veterans Park is the heart of Bell Gardens. For this project to be successful, several key factors must guide our approach. Because it is grant -funded, we recognize the importance of working within a fixed deadline, delivering on a defined program of amenities, and staying within a strict budget. Yet above all, we believe the park must maintain it's beauty, character, and status —a community landmark worthy of its central place in the heart of Bell Gardens.
RRM Design Group has successfully navigated these same challenges across many grant -funded projects in California, consistently balancing compliance, budget, and design excellence. We are excited by the list of proposed amenities and improvements, and in the following pages we've highlighted a few that particularly resonate with us —illustrating how we can bring them to life at Veterans Park. 10 City of Bell Gardens Pr000sai for .t.,.,
Design, Architecture and Engineering Services for The Veterans Park Refurbishment and RestroomI Page 159 of 797
One of the most exciting opportunities at Veterans Park is the City's intent to build a new amphitheater. The setting is truly unique —framed by the Hispanic American Veterans Memorial and embraced by mature trees, this future stage will become a focal point unlike any other in the region. It will not only host performances, but also serve as a civic gathering place that honors history, culture, and community.
RRM has designed amphitheaters in existing public parks, from large-scale venues such as Zumwalt Park in Tulare (pictured below, left) to more intimate gathering spaces like King City Plaza (pictured below right).
Additionally, we recently completed the conceptual design for a versatile amphitheater stage at Channel Islands Harbor. Designed to support theft popular Concerts by the Sea series, the stage also functions as a rentable picnic shelter when not in use for performances —creating a dynamic, multi -use space that serves the community year-round.
Methodology Section 1
From this experience, we know that a successful amphitheater must harmonize function, experience, and environment. At Veterans Park, this means:
• Memorial Integration: framing the Veterans Memorial with dignity and reverence • Topography: utilizing the natural slope without major excavation • Audience Experience: clear sightlines, ADA accessibility, and comfort for all • Programming Collaboration: Where possible, collaborating with Program Directors to ensure the venue's infrastructure is thoughtfully detailed to evolve with future needs —whether for sound, lighting, or acoustic requirements
• Flexible Seating: blending lawn and fixed seating for both large events and everyday use With this layered approach, the amphitheater will become more than a stage —it will be the heart of the park's programming for generations to come.
In Bell Gardens, shade is not a luxury —it's a necessity. We see both the challenge and the opportunity at Veterans Park: some shade structures need renovation or replacement, while high -use areas such as the courts, playground, picnic zones, and outdoor fitness require new, thoughtfully integrated shade solutions.
RRM balances impact and budget through a layered strategy: blending refurbished structures, new shade sails, and architectural elements that can be phased or scaled to match funding. We focus on high -activity zones first, ensuring maximum daily benefit, and design each element to strengthen the park's character and beauty.
RRM has applied this approach in parks across California, including Greystone Park in Bakersfield (pictured on page 13, upper right) and the Alex Fiore Teen Center in Thousand Oaks (pictured on page 13, upper left), where we delivered budget -conscious shade strategies that were both durable and beautiful, Veterans Park deserves no less.

Design, Architecture and Engineering Services for The Veterans Park Refurbishment and Restroom Page 161 of 797
Another transformative opportunity lies in therapeutic gardens, new landscaping, and expanded walking paths. Few design moves elevate a park as quickly as replacing turf with thoughtfully planted landscapes.
With Veterans Park's existing tree canopy as a foundation, there is an opportunity to create healing garden moments, connective paths, and landscapes that enrich both beauty and experience. 13
Methodology I Section 1
RRM believes small details create big impact —whether through sensory plantings, artful stonework, or carefully aligned circulation. Our designs balance budget -conscious durability with unique, water -wise beauty.
We've demonstrated this in projects across the state: at Olympus Park in Encinitas (pictured below), the design includes playful healing elements like a granite sphere and pebble spiral reflexology terrace, while ensuring low-water, resilient planting in partnership with the San Diego Botanic Garden.
At Furman Park in Downey (pictured below), we transformed large turf areas (especially near the playground) into low-water landscapes and circulation was reworked with decomposed granite paths, making the park's connections more fluid and intuitive.
These same strategies will guide us at Veterans Park, ensuring gardens and pathways that are restorative, connected, and beautiful.

Design, Architecture and Engineering ServicesforThe Veterans Park Refurbishment and Restroom Renovation
RRM Design Group thrives on creating environments that communities enjoy and rely on. The planned interior renovations to the Ross Hall Recreation Center and Cultural Center, along with the proposed new freestanding restroom facility, present an exciting opportunity to reimagine and re -energize these essential amenities at Veterans Park.
At RRM, our greatest strength lies in our integrated, multidisciplinary team —architects, landscape architects, engineers, and surveyors —all collaborating under one roof. This structure enables us to deliver efficient, cohesive solutions that are creative, functional, and cost-conscious.
We've successfully applied this approach on similar projects, including the renovation of the Alex Fiore Teen Center and Goebel Adult Center for the City of Thousand Oaks (pictured below), where we upgraded aging facilities with strategic improvements to kitchens, restrooms, and multipurpose spaces. At Furman Park (pictured bottom of page 14), our team seamlessly integrated ADA upgrades into community buildings through a combined landscape and architectural effort.
At Veterans Park, we'll apply the same thoughtful methodology: upgrading the Community Center and kitchen, designing durable, well -integrated restrooms and storage near the baseball fields, and modernizing Ross Hall with accessible stage ramps, improved lighting, and mitigation of hazardous finishes.
Kitchen renovations will enhance service capacity for the Bell Gardens community, while the addition of multifunctional shade and sanitation facilities will expand the park's flexibility and comfort.
Together, these enhancements will ensure that Veterans Park remains a functional, welcoming, and future - ready space for all.
Methodology I Section 1
15
Building on this project understanding, our approach and methodology can be summarized in three core commitments:
Our dedicated Parks and Recreation team combines landscape architects, architects, engineers, surveyors, and planners —all in -house —supported by trusted consultants P2S for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, OCMI for construction cost estimation, CBelow for utility mapping, and GPI for geotechnical engineering.
With more than 270 park projects designed and constructed, we know how to streamline the process, avoid common pitfalls, and deliver accurate, buildable construction documents.
We will value the local knowledge and expertise of the City of Bell Gardens staff and are committed to working in true partnership. At Furman Park in Downey, this collaboration enabled us to meet grant requirements, stay on budget, and deliver on time, while transforming the park into an elevated community asset. At Veterans Park, we will apply this same responsive, collaborative model with constant check -ins.
We understand and acknowledge your construction budgets of approximately $3.3M for park renovation and $1.8M for restroom renovation/replacement. Our team is experienced in maximizing value within tight parameters —evaluating material options, considering constructability, structuring bid alternates, and developing creative solutions. While touring the park during the mandatory pre -proposal meeting and on a weekend, our team put our heads together and started brainstorming some potential cost savings solutions:
• Combining restroom + shade: designing the baseball field restroom/storage with integrated shade to stretch the budget and serve multiple needs
• Dual-purpose amphitheater structure: At Channel Islands Harbor (pictured below), we designed a structure that functions as both a concert venue for their Concerts by the Sea series and a rentable picnic shelter year-round. A similar approach at Veterans Park could provide performance space and flexible everyday use —maximizing functionality while reducing costs through shared infrastructure. 16 City of Bell Gardens I Proposal for
Design, Architecture and Engineering Services for The Veterans Park Refurbishment and Restroom
• Flooring efficiencies: installing rubberized sports flooring over existing surfaces to avoid hazardous abatement costs
• Splash pad alternatives: providing interactive water features like bubbling rocks that deliver play value without the expense and maintenance of a full splash pad. These could also serve as beautiful healing elements when paired with the therapeutic garden spaces.
These are just a few examples of how our team thinks creatively and pragmatically to achieve budget and schedule goals.
On the following pages, we outline a detailed scope of services —a step-by-step plan showing how we will partner with you from concept development through construction documents and into implementation.
Our process is clear, collaborative, and proven, ensuring that every task moves the project closer to a successful outcome.
RPM Design Group is passionate about making Veterans Park a success for Bell Gardens. With extensive experience in grant -funded park projects, a strong track record of collaboration, and a commitment to design excellence, we are prepared to deliver a park that meets your schedule, respects your budget, and will be deeply loved by your community. Together, we will enhance and beautify Veterans Park — helping to ensure it remains a vibrant, welcoming, and enduring landmark that both honors its legacy and serves future generations.

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
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: CEQA Compliance
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
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).
Methodology Section 1 21
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.
Deliverables:
Review of existing available, relevant documentation
Notice of Exemption (NOE) completed form with brief supporting analysis D
Subtask 2.01: Conceptual Design Alternatives

i'i'i i s; h e at e,
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 hub, 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.

Recreational enhancements included multi -sport courts, resurfaced play areas, improved fencing and backstops, and a revitalized fitness circuit.
Discovery Park's synthetic turf soccer field and Musco Sports Lighting extended playability and safety into the evening hours.

The City of La Mirada hired RRM Design Group to develop a schematic plan and renderings for Neff Park that would eventually continue through the construction documentation process. Neff Park is nestled into the center of a suburban neighborhood in La Mirada with a unique historic background.
Three structures remain and some sport courts, a playground, and picnic areas have been added. As a part of the design phase, RRM's team designed upgraded sport court facilities, picnic areas including a picnic structure, updated restroom facilities, a perimeter path, low water use planting and dealt with drainage issues with the use of a naturally planted swale. Based on City and community input, the design was improved upon and is now ready for the construction documentation phase.

The Porterville Community Center and Park project will transform an under -developed public lot into a vibrant recreational space. The park features an ADA playground, splash pad, challenge course, mini -pitch soccer arena, climbing boulder, pump track, trail, and sheltered picnic areas. The community center, designed as an indoor facility, will allow citizens a space to exercise and gather while being shielded from the area's poor air quality, caused by various agricultural activities. This project aims to address the lack of amenities in the area and foster community engagement, while also considering the environmental and social challenges faced by the city.
The ADA playground will ensure inclusivity for children of all abilities, while the pump track caters to biking and skateboarding enthusiasts. The fully connected trail system will enhance accessibility for walking, jogging, and cycling. The community center will serve as a hub for various events and activities, promoting social interaction and physical well-being. Overall, the project will revitalize the public land, providing a dynamic and inclusive space where residents can come together, enjoy indoor and outdoor activities, and strengthen community bonds.

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

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 photogramrnetric 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 USA 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 CEOA 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 fora 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.
