WHEREAS, the City’s future disposition of LRPMP Future Development-designated real property Sites are not subject to review by the CWOB or DOF; and WHEREAS, the City’s responsibilities related to the disposition of the Future Development Sites includes, but are not limited to, acceptance of the transfer, management and oversight of escrow services, review of title reports, clearing-up of exceptions to title, resolving outstanding real property tax matters with the County, preparing, filing and recording appropriate documents related to the transfer of title or as may be reasonably required by the buyer or the title company, notary services, processing compensation agreements (or notices of compensation when property is sold for not less than market values) in the future for the purpose of proportionally dividing the net proceeds of sale among the affected taxing entities (which is anticipated to occur after the ultimate future sale of an LRPMP Property to third-party entities), management and accounting of the net proceeds of sale, including the payments to the Tulare County Auditor Controller and other related matters that are prerequisites to the close of escrow; and
WHEREAS, in addition, DOF has consistently confirmed: i) its expectation that the successor agencies transfer all of their remaining real property assets that are designated for “Future Development” within their LRPMPs to the entity that created their former and now dissolved redevelopment agencies; and ii) that a HSC § 34180 (f) (1) “Compensation Agreement” (or similar instrument) between the City and the taxing entities (as such taxing entities are defined in HSC § 34171 [k]) is not required as a prerequisite to the transfer of such real property assets to the City, as such agreement(s) may follow at a future time (the “DOF Confirmations); and
WHEREAS, consistent with the City’s LRPMP Obligations and DOF’s confirmations, the Successor Agency may transfer its remaining real property assets that are designated for “Future Development” within the LRPMP to the City, which are more particularly described within Exhibit “A” to this Resolution, and that the City may process Compensation Agreements (or -3-

City Council Staff Report
Department: CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE September 13, 2022
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Daniel James, Assistant City Manager
Subject: Award a Professional Services Contract to RRM Design Group for the City Hall & Civic Square Conceptual Plan. (DJ)
RECOMMENDATION
Council award a Professional Services Contract to RRM Design Group for the City Hall & Civic Square Conceptual Plan in an amount not to exceed $250,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was published in January of this year to seek proposals from qualified architectural design firms for the design of a new City Hall and Civic Square in the Downtown. Four proposals were received and RRM Design Group was selected as the most qualified firm. Staff recommends Council award a Professional Services Contract to RRM Design Group for the City Hall & Civic Square Conceptual Plan.
OUTSTANDING ISSUES
None.
DISCUSSION
Downtown revitalization and beautification has been a focus of the City Council and staff for many and years. In 2018, the City contracted with the Cal Poly Urban Planning and Regional Design Program to develop a set of conceptual designs and development strategies which identified opportunities for enhancements in the Downtown. A major component of these strategies is the future relocation of City Hall and the development of a Civic Square into the Downtown area.
The next step in the process for planning for a new City Hall and Civic Square in the Downtown is to develop a conceptual design. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was published in January of this year to seek proposals from qualified architectural design firms for the design of a new City Hall and Civic Square in the Downtown. Four proposals were received and RRM Design Group was selected as the most qualified firm. RRM Design Group's proposal is attached herein as 'Attachment A.'
RRM Design Group proposes to analyze potential sites for a future City Hall and Civic Square near the intersection of L St. and Fresno St. The RRM team will also work closely with staff and City Council to review possible uses of the Civic Square, as well as various city functions which may be located in the new City Hall. The firm will prepare a series of design alternatives for the proposed Civic Square and City Hall, and a final preferred conceptual plan which will be used to design future construction plans.
RRM Design Group has a proven track record in Dinuba and for communities throughout the State. The firm has received several Planning and Design awards and has a dedicated team of planners and architects which staff feels are well-suited to prepare a quality conceptual design for the future Civic Square and City Hall, which will both enhance the character of the Downtown, and which the community will be proud. Staff recommends Council award a Professional Services Contract to RRM Design Group for the City Hall & Civic Square Conceptual Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff is working with RRM Design Group to amend the task list related to this project. However, costs are not expected to exceed $250,000, and the project will be funded with a combination of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and General Plan funds.
PUBLIC HEARING
None.

CITY HALL & CIVIC SQUARE CONCEPTUAL PLAN
RE: City Hall & Civic Square Conceptual Plan - PLANNING AND
ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
Dear Mr. James,
A vibrant downtown center provides a sense of place that can be the civic heart and soul of the community. As is the case with many communities in California and across the country, Dinuba has seen the allure of its downtown diminish as convenience retailers are established in more peripheral locations of the city and empty storefronts appear. The goal to build a new city hall in the central core is the right choice to breathe new life and excitement into Dinuba’s downtown. Beyond housing new government services in a modern, customized structure, the city hall with adjacent plaza areas for public gathering spaces can be the catalyst for attracting other businesses to the area. The historic land use model of retail spaces on the ground floor and office and residential uses on upper floors has become a modern mixed-use land use formula to create a more vital downtown core. Projects like the new civic center can encourage this type of mixed-use project development nearby.
RRM views the project as a key for revitalization of the civic center area. The project deliverables will capture a realistic vision to transform the city-owned downtown lots into a vibrant center and public gathering place, but also establish a road map to establish a district that will benefit the long-term wellbeing of the community. Exciting opportunities exist to improve and integrate mixed-use, commercial, and residential uses and create a synergy that will ultimately result in an inviting community asset. To make this happen, innovative design and redevelopment strategies are needed that will help attract new businesses, investments, and creative project applications from the development community. The key goals of the project are to increase the economic viability of the downtown and to improve the quality of life for the residents and visitors of the City of Dinuba.
This type of project is not only in RRM’s wheelhouse, but one that we are passionate about.
Prior to proposing, we strive to make sure prospective projects result in a “win-win” for both the City and for RRM, so we are certain that your investment of time in reviewing our materials is well worth it. We are pleased to present our qualifications, approach, and proposal to provide site planning and architectural design services to help the City formulate a vision and market-based objectives for the creation of the civic center and its revitalization impacts on proximate sites in the downtown area.
Over 45 years and thousands of projects under our belt, and it all comes down to four words:
Creating environments people enjoy®. These words define who we are and what we do. As a multidisciplinary planning and architectural design firm, RRM’s architects, planners, landscape architects, and engineers have worked extensively with both public and private sector clients. Our range of design expertise gives us a broad project portfolio including residential, commercial, mixed-use, hospitality, and civic projects that include new construction and infill redevelopment.

This experience on the private side of the development process gives RRM a unique understanding of realistic design recommendations that produces results and provides a solid understanding of property owner issues, maintenance concerns, development feasibility, and the real cost of public and private improvements and construction. Our knowledge and expertise creating plazas, design guidelines, master plans, zoning regulations, specific plans, and streetscapes gives us an understanding of the key elements needed to help foster character and community through interpretation of city policy documents. We also bring to Dinuba our experience designing city halls and other public use facilities Our experience on both sides of the counter gives us unique insight to not only achieve the City’s goals and vision, but also an understanding of developer and market driven demands that yields implementable solutions. We do it with impeccable attention to detail; on time, on budget, and sensitive to community values and political issues.
We are excited about this project and the prospect to bring our experiences, resources, and lessons learned from other communities to help you, City staff, civic leaders, and citizens achieve their goals. We are ready to dedicate the time and resources to carry out the proposed work in a responsive manner.
We look forward to the opportunity to discuss our proposal with you and would be honored to work with the City on this important project. Should you have any questions about our team, our qualifications, or our interest in your project, please do not hesitate to give me a call at (805) 543-1794.

SECTION 2 | Experience and Project Examples | SOQ FOR City Hall & Civic Square Conce ptual Plan 10 The City of Ripon retained RRM Design Group to expand
its existing combination City Hall/Police Department
headquarters to accommodate unprecedented growth
needs by various City administrative departments. Of
special importance was the desire of the City to create a dynamic, functional and flexible Council Chambers. RRM
provided programming through construction administration for this new City Hall complex with an added state-of-theart EOC and dispatch center. RRM designed the new City Council Chamber to accommodate 100 seats, plus room
to expand meetings into the adjacent lobby and even to
the exterior of the building through a series of window curtain walls, television monitors, projection screens and speakers. The Council Chambers was designed with a
focus on security, privacy and ease of information sharing.
RRM custom designed the dais for the council members to include electronic voting, recessed monitors, microphones and ergonometric countertops and chairs. RRM's design of the expansion also makes extensive use of green building products and systems. The resultant design has created a new icon building for the City of Ripon.

SECTION 2 | Experience and Project Examples | SOQ FOR City Hall & Civic Square Conce ptual Plan 11 RRM Design Group created the technologically advanced
40,000 sf public safety center to replace the City of Paso Robles’ antiquated fire and police stations with one building capable of accommodating both departments. The facility includes mission critical systems and essential equipment.
The fire station includes living quarters for fire personnel, heavy and light apparatus bays, ample storage for suppression equipment and supplies, and fire administration offices. On the law enforcement side, the facility includes a full substation, sally port, detention facility with evidence booking, processing and warehousing. The public safety center combined the fire and police command and administration offices, and includes a detached building, which was designed to a higher essential services standard due to the proximity to seismic fault lines.
The EOC was designed accommodate all City departments
during an activation, It is also used as a training classroom by public safety personnel as well as City staff.

The City hired RRM to assist with planning for the future City Hall. The City was looking for innovative thinking and strong consensus-building skills. RRM is working closely with City staff to develop and execute a process to maximize return on the public’s investment and achieve the project’s objectives.
Through the process, RRM helped the City identify redefined existing space and areas of expansion for both the City offices and the library. RRM has provided layouts for both the office and library space that include various levels of privacy and collaborative areas.
RRM is working with the City to coordinate required
adjacencies and public connectivities to the facility and is providing budgetary targets. RRM has collaborated with
multiple departments within the City to reach consensus upon an agreeable approach and layout.

MISSION PLAZA
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA
NOTABLE INFO & STATS:
Client: City of San Luis Obispo
RRM SERVICES PROVIDED:
Landscape Architecture, Architecture,
Planning, Engineering, Surveying
San Luis Obispo’s most cherished and beloved civic space – Mission Plaza – was in dire need of renovation to address a number of issues, including an increasing demand for
special events, ongoing maintenance and infrastructure
deterioration, and safety due to its popularity as a hang-out for a growing transient population. The City retained RRM Design Group to reimagine Mission Plaza in conjunction
with the larger Downtown Concept Planning process. After a robust and exhaustive outreach program, the final design features multiple gathering areas for large and small events, a stage, a new café intended to activate an underutilized part of the plaza, and an interactive sculpture garden that engages with the Museum of Art that shares the site. Inspired by the creek that runs adjacent, the primary forms of the plaza are a series of concentric circles reminiscent of water droplets – a subtle acknowledgment of the site’s place intersecting urban development and nature.

Architecture
RRM was retained by the City of Los Altos to craft a
20-year Vision Plan for the 76-acre downtown area,
bound by Edith Avenue, San Antonio Road, and the
Foothill Expressway. Through a robust outreach process
that included unique, targeted outreach events and a
variety of online engagement, a community-based vision
plan was crafted that maintains the history, values, and desired intensity of development, while also allowing
for incremental change that builds upon the exceptional character and qualities of Los Altos. The plan envisions a series of public spaces, office, residential, and
commercial uses. This fulfills the community vision for the downtown area while also incorporating a phasing
action plan that identifies short-, mid-, and long-term implementation items to guide City’s efforts.

“The Vision for Downtown Los Altos that
you and your team at RRM developed is
taking root and generating some interest

- City of Ojai
Through a highly public process, RRM Design Group
prepared the Master Plan, design guidelines, and construction documents for the new Ojai Arcade Plaza and its surrounding urban area. Significant improvements and redesigns were necessary to rejuvenate the aging park-like plaza in the heart of Ojai and to help turn it into a vibrant downtown area. The plan revitalized this plaza area by including entry monuments, urban design fixtures, a central water feature, public art, new paving (with etched design work), bronze leaves (inlaid in paving and placed on benches), an information wall kiosk, a trash enclosure, restrooms and architectural enhancement of the surrounding buildings. RRM also collaborated with artists to creatively integrate art into the plaza design.
“This was a successful process that brought
the community together to create a
welcoming environment attracting shoppers
and pedestrians and revitalizing a once
underutilized public space in the heart of our
downtown.” --------

The City of Newman was awarded a California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Grant to update the 1996 Newman Highway 33 Specific Plan document. The Specific Plan document acts as a planning tool to guide future development along the Highway 33 corridor for the next 20 years. The update effort addresses land use and City growth patterns, and focused on pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular transportation improvements.
These improvements address transit needs, safety and lighting issues, intersections, as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The project included an on-line survey, website, community workshops, and stakeholder meetings. The online survey
included both a questionnaire and an interactive mapping exercise where participants identified problem areas on a map and were able to leave notes and comments on the map.

HALL MASTER PLAN
MORRO BAY, CA
The City of Morro Bay hired RRM to review their existing police headquarters and prepare a program for a new police station facility to meet their needs. RRM provided space needs outlines, component diagrams, and an overall site analysis for the City of Morro Bay to pursue a new police station that meets community needs.
The City had previously retained RRM to prepare a master plan and conceptual site design for the Morro Bay Civic Center. The Master Plan establishes the phased development of a 46,000 sf Civic Center occupying two city blocks with a new City Hall, a new Fire Department headquarters
building, a new Police Department headquarters building, spaces for San Luis Obispo County Administrative and Social Services, and an existing public library. The project process included the development of the space needs of each City department through surveys and key personnel interviews.
The resulting building programs were then tested against benchmark buildings for similar sized communities, ensuring that the City’s program represented the minimum space
necessary to meet the future needs of all City departments.
RRM analyzed the opportunities, costs, and potential for the new Civic Center to be LEED certified by the U.S. Green Building Council, including a plan to sustainably remove and dispose of the existing using salvage and recycling of used building materials. The project has become a unifying element for downtown Morro Bay and serves as a showcase for
sustainable building.

AWARDS & RECOGNITION:
Planning Achievement Award: Hard

Association (APA), California Chapter,
Orange County Section, 2012
The Town Center Specific Plan was developed as a result of significant public dissatisfaction which culminated in 2006, and resulted in the City Council’s rescinding an
approved development plan, passing a citizen’s “right-tovote” referendum on development issues, unseating the City Council majority, and a change in several senior management staff positions. RRM Design Group led months of public
meetings, workshops, study sessions and public hearings while developing a plan that was ultimately embraced by the community and adopted unanimously by the City Council.
Key features of the Specific Plan for this 30-acre site include retail land use districts, relocation of an existing public library from a prime retail location to the central core of the planning area, inclusion of a public open space, design guidelines based on the existing historic architectural palette and a “tiered-density” approach to allow the Specific Plan to be adopted ahead of the required community-wide vote.

a higher quality built environment without

OUR UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
UNDERSTANDING
The City of Dinuba owns three properties in the downtown core located at the corner of Fresno and L Streets. The project goal is to provide a new location for a state-of-the-art city hall building and to create an adjacent civic square as a gathering spot for local events and celebrations. There are other civic and iconic buildings in the immediate vicinity including the Dinuba Unified School District’s Vocational Education Center, Dinuba Transit Center, Dinuba Chamber of Commerce, and Strand (State) Theatre. This backdrop of other notable civic structures and uses nearby reinforces the logic and synergy of the plan to develop a new city hall on this downtown site. Beyond the confines of improvements to the City’s three properties, the project is viewed as a catalyst that extends beyond to enhance the character and economic vitality of the surrounding area.
The main components of the project are:
1. New City Hall – For many decades, the City of Dinuba has been making do with its existing location at 405 E. El Monte. The building is antiquated and does not provide adequate space for offices, assembly facilities, and other services. In addition, a new facility would benefit from modern space planning principles and technological advantages. The new building is intended to become a City landmark as a modern facility, but also includes architectural elements and detailing that pays tribute to other buildings in the area.
2. Civic Square – Beyond the new city hall itself, is the space surrounding it. The civic square space would be a multi-purpose outdoor space that would provide areas for people to take a break from work, meet for lunch, or just relax and enjoy some fresh air. It is also envisioned as a gathering for larger groups and functions and special community events.
3. Areawide Improvements – As mentioned, the impacts and improvements of the civic square conceptual design goes beyond the physical boundaries of the three City-owned parcels. The project is more holistic in that it looks at urban design components to improve the appearance of the larger downtown area and reinvigorate it economically. These improvements include the following:
a. Active alleyways – L Street is known locally as “Main Street” as it is one of the main thoroughfares through the downtown. L Street includes alleys on both sides that are currently underutilized, but could serve multiple uses for safe pedestrian movement, outdoor dining, and small open spaces.
Through lighting, landscaping, hardscape treatments, public art, and other improvements, alleys could be used as paseos, parklets, and areas that people like to use and linger in, as well as typical service functions as appropriate.
b. Building Facade Improvements – The City is looking for ideas on enhancing existing buildings along “Main Street” between Fresno and Tulare Streets to freshen up and enhance businesses and make them more interesting and inviting.
SECTION 4 | Approach and Scope of Work | SOQ FOR City Hall & Civic Square Conceptual Plan 37 c. Lighting, Landscape, and Hardscape Improvements – The City is looking for guidance on “quality of life” improvements in the project area such as lighting, landscaping, and hardscape installations.
The idea is to create a unified theme with a consistent style of street furniture such as trash and recycling containers, light posts and fixtures, benches, banner supports, bicycle racks, and planters. d. Parking – With the additional development in the area, there will be new demand for parking spaces. RRM will work with City to provide the existing inventory of parking spaces and the need generated by the project and other area improvements.
APPROACH
The following is a summary of RRM’s fundamental approach to the design process. It is presented in a loosely chronological order, although it is usually not quite as linear as this would suggest. Frequently tasks are conducted concurrently, and occasionally we need to circle back to specific tasks – one example of this is the need to reconnect with stakeholders multiple times to reassure them that we are still on the same page.
For the city hall programming process, RRM recommends a more structured approach. This structured approach helps ensure that the process remains on the path and meets the given objectives without being detoured by competing interests.
More than anything through our space planning experience, we’ve learned to understand the concerns, listen for the important issues, collaborate on solutions, build consensus, and implement with precision.
RECONFIRM PROJECT STEPS & CITY PRIORITIES
We do our homework, and spend time talking to staff to understand the lay of the land. This effort will begin with a kickoff meeting and includes becoming familiar with previous work, relevant political considerations, and identification of primary goals and objectives.
OPPORTUNITY AND CONSTRAINT ANALYSIS
Spending time on site is imperative to understanding the nuances and potential ramifications of future design proposals. Key team-members will prepare a detailed photographic inventory and analysis of each site which identifies the opportunities and constraints. This information will provide an essential reference for defining and benchmarking the history and architectural character of the space and their best suitability for various buildings, improvements, and features. This will set the stage for the city hall analysis and concepts.
RESEARCH PRECEDENT PROJECTS
From the preliminary policy research done in step 1, we will review the general plan, landscape design guidelines, and other pertinent policy documents in detail to understand the full scope of how this project fits into the City’s long-range vision. We will also coordinate with City staff to identify the current and future needs for the new city hall building. Based on our experiences with other similar projects statewide, we will work with City staff to include into the conceptual plan alternatives and city hall designs those features and components that have been successful elsewhere.
SECTION 4 | Approach and Scope of Work | SOQ FOR City Hall & Civic Square Conce ptual Plan 38
ENGAGE STAKEHOLDERS
After the City identifies the key stakeholders, we will devise a strategy for creating a productive dialog with them. This may include stakeholder interviews, a community meeting/charrette, and culminate with a City Council study session. Building trust with the community is a key priority – and one that will require more than one touch point.
DESIGN OPTIONS
Based on feedback received from stakeholders and understanding the opportunities and constraints of the sites, we will prepare design alternatives to show different approaches to meeting the City’s goals and objectives for the city hall and civic square plaza. Sometimes it helps to show distinctly different ideas to prompt discussion, and vet various ideas graphically.
PREFERRED CONCEPT
Based on feedback from the community and staff, we distill the civic square and city hall designs into a single, preferred plan. This plan will more than likely represent a hybrid of the design options, featuring the most supported elements as appropriate. We will also have colorful architectural drawings to illustrate how the city hall and the civic square are envisioned.

SECTION 4 | Approach and Scope of Work | SOQ FOR City Hall & Civic Square Conceptual Plan 43
OPTIONAL TASKS
Task O.1: Structural Analysis of Strand
Theater
RRM Structural Engineering will visit the site and
provide an ASCE 41-17 Tier 1 Evaluation to
assess the seismic deficiencies for the building. This
analysis will provide the supporting information to
define the scope of facility renovations as site and
building conceptual layouts are developed.
Structural Assumptions:
• Tier 1 Analysis of the ASCE 41 Seismic
Assessment by a licensed Structural Engineer to
identify conformance to current building codes.
• Note: The ASCE 41 Seismic Assessment is the
standard to identify specific deficiencies and
provide general recommendations.
• This project will utilize ASCE 41-17 for a Tier 1
screening based on the checklists provided in
ASCE 41-17.
• This assumes that the structure is accessible and
capable of being observed at the time of the
field visit. Note that RRM will only perform a
visual assessment at this phase to observe the
existing structural elements. No destructive or
further invasive investigations will be performed
at this phase.
• However, it should be noted that the evaluation
will be more accurate when most of the
structural elements are visible. If finishes cover
up nearly all surfaces, RRM will use the basis of
standard construction for the time period the
structure was built.
• The assessment report will summarize the
structural findings and a written summary of
potential retrofit schemes to address seismic
deficiencies.
• Note that any retrofit and/or replacement
design, including calculations, detailing, and/
or construction documents are not part of
this Tier 1 screening. Should the Client want
to proceed with the retrofit solution, moving
forward to a Tier 2/3 assessment would
considered an additional service once the
retrofit scope of the work is known.
Deliverables:
• Structural analysis and assessment – ASCE 41 Tier 1
Meetings:
• One (1) Facility Tour – Structural Observation
LIMITATIONS OF SCOPE AND EXCLUSIONS
Please note that the tasks to be performed by the RRM
team are limited purely to those outlined above. Substantive changes requested by the Client or changes in the Client’s program or direction that are inconsistent with prior
approvals are subject to additional services fees. Any
additional services that RRM Design Group is asked to
