THE RIGHT TEAM
Our insight and expertise will lead you through an
efficient and cost-effective design process. On
average, we’ve saved our clients approximately 15% in
engineering cost with our full service approach. Our multi- disciplinary teams, including in-house engineering
department, develop critical insight into the unique needs, culture, and design goals of our clients. This insight is the springboard for innovative solutions during all phases of the process.
We have the resources of a large firm and the staff to meet demanding schedules, yet projects are delivered through small, dedicated design teams. Our team
is accustomed to working with tight time frames and
streamlined efforts, having done so recently on multiple efforts for various projects. In several such instances, we have been tasked with completing multiple task orders in a fraction of the time such an effort would normally take, in order to meet the strict deadlines.
A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS FOR DESIGN
A collaborative process is the means by which we design. We collaborate internally and externally. We are dedicated to a project that reflects the vision and meets the goals of the City of Moreno Valley.
It is our goal to provide a team with a demonstrated history of delivering projects for their clients that satisfy the project goals while remaining financially responsible. We will always exhibit professionalism over the course of the contract and address the operational needs of your facilities.
IMPORTANCE OF STAKEHOLDER INPUT
We have proven experience facilitating participatory processes with multiple stakeholders and large consulting teams. Our goal is to provide a sense of place and community while fostering the relationships and interactions necessary for personal growth. To achieve these goals, we will involve you, the City
of Moreno Valley, in the planning process. We find discussions during workshops are our most powerful planning tool,
enabling multifaceted clients to reach consensus and remain engaged in the process.
QUALITY AND TIMELY PERFORMANCE
As an integrated architecture, planning and engineering firm, HGA’s culture is rooted in interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing. Because our ultimate success is the
satisfaction of our clients, we continually strive for quality, consistency and timeliness through the implementation of a formal QA/QC process and consistent coordination and
communication among our design team members.

QA/QC
(E) PROCEDURES FOR PERFORMING QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL (QA/QC) ON THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED.
QUALITY ASSURANCE & QUALITY CONTROL
HGA’s Quality Assurance (QA) process relies on
established documentation standards and
interdisciplinary coordination, ensuring project requirements are validated and compatible at each phase. Quality Control (QC) reviews are conducted by in-house experts not on the core project team, and are built into the schedule to ensure documents meet firm, industry, and client standards,
including code and accessibility compliance. These reviews, along with third-party feedback, enhance design clarity and reduce changes during construction.
Our QA/QC program will be tailored to your project’s needs and emphasizes collaboration between the city of Moreno Valley, the design team, and quality review team. The process integrates interdisciplinary reviews and tools like BIM clash detection, cost estimating, and sustainability reviews to ensure high-caliber design and documentation.
HGA will woke closely with the City of Moreno Valley from project inception, aligning documentation with your vision at each step. Submissions for review will occur at Predesign (10%), Schematic Design (30%), Design Development
(60%), and Construction
KEY COMPONENTS OF OUR IN-HOUSE QA/QC
PROCESS:
Reviewing documents internally for applicable code
requirements relative to fire/life safety, structural, and accessibility issues, and meeting with review agencies
early and often to discuss overall project design and
work through any areas of concern before submission.
Coordinating and collaborating with our Sustainability
group on specific project goals.
Using client-established goals, vision, and project
criteria as measures of project success.
Performing early external code reviews with agencies
having jurisdiction to help guide appropriateness of
planning solutions and design options, ensuring
major concerns are addressed early in the project.
Using common resources to aid coordination, quality,
and efficiency in the design workflow.
Conducting independent, in-house quality
Documents (90% and 100%). This continuous quality
management helps minimize agency review time,
RFIs, and change orders, facilitating smoother project delivery and final completion.
control reviews and getting “fresh eye”
feedback from experienced professionals.
Leveraging BIM and other related software to
cross-check and integrate documents across
disciplines.
Running clash detection reviews and clash- clearing
sessions during documentation.
Verifying material constructability and design intent
is fully documented.
Seeking input from installers, fabricators, and
manufacturers throughout the design process.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES | CLIFFORD L. ALLENBY BUILDING | SACRAMENTO, CA
As Criteria Architect for the new high-performance state office building in Sacramento’s downtown core, HGA established design criteria for one of the first large scale urban Zero Net Energy / LEED v4.0 Platinum buildings in the country. By creating a conceptual design, workplace strategy, complete program and
a viable budget and schedule, HGA integrated numerous
demanding design conditions: progressive workplace planning; public spaces that engage the community; extensive
daylighting; natural ventilation; significant reductions in energy and water use; high- rise building systems and regulations; and urban infill constraints. The result is a project that fully satisfies the State’s vision for the project and meets every critical success factor established at the project’s inception.
This project utilized the design-build delivery system.
Extensive computer modeling provided real-time analysis of multiple critical performance measures, including energy modeling, daylighting, structural optimization and
workplace efficiency.

GENERALI GLOBAL ASSISTANCE | OFFICE TENANT IMPROVEMENT |
SAN DIEGO, CA
HGA collaborated with Generali, a global insurance company, to define the future of their North American presence with the relocation of their office in San Diego. The new office celebrates the local diversity while implementing a future- focused and flexible workplace strategy. The transformation is anchored by a shift from pre-pandemic assigned desks to an unassigned model driven by employee choice. This
strategy allowed Generali to reduce their footprint and offer flexibility to employees. The new office features
neighborhoods of open workstations and community spaces, a range of collaboration and focus rooms,
a large work café, and a rich California brand story that also connects the vision of the global company and the services they provide. Each neighborhood and adjacent work café
features custom furniture, illustrations and signage as well as a bespoke color palette inspired by San Diego’s
neighborhoods.
The office is united by a feature wall that highlights Generali’s global locations and services with a custom- illustrated travelscape wall and custom LED lighting that features their brand statements.

CITY OF LA QUINTA | CULTURAL CAMPUS & MUSEUM RENOVATION | LA QUINTA, CA
The purpose of the Cultural Campus is to provide residents and visitors with a designated space for opportunities to enjoy cultural and artistic experiences such as rotating and
permanent art installations, new media, live performances, and educational workshops. Our design concept envisions a vibrant village-like campus, seamlessly blending 20th-century structures with contemporary sensibilities, inspired by the expansive yet intimate spirit of the desert. Through a fluid interplay of landscapes, courtyards, and galleries, we craft an immersive visitor experience, leveraging the desert’s unique climate, intuitive wayfinding,
and the allure of discovery. Our planning and design
enhancements optimize museum operations through precise modifications to the existing structure, addressing areas such as operations, security, and streamlined technology.
Additionally, we lay the groundwork for potential expansion to meet the Historical Society’s archival demands. This blueprint not only reimagines the past but also establishes a robust foundation for the museum’s enduring role as a nexus for contemporary and historic life and culture.

LIGHTING DESIGN
At ALD, we pride ourselves on being nimble and
responsive. We focus on building relationships with
owners, developers, architects, designers, and the entire project team. Lighting is often a critical path item; it requires definition while the architectural design is being created. We are there for the conversation and
collaboration as we explore design solutions collectively as a team. Our process is transparent throughout all
phases, working closely with the design team and client to develop a lighting approach that reinforces the
architectural concepts. The result is the perfect balance of design, value, and delivery.

Neither the City's failure or delay in deducting non -performing damages/penalties from payments otherwise due Vendor, nor City's failure or delay in Revision: 05/28/2024
notifying Vendor of the accrual of non-performance damages/penalties, shall be deemed a waiver of City's right to non-performance damages/penalties.
City's rights under this Section shall not be interpreted as precluding or limiting:
1) any right or remedy of City arising from an event of Vendor default other than a failure to complete the Work within the Agreement Time; or 2) City's right to order an acceleration, at Vendor's expense, o f performance of the Work to overcome delay, including, without limitation, a delay for which City has the right to assess and/or accrue non-performance damages/penalties.
The availability of non -performance damages/penalties shall not limit City's right to terminate the Vendor's performance and accrual and/or assessment of non-performance damages/penalties does not constitute a waiver of such rights.
