AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 10/17/2023 AGENDA SECTION: GENERAL BUSINESS

SUBJECT:

Authorization for the City Manager to execute a Utility Easement Agreement with Valley Strong Credit Union; and authorization to offer Grant of Easements for utility purposes to Southern California Edison across the city parking lot property (APN 012-022-011) located adjacent to Valley Strong Credit Union (216 W Eighth Street).

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council, by motion, regarding City parking lot, APN 012-022-011:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Utility
Easement Agreement with Valley Strong Credit Union for the installation of utilities within City parking lot, APN 012-022-011;

2. Authorize the City Manager to sign a Grant of Easement from the City of Hanford to Southern California Edison across City parking lot, APN 012-022-011, for the installation of underground electrical services for the Valley Strong Credit Union project; BACKGROUND:

Valley Strong Credit Union is a new business being established in the downtown district. They are currently in the process of remodeling and making improvements to their building located at 216 W.

Eighth Street. Attached are Location Maps for reference.

As a requirement for property improvements, the owners, Valley Strong Credit Union, must provide separate electrical, sanitary sewer, and water services for the business.

The legal property line between Valley Strong Credit Union, APN 012-022-008 and the City public parking lot, APN 012-022-011, is located along the east wall of the existing building. The building wall is on the property line, and there are no setbacks to allow for utility services to access Valley Strong Credit Union without obtaining an off-site easement.

To accommodate the improvements, an easement across the city public parking lot adjacent to Valley Strong Credit Union is needed for the installation of separate utility services including sanitary sewer, water, and electrical services from Lacey Boulevard to the Valley Strong Credit Union building. Current utility services cross through a separate privately owned building to the north, and will be abandoned with the completion of the project. Attached for Council review is the Valley Strong Utility Plan which shows locations for utility installations under the sidewalk within the city parking lot.

The attached Utility Easement Agreement between Valley Strong Credit Union and the City of Hanford provides the conditions of the Grant of Easement. With Council approval, the City Manager would sign and execute the agreement. With the recording of the document, a Grant of Easement is provided to Valley Strong Credit Union for utility purposes.

Additionally, a Grant of Easement from the City of Hanford to Southern California Edison Company has been prepared and is attached for Council review. The easement includes a strip 7’ wide and 80’ long across the City parking lot, APN 012-022-011, that would be used for the installation of an underground electrical service to the Valley Strong CU building.

Valley Strong Credit Union has committed to making the necessary improvements on the west side of the city parking lot to install utility services, which include reconstructing the sidewalk, planters, and restriping parking stalls between Lacey Boulevard and Eighth Street.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with this project. The costs of utility installation and improvements will be borne by the Grantee, Valley Strong Credit Union.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: That the City Council, by motion, Award a contract to Melton Design Group for the professional architectural and engineering design services for Heroes Park in the amount of $1,044,840 and authorize the City Manager to execute the professional services agreement BACKGROUND:

On September 19, 2021, the City of Hanford was awarded $8.5 Million for the Statewide Park and Development Community Revitalization Program, funded by Proposition 68 from the California State Department of Parks and Recreation for the acquisition and development of Heroes Park. Following a lengthy land acquisition process, the City closed escrow on a 40-acre parcel on June 15, 2023, located on Grangeville Blvd and the future 9th Avenue.

The City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) through the online procurement system, BidNet (see attached RFP). The RFP remained open for eight weeks. Six written proposals were submitted from the following design firms:
• Klassen Corporation
• Hargrove and Associates
• Melton Design Group
• SAFEbuilt
• RRM Design Group
• O'Dell Engineering

Proposal Evaluation Criteria

The proposal evaluation criteria consisted of a two-stage process. The first evaluation consisted in the rating of the written proposals, with the second step being an oral interview. The rating categories and maximum points are detailed in the table below and included within the RFP:

A five-person proposal review panel consisting of three City staff, a third-party Engineer, and a Parks and Recreation Director from a neighboring city scored and ranked the written proposals.

The top three design firms were invited to present their proposals and answer interview questions in person or remotely via Zoom. Twenty minutes were allocated for their presentation and forty minutes for questions. The scoring and ranking of proposals are detailed in the table below:

Based on the scoring totals, the Melton Design Group (MDG) was selected as the firm best-qualified and best-suited to design Heroes Park.

Their team consists of a group of sub- consultants and vendors with experience within the region and are experienced at creating one-of-a- kind destination parks.

PRIMARY ELEMENTS FOR HEROES PARK

1. OUTDOOR AMPHITHEATER – This proposed amphitheater will be designed to house 3,000 – 5,000 people in the audience and have two digital panels on each side of the stage allowing for clear views from all angles.
 Terraced  bench  seating  and  mounded  grass  hills  with picnic tables provide an elevated view of the amphitheater stage.
 The grass hills will be built with on‐grade slides leading to the play area for climbing and sliding.
 Two pre‐fabricated restroom facilities will be located near the amphitheater for easy use.

2. DESTINATION PLAYGROUNDS FOR ALL AGES – When creating destination playgrounds, we focus on creating
designs with relevant local themes.   In this case, the park and the play areas will honor and celebrate the heroes of the Hanford community.  We will meet with the community to identify this theme, then fine tune the design to be meaningful, fun and memorable.
 The playgrounds will include many elements of play, including slides, climbing structures, swings, rope courses and natural play.  Our goal is to make all elements of this park accessible for everyone of all ages and abilities.
 Lead  times  on  materials  and  equipment  are  long.   A  pre‐purchase  agreement  with  vendors  through Sourcewell,  or  other  third‐party  purchasing  groups,  can  allow  us  to  save  on  product  cost  while  also ensuring timely delivery.

3. TOURNAMENT‐READY PICKLEBALL COMPLEX – We’ve designed a pickleball complex for daily recreation and tournament use.  Included are 16 full‐size lighted pickleball courts, along with multiple bleachers and benches for spectators to watch and cheer on the players.

4. ALL‐WHEEL SKATE PARK – We want to make sure this new skate park is inclusive to people of all abilities, so we’ve designed it to be accessible for skateboard, scooter, rollerblade and wheelchair users.  The design will
be 70% street and 30% bowl, including multiple obstacles and an adjacent parking lot for accessible parking.

5. DISC GOLF COURSE – Around the perimeter of the park, we’ve proposed adding an 18‐hole disc golf course.

The course will take you from the park arrival gateways, around the multi‐use natural turf fields and will end near the pickleball complex.

6. PICNIC and SHADE AREAS – There will be shaded picnic areas throughout the park, including the elevated terraces  above  the  play  and  amphitheater  and  on  the  flatter  parts  of  the  site.   These  structures  can  be prefabricated  to  provide  a  more  cost‐effective  installation  process.   These  structures  will  have  consistent theming with the rest of the park and will cover the key play areas until the trees mature.

7. FOOD CONCESSIONS IN GAME AREA – Providing food concessions adjacent to the game area will play a main role in attracting users to the tournament and event facilities, while bringing income to the park.  This social space will allow private operators to rent the restaurant/concession spaces.  Concrete game elements like cornhole and ping‐pong will provide additional entertainment.  Provide event rooms like banquet or reception rooms that have catering kitchen and space for medium to large groups that can be VIP for large concerts or used for weddings or parties.

8. FUTURE  RECREATION  CLUBHOUSE  and  EVENT  ROOMS  –  If  funded, recreation  rooms  can  be  constructed  for  community  classes  and  local events.  can be added to the construction design process as an additional service.

9. PUBLIC ART: BRANDING and MAKING A STATEMENT – After being at the site and seeing your tank
at the cemetery and knowing that Grangeville is
going to be a major connector into town, it makes sense to do something impactful at the arrival corner of the park.

10. MAINTENANCE and OPERATION / 30‐YEAR LIFE‐CYCLE COST ANALYSIS – As a part of the design scope, we are always pushing to build a durable and maintenance‐friendly park.   We will be designing your park with long‐term maintenance in mind and preparing your capital budget for long‐term funding of that maintenance.  Provide  a  30‐year  capital  budget  spreadsheet  anticipating  future  costs  that  will  support  your  annual budget allocations for park maintenance and replacement.

11. URBAN FORESTS, GHG REDUCTION, WELLNESS TRAILS – This park will receive hundreds of new trees and shrubs to bring shade to new trails and a sense of nature  and  beauty  to  the  park,  especially  along  the  trail.   Evergreens  will dominate the urban forest with large deciduous trees creating shade for the trails and for CO2 sequestration.  Our open spaces and trees are some of the most important elements to increase our mental health and wellbeing.

Westacre Park
West Sacramento, California
Client:  City of West Sacramento

Project  Summary:  In  June  2022,  Melton  Design
Group,  Inc.  began  work  with  the  City  of  West
Sacramento to create a Master Plan
and  Construction  Drawings  for  the  renovation  of
Westacre  Park.  Through  community  workshops,
public  outreach  and  engaging  meetings  with  park
staff,
we were able to clarify the needs of the City to
evaluate park features and layout.  We found that the
West Sacramento area is in desperate need of more
Pickleball  courts,  so  our  Master  Plan  included  the following for both daily recreation and tournaments:
 Four new pickleball courts for community use.
 Two multi‐use courts, including pickleball and futsal.  Fencing around all courts.
 New landscape, including shade trees.
 Block wall for practice and noise reduction.
 Custom  school  bus  play  structure  symbolizing  the property originally being used for school bus storage.

Hewitt Park
Oroville, California
Client:  City of Oroville

Project  Summary:  Hewitt  Park  has  been
underutilized  for  far  too  long  and  over  the
past two years, MDG met with many Oroville
locals  to  gather  ideas  on  how  to  revitalize
this  space.   It  became  clear  to  us  that
pickleball is a very important activity
for the
public and should be a big part of the park.
 Eight spacious pickleball courts with
colored  concrete  for  an  enhanced
playing experience
 Spacious courts to accommodate all
abilities.
 On‐demand sports lighting that can
be  turned on by players  until 9  pm
for continued play after sunset.
 Shaded bleachers for spectators to watch games and tournaments.  Fencing with pickleball and railroad elements providing consistent theming throughout the park, which has two decommissioned locomotives.

 Managed CAPRI insurance, FWS and FEMA claims
 Worked with DWR, CCC and the Spillway Contractors
to help clean up the site.

Riverbend Park:  A 120‐acre Park in Oroville, CA that sits on the Feather River was developed in 2003 by MDG and was
completely flooded in 2017 when the Oroville Dam Spillway failed.   Since  then,  MDG  went  through  Phase  1  and  is  in construction  process  of  Phase  2,  where  we  are  installing  a new amphitheater that will withstand any flood, as did the structures of 2003.

The two phases cover approximately 36 acres and include the renovation  of  new  boat  launch,  new  beach  /  waterfront, picnic and play, dog park renovation, new amphitheater with shelter,  play  structure  repair,  water  play  area,  three  multi‐ use  sports  fields,  boulder  climbing  structures  and  disc  golf course.  The program and design approach were focused on activating the park and creating economic opportunities.

Design with Maintenance in Mind:  In the process of design, MDG  makes  it  a  priority  to  speak  directly  with  the Maintenance  and  Operations
Staff.   This  is  critical  as  these
guys understand their capability and the City’s ability to fund the upkeep and maintenance of a park.   In this process, we find  out  about  the  nuances  of  the  project  sites,  drainage, soils, utilities... all are key to designing for easy maintenance in  the  future.   MDG  collaborated  with  hydrological  engineers  to  understand  the  new  flows  of  the  river  and appropriately reinforced the banks and structures to withstand future flooding.

Loma Vista Village Green
Prime Consultant | Civil Engineering | Survey | Water Resources | Utility Coordination
Loma Vista Village Green was constructed on a City owned property north of Gettysburg Avenue between De Wolf and Leonard Avenue using City of Clovis Local Funds. This 7-acre park is located within the Loma Vista neighborhood of the City of Clovis. The Loma Vista community is intended to be a sustainable community of high-quality design, serving the immediate needs of its residents.

The Loma vista neighborhood has two master planned community centers – Community Center North and Community Center South. Village Green is the central focal point of the Community Center South Masterplan.

The project goal was to provide both active and passive uses, accommodating features such as amphitheater, open fields, seating areas, play equipment and the opportunity for food truck operations. Some unique features at Loma Village Green allow the park to accommodate community festivals, concerts, and the opportunity to lease the areas for public and private events. • The following are some major improvements included with the project. • Amphitheater band shell
• Pedestrians drop off area
• Clock Tower
• Sidewalks and Seating areas
• Landscaping and park lighting
• Ada curb ramps and offsite parking
• Paving and Utilities
This project is currently under construction and when completed, will promote healthier, happier living through pedestrian connectivity and pedestrian amenities, inviting the public to walk through their neighborhood.

Packwood Creek Trail

Project Description:

The Packwood Creek Trail incorporated 8 acres of unused street frontage into the City of Visalia’s overall trail system. The project was installed along Packwood Creek, creating 1/2 mile of new hiking trail. Native plants exclusively were used in the design of the trail and 90 trees were planted to revegetate the creek corridor. The project was constructed through a partnership with the City of Visalia, the Sequoia Conservation Corp and the Urban Tree Foundation. At risk youth from the conservation corp built the project under the management of UTF. A community planting day was held to celebrate Arbor Day, with about 40 residents coming out to help with installing plants.

Project Cost: $250,000.00

GREG MELTON, RLA, LEED AP
PRINCIPAL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT

Greg  Melton  has  been  planning  and
designing  recreation  facilities  for  over  35
years, providing many north state cities and
counties  with  successful  design  and
planning services.

One of Greg’s most valued assets is his ability to see and help clients understand the big picture of a project; how a person
may experience
a project site, understanding the relationship with a site’s history and translating these aspects into a physical and visual experience that is informative, fun, and aesthetically pleasing. Greg believes it takes a complete  team  to  design  and  build  a  project.  All  good  design  ideas need  to  be  vetted  against  our  quality  control.  All  projects  deserve quality materials for longevity and operation.

“All the  projects  we design  are  specific  for  each community  and  we are  proud  of that.”

Recent project experience includes lead design and cost services for:
 West River Park, Town of Truckee.
 Eastside Community Park Master Plan Update in Kerman for the Prop 68 Cultural and Resource Grant submittal.
 Eleanor  Nelson  Community  Park  design  services  for Community  Outreach,  Master  Plan  and  Cost  Analysis, Vacaville.
 Valley’s Edge 1,400‐acre Mixed Use Development. Recreation and  Parks  Design  for  Specific  Plan  and  Design  Guidelines  of 700+ acres of Park and Open Space in Chico.
 Mooretown Rancheria Community Park Master Plan, Grading and Utilities for existing 32‐acre area at Feather Falls Casino in Oroville.

Akers Street & Riggin Avenue Improvements - Visalia, CA Project Manager
Mr. Ainley provided overall project management and project engineering for the project.

The construction of the newest Middle School within the Visalia Unified School District created several changes in the traffic impact which required the City of Visalia to provide major off-site street improvements. The major street improvement project included roadway removal, full street design, traffic signal, right of way acquisition, utility coordination, sanitary sewer, storm drain, signing, pavement delineation, and project bidding and construction assistance. The project cost approximately $2.87M for construction, not including right of way, design, or construction management.

Shannon Parkway Improvements, Roundabout, & Giddings Street Overlay - Visalia, CA Project Manager
Mr. Ainley provided overall project management and project engineering for the project. 4Creeks worked with the City to design a new roundabout at the Giddings Street and Shannon Parkway intersection, design approximately 1,800’ of new collector road on Shannon Parkway, and design an overlay on a portion of Giddings Street. The design was triggered by the construction of a new elementary school located on Giddings Street north of Shannon Parkway.

Tulare Avenue Improvements - Visalia, CA
Project Manager
Mr. Ainley provided overall project management and project engineering, with TJKM, Inc. as a subconsultant. The project entailed the design of Tulare Avenue in the City of Visalia from Lovers Lane to Visalia Parkway. The project included the construction of approximately one mile of new roadway for both Tulare Avenue and Visalia Parkway. The cornerstone of the project is a new traffic signal at the intersection of Lovers Lane, a high- speed arterial street, and Tulare Avenue, a new collector street. The design included removing median controls and reconstructing the existing curb returns. New storm drain and sanitary sewer pipelines were also designed between Lovers Lane and McAuliff Street.

Caldwell Avenue Widening & Improvements (Santa Fe Street to Lovers Lane) - Visalia, CA
Principal-In-Charge
This project is currently in design. Caldwell Avenue is major arterial roadway in the City and a heavily-traveled, regional corridor for motorists and bicyclists. The finished project includes widening 1.5 miles of Caldwell Avenue between Santa Fe Street and Lovers Lane.

Improvements include completely modified or rebuilt intersections, traffic signals, median improvements, sidewalk, curb, and gutter. The project also includes sewer mains, storm mains, and a street light system. There were significant Southern California Edison Co. transmission and distribution pole relocations coordinated with the project.

Santa Fe Street Signal Installation Project - Visalia, CA Project Manager
4Creeks was on a team with TJKM to provide assistance on this project. The overall objective of this project was to install four new traffic signals in downtown Visalia and install ai signal interconnect system to connect all four. The team prepared plans, specifications, and construction cost estimates for the design of new traffic signals and ADA access ramps at four Santa Fe Street intersections at Murray Avenue, Center Avenue, Main Street, and Acequia Avenue.

St. John's River Trail and Extension - Visalia, CA
Project Manager
Mr. McDonald served as Project Manager for this project which was a key component to connect pedestrian and bicycle travel to the Visalia Sports Park. The project was the design of more than one-mile of Class 1 trail within the Santa Fe Street corridor connecting the existing trail at Riggin Avenue and St. John's Parkway extending towards the St. Johns' River and Dinuba Boulevard (State Route 63), crossing underneath the existing bridge, and connecting to the Visalia Sports Park. The final design was in accordance with the requirements of Caltrans, Kaweah Delta Water Conservation District (KDWCD), and the City of Visalia.

Greenway Trail - Visalia, CA
Project Engineer
Mr. McDonald and the 4Creeks team provided Community Relations, Civil Engineering and Land Surveying Services for the City of Visalia’s Greenway Trail Project. The trail is designed within the SCE Tower Easement which is along the eastern border of town running north and south. The 3-mile trail construction is estimated at $3 million for construction cost. Greenway Trail is a critical piece to the City of Visalia’s Water Ways and Trails Master Plan, as it will connect four other trails in town. The project started out with a conceptual plan..

Creekside Park - Visalia, CA
Project Engineer
The park master plan was prepared following a community input process in which The HLA Group presented three design alternatives. Park elements were prioritized and resulted in a final approved park master plan. A natural theme was established in the design to emphasize its location adjacent to an open space/detention basin. Mr.

McDonald provided Research & Data Acquisition, Construction Plans, Culvert Crossing Design, Packwood Creek Lift Station Design and Construction Administration.

CMAQ Downtown Park & Ride - Tehachapi, CA
Project Manager
Mr. McDonald and his team provided engineering design services for the Kamm Avenue at Alta Avenue Roundabout, which was funded by three sources: CMAQ funds, Transportation Impact Fees (TIF), and funds from Dinuba Unified School District. The major street rehabilitation project included the full construction and design of 800' of Kamm Avenue and 775' of Alta Avenue. The roundabout has a 222' inscribed circle diameter and was designed per NCHRP Report 672 and the Caltrans Highway Design Manual.

Santa Fe Street & Tulare Avenue Roundabout - Visalia, CA Project Engineer
Kyle and his team worked with the City of Visalia to provide engineering services for the CMAQ-funded Tulare Avenue at Santa Fe Street Roundabout. A 35’ offset of the northbound and southbound lanes caused confusion amongst drivers which led to traffic congestion at the intersection. During peak hours, traffic often blocked entrances to businesses and homes. Mr. McDonald and his team recently celebrated the completion of the roundabout. The roundabout has mitigated the traffic issues caused by the initial abnormal layout of the streets.

Akers Street & Riggin Avenue Improvements and Flagstaff Roundabout - Visalia, CA Project Engineer
The project included roadway removal, full construction design, traffic signal installation, right of way acquisition, utility coordination, sanitary sewer, storm drain, striping, signage, and project bidding and construction assistance. This project constructed 0.5 miles of Akers Street, with median improvements, and included sidewalk, curb, and gutter along its west side from Riggin Avenue to just north of the new Ridgeview Elementary School. The project also constructed approximately 0.2 miles of Riggin Avenue. As part of the project, Flagstaff Street was installed on the south side of the new middle school and included a new roundabout.

New Dinuba High School - Dinuba, CA
Project Engineer
Mr. McDonald assisted the City of Dinuba with the new Dinuba High School and needed off-site improvements. Mr. McDonald led his team and provided on-site and off-site design. This project included water, storm drainage, sewer, dry utilities, and an 84” underground culvert along the frontage road of Alta Avenue.

DIRECTOR OF DIRECTOR OF

SKATEPARK DEVELOPMENTSKATEPARK DEVELOPMENT
Born and raised in New Jersey, surfing was Jason’s first love. Given the inconsistencies of Jersey waves however, Jason immersed himself in the full spectrum of East Coast action sports - whether in the ocean, the streets or the mountains. With a passion for the outdoors, Jason naturally transitioned into a career in the recreation industry in 2005. In 2008, he pulled the trigger on a long overdue relocation to a climate that better suited his love for action sports, landing in Southern California and becoming a full-time member of Spohn Ranch. Since then, Jason’s AutoCAD and critical thinking skills have led interdisciplinary teams for 150+ projects across 40+ states – always focused on innovative design.
