D Related Work Experience and Qualifications

INTRODUCTION
In 2016, the City of Crescent City (City) developed a
Strategic Plan premised on the City’s mission “Promote
a high quality of leadership, services, and life to our residents, businesses, and visitors by providing the most efficient, innovative and economically sound municipal
services, based on our diverse history, culture, and unique natural resources.”
The City owns and operates many facilities, which include a wastewater treatment plant, sewer collection facilities, water distribution facilities including water tanks, elevated water tanks and water pumps, a public swimming pool, fire station, police station, Housing Authority, a Public Works service yard, parks and recreation facilities, street infrastructure, and an administrative office facility. As part to the City’s municipal services, the City’s Public Works Department
(Public Works) is in part responsible for implementing the goals of the Strategic Plan.

To achieve your gals of Support Quality Services,
Community Safety, and Health to Enhance the Quality
of Life and Experience of our Residents and Visitors, the City successfully lobbied and passed Measure S for a
1% sales tax increase in 2020, increasing from 7.5% to

8.5% through 2022, when it will reduce to 8.25% in 2022 once the tax benefits the Del Norte County Fairgrounds.

The sales tax increase will generate $1.3 million annually.

Over the next 5 years, the city plans to spend $1,646,885 of Measure S funds on the Police Department needs,
$1,238,450 on Crescent City Fire Department needs,
$1,755,000 on street improvements, and $1,802,000 on
Fred Endert Municipal Pool maintenance. And a reserve
fund which would set aside 25% of Measure S revenues
annually for a rainy day.

Public Works is comprised Engineering, Field Operations, Fleet Management, Building, Electrical Maintenance, and Water Quality Lab divisions. Public works maintains 23
miles of roads and 5 downtown parking lots; 400 city
blocks with 1600 ADA ramps; 83,000 linear feet of storm drain pipe with 380 inlets; 60 miles of water line with 4,500 water connections, 2,300 valves and 492 Hydrants; 51
miles of sewer line with 3,850 sewer connections and 21 lift stations; 820 Streetlights; and 70 Acres of park land with 7 public restrooms.

At AECOM, we exist to Deliver a Better World. But we
don’t do that alone. We partner with municipalities like the City to understand their vision, the goals to deliver on that vision, and as a teaming partner, we Deliver a Better City through collaborative project delivery. We will benefit the City for these on-call services from our multidisciplinary infrastructure consulting services offering. As a global leader in infrastructure consulting, AECOM can respond
to any service need that Public Works requires. AECOM
has been delivering for municipalities – large and small – for over 100 years. We are a full-service firm offering the City resources in Engineering, Planning, Environmental, Architecture and Related Support Services.

UNDERSTANDING OF UPCOMING DESIGN WORK
We can support the City’s divisions on any project, from fleet management services to converting the City’s fleet to electric vehicles, to implementing areas of the City’s ADA transition plan, safety improvements identified in the Final Regional Systemic Safety Analysis Report, dated June 25, 2019, water or sewer facilities improvements, and street lighting or signal improvements. Projects identified in your RTP include:

Bike and pedestrian facilities: Our team brings extensive, recent experience delivering bicycle and pedestrian
facilities. Although the completion of the California
Coastal Trail through the city was accomplished with the Sunset Circle segment, the Del Norte County Regional
Transportation Plan (RTP), dated March 2021 identifies
the need for multi-use path along Front Street between
A Street and N Street. Project Manager Howard Michael
led the design efforts for the Font Street Revitalization and is passionate about supporting the City to fully
implement that design on Front Street and any associated services with the Beachfront Park. Recently, the Council did authorize funding for the next phase of Front Street development between G and I Streets which includes the
meander and landscape areas.

Sidewalk improvements: To close gaps, like Glen Street
from Small Ave. to Hamilton Ave, pedestrian improvements in cooperation with Caltrans, and even along US 101
through the County Harbor District urban area. Other
recommended improvements include the implementation
of advisory bike lanes where feasible. AECOM offers
alternative transportation planning and engineering
services for other elements of the City’s bikeway,
pedestrian, and park facilities.

City Gateway: At the north and south entrances to the City.

We have include Design Workshop as our subconsultant
to provide Gateway planning efforts that AECOM would the support with civil engineering efforts as needed.

Beachfront Park improvements: On June 5, 2018, voters
passed Proposition 68, a $4 billion “Parks, Environment, and Water Bond Act of 2018” of which the City has
secured $5 million dollars for a coastal bike pump track; an ADA renovated and expanded Kidtown; a cultural
and interpretive education piece on the Tolowa history
and people; and a one-mile exercise and interpretive
loop through the park! Together, AECOM and Design
Workshop can support the City on this project as may be implemented through this on-call contract.

condition index (PCI) is 6.25. AECOM employs geotechnical engineers and pavement specialists to tailor pavement
replacement or rehab strategies to help the City manage this critical asset to prolong the pavement life and manage the City’s financial exposure through effective asset
management strategies.

UNDERSTANDING OF THE CITY’S

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE PROGRAM
AECOM is familiar with environmental review and permitting processes for municipal public works projects and has
performed and coordinated work to meet NEPA and CEQA
requirements and provide permitting strategies, application preparation, mitigation planning, and consultation with regulatory agencies. We have in-house staff that can
perform all of the technical studies typically required for public works projects from biological and cultural resources to air quality/GHG and noise study reports and water
quality, hydrology, and hazards, as well as environmental planners and project managers to prepare environmental
documents and guide the City through CEQA/NEPA and
permitting processes.

AECOM can assist the City in obtaining the necessary state and federal environmental permits for its projects. Typical examples include US Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service Biological Opinions, California Department of Fish and Wildlife Streambed Alteration
Agreement, California Department of Fish and Wildlife
Section 2081 Incidental Take Permit, US Army Corps of
Engineers Nationwide or Individual Permits for wetland
impacts, North Coast Regional Water Quality Control
Board 401 water quality certification or waste discharge requirements, and Local Coastal Commission approvals.

We can also prepare archaeological resource treatment
and design plans or unanticipated discovery plans for
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
compliance. We can also assist the City with contacting and consulting with local tribal representatives.

UNDERSTANDING OF A TYPICAL PLANNING

PROCESS
The City Planning Division provides professional guidance and technical assistance to the City Council, planning
commissions and the public; implements and monitors
city growth and development policies; accepts, processes and analyzes development applications and recommends
action on such applications to the Council, Planning
Commission and Design Committee. The Planning Division
also acts on items such as administrative permits, sign permits, home occupations and code enforcement.

AECOM can support the City Planning Division as follows:

Urban Planning
We have included Design Workshop on our team who has
the skills and experience to provide planning expertise.

engineering, and environmental management in one firm, to provide the right resources for each task.

We work with local communities to inform plans that are technically sound, feasible to implement, and support the projects and surrounding community’s context and vision.

Recent AECOM projects such as the Yuba-Sutter Transit
Corridor Enhancement Plan for Yuba and Sutter Counties, and the Lake Transit Authority Bus Passenger Plan for
the Lake Area Planning Council, demonstrate success in
applying strong planning/design approaches and extensive public outreach to project areas that required multiple solutions for diverse transportation and land-use needs.

While our core values include planning for healthy,
equitable, and resilient neighborhoods and cities that
are connected effectively and efficiently with reliable transportation networks, recent events have brought
greater focus to the challenges communities face, and
accelerated the pace at which we must act. We are
committed to advancing this work through prioritizing
equity, diversity, and inclusion within our culture and company and in the way we evaluate, design, and deliver projects in the communities we serve.

Environmental Planning
AECOM will help the City identify the appropriate CEQA, and if necessary, NEPA documentation. AECOM will review the proposed project against the State CEQA Guidelines Article 18 and Article 19 and against 23 CFR 771.117(c) and (d) to determine if the project might be eligible for a Statutory or Categorical Exemption under CEQA and a Categorical
Exclusion under NEPA. If so, AECOM will complete the CE City of Crescent City Engineering, Planning,
Environmental, Architectural & Related Support Services AECOM 6
form for the City or the Caltrans CE/CE form for review and comment first by the City and then by Caltrans.

There may be instances, when technical memoranda
or studies are warranted to provide evidence of the
magnitude and intensity of an impact. Based on
consultations with the City (and if funding, Caltrans), AECOM will prepare the requisite studies to advance the delivery of the City’s projects.

SIMILAR PROJECT EXPERIENCE
AECOM has long history of successfully providing on-call services to many satisfied local agencies in Northern
California. Our team is experienced in the design of
sidewalks, bicycle facilities, intersection and roadway drainage improvements, roadway reconstruction,

spaces, welcomes visitors during public events,
and functions efficiently with great resiliency during
emergency situations. The design for the ROC facility
reflects careful research and an understanding of the
site’s history, surrounding context, bridging documents findings, County and City planning documents, and urban design plans. Performance: the project was completed on schedule and within budget.

Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA
Architectural Services
AECOM completed multiple projects for this 220-
acre, 8.8 million square-foot campus, at which we have
provided on-site A-E services since 1995. For the utility engineering services contract, AECOM partnered with
Pacific Gas & Electric through its utility energy services contract to develop a comprehensive energy efficiency
program. Our integrated technical approach delivered a
financially viable project that also greatly improved the reliability of mission critical systems. When numerous
underground natural gas lines were discovered to be
abandoned, AECOM employed an innovative and costeffective horizontal drilling technique to install new underground lines. This approach allowed us to convert
older, steam-heated buildings to natural gas on budget
and without disrupting vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

Traditional methods are costly and require trenching,
installing new lines and repaving. Performance: projects are currently on schedule and are expected to be
completed on budget.

7 E. Staffing and Support
Calpo Hom & Dong Architects has a unique way of working with their clients, especially smaller communities, long distances away. In 2015, CH&D was awarded a project with the City of Yreka, for the renovation of an existing commercial building into a new Police and Dispatch Facility. CH&D Offices is located in Midtown, Sacramento, approximately 260 miles from Yreka. The Police Chief, Brian Bowles (retired), had been pushing for this long-needed project for over ten years previous; needless to say, Chief Bowles was super excited to finally see his hard work come to fruition. But Chief Bowles was nervous; during the interview, he asked, “I’ve never done this before, how do I communicate with you?” Dennis Dong, Lead Principle and Project Architect for CH&D, knowing that Civic Leaders in small communities often have to wear many hats, responded, “Chief, if we are awarded this job, I will commit one day each week to be in your office to discuss your project when you can.” The day we were awarded the project, Chief Bowles called Dennis and asked, “when can you come???!!!” Throughout the design process, and later during construction, Dennis Dong, every Tuesday, would have a desk at the old Yreka Police Facility, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm! The Chief was able to schedule his appointments, bring in other City Officials and Consultants, and the project went very smoothly. Flash forward to 2020-2021, and Dennis Dong could be found biweekly in Willits (approximately 160 miles from Sacramento), with the Little Lake Fire Protection District, overseeing construction of their new fire Station No. 54. Likewise, to a lesser extent, with the Smith River Fire Protection District, on the design and current bidding of the Smith River Fire Station No. 1.

We will work the same with the City of Crescent City. We believe every client, big or small, and every project, big or small, is IMPORTANT! We will make ourselves available to physically be in your offices, respecting your schedules and availability, to best push the project forward. If online meetings are preferred, we will be available for those as well. We understand that each project is different, some large, some small, some straight-forward, some complex; we will treat each assignment with the same professional involvement and passion.

Case History:

Roseville Corporation
Yard
CH&D was selected as
Design Architect for the City
of Roseville Corporation
Yard. A Programming Study
and Master Plan had
previously been done by
another firm. The
Programming and Master
Plan was done under the
direction of the then Director
of Public Works; in the
transition to the Design
Phase, the DPW retired, and a
new position, Director of
Central Services, was created
to manage all CIP projects.

During the review of the
previous Programming and
Master Plan efforts, CH&D
noticed some resentment
amongst the supervisors.

When queried, the
supervisors complained they
were not included in the first
go-around, and did not expect
to have their opinions heard.

At this point, CH&D
requested permission to reconduct interviews with all of the User Groups, and to listen
to their input. By the end of
the sessions, all of the User
Groups had bought in to the
process; they may not have
agreed with all of the results,
but they were aware of the
parameters leading to those
results. The project
proceeded much smoother
after that interlude.

8 F. Key Personnel
Calpo Hom & Dong Architects has made a conscious effort to control the growth of our Firm. This is to ensure to our clients that the Firm’s Principals are directly and actively involved in each project, from inception to completion.

CH&D manages Projects from a unique environment. The Office is set up into Studios, each with a Principal’s hands-on involvement. We have found that this collaboration between Principals with the Studios creates a dynamic and well-thoughtout end product. In this way, the Client always has a team of persons which may be contacted. We have found this to be very effective for allowing the Client’s concerns to get through to the Architect.

The CH&D Principals each contribute a unique strength to all of the Firm’s Projects.

With at least one Principal always active in any Project, the other Principals lend their support and constructive input.

Each Project at CH&D receives the full benefit of full-time participation by one Principal, and the benefits of expertise by the remaining Principals.

For the City of Crescent City Related Support Services RFQ, Calpo Hom & Dong Architects will dedicate Principal Dennis Dong, as the Principal-In-Charge and Project Manager, in charge of the day-to-day hands-on management of the Project. Dennis has a wealth of experience with designing Public Facilities, and also working with smaller jurisdictions and smaller budgets

Re: RFQ 2022-001 Request for Qualifications to Provide Engineering, Planning, Environmental, Architectural & Related Support Services
Dear Mr. Olson, Mr. Leighton and members of the selection committee, There are not many places in California or the country where you have access to some of the most beautiful natural landscapes from the ocean to the redwoods within a seven minute drive.

Add to these the rich cultural and historical aspects and the quaint, friendly small-town feeling, its understandable why Crescent City becomes a place to reside or return to on a regular basis.

Design Workshop is very familiar with Crescent City and the area and are excited to submit our qualifications for on-call landscape architecture and planning services and assist the city with future improvements for the community. During our previous experience providing the design inspiration for Front Street, we were able to gain an insight to what is important to those who live or run a business in the city and how important the revitalization of Front Street means to the community.

Our work with the California State Parks and National Park service on their joint master plan for Hiouchi Flat and Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park informed us of the amazing landscapes that draws visitors from all over to enjoy these special places. The South Beach Trail Connection project expanded our experience and relationship with important stakeholders such as the Elk Valley Rancheria Tribe, the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission and Caltrans.

After reviewing the Request for Qualifications, Design Workshop is well positioned to assist in several ways. For projects that require landscape architectural and urban design services, we have extensive experience assisting cities, counties, public agencies and private landowners with site planning and design, community enhancement, parks and recreational facilities, waterfront revitalization, trails, along with monument signage and wayfinding. This includes full design and construction documents, permitting, and assisting with construction observation. For our planning expertise, Design Workshop has staff that are AICP certified and can assist the city in general plan updates, form-based codes, land use planning, master plans, design guidelines, development standards and vision plans. We can also be an extension of City staff to review plans and projects submitted to the city, as well as updating documents and procedures that may be required. We specialize in public outreach and engagement and are able to assist the city with informing, preparing and facilitating stakeholder meetings, community meetings, open house activities, virtual meetings as well developing content that can be used on the city website or other public forums.

Design Workshop is very familiar with on-call services contracts and currently provide on-call design services for several local, state, and federal agencies. These include several cities and counties, the National Park Service, California Tahoe Conservancy, Sonoma County Regional Parks, Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District, Tahoe Transportation District, and Save the Redwoods League. We recognize that servicing the contract requires good communication and team management to quickly respond to requests both small and large. We are committed to strong project management and providing you with excellent service. In addition, if specific expertise is needed for a project, we have access to a wide range of firms we have worked with in the past or can work with someone the city is comfortable with and can bring them on as a sub consultant with minimal compensation by Design Workshop to manage efforts. We are also included on the AECOM on-call team (under a separate submittal) so would play a similar role under their team structure.

Our success with providing the services required for this contract combined with our team members’ specific expertise ensures the City will receive our highest commitment for each project. Over the years we have truly enjoyed our professional relationship with City staff and are very excited to continue working closely with you as an extension of your staff on the wide range of services listed in the RFQ and other needs that may arise. The staff assigned to this oncall contract are well-versed in providing creative, practical design solutions efficiently and costeffectively. As a whole Design Workshop brings to this contract:
• A broad range of experience with similar projects locally, regionally, and nationally • A clear and inclusive design process that we established and follow • Experience working in remote areas and an understanding of potential design and construction constraints
• A thorough understanding of planning, design, funding, operations, and maintenance elements for parks, trails, and open spaces
• A proven track record gaining approvals in a timely manner for projects of various scale and complexity
• Experience working with multiple agencies and the public to develop and implement projects • An extensive knowledge of regulatory agency codes and ordinances including accessibility • Proprietary tools to manage budget, schedule, and control costs • A wide range of graphic skills to engage and convey project information to the public • Premiere trail planning, design, and mapping expertise • GIS data gathering and analysis capacities to inform decision-making and resource allocation Thank you for the opportunity to provide information about Design Workshop and our team. We appreciate your consideration as you make selections for on-call contracts. We look forward to hearing from you, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions by phone at 775-588-5929 or by email at [email protected].

Whether designing a restorative private garden, developing the vision for a contemporary park or re-imagining an under-performing downtown center, we go beyond the project itself to create places of timeless beauty and meaningful connections.

We are a community of designers, planners and strategists, who love what we do. We design for people - not just today but for future generations.

Our performance-based approach yields measurable results and projects that stand the test of time. In other words, we don’t just hope for sustainable projects; we rely on our process to deliver them.

We call this process DW Legacy Design®.

Our team offers both local, regional, national, and international expertise in landscape architecture, urban design, planning and recreation planning. We have built a portfolio of parks, streetscapes, and recreation planning in communities throughout Northern and Central California that help us understand the issues and opportunities related to public projects and the ways in which to successfully create projects that are celebrated. We create places for people, following the dictates of the land – not just today but for future generations.

On-Call Contract Experience
Design Workshop has worked with all levels of federal, state, regional, and local government agencies and private clients providing on-call services similar to those required for this RFQ. Based upon the type of services needed, the project schedule and funding available, we will work closely with the City to provide the staff and expertise best suited to fulfill the tasks.

Organization
of the Firm
Design Workshop is an international design studio,
integrating landscape architecture, urban design,
planning and strategic services. For over 50 years,
“workshop” remains a hallmark of our firm, supporting
collaboration and experimentation where clients and
designers solve problems together.

Organization of the Firm
4 Organization of Firm
Breadth of Services
Providing the breadth of services
associated with retainer contracts
requires a team with a deep
resource base of available
technology and professionals
committed to the timely
completion of the project. Our team
understands the requirements
of such contracts and have the
ability to adjust staffing in order to
provide exemplary service. Design
Workshop’s success as a planning
and design firm is due largely to
careful scheduling, staffing, and a
proactive approach to ensure that
projects are completed on time and
members of the team have been
selected for their proven ability to
complement this capability.

Project Management
To manage the process and
resources, we use a proprietary
project delivery system which is a
repository of all the tools required
for project managers and designers
to successfully organize and lead
projects. This also allows us to
manage any risks or schedule
changes associated with the
process and adjust as needed.

Since we provide landscape
design and planning services
throughout California having a
strong understanding of the current
codes, policies and guidelines at all
levels of government is critical to
the success and longevity of our
firm. Our staff has built a reputation
for developing working relationships
with long lasting positive results
resulting in several current on-call
contracts.

Working Relationships
with Public Agencies
Design Workshop has had a
long and successful history of
working with multiple governing
agencies. Our past and current
client list includes local and state
agencies, non-profit organizations
such as Town of Mammoth
Lakes, Town of Truckee, City of
Angels Camp, Calaveras Council
of Governments, City of Carson
City, Mariposa County, City of
Santa Rosa, Sonoma County,
Monterey Peninsula Regional Parks,
Tahoe Regional Planning Agency,
California State Parks, Nevada
State Parks, California Coastal
Conservancy, National Park Service,
Caltrans, Save the Redwoods
League, and California Tahoe
Conservancy.

We have prided our longevity with
these agencies because we are
rigorous in being on time (both
in design and in construction
management), on budget (provide
cost estimates at every major
milestone of a project), and
anticipating short and long term
operations and maintenance as part
of the design process, not just at
the end of a project.

Providing High Quality,
Permittable Design and
Design Documentation
Our team understands what it takes
to successfully lead projects of
varying size and scale. We like to
say our work ranges in scope from
“a region to a rock”. Regardless of
size, we ensure quality and design
by first asking the hard questions
and then testing and measuring
outcomes to yield robust designs.

We understand how to provide
quality and timely services under
these contract agreements and
have provided a full team that will
be able to exceed your expectations
on planned and future projects.

We also recognize that our public
dollars are finite. Our experience
that sets us apart includes working
with government agencies,
longevity of staff experience and
understanding of public processes,
success getting projects permitted
and receiving environmental
clearance, and recognition from
our peers regarding the quality
and excellence of our planning
documents and built work. We
reduce rework and stay on budget
by utilizing our quality management
and project management processes
throughout the life of the project.

We view our team as being an
extension of Crescent City staff and
find the best way to contribute and
bring our expertise to complement
yours.

Related Work Experience and Qualifications
Our Expertise Benefiting
Crescent City
Design Workshop is very familiar with
Crescent City and the surrounding
area and are excited to submit our
qualifications for on-call landscape
architecture and planning services
and assist the city with future
improvements for the community.

As a sub consultant to Drake Haglan
and Associates, Design Workshop
was responsible for developing the
initial design and inspiration for the
redevelopment and realignment for
Front Street. This included developing
the theming, options for gateway
signage and monuments as well as
providing full landscape design for
the project. This involved working
closely with City staff, preparing for
and facilitating the public engagement
process, and developing the ideas that
ultimately resulted in the first phase
of Front Street to be constructed.

Understanding the history of the area,
the importance of Front Street and
Waterfront Park from a residents and
visitor perspective was important
when developing the ideas.

With this on-call services contract
the City will have access our services
which include site planning and
design, community enhancement,
parks and recreational facilities,
waterfront revitalization, trails,
along with monument signage and
wayfinding. This includes providing
full construction and bid documents
as well as construction observation.

We understand there may be a
need to assist the city in planning
related services as well. Our planning
staff has assisted several cities and
counties with general plan updates,
form-based codes, land use planning,
master plans, design guidelines,
development standards and vision
plans. Design Workshop also
specializes in inclusive public outreach
and engagement and we are able to
assist with informing, preparing and
facilitating stakeholder meetings,
community meetings, open house
activities, virtual meetings as well
developing content that can be used
on the city website or other public
forums.

Kings Beach
Commercial Core
Kings Beach, California
As part of the redevelopment of the Kings Beach
commercial core, Design Workshop provided preliminary
studies that explored alternatives for improving land
uses, redevelopment and community enhancement.

Alternatives explored developing transect and form based codes, design guidelines and development standards.

The alternatives were presented and discussed in detail with the public over a series of four public meetings. The preferred alternative was finalized and an environmental impact report performed and certified.

Design Workshop then prepared detailed design drawings
and full construction documents for the streetscape
improvements. Working closely with business owners, the project team ensured their concerns are addressed while integrating private property interface into the streetscape design. The end result was nearly 8,000 linear feet of new 6 Work Experience and Qualifications

the design and theming for the project, developed the

Revitalization Plan
Lakeport, California
Historically, Clear Lake has been a destination for wateroriented summer recreation for those residing in northern California, and specifically the Bay Area. Lakeport boasts the finest boat ramps and free lake access on Clear
Lake. The City, with approximately 3.8 miles of shoreline, including a public marina and recreation-based businesses, historically has attracted a high number of visitors. A recent decline in visitor due to the development of reservoirs providing similar recreation activities, the closing of Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa, the diminishing water quality
of Clear Lake, and the growth of the Napa Valley wine
industry. Recognizing that the lake front plays a critical role in the city’s identity for both residents and visitors, the Design Workshop worked with the city in a planning effort focused on identifying opportunities to improve the area physically, environmentally, economically and socially. The plan takes an implementable approach to developing the
Lakeport Lake Front Revitalization Plan by understanding existing land uses, current market conditions and
community needs. The plan provides a road map for future improvements, as well as encouraging reinvestment.

The Harrison Avenue business district is a classic example of an area built in the beginning of automobile dominance.

Located adjacent to one of the most scenic beach fronts in South Lake Tahoe, it serves as a model for positive
business transformation and partnership between the
City and the business owners. Design Workshop worked
extensively with business and property owners to create a design for this 5-block district that embraced the unique architecture and connected the commercial area with
the surrounding natural environment. Existing conflicts between pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles have been
resolved to improve overall safety as well preserving
commercial parking spaces. Connectivity to adjacent
destinations such as the lake, recreation center and the school district have been improved with new sidewalks
and a bike path. One of the new spaces created was

Heritage Plaza
Tahoe City, California
As part of a retainer contract with the California Tahoe Conservancy, Design Workshop developed conceptual
design solutions for an intimate new community park in
downtown Tahoe City. The site, which is surrounded by
mixed-use retail, is located on a bluff with uninterrupted views of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding mountains and is adjacent to the historic Watson cabin.

Design Workshop facilitated steering committee and
community meetings to discuss the vision, uses, and
importance of this plaza with community stakeholders. The result was a concept that preserves the views of the lake while providing a structure for civic events to take place.

Ample walls for passive seating and relaxing are proposed along with areas for interpretation of the rich historical and cultural aspects of Tahoe City. A lower overlook area provides the stage for small informal performances and is visible from all areas of the park. Design Workshop was retained to finalize the design, aid with environmental permitting, and complete construction documentation.
9 Staffing
A primary focus of the Design
Workshop Lake Tahoe studio is
park and streetscape design and
recreational planning. Each of our
staff has provided similar design and
management skills required for this
on-call services contract.

Our team has the experience and
capacity to meet your individual
project goals and schedules. To
provide the breadth of services
associated with retainer contracts
requires a team with a deep resource
base of available technology and
professionals committed to the timely
completion of the project. Design
Workshop has been involved with a
number of on-call service contracts
and, as such, we understand the
requirements of such contracts and
have the ability to adjust staffing in
order to provide exemplary service.

Our success is due largely to careful
scheduling, staffing and a proactive
approach to ensure that projects are
completed on time and members of
the team have been selected for their
relevant experience and ability to think
critically, take the initiative to problemsolve, and address the specific needs of each project.

We affirm that our team has enough
capacity to manage numerous
on-call projects at any given time.

The Lake Tahoe studio has four
landscape architects, two planners,
four landscape designers and one
administrative support person. In
addition, we consider our firm one
office with long hallways. We
continually work together through
cross office collaboration and
additional firm-wide resources can
be made available to meet individual
project needs.

Our team considers the opportunity
to provide services to the City to be
of utmost importance and, if selected
to provide such services, projects will
receive full commitment by staff.

Project Management
Design Workshop annually invests
in staff training and development
to advance our team’s abilities and
methods to ensure quality deliverables
and service throughout the design
and planning process. This includes
attending multiple courses focused
on servicing our clients. We train and
use management software so project
managers have the best tools available
to organize resources, processes and
budgets. Finally, and most important,
we regularly communicate with
our clients and other consultants.

We find great success and value
providing ongoing dialogue and
interaction to ensure we are able to
deliver the quality of service the City
staff expects within the anticipated
schedule and budget.

Our Principals provide weekly project
reviews to proactively identify project
needs and offer quick access to
national best practices. The staff
identified to service this on-call have
dozens of years of practice leading,
managing and implementing projects
in California with diverse teams of
sub-consultants. Our firm has honed
its processes over 50 years to deliver
high-quality, well-resolved projects by:
• Assigning the most experienced
personnel to given projects
• Using firm standards for design
and documentation
• Using firm policies for diligent
internal design reviews and quality
management reviews
Our project management philosophy is
built upon anticipation and preparation
for all issues that may arise throughout
the project process. By constantly
considering and developing the
appropriate plan to address political,
environmental, social and design
challenges and opportunities, we can
better serve our clients and deliver the
highest quality product.

Strong and effective project
management is essential in
conducting successful projects. We
maintain project schedules and project
milestones, identify and monitor
critical paths to success for projects,
and track and report budget items to
the clients promptly and efficiently.

8 Sonoma County Junior College District - PCHMA – Haehl Pavilion Geothermal Wells Santa Rosa, California
Description of Services:

As part of the permitting process for drilling and installation of the geothermal heat exchange wells, the County of Sonoma Permit and Resource Management Department (PRMD) and North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (NCRWQCB) expressed concerns that the drilling process could pose possible cross contamination issues between historically documented shallow groundwater impacts (petroleum hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents) and potential deeper water-bearing zones.

Based on this circumstance, the drilling permit process was suspended and SRJC contracted with EBA to assess PRMD’s and NCRWQCB’s concerns and to establish whether any modifications to the proposed geothermal heat exchanger installation protocols are necessary to minimize potential risks. EBA directed and oversaw the advancement of 12 Cone Penetrometer Technology (CPT) borings by Kehoe Testing and Engineering (Kehoe) from Huntington Beach, California. Based on the information collected during the investigation, the SRJC was able to continue with the installation of the Geothermal Wells.

PART II RELATED WORK EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
The following sections include brief descriptions of applicable projects in water and wastewater.

With very few exceptions, the projects listed below were complete within approved budgets and regulatory deadlines.

Regulatory Compliance Management
FES has developed and implemented a regulatory compliance database with over 700 compliance activities over 5 years to aid Crescent City maintain compliance with numerous regulatory programs Including the following categories:
2017 NPDES Permit for WWTP Drinking Water
Pretreatment Hazardous Materials
OSHA State Lands Commission
America's Infrastructure Act Backflow Prevention
Water Rights Lab- Compliance
PFAS Stormwater
FES prepares monthly compliance activities reports for Crescent City staff as reminders of upcoming compliance activities. This system is one way of assuring regulatory compliance consistency even with changes in staffing. The entire database is uploaded to Crescent City on a quarterly basis. The database was developed to be easily used by FES or City Staff. One goal of the system is to preserve institutional knowledge between transitions of City staff or consultants.

FES has developed compliance management tools for tracking FOG activities and for tracking Significant Industrial Users. Database systems are currently being implemented and are kept up to date by City staff. Data systems allow for prioritizing inspections and stores data from individual compliance inspections. Reporting allows the pretreatment inspector to review site details and inspection histories/notes from individual sites which aids in preparing for upcoming site inspections.

FES is currently developing a Backflow Prevention tracking and reporting system that will consolidate historic test results, device photos, and records into a single database, generate mail-merge tables for notice letters, and allow for reporting program progress to regulators.

These compliance management systems are designed to demonstrate program progress and compliance to State and Federal regulators and prevents the loss of institutional knowledge during staff, consultant, and regulator transitions. These programs are intended to outlive individual staff, consultants, and regulators.

Regulatory Report Preparation
FES has experience in preparing regulatory reports for municipal and other regulated clients.

FES has prepared Annual MWELO reports, Annual Electronic Reports, and Annual Water Rights Reports for the City of Crescent City qnd others. Additional examples of regulatory reporting for various programs is included in the sections below. 2 Sanitary Sewer Management Planning
FES has facilitated planning processes with several agencies to develop Sanitary Sewer Management Plans (SSMP), periodic SSMP audits (every 2-years), and SSMP updates (every 5-years).

www.harpereng.com Page 4
HAE has developed the most comprehensive technical specifications in the water industry for coating and painting of tanks. Our specifications have been expanded to specifically address the areas within the tank where the coatings are most prone to failure. The specifications for the project will conform to the City format and include City's new specification sections, but will still be comprehensive and specifically address the areas within the tank where the coatings are most prone to failure.

HAE can provide our clients with lower engineering costs for their projects. Our knowledge, comprehensive technical specifications and plans, and customized bidding and construction assistance have been created in a way that is more productive, as we are not spending hours researching means and methods for each individual project. HAE’s vast experience in this industry has also enabled us to provide each client with quick and efficient review of submittals, procedures, and RFI’s, which keep sour management costs down. In addition, because of our efficient services, progress meetings are kept to a minimum, which saves the client's personnel time to work on other pressing matters.

In 1979, HAE was the first engineering firm in Southern California to provide full-time quality control coating and paint inspection. In addition, our founder, William Harper, was a member of the original committee that formulated the NACE coating inspection program and testing. Since HAE was founded we have been diligent in hiring highly qualified inspectors. Our inspectors not only have NACE certifications, but have field experience in coating and painting with many of our inspectors being either past foremen or superintendents for coating contractors.

HAE is currently providing engineering services to the City of Crescent City for the Amador and Washington Tanks. HAE prepared the specifications and plans for the Amador rehabilitation project and provided the bidding and construction assistance and quality control inspection for the first phase of the project. Currently, HAE is preparing the specifications and plans for the Washington Tank rehabilitation project. Based on these projects, HAE is very familiar with City's operations and procedures.

As can be seen in the references provided, many clients have used our engineering services exclusively for their tank projects for many decades. We believe our long-standing service to a variety of public agencies throughout California, many on a continuous basis throughout our 42 years in business, is a testimonial to the quality of services we provide. We encourage the City to confer with any of the references. The primary assurance is the fact that all work will be done by highly qualified and experienced engineers with an outstanding array of technical talent and expertise and who are uniquely familiar with water tank projects.

Re: Qualifications to provide Civil Engineering Services Dear Mr. Olson:

Following is my response to the City’s Request for Qualifications to provide civil engineering services on an “as-needed” basis. This proposal is submitted by the undersigned operating as a sole proprietorship as “Michael Young - Civil Engineer” located at 3750 Lake Earl Drive, Crescent City 95531. I, Michael Young, California Registered Civil Engineer #17413, will be the Project Manager.

To veiy briefly summarize my qualifications, I have been directly involved in almost every major Crescent City water and wastewater project since 1973, not to mention other projects.

As such I bring an unmatched wealth of experience, knowledge and history of the City’s utility systems.

I look forward to discussing the opportunity to be of further assistance to the City.

Sincerely,
Mi Voting

STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS

ORGANIZATION OF FIRM
The firm of “Michael Young - Civil Engineer” is a sole proprietorship with a staff of one person -myself, Michael J. Young. I opened the business in 2004 after I retired as Crescent City’s Director of Public Works. Prior to my employment as Del Norte County Engineer and then Crescent City’s Director of Public Works, I owned and managed Michael Young and Associates, a civil engineering consulting firm (1979 to 1998) which employed, at onetime, 12 persons.

Michael Young and Associates was a general civil engineering consulting firm providing civil and structural engineering services primarily, but not exclusively, in Del Norte County.

RELATED WORK EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
The Request for Qualifications was presented with a view towards ultimately requesting professional services “...to be performed on an on-call, as needed basis.” With that scope of services in mind, I am especially well qualified. I was Crescent City’s;

1. City Manager and City Engineer from 1973 to 1979,

2. County Engineer (Del Norte Country) from 1997 to 2001,

3. Director of Public Works from 2001 to 2003,

4. Interim City Manager from May 2008 to February 2009,

5. Contract Project Manager from February 2013 to August 2014,

6. Contract Project Manager from May 2015 to May 2017, and

7. Interim City Manager from May 2017 to January 2018.

On all these occasions, I was involved in the design and/or operation and/or management of certain City facilities and projects.

My consulting firm, Michael Young and Associates (MYA), was also part of my long-term involvement with the City’s facilities. In the early 1980’s MYA designed the water system expansion that included improvements at the City’s water source (Ranney Collector) and the construction of the 1.5 million gallon Amador Street storage tank. Then, in the late 1980’s MYA, again, designed additional improvements at the Ranney Collector, improvements at the Chlorination Building and a transmission line from the Collector to the then under construction Pelican Bay State Prison.

My most recent projects with municipal type facilities, are:

1. Water system expansion, including production, treatment and storage facilities, wastewater treatment system repair and expansion for the ELWA Hospital expansion and 140 acre mixed use campus, Paynesville, (Monrovia) Liberia.

2. Water system design (production, treatment, distribution and storage) and wastewater system design (collection, special treatment and disposal for relocation of Bethesda Medical Clinic, Vaudreuil (Cap Haitian), Haiti.
1 3. Water system improvements (supply source, treatment and conveyance) for the expansion of the AIC Litein Community Hospital and Medical School, Litein, Kericho County, Kenya (100 beds to 350 beds and 100 to 250 resident medical students),

4. Wastewater system improvements (treatment and disposal) for the expansion of the above AIC Litein Community Hospital and Medical School, Litein, Kericho County, Kenya,

5. Water system improvements (supply source, treatment and conveyance) for the expansion of the CURE Children’s Hospital of Uganda, Mbale, Uganda,

6. Multipurpose Building (20 meters x 26.5 meters, 2 story, reinforced concrete) for a private girls school (on-site residence), Hazrapur, Bangladesh, and

7. Preliminary planning and final design of Crescent City’s “Front Street Drainage Project” funded through a Community Development Block Grant.

As noted on my personal resume (attached), I have 59 years of professional engineering experience and have been a licensed California Civil Engineer since 1967. Approximately half of my professional career has been in the public sector (cities and counties) and half in the private sector. My experience has focused on small to medium size projects utilizing my skills in structural design, primarily buildings, and water and wastewater systems. Water system projects have included work in the development water sources, water treatment and distribution system. Wastewater projects have included work from collection systems to wastewater treatment to its disposal.

STAFFING AND SUPPORT
As a firm of one person, I am the totality of the staff. Besides the professional engineering services, on small projects I often perform some technical staff services such as drafting. On the larger projects, when needed, I use locally available services,such as surveying and drafting, on a subcontract basis.

KEY PERSONNEL
As noted above, I am a single person sole proprietorship and as such I am the key personnel.

Ed has worked on six Prop 1 funded projects, five projects funded by the Department of Agriculture, and other state grant programs.

WATER PROJECTS
Project Engineer/Manager, California Rural Water Association: Ed recently worked with CRWA to provide technical assistance to disadvantaged, small water districts and communities throughout California. The projects were funded under the Prop 1 State Grant program. His most recent projects were:
• Daggett Community Services District, Daggett, CA: Daggett is a small community in San Bernardino County. Their water system is very old and not well maintained. He has performed tests on two wells, two storage tanks, and the community distribution system. The conclusion was that all the facilities should be replaced.
• Apple Valley Foothill County Water District; Apple Valley, CA: Apple Valley Foothill is another small disadvantaged community in San Bernardino County. This District has provided good maintenance, but their equipment is old and doesn’t meet current codes. Their water storage tank is also old and undersized. Their plan is to replace the tank with two smaller tanks, but in total with a larger volume of storage.
• Campo Elementary School, Campo, CA: Campo is an Elementary school near San Diego that has its own water system. The wells were old and not performing properly so they have been replaced. The recommendations for this project are to replace the storage tank and the irrigation system. During the drought the play fields died and need to be reseeded and a new irrigation system installed.

Edward L. Marlow, Professional Engineer (Civil) (page 2) Engineering • Planning • Construction Management SUMMARY 2020 • Sheep Creek Water Company, Phelon, CA: Sheep Creek has 7 storage tanks, Ed was the project manager for evaluating the storage tanks, the largest 1 million gallons. These tanks service three pressure zones. There are no booster pump stations – everything is fed by gravity.

Spring Creek Utilities Company, Spring Creek, NV: Project Manager for a multi-year, water system replacement project. This project involved the replacement of over 70,000 feet of inferior and defective piping, the addition of four water storage tanks, two new wells, two booster pump stations and other ancillary improvements. The community was built in the late 1940’s and the contractor/developer used pipe that was too small to adequately transport the water to the customers. This resulted in areas with too little pressure and other areas with too high of pressure. Water shortages were routine. This $14 million project is a 5-year project funded by rate increases. The water company is a private company and cannot receive grants.

Soledad Well Design, City of Soledad, CA: Project Manager for two new wells to replace two older wells that were contaminated with nitrates. The wells, each 1,000 gpm, had hypochlorite disinfection systems. The project also included two new storage tanks. The funding for the two new wells came from the Farmers Home Administration.

Colusa Rancheria, Well Design, City of Colusa, CA: The Tribal Council of the Colusa Rancheria identified the need to construct a new water supply. Mr. Marlow was the project manager for the design and construction of three new wells to serve the Rancheria. The project included geophysical analysis of the aquifers, water quality sampling, and sizing of the casing, screening and gravel pack. Outfitting the well with pumps was also included.

Arcade Water Line Replacement, Sacramento County, CA: Project Manager for the recently completed design of a water line replacement project for the Arcade Water District in Sacramento. The project consists of the replacement of approximately 30,000 feet of distribution piping and 530 customer service connections. Plans were created using aerial photos as a background for the plan views.

Eastside Water District, Groundwater Study, City of Denair, CA: Project Manager for evaluating the impacts of over drafting of the aquifer under the District. Psomas also recommended methods of finding replacement water to either; use for irrigation replacement or to use for groundwater recharge. Psomas also successfully obtained a $250,000 grant for the project – the District had tried three previous times with another consultant and was unsuccessful.

Lodi Water Storage Tank and Booster Pump Station Design, City of Lodi, CA: Project Manager for a new 1,000,000-gallon water storage tank was needed in the eastside of Lodi. The design included a new welded steel tank and 5,500-gpm booster pumping station. The facility also comes equipped with a standby generation system.

ENERGY PROJECTS
Veterans Administration Washington, DC: Program Manager for the writing of a new RetroCommissioning Process Manual for the Veterans Administration. Retro-Commissioning, sometimes called Existing Building Commissioning, should not be confused with commissioning. Where commissioning takes place during the new construction phase of a building’s life or of a specific piece of equipment, Retro-Commissioning always refers to the commissioning of a building that has never been commissioned. This process manual defined the necessary steps of Retro-Commissioning and presented processes and methodologies for conducting the project. The VA did not have a Process Manual for these types of services.

Veterans Administration VISN 15, St. Louis, MO: Program Manager for the Retro-Commissioning of two large VA hospitals in St. Louis, Missouri. The two hospitals were John Cochran VAMC and Jefferson Barracks VAMC. These two projects involved the energy analysis of the energy consuming systems at the two hospitals. The first phase of the Energy Analysis is to establish existing conditions. A thorough evaluation was made of the past three years of energy use – to establish the baseline energy consumption and to use it as a benchmark for later studies. The intensive studies were highlighted with diagnostic monitoring over a 14-day period and functional testing of all the components of the air handling and HVAC systems.

Veterans Administration VISN 11, Battle Creek, MI. and Ann Arbor, MI.: Program Manager for the Retro-Commissioning of two large VA hospitals in Michigan. The two hospitals were in Battle Creek, MI. and Ann Arbor MI. For these two projects, Mr. Marlow provided client liaison, technical and staffing management. These two projects involved the energy analysis of the energy consuming systems at the two hospitals. The first phase of the Energy Analysis is to establish existing conditions. A thorough evaluation was made of the past three years of energy use – to establish the baseline energy consumption and to use it as a benchmark for later studies. The intensive studies were highlighted with diagnostic monitoring over a 14-day period and functional testing of all the components of the air handling and HVAC systems.

Veterans Administration VISN 8, Nine Hospitals in Florida and Puerto Rico: Program Manager and senior engineer for the execution of ASHRAE Level 1 and 2 Audits of 9 VA Hospitals in San Juan Puerto Rico, Gainesville, Bay Pines, Tampa, West Palm Beach, Miami, Orlando, Ft. Myers and Lake City, Florida. These audits were conducted over a 6-month period and included Benchmarking, Creating Baselines and Energy Conservation Identification.

Veterans Administration VISN 1, Taugus, ME, White River Junction Medical Center, White River Junction VT, and Northampton, MA: Program Manager for the Retro-Commissioning of three large VA hospitals in New England. For these projects, Mr. Marlow provided client liaison, technical and staffing management. These projects began with an energy analysis of the energy consuming systems at each hospital. The first phase of the Energy Analysis was to establish existing operating conditions.
