ABOUT NUVIS
Since 1971, NUVIS has provided a wide range of services from idea generation, community facilitation, and site planning through preliminary design, PS&E, and construction to field observation for a number of public spaces for city, district, county, state and federal agencies; several which have been awarded with industry honors for our clients. Our sustainable design principals integrated into the landscape architecture design solutions has aided in the coveted LEED certification of Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze for a number of projects.
NUVIS’ public spaces have included, but are not limited to public parks, community recreational centers, open space recreation, sports parks, channels and greenways, streetscapes, transportation corridors, parking lots and multi-purpose trails. Due to recent water restriction mandates, NUVIS has been instrumental in aiding various public agencies in modifying existing streetscapes and parks to reduce turf and/or creating design solutions for projects in which sustainable design solutions are a top priority. Our designs are geared toward water conservation and use of renewable resources. Whenever possible, we explore options to incorporate sustainable design principles such as aesthetically appealing low water use/drought tolerant plant material, including options for high efficiency irrigation systems, solar products, and opportunities to capture water run-off through use of a variety of methods and materials.
NUVIS landscape architects, as team integrators, provide a broad knowledge and leadership skills that allow coordination of projects developing a composition (not a single component).
We utilize a multitude of resources, continually merging contemporary design themes with sophisticated land use planning, and an awareness of the traditions of centuries of planning and design. We work closely with agencies in order to meeting current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
On-call/As-needed contracts are not new to NUVIS. NUVIS holds multi-year on-call/as-needed public agency oriented contracts throughout California. In our 50+ years, NUVIS' demonstrated excellence in landscape design and project management is demonstrated in the number of agencies for which NUVIS has secured as-need/on-call contracts and repeat history of contracts. NUVIS has the experience desired by the City of Fullerton to provide the services as anticipated in the RFP .
'LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE: CREATING EXPERIENCES WHICH CONNECT PEOPLE WITH THEIR ENVIRONMENTS, WORLD-WIDE' is the mission statement and design ideology of landscape architecture and site planning guiding the professional services at NUVIS.

Originally formed under Cardoza DiLallo Associates, the name changed in 1984 to Cardoza DiLallo Harrington and finally to NUVIS “nu visions” in 1993. NUVIS is a State of California S Corporation and certified D/MBE, SBE and VSBE.
Brief history or description of NUVIS
Understanding of the Requested Scope of Work
NUVIS' past 50 years of landscape architecture excellence and our review of the RFP dictate our understanding of the anticipated scope of services for this as-needed contract. The City is seeking a highly qualified landscape architecture firm to provide professional services for small and miscellaneous design projects for public spaces. Projects may include capital improvement projects, renovation of parks as well as design for new parks (varying sizes), plan check services, and cost estimating. Additional projects types that are not defined may be included. Regardless of project type, the firm should have an excellent understanding of providing design which conforms to all local, state, and federal requirements including requirements to conform to the American with Disabilities Act.
NUVIS anticipates professional services may include, but are not limited to • Programming and Conceptual Design (including alternatives) • Final PS&E
• Updating/Revising Master Plans:
• Plans, Exhibits, and Reports for Presentations to City Council, Commission, User Groups, Community Groups and Stakeholders (may include surveys and website information) • Plan Check Submittal and Permit Coordination
• Professional Services during Bid and Construction Phases • Community Engagement and Presentations as needed
The initial period of contract is for three years with the option to renew two times, for one year each, for a total of up to five years.
Projects may be awarded simultaneously and it is expected that NUVIS has sufficient in-house or subconsultant capabilities to complete the work within the specified time allocated and as agreed upon at project initiation.
NUVIS' IDEOLOGICAL APPROACH TO SERVICES
NUVIS is a strong proponent of participatory planning and design, believing that the goals and direction of a project should evolve from a process which provides for expression of concerns and values of those involved and affected by the project. We believe that one of the keys to the success of the project is effective and thorough communication between the City and design team to identify and resolve issues, thus allowing the necessary services to proceed quickly and efficiently. We prefer to build a ‘partnering’ relationship with our project team - the client, associated review agencies, community, and subconsultants. 4 Crown Valley Community Park

19 NUVIS is in tune with the aforementioned goals of the City and the community it serves.
Production of preliminary plans and designs, entitlements/permits, construction documents, reports/studies/analysis, and professional services during bid and construction have been the cornerstone of NUVIS’ daily business since 1971. And while many firms host the ability to produce plans, there is something special that separates NUVIS from our competitors. It is our belief that each city is distinctive, and we pay particular attention to socio-demographic composition, lifestyle patterns, behavioral patterns, and characteristic historical, economic, political, and cultural features are the foundation for the design process. We do not assume that successful projects for other cities would necessarily be successful for Huntington Beach, yet at the same time we draw upon successful projects as inspiration to springboard to provide customer-driving design. Drawing upon successes yet pivoting towards specific community needs and site-specific responses to develop community approved projects are hallmarks of NUVIS landscape architecture design.

work plan
Detailed Work Plan
20 This phase centers on information gathering and program definition. A portion of this task is to perform appropriate functions such as project research through a literature search and personal interviewing with regard to applicable regulations, attitudes, and general planning/development concerns. These accumulated materials along with verbal resource communication from various sources enrich the design process.
The NUVIS team shall conduct a pre-design tour of the project area. The goal of the site reconnaissance will be to familiarize ourselves with existing conditions relevant to the goals of City of Fullerton RFQ #4368 On-Call Landscape Architect Services Proposal Valid to: 04.30.2022Proposal Issued: 01.18.2022 The initial step in the preparation of documents would be to meet with the City's designated Project Manager and appropriate inter departmental representatives for the purpose of:
• under standing the expectations anticipated,
• de veloping a clear definition of design criteria and program objectives, and • r efining a detailed project schedule.
We believe the key to the success of a project is effective and thorough communication between the City and design team to identify and resolve issues, thus allowing the necessary services to proceed quickly and efficiently. We understand that our responsibilities include not only answering the questions but facilitating the process by determining which appropriate questions should be asked.
NUVIS approaches projects through practical analysis of the unique conditions associated with the particular location and program criteria. Design solutions are then tailored to the specific situation to ensure maximum effectiveness. Our project management process is predicated upon:
• under standing, articulating, and resolving specific project issues, • es tablishing and following a well-defined design statement, • inno vative, creative analysis and alternative idea generation, • int ensive design team collaboration.
This task includes coordination and interface including, but not limited to, meetings, telephone conversations, memos, faxes, voice mail, and e-mail with stakeholders, applicable governmental agencies’ departments, and project design team. Initially, the meetings establish the guidelines and specific criteria to direct the team's efforts. Thereafter, coordination provides a continuum to receive information, clarify input, inform staff of progress and direction, generate information, and allow the agency the opportunity to review and comment on draft concepts and recommendations. Concerns, needs or alterations are addressed expeditiously, thereby keeping the progress of the work at a maximum. project orientation & management
approach to scope of
services
site reconnaissance and data review
21 the task order. The tour includes City’s Project Manager, subconsultants and appropriate inter departmental representatives. This reconnaissance process may include:
visually identifying: adjacent land uses, landform/topography, soil characteristics, existing flora/fauna, drainage patterns, existing infrastructure, pertinent visual characteristics, environmental conditions, site influences, and view potential/orientation and visual impact (internal and external views); and
evaluating: climate conditions, impact of pedestrian, equestrian, bicycle, and vehicular circulation patterns including site lines, physical opportunities and constraints, and maintenance needs (including elimination of side pruning adjacent to streets).
If necessary, NUVIS will include additional investigative reports and services to evaluate the existing conditions of the project site. A similar approach is taken for conducting facility assessments. Sites reconnaissance assessments are conducted to explore the current state of the landscape and park/facility amenities from a professional landscape architect’s perspective.
Designs should respond to and reflect the Communities’ specific needs. If desired by the City, NUVIS will include community meetings with the goal of receiving input and ultimately, receiving approval by the City.
The key to achieving desired results is to maximize involvement as early in the process as possible. Interested and affected parties want to present input and have a ‘voice’ before decisions are made by others. Involvement by all interested parties is encouraged throughout the design process, with each phase of the process responding to and building upon the input received. Occasionally, ideas presented cannot be incorporated into the design due to program conflicts, budgetary issues, and/or right-of-way or jurisdictional concerns. Through early collaboration, voices can be heard and responded to without simply being dismissed.
NUVIS’ role at community meetings will be to assist the agency in merging ideas and developing pertinent issues into feasible and agreed upon solutions. The goals of each session differ as the process evolves, but the following would be used as general guidelines:
• lis ten and learn,
• seek out the " experts" in specialized areas,
• e xplore the concerns of interested parties,
• ask ques tions
• assis t in mitigating conflicts between interest groups, • giv e recommendations and information, and
• r eceive information.
To assist in guiding the communication, NUVIS will provide handouts and/or develop a PowerPoint presentation as contracted by the City. Information may include agenda, project background information, reduced plans etc. NUVIS may also provide renderings, exhibits and computer generated graphics (Before/Afters) to help convey project information and design intent.
Integral to NUVIS’ preferred design style is serving as facilitator and participant in project- oriented design charrettes, giving each discipline the opportunity to present input regarding their distinctive areas throughout the design process. This integration addresses concerns in an open session in order to create a functional and aesthetic design solution. Ultimately, NUVIS will work with agency to build philosophical consensus on the project. www.nuvis.net [email protected] 714-754-7311
community meetings and presentations
22 Once an alternative is chosen by the agency, this stage involves refining and delineating the alternative into one (1) succinct plan.
A strategy meeting will be held with agency project staff/personnel to review input and establish direction. A draft conceptual plan will be prepared and accompanied by refined thumbnail sketches or illustrative elevations/cross sections supporting the recommendations.
The plan would graphically illustrate the various land use elements and detail the landscape treatment including, but not limited to:
• physical opportunities and limitations.
• impact on pedestrian and vehicular circulation patterns. • visual and physical security measures.
• compliance with MWELO (State Water Ordinance), California Title 24, ADA and other local, state and federal regulations as they apply.
• integration of proposed elements to immediate surroundings. • thematic concepts for site amenities; and
• long term ease of maintenance.
A preliminary Statement of Probable Construction Cost is typically developed to monitor the effect of the design on the budget.
Deliverables may include:
• Preliminary Design Concepts
• Conceptual Sections and Elevations
• Concept Images
• Plant Palette
• Hardscape Palette
City of Fullerton RFQ #4368 On-Call Landscape Architect Services Proposal Valid to: 04.30.2022Proposal Issued: 01.18.2022 At this stage, NUVIS discusses design strategy with staff and responds initially with land use designation alternatives in plan view format. Conceptual ‘tissue’ studies will be prepared illustrating proposed theming ideas including, but not limited to site layout, landscape planting, paving, water feature, signage/monuments, site furniture, and accent elements.

25 NUVIS approaches each project through practical analysis of the unique conditions associated with the location and program criterion. Design solutions are then tailored to the specific situation to ensure maximum effectiveness. Our project management process is predicated upon:
• understanding, articulating and resolving specific project issues. • establishing and following a well-defined design statement. • innovative, creative analysis and alternative idea generation; and • intensive design team collaboration.
A number of management tools will be utilized in progressing the project including graphically presented timeline, regular meetings, and regular progress/project status reports.
Our goals will be to:
• develop an awareness of the project and Agency expectations. • obtain concurrence on a time schedule.
• identify issues before they become problems.
• review appropriately, critical issues.
• maintain communication flow with the city and subconsultants; and • provide technical direction for project requirements and standards.
Regularly scheduled in house meetings will be held with members of the NUVIS team.
Schedules and technical items will be reviewed, and remedial action will be taken as necessary to maintain adherence to an established schedule.
Our process of creating recreation/leisure facilities begins with the development of a program that states the requirements. The goal is to develop a strategic approach, provide alternatives, and develop a solution that integrates existing land use to provide for its optimum utilization.
In today’s economic time, it’s prudent to view the viability of a firm. There are an appropriate and manageable number of contracts open to the size of our corporation. Our design studios are divided into teams to more efficiently handle the workload. Due to the size and volume of our business, NUVIS is constantly looking for new and challenging projects that reflect our firm's capabilities, interests, and marketing strategies. Essentially, we felt it appropriate to put in the time and effort to prepare this response since providing a quality-of-life in the public realm is of great interest to NUVIS.
Our history of providing professional services indicates not only are we able to pivot to meet the needs of our clients, but we maintain appropriate resources to do so. www.nuvis.net [email protected] 714-754-7311

c. Method Of Sharing
If all of the other insurance permits contribution
by equal shares, we will follow this method also.
Under this approach each insurer contributes
equal amounts until it has paid its applicable
limit of insurance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
If any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will contribute
by limits. Under this methoo, each insurer's
share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit
of insurance to the total applicable limits of
insurance of all insurers.
d. Primary And Non-Contributory Insurance If
Required By Written Contract
If you specifically agree in a written contract or
agreement that the insurance afforded to an
insured under this Coverage Part must apply on
a primary basis, or a primary and non
contributory basis. this insurance is primary to
other insurance that is available to such insured
which covers such insured as a named insured,
and we will not share with that other insurance,
provided that:
(1) The "bodily injury'' or "property damage" for
which coverage is sought occurs; and
(2) The "personal and advertising injury" for
which coverage is sought is caused by an
offense that is committed;
subsequent to the signing of that contract or
agreement by you.
5. Premium Audit
a. We will compute all premiums for this Coverage
Part in accordance with our rules and rates.
b. Premium shown in this Coverage Part as
advance premium is a deposit premium only. At
the close of each audit perioo we will compute
the earned premium for that period and send
notice to the first Named Insured. The due date
for audit and retrospective premiums is the date
shown as the due date on the bill. If the sum of
the advance and audit premiums paid for the
policy period is greater than the earned
premium, we will return the excess to the first
Named Insured.
c. The first Named Insured must keep records of
the information we need for premium
computation, and send us copies at such times
as we may request.
6. Representations
By accepting this policy, you agree:
a. The statements in the Declarations are
accurate and complete;
b. Those statements are based upon
representations you made to us; and
c. We have issued this policy in reliance upon
your representations.
The unintentional omission of, or unintentional error
in, any information provided by you which we relied
upon in issuing this policy will not prejudice your
rights under this insurance. However, this provision
does not affect our right to collect additional
premium or to exercise our rights of cancellation or
nonrenewal in accordance with applicable insurance
laws or regulations.
7. Separation Of Insureds
Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance, and
any rights or duties specifically assigned in this
Coverage Part to the first Named Insured, this
insurance applies:
a. As if each Named Insured were the only
Named Insured; and
b. Separately to each insured against whom claim
is made or "suit" is brought.
8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others
To Us
If the insured has rights to recover all or part of any payment we have made under this Coverage Part,
those rights are transferred to us. The insured must
do nothing after loss to impair them. At our request,
the insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights
to us and help us enforce them.
9. When We Do Not Renew
If we decide not to renew this Coverage Part, we will
mail or deliver to the first Named Insured shown in
the Declarations written notice of the nonrenewal
not less than 30 days before the expiration date.
If notice is mailed, proof of mailing will be sufficient proof of notice.
