Chula Vista, CA91910
Dear Frank Carson:
Dudek is pleased to submit our proposal to prepare a park and recreation master plan for RohrPark, an approximate
59.9 acre regional park located in the Cityof Chula Vista (City). Weunderstand the Cityis looking for comprehensive park and recreation master plan that also looks at equity, access, and park improvementsto meet the needs of the community, in compliance with the state’s Fair PlayAct. Thismaster plan is also an opportunity to create a roadmap to guide and prioritize infrastructure investment in the park and serve as a powerful tool to ensure the park supports the mission of the Cityand help to realize the community’s vision for this important place.
Our Dudek team is unique in that we offer the City a committed multidisciplinary team of in-house technical experts. Weare the best qualified to work with the Cityon this contract for the following reasons:
Unmatched Multifaceted Teamof In-House Experts. Dudek planners and landscape architects are well versed in modern planning and recreation issues and view projects comprehensively through a multidisciplinary lens. Our planners and landscape architects are supported by our deep in-house technical bench of experts including biologists, resource preservationists, urban designers, arborists, wildfire specialists and climate resilience planners. Our team will look for waysto incorporate co-benefits and environmental considerations in the Rohr Park Master Plan, such as creek restoration, adaptability of park vegetation, climate resilience and meeting the needs of diverse park users.
Committed Management Team. Dudek’s proposed project manager for this effort, California registered landscape architect Ed Armstrong, has over 26 years in recreation planning and design. Some of his key park and recreation master plans include a regional/ community park for the City of Anderson, a destination park for the City of Citrus Heights, a regional trails implementation plan for San Diego County, among others. Mr. Armstrong will be supported by Dudek’s principal-in-charge, Asha Bleier. Ms. Bleier is the practice director and co-founder of Dudek’s planning and urban design group. Ms. Bleier has over 20 years’ experience working in the San Diego region on complex community engagement, consensus building and master planning efforts such as De AnzaCoveMaster Plan, Mission Bay Park Master Plan and SeaWorldPark Master Plan. Mr. Armstrong and Ms. Bleier will work to provide the City with the highest level of service and will be 100% dedicated to this project effort.
Local Understanding. Dudek understands Chula Vista’s natural and created landscapes, as well as its development standards, policies, regulations, and community sensitivities. Dudek has a long-standing relationship working with the Cityon several projects and initiatives such as the Rohr/Wohl Bayfront Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan ii
Specific Plan and Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan. Weunderstand how to navigate complex and highly controversial projects, including planning, community engagement and consensus building within the City.
Inclusive Community Engagement Strategy. Community engagement is at the heart of our planning strategy. Werecognize that community input is essential in all planning decisions, and success can only be realized when the community at large is part of the plan development. Weprioritize inclusive engagement by developing and executing a diverse set of engagement strategies (community meetings/ workshops, surveys, sidewalk/ park engagement, etc.) that are intended to reach all audiences.
These efforts have been crucial in gathering valuable input and fostering a sense of ownership among community members.
We appreciate the opportunity to work on this important project, and we look forward to the possibility of working with you. If you have any questions about our qualifications or proposal for this project, please contact Asha Bleier at 760.479.4858 or [email protected] or Ed Armstrong at 530. 863. 4269 or [email protected].
Sincerely,
Principal Planner Project Manager

Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 1
Approach and Scope of Work
Project Understanding & Approach
RohrPark, located in ChulaVista, California, was constructed on the flood plain of the SweetwaterRiverand was donated by FredH. Rohr. Thisdevelopment allowed the city to create a park that includes the RohrManor Building, picnic areas, gazebos, play areas, sports fields, basketball courts, a fitness court, an equestrian ring, a 3.3-mile pavedwalking trail, a dog park, and a model railroad track. RohrManor was built in 1938 by HowardSebastian, a construction contractor in ChulaVista. Thehouse was purchased by RohrAircraft Companyin 19551. Thepark also includes the ChulaVista Municipal Golf Course, and 18-hole championship course designed by Billy Casper.
The park’s namesake, Fred H. Rohr, was the founder of Rohr Aircraft Corporation, which played a significant role in Chula Vista's history as a major employer from the 1940s to the 1990s. The park's development reflects his contributions to the community and his vision for creating a recreational space for residents and visitors.
Dudek understands that the City of Chula Vista wishes to develop a comprehensive Master Plan for Rohr Park, an approximately 59.9-acre regional park, to direct enhancements to the facility over the next 10 years. This Master Plan should include robust public outreach with 8 workshops to obtain feedback on park vision, as well as a comprehensive discussion of park improvements, implementation costs, and phasing. Potential improvements that could be evaluated for inclusion in the Master Plan include a central meeting area/ plaza, riparian restoration and enhancements to Sweetwater River, additional trail amenities such as overlook decks and interpretive signage, additional sports or play features, exerciseequipment, picnic facilities, or other amenities.
Our team recognizes the importance of a robust public outreach and involvement process to understand and plan for the variety of park users Dudek will also collaborate with the City for compliance with California’s Fair Playin Community Sports Act (AB2881), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender in community youth athletic program opportunities, facilities, and resources. This AssemblyBill requires providing equal opportunities for youth of different genders, which may require expanding access to baseball/ softball in the park and other considerations.
Scope of Work
The tasks below are based upon the City's TaskOrder request and outline the Dudek Team’s proposed strategy for accomplishing that objective.
Task1: MeetingsandCoordination
Once Dudek has received notice to proceed, and following preliminary background research in Task2, the Dudek Teamwill attend a preliminary kickoff meeting with the City of Chula Vista to discuss project goals and objectives, establish lines of communication, review the schedule and milestones, and discuss other project details. This meeting can occur at the City offices or ideally at Rohr Park prior to the site walk in Task2 if a suitable meeting room is available. Anticipated attendees from the Project Teaminclude Dudek’s PIC, project manager, lead landscape architect, urban designer, and public outreach specialist. 1 https:// map.sdsu.edu/ group2001/ group2/ ROHR%20MANOR.htm Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 2
During project execution, Dudek will hold up to 12 monthly coordination meetings with City staff to discuss project progress, potential roadblocks to the project schedule that need resolving, questions, and other pertinent topics.
This task also includes project management and coordination, including scheduling staff, reviewing project billing, budgets and schedules, and email/ phone coordination beyond the indicated meetings.
Task 1 Deliverables:
Meeting agendas and minutes for kickoff and coordination meetings, Task2: ExistingConditionsAssessmentandAlternativeDesigns Upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed and concurrently with the previous task, Dudek will conduct background research on the project. Wewill assemble existing data, including existing reports including the 2018 City Parks and Recreation Master Plan, existing biological data (CNDDB), survey data, traffic counts on Sweetwater Road, soils, GIS, and any available topography in CADor GISformat to use as a base for the alternative and preferred plans. Dudek will also review and summarize City goals, objectives, and policies for parks and open space as they relate to park use planning. Recognizingthat the existing Chula Vista Parks and Recreation Master Plan dates from 2018, we will review recreation facilities demands projected for 2030 along with other pertinent data from the City-wide Master Plan. Togetherwith conversations with City staff, we will begin to identify potential facility needs such as picnicking or tennis/ pickleball courts, that could potentially be accommodated at Rohr Park.
This scope assumes that sufficient background data exists to conduct this study and additional surveys or studies will not be needed. Unless a civil survey has been done recently, one will likely be needed before moving from the master planning phase into preliminary plans and construction documents.
After the initial background research is completed and immediately following the site visit, the Dudek Teamwill walk the park with the City to discuss potential enhancements to existing amenities and potential new facilities, sports fields or courts, habitat restoration projects, small play/ exercise areas, overlook decks, interpretive signs, or other features. Wewill identify opportunities and constraints to enhancements to the park, including biological, topographic, or hydrologic factors. The same staff will attend the walk as listed for the kickoff meeting in Task1.
Following the site visit, the Dudek Teamwill summarize existing conditions and conduct an opportunities and constraints analysis. Factors rated during the analysis include the following:
Habitat, restoration, and natural resources
Sweetwater River Floodplain & site hydrology/drainage
Spatial arrangement and circulation between existing elements Fair Playin Community Sports (AB2881, which requires equal opportunities for access to athletic fields, equipment, and other resources)
Recreational connections (trails, bikeways, nearby schools, etc.) Non-play turf areas available for conversion to low water use landscaping Overall strategies for water use reduction
We will document the analysis with an Opportunities and Constraints memorandum, which will be provided to the City for review and comment. Comments will be incorporated into the Draft Alternative conceptual plans.
It is anticipated that the first community workshop (see Task4) will occur either before or after the opportunities and constraints analysis to introduce the project to the public and solicit input on goals, visions, and concerns.
Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 3
Draft AlternativesPlans
Based upon conversations with the City and input received at the community workshop, Dudek will prepare up to three preliminary alternative designs for Rohr Park. The alternatives will differ in the types, locations and layout of new facilities and other improvements proposed to be added to the park, as well as changes to existing elements, if any. Potential improvements might include:
Central plaza and gathering space,
Amphitheater for outdoor events or performances,
Sports courts such as tennis, pickleball and bocce,
Coveredshade structures with picnic tables,
Additional trail connections,
Sweetwater River overlook decks and interpretive signage, Raingardens or other stormwater detention facilities,
Riparian restoration along the river,
Conversionof turf to drought-tolerant landscaping,
Play/exercise stations located along trails, and
Additional provision for equestrians including hitching posts and water stations.
Dudek will hold a half-day charrette with the City to work out the framework for the three design alternatives. This framework will consist of a list of elements to be included in the plan along with design sketches. It will be refined into preliminary alternative designs.
Note that as part of this scope of work, if interpretive signs are desired, Dudek will work with the project team to define number of and topics for signage, but design of interpretive signs is not included in this proposal.
In addition to preparing the alternative designs, Dudek will prepare preliminary cost estimates for each alternative that the alternatives can be evaluated equally.
An important component of design development is first order cost estimates. Cost estimates provide an assessment of value reality check to facilitate the project goals and objectives are aligned with the reality of project financing. During the design alternatives development, a cost benefit analysis will be prepared to illustrate the most appropriate approach to meet the project goals and objectives. At each subsequent project stage of plan development, we will refine the cost estimate to verify final design will conform to the available funding. Each cost estimate spreadsheet will be organized by phase and will itemize the estimates for expected construction costs for the project. The estimates and will include a brief description, identification of the relevant unit, approximate quantity, unit cost, and calculation of the extended cost of for each item based on construction bids received from past projects, industry standards, and our professional experience. Providingaccurate cost estimates at each stage of the design process helps keep the project on track.
The alternative designs will be presented to the City for review and comments. Designs will be updated then presented to the public at the second community workshop (see Task4). Based upon input received from the community workshop and feedback from the City, Dudek will identify and prepare a preferred design. The preferred design might be one of the three alternatives or a combination of two or more alternatives.
Task 2 Deliverables:

Final opportunities and constraints assessment, as a PDFfile Draft alternative designs and cost estimates, as a PDFfile Final preferred design, as a PDFfile
Task3: MasterPlan
Dudek will compile the background information, project goals, opportunities and constraints analysis, public outreach summary, and alternative and preferred designs together with a summary of existing conditions, descriptions of the proposed improvements, cost estimates, and phasing strategy into the Implementation Plan.
We anticipate that the Plan will contain the following sections:
Executivesummary
Introduction and background
Goals and objectives
Public Outreach summary
Existing conditions
Opportunities and constraints
Alternative designs
Preferred design
Implementation and funding
Maintenance and Management
Cost estimate
The existing conditions summary will be compiled from the site visit and publicly available data. The Implementation and funding section will include an assessment of additional studies, permits and environmental compliance review that will be needed, in addition to cost estimates for planning, permitting, construction and post-construction maintenance; project phasing; and potential opportunities for grant funding.
The Master Plan will be presented in draft format for City review and comments. Comments will be incorporated into the Draft-Final Master Plan, which will be submitted for City review and comments. The Final Master Plan will address comments received and will be provided in PDFformat.
Deliverables:
Draft Master Plan, as a PDFfile
Draft-Final Master Plan as a PDFfile
Final Master Plan, as a PDFfile
Task4: PublicWorkshopsandOutreachSupport
Dudek will conduct up to 8 public outreach events to present the project to the community and solicit input, visions, opinions, and field concerns. Werecommend two public outreach workshops at each of the following milestones, one during a weekdayevening and one during a weekend. The weekend workshops could take the form of a pop-up event hosted at the park itself or a nearby location. The milestones include:
Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 5
Outreach Workshop 1a and 1b: Followsthe opportunities and constraints assessment prior to development of the alternative designs. The objective is to understand the community’s visions, wants, concerns over maintenance or safety, current uses, and other factors.
Outreach Workshop 2a and 2b: Followsrevisions to the alternative designs based upon City feedback and prior to identification of the preferred alternative. The objective is to receive feedback on the alternatives and capture any comments or desires that may have been missed in the alternatives.
Outreach Workshop 3a and 3b: Followsrevisions to the Draft Master Plan based upon City comments and prior to delivery of the Draft-Final. The objective is to receive community input on the Draft Plan.
The remaining two public outreach events could be pop-up tabling at events such as the Downtown Chula Vista Farmers Market or a special event in Chula Vista like the Community Wellness Potluck Park Day, which, being in early February, is too soon for the project timeline. If more support for more pop-up events is desired, the above workshops could be reduced to one day per workshop.
At project Notice to Proceed (NTP), Dudek will draft a public outreach strategy to outline our plan for presenting the project to the community. The outreach strategy will confirm meeting event milestones, methods, and materials that will be provided to support public involvement in the project.
In support of the public outreach program, Dudek will develop up to four (4) 3D renderings depicting the character of the experiences for the proposed changes to the park. Viewswill be taken from “eye level” or “low-elevation aerial” and will be coordinated with the City prior to development. One (1) round of revisions will be made to the renderings based on City input.
We will prepare up to four (4) color rendered maps (one for each alternative and one for the preferred alternative) illustrating the proposed improvements(s). The maps will include color linework and infographics over an aerial photograph. All maps will be to scale and labeled for presentation purposes. One (1) round of revisions will be made to the maps based on City input.
Dudek will support the City in conducting the community outreach for the project. This includes attending each of the community workshops. Following the workshops, we will prepare Workshop summary reports and share them with the City.
Dudek will provide translation services for the workshop documents including PowerPoint (PPT) slides and one- page information sheet for the first workshop and translation for the PPTand survey/questionnaire for the second workshop. In-person translation services are not included but can be provided as an optional service if desired.
A project web presence is not included in this task, but Dudek has very creative web services and very experienced staff at creating dynamic map-based websites such as ArcGISStoryMaps for communicating and collecting information. Wecan provide those services if desired by the City.

CHULA BAYFRONT MASTER PLAN
Dudek contracted with San Diego Unified Port District
Port) to revise and re-circulate a complex, high-profile environmental impact report (EIR) for the Chula Vista
Bayfront Master Plan (CVBMP), a large-scale master
plan for redeveloping 550 acres of bayfront property.
The development comprised a resort conference
center, a residential/ retail area within the Harbor
District, and park and natural open-space areas, as
well as associated infrastructure, including streets,
utilities, fire stations, etc. The site includes state
tidelands and uplands under the Port's jurisdiction, as well as uplands under the City of Chula Vista's (City's) jurisdiction.
Dudek led consultants from the Port, City, and other projects in completing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process for the CVBMPin accordance with the Port and City's CEQAguidelines. The Port Commission and Chula Vista City Council approved the CVBMPand a final EIR, allowing development of the waterfront property, which has been in limbo for more than 30 years.
Throughout the process, revisions were made to plans, associated technical studies, and the project EIR, which needed to reflect changes to the project description and phasing, and in response to public comments. Dudek incorporated previous public comments and revised the project description and each individual analysis section to reflect a program- and project-level analysis. The recirculation effort was completed on a tight schedule due to the strong direction and leadership provided by the Dudek project management.
EIRissues amended and/ or addressed for the project review included Aesthetics/ Visual Quality; Air Quality; Biology; Cultural and Paleontological Resources; Seismic/ GeologicHazards; Hazards and Hazardous Materials/ Public Safety; Hydrology/Drainage/ Water Quality; Land Use; Planning and Zoning; Noise; Public Services and Energy; Traffic/ Transportation/ Parking; Population and Housing; Global Warming; Cumulative Impacts; Growth Inducement; and other CEQA-mandated sections.
Significant biological impacts were also considered and involved intricate communications and negotiations with wildlife agencies and local community groups.

SANTA MARIA GREENWAY TRAIL FEASIBILITY STUDY AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Dudek is working with the County of San Diego to
prepare a feasibility study and implementation plan for approximately 1.5 mile of unpaved trail in the
community of Ramona. The project kicked off with a
site visit to evaluate road crossings, proposed trail
alignments, connections to public facilities, potential biological resource impacts, and other factors. Dudek
researched project background information, including
as available GISand other data for the project area
such as parcel ownership, land use, topography,
existing easements, and biological resources. Findings
from the site visit and background research were
included in an existing conditions summary
memorandum.
A public workshop was held to present the project background and results of the existing conditions assessment, and solicit feedback from the community on the project, including attendee values, priorities and concerns. The format of the workshop was a brief presentation followed by tabling sessions set up to discuss key aspects of the project such as land ownership, desired amenities, and potential alignments.
Dudek held a half-day workshop with the County to review community input and work out the fundamentals of the alternative designs. Welike to engage clients in collaborative decision-making during design to aid in understanding of design decisions and to ensure the plan meets with client expectations. Followingthe workshop, the alternatives were refined and presented in an alternative alignments memorandum that included alignment plans; detailed cost estimates with planning and design and implementation projections; proposed road crossings such as high-visibility (triple four) crosswalks, a rapid flashing beacon and a pedestrian hybrid beacon. The alternatives were presented at a second public workshop.
The Implementation Plan, in progress, summarizes the previous work efforts and refines the alignments and cost estimates to include easement acquisition and operations and maintenance costs. It also includes design guidelines/ vignettes for key access points and discussions of phasing, funding, and maintenance and monitoring needs. The Implementation Plan is slated for delivery to the County in February 2025.

DE ANZA COVE PARK PLAN
Under our on-call contract with the Cityof San Diego,
Dudek prepared parks needs analysis, site planning
support and a program-level EIRfor the De AnzaCove
Master Plan as part of the Mission Bay Park Master
Plan, which is a comprehensive planning document
that provides a policy framework to guide development
throughout the entirety of Mission Bay. The project
includes recommendations and policies pertaining to
the project area to serve regional recreation needs,
including guest housing (recreational vehicles and
other low-cost camping facilities); improvements to the park’s water quality, including creating additional
wetlands; facilitation of hydrologic improvements to
safeguard the viability of marsh areas; addition of a
waterfront trail, viewing areas, and other passive recreational features to enhance public use of the park area.
The highly controversial planning process included a robust community engagement plan, which Dudek supported. Dudek worked with the Cityto conduct a series of community engagement workshops and working group design sessions design with interested parties.

AGUA HEDIONDA SOUTH SHORE SPECIFIC PLAN AND SOUTH SHORE HUB PARK TRAIL Dudek’s landscapearchitectspreparedpreliminary
concept plans for the AguaHediondaSouthShore
SpecificPlanthat consistsof over155 acresof
agriculturaland natural resourceareas. Theplans
prescribepreliminaryconceptsfor public access, low-cost visitor uses, trails, interpretationand overlooks, native habitat restoration, and preservationof existinghistoric agricultureareas (strawberryfields) and biological
resourcesassociatedwith the adjacentAguaHedionda
Lagoon. Proposedsite amenitiesin the conceptualplan
include overthree miles of trails, multiple interpretive overlooks, trailhead kiosks, an open-air classroom, and parking. Proposedsite furnishingsinclude fitness
stations, benches, picnic areaswith shadestructures,
trash receptacles, drinking fountains, dog stations, restroomfacilities, and wayfindingsigns.
The conceptual design considers an overall educational theme of historical land used in concert with the need to respect the natural environment and its resources to preserve, utilize, and appreciate the resources for a sustainable future. Through interpretive signage and identification of key site features and through interpretation at key panoramic overlooks, the plan connects the natural resources to the site’s original inhabitants (Native Americans), who lived off the ocean by gathering resources in the lagoon area and used the adjacent hillsides as camps and temporary villages. In addition, interpretation will include the influences of the early inhabitants of the area, including the Spanish and the Dutch. Furthermore, preliminary design themes reflect Carlsbad’s “funky beach town” character and propose using landscape art. Lastly, interpretation will include the various ecosystems on and adjacent to the site, native habitat, and native plant communities within the site and adjacent lands.
SEA WORLD PARK MASTER PLAN
Dudek collaborated with the City of San Diego and SeaWorldParks to prepare a comprehensive park needs assessment and 20-year long range plan for updates Dudek prepared parks needs analysis, site planning support and a program-level EIRfor the De AnzaCoveMaster Plan as part of the Mission Bay Park Master Plan, which is a comprehensive planning document that provides a policy framework to guide development throughout the entirety of Mission Bay. The project includes recommendations and policies pertaining to the project area to serve regional recreation needs, including guest housing recreational vehicles and other low-cost camping facilities); improvements to the park’s water quality, including creating additional wetlands; facilitation of hydrologic improvements to safeguard the viability of marsh areas; addition of a waterfront trail, viewing areas, and other passive recreational features to enhance public use of the park area.

MARRIOTT MEADOWS PARK CONCEPTUAL PLAN REFINEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS The 24-AcrePark project (Marriott Meadows) involved fitting recreational park facilities into an oak woodland on an undeveloped parcel owned by Auburn Recreation District (ARD) adjacent to Auburn Regional Park. The project proposed paved and earthen walking trails, large and small dog parks, an open turf area, a central plaza, splash pad, restroom, bocce ball courts, shade shelters with picnic tables, a wetland overlook, interpretive signage, a 20- car parking lot and entry road, and associated utilities. A majority of the site would remain in a largely natural state, consisting of oak woodlands with unpaved walking trails, a wetland, and open grassland area.
Dudek worked with ARDto prepare a revised Conceptual Plan for the park, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and technical studies for biological and cultural resources, jurisdictional aquatic resources delineation, traffic study, noise, and air quality and greenhouse gas emissions analyses. Dudek also helped ARD obtain funding for development of construction documents, interpretive signage design, and project construction.
Following receipt of Proposition 68 Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program funds, Dudek completed construction documents (currently at the 100% level of completion) and draft thematic interpretive designs.
Rohr Park and Recreation Master Plan 15
SANTEE RECREATION CENTER
Dudek prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration (IS/MND) for a proposed community
center building in Santee that would be two stories tall and total 12,500 gross square feet. The community
center building would include a lobby, reception area,
event space and deck, concession space, storage,
kitchen, utilities, outdoor covered dining area, service yard, biofiltration basin, office space, amphitheater,
bike storage, and more. The facility would be used as a backup emergency operations center for City Hall and
will have a backup emergency generator. The project’s sustainability features include photovoltaic (PV) panels, electric vehicle charging stations, and low-flow plumbing fixtures.
In addition to preparing an MND, Dudek prepared technical analyses for biological resources, air quality, and GHG emissions. The project would be adjacent to the San Diego River; therefore, our team prepared a jurisdictional delineation, rare plant survey, and vegetation mapping to demonstrate that direct impacts to native plant communities would not occur. Operation of the project would include an emergency back-up generator. As part of the air quality section, we prepared a screening analysis for the project to demonstrate that no operational health risk impacts would occur as part of this stationary source. Dudek used the Sustainable Santee Action Plan Project ConsistencyChecklist to evaluate the project’s significance with respect to GHGemissions.
SOLEDAD WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY WETLAND COMPLEX FEASIBILITY STUDY Dudek conducted a feasibility study for the creation of a wetland/ riparian habitat complex with passive
recreational enhancements in the retired infiltration
basins at the Water Reclamation Facility. Dudek visited the site to meet with the City, discuss goals and
objectives for the project, and assess opportunities
and constraints. We collected preliminary surface soil
samples and reviewed previous soils reports, then
conducted hydrological modeling to determine a range
of combinations of wetland type, size, and amount of
clay amendments and compaction necessary to
support functioning wetlands given anticipated treated wastewater input rates. Evaluating present and historical habitats in the adjacent Salinas River and working with City officials to identify desired recreational enhancements, along with the results of the hydrological modeling, Dudek produced a set of conceptual design alternatives comprising a wetland complex with open water, emergent wetland, perennial marsh, riparian scrub, and riparian wetland habitats and public access elements, including parking lots, trails, overlooks, fencing improvements, a restroom, a boardwalk, educational signage, and other amenities. Dudek also developed phasing and maintenance plans, along with detailed cost estimates, to allow the City to evaluate the financial and logistical feasibility of the project. Toassist in project implementation, Dudek identified potential funding sources and aided the City in submitting a grant application for Proposition 1 funds.
