Mayor Cabrera sugg ested adding stipends to help incentivize the reserve deputy program.
Council Member Barnard noted not only does the City have an issue with the lack of sworn deputies in the City, but also the lack of facilities to house any additional deputies. Council Member Barnard asked Chief Reichle how long a deputy is taken out of the field to write a report for an assault.
Chief Reichle noted on average, an assault call will take a deputy of the field for about three to four hours.
Council Member Barnard note d we must factor these situations in when discussing staffing.
Chief Reichle stated with the change in laws over the years, it has incre ased the workload on deputies.
Mayor Pro Tem Delgado added after the initial three to four hours, the deputy would also have to write a report. Additionally, in the coming months, the deputies would also have to report to court, which takes them out of the field for additional hours.
Council Member Marquez asked if the Moreno Valley Sheriff's Department has Jailers on staff.
Chief Reichle stated Community Service Officer's usually take care of the jailing and booking, but compared to neighboring cities, the Moreno Valley Sheriff's Department does not have a sufficient number of classified staff. Chief Reichle noted many times CSO's are overloaded with transportation and booking, which leads these duties to be passed off to the one duty deputies.
Council Member Marquez asked if hiring more CSO's would help with the staffing issues.
Chief Reichle noted additional CSO's would help with the staffing issues.
Council Member Marquez asked if any additional CSO's are brought in from other Cities.

With the conclusion of public comments, Mayor Cabrera called for Council deliberation.
Council Member Baca-Santa Cruz stated she did review the applications received from District 1 residents. Council Member Baca- Santa Cruz asked Mayor Cabrera if the district representation was considered in this proposed slate of appointments.
Mayor Cabrera replied and stated yes district representation was considered in this slate of proposed appointments.
Mayor Pro Tem Delgado stated he is very impressed with the qualifications of the potential commissioners proposed in this slate.
Mayor Pro Tem Delgado stated today is a perfect example on why the current appointment process needs to be changed.
Mayor Cabrera stated the current process to appoint new commissioners is in place due to a vote that was taken last year, which was approved by both Mayor Pro Tem Delgado and Council Member Baca-Santa Cruz. Mayor Cabrera also noted he is open to change.
Council Member Barnard noted many of these appointments have expirations that expire at the end of the fiscal year, which will allow members of Council to appoint their representatives. Council Member Barnard noted the importance of equal representation throughout the districts, especially on the Planning Commission. Council Member Barnard asked a question of staff.
City Clerk Jane Halstead responded to Council Member Barnard's inquiries.
Council Member Barnard noted District 4 is heavily represented, so she would be willing to let the Districts that do not have representation pick to appoint commissioners. Council Member Barnard stated District representation is very important when selecting new commissioners.
Mayor Cabrera stated he appreciated Council Member Barnard identifying the different terms for the proposed commissioners. Mayor Cabrera noted he tried to do everything he could to make this process transparent and equitable. Mayor Cabrera noted of the twenty applicants received, only two are from District 1. Mayor Cabrera noted he moved around the appointments, specifically the Planning Commission, to ensure equal representation.

Interim City Attorney Steven Quintanilla stated Mayor Cabrera is the presiding officer and that he could waive the requirement if he gets a second and majority vote from Council. Another way to add this item on is to have a declaration which states this item is an urgency item, in that this item came up after the posting of the agenda, and there is a need to take action on this item tonight prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting. Interim City Attorney Steven Quintanilla stated if the Council is able to make those findings, based on a super majority vote of the Council, then the item will be able to be added to the agenda tonight.
Mayor Cabrera asked if no determination was made of this item being an urgency item, then this item will have to be added to a future agenda.
Interim City Attorney Steven Quintanilla replied and stated that is correct.
Mayor Cabrera noted the only other amendment he would like to be made, is to add Sammie Luna to the Historical and Preservation Board. Mayor Cabrera asked a question of staff regarding background checks.

Mayor Cabrera asked questions of staff regarding the Mayor approving all items on the City Council meeting agendas.
Interim City Attorney Steven Quintanilla responded stating currently, if the Mayor wanted to add an item on the agenda, they can unilaterally add the item on the agenda. The proposed change would have the Mayor place items on the future agenda in the same matter at which Council Members add items to the agenda. This entails a motion must be a made, seconded, and receive a majority vote to be added to a future agenda.

make sure they are able to have their voices heard. Mayor Cabrera proposed that the Mayor still maintain the ability to add items on the agenda, but reduce the total amount of votes needed to add an item to an agenda from three to two Council Members.
Council Member Barnard clarified that the Mayor approving all items on City Council agendas has been removed, but the change is reducing the amount of votes needed to add an item to an agenda from three to two Council Members. Council Member Barnard states with this change, the Mayor would have to request items to be added to an agenda like the rest of Council, but with the proposed change, the items would only need two votes to be added.
Mayor Pro Tem Delgado asked for further clarification.

AGENDA DATE: April 4, 2023
TITLE: ACCEPT THE CALIFORNIA AUTOMATED PERMIT
PROCESSING PROGRAM FUNDING GRANT AWARD
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommendations:
1. Accept the Califo rnia Automated Permit Processing Program (CalAPP) funding grant award of $100,000 administered through the California Energy Commission, to fund the implementation of SolarAPP+ and comply with the provisions of SB 379;
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his d esignee, to execute for and on behalf of the City of Moreno Valley, agreements and other related documents required by the California Energy Commission, subject to the approval of the City Attorney; and
3. Authorize the Chief Financial Officer, or his design ee, to make any necessary budget adjustments as recommended in the Fiscal Impact section of this report.
SUMMARY
This report recommends the acceptance of CalAPP grant funds of up to $100,000 through the California Energy Commission (CEC), to reimburse exp enses for the implementation of SolarAPP+ in accordance with Senate Bill 379. The reimbursable funds from this grant will be used to recover the cost of implementing the automated online solar permitting platform, SolarAPP+; reimburse staff or consultant t ime associated with implementing the software; training; and purchase of associated hardware.
BACKGROUND
SB379 was approved on September 16, 2022, and requires a city, county, or city and A.7
Packet Pg. 69
county, to implement an online, automated permitting platform tha t verifies code compliance and issues solar permits in real time or allows the jurisdiction to issue permits in real time for a residential solar energy system, and a residential energy storage system paired with a residential solar energy system. The bill shall also require cities, counties, and cities and counties , to report to the commission on the number of permits issued and the relevant characteristics of those systems. A city, county, or city and county, shall report annually to the CEC within one year of implementing the online, automated solar permitting system.
Existing law requires a California city or county to approve applications to install solar energy systems through the issuance of a building permit or similar nondiscretionary permit, subj ect to specified exceptions. Cities and counties must also develop a streamlined permitting process for the installation of small residential rooftop solar energy systems. In many cases, non-hardware costs to solar and storage projects, such as permitting, can add substantial time and money to the adoption of additional systems. Senate Bill 379 (Wiener, Chapter 356, Statutes of 2022) (SB 379) is intended to further increase access and adoption of residential solar and residential energy storage projects by supporting instantaneous plan review practices and creating consistent processes in cities and counties with certain population size for the issuance of a solar energy permit.
The goal of SB 379 is to streamline permitting for solar energy systems to prom ote the development of solar energy and storage projects in the state, contributing to larger efforts that help California meet its clean energy goals.
DISCUSSION
SB 379 requires that the City of Moreno Valley implement an online solar permitting process by September 30th, 2023. The State of California has allocated grant money to cities to assist with the implementation of online , real time solar permitting systems.
Based on the City of Moreno Valley’s population, the City qualifies for up to $100,000 of reimbursable funds. Moreno Valley's Building and Safety Division is requesting acceptance of a grant award to implement SolarAPP+ before the September 30th, 2023, deadline as outlined in SB 379. This grant is vital in ensuring the implementation of a software and program that is compliant with the provisions of SB 379 and offsetting the fiscal impact on the City.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Accept the California Automated Permit Processing Program (CalAPP) funding grant award to fund the implementation of SolarAPP+ and approve any necessary budget adjustments. Staff recommends this alternative.
2. Do not accept the California Automated Permit Processing Program (CalAPP) funding grant award. Staff does not recommend this alternative.

SB-379 Residential solar energy systems: permitting. (2021-2022) Senate Bill No. 379
CHAPTER 356
An act to add Section 65850.52 to the Government Code, relating to land use. [ Approved by Governor September 16, 2022. Filed with Secretary of State September 16, 2022. ]
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 379, Wiener. Residential solar energy systems: permitting.
Existing law requires a city or county to approve administratively applications to install solar energy systems through the issuance of a building permit or similar nondiscretionary permit. Existing law requires every city, county, or city and county to develop a streamlined permitting process for the installation of small residential rooftop solar energy systems, as that term is defined. Existing law prescribes and limits permit fees that a city or county may charge for a residential and commercial solar energy system. Existing law creates the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission) in the Natural Resources Agency and prescribes its duties, which include administering programs for the installation of solar energy systems.
This bill would require every city, county, or city and county to implement an online, automated permitting platform that verifies code compliance and issues permits in real time or allows the city, county, or city and county to issue permits in real time for a residential solar energy system, as defined, that is no larger than 38.4 kilowatts alternating current nameplate rating and a residential energy storage system, as defined, paired with a residential solar energy system that is no larger than 38.4 kilowatts alternating current nameplate rating.
This bill would prescribe a compliance schedule for satisfying these requirements, which would exempt a city with a population of fewer than 5,000 and a county with a population of fewer than 150,000, including each city within that county. The bill would require a city with a population of 50,000 or fewer that is not otherwise exempt to satisfy these requirements by September 30, 2024, while cities, counties, and cities and counties with populations greater than 50,000 that are not otherwise exempt would be required to satisfy the requirements by September 30, 2023. The bill would require a city, county, or city and county to report to the Energy Commission when it is in compliance with specified requirements, in addition to other information. The bill would require cities, counties, and cities and counties to self-certify their compliance with the bill’s provisions when applying for specified funds from the Energy Commission, as specified.
This bill would require the Energy Commission to set guidelines, adopted through a specified public process, for cities, counties, and cities and counties to report to the commission on the number of permits issued for residential solar energy systems and residential energy storage systems paired with residential solar energy systems and the relevant characteristics of those systems. The bill would make related findings and declarations.

Attachment: Residential Solar Energy Systems Permitting - Senate Bill 379 Text (6206 : ACCEPT THE CALIFORNIA AUTOMATED PERMIT 1/5/23, 8:22 AM Bill Text - SB-379 Residential solar energy systems: permitting. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB379 2/3 The Administrative Procedure Act generally governs the procedure for the adoption, amendment, or repeal of regulations by state agencies and for the review of those regulatory actions by the Office of Administrative Law.
This bill would exempt the guidelines from the Administrative Procedures Act.
This bill would expressly apply to charter cities.
By increasing the duties of local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.
Vote: majority Appropriation: no Fiscal Committee: yes Local Program: yes THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) Permitting fees or soft costs to solar and storage projects can add substantial time and money to the adoption of additional solar and storage projects.
(b) To meet its clean energy goals, California may need up to six gigawatts of new renewable and storage resources annually, including additional rooftop solar and storage projects. (c) Per the 2021 Senate Bill 100 Joint Agency Report, Achieving 100% Clean Electricity in California, development of rooftop solar must increase dramatically. (d) Because the 2021 budget included a $20 million appropriation to the Energy Commission for grants to all jurisdictions that adopt the SolarAPP+ or a similar program in order to expedite permitting, local permitting jurisdictions can and should be required to adopt SolarAPP+ or a similar program for automated permitting in order to promote the development of solar and storage to help meet the state’s clean energy needs.
SEC. 2. Section 65850.52 is added to the Government Code, immediately following Section 65850.5, to read:
65850.52. (a) For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:
(1) “Energy Commission” means the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission. (2) “Residential energy storage system” means commercially available technology, located behind a customer’s residential utility meter, that is capable of absorbing electricity generated from a colocated electricity generator or from the electrical grid, storing it for a period of time, and thereafter discharging it to meet the energy or power needs of the host customer or for export.
(3) “Residential solar energy system” means any configuration of solar energy devices that collects and distributes solar energy for the purpose of generating electricity and that has a single residential interconnection with the electric utility transmission or distribution network. (4) “SolarAPP+” means the most recent version of a web-based portal, developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, that automates plan review, produces code-compliant approvals, and issues permits for residential solar energy systems and residential energy storage systems paired with residential solar energy systems.
(b) (1) Pursuant to the compliance schedule in subdivision (c), a city, county, or city and county, in consultation with the local fire department, district, or authority, shall implement an online, automated permitting platform, such as SolarAPP+, that meets both of the following requirements:
(A) The platform verifies code compliance and issues permits in real time or allows the city, county, or city and county to issue permits in real time to a licensed contractor for a residential solar energy system that is no larger than 38.4 kilowatts alternating current nameplate rating and a residential energy storage system paired with a residential solar energy system that is no larger than 38.4 kilowatts alternating current nameplate rating.

(2) A city, county, or city and county is not required to permit an application for a residential solar energy system or a residential energy storage system paired with a residential solar energy system through the online automated permitting platform pursuant to this section if the system configuration is not eligible for SolarAPP+ at the time the application is submitted to the jurisdiction. (c) (1) A city with a population of fewer than 5,000 and a county with a population of fewer than 150,000, including each city within that county, is exempt from subdivision (b). (2) A city with a population of 50,000 or fewer that is not exempt pursuant to paragraph (1) shall satisfy the requirements of subdivision (b) by September 30, 2024.
(3) A city, county, or city and county with a population of greater than 50,000 that is not exempt pursuant to paragraph (1) shall satisfy the requirements of subdivision (b) by September 30, 2023. (d) A city, county, or city and county shall report to the Energy Commission when it is in compliance with subdivision (b).
(e) (1) The Energy Commission shall set guidelines for cities, counties, and cities and counties to report to the commission on the number of permits issued for residential solar energy systems and residential energy storage systems paired with residential solar energy systems and the relevant characteristics of those systems. A city, county, or city and county shall annually report to the Energy Commission pursuant to those guidelines within one year of implementing the online, automated solar permitting system pursuant to subdivision (b).

This subdivision shall not apply to the twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) in funds available, pursuant to Section 76 of Chapter 69 of the Statutes of 2021, from the Energy Commission for automated solar permitting. (g) This section does not limit or otherwise affect the generator interconnection requirements and approval process for a local publicly owned electric utility, as defined in Section 224.3 of the Public Utilities Code, or an electrical corporation, as defined in Section 218 of the Public Utilities Code. (h) All liabilities and immunities, including, but not limited to, the immunities provided in Sections 818.4, 818.6, and 821.2, applicable to cities, counties, and cities and counties shall apply to any permits issued through an online, automated permitting platform and any inspections conducted in connection with those permits. (i) For the purposes of this section, a city shall include a charter city.
SEC. 3. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because a local agency or school district has the authority to levy service charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to pay for the program or level of service mandated by this act, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code.
SEC. 4. The Legislature finds and declares that Section 2 of this act adding Section 65850.5 of the Government Code address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution.

Packet Pg. 93
Center to offer more programs, classes, and social events and activities for senior patrons. This project is funded with the Facility Construction funds (Fund 3000.)
DISCUSSION
The Senior Center was built in 1993 and has been providing a wa rm and friendly place for patrons 50 years and older to enjoy programs, classes, events and social activities with other adults. The current building floor area of the Senior Center is roughly at 15,000 square feet, and the proposed expansion would add an additional 4,000 square feet floor area or about 26% capacity increase.
On November 1, 2022, the City Council approved the appropriation of funds in the amount of $4,400,000 from the available Development Impact Fee – Community/Recreation Center Funds (Fun d 2907) and the General Fund Unassigned Reserves (Fund 1010) to the Facility Construction Funds (Fund 3000) for the design and construction of the Senior Center .
On January 30, 2023, staff advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) to retain a consultant t o provide architectural and engineering design services for the project. In response to the advertisement, four (4) proposals were received on February 28, 2023.
The staff selection team reviewed the proposals and ranked the firms as follows:
1. SVA Architects, Inc.
2. TR Design Group, Inc.
3. Darin Johnstone Architects, APC.
4. Ziese Architecture

The SVA team and our key consultants have decades of relevant experience in facilities planning, design, and construction, with a strong emphasis with community centers. We are prepared to implement efficient approaches and creative solutions for this project that will positively impact your city’s seniors and community members for years to come.
SVA, a 60 employee California Corporation, was founded in September 2003 by Mr. Robert Simons, AIA and Mr. Ernesto Vasquez, FAIA. As President and CEO, respectively, they have over 80 years of combined architectural experience, and have utilized this expertise and skill to lead the SVA Team in designing a wide range of 21st century facilities. Since our founding, SVA has offered architectural planning and design services to civic clients throughout California and the western United States. With a long-held passion for community involvement and crafting functional environments, our team has an excellent track record working on a long list of public works projects and our designs have been recognized with many design awards. SVA has received both new and repeated work commissions based on our reputation, client satisfaction, design excellence, technical expertise, sustainable design approach, teamwork, and our overall commitment to our clients.
The firm’s success lies in our well-demonstrated ability to achieve highly attractive, functional, and efficient architecture, while completing a wide variety of projects on time and on budget.
The City will benefit from our team that can demonstrate the following expertise:
• Public Sector Experience – We have developed a diverse portfolio of work and collaborated with various civic clients, among which are City of Moreno Valley, City of Riverside, Orange County Public Works, City of Beaumont, County of Los Angeles, and most recently Cathedral City. These projects include designs for new construction and expansion as well as renovations and modernization of all scales. SVA recently completed the Civic Center Amphitheater for the City of Moreno Valley.
• Experience with Community & Senior Centers – We have worked closely with numerous cities and municipalities in delivering quality, functional, and sustainable community centers for both seniors and the greater public. These facilities serve as places of learning, recreation, and social gathering. Current and previous projects included the La Sierra Senior Center for the City of Riverside and the Community Aquatic and Senior Center for the City of Gardena. • Sustainable Design Approach – We understand that the City is looking to incorporate sustainable development concepts throughout the planning, design, and construction of this building. With over 20 LEED certified projects in our portfolio, including both Zero Net Energy and Grid Neutral projects, our team has the creativity and resourcefulness to integrate innovative sustainable strategies.
• Cost & Schedule Control – On-time and on-budget delivery is a constant goal of management and is placed as a permanent item on the project meeting agendas.

SVA and Design West (MEP) were both at the mandatory walk with the City; it was important and beneficial for us to hear firsthand the City’s feedback, concerns, and your vision for this project. We have led the design and construction of many similar community centers and building additions in the past and are currently working on a similar facilities for the City of Fontana, City of Gardena and the City of Temecula. SVA has a wealth of civic project experience and the technical expertise to develop a new expansion that will complement the existing Senior Center Building and will be an effective addition to the overall complex. We have the resources to begin immediately to develop the program and design, as well as continue with the bid and construction phases to support the City.
Our team has carefully reviewed the RFP package, the project description, and the spatial program. We understand that the City of Moreno Valley’s project will mainly be consist of the modernization of the restrooms to meet ADA access and there will be a new 4,000 s.f. expansion at the Southeast corner of the existing facility for the use of essential services and other social activities and programs. The new building may consist of either a masonry wall building to match existing or possibly a new Type V (wood) building. The expansion will be located adjacent and separated from the existing building so as to not to interfere with the existing building lateral and gravity system.
The project will begin with a thorough review of all pertinent plans and documents. We will also conduct an investigative tour of the site to understand the existing conditions and identify the challenges that are presented for this project. Potential project issues at the moment could simply be the close proximity of the expansion. We will need to review and assess the existing structural as-builts to locate the existing footings so new footings are not interrupted by existing footings.
Additional, the new building will most likely require over-excavation by the soils engineer report by up to 3’-0” from grade to allow for engineered fill to be compacted for the new structure. Along with our consultants, our team will look for unique opportunities and develop solutions to overcome any potential challenges like these for this project, while ensuring minimal disruption to the flow of traffic at, and near, the project site.
SVA has completed many expansions on existing sites with established buildings, we understand how critical it is to develop a complementary design as if all buildings were planned and constructed together at the same time – this is one of the key project goals.
In addition to this, SVA always believes that sustainable design is an integral component of every project, and we will work with the City and all stakeholders to incorporate sustainable principles into this new expansion where possible. We will evaluate the total cost of ownership, including both short and long term investments.
Our team will conduct regular meetings
and provide monthly updates on the
project to ensure the design is completed
by end of 2023. At each milestone, we
will present to and review with the City to
obtain your feedback and approval so we
can proceed to the next phase. A detailed
page-turn will be conducted at the end of
Design Development and Construction
Documents to ensure all scope and details
are incorporated and the design is meeting
the City’s expectations. SVA will collaborate
with a multidisciplinary engineering and
consultant team to bring comprehensive
solutions for this project. We have worked
with each of these firms for many years on
relevant projects and can attest to their
capabilities.

2. APPROACH & MANAGEMENT PLAN
GENERAL APPROACH
We view the practice of Architecture as the concerted efforts of numerous people endeavoring to do what they do best. It is in this spirit that SVA intends to work closely with all parties—from the City and its project team to the stakeholders—to design and deliver this new building space.
SVA has a stakeholder-first approach when designing our projects. Our process begins with meeting with the client and stakeholders to get a better understanding of their needs and goals for their projects. Concurrently we review all relevant documents that our clients could provide. Through the programming and interview sessions, we will have the opportunity to better understand the project, and review/confirm the program, cost, and schedule with the stakeholders. From there the team will begin preparing the schematic layout, illustrating any suggestions for cost savings, increased efficiency, or propose other innovative ideas for the project.
Once any changes are reviewed and approved by the City’s project team, SVA Architects and our consultants will begin preparing the design development plans. Pending on the project scope, our team typically includes Architectural, Interiors, Civil, Structural, MEP, Fire Protection, Technology, Landscape, and Cost Estimating services. The team will provide cost estimates at various milestones of the design phases. Any adjustments to the design needed to keep the project on budget will be made at these milestones.
Following approval of the design development documents, the team will prepare the construction documents. Likewise, cost estimates will be provided at multiple milestones and any adjustments needed will be incorporated at those times. Once complete, a thorough and well-coordinated set will be submitted to the City for review and approval. Any comments received from the City will be quickly resolved to provide a smooth and efficient plan check process.
During bid phase, the SVA team will assist the City with the bid process, attending pre-bid meetings, and responding to any bidder questions by addenda. Once bids are received, the team will work with the City’s project team to review the proposals and assist with the selection of the contractor, if required.
During construction, SVA and its consultants will approach the process in a spirit of teaming with the contractor to quickly and efficiently build the project, reviewing submittals in a timely manner, and providing well-coordinated and complete RFI responses. SVA will look out for the City’s interests throughout this process. During project close-out, we will provide thorough punchlists and all closeout documentation.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
The new amphitheater will provide seats in an open-air venue with an architectural style that responds to the adjacent civic center. The project is articulated by a translucent precast Kalwall band shell that focuses sound to the audience and, when lit up at night, serves as a glowing beacon of cultural activity. The ADA accessible stage features a large 9’ x 16’ LED screen that facilitates movie nights and serves as a backdrop for concert performances. The amphitheater will be served by approximately 360 parking spaces.
After outgrowing their old civic center, the City of La Habra partnered with SVA to convert an existing business complex into a spacious and modern 21st century civic center. The modernized and more sustainable facility provides a space for residents and employees to do business as well as the capacity to conduct large community events and private functions. One of the key design features of the new City Hall is the transformation of the exterior courtyard to an enclosed atrium- style lobby, filled with natural light, this now serves as the central hub.
The current site houses vital county services including the Department of Public Works, Department of Regional Planning, and the Building & Safety Division in an aging building. The new One-Stop Development Center will comprise the construction of a new building and the demolition of the old one. The new building is a one-story 7,500 sq. ft. building with public queuing/waiting spaces interactive application workstations, and public restrooms. It will also include staff offices, open workstations, conference rooms, and a staff lunch area.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
SVA worked with West Basin Municipal Water District on this 9,100 sq.ft. building.
This project re-envisions the visitor center experience with a reconfiguration of the existing large conference room; construction of new large divisible meeting/ conference room, restrooms and storage rooms; remodeling of the reception and front office space area; and relocation of the control room. A key design component is a multi-purpose visitor center/exhibit room that includes interpretive exhibits. These new exhibits have been created to showcase the designer waters being produced for the petroleum industry.
The project consists of office tenant improvements and exterior/landscaping renovations. The interior tenant improvements consisted of a center for learning and innovation, in addition to a wellness and workout room. IEHP’s objective is to provide a dedicated space for non-department specific company training and development such as leadership trainings, provider meetings, certification programs, orientations, community meetings, retreats, and college course classes.
IEHP also promotes and encourages employee health and wellness education.
SVA worked with the University to provide tenant improvements to the PATH Building. Efficiency was a key factor in the design. The proposed design facilitates bringing natural light, creating a warm and welcoming environment to enhance work space. All interior offices were provided with generous sidelights. Assignable square footage has been maximized through the use of double acting circulation paths that provide access to multiple functions at once, such as private offices and workstation areas. The project is also LEED Gold Certified.

For this project, we have assigned the following personnel to this task which includes Robert Simons as the Partner-In- Charge and Architect of Record, Doug Brown as Sr. Project Manager, Mel Tan as the Sr. Project Designer, Robert Puleo as the Interiors / FF&E Specialist, Dean Hawkins as Sustainable Lead, Atosa Dehsaraei as Project Architect, David Forman as QAQC Director, and Judy Cheng as the Project Coordinator.
Our proposed senior staff have been working together for over 16 years – Robert S., Doug, Mel, Robert P., David and Judy.
SVA understands the importance of having staffing continuity for the entirety of a project; we strive to keep the same team members from project start to project completion. In the occasion of the need of switching out of staff, we will inform the City as soon as possible, acknowledging that the City has the right to approve that team member’s replacement.
Our sub-consultant team, which also thoroughly understands the requirements needed for this project, will consist of Valued Engineering, Inc. for Civil engineering services, T&B Engineering Inc. for Structural engineering, Design West Engineers which will provide MEP, Fire Life/Safety, and Technology services, and Architerra Design Group for Landscape design services. Along with these teams, we have brought on Inland Foundation Engineering, Inc. for Geotechnical services and Sierra West Group to provide accurate Cost Estimates throughout the entire process. They will be supported by additional team members where necessary. These consultants have worked with SVA on many previous assignments over the years, including the City of Riverside La Sierra Senior Center and the Moreno Valley College School of Public Safety, and are very familiar with how to work within the SVA approach. Our teaming history and experience will be advantageous towards this project and accelerating the process at certain milestones.
AVAILABILITY
SVA currently has approximately 30% of our workload in the design phase, with the remaining in the construction document phase or under construction. While the firm has many projects both kicking off and closing out, this workload will not overshadow our commitment to deliver quality and responsiveness to the City.
Our firm has the resources of over 60 professional staff members to provide all necessary and required architectural and planning services to the City. Moreover, SVA can accommodate and respond to any magnitude of schedule change; depending on project phase, we will assign additional staff accordingly and ask our consultants to do the same. Our proposed key team members will be able to serve the City and balance their workload with any other commitments throughout the agreement term.
APPROACH TO BUDGET & SCHEDULE CONTROL
COST CONTROL
Cost control is a constant goal of management and is placed as a permanent item on the project meeting agendas. Our team keeps up-to-date records of building system costs for its past and current assignments in an effort to monitor the costs of construction. During the initial design phases, we meet extensively with the project team members, vendors, and manufacturers to determine new ways of maximizing the value of our design within the budget constraints. Discussions are recorded in objective detail and transmitted to the appropriate parties involved in the action. We actively participate in maintaining the project budget, and our experience from past assignments has proven invaluable in obtaining the maximum value and quality for every construction dollar spent.
SCHEDULE CONTROL
For schedule control, we establish a detailed work plan at the start of each phase indicating the major tasks and milestones to be accomplished by each team member. This schedule is used to track the progress of design and construction throughout the assignment. We maintain a continuous communication with our clients, focusing on the important design, cost, and schedule issues to ensure both technical accuracy and timeliness of delivery. This is invaluable in fostering a team spirit for successful project completion. With the firm’s and key members’ decades of community and civic project experience, the SVA Team has an excellent understanding of what it takes to provide a realistic and efficient project schedule. We have decades of experience and have sustained good relationships with relevant governmental agencies.

5. WORK PLAN & SCHEDULE
PROPOSED WORK PLAN
SVA has created the following work plan identifying tasks that we believe are required for the project: Throughout the course of the project, we will schedule/hold/manage meetings with the project team on a bi-monthly basis and will provide additional meetings as required by the project phase and schedule, including meetings with utility providers. SVA will prepare/distribute agendas and minutes. Within fifteen days of the awarding of the assignment, SVA will prepare and submit a project schedule identifying key milestone dates along with a QA/QC plan for the City’s review and approval. Project schedules will be updated monthly and shall be submitted for City review, noting any modifications.
PROJECT ASSESSMENT AND PROGRAMMING VERIFICATION
Task #1 – Kick-Off Meeting
We will conduct an initial Kick-Off Meeting to understand the intent and scope of the project, the personnel to be involved, the reporting criteria and the schedule for the project. We will discuss any previous conceptual planning and programming documentation, if any, as well as any site studies, information or building reports to gain a better understanding of the project history. We will also review the proposed meeting schedule and will discuss which meeting should be conducted in- person and which can be virtual, online meetings. SVA will provide milestone review meetings during the Schematic Design phase, the Design Development phase, and at the 65% and 90% completion phase of the Construction Documents. SVA will provide PowerPoint presentations to the City Council, as required.
Task #2 – Site and Building Analysis (Concurrent with Task #3) For our first step our team of dedicated architects and consultants will review any reports and assessments previously prepared by the City concerning the existing condition of the site and will confirm these findings thorough an on-site examination. We will review existing utility connections, site access, drainage, and parking, including ADA access. At the conclusion of this phase we will provide the City with a written and photographic site analysis that documents our findings and our recommendations for any items which may not have been previously addressed and may impact the development of the project moving forward. SVA will also document hazardous materials not previously identified to be abated.
Task #3 – Programming
One of our first step will be to engage with user groups, administration personnel, and maintenance operations staff to gain a complete understanding of the design intentions for the project, the parameters governing the project and the requirements for long term use and maintenance. This engagement will be through interviews with the key stakeholders. At the conclusion for this phase, SVA will confirm the program, anticipated square footages, and their adjacencies.
SCHEMATIC DESIGN
Task #4 – Block Planning
Upon review and acceptance of the project assessment and analysis report, and upon approval of the final project program, SVA will create one or more alternate block plans based upon our review of the existing conditions and our understanding of the program.
Task #5 – Space Planning
Once a preferred planning direction has been established, SVA will create more detailed space plans derived from the blocking plans that will be suitable to be priced by a cost estimator.
These plans will exhibit all building functions, will describe major points of egress and exit, accessible paths of travel and will define any public accessible areas versus staff areas.

SVA will prepare a Schematic Design package of drawings illustrating all space plans, the location and outline specification of interior finishes and treatments and preliminary lighting and power diagrams.
Additionally, SVA will provide outline specifications for proposed energy efficient HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems, as well as security, communication and information technology systems. Our package will also address structural recommendations for the construction of the project. We will issue these documents for City review and pricing by an outside cost estimator.
As a part of SVA’s schematic design services, we will investigate the potentials for achieving LEED certification level if desirable (LEED certification is additional service). SVA will review these options with the City to determine which, will be pursued for the project and will develop the project to meet the proscribed goal, including meeting the desired level without certification. At the conclusion of the Schematic Design phase, SVA will review the completed conceptual design package with the City to receive their final comments and will provide final modifications as requested.
Task #7 – Cost Estimating
For the Schematic Design package SVA will consult with independent City approved cost estimators. We review the project in greater detail with the cost estimators to gain an understanding of project costs based on current construction pricing and predicted cost escalations and will include estimates for FF&E items. Upon completion of this work, SVA will prepare a detailed cost estimate for the project, including potential cost escalations. SVA will meet with the City to review the pricing analysis and will create a final summary report, including any modifications requested by the City.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Task #8 – Design Development Drawings
Upon approval of the final Conceptual/Schematic Design package, budget estimate and schedule, SVA will prepare design development drawings identifying all items to be constructed and purchased so that a final budget estimate can be determined. The three-dimensional character of the building and interior spaces will be further developed in greater detail including the final selection of exterior materials and interior finishes, light fixtures, cabinetry, furnishings, and upholstery.
The document package will include site demolition drawings, mechanical design intent drawings, structural drawings, electrical and fire alarm drawings indicating the extent of work to be performed for the new addition and for the existing building. SVA will investigate the opportunities for solar power and other sustainable design features. SVA will prepare a preliminary furniture budget and schedule based on the approved interior space plans. Upon approval of the design direction and the submitted pallet of materials and upholstery, SVA will prepare a records furniture materials board. SVA will review this package with the City to ensure that all design elements have been identified and exhibited properly in a manner that allows the nature of the design to be readily conveyed and priced.
Task #9 – Cost Estimating Updates
SVA will engage the City approved cost estimators to verify that the design conforms to the previously prepared budget guidelines. If the design exceeds the project budget, SVA will assist the City in determining areas to be modified and will revise the documents accordingly.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS & PLAN CHECK
Task #10 – Construction Documents/Specifications
SVA will prepare construction documents and specifications suitable to convey the design intent of the project and to obtain a building permit based on the approved Design Development Document Package. Developed and dimensions plans, sections, elevations and details will be prepared to adequately convey the design direction to contractors and fabricators. Structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and information technology construction drawings will be included in the package. Electronic copies of all drawings will be made available. A specifications manual describing the construction process, standards and products will accompany the construction drawings and will be available in MS Word format and PDF and shall follow the latest CSI format. SVA will review any City provided general boiler plate and project specific specifications previously prepared and will include within SVA’s specifications manual, as appropriate, including any updates or revisions required for the project.

6. QUALITY CONTROL & ASSURANCE
QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES
The SVA team firmly believes it is the responsibility of all project team members to maintain the highest quality of standards for all project documentation at all times. This is a commitment and work philosophy that the SVA team takes very seriously and is at the core of each assignment we undertake. Every project is reviewed by the project manager as well as SVA’s QA/ QC Director (David Forman, AIA) who provides a fresh set of eyes to both architectural and engineering drawings; David has over 30 years of civic project experience.
Reviews are built into the project schedule at the kickoff meeting, and deadlines are established for all responses. We have a series of three design phases for most projects set in our project schedule that we issue to the owner. This starts with Schematic Design, Development and ends with the Construction Document phase. Within each phase there is a 50% and a 100% submittal and page turn meeting. For the CD phase there is usually 2 submittals and a final 100% set that is reviewed right before submittal to the plan review agency. In addition, page turns are scheduled at the completion of Design Development and Construction Document stages to review scope and re-confirm design intent with the client.
CONSULTANT COORDINATION
In addition to this, SVA will prepare a detailed schedule and budget for this project at inception. The project manager will monitor work completed to date against the schedule biweekly. At this time, he will also utilize a budget report to check expenditures against schedule and budget. We set up procedures to coordinate with consultants from the outset when the contract is developed, establishing the baseline on how the coordination will occur. The project manager will prepare a status report to be submitted to the City with monthly milestones. The manager will also indicate on the schedule milestone meeting with the architect’s consultants for review and approval. Each consultant is required to respond to a detailed quality review of their documents. This procedure is necessary to prevent conflicts between trades and to eliminate conflicts under construction.
SVA QA/QC ASSETS
Outlined below are the assets that the SVA team brings to the QA/QC process. ■ Revit Software — The ability to effectively integrate BIM is a significant part of SVA’s Quality Assurance effort. The nature of the software allows our team to spend time more efficiently on design ideas and technical implementation, eliminating many of the manual procedures that exist in traditional CAD processes in preparing documents. ■ Training — The SVA team utilizes an ongoing internal training program to remain current in methodologies and standards. We publish these standards internally, distribute them through our intranet, and review them with our teams. ■ Document Delivery Checklists — During the design process, the SVA team incorporates tracking documents that monitor the status of deliverables and information required as part of the drawings at major project milestones. ■ Detail Standards — We have established multiple
standard detail and project note sheets outlining
essential information that is consistent from project
to project, addressing accessibility, life-safety and
building code requirements.
■ Library of Project References — Throughout the
years, SVA has compiled a vast library of projects
documented and constructed that are available for
our staff to use as references, which are used at our
regular internal training sessions.
