STAFF REPORT
Date: October 7, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Juan Arauz/Richard Iglesias, Interim City Managers By: Richard Iglesias, Interim City Manager/City Clerk
Subject: Consideration to Review and Approve the Draft Minutes of September 16, 2025, for the Regular Meeting of the City Council and the Joint Meeting of the City of Cudahy as Successor Agency and Housing Successor Agency to the Cudahy Development Commission

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to review and approve the City Council / Successor Agency Draft Minutes for September 16, 2025.

BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
On December 12, 2016, the City Council of the City of Cudahy adopted Resolution No. 16-38, approving the use of summary action minutes, meant to allow the City Clerk's Office to write the minutes in brief, assuring a record of Council's actions, due to having a recording of the full Council Meeting on the City’s website.

Historically
The Municipal Clerk is one of the oldest professions in government, dating back to 1272 A.D., originating in England. The record keeper then was called Remembrancer, an English official whose job was to remind the Lord Treasurer and Barons of Court, of business pending.

Years later, in the 1600s, when early colonists came to America, the office of the Clerk was one of the first offices to be established. Over the years, the City Clerk’s office has become the core for local government, and the liaison to the residents of the Community. The Municipal Item Number
12A

“Serving the People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"

Clerk (City Clerk) is the record keeper of a City’s recorded history.

William Bennett Munro, a Canadian historian, and political scientist, who taught at Harvard University and the California Institute of Technology, stated in one of his first textbooks written: “No other office in municipal service has so many contacts. It serves the Mayor, the City Council, the City Manager (when there is one), and all administrative departments, without exception. All of them call upon it, almost daily, for some service or information. Its work is not spectacular, but it demands versatility, alertness, accuracy, and no end of patience.

The public does not realize how many loose ends of city administration this office pulls together.”
Moving forward to the present time, the City Clerk’s office today is generally responsible for keeping a record of City Council meetings; agreements; recordings of official documents; legal advertisements; municipal elections; commissions and committees current files; claims against the city; and other legal or official documents.

City Clerks are required to keep record of the proceedings (minutes) of Council meetings (Government Code Sections 36814 and 40801). Minutes are the official record of a meeting which provides a history of the Council’s decisions and actions.

CONCLUSION
The City Council is requested to approve the attached City Council / Agency Draft Minutes of the proceedings of September 16, 2025.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
No correlation to the strategic plan.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
No Financial Impact.

PUBLIC COMMENTS RECEIVED VIA EMAIL
Johncito “John” Peraza Hello Mayor and Members of the City Council, I want to begin by expressing my gratitude to the City of Cudahy for the opportunity to serve as Assistant to the City Manager over the past two years. I am especially grateful to the dedicated city staff, whose kindness and support following the recent passing of my grandmother meant more than I can say. As I transition into a new role, tonight marks my first City Council meeting with the City of Moreno Valley. While I regret being unable to attend in person, I want to take this moment to honor and celebrate the retirement of the City Manager Mr.

Alfonso Noyola. Al’s leadership has left a lasting mark on Cudahy—advancing infrastructure, deepening public engagement, strengthening legislative affairs, and sharpening our strategic vision. His impact will endure in the city’s continued growth and success. To Al, I extend my sincere thanks. You gave me the opportunity to serve in local government, where every decision touches the daily lives of our residents. Your mentorship and example have been invaluable, and they made possible my transition to a larger community of 230,000 people. I sometimes think you knew exactly what you were doing—now I’ve got twice the emails, three times the meetings, and somehow the same amount of coffee. (And yes, that’s my attempt at humor.) And here’s another: What do Johnny Carson, Don Rickles, Bob Hope, and Al have in common? Three of them may be

City Council/Successor Agency Minutes of 09/16/2025 Page 3 of 9 dead, but all four share the same enduring trait—kindness and loyalty. Al’s kindness to city staff and loyalty to the city go on without question. Finally, I want to recognize the city staff. Much of their work is carried out quietly, without fanfare, and often without being seen or misunderstood. Yet it is their dedication, day in and day out, that makes progress possible. I will always be grateful to have worked alongside such committed public servants. From Cudahy to Sacramento to Washington, D.C., I join current and former colleagues in wishing you a Al a long, happy, and well-earned retirement.

Subject: Consideration of Approval of Updated Sewer System Management Plan as Required by State Water Resources Control Board Order WQ 2022-0103-DWQ

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to consider the approval of the updated Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) as required by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Order WQ 2022-0103-DWQ.

BACKGROUND
On May 2, 2006, the SWRCB adopted Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) which requires a Monitoring and Reporting Program for sanitary sewer systems by the issuance of Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ. The regulations in the Order were in response to growing public concern about the water quality impacts of Sewer Overflows, or Spills, particularly those that cause beach closures, adverse effects to other bodies of water, or pose serious health and safety or nuisance problems.

Two major components of the WDR require the following: 1) the owners/operators of publicly owned Sewer Collection Systems, a mile long or greater, must apply for coverage under the WDR; and 2) the owners/operators must develop and implement an SSMP specific to the sanitary sewer system. To comply with the first component, the City filed a Notice of intent (NOI) application form with the SWRCB in 2006 and received a Waste Discharger Identification Number (WDID) [4SSO10380]. To comply with the second component, the SSMP was prepared and approved by the City Council. The last update to the SSMP was completed in April 2011.

On December 6, 2022, the SWRCB adopted Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) which requires an SSMP and related notification, monitoring, and reporting for sanitary sewer systems by the issuance of Order WQ 2022-0003-DWQ. It became effective on June 5, Item Number
12B

2023, and superseded the previous SWRCB Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ. All sections and attachments of this 2022 Order are enforceable by the SWRCB and Regional Water Quality Control Boards.

ANALYSIS
The SSMP is divided into 12 chapters, which are mandatory and address the respective provisions contained in the Order, and were reviewed for this update:
● Goals and Actions
● Description of the Organization
● Legal Authority
● Operation and Maintenance Program
● Design and Performance Provisions
● Spill Emergency Response Plan
● Sewer Pipe Blockage Control Program
● System Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan
● Monitoring, Measurement, Program Modifications
● SSMP Program Audits and Certification
● Communication and SSMP Availability
The City operates and maintains a sewer system that serves the community through a comprehensive collection network comprised of 74,557 feet of pipe. It should be noted that the City’s sanitary sewer system has had very few problems or spills over the last several years.

The SSMP is intended to be a living document in which the City is required to conduct updates every six years after the date of its last Plan update due date to reflect current conditions and knowledge of the system. The Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District (CSMD) of Los Angeles County provides operation and maintenance services and follows the SSMP in servicing the City’s sewer facilities. This update was guided by internal program audits, conducted every three years starting from the end of the last required Audit Period as required by the Order, and operational information exchanged between the City and CSMD.

The 2025 SSMP Update includes updates to staff organization: narrative, definitions, and requirements to be consistent with the 2022 Order; and minor updates to the City’s processes and procedures. Additionally, as the City is a CSMD agency, updates to the SSMP have been made to be consistent with the 2025 Los Angeles County SSMP Update.

CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the six-year update of the Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). Once approved, the SSMP Update will be submitted to the State Water Resources Control Board via the California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS)

database as required by the 2022 Order. The next SSMP Update will be due within the next six years, but no later August 2, 2031.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with the approval of the SSMP update.

STAFF REPORT
Date: October 7, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Juan Arauz/Richard Iglesias Interim City Managers Prepared by: Cecilia Madrigal-Gonzalez, Senior Planner
Subject: Retail Cannabis Business Permit Presentation – OTC CUDAHY, LLC

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to take the following action(s):

1. Receive and file a presentation by the Retail Cannabis Permittee, OTC Cudahy, LLC; and

2. Receive and file the report.

BACKGROUND
In 2022, the City of Cudahy (“City”) placed a ballot initiative known as the Commercial Marijuana Regulation and Tax Measure (“Measure”) to authorize and regulate storefront retail cannabis sales subject to location restrictions and establish a 15% gross receipt tax on such businesses. The Measure was approved by the voters at the November 8, 2022, general municipal election. As a result, the City Council of the City of Cudahy (“City Council”) adopted Ordinance No. 730, codified in the Cudahy Municipal Code (“CMC”) as Chapter 5.30, titled “Cannabis Retailers” authorizing a maximum of two (2) retail cannabis businesses, one (1) in the Civic Mixed Use Zone (“CivicMU”), and one (1) in the Urban Agriculture Overlay Zone (“Overlay”).

Based on the cannabis retailer application procedures outlined in CMC Section 5.30.070, the City adopted all necessary forms and application rules for soliciting retail cannabis business permits. The application process consists of three main phases as summarized below:

1. Application Submittal. The application period is reopened for a period of 30-days.

Applicants must submit all required documentation and pay the appropriate application fee.

Item Number
14A

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
10/7/2025 Page 2 of 2

2. City Completeness Review. Within 60 days of ceasing the acceptance of applications, the applications will be reviewed to determine whether the application meets the minimum criteria requirements. If it fails, the application is deemed incomplete and rejected. Only complete applications move on to the Scoring Review phase.

3. Scoring Review. Within 90 days of completing Phase 2, the applications are scored pursuant to the objective review criteria and quantitative scale pursuant to CMC Section

5.30.070(4). A maximum of 1,100 points is awarded.

The City solicited the initial availability of the retail cannabis business permit (“Permit”) in March 2023. As a result, one (1) retail cannabis business permit was issued on January 16, 2024, but was voluntarily surrendered in February 2025. With the surrender, and in any event where a retail cannabis business permit is made available for issuance, the City is required to reinitiate the application solicitation process. In April 2025, the City reopened the application, but no application was received. Again, in June 2025, the City reopened the application, and one (1) application was received by OTC Cudahy, LLC, and ultimately selected to be awarded a retail cannabis permit.

OTC Cudahy, LLC, proposed to operate at 8036-8038 Atlantic Ave, located in the CivicMU zone.

OTC Cudahy, LLC’s application is provided as Attachment A.

DISCUSSION
The City Manager, as a ministerial duty, issues a retail cannabis business permit. The decision to issue the retail cannabis business permit is a final administrative decision and is not subject to discretionary review. CMC Section 5.30.070 (Cannabis Retailer Application Procedure) requires a permittee to make a presentation to either City staff/or City Council.

The purpose of this presentation is to inform the members of the public of the retail cannabis business permit application selection process and allow members of the public to ask questions and provide comments. The presentation is included as Attachment B.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Pursuant to the CMC, the processing of a retail cannabis business permit is administrative and not subject to discretionary review. In addition, there is no expansion or new construction (floor area) proposed by OTC Cudahy, LLC. Therefore, per Section 15268 of Article 18 of the CEQA guidelines, this action is a “ministerial project” and is exempt from CEQA.

8. On November 7, 2023 the City Council approved a Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement to the PS&E for the Cudahy Park Renovations.

9. On September 3, 2024, the City Council approved a Third Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement to the PS&E for the Cudahy Park Renovations.

10. On August 7, 2025 , the City requested additional design services for the Cudahy Park Renovation Project in order to phase the construction of the project to align with the available funding as well as realigning the bioswale elements of the project to minimize the impacts to informal play areas.

ANALYSIS
The City was awarded $6.9 million from Prop 68 through the State of California Natural Resources Agency to renovate Cudahy Park. The scope of work included in the grant are as follows:
• Construct a new walking path around the park
• Construct a new splash pad with shade
• Construct a new fitness area with shade
• Construct a new community stage
• Renovate the baseball field
• Reconstruct the playground
• Reconstruct the skate park
• Reconstruct the small basketball courts

• Storage Building
• Courtyard Water Feature

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"

Third Amendment
• Additional Soil Analysis Testing
Additionally, staff is recommending the scope of work be amended as follows:
• Divide the park renovations into two phases due to funding constraints. This involves preparing a separate construction plan package for Phase 1 and Phase 2, respectively.

Both construction bid packages will consist of plans, specifications, and opinion of probable cost suitable for public bidding.
• Relocate the bioswales/basins to the south property line of the park. • Illustrate on plans, additional concrete walkways, removals, and replacement at designated areas.

Although City staff is in the process of applying for additional funding in order to complete all of the improvements identified in the initial grant application, based on construction cost increases over the past several years, and current bid prices for similar projects, the project is currently underfunded. In addition, the water quality improvement elements in the original design occupied important informal play areas in the park. Finally, staff reviewed the condition and location of the existing walkways in the park and determined there is a need for concrete repairs and an additional walkway element along the north side of the reconstructed tennis/basketball courts south of City Hall.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends approving the Fourth Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) to Willdan Engineering Inc, to provide additional engineering design services for preparing PS&E (Plan, Specifications, and Estimates) for the Cudahy Park Renovation Project.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
Goal A: Community Services, Programs, and Activities for all Objective:

3. Ensure parks are safe, clean, welcoming, and accessible to all.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for the Fourth Amendment is $20,606 for a new not-to-exceed contract cost of $511,672, funded by Proposition 68.

In recognition of this interest, CONSULTANT agrees that it will not assign or transfer, either directly or indirectly or by operation of law, this Agreement or the performance of any of CONSULTANT’s duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the CITY. In the absence of CITY’s prior written consent, any attempted assignment or transfer will be ineffective, null and void and will constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

2.6 SUBSTITUTION OF KEY PERSONNEL: CONSULTANT has represented to CITY that certain key personnel will perform and coordinate the Services under this Agreement. Should one or more of such personnel become unavailable, CONSULTANT may substitute other personnel of at least equal competence upon written approval of CITY.

As discussed below, any personnel who fail or refuse to perform the Services in a manner acceptable to the CITY, or who are determined by the CITY to be uncooperative, incompetent, a threat to the adequate or timely completion of the Project or a threat to the safety of persons or property, shall be promptly removed from the Project by the CONSULTANT at the request of the CITY.

2.7 CONTROL AND PAYMENT OF SUBORDINATES; INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTOR: The Work will be performed by CONSULTANT or under CONSULTANT’s strict supervision. CONSULTANT will determine the means, methods and details of performing the Work subject to the requirements of this Agreement. CITY retains CONSULTANT on an independent contractor basis and not as an employee. CONSULTANT reserves the right to perform similar or different services for other principals during the term of this Agreement, provided such work does not unduly interfere with CONSULTANT’s competent and timely performance of the Work contemplated under this Agreement and provided the performance of such services does not result in the unauthorized disclosure of CITY’s confidential or proprietary information. Any additional personnel performing the Work under this Agreement on behalf of CONSULTANT are not employees of CITY and will at all times be under CONSULTANT’s exclusive direction and control. CONSULTANT will pay all wages, salaries and other amounts due such personnel and will assume responsibility for all benefits, payroll taxes, Social Security and Medicare payments and the like. CONSULTANT will be responsible for all reports and obligations respecting such additional personnel, including, but not limited to: Social Security taxes, income tax withholding, unemployment insurance, disability insurance, workers’ compensation insurance and the like.

7 2.8 REMOVAL OF EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS: If any of CONSULTANT’s officers, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors or subconsultants is determined by the CITY Representative to be uncooperative, incompetent, a threat to the adequate or timely performance of the tasks assigned to CONSULTANT, a threat to persons or property, or if any of CONSULTANT’s officers, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors or subconsultants fail or refuse to perform the Work in a manner acceptable to the CITY, such officer, employee, agent, contractor, subcontractor or subconsultant will be promptly removed by CONSULTANT and will not be reassigned to perform any of the Work.

2.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS: CONSULTANT will keep itself informed of and in compliance with all applicable federal, state or local laws to the extent such laws control or otherwise govern the performance of the Work. CONSULTANT’s compliance with applicable laws will include, without limitation, compliance with all applicable Cal/OSHA requirements and applicable regulations of the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urbanization.

2.10 NON-DISCRIMINATION: CONSULTANT represents that it is an equal opportunity employer and it shall not discriminate against any subconsultant, employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, national origin, handicap, ancestry, sex or age. Such non-discrimination shall include, but not be limited to, all activities related to initial employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination.

2.11 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS: The Parties acknowledge, understand and agree that CONSULTANT and all persons retained or employed by CONSULTANT are, and will at all times remain, wholly independent contractors and are not officials, officers, employees, departments or subdivisions of CITY.

CONSULTANT will be solely responsible for the negligent acts and/or omissions of its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors and subconsultants.

CONSULTANT and all persons retained or employed by CONSULTANT will have no authority, express or implied, to bind CITY in any manner, nor to incur any obligation, debt or liability of any kind on behalf of, or against, CITY, whether by contract or otherwise, unless such authority is expressly conferred to CONSULTANT under this Agreement or is otherwise expressly conferred by CITY in writing.

III.

INSURANCE

CONSULTANT will procure and maintain the following insurance coverage, at its own expense:

A. Commercial General Liability Insurance: CONSULTANT will procure and maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance (“CGL Coverage”) as broad as Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability coverage

8 (occurrence Form CG 0001) or its equivalent. Such CGL Coverage will have minimum limits of no less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in the general aggregate for bodily injury, personal injury, property damage, operations, products and completed operations, and contractual liability.

B. Automobile Liability Insurance: CONSULTANT will procure and maintain Automobile Liability Insurance as broad as Insurance Services Office Form Number CA 0001 covering Automobile Liability, Code 1 (any auto). Such Automobile Liability Insurance will have minimum limits of no less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per accident for bodily injury and property damage.

C. Workers’ Compensation Insurance/ Employer’s Liability Insurance: A policy of workers’ compensation insurance in such amount as will fully comply with the laws of the State of California and which will indemnify, insure and provide legal defense for both CONSULTANT and CITY against any loss, claim or damage arising from any injuries or occupational diseases occurring to any worker employed by or any persons retained by CONSULTANT in the course of carrying out the Work contemplated in this Agreement.

D. Errors & Omissions Insurance: For the full term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, CONSULTANT will procure and maintain Errors and Omissions Liability Insurance appropriate to CONSULTANT’s profession. Such coverage will have minimum limits of no less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per claim.

3.2 ADDITIONAL INSURED REQUIREMENTS: The CGL Coverage and the Automobile Liability Insurance will contain an endorsement naming the CITY and CITY’s elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers as additional insureds.

3.3 REQUIRED CARRIER RATING: All varieties of insurance required under this Agreement will be procured from insurers admitted in the State of California and authorized to issue policies directly to California insureds. Except as otherwise provided elsewhere under this Article, all required insurance will be procured from insurers who, according to the latest edition of the Best’s Insurance Guide, have an A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A:VII. CITY may also accept policies procured by insurance carriers with a Standard & Poor’s rating of no less than BBB according to the latest published edition the Standard & Poor’s rating guide. As to Workers’ Compensation Insurance/ Employer’s Liability Insurance, the CITY Representative is authorized to authorize lower ratings than those set forth in this Section.

3.4 PRIMACY OF CONSULTANT’S INSURANCE: All policies of insurance provided by CONSULTANT will be primary to any coverage available to CITY or CITY’s elected or appointed officials, officers, employees, agents or volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by CITY or CITY’s elected or appointed

9 officials, officers, employees, agents or volunteers will be in excess of CONSULTANT’s insurance and will not contribute with it.

3.5 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION: All insurance coverage provided pursuant to this Agreement will not prohibit CONSULTANT or CONSULTANT’s officers, employees, agents, subcontractors or subconsultants from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. CONSULTANT hereby waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers.

3.6 VERIFICATION OF COVERAGE: CONSULTANT acknowledges, understands and agrees, that CITY’s ability to verify the procurement and maintenance of the insurance required under this Article is critical to safeguarding CITY’s financial well-being and, indirectly, the collective well-being of the residents of the CITY.

Accordingly, CONSULTANT warrants, represents and agrees that it will furnish CITY with original certificates of insurance and endorsements evidencing the coverage required under this Article on forms satisfactory to CITY in its sole and absolute discretion. The certificates of insurance and endorsements for each insurance policy will be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf, and will be on forms provided by the CITY if requested. All certificates of insurance and endorsements will be received and approved by CITY as a condition precedent to CONSULTANT’s commencement of any Work or any of the Work. Upon CITY’s written request, CONSULTANT will also provide CITY with certified copies of all required insurance policies and endorsements.

3.7 FAILURE TO MAINTAIN COVERAGE: In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.

3.8 SPECIAL RISKS OR CIRCUMSTANCES. City reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

IV.

4.1 The Parties agree that CITY and CITY’s elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers (hereinafter, the “CITY Indemnitees”) should, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be protected from any and all loss, injury, damage, claim, lawsuit, cost, expense, attorneys’ fees, litigation costs, or any other cost arising out of or in any way related to the performance of this Agreement. Accordingly, the provisions of this indemnity provision are intended by the Parties to be interpreted and construed to provide the CITY Indemnitees

10 with the fullest protection possible under the law. CONSULTANT acknowledges that CITY would not enter into this Agreement in the absence of CONSULTANT’s commitment to indemnify, defend and protect CITY as set forth herein Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent CONSULTANT’s services are subject to Civil Code Section 2782.8, the above indemnity shall be limited, to the extent required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, to Claims that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT.

CONSULTANT’s obligation to indemnify shall not be restricted to insurance proceeds, if any, received by the CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents or volunteers.

4.2 To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the CITY Indemnitees from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees and all other costs, and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONSULTANT’s performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such loss or damage which is caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the CITY.

4.3 CITY shall have the right to offset against the amount of any compensation due to CONSULTANT under this Agreement, any amount due to CITY from CONSULTANT as a result of CONSULTANT’s failure to either pay CITY promptly for any costs associated with CONSULTANT’s obligations to indemnify the CITY Indemnitees under this Article, or related to CONSULTANT’s failure to either (i) pay taxes on amounts received pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) comply with applicable workers’ compensation laws.

4.4 The obligations of CONSULTANT under this Article will not be limited by the provisions of any workers’ compensation act or similar act. CONSULTANT expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to CITY and CITY’s elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.

4.5 CONSULTANT agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth herein this Article from each and every subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONSULTANT in the performance of this Agreement. In the event CONSULTANT fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required herein, CONSULTANT agrees to be fully responsible and indemnify, hold harmless and defend CITY and CITY’s elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all claims and losses, costs or expenses for any damage due to death or injury to any person and injury to any property resulting from any alleged intentional, reckless, negligent, or otherwise wrongful acts, errors or omissions of CONSULTANT’s subcontractors or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONSULTANT in the performance of this Agreement. Such costs and expenses shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by counsel of CITY’s choice.

11 4.6 CITY does not, and shall not waive any rights that it may possess against CONSULTANT because of the acceptance by CITY, or the deposit with CITY, of any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement. This hold harmless and indemnification provision shall apply regardless of whether or not any insurance policies are determined to be applicable to the claim, demand, damage, liability, loss, cost, or expense.

4.7 This Article and all provisions contained herein (including but not limited to the duty to indemnify, defend, and hold free and harmless) shall survive the termination or normal expiration of this Agreement and is in addition to any other rights or remedies which the CITY may have at law or in equity.

5.2 EVENTS OF DEFAULT; BREACH OF AGREEMENT:

A. In the event either Party fails to perform any duty, obligation, service or task set forth under this Agreement (or fails to timely perform or properly perform any such duty, obligation, service or task set forth under this Agreement), an event of default (hereinafter, “Event of Default”) will occur. For all Events of Default, the Party alleging an Event of Default will give written notice to the defaulting Party (hereinafter referred to as a “Default Notice”) which will specify: (i) the nature of the Event of Default; (ii) the action required to cure the Event of Default; (iii) a date by which the Event of Default will be cured, which will not be less than the applicable cure period set forth under Sections 5.2B and 5.2C below or if a cure is not reasonably possible within the applicable cure period, to begin such cure and diligently prosecute such cure to completion. The Event of Default will constitute a breach of this Agreement if the defaulting Party fails to cure the Event of Default within the applicable cure period or any extended cure period allowed under this Agreement.

12 B. CONSULTANT will cure the following Events of Defaults within the following time periods:
i. Within ten (10) business days of CITY’s issuance of a Default Notice for any failure of CONSULTANT to timely provide CITY or CITY’s employees or agents with any information and/or written reports, documentation or work product which CONSULTANT is obligated to provide to CITY or CITY’s employees or agents under this Agreement.

Prior to the expiration of the 10-day cure period, CONSULTANT may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CONSULTANT has commenced efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 10-day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, CITY will be under no obligation to grant additional time for the cure of an Event of Default under this Section 5.2B.i. that exceeds seven (7) calendar days from the end of the initial 10-day cure period; or ii. Within fourteen (14) calendar days of CITY’s issuance of a Default Notice for any other Event of Default under this Agreement. Prior to the expiration of the 14-day cure period, CONSULTANT may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CONSULTANT has commenced efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 14-day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, CITY will be under no obligation to grant additional time for the cure of an Event of Default under this Section 5.2B.ii that exceeds thirty (30) calendar days from the end of the initial 14-day cure period.

In addition to any other failure on the part of CONSULTANT to perform any duty, obligation, service or task set forth under this Agreement (or the failure to timely perform or properly perform any such duty, obligation, service or task), an Event of Default on the part of CONSULTANT will include, but will not be limited to the following: (i) CONSULTANT’s refusal or failure to perform any of the services or tasks called for under the Scope of Work; (ii) CONSULTANT’s failure to fulfill or perform its obligations under this Agreement within the specified time or if no time is specified, within a reasonable time; (iii) CONSULTANT’s and/or its employees’ disregard or violation of any federal, state, local law, rule, procedure or regulation; (iv) the initiation of proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, or similar legislation as relates to CONSULTANT, whether voluntary of involuntary; (v) CONSULTANT’s refusal or failure to perform or observe any covenant, condition, obligation or provision of this Agreement; and/or (vii) CITY’s discovery that a statement representation or warranty by CONSULTANT relating to this Agreement is false, misleading or erroneous in any material respect.

C. CITY will cure any Event of Default asserted by CONSULTANT within fortyfive (45) calendar days of CONSULTANT’s issuance of a Default Notice, unless the Event of Default cannot reasonably be cured within the 45-day

13 cure period. Prior to the expiration of the 45-day cure period, CITY may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CITY has commenced its efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 45-day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, an Event of Default dealing with CITY’s failure to timely pay any undisputed sums to CONSULTANT as provided under Section 1.5, above, will be cured by CITY within five (5) calendar days from the date of CONSULTANT’s Default Notice to CITY.

D. CITY, in its sole and absolute discretion, may also immediately suspend CONSULTANT’s performance under this Agreement pending
CONSULTANT’s cure of any Event of Default by giving CONSULTANT written notice of CITY’s intent to suspend CONSULTANT’s performance (hereinafter, a “Suspension Notice”). CITY may issue the Suspension Notice at any time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon such suspension, CONSULTANT will be compensated only for those services and tasks which have been rendered by CONSULTANT to the reasonable satisfaction of CITY up to the effective date of the suspension. No actual or asserted breach of this Agreement on the part of CITY will operate to prohibit or otherwise restrict CITY’s ability to suspend this Agreement as provided herein.

E. No waiver of any Event of Default or breach under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default or breach.

No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party will give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.

F. The duties and obligations imposed under this Agreement and the rights and remedies available hereunder will be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law. In addition to any other remedies available to CITY at law or under this Agreement in the event of any breach of this Agreement, CITY, in its sole and absolute discretion, may also pursue any one or more of the following remedies:
i. Upon written notice to CONSULTANT, the CITY may immediately terminate this Agreement in whole or in part;

14 that CITY incurs upon a breach of this Agreement or in the CITY’s exercise of its remedies under this Agreement.

5.3 SCOPE OF WAIVER: No waiver of any default or breach under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other default or breach, whether of the same or other covenant, warranty, agreement, term, condition, duty or requirement contained in this Agreement. No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party will give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.

5.4 SURVIVING ARTICLES, SECTIONS AND PROVISIONS: The termination of this Agreement pursuant to any provision of this Article or by normal expiration of its term or any extension thereto will not operate to terminate any Article, Section or provision contained herein which provides that it will survive the termination or normal expiration of this Agreement.

City of Cudahy
5 Firm’s Understanding of Objectives
In general, it is the City’s goal to transform the existing park into an aesthetically pleasing productive park with the installation of a variety of amenities and uses that a broad spectrum of the community can benefit from and utilize. Cudahy Park is estimated at 5.9 acres. The entire Cudahy complex encompasses an estimated 8 acres. The complex includes the civic center such as City Hall, a branch of the Los Angeles County Public Library system and a community building for multi-purpose uses named Bedwell Hall. The shape of the site is primarily rectangular with a relatively flat topography with mature trees. The park site is bordered by residential, an elementary school and the Los Angeles River. The existing park has mature trees; therefore, careful attention will be made to protect in place those trees and design the improvements away from any root intrusion. A few of the trees will need to be removed to accommodate the new improvements.

The City conducted a series of community workshops to obtain input and feedback regarding the planning for the renovations. A final schematic site plan was prepared and accepted by the community and City representatives. The funding for the improvements is made available through a Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Grant program in the amount of $6.9 million.

It is our understanding, based on the City-furnished schematic plan, the City would like the following improvements at Cudahy Park:
 New shaded all-inclusive ADA accessible playground
 New ADA-accessible drinking fountains
 New trash receptacles and bench seating
 New stage
 Renovate the basketball courts
 Renovate the multi-purpose fields
 Renovate the tennis courts
 Renovate the skate park
 Renovate the playground
 New shaded splash pad
 New walking trails
 New shaded fitness stations
 New area lighting
 New shaded area for picnic tables and barbeques
 Upgrade irrigation system to meet California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO), e.g., “Smart” technology
 The installation of a planting palette consisting of trees, shrubs and groundcovers that are California native and drought-adaptive species for this geographic region of the Los Angeles basin
Additionally, it is our understanding that the park site currently has onsite parking and offsite parking.

Our scope of work will include reviewing the existing park for ADA-compliant parking stalls and ADA path of travel routes to the various park amenities.

6 Furthermore, Willdan understands that the City has in place a “Covenant to Restrict Use of Property” (recorded in Los Angeles County) between the Department of Toxic Substances Control. Two locations within the park project limits will require specific requirements regarding the development in those respective areas.

Playground and Fitness Stations. The playground equipment will be selective based on an all-inclusive playground system that promotes a high-value experience for the various age groups. These play systems will encourage and challenge the park user. Additionally, the play equipment can improve coordination and strength along the way.

The exercise stations will be selected based on accessibility and ease of use to accommodate multiple types of physical fitness levels for strength building and coordination. Additionally, the selection of the equipment will be based on a fitness circuit approach that can be utilized by the users as an option.

Rubberized Surfacing. The surface material for the playgrounds and fitness areas will be the latest technology in rubberized components and one that is sustainable and produced with recycled materials.

The surface material will be one of having long-lasting durability and wearability and having the proper coefficient of friction suitable for this type of play and exercise value.

Walkways and Park Lighting. These areas are designed per Illumination Institute Standards (IES) with special attention paid to energy efficiency. We have started to use L.E.D. fixtures in addition to the standard Metal Halide approach when cost effective. Time clocks and photo-cell control will also be included, along with vandal resistance and glare. The lighting fixtures will be selected based on the latest advanced technology in lighting efficiency. Reducing glare to adjacent properties is especially important and will be controlled through fixture type and aiming. The optimum light direction will be determined to set the pole heights, the pole placement, and the light levels required for this park site Basketball Courts, Tennis Courts and Multi-Use Fields. The multi-use fields will be designed with the latest technology in sub-soil base and amendments for proper drainage and moisture retention. The basketball and tennis courts’ design will be a regulation size full court size with a non-slip surfacing suitable for outdoor play. The proper placement of expansion joints and control joints enables resistance for concrete crack control.

Sports Lighting. The lighting fixtures will be selected based on the latest advanced technology in lighting efficiency. Reducing glare to adjacent properties is very important and will be controlled through fixture type and aiming. Due to various leagues using these fields, the optimum “class of play” must be determined to set the pole heights, the pole placement, and the light levels required for the most restrictive use. This can be determined after meetings with the stakeholders and City staff.

Picnic Shade Shelters and Community State Architectural Design. Willdan will be utilizing the services of a design-build and manufacturing company that specializes in pre-engineered shade shelters and community stage coverings. As we have learned in past projects, this is a cost-effective and timesensitive approach for this type of construction in a park environment. The manufacturing company makes available many options and amenities that allow for a customized appearance. The shelters will be designed with the most current in construction materials technology. Special attention will be placed on the use of recycled materials for the shelters. For lighting consideration, the use of photovoltaic (solar) systems will be implemented. The specified products and materials for the shelter will be the latest in "Green" technology and efficiency.

7 Walking Paths and General Pedestrian Circulation. Many park users come to this park for both sports and leisure activities. Willdan's design will look at the walking paths throughout the improvement areas and ensure the pathway network has a continuous paved surface. This pathway will include access from the street and other various locations. In addition, these improvements will facilitate a designated pathway for the pedestrian, thus offering a safe and understood environment within the park site.

Furthermore, the walks/pathways will be designed to comply with current guidelines under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Energy Conservation. Consideration will be given to any concepts the City would like used, including photo-voltaic solar systems and LED lighting. Other emerging technologies will be used as they become cost-effective.

Irrigation and Planting. The development of the landscape design will incorporate all aspects of local and state water conservation standards, including meeting the requirements of the California Model Landscape Efficient Ordinance (MWELO). The turf species selected for the open field use will be for its low maintenance, good durability, fast recovery, pest resistance and suitability for this particular geographic region. It has been our experience that the second most important aspect of turf fields (first being irrigation coverage) is the backfill mix within the root zone. Having the proper mixture of organic and inorganic materials in the soil mix allows adequate percolation as well as inhibits soil compaction.

Furthermore, the routine maintenance of soil amendments, such as humate soil conditioners, strengthens the turf for drought tolerance, durability and recovery.

The tree, shrub and groundcover palette will be comprised of drought-tolerant species suitable for the geographic area, along with a well-designed irrigation system that delivers the highest efficiency. All plants will be chosen based on low maintenance requirements such as trimming/pruning cycles, mowing, fertilization needs, and hardiness. Willdan has demonstrated experience in integrating drought-tolerant and low-maintenance plant materials in major urban designs such as sports complexes, city streetscapes, freeways and demonstration gardens.

For the irrigation systems, careful analysis and assessment will be considered. New irrigation mainlines and points of connection (meter and backflow prevention location) will be part of the renovations, along with all new sprinklers/dripline/rotors that achieve maximum water distribution to the planting material. This will start a clean slate for many years to come.

Site Amenities. Along with these major improvements, simple amenities such as bicycle racks, trash receptacles, drinking fountains, and benches will be incorporated into the park site. In addition, overhead shading structures are planned for the playground and picnic table. All these amenities noted will be selected based on sustainability materials, ease of replacement parts and durability for public park use.

Splash Pad. The splash pad design will include a variety of experiences for the users. Options will be presented to the City prior to the final design. The water output among the various spray fountains and water collection buckets will offer unique play values. The mechanical equipment such as pumps, sanitizing reservoirs, filters, and electronics will be the latest technology in efficiency and water conservation.

Bioswales. Willdan will include an analysis and design to include bioswale facilities within the park in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the LA County LID Manual.

Design Phase Engineering Services for the
Preparation of PS&E for the Cudahy Park Renovation
City of Cudahy
8 Water and Sewer Improvements. Willdan will include water and sewer design for connections and pipelines to service the splash pad and drinking fountains in accordance with the water purveyor and County of Los Angeles Department of Health Standards.

Key Issues
Willdan identifies the following “key” issues that may be encountered on the Project based on our prior experiences.

Utilities
Willdan’s initial review of existing utilities within the project area will be conducted based on available contract documents or as-built plans from City and County records. Utilities that appear to be impacted by the project will be identified, field verified and discussed with the utility owner so that both physical and cost impacts can be appropriately addressed in the design. Willdan will coordinate and maintain a liaison with known area utilities. Potholing for underground utilities impacted by subsurface construction activities may be necessary to determine actual depths and locations of known utilities (this will be performed as additional services if necessary). Willdan will send notifications to utility companies so that planned utility installations are performed prior to park construction. In addition, Willdan will submit a set of preliminary plans to each affected utility company for comments and coordinate the potholing of utilities that interfere with proposed improvements, either by the utility company or by an independent contractor as extra work if the utility has prior rights. Furthermore, we will submit a set of final plans to each affected utility company with final notification for the completion of utility work. Finally, Willdan will provide the City with a brief written summary of the utility coordination status upon delivery of final construction contract documents to the City.

Site Grading and Drainage and Topographic Survey
In general, the park site topography is relatively flat, and all four sides of the site are bounded by hardscape surfaces, e.g., asphalt paving, and concrete sidewalks. For this reason, site grading will be straightforward, with the goal of ensuring sufficient slope to maintain drainage and the retention of current drainage patterns. Some of the modifications will include area drain relocation and additions. A topographic survey will be performed to document current conditions such as existing grades, surface culture and any other existing items/structures, along with assisting with designing/placement of the new developments, e.g., community stage.

Water quality management measures will be implemented for this project. Those structures include bio-swales and stormwater filtration chambers. Furthermore, Willdan will work closely with the jurisdictions/agencies of the storm drainage system involved in the adjacent/vicinity of the park site.

Post Construction
Along with a well-thought-out design, the long-term effects regarding the maintenance of the facilities are a consideration we feel is highly important. An area may appear to be optimal, but the cost of maintenance is a question that sometimes gets overlooked. Our design will address maintenance concerns, such as low, medium or high maintenance, along with budgets to consider. Willdan believes good, effective design should be compatible with reasonable maintenance costs. Such elements of the design we look at include planting material selection, paving materials and transitions, and general access for serviceability.

Preparation of PS&E for the Cudahy Park Renovation
City of Cudahy
9 Tree Preservation
Willdan will make tree preservation a priority when designing the new improvements. Our site reconnaissance will assist in determining proper distances from tree trunks with respect to the walkways and other significant features.

Hazardous Material Remediation:

Hazardous material remediation design will include the recommendations of the Los Angeles Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSD) Covenant and Agreement with the City regarding the presence of toxic materials along the River Road Areas and the Tree Areas. A Soil Management Plan has been included in our scope and any related design would address the required remediation of the excavation soils based on the recommendations of the City/DTSD Covenant and Agreement.

Project-Specific Approach
Projects, no matter how big or small, are approached similarly by the Willdan team in that they are thought out clearly and carefully during the earliest stages of the project. This equates to a detailed study of the project requirements during the proposal stage, the assignment of a project manager experienced in those project requirements, and the establishment of a project team with individual expertise in their assigned tasks.

Our vision is that the park renovations should be unique, an asset to the surrounding community and maintain its identity as a recreational environment.

Good planning is an essential element of any design – whether the design is for a recreational park or institutional facility. Willdan understands the importance of well-designed park planning and is experienced in integrating solid design and planning into any setting. As we envision, community parks are divided into several components corresponding to their various uses and are situated in park-like settings complete with walkways, sitting areas and shade areas. This tranquil and aesthetically pleasing setting translates into an effective and conducive space for play and relaxation. Willdan shall strive to create a unique experience for the park improvements that is harmonious with the surroundings and strive for congruency within the project site.

Furthermore, safety and circulation are important factors in design, particularly in a well-planned park environment. These two basic design elements in a public space cannot be compromised or overemphasized. Indeed, one of the most important functions of landscape architecture in a park environment is to convey safe and comfortable surroundings. A well-designed park environment can only generate enthusiasm among its users.

The above considerations will be the driving force behind the design throughout this project. While minor subtleties can occur in smaller spaces such as small gathering plazas, the overall design should offer diversity while maintaining a common thread in the landscape that unifies the park site as a whole.

Willdan’s design philosophy follows the Frank Lloyd Wright maxim: Form Follows Function. This does not mean rigidity in any sense, but that a successful design must work for its intended use. The logical design process then is:
 Determine the users.
 Ascertain goals and needs.
 Development spatial requirements for the intended uses.  Analyze the site for constraints and opportunities to meet desired spatial needs.

Design Phase Engineering Services for the
Preparation of PS&E for the Cudahy Park Renovation
City of Cudahy
10  Develop use/space relationships that integrate like uses and segregate unlike uses. (Conceptual alternatives in relation to site opportunities.)
 Use circulation as the means of connecting spaces and creating form. Use plantings to define spaces, including buffers.
 In the construction drawing implementation, use the economy of means principle. This, basically, is value engineering. It is concerned with a useful life, constructability, efficiency of maintenance, low water use, etc.

The final result is a design product that is creative in landscape personality, respective of site attributes, and provides the client and public the most value for their tax dollars. Landscape architecture should be unique; an asset to the surrounding area yet maintain its identity in its final form and function.

Project Execution - Over the course of the past 52 years, Willdan has developed very practical and successful techniques to project development and delivery. In essence, the following summarizes our approach to delivering your projects on time and within budget.

Once the course of action is established, Willdan will develop a project schedule. The schedule will be circulated to the City and other pertinent stakeholders for review and acceptance. The schedule will be developed with the City’s project completion date in mind and will include and measurable milestones to ensure the project completion date is met and is consistent with the City’s timeline. Below is a summary of work:
 Willdan will conduct regular project progress meetings with the City to report progress, any outstanding issues, and proposed resolutions including updating the City with status reports regarding other agency(s) having jurisdiction with this project. Meeting minutes with action items will be provided.
 Willdan will coordinate with City and pertinent stakeholders to schedule the review of project deliverables.
 Willdan will coordinate with the City and pertinent stakeholders to schedule the required meetings with regulatory agencies for deliverables review and approval  Willdan will complete all required revisions and obtain approval from the City and regulatory agencies for the project deliverables.

Quality Assurance and Control Procedures - Quality assurance and control procedures are critical to ensuring sound technical practices are in place and quality deliverables are produced. Willdan operates daily under a company-wide Quality Assurance/Control Program.

12 Scope of Work
Willdan acknowledges and understands the scope of work and deliverables presented in the City’s request for proposal. The scope of services below provides additional information related for the implementation of the project.

Preliminary Design
Kick-Off Meeting. Upon receiving the notice to proceed from the City, Willdan will prepare a project schedule based on the scope of work presented in the proposal. The schedule will be submitted to the City for review and acceptance. If other items come up after the original schedule was accepted, Willdan will revise/update the schedule to meet the City’s timeframe. Willdan will participate in a kick-off meeting to include the decision-makers from the City and other agencies such as gas and electrical and other agencies that become known to us resulting from our research. The meeting will be used to discuss project scope and schedule including design goals and criteria, roles and responsibilities, work program, budgeting, utility coordination, plan and specifications preparation, cost estimate, submittal reviews, and anticipated construction issues.

Topographic Survey, Field Review, Research and Data Gathering. Willdan will conduct a field investigation to verify existing topographic conditions and identify unusual or special conditions and review available improvement plans, utility plans, and data records within the project area. A topographic survey will be performed to document current conditions such as existing grades, surface culture and any other existing items/structures, along with assisting with designing/placement of the renovations/improvements.

As part of our field review, research and data gathering, Willdan would like to arrange a meeting with the City's maintenance facilities managers and/or supervisor to obtain as much detailed information as possible regarding the proposed improvements (e.g., drainage, hardscape, circulation, irrigation, plant material, etc.). This input will provide specific recommendations pertaining to the improvements for the purposes of maximizing the budgets. Additionally, the purpose of the meeting is to get first-hand knowledge about the existing irrigation system and discuss proposed modifications to accommodate the new landscaping. Furthermore, this field review will also identify potential design constraints and conflicts and observe general site conditions.

Geotechnical Investigation. Willdan will review the available subsurface data or published geologic and geotechnical maps and documents to determine general subsurface conditions at the project site; and determine the most appropriate locations for borings. The proposed field investigation will include site reconnaissance and subsurface exploration. Geotechnical laboratory testing will be performed on representative samples of soil to evaluate the engineering characteristics of these materials. This information will be valuable in determining the subsurface drainage as well as the footing design for the structural design of the shade shelter and community stage, general paving installations, bioswales and water quality management, thus managing the construction costs at the beginning. Known clearance of subsurface utilities from Underground Service Alert will be obtained prior to commencement of field exploration.

Utilities. Willdan will conduct a utilities investigation (i.e., water, sewer, gas, electrical, cable, telephone, stormwater) of known utilities within and near the project improvements. The investigation will identify any potential or conflicting issues that can have a significant impact on the project. By knowing this information at the beginning stage, the limits and constraints can be planned accordingly.

City of Cudahy
13 Willdan will review and present specific requirements for utility facilities including protection, relocation, right-of-way, and construction methods within the vicinity of the utility.

Utility information will be requested from each utility company that has facilities within the limits of the project. This information will be incorporated into the design plans and plotted per the atlases provided by each utility company. Willdan will forward plans to the utility companies requesting verification. At this time, any potential utility conflicts will be identified and presented to the City for discussion and proposed solutions. (Note: Willdan will provide a fee proposal for design services for utility relocation, if required.) A review of the utility information will be performed to determine the impact of the project on the various utilities and any required potholing by utility companies will be coordinated.

Environmental. Willdan will review the environmental documents to determine whether there are any mitigation measures that are required to be fulfilled in the design of the proposed improvements.

Said mitigation measures will be incorporated into the design of the park and associated park improvements.

Design Development Plan and Preliminary Opinion of Probable Costs. Following the survey, research, site data gathering and base mapping, Willdan will prepare a design development plan based on the descriptions of improvements presented in the City-furnished schematic plan. The design development plan will address in further detail an understanding of the spatial requirements and relationship for the renovation improvements including circulation functions, landscape and irrigation, utility infrastructure, shade shelter and community stage architecture, electrical engineering, and grading and drainage systems.
