The City shall not, in any way, be liable or responsible for the disclosure of any trade secret including, without limitation, those records so marked if disclosure is deemed to be required by law or by order of the Court.

6.14. Conflict of Interest. Consultant and its officers, employees, associates and subconsultants, if any, will comply with all conflict of interest statutes of the State of California applicable to Consultant's services under this agreement, including, but not limited to, the Political Reform Act (Government Code Sections 81000, et seq.) and Government Code Section 1090. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant and its officers, employees, associates and subconsultants shall not, without the prior written approval of the City Representative, perform work for another person or entity for whom Consultant is not currently performing work that would require Consultant or one of its officers, employees, associates or subconsultants to abstain from a decision under this Agreement pursuant to a conflict of interest statute.

Fullerton Community Center | Fullerton, CA (RJM Project) City of Fullerton • On-Call Landscape Architect Services | 5 City of Fullerton • On-Call Landscape Architect Services | 4 RJM Design Group offers landscape architectural and design services, specializing in parks and recreation and other public facilities. At RJM, we are nearing our 36th year of professional experience in working with counties, cities, and other public sectors. RJM’s mission is to assist communities in the planning and design of environments that enhance the quality of life for all. Our goal is to implement the vision of the clients and the communities we serve by designing creative, functional, and fun Community Inspired Spaces.

RJM Design Group is proud to be celebrating our 34th year in business. The key to our stability and success are our many clients with whom we have developed long-term relationships. Throughout the years, we have had the good fortune to be selected as a pre-qualified “On Call” consultant to numerous counties, cities and agencies. These include the cities of Mission Viejo (28 years), Long Beach (25 years), Chino Hills (18 years), Aliso Viejo (15 years), Lake Forest (12 years), Los Angeles Public Works (12 years), Huntington Beach (10 years), San Dimas (10 years), Ontario (9 years), Port of San Diego (9 years), County of Los Angeles (9 years), Newport Beach (6 years), and Whittier (6 years).

Through this experience we strive to:
• Work closely with our client to develop a clear understanding of project goals • Develop a comprehensive scope and fee summary with the necessary specialty consultants • Develop a project schedule that identifies all important project milestones (plan submittals, review periods, public presentations, other agency interactions/review, approvals, etc.) • Exceed your expectations in providing comprehensive and well-coordinated design services Qualifications, Related Experience, & References

QUALITY ASSURANCE
The success of RJM Design Group can best be measured by our numerous long-term relationships with our valued clients. In order to foster these relationships, our goal is to produce a high-quality product in the most effective manner possible by utilizing our proven QA/QC procedures.

Our Quality Assurance Program is process-oriented and begins with experienced staff along with our firm’s commitment to ongoing education. Our experience is based on hundreds of successful projects and gratified clients. Our staff is encouraged to continually pursue expanding their current knowledge base in order to allow us to be at the forefront of our industry. Continuing education is pursued in the following areas:

AIA – American Institute of Architects
Arborist Certification
ASLA - American Society of Landscape Architects
CPSI – Certified Playground Safety Inspector
LEED – Sustainable Practices
PSMJ – Project Management
QSP & QSD – Qualified SWPPP Practitioner and Developer
STMA - Sports Turf Managers Association
In addition to our well-educated and seasoned professionals is our thorough understanding of the project development process. This allows us to share information with our consultant team and clients so that our projects evolve in a proactive and well-orchestrated manner. Communication among staff, team members and client include the following project parameters:

Project Goals – clearly identified.

Program Needs – confirmed with the client.

Schedule – a project schedule is established at the onset which outlines the process evolution, major milestones, submittal dates, reviews, approvals, bid, construction, project opening, one- year follow up/review.

Budget – understanding the budget is critical to a project’s success. The project budget is clarified (client staff, consultant fees, entitlement costs, construction costs, etc.) versus construction budget.

Construction Estimates – RJM maintains an extensive library of unit costs that are acquired through our numerous public bids, as well as from specialty consultants and independent cost estimators. This allows our preliminary opinion of probable construction costs to accurately reflect the anticipated contractors’ bids.

Our office environment is an open studio that allows for continual sharing of ideas and collaboration between our experienced principals, project managers, and staff members. We believe that this interaction promotes effective communication that is vitally important to the success of every project.

Team meetings are scheduled at regular intervals to ensure that accurate communication on key project aspects is shared and understood. Other methods of project communiation include email, telephone/conference calls, in-person meetings, and video-conferencing, as appropriate.

Noteworthy to RJM and unique when compared to other firms, is that the same design team, individual staff members responsible for all preliminary design phases, will continue on and retain responsibility for the preparation of the final construction documents. We believe that this approach allows for a more consistent and accurate method of ensuring that all of those special details discussed in the design phase are carried throughout the final construction document process. This method is fundamental for maintaining quality assurance, limiting change orders, and effectively controlling construction costs.

The continual monitoring of project evolution provides the ability to confirm that appropriate progress is being made on an ongoing basis. This review is instrumental in confirming that project goals, program needs, schedules and budgets are as intended and that unforeseen changes, “curve balls”, do not occur inappropriately.

QUALITY CONTROL PLAN
Our open office “bullpen” setting is especially conducive to regular milestone reviews and monitoring of a project. This review plays a central role in our quality control effort. The importance of plan review, checking, and cross-checking cannot be overemphasized, given the complexity and time constraints under which construction documents are often produced. Our review benchmarks include:
• Documents are comprehensively checked at key milestones and regular intervals. • One person checks all important dimensions, gradients and utility infrastructure. • The person responsible for the drawings reviews the specifications, and the specifier reviews the drawings.
• Regular consultant team meetings are held to review the documents produced by each for coordination (utility, civil, electrical, etc.)
• The Principal Landscape Architect will be ultimately responsible for all work produced under his or her direction. A constant review process is implemented in all phases of the work.

The Client is involved in reviewing plans at regular intervals and approving the construction documents before they are issued for bid.

Another integral component in our quality control process is the utilization of our “RJM lessons learned checklist. ” This checklist contains the learning experiences that we have encountered over 34 years of project development. It is a useful tool that allows us to systematically review our work and that of our consultant team to ensure that we are applying the collaborative experience learned to the benefit of our projects.

In addition to our in-house quality control efforts, we are also continually learning and applying the ongoing “lessons learned” from our outside plan check services provided to multiple agencies. This methodical approach to outside projects gives us the unique advantage of reviewing our own plans and specifications with an impartiality that allows for a fresh and unbiased evaluation.

COMMUNICATIONS APPROACH
An assigned Project Manager from RJM Design Group for the specific project will be the main point of contact with the City for the life of the project. RJM Design group will act as the project lead and main coordinator for all project deliverables. All communications from sub consultants will be conducted through RJM Design Group.

1. Consultants can participate in online virtual meetings via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or other video conferencing applications. Meetings to be held at regular intervals during the early phases of the project and continue on an as-needed basis thereafter to assess progress and provide direction throughout the performance of the services and preparation of the project deliverables.

2. RJM will prepare all meeting agendas for identified scheduled meetings with the City and provide a summary of key issues with action items (meeting notes) discussed at each meeting.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATION
Keeping our community services running faces significant challenges today. Develop your communications plan with easy-to-deploy tools that enable a two-way dialogue with your community. With the following tools at your disposal you can successfully implement your communications plan. Whether you are prioritizing reopening of community facilities or developing new projects these tools will help bring the community together in a safe virtual environment.

Public Communications Portal: Develop a single point of connection for your community to weigh in on issues, share feedback, and discover resources with dynamic mapping, infographics, videos, and surveys. Build a controlled dialogue with your community to keep them informed and solicit information necessary for the success of any project.

Virtual Town Hall Meetings: Expand your outreach through a series of pre-recorded and live meetings online. Share updates, project news, timelines, and even build consensus with direct live online polling. Virtual town hall meetings are an easy way to keep your community informed through existing social media platforms supplemented with RJM’s live broadcast and polling resources.

Virtual Facility Tours: Not every site is accessible to the public. To accurately convey a sense of place and truly inform participants of the potential opportunities whether it be a new project site tour, a grand opening, or construction updates. Incorporating 360 videos and photos can bring a new environment to anyone anywhere.

Live Online Polling: Today everyone is busy. Community meetings do not often fit in our schedules.

Weather it is youth sports, late work schedules, national sports, elections, or even national stay at home directives, LIVE polling enables everyone to take part from their smart phone or PC and share their ideas. Participants can vote LIVE creating a community consensus in real time.

Mapping Community Needs: Not just any simple Q&A internet survey. RJM employs specific ESRI survey tools to create in depth surveys where participants can answer questions in new and innovative ways. The results are geolocated and mapped to identify where specific needs are in the community. Infographics are developed to share results back with the community. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive community outreach process that maintains the vision and expectations of those using the park now and in the future.

The trail provides for a continuous 12’ wide multi-purpose trail of decomposed granite. This trail accommodates equestrians, bikers, and hikers and meanders along the lake edge amongst existing and newly planted trees.

At the completion of the site analysis, tree inventory, and the trail alignment plan, a Habitat Creation Plan was prepared. This plan acknowledges the existing trees to remain on-site, as well as identifies the “long-term” tree replacement plan to achieve an eventual palette of native habitat creating trees.

The project is currently being installed on an incremental basis as funds become available.

Project Summary
West Coyote Hills is over 500 acres in size and is owned by Pacific Coast Homes. It includes vacant oil field land, representing one of the last remaining development opportunities in the City of Fullerton and contiguous open space swaths in Orange County. It’s existing network of defunct oil field roads and interesting topography provides a roadmap of highly anticipated future, multi-use, recreating trails that complement the proposed housing development and master planned community.

The Initial Trails makes up the eastern portion of the overall trail system within West Coyote Hills, bordering Euclid Ave. to the east, the Nora Kuttner Trail to the south, and sits within the Robert E. Ward Nature Preserve.

It traverses hundreds of acres of willow scrub, southern cactus scrub, and coastal sage scrub, with vast topographic change, and extensive views. At the highest elevations, vista points offer stunning views of the ocean, basin, and surrounding mountains. On a clear day, the views sweeps from Catalina Island towards the west, Mount San Antonio (Baldy) to the north, and the Chino Hills and Santa Ana Mountains to the east. The initial trails system allows for pedestrian walking and hiking only, while cyclists and equestrians are allowed outside of the Preserve limits. Throughout the two miles of initial trails, interpretative signage and mixed media capture the life histories of local plants and wildlife. They also celebrate stories about the land and people that once inhabited the space. Bench seating and lodge pole fencing provide the framework of this highly prized natural wonder, allowing community members to finally enjoy West Coyote Hills open space.

RJM redeveloped the Circle Area that is centrally located in the epicenter of Long Beach. It circulates traffic four ways and adjoins two highways together – 19 and PCH. The main objective for this site was to replace an existing turf-filled round-a-bout into an iconic focal point that celebrates the City of Long Beach and showcases its brand to the community.

RJM executed a vision by strategically placing four monumental towers throughout the center that occur at the terminus of each of the four streets that unite as one. These towers are also light fixtures that provide an ambience and a clear direction for the safety of drivers at night.

With water conservation and low maintenance top of mind, we eliminated turf and added new surfaces such as rock cobble and decomposed granite. The new planting areas are designed to have drought tolerant plants that will be low maintenance and long-lasting. In addition, the project has been designed to retain storm water and promote ground water recharge.

RJM developed conceptual designs for the City of Long Beach for the Downtown 1st Street Pedestrian Gallery. It is located between Pacific Avenue and Elm Avenue and will provide a link between City Hall, Lincoln Park/Library, Metro Transit Gallery, and East Village Arts District. The project is a priority for the City to enhance visual aesthetics to encourage new retail/commercial activity and improve the pedestrian experience. A major component of the plan is the reuse of the first Metro Blue Line car to attract a vendor to promote the area as a destination.

Streetscape treatment upgrades create a festive and protected environment for increased foot traffic with expanded decorative concrete sidewalk space, consistent family of streetlights, pedestrian lights, and street furniture (seating, pots, trash/recycle containers), palm and flowering street trees for scale and continuity, and public art. Decorative asphalt coating will provide the opportunity to close the street and create a flexible venue for community events. Curb extensions (bulb outs) provide road diet to reduce the speed of cars and create safe pedestrian crossing and provide opportunity to incorporate water quality basins. The pedestrian gallery will provide a seamless connection between the East Village Arts District to the rest of downtown and will be a catalyst for the revitalization of the area.

The I-15 Branding and Visioning Master Plan presented ideas to enhance image along the I-15 corridor through Temecula Valley through public art and landscape treatments. Themes along sections of the corridor and at the major interchanges reflect rich culture and history of the Valley to include 1) Pechanga Native American culture; 2) Temecula Old Town; 3) Temecula Wine Country; and 4) Temecula Lifestyle.

The interchange is the southern gateway to the City of Temecula, but I the main regional access to the Pechanga Resort and Casino. Concept for the interchange conveys the culture of the Pechanga tribe through sculpture art. Three different objects that hold a significance to the Pechanga people are represented pottery vase, basketry and acorns, an important food source in the area. A representation of the basketry pattern is conveyed in hardscape on the inside slope of the interchange. The landscape will include native plant found locally in the area. A partnership between the City, Pechanga and Caltrans was developed to implement this first component of the master plan and will be a model to follow for the other future improvement along the corridor.

Orange County’s newest community, Rancho Mission Viejo, is located off Ortega Highway in South Orange County. It is home to a master planned 30 acre sports park unlike any other. Nestled in a natural rolling southern California landscape setting the environmental design of Esencia Sports Park is modeled after ranch industrialized facilities with board form buildings, steel I-beam shade structures, lighting, and landscape.

This rustic sports park offers both private and public amenities including: two (2) baseball fields, one (1) softball field, custom designed restroom and concessions building, one (1) synthetic multi-use field, one (1) playground, two (2) dedicated tennis and eight (8) dedicated pickle ball courts, and parking. Additional passive support amenities include hiking trails, exercise stations, and picnicing.

The sports park also offers community aquatic facilities overlooking the park complete with restrooms, a splash pad, lap swim lanes, open recreational swimming, as well as BBQ and cabana lounge areas. The site itself was designed to eliminate the need for expensive retaining walls while maximizing the buildable area through terraced pads and elevated concourses. The resulting design created hillside terraced seating, and elevated concessions allowing for maximum spectator viewing opportunities in a cost effective manner.

The new Esencia Sports Park is designed to fulfill much of the recreational needs identified for this new community.

The Bell Gardens Aquatic Center located in Ford Park was built in 1959 and was forced to shut down in 2017 due to failing infrastructure, several maintenance issues and non-compliance to new building codes.

The City of Bell Gardens solicited architectural design teams to renovate the facility and bring up to code.

RJM and their host of selected consultants won the project and are currently in the process of turning this facility into a state-of-the-art aquatic center.

New programming includes new pool house, recreational and competitive swim programs, water fitness, water safety as well as learning and education. Site amenities include a 50-meter competition pool, therapy pool and waterslide. Other amenities include cabana areas, picnic areas, terraced lawn space, trees for shade, outdoor fireplace and seating areas, spectator seating, covered dry land training areas, new landscape and perimeter fencing are also included.

Along with these improvements the aquatic area has more than doubled in size to cater to all the needs for the Community of Bell Gardens.

RJM’s task for OCPW as directed by the Orange County Supervisors is to study the upper pad portion of the Gypsum Canyon property owned by Orange County Cemetery District and to provide site grading, earthworks, utility connections and infrastructure for the development of a future Veteran’s Cemetery. The development of the public cemetery on the lower portion of the site will include improvements that are designed to support a similar sized Veteran’s cemetery on the upper portion.

Although the anticipated construction timeline for the upper portion is likely to occur after the site entry improvements and the OCCD phase 1 improvements have been completed, mass grading and remedial slope buttress improvements that bisect the property as expected to be performed in advance. RJM’s responsibilities include coordination / meetings, investigation, community outreach, conceptual design and cost estimating services to provide initial design services that clearly identify the State Veteran’s site area and site access and infrastructure requirements to serve that area.
