CONSULTANT shall pay, in a prompt and timely manner, the premiums on the insurance hereinabove required.

• Design Development: Once the preferred design option is selected, we will refine the design to include detailed landscape plans, planting designs, irrigation layouts, and infrastructure designs.
• Construction Documents: We will prepare complete construction documents, including detailed plans, specifications, and cost estimates. These documents will be created with attention to detail to ensure accuracy and clarity, ensuring smooth project execution. • Technical Specifications: We will prepare project-specific technical specifications for all materials, planting, and construction methods, ensuring compliance with local regulations, standards, and sustainability goals.

5. PROJECT APPROACH
Our approach to the project will be focused on delivering high-quality landscape architectural services while ensuring the active involvement of the City of Huntington Beach, stakeholders, and the community throughout the planning and design stages. We will utilize a collaborative and transparent process that priorities both functionality and aesthetics, ensuring that each project not only meets the needs of the city but also enhances the community's experience.
Key Elements of Our Approach:

We will work closely with the city to review and refine project concepts, ensuring that the final design reflects the needs and aspirations of the community.
• Community Involvement: We will hold community work sessions and public meetings to gather input, answer questions, and encourage feedback. This will ensure the design aligns with the expectations of residents and other interested parties.

• Site-Specific Design Solutions: Our team will create designs that respond to the unique characteristics of each project site. We will consider the surrounding environment, local culture, and the community's vision to create a design that enhances the area and provides a welcoming space for all users.
• Aesthetic Consistency: We will use landscape and architectural features to ensure the project is cohesive with the surrounding area. Our attention to detail, including color coordination and scale, will ensure the project complements the neighborhood and serves as a community asset.
C. Multimodal Accessibility and Safety
• Inclusive Access: Our designs will prioritize accessibility, ensuring that all users, including those with disabilities, can safely and easily navigate the site. We will incorporate pedestrian, bicycle, and automobile circulation, while maintaining compliance with ADA standards and ensuring accessibility for people with disabilities.
Safety Considerations: Our approach will also focus on creating safe spaces for all users, integrating lighting, clear signage, and secure pathways that enhance the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.
D. Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship
Sustainable Design Practices: Sustainability is a key consideration in all of our projects. We will integrate water-efficient landscaping, drought-tolerant plantings, and environmentally responsible materials to reduce the environmental impact.
Energy Conservation: We will explore opportunities for energy-efficient lighting and the use of renewable resources. Sustainable site design will be a fundamental element, incorporating green infrastructure and energy-saving systems.

HAI was contracted through the City of Long Beach to provide all conceptual design, construction documents and construction support services for the proposed 3.2 mile, 10' wide pedestrian pathway. The project features flexible paving pathway separated from the existing 17' wide concrete bike path/pedestrian path with relocation of 1.5 miles of existing bike path. Distance markers, minor nodes for resting with sitting boulders, signage, new striping on existing pathway, new pier crossing ramps encompass the project. The intent is to limit user conflicts on the existing pathway and develop additional beach pedestrian capacity. The project was coordinated with other Tideland funded projects such as restroom buildings and bluff stabilization projects and received Coastal Commission approval. Challenges included public outreach and opposition from numerous groups such as Surfrider Foundation and The Sierra Club. Ultimately, incorporating public input into the design won approval from the California Coastal Commission as well as user groups. The project is a huge success, increasing pathway and beach usage year after year. We reduced costs by utilizing concrete to be demolished and removed be crushed on site for base under the new pathway rather than hauled off site.

Project: Red Car Greenway Contact: Eric Lopez, Director of Public Works Client: City of Long Beach 562-570-5690
Completed: December 2017 Construction
Cost: $980,000
Project Description
HAI provided public outreach, feasibility studies, construction documents, permitting, bidding support and construction support. The Red Car Greenway is a sloped 3.5 acre stretch of land formally the right of way for the Red Car Rail System at the corner of 4* and Park. The new park space transformed a formally baren piece of property into a greenway with formalized trail and native landscaping consisting of hydroseed and shrub/tree plantings. The project connects the Belmont Heights Neighborhood to the Colorado Lagoon nature preserve and Marina Vista Park. It provides safe passage for students walking to nearby Wilson High School. The planning and outreach started in 2014 where the entire Red Car Right of way was Master Planned. HAI worked hand in hand with community groups such as the Belmont Heights Community Association and Friends of the Colorado Lagoon. The project plans for this portion of the Red Car R/W were crafted in 2016 and the project was bid and constructed in 2017. It was funded by (2) California State Park Grants. The Grants required public involvement in the performance of construction, California Conservation Corps labor was enlisted in the landscape portion of work, spreading recycled bark mulch from the Cities urban forest maintenance program. The project includes 8' wide colored concrete pathway intended to match the look of Decomposed Granite(DG) at the request of City Maintenance. Additionally, spilt rail fencing, timber light posts with LED fixtures, sitting boulders, dog waste bag dispensors, receptacles and coordination and connection to the 6th Street Bike lanes are included. HAI worked with Tree of Life Nursery to develop a coastal native plant palette including meadow hydroseed and shub/tree selections.
Challenges to the project were schedule due to the Grant requirements and working through the permitting process with Los Angeles County Flood Control, historically slow and stayed true to that fact. The site contains a large 6' culvert drain it's entire length. Additionally, coordination with (2) pipe line companies was requried due to oil lines running on the north and south sides of the parcel the entire length. In the end, HAl perseverance paid off. Sub Consultants provided survey, site lighting and power for restroom and controller, civil engineering and hydrology study, geotechnical and structural engineering.

Construction Cost: Up to $1,000,000
Project Description
The City of Redondo Beach is embarking on a project to satisfy the Pickleball Stakeholder Group by providing dedicated Pickleball Courts within existing facilities. The balance is to not displace other user groups when providing courts as well as keep courts as far away from residential homes. Many locations in the City are within SCE Easements. HAl evaluated each existing park facility and prepared the study including preliminary construction costs estimates by location. The City intends to fund and select phase one implementation in 2024.
