TASK IV – BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT
While the City anticipates completion of Tasks I through III of this scope of work within 12 - 15 months of project start, Task IV is expected to commence when the City begins preparing to invite bids for construction of the project. There will likely be an interval of time between completion of Task III and commencement of Task IV. To accommodate this time frame, the agreement for this project has been drafted with a three-year term, including the option to renew the agreement automatically for two additional one-year terms. The duration of Task IV will vary based on the extent of the project design.

10. BIDDING
• The Consultant(s) shall provide an electronic copy of the final approved plans. The electronic copy of the plans shall be provided as both AutoCAD files and PDF files, and the electronic copy of the specifications shall be provided in both Microsoft Word format and PDF format. • The City will be responsible for making copies of contract documents and will distribute to contractors.
• The Consultant(s) shall respond to questions that arise during the bid phase and prepare addendums which will be distributed by City as necessary.
• Bidding procedures will be the responsibility of the City. While the PS&E construction package is being advertised for bids, all questions concerning the intent shall be referred to City for resolution.

In the event that any items requiring interpretation in the drawings or specifications are discovered during the bidding period or bid opening, said items shall be analyzed by the Consultant(s) for decision by City as to the proper procedure required. Corrective action taken will either be in the form of an addendum prepared by the Consultant(s) and issued by City, or by a covering change order after the award to the construction contract.
• The Consultant(s) shall attend the pre-bid and pre-construction meetings upon notification by City.

During construction and if authorized by City, the Consultant(s) shall furnish all necessary drawings for corrections, requests for information (RFI) and change orders required by errors and omissions of the Consultant(s). The Consultant(s) may be assigned by City to review and approve submittals and shop plan drawings submitted by the construction contractor.

11. CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT
City will serve as the contract manager and direct liaison between the Consultant(s) and other city agencies and peer agencies. The Consultant(s) shall be responsible for project management activities throughout the life of the contract. The scope of activities includes, but is not limited to, coordinating and being responsible for scheduling meetings, managing the project schedule, preparing and distributing minutes, field reviews, tracking action items for City and the Consultant(s’) sub-contractors, and preparing all exhibits and presentations for City to submit to City Council, peer agencies and public meetings (as applicable).
• Consultant shall attend an in-person pre-construction meeting • Consultant shall respond to requests for information and prepare addendums and clarifications for landscape related work.
• Consultant shall review contractor submittals and shop drawings. • Consultant shall provide field observation for the landscape related work at the appropriate stages of construction
1047

SCOPE OF SERVICES

• Consultant shall review completed project and prepare a punch list of outstanding items related to landscape (one site visit).
• Consultant shall review the completed punch list items and provide a letter of substantial completion (one site visit).
• Consultant shall provide record drawing As-Built Plans. The As-Built plans will be based off known changes that were made in the field during the construction process and marked up redlines provided by the contractor. It is anticipated that three (3) Delta revised plans shall be included as part of this task. The plans will include any Delta revisions necessary showing the proposed changes.

This task assumes that the awarded contractor maintains accurate records of said changes for utilization by Consultant for the preparation of said As-Builts. This task does not include additional topographic survey field time but can be included under a separate Change Order if requested. Any additional topo work will not commence until such an agreement has been executed between the client and Consultant.
• Note: Although the Consultant may observe and discuss potential problems with the Client/ Owner or the Client/ Owner’s contractor(s), the site visits are not construction inspections or a guarantee that there will not be construction deficiencies. Contractor submittals, such as shop drawings and samples are reviewed by the Consultant only to determine if they conform to the Consultant’s design intent. Consultant’s review of submittals shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. Consultant’s review of Contractor’s payment applications to determine if the amount of work represented as complete is generally consistent with the Consultant’s observations during its site visits shall be subject to any noted qualifications by the Consultant. Client understands that the frequency of the Consultant’s site visits may limit Consultant’s ability to review certain payment applications. Consultant’s review shall not be a representation that Consultant has supervised the work, or that Consultant has reviewed how or for what purpose Contractor has used or intends to use Owner’s payments. • Note: Construction Support Services shall be performed on a time and material basis to the budget amount indicated in the fee proposal. Services beyond the budget amount in the fee proposal shall be provided as a contract amendment with the City.

Optional Additional Task Items:

OPTIONAL TASK 1 ADDITONAL TOPOGRAPHIC FIELD SURVEY
The RFP states the City will provide a topographic survey in CAD format. Subconsultant (MBI) shall perform and prepare a conventional field topographic survey to locate, measure and describe existing planimetric and topographic features including definitive tops/toes of slopes, curbs, gutters and utilities that require additional accuracy or that could be obscured from aerial imagery. This includes any areas being affected by the proposed additions to the project site as well as paths of travel are being improved.

The survey will be compiled as a CADD readable file to be used by Consultant(s).

Additional design surveys or aerial topographic surveys of the whole park parcel, if needed, will be completed under a separate additional fee agreement.
• Underground Utilities Note: This Topographic Survey will be conducted in accordance with accepted industry standards. Unless otherwise indicated, only above ground utility appurtenances shall be located by Survey methods. Underground utilities or structures shown on the Grading Plan shall be considered as being reproduced from records supplied by the City and will not be verified for line or grade in any way during the course of this Survey. Other utilities may exist on this site which are not a part of the scope of work described herein and therefore shall not be shown on the Grading Plan. 1048

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) will not be used in locating existing underground utilities. This can be proposed at a later date if it is determined that accurate locations of existing utilities via research with the City/County, utility purveyors and previous as-built plans within this area yield less than desirable results for approximating the locations of said utilities. Prior to any GPR work being performed, a separate Change Order to this agreement shall be executed by Consultant and client.

Deliverables:
o AutoCAD file of topographic field survey
OPTIONAL TASK 2 RECORD BASE MAP PREPARATION
To include and plot the record position of the project boundary in approximate orientation with a specific coordinate system, compiled aerial topographic base data or other overlay features, Subconsultant (MBI) shall perform the following tasks:
• MBI shall perform research of the available public records via on-line services to obtain maps and other items that affect the boundary location of the property; • MBI shall prepare a preliminary record data map to be used by the field survey crew to search for a sampling of boundary monuments;
• MBI shall perform a field survey of said monuments in order to establish orientation of the record survey data in relation to the coordinate system used in the topographic mapping; • MBI shall plot the record boundary lines on the aerial base map, with the understanding of the Client that said record boundary is NOT the result of a comprehensive boundary survey and analysis, and that it’s orientation may disagree substantially from the position determined by a full boundary survey and analysis;
• The budget for this scope of work is based upon an assumption that adequate and accessible boundary monumentation exists in the immediate project vicinity to control this record data survey. • Upon construction limits being defined, MBI shall plot only those easements affecting proposed limits of work. Said easements which are recorded and show up within a current and up-to-date Preliminary Title Report, a plat from the Title Company showing said easements affecting proposed work areas and all Schedule ‘B’ exceptions as stated in the Preliminary Title Report shall be plotted, if required.

Any cost associated with the preparation and processing of a Record of Survey Map, if one becomes necessary as a legal requirement, shall be covered by the City.

3.6.6 Indemnification.

3.6.6.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall defend (with counsel of City’s choosing and selected from Consultant’s insurance carrier’s panel counsel), indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, and representatives free and harmless from any and all third-party claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage or injury of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death, (in any manner (remove)) to the extent arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any intentionally wrongful or negligent acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct of Consultant, its officials, officers, employees, subconsultants or agents in connection with the performance of the Consultant’s Services, the Project or this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of all expert witness fees, attorney’s fees and other related costs and expenses except such loss or damage caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the City.

Consultant shall not subcontract any portion of the Services required by this Agreement, except as expressly stated herein, without prior written approval of City. Subcontracts, if any, shall contain a provision making them subject to all provisions stipulated in this Agreement. 1097

RE: Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design—2024-RFP-156 To the Evaluation Committee:

Interwest Consulting Group (Interwest) and the City of Palm Desert (City) have enjoyed a cooperative and constructive working relationship through the multiple contracts on which we have collaborated over recent years. We value our relationship with the City and continue to strive to provide services that will best serve the City, its visitors, and the community at large.

With nearly 400 employees, Interwest is large enough to serve your engineering and design requirements yet small enough to be responsive and tailor our services to the specific needs of the City. We are currently collaborating with the City on the North Palm Desert Community Park Project, providing similar services to those requested in the City’s RFP for Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design. Consequently, we are familiar with the City’s rules, regulations, codes, personnel, and stakeholders, and hope to continue to serve the City in a role in the future.

Our proven track record in park and trailhead design is demonstrated through successful projects such as the ongoing North Palm Desert Community Park, the near-complete Lake Dalwigk Park, and the completed Enchanted Hills Park.

For the City of Palm Desert Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design project, our multidisciplinary team offers a comprehensive, integrated approach that includes project management, construction oversight, public engagement, and sustainabilitydriven design. Leveraging our affiliation with SAFEbuilt, LLC, we have access to over 1,600 professionals nationwide, ensuring resource availability and top-tier expertise across disciplines.

Our methodology is rooted in the Plan, Execute, Control, Optimize (PECO) framework, which prioritizes efficiency, stakeholder collaboration, and quality assurance. With an emphasis on community-focused, resilient, and innovative design, our team is committed to delivering a project that enhances public connectivity, sustainability, and multi-generational engagement.

We acknowledge receipt of Addendum #1 dated February 24, 2025, and Addendum #2 dated February 27, 2025.

As President of Interwest, I am authorized to sign any agreements that may result from this proposal and will provide contract support to the proposed Interwest Team. Should any questions arise, please contact me at [email protected] or 619.372.9962.

Sincerely,

LAKE DALWIGK PARK
Vallejo, CA
Interwest is providing design, project management, construction management and inspection services to handle the full delivery of the $4.7 million Lake Dalwigk Project which was recently approved for a Clean CA Local Grant Program by Caltrans. The City’s Public Works Department has been managing this project in partnership with the VFWD and GVRD. These three agencies partnered to submit an application for Clean CA Local Grant Program funding. Each agency has various ownership and oversight of Lake Dalwigk Park and plays a role in the implementation of the Project.

This project provides for the improvement and beautification of Lake Dalwigk Park and enhanced community connections from the surrounding neighborhoods into the park. Specific elements include 3.8 acres of drought tolerant landscaping, replacement of broken concrete pedestrian path including grading for ADA access; adding prefabricated restrooms and connecting to existing utilities; extensive pathway and park lighting utilizing solar and/or low voltage LED lights. A paved bike/pedestrian path will provide ADA access across the park to the Curtola Park and Ride facility. A degraded and vandalized culvert with a non-ADA-compliant bridge will be restored to provide an attractive and accessible connection. The degraded sidewalk along Lemon Street will be replaced with decorative concrete, plus traffic calming measures including 11 decorative stamped crosswalks. Two new monument signs, picnic tables, trash cans, dog waste stations, shade structures, and drinking fountains will be installed.

ENCHANTED HILLS PARK
Perris, CA
Formerly 22 acres of blighted property, Enchanted Hills Park is now a robust park space for the City of Perris. The design team added active park play elements such as multiple playground structures, splash play, a skate spot, zip lines, BMX track, and basketball courts. More relaxed park features include trails and walking paths, shaded seating, picnic and barbecue areas, and a large lawn area. Users can appreciate local culture by viewing ceramic art tiles drawn by local elementary school children or visiting the painted rock murals. The design also incorporates onsite stormwater features, native plant gardens, and low water use irrigation to bolster long-term sustainability.

Interpretive signage throughout the park educates users on the importance of certain sustainable design elements throughout the site.

Enchanted Hills Park was selected as the 2022 California Park & Recreation Society (CPRS) Award of Excellence recipient in the Excellence in Design— Park Planning category. The CPRS awards program recognizes outstanding achievement in the areas of facility design, park planning, marketing and communication, and community improvement and programming. Enchanted Hills also won Midsize Park of the year through the American Public Works Association (APWA) and is the running for National Park of the Year through the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA).

NORTH BEACH OCEANSIDE PARK
North Beach, FL
The City of Miami Beach desired a park redesign from a previously denselyvegetated, 30-acre park to one that defines a new identity for the North Beach community. The design resulted in a necklace of ‘pods’ that operate as a spine to the project and serve to protect habitat and increase the City’s management of these natural resources.

Walkways are scaled to foster continuous activities in multiply configurable ways and augments the opportunities for resiliency design by strengthening the dune, utilizing passive green infrastructure and LID stormwater management strategies. The project also incorporates a rebranding of the City’s established beachfront with an on-grade beachwalk destined to be a terminus to the City’s transportation infrastructure.

The product developed for the Park is one that provides a transformative quality for the North Beach Community, enhances cultural celebration, and embodies the City’s values of purposeful environmental design and access to great public spaces.

BAMFORD PARK SYNTHETIC TURF FIELDS
Davie, FL
Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. was selected by the Town of Davie to provide design, and construction services to convert two existing natural grass playing fields (Bronco and Mustang) to artificial turf at Bamford Park. The Town indicated their desire to have the fields converted to slit-film artificial turf consisting using a three-layered heat reducing composite infill material of selected graded sand, S.B.R. crumb rubber, or similar material, and a top layer of composite material with heat reducing properties to provide for player safety and a more enjoyable experience during hot summer months.

The project included the design for installation of artificial turf and a drainage system for the Bronco and Mustang Fields, ADA compliant sidewalk improvements, grading, and retaining wall design. The fields will serve multiple sports, including full length soccer for 11 vs 11 (U13 onwards), two small soccer fields for 9 vs 9 (up to U12), and full men’s lacrosse.

The project construction cost was $2.4 million and construction services were completed in 2024. Phase 2 is currently underway and is near completion. 1110

Approach to Communication & Coordination
One of the keys to the efficient and successful flow
of information is clear, effective communication.

Everyone involved with a contract of this size
and scope must be aware of changes, progress,
and challenges. We commit to working with you
to determine the best ways to communicate the
right information to the right people at the right
time. Our priority is to ensure the best possible
experience working with our team—with minimum
impact on the City and its citizens.

Meetings are an integral part of the plan,
especially at contract start-up. Everyone involved
must be aware of progress and changes to expect
going forward. We will prepare communications
that can be shared with all City staff, detailing
what to expect during contract transition and
moving forward.

We work with you to develop a schedule and format to meet your needs for aggregate reporting. Report formats may include monthly, quarterly, and annual reports summarizing activity levels, adherence to performance metrics, and other items of special interest to the City. We ensure our work effort is clearly communicated to the City throughout the contract’s life, adjusting as necessary.

City of Palm Desert | Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design | 2024-RFP-156 STEP 1: DEFINING THE CRITICAL

PROJECT SUCCESS FACTORS
Our first step towards ensuring that we understand
the expectations of the project by the public, elected
officials, staff, and stakeholders is defining the critical success factors. This understanding underpins all
decisions that will be made and will help guide
the metrics for the project. The ability to derive this understanding comes from close collaboration and
open dialogue between the various parties shaping
and guiding the project. Specifically, in the case of
this park development, decisions about what the final
outcome of the project should be need to be made
through an ample exploration of all the options on
the table, tempered and informed by the direction
obtained from the City and an outreach component
that will include the community that will be impacted
and catered to. We recognize that, as it stands, the
selected park locations provide a great and unique
opportunity to accomplish the following:
• Provide connectivity to the direct, and indirect,
urban context;
• Establish an integrated, unique, and resilient
community-focused identity; and
• Activate the spaces with multi-generational and
community-strengthening opportunities.

Our goal is to align these opportunities with the
directives and values of the community, as they may
well serve as opportunities to augment what the
project has to offer and make it a key highlight project for the City.

STEP 2: DEPLOYING THE EXPERTISE

AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROJECT

TEAM MEMBERS TO INNOVATE
The seamless collaboration of the project team with City Staff will be the most successful driver for the success of the project. We have selected the appropriate team to
ensure that we deliver the best solutions to successfully satisfy this project. While having the right people is
important, we go a step further by capitalizing the
offerings of knowledge, experience, and ideas each
team member offers through a collaborative processes
of ideas and solutions development. This empowers
each team member and City Staff with the ability to
bring issues to the table to identify and resolve design conflicts early on. Over the life of the project, this results in a smoother transition from design to construction
and results in a dramatic reduction of conflicts during construction. It ensures that we meet the expectations
of the community, whom we are there to serve.

Building upon how the critical project success factors
are defined, Interwest will have routine collaborative, in-house design sessions to identify the various
opportunities where the metrics and desires for the
projects can be achieved, track progress, and ensure
that any competing and conflicting issues are met.

We would encourage the participation of City Staff
at key milestones to ensure that design decisions
and recommendations are being made in light of the
needs and desires of the City - factoring both issues of design, operations, and maintenance. It is through a
collaborative, real-time response design strategy that
the Team will generate workable solutions.

STEP 3: CHARTING A WORKFLOW AND

A CRITICAL PATH THAT IS CUSTOMIZED

AROUND THE SPECIFIC, UNIQUE

ISSUES OF THIS PROJECT
Upon award of the project, Interwest will meet with
City Staff to clarify specific requirements of the project scope (specifically the City’s vision, residents’ and
community requests, and commitments), and define
the measurable performative outcomes for design that
will deem the project a success. The Project Manager
(PM) will prepare and submit a project schedule to
the City. Once the detailed scope and schedule are
approved by the City, they will be provided to the
Interwest members at an internal “Kick-off Meeting.”
The primary purpose of the “Kick-off Meeting” will be
to accomplish the following:
• Clarify the Quality Control/Quality Assurance
requirements to be followed;
• Discuss the critical design elements affecting the
overall schedule; and
• Review methods to ensure effective
communication is maintained throughout the
design process.

In conjunction with all necessary design research,
document acquisition and inventorying, the project
team will perform a design survey while simultaneously
beginning the utility coordination process by sending
out utility information request letters to all utility owners within the project limits. Additionally, coordination

WORK PLAN - APPROACH
1119
THOUGHTFUL SOLUTIONS. THRIVING COMMUNITIES. 21
City of Palm Desert | Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design | 2024-RFP-156 with key stakeholders, facilitated by City Staff, may also occur at these early stages to introduce the Project
Team to the key community members and begin the
public outreach process.

Once all the information has been assembled through
the inventory and data collection phase, design
schematics and analyses will begin. Site visits to the
park will be conducted to confirm utility and survey
information, as well as to familiarize the Project Team with the controlling design elements and issues that
the community may have already expressed concerns
about. These periodic site assessments will be critical throughout the life of the design project.

A design strategy will be developed to convey a theme
that will support a branding strategy. Once approved,
that conceptual design will be further developed
through the schematic design phase where additional
detail and preliminary engineering will be conducted.

The schematic plans will be utilized to begin the preapplication process with the review and permitting agencies, as well as any relevant stakeholders. Once
City Staff and the stakeholders’ input have been
obtained, the Project Team will enter the design
development phase and permitting process.

Throughout the design development phase, all
intricacies of the design strategy will be further
development for constructability. The construction
plans will be developed incorporating all the design
components created and approved throughout the
project’s schematic and design development phases.

Once the client and regulatory agencies approve
the final design, the construction documents will
be finalized and issued for bidding. Throughout the
process, the Project Team will be involved in multiple
meetings with the City to ensure the project is moving
in the intended direction, conforms to required
standards, and remains on schedule.

STEP 4: FINANCIAL OVERSIGHT

STRATEGY
Understanding the financial model (where the funding
originates, the sources of expenditures, and any potential limitations placed on the design) is important to the
success of this project. To achieve this, the Team will carefully track the project construction’s estimate from the early stages of the project and iterate them with
additional detail commensurate with the level of details of the design or construction plans. This is critical as current market costs change daily and are severely impacted by
shortages of materials and interruptions to supply chains.

Additionally, any specific allocations will be identified and the specific improvements eligible to be expensed
to those sources will be earmarked and identified for
good project accountability. Appropriate contingencies
will be included and utilized during the early stage cost estimates to account for the level of detail that is not yet completed. The contingency will reduce as the plans
approach construction document quality.

STEP 5: PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Develop Project Action Plans and Milestone
Schedules: Actionable, result-driven project
management strategies guarantee success, as they
provide opportunities to quantify the efficiency and
goal-fulfillment rates of the Team. We will generate
these action plans by discipline and ensure that they
become an embodiment of the critical project success
factors identified together with staff during contract
negotiation and the kick-off process. Nevertheless,
in conducting preliminary research to prepare for this
RFP response, we have ascertained the following for
each component:

Urban Design and Community Outreach: The
Project Team will inventory the existing site
conditions, analyze the park design, and evaluate
opportunities to provide overall enhancements that
can improve the potential issues available through
design innovation opportunities, especially as they
impact fronting properties and nearby or adjacent
uses, such as the schools.

Civil/Roadway/Drainage Engineering: A possible
design consideration that is available within the
existing conditions includes the opportunity to
provide sustainable, low impact development
solutions in grading, drainage, and planting.

Existing conditions will be analyzed and assessed to
be brought into compliance as part of the project.

Additionally, close coordination and collaboration
with our Team’s traffic engineer and urban designer
will occur to thoroughly explore all opportunities
for streetscape improvement elements.

Traffic Control/Maintenance of Traffic: During
construction of the improvements is a critical
scheduling and design component.

Utility Coordination: Will rely on obtaining design
tickets and identifying Utility Agency Owners/
Providers (UAO) with facilities within the project
limits and initial field reviews conducted in an effort to identify potential conflicts or limitations. Early
1120
THOUGHTFUL SOLUTIONS. THRIVING COMMUNITIES. 22
City of Palm Desert | Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design | 2024-RFP-156 and proactive communication and coordination
with the UAOs is a critical element in this process,
as sometimes the UAOs can suffer from delays in
responsiveness. The coordination effort will focus
on early identification, conflict avoidance, and
planning for utility adjustments, and relocations as
needed. The Project Team fully understands the
necessary commitment and level of effort involved
to successfully complete this task so it does not
hinder the design process or construction schedule.

Traffic Engineering: The action items that will be
addressed under this component will revolve
around ensuring that the design solutions are
compliant with applicable standards, where needed,
and where opportunities for innovation can be
accommodated. These will include considerations
on design strategies for traffic calming, the design
requirements for incorporating bike usage, and
safety enhancements for pedestrian connectivity.

Lighting: The parks will be in need of lighting.

Pedestrian-scale lighting, performative lighting,
and up-lighting for landscaping and street lighting
will all be considered for their practicality and for
their adherence to an overall design aesthetic
package to achieve a new image for the park.

Our team has experience coordinating for service
point upgrades or relocations, where necessary.

Additionally, selection of efficient LED fixtures with
full cut-off and ease of maintenance and upkeep
will be an important consideration, while keeping
in mind the brand and identity the City envisions.

Planting and Experience Design: The planting
design palette will include considerations for
the human experience and the recognizable,
memorable quality that can be achieved through
good design articulation. In developing the
design, the Project Team will take special care to
evaluate green design and sustainable alternatives,
informed by specialized research on the site’s
conditions, hydrology, and site characteristics. An
important objective will be to implement landscape
strategies and streetscape improvements that
foster increased pedestrian safety, promote good
tree and canopy coverage and health, and upgrade
community aesthetics that employ the practices of
water conservation (through the use of xeriscape
principles and appropriate plant detailing to ensure
proper root-growth and preventative infrastructure
impacts), as well as ensuring that the benefits of
sustainable stormwater management practices
through the use of landscaped bio-swales, pervious
pavement systems, and other strategies can be
capitalized upon. Additionally, the careful selection
of planting to minimize the need for irrigation
or long-term maintenance will be supported by
prioritizing plant species that are native and/or
have extreme- and high-tolerances for drought.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control: Throughout the
design process, the Team will monitor and report
on the progress, schedule, and cost estimates.

Additionally, throughout the design process, the
Team will implement our Quality Assurance/Quality
Control process. This process consists of a peer
review procedure, where a design group of internal
third-party, in-house professional designers not
directly involved with the project will review the
plan documents with a fresh perspective. They will
make observations and generate comments that
will need to be further addressed and resolved
by the Project Team. The multi-disciplined review
process also consists of a constructability review by
a member of the Construction Department. This
review ensures that the plans make sense from
a construction perspective and are intended to
minimize potential conflicts, errors, or omissions in
the field during construction.

STEP 6: CONSTRUCTION AND

PROJECT CLOSE-OUT
Bidding and Construction Administration: The Interwest
Team has experience assisting our clients in all aspects of bidding, including assistance during bidding,
attending the pre-bid meeting, creating minutes,
addenda preparation, responses to contractor RFIs,
and review of the bid package for recommendation of
the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

As the design professional of record, we will provide the necessary support to provide post-design services. Once the contract is awarded, post-design services include
a hand-off meeting with the City and construction
administration leader, a pre-construction meeting with
the contractor, review and approval of shop drawings,
responses to RFIs, and support to the Construction
Project Manager as-needed during construction.

The Interwest Construction Team is prepared and
committed to provide expert services such as
contract negotiation, implementing quality control
and assurance programs, contract document review,
shop drawing logging and review, administration
of contractor RFIs, observation of field activity to
1121
THOUGHTFUL SOLUTIONS. THRIVING COMMUNITIES. 23
City of Palm Desert | Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design | 2024-RFP-156 ensure construction is completed in accordance with
construction documents, environmental and NPDES
monitoring, field report and documentation review, asbuilt review and record drawing preparation, agency/ permit closeout documentation, and certifications.

Project Close-Out: After substantial completion,
each discipline from the Interwest Team may conduct
an on-site inspection and create a punch list log for
the Construction Project Manager. The Construction
Project Manager will then review the log, compile all
disciplines, and submit to the contractor for action/
correction. Simultaneously, the Project Team may work
with the contractor to review the project as-builts,
warranty submittals, as well as any operating/owner’s
manuals required for the specific product. After
reviewing the final, approved as-builts, the Design
Team will work towards submitting the record drawings
to the permitting agencies in order to close out any/all open permits.

It is important to note that the Interwest Design Team’s philosophy and corresponding process to assure
quality in all our designs and work products integrates the following key components:

Initial Quality of Design: The first step of the QA/
QC process is to ensure that the design is of a
“high initial quality”. In other words, the preliminary design is one that has been carefully considered
and analyzed by an experienced park designer.

Multi-discipline Peer Review: The next step in
the QA/QC process is the performance of a multidiscipline peer review. This phase is undertaken by a team of designers from various disciplines within
the core team so that potential improvements
or innovative ideas can be introduced to further
improve the initial design.

Design-Decision Documentation: Documentation
is an important part of all projects. It is critically
important to fully document the assumptions,
reasoning, metrics, and calculations that lead up to
key design decisions made on a project, particularly
if safety issues are involved. The documentation
not only provides good records, but presents
another opportunity to ensure that the project is
well-aligned with the goals and objectives that it
needs to meet.

Constructability Review: The constructability of a
project is an important facet to consider during each
phase of design development. When a preliminary
design is nearing substantial completion, an inhouse constructability review by our Construction Team is completed.

Value Engineering: All projects will require some
value engineering. An integral part of the design
process is to produce a cost-effective project for
the owner and/or client at all stages to eliminate
the need to perform large component cuts at the
end of the project. This is also important to ensure
that the Team manages the expectations of the
community and that the team makes promises that
can be delivered.

Schedule and Budget: Budget and schedule
controls and QA/QC practices are essential with
any project. Interwest’s many repeat clients attest
to tour capabilities to meet time and cost budgets,
often completing projects ahead of schedule and
below budget. We believe that in addition to
using state-of-the-art estimating and scheduling
software, a well-trained and experience team of
Project Managers is essential in predicting where
problems may occur or arise so we can be proactive
in addressing their potential.

Controlling Costs to Minimize RFIs and Change
Orders: Conflicts during construction and the
generation of RFIs and change orders are generally
a result of either a lack of proper and adequate
investigation of the site’s constructability issues
or a lack of adequate coordination among and
between the various parties contributing to the
development of the overall construction set. The
Interwest Team takes a ‘head-on’ approach to both
of these potential conflict areas by understanding
that they are weak-points that could potentially
result in costly corrections during construction.

From the onset, our approach to the development
of proper and adequate design investigations is
fundamental to setting the process on the correct
course. Thorough and adequate surveying, utility
documentation, and sub-surface investigations are
an absolute essential component of the technical
foundation of any project. While design ideas and
iterations are being developed by the creative
design team, utility coordination, cost explorations
with utility companies and infrastructure analysis are
conducted to evaluate their impact on the future
design and cost. This will identify opportunities to
highlight potential risk factor in the implementation
of the project.
1122
THOUGHTFUL SOLUTIONS. THRIVING COMMUNITIES. 24
City of Palm Desert | Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design | 2024-RFP-156 Once the project development enters the
technical plans development phase, collaborative
design meetings are held routinely with all parties
involved. The creative design team will be present
to ensure that the vision of the project remains
integral to the design solution while scenariobuilding for each of the various conflict areas are highlighted and resolved among the various
contributing professional disciplines. Depending
on the complexity of the project, plans are routed
at 30-60-90% intervals (minimum) of development
through our in-house quality control process where
third-party reviewers from various disciplines assess
and evaluate the information on the plans and seek
for potential conflicts so they can be identified and
resolved. At times, these third-party reviewers are
in-house staff that are not directly related to the
given project’s team. Since the Interwest Team has
a large contingent of municipal plans reviewers on
hand serving various different municipalities, these
key individuals are generally the ones reviewing the
plans at each of the 30-60-90% intervals. However,
for more complex projects, before plans get to
the formal 30-60-90% interval reviews, interim
‘standing plans review’ meeting are held where
process plans are reviewed collectively among
the technical design team in anticipation of the
formal review and to which at least one third-party
engineer is involved.

These internal processes are a large contributor
to minimize and eliminate potential conflicts in
construction that are design related. RFIs and change
orders cannot realistically be entirely omitted from
any project. Contractors will always submit RFIs in
a persistent search to minimize expenses, facilitate
their constructability, and maximize their profitability.

Additionally, sometimes because of expedited
scheduling or lack of initial resources on the client’s side, corners may be cut at the initial investigation
phases of the project that ultimately result in unforeseen circumstances during construction. While either of
these cannot be entirely omitted, our in-house process
creates enough familiarity with all project components
by the various contributing team-members that
resolutions can be addressed promptly and in a manner
that is generally economically favorable to the client.

COST ESTIMATING
Interwest’s predominant services have been entirely
public-sector driven. As such, we fully understand
that cost overruns are a huge burden on the public
procurement process and our clients’ ability to deliver a project promised to the community within the allocated
adopted budget. We approach cost estimating with the
understanding that it plays a viral role in the success of a construction project and understand that proper cost
estimating can:
• Improve plans;
• Save money;
• Allow for better bid comparisons; and
• Reduce risk.

Construction costs during the design phase should be
as closely aligned to the expenses that the potential
contractor will have, as opposed to general ballpark
costs arrived at by unit costs based on areas. These
costs should reflect:
• Contingencies and Variances to cover
unexpected conditions that can arise or to cover
cost increases that can result from change orders,
delays, inclement weather, or market volatility.
• Equipment mark-ups to reflect the cost of any
specialized equipment that may be needed, given
the uniqueness of the project.
• Indirect Costs to reflect general conditions,
permit and inspection fees, administrative
expenses, overhead, insurance requirements,
bonding, security, and utilities.
• Labor Costs impacted by locally driven wages
and their related costs factored by the number
of workers and the necessary hours of work,
including overtime needed to meet the clientdetermined schedule. • Materials Costs that require a key understanding
of how market fluctuations and cost volatility that
can be accommodated.
• Professional Fees for any incidental specialty
engineering components of any project element.
• Quality-related Costs that impact the budget,
understanding that top-of-the-line finishes and
material selections, superior amenities can deliver
an aesthetically impressive design but generally at
a more expensive cost.
• Other incidental but critical expenses assessed
on a case-by-case basis, such as environmental
remediation, demolition, disposal, or clientmandated requirements that impact construction, such as project phasing.
1123
THOUGHTFUL SOLUTIONS. THRIVING COMMUNITIES. 25
City of Palm Desert | Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design | 2024-RFP-156 Costs are generally arrived at through careful research and at the confluence of various sources, depending
on the specifics of the project. In the past, Interwest has relied on three (3) key sources:

Historical Data: Many of our cost estimation methods
rely on historical data, such as the cost per square foot, the average labor costs per hour for trade specialties, and the units of work, such as the cost per element.

Because Interwest has various ongoing projects in
construction at any given time, in addition to having
a strong and robust Construction Engineering
and Inspection (CEI) department overseeing the
construction of projects designed by others, our
capacity to keep accurate and current tallies on costs is a resource that has proven reliable.

Cost Research: To access the most current cost data,
Interwest has relied on gathering contemporaneous
cost checks to increase accuracy. This can be achieved
through our long-standing and working relationships
with various construction companies with whom we
have performed past work with through design-build
partnerships. Where these don’t provide a reliable
cost data-point, we will rely on publications such as
the Walker’s Building Estimator’s Reference Book and
industry other databases, such as RSMeans, where
they perform cost research by frequently sampling
rates in hundreds of locations for labor, materials,
equipment, and contractor overhead. We have also
relied on incorporating current cost indexes which
reflect trends in prices for various construction inputs, as well as productivity and inflation via sources such
as the Turner Building Index modified for localized
regional variances.

Expert Judgment: The ability to quickly tap into
expert judgment of our highly skilled and extensively
experienced staff, either internally within any of our
subsidiaries or via our parent company SAFEbuilt,
gives us an opportunity safe-check costs and methodselection that impact costs.

Interwest always relies on bottom-up construction cost
estimating strategies, where we calculate total cost by adding the cost of each input on a construction project.

This may seem taxing for the early stages of design
iteration, but when accompanied by a heightened
contingency multiplier, it generates a reliable and
predictable forecaster of the eventual costs. These
contingency multipliers vary depending on the stage
of project development:
• 45% during early conceptual design development
phases
• 40% during schematic design development
phases
During Design Development:
• 30% at the 30% construction plans iteration phase
• 20% at the 60% construction plans iteration phase
• 15% at the 90% and 100% construction plans
iteration phase
These percentages are our norm, but they can be
modified depending on the complexity of the project.

Additionally, given the recent volatility in market
costs for materials, Interwest does not recommend
calculating the contingency for construction at less
than 15%, even for small projects.

To improve the accuracy of our estimates, Interwest
can employ the utilization of a three-point estimate
methodology, whereby high-, mid-, and low-point
unit costs are collected to generate a range of costs
that can help guide design decision making. This has
been incredibly valuable in some of our more complex
parks and open space projects where community input
requests don’t align with the budget allocation that
has been established by the government agency. As
such, they are an essential tool not only to forecast the potential cost of specific components, but to assist
in conflict facilitation, community buy-in, and design
resolution through the public outreach and design
adoption processes.

LARGE SITE DEVELOPMENT
+ LINEAR TRAIL PROJECTS

WORK PLAN
The following work plan is building on the framework for small site developments or park and playground improvements, and reflects the greater complexity of large site development and linear trail projects. These projects generally carry a higher degree of public engagement and permitting requirements, because of their expansive nature or because of the levels of complexities embedded in reconciling all the use & programing, infrastructure, and specific site considerations. It establishes all the components and elements that we would tailor for each project in the custom work plan that we would develop around the specifics of each unique project.

It establishes clear processes—from data collection and community engagement through construction and closeout—while acknowledging that each individual project will bring its own unique conditions, stakeholders, and regulatory considerations.

Once a specific project is identified, the exact details of scoping, timelines, permitting requirements, and partner agencies will be refined to ensure that the work plan aligns with the project’s particular needs, goals, and local context.

We have included a graphic that demonstrated the chronological order in which these large-scope projects are developed and delivered. Our approach is to incorporate the notions and deliverables of the small-scope work plan into this larger, iterative framework.

City of Palm Desert | Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design | 2024-RFP-156 EXAMPLE SCOPE:

The following is an example of how we would structure
a project for a playground replacement addition of
new water feature, shade, or other scope element as
noted in the “Key Design Needs” matrix in the RFP to
arrive at pricing for this proposal. Once selected, the City and the Interwest Team will refine and tailor the
scope of work to the specific needs of the project and
the site location.

Parks
The initial phase will involve the demolition of the
existing amenities that will need to be replaced
(these could include play areas, fields, etc), ensuring the responsible disposal of all materials. Following
a comprehensive site assessment, the suitability
any existing locations that will be rehabilitated for
a new playground will be determined. Our team will
leverage our expertise to explore alternative locations if necessary, prioritizing optimal integration within the park’s existing landscape.

Central to all new restrooms and playground projects
is the implementation of a universally accessible play
environment. The design will prioritize access for
children of all abilities, integrating inclusive pathways, ramps, and play structures that adhere to current ADA
compliance standards. To ensure year-round usability,
the playscape will incorporate a shade plan utilizing a combination of shade sails, strategically placed trees, and potentially other creative elements like pergolas.

Prior to beginning the Construction Documents
phase, the Interwest Team will present the City with
a comprehensive design package. This package will
include two distinct design concepts, each crafted
to prioritize inclusivity, while offering a unique play experience. Each concept will showcase a variety
of play equipment specifically chosen to cater to a
wide range of ages and developmental abilities. The
design will prioritize fostering social interaction and imaginative play, transforming the space into a vibrant hub for childhood development and community
connection. Through the selection process, the City
will have the opportunity to provide valuable feedback
and collaboratively choose the concept that best aligns with their vision for the park.

Specific to trailhead design, this framework serves as
an initial proposal, and upon selection, will be refined and customized in collaboration with the City and the
Interwest team to meet the specific demands and
unique characteristics of the project site.

Trailheads
The initial phase of the project will focus on the
evaluation and potential modification of existing
infrastructure at the proposed trailhead location. This may include the removal of outdated facilities and
the responsible recycling or disposal of materials.

A thorough site analysis will be conducted to assess
the current conditions and determine the feasibility
of enhancing the existing trailhead or selecting a new
site altogether. Our team will employ our extensive
expertise to ensure the selected site optimally
integrates with the surrounding environment and
existing network of trails.

Key to the development of the trailhead is creating
a welcoming and functional entry point to the trails.

The design will incorporate essential amenities such
as parking, directional signage, and seating areas. It
will also feature sustainable practices such as native
landscaping and stormwater management systems to
minimize environmental impact.

Prior to advancing to the construction documents
phase, the Interwest Team will present the City with
a comprehensive design package. This package will
feature two innovative design concepts that focus on
accessibility, safety, and enhancing the user experience.

Each concept will propose solutions for effective
wayfinding, emergency access, and amenities tailored
to the needs of a diverse range of trail users, from casual walkers to seasoned hikers. The designs will aim to
encourage engagement with the natural environment,
promoting both educational and recreational uses of
the trailhead.

Standard Process
Through a collaborative review process, the City
will have the opportunity to provide feedback and
select the design that best aligns with their goals for enhancing community access to natural spaces and
promoting outdoor activities.

The following is a description of the proposed
improvements to be provided:

1. Survey of the entire park area to support both

Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
(H) Requirements Not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

Note: We have insurance to cover all of our business; we allocate that by contract. You may receive the benefit of higher limits or not, depending on the number and nature of claims filed.
