Neither the CITY nor any of its elected or appointed officials, officers, agents, employees, or volunteers makes any representation that the types of insurance and the limits specified to be carried by Consultant under this Agreement are adequate to protect Consultant.
If Consultant believes that any such insurance coverage is insufficient, Consultant shall provide, at its own expense, such additional insurance as Consultant deems adequate.
5.2. Endorsements. The commercial general liability insurance policy and business automobile liability policy shall contain or be endorsed to contain the following provisions as worded below:
(a) Additional insureds: "The City of Placentia and its elected and appointed boards, officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers are addition- al insureds with respect to: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf of the Consultant pursuant to its contract with the City; products and completed operations of the Consultant; premises owned, occupied or used by the Consultant; automobiles owned, leased, hired, or borrowed by the Consultant."
(b) Notice: "Consultant shall provide immediate written notice if (1) any of the required insurance policies is terminated; (2) the limits of any of the required polices are reduced; (3) or the deductible or self-insured retention is increased. In the event of any cancellation or reduction in coverage or limits of any insurance, Consultant shall forthwith obtain and submit proof of substitute insurance.

(c) Other insurance: "The Consultant's insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects the City of Placentia, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers.

6 Rev. 08/2017
(d) Any failure to comply with the reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the City of Placentia, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers.
(e) The Consultant's insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer's liability.
5.3. Deductible or Self -Insured Retention. If any of such policies provide for a deductible or self-insured retention to provide such coverage, the amount of such deductible or self-insured retention shall be approved in advance by City.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
The success of RJM Design Group can best be measured by our numerous long-term relationships with our valued clients. In order to foster these relationships, our goal is to produce a high-quality product in the most effective manner possible by utilizing our proven QA/QC procedures.
Our Quality Assurance Program is process -oriented and begins with experienced staff along with our firm's commitment to ongoing education. Our experience is based on hundreds of successful projects and gratified clients. Our staff is encouraged to continually pursue expanding their current knowledge base in order to allow us to be at the forefront of our industry. Continuing education is pursued in the following areas:
AIA - American Institute of Architects
ISA CA - International Society of Arborists, Certified Arborist ASLA - American Society of Landscape Architects
CPSI - Certified Playground Safety Inspector
LEED - Sustainable Practices
PSMJ - Project Management
QSP & QSD - Qualified SWPPP Practitioner and Developer
STMA - Sports Turf Managers Association
In addition to our well-educated and seasoned professionals is our thorough understanding of the project development process. This allows us to share information with our consultant team and clients so that our projects evolve in a proactive and well -orchestrated manner. Communication among staff, team members and client include the following project parameters:
Project Goals - clearly identified.
Program Needs - confirmed with the client.
Schedule - a project schedule is established at the onset which outlines the process evolution, major milestones, submittal dates, reviews, approvals, bid, construction, project opening, one- year follow up/review.
Budget - understanding the budget is critical to a project's success. The project budget is clarified (client staff, consultant fees, entitlement costs, construction costs, etc.) versus construction budget.
Construction Estimates - RJM maintains an extensive library of unit costs that are accuired through our numerous public bids, as well as from specialty consultants and indepencent cost estimators. This allows our preliminary opinion of probable construction costs to accurately reflect the anticipated contractors' bids.
Our office environment is an open studio that allows for continual sharing of ideas and collaboration between our experienced principals, project managers, and staff members. We believe that this interaction promotes effective communication that is vitally important to the success of every project.
Team meetings are scheduled at regular intervals to ensure that accurate communication on key project aspects is shared and understood.
Noteworthy to RJM and unique when compared to other firms, is that the same design team, individual staff members responsible for all preliminary design phases, will continue on and retain responsibility for the preparation of the final construction documents. We believe that this approach allows for a more consistent and accurate method of ensuring that all of those special details discussed in the design phase are carried throughout the final construction document process. This method is fundamental for maintaining quality assurance, limiting change orders, and effectively controlling construction costs.
The continual monitoring of project evolution provides the ability to confirm that appropriate progress is being made on an ongoing basis. This review is instrumental in confirming that project goals, program needs, schedules and budgets are as intended and that unforeseen changes, "curve balls", do not occur inappropriately.

QUALITY CONTROL PLAN
Our open office "bullpen" setting is especially conducive to regular milestone reviews and monitoring of a project. This review plays a central role in our quality control effort. The importance of plan review, checking, and cross-checking cannot be overemphasized, given the complexity and time constraints under which construction documents are often produced. Our review benchmarks include:
• Documents are comprehensively checked at key milestones and regular intervals. • One person checks all important dimensions, gradients and utility infrastructure. • The person responsible for the drawings reviews the specifications, and the specifier reviews the drawings.
• Regular consultant team meetings are held to review the documents produced by each for coordination (utility, civil, electrical, etc.)
• The Principal Landscape Architect will be ultimately responsible for all work produced under his or her direction. A constant review process is implemented in all phases of the work.
The Client is involved in reviewing plans at regular intervals and approving the construction documents before they are issued for bid.
Another integral component in our quality control process is the utilization of our "RJM lessons learned checklist." This checklist contains the learning experiences that we have encountered over 34 years of project development. It is a useful tool that allows us to systematically review our work and that of our consultant team to ensure that we are applying the collaborative experience learned to the benefit of our projects.
In addition to our in-house quality control efforts, we are also continually learning and applying the ongoing "lessons learned" from our outside plan check services provided to multiple agencies. This methodical approach to outside projects gives us the unique advantage of reviewing our own plans and specifications with an impartiality that allows for a fresh and unbiased evaluation.
COMMUNICATIONS APPROACH
An assigned Project Manager from RJM Design Group for the specific project will be the main point of contact with the City for the life of the project. RJM Design group will act as the project ead and main coordinator for all project deliverables. All communications from sub consultants will be conducted through RJM Design Group.
1. Consultants can participate in online virtual meetings via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or other video conferencing applications. Meetings to be held at regular intervals during the early phases of the project and continue on an as -needed basis thereafter to assess progress and provide direction throughout the performance of the services and preparation of the project deliverables.
2. RJM will prepare all meeting agendas for identified scheduled meetings with the City and provide a summary of key issues with action items (meeting notes) discussed at each meeting.

Project Summary
Built approximately 35 years ago, Yorba Linda Adventure Play area was due for an upgrade. A new building and public health codes needed to be addressed as well as the aging infrastructure. The park was just used for summer camps, but the City wanted to make most of the park and open it to the public through out the year. The City was interested in modernizing the facility, but wanted to preserve past elements of the existing park, such as the fort building area. Outdated elements would be transformed into new features that both the public and summer camps could enjoy.
Existing features like fort building, wiffleball play and a waterslide were kept in the new design. New features include a spray play area, elevated tree houses with connecting catwalks, a zipline, and a large shade structure were implemented. The City performed two public input workshops as well as a workshop for the summer camp participants to gain design ideas. The City and RJM Design Group then combined all the input gathered at the workshops into the final design which kept the fort building area (for summer camps) separate from the public area of the new park.

Originally built in 1988, Pavion Park was Orange County's first Accessible Playground and was recently updated to a Universal Access Play Area. The park is adjacent to Phillip J. Reilly School, a regional school for programs focused on children with disabilities.
With the mixture of play elements and shaded seating areas amongst the landscaping, the playground was transformed into a barrier -free play area full of learning experiences. The park has incorporated educational opportunities based upon features of the nearby Oso Creek.
The new park features three (3) different types of swings, a climbing boulder, benches, and picnic tables. Unique features such as animal footprints in the resilient surfacing lead you from an information panel to a cut out of the animal itself. The park also includes a sensory maze providing lessons on numbers, colors, shapes, and the alphabet.

Project Summary
Molina Park is a three -acre neighborhood park that shares its western border with the Dominguez Gap Wetlands Trail along.the Los Angeles River. The park answers the City of Long Beach's need for additional neighborhood park space.
Park amenities include an innovative play area, colorful wind sails that offer shade and interest, a state of the art organic fill synthetic turf soccer field, a group fitness equipment area with individual fitness stations along a loop walking trail, parking for fifty cars, restroom building, picnic tables, low water use trees and shrubs and access to the adjacent bike trail.
The design character will attract the active neighborhood user and soccer families, as well as the passive park user seeking nature and green space within an urban setting. The park was dedicated to the late C. David Molina, an emergency room physician who treated many low income, uninsured residents in the community.

Project Summary
Thanks to community input, the Mission Viejo Downtown core area will be redeveloped to include a walkable village that directly connects Mission Viejo's Library and City Hall to Oso Creek and the Oso Creek Trail network. The property's close proximity to Oso Creek provides a great opportunity to "Connect to the Creek", which is one of the Core Area Vision Plan's core guiding principles.
This vibrant paseo will introduce new outdoor lifestyle experiences in dining, retail, entertainment, as well as a space for public art and live entertainment. The Mission Viejo community believes this new paseo will become a lifestyle destination for locals and visitors with ample leisure activities.
Construction for the revitalized Mission Viejo Downtown area is set to begin in 2024.

Orange County's newest community, Rancho Mission Viejo, is located off Ortega Highway in South Orange County. It is home to a master planned 30 acre sports park unlike any other. Nestled in a natural rolling southern California landscape setting the environmental design of Esencia Sports Park is modeled after ranch industrialized facilities with board form buildings, steel I-beam shade structures, lighting, and landscape.
This rustic sports park offers both private and public amenities including: two (2) baseball fields, one (1) softball field, custom designed restroom and concessions building, one (1) synthetic multi -use field, one (1) playground, two (2) dedicated tennis and eight (8) dedicated pickle ball courts, and parking. Additional passive support amenities include hiking trails, exercise stations, and picnicing.
The sports park also offers community aquatic facilities overlooking the park complete with restrooms, a splash pad, lap swim lanes, open recreational swimming, as well as BBQ and cabana lounge areas. The site itself was designed to eliminate the need for expensive retaining walls while maximizing the buildable area through terraced pads and elevated concourses. The resulting design created hillside terraced seating, and elevated concessions allowing for maximum spectator viewing opportunities in a cost effective manner.
The new Esencia Sports Park is designed to fulfill much of the recreational needs identified for this new community.

Project Summary
The Lake Forest Sports Park Master Plan included the acquisition and compilation of four separate parcels of land totalling 100 acres. The park itself covers 86.2 acres with 57 acres of terraced pads devoted to sports field uses. Recreation elements include five ball fields, two basketball courts, two tot lots, two restroom/concession buildings, batting cages, two synthetic soccer fields, 230,000 SF natural grass area capable of multiple field layouts for tournaments/events, as well as an exercise par course.
The sports park also includes a 25,000 SF Recreation Center as well as a stage area and support infrastructure throughout a 100,000 SF natural grass area designed for large community events.
In addition to the active recreation amenities, sustainable design elements have been woven into the fabric of the sports park. Bio -retention areas collect run off water and treat it before it is released into adjacent streams. Recycled water is used in the restroom buildings reducing the demand on potable water.
Additionally, Glass Creek has been designed to preserve all natural systems that previously occupied the site before the park's development.
