RE: Request for Proposal No. 19-090
Professional Land Surveying Services
Dear Mr. Thomas:

Towill, Inc. (Towill) is pleased to present our team’s qualifications and proposal to provide as needed surveying support to the City of Santa Ana (City) in response to your Request for Proposal (RFP). Since 1955, Towill has provided highly specialized geomatics services to clients throughout California. We are proud of the work we have accomplished and the relationships we have built along the way, and we are eager to establish a strong working relationship with the City.

Who We Are
Towill is a surveying and mapping firm; this is our sole focus and has been for the past 64 years. This is what we do, all we do, and we do it all in-house. We are not a division of a larger engineering company where priorities and resources can shift. We do not have an internal client base (other engineers) that can provide us with work when projects slow down. Since our clients can choose who they hire, we must strive for excellence in all we do.

As a professional services firm and as individuals, our number one goal is to provide our clients with on time, first time right project deliverables. Since we are solely focused on geomatics services, we attract and retain a core group of passionate staff and focus our investments on new survey equipment and the latest software.

Towill’s key personnel who will be assigned to this contract have on average 27 years of professional experience in field surveying, photogrammetric mapping, remote sensing, and GIS.

We take pride in designing cost-efficient technical approaches that continually meet or exceed our clients’ requirements for every project assignment. Our goal is never to just complete a survey/mapping design task, but to provide valuable geospatial information that will be used by engineers and others to improve the places we work and live. Whether it is for a small boundary survey or a large topographic base map, we understand that we are an important and valuable part of the overall project.

Expert Project Management
Towill has assembled a versatile team with exceptional technical experience and professional qualifications, and a commitment to responsiveness to meet your objectives. Leading the team as Project Manager will be James Rios, PLS. James is a Professional Land Surveyor with 21 years of experience as a Project Manager, Project Surveyor, and Party Chief. James has well-rounded experience with a heavy focus on projects for Southern California public sector clients, including but not limited to the Cities of Irvine, Yucaipa, Chino, local transportation agencies such as OCTA, RCTC, SBCTA, and the Port of Long Beach. Many of James’ project assignments have been completed according to Caltrans specifications with MicroStation V8 deliverables.

for various public-sector clients provides us with working knowledge of local agency systems, procedures, and expectations. We excel at managing multiple projects simultaneously because we know that our clients depend heavily on the deliverables that we produce to
perform their planning, design, and construction tasks.

Towill has the staff, experience, and resources needed to complete your tasks on time and on budget.

Within the past ten years, Towill has successfully held on-call survey and mapping contracts with a wide variety of public sector clients of all sizes, including the cities of Chino, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Long Beach,
Moreno Valley, Pomona, Pasadena, San Diego, and
Vista, and the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino.

This extensive previous experience is proof that we
understand our primary role as a consultant: to provide a pool of resources—personnel and equipment— that our clients can call upon to fulfill surveying and mapping requirements as necessary.

Our DBE Commitment
Towill is proud of our firm’s commitment to the affirmative action (including SLBE/ELBE/DBE/MBE/ WBE/DVBE/OBE) programs and being an equal
opportunity employer. We have successfully mentored
small and disadvantaged businesses through the
Caltrans’ Calmentor Program. This statewide California program is designed to encourage and support small businesses through voluntary partnerships with
established firms. Caltrans provides training, facilitates the relationships, and provides opportunities to network with additional consultants. Goals are set in
a Memorandum of Understanding; and upon documentation and goal achievement by both the Mentor and Protégé firms, the firms are graduated. Towill has
graduated multiple small firms from this program.

Project Understanding
Towill completely understands the required details regarding the possible variety of the City’s public works projects, including the technical requirements, scope
of work, schedule, project Area of Interest (AOI), and
the required deliverables associated with survey task
order. Moreover, Towill understands that the primary
on-call professional land survey services required by
the City of Santa Ana may include:

1. Research and Data Collection

2. Vertical & Horizontal Control Surveys

3. Prepare Legal Descriptions, Plats, and Maps

4. Monument Perpetuation/Preservation

5. Map Checking Services

6. Construction Staking Services

7. Photogrammetric/LiDAR Surveys

8. Topographic Surveys

9. Boundary and Right of Way Surveys
The overall Project Area of Interest (AOI) is approximately 27.5 square miles and includes the corporate boundaries of the City of Santa Ana. In addition, we
understand that one of the primary goals of the program is to provide the City’s Public Works Department with timely/precision professional surveying services
that are tailored to fit the objective of each project
assignment.

Because surveying, mapping, and GIS are the only
services we offer, on-call service contracts represent
a significant portion of Towill’s business model. In fact, across our firm, we currently manage over 50 different
on-call surveying/mapping contracts for public sector
clients and utility companies of all sizes.

It is important to note that we prioritize all of our on call contracts equally. New task orders are inserted
into our workflow as they arise and are completed
as delivery schedules dictate. We achieve very high
levels of client satisfaction by maintaining the critical internal communication necessary to keep on top of
task budgets and schedules, shift workloads across
office locations as needed to maximize efficiency, and
rapidly re assign available resources to meet project
commitments.

Details on the nine primary land surveying services
noted above can be found in the Scope of Services
and Schedule section of this proposal.

Proactive Task Order Management
Our approach for all the work that we do always starts
with communication. Before any work begins, our
project managers strive to learn about your expectations for each task order, your schedule and budget requirements, and any other potential issues. We then
develop a concise Scope of Work, cost estimate, and
schedule which, when accepted by the City, becomes
the basis for the work. No work will be performed until the City has authorized it via the issuance of a
Notice-to-Proceed (NTP).

Upon approval of the task order, the team will have
a kickoff meeting to focus on delivering a consistent,
Understanding of Need

efficient, and quality deliverable. Instructions to the project team will be developed and distributed to
all members. These instructions may include communication protocols, schedules/budgets, technical standards, health/safety requirements, scope of work,
required deliverables, quality control plans and procedures, and/or review of environmental policies.

Throughout the performance period, Towill’s project
manager will maintain open lines of communication
with City staff, attending regular status meetings and/ or reporting on the project’s progress via email correspondence or by phone. Once deliverables are submitted to the City, we respond to any questions or
comments you may have, make any final revisions
necessary, and ensure that your staff is completely
satisfied with all deliverables prior to close-out of the task order.

This process is summarized in the flowchart graphic
on the previous page. Towill’s project manager and
support team are committed to responsiveness to
meet your objectives. We know from experience that
our proven task order management process will be
key to successfully deliver your task orders on time
and within budget.

Suggestions or Special Concerns
Given the nature of the anticipated Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects along with Towill’s 64 years of experience providing on-call land surveying,
we are pleased to have the opportunity to suggest
some value-added services for your consideration.

Terrestrial, Mobile, and Airborne LiDAR
Towill brings 15 years of terrestrial LiDAR scanning
ability. Terrestrial LiDAR scanning can be used to
obtain spatial information for features that require a
high level of detail or that are difficult to reach. It can also be used to gather many data points on complex
surfaces, such as rough and uneven ground. The key
to successful terrestrial LiDAR scanning technology
is knowing when it is the right tool for the job and how to combine and augment it with other measurement
methods and data products to provide the most efficient service for the tasks at hand. In addition, Towill’s unique business model, which combines complete aerial photogrammetric and LiDAR services, as well as ground-based field surveying augmented with LiDAR,
brings a comprehensive mapping tool set to the City.

Recently, Towill completed 16 miles of detailed topographic mapping along State Route 91 in Riverside County, utilizing a combination of mobile and terrestrial LiDAR, aerial photogrammetry, and conventional ground surveys. This seamless integration of various
advanced and conventional technologies allowed the
Towill team to complete this design-level mapping
project to Caltrans standards within 120 days. This is
a strength the Towill team will bring to the City.

Depending upon the project requirements, incorporating aerial LiDAR as part of the overall solution often represents a cost and time-saving approach. Our
airborne LiDAR systems are integrated with precision
Phase One 100-megapixel digital image sensors.

Combining traditional photogrammetric mapping
techniques with state-of-the-profession aerial LiDAR,
represents not only a cost-efficient project approach
but also the ability to provide precision map documents in areas that would compromise the safety of our field crews. We would also like to point out that we often fuse together terrestrial and aerial LiDAR data
sets. For projects where LiDAR represents a more
cost-efficient approach, the combination of stereo
imagery with aerial LiDAR traditional photogrammetry
techniques with state-of-the-profession LiDAR technologies.

Potholing
Towill’s land surveying experience in highly urbanized
areas often requires locating buried utilities. Accordingly, should the need arise for locating underground utilities, Towill will enlist the services of our subconsultant, AirX Utility Surveyors, Inc. AirX is a Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB) with offices in Rancho Cucamonga and Escondido, California, has
been providing Subservice Utility Engineering (SUE)
services since 2000. They are a trusted SUE services
provider to not only Towill but also to many local agencies throughout Southern California.

Assumptions and/or Exclusions
Access to all assigned project AOI’s will be made
available to the survey teams without restrictions or
added cost.

Scope of Services and Schedule
Scope of Work
Research and Data Collection
Towill routinely conducts a variety of project-related
research, such as title reports, APN/property ownership review, zoning, benchmarks, boundary control, and FEMA documents, to name a few. Through decades of experience, we know which agencies to
contact for each specific type of document, what the
processes and lead times are for obtaining them, and
what potential challenges to expect. Research may be
performed at city or county offices, utility agencies, or other appropriate sources.

Vertical and Horizontal Control
Horizontal and vertical control is the backbone of any
successful survey project. The placement of control
point locations is carefully evaluated to determine the most efficient method of performing the project tasks.

Existing maps and photography, city and county
maps, and available historic maps are studied to determine how to refine control point locations to better serve each project and make the working conditions
safe for the field staff. Whenever possible, the control points are located on or near roads, trails, levees, or other common routes of transportation. Special efforts
are taken to obtain appropriate permission to access
private and/or government properties.

Towill is experienced in conducting conventional
surveys, monitoring surveys, precise digital geodetic
leveling, and GPS static surveys, as well as establishing local project control. We have set up thousands of control networks and are well-versed in tying into and/ or expanding existing control networks. Our staff have
decades of experience with a wide variety of coordinate systems and the expertise to know which ones apply to each project.

We regularly perform static, rapid-static, kinematic
and real-time kinematic (RTK), and real-time network
(RTN) GPS surveys to establish ground control, depending on the requirements for the project. We own and use Trimble dual-frequency GPS receivers. Static
and fast static sessions are used to establish primary
control stations; fast-static and kinematic sessions
are used for secondary control. The Towill Team is
well-versed in utilizing GPS methods for establishing
vertical control and deformation monitoring to various
standards, including the National Geodetic Surveys.

Moreover, Towill has extensive experience in the
performance of geodetic surveys and is very familiar
with working in the most current national datums;
e.g., the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83),
2011 (2010), and the North American Vertical Datum
of 1988 (NAVD88). We also have a world-renowned
geodetic expert on staff to lead any specialty or high
accuracy survey efforts, if needed. Towill’s team of
professional licensed surveyors are keenly aware and
always up to date with technical issues relating to
the evolution of geodetic datums, geodetic surveying
technologies, and associated standards and procedures.

Legal Descriptions, Plats, and Maps
Towill has extensive experience and expertise in
boundary and property surveys for land and parcel
determination, performing tens of thousands of surveys over our 63-year history. The initial step to any successful boundary survey is performing the proper
research of land records. Public records research is
required to identify primary control, right-of-way information, and boundary lines, or lines of occupation, before performing the work. Research may be performed at city or county offices, utility agencies, title companies, or other appropriate sources. Necessary
records are identified, organized, and analyzed for the field and office tasks.

Once the research is complete and all documentation
associated with a boundary has been analyzed, we
can prepare highly accurate calculations of where we
can expect to locate monumentation associated with
the boundary determination. Throughout the course of
the field survey (which utilize both GPS and conventional survey techniques), adjustments can be made to further enhance the accuracy of the search locations and minimize the amount of field time required to complete the survey. When survey results are
returned from the field, they are compared to record
deeds and maps and the boundary analysis is performed. With years of experience, we can efficiently and accurately complete the boundary process, comCity Council 13 16 – 328 5/2/2023
City of Santa Ana RFP No. 19-090

piling an accurate and defendable survey.

Towill’s team of surveyors has the experience and
knowledge to tackle any and all boundary surveys,
from public land surveys to subdivision retracements
and establishment of centerlines. Towill consistently remains informed of changes in local, state, and federal laws pertaining to surveying and is very active in continuing education to ensure we remain current.

When locations are returned from the field, they are
compared to record deeds and maps, and the boundary analysis is performed. With our years of experience, we can efficiently and accurately complete the boundary process, compiling an accurate and defendable survey.

According to the California Professional Land Surveyors’ Act, a Corner Record may be used to perpetuate, rehabilitate, or reestablish monumentation that has
existed in the past in other circumstances; and, when
more extensive work is required, or several monuments in the same area are in question, it may be necessary to file a Record of Survey map. Records of
Survey will clearly identify project horizontal control, record map information, and additional data, and lines
and calls prepared in the initial boundary surveys
phase. Once a map is ready, our project manager
will submit the document to the City for review and to
Orange County for map checking. Any comments will
be addressed, and the document will then be filed at
the County Recorder’s Office for recordation.

These mapping items will be prepared in accordance
with the California Subdivision Map Act, California
Professional Land Surveyor’s Act, California Public
Resource Code, and the City of Santa Ana Municipal
Code. These items will be discussed with the City
and/or County agency where the property is situated.

The anticipated deliverables for this item will vary
depending on the requested subdivision mapping task
requested.

Map Checking Services
Towill’s team of professional surveyors are well qualified to perform map checking services for the City.

In fact, the greatest testament to our expert working
knowledge is that we are currently performing the
exact same map checking as those noted in the
City’s RFP for the City of Fremont as well as Alameda
and San Mateo Counties. We also served as a map
checking subconsultant to MSN Engineering for their
on-call contract with the City of Pasadena. Our experience includes but is not limited to the preparation and review of parcel maps, tentative maps, subdivision
maps, records of survey, and annexation maps.

When preparing maps to support the division of land,
knowledge of the Subdivision Map Act (SMA) is critical. Subdivision and other related maps begin as any other boundary survey would, with research, field surveys, and boundary line determinations. Understanding the intent of the map guides the next step, where new lines may need to be determined for parcel splits
or site features may be located to support a lot line
adjustment or encumbrance map.

Construction Staking
Construction staking assignments begin with our
checking and verifying project horizontal and vertical
control prior to the commencement of construction
layout work. Our crews will independently survey this
control, and we will provide a project control report
for use by the construction staking surveyor. When
ground surveys, such as field quantity verification,
subsidence, layout verification, or utility relocation
surveys, are needed, all resulting data is smoothly
integrated into final as-built or as-verified reports.

A review of the construction plans is completed to
determine if sufficient information has been provided for us to perform construction staking from the plans; we also vigilantly check for errors or omissions.

Missing information is tabulated and presented to the
City for their review. When we see things that do not
look right, our first step, upon review by the Project
Manager, is always to alert the City. While we are not
engineers, our experience with working from their
plans has afforded us the insight to know when things
do not appear to be in order and may need a second
look.

We regularly perform surveys to support the construction of a wide range of projects for both public and private entities. Typically, the staking plan will be laid out in AutoCAD or other software if specified by the
client. The project manager conducts a site reconnaissance, coordinates with the client, and finalizes the field crew’s action plan.

Construction line and grade layout, whether it is

for roads, sewer, water, storm drain, or grading,
will require a swift response to avoid costly delays
in construction. Towill often works in a survey construction management capacity and has developed profession-leading, efficient methods for work performance. Field crews are equipped with pre calculated horizontal and vertical alignments so that offsets can
be determined at the time of staking and so that cuts
and fills can be compared to design data at the point
of collection. Many of Towill’s survey crews are headed up by experienced LSITs with the ability to perform field calculations, field inspections, and problem-solving when the need arises. All verification data is transferred to Towill’s database for secondary accuracy checks by office personnel.

Limits of removal are staked based on approved plans
and/or visual inspection in the field. Our crews have
enough experience at this exercise to realize when
things appear to be either insufficient or excessive. If it is believed that the removal limits either exceed or are inadequate for construction, we will advise City
staff. The limits can be staked either at the actual
location, such as paint on curb, or on an offset that
can be used later for construction, thereby saving time and money.

Examples of QA/QC steps for construction layout
are calculating points from different starting points,
comparing station and offset listings with plan sets,
and graphic checks for irregularities. In the field,
comparisons are made to existing structures, and the
relationship of reference points are verified visually
as they are set. As-staked shots are taken on points
set to compare coordinates to the original calculated
positions. Different personnel are called to examine
items throughout the process to provide an independent check.

Monument Preservation
In keeping with Section 8771 of the California Business and Professions Code, Towill recognizes how critically important accurate and enduring survey monumentation and control is to the survey operations of both the City and the surveying community. Without
the perpetuation of controlling monuments, countless
additional hours of field and office work can occur for both public- and private-sector projects.

Every project we undertake begins with a thorough
review of not only record information but also of the
proposed construction in the area. Our project manager organizes the investigation into existing recorded documentation with the City of Santa Ana, Orange
County, and other agencies. Records research is typically performed by the project manager or under his direction. From this research, a plan of action is developed for the preservation of existing monumentation and the setting of new points.

Our first step in preserving the monumentation is to
determine by field verification what monuments are
still in place, which have been buried, and which have
been destroyed. We then advise the City of our findings and plan an operation of setting tie points, which, based on our review of the construction documents,
will be established outside proposed construction
activities.

Monumentation will be marked with either furnished
(or as otherwise specified) disks, plugs, or tags, which shall be stamped with the project manager’s California
Professional Land Surveyor registration number, or as
directed in each task. Monumentation shall be established or preserved for the project or project areas, and shall include considerations for utility locations, proper spacing, and durability. All monuments will be
field referenced with a minimum of four (4) intersecting reference points, such as cut crosses on curbs, rebars outside the work area, or other approved reference points.

A pre-construction Corner Record will then be prepared and recorded with the County of San Bernardino for each monument. Corner Records shall include the character of the monument, its record reference,
reference ties, and other pertinent data. All such field monumentation work will conform to Section 8771 of
the California Business and Professions Code, which
addresses the preservation of existing survey monuments.

When construction has been completed, we return
to the area and determine which monuments and/
or tie points will need replacement. In many instances, damage to the existing monuments is limited. In cases where monuments are to be replaced, a durable monument, as described above, or standard well monument, if required by the City, is established and
post-construction Corner Records are filed. All docCity Council 15 16 – 330 5/2/2023

and the County of Orange.

Topographic Surveys
Towill’s primary business is land surveying and mapping. Along with our extensive field and office survey staff, we also have an in-house photogrammetry
group of professionals that enables us to perform
mapping tasks using either ground- or aerial-based
surveying methods, or a combination of the two.

This allows us to most efficiently address the client’s needs. Because our internal staff work together on
every job, and on such a wide range of project types,
we have full knowledge of which methods are most
suitable to the task at hand, and how to communicate efficiently to develop a full understanding of your needs and how best to serve you.

Planning is the most important tool to economically
serve a project with a variety of field and office activities. Towill performs field topographic surveys for design to produce maps at a wide range of scales, using both GPS and conventional surveying equipment and
techniques. Such surveys are typically performed to
produce a detailed map for engineering design or as
supplemental data collection to enhance and complete photogrammetric mapping.

We have experience performing virtually every type of
field topographic surveying task, including:
• Detailed site surveys for design and construction
purposes (including location of surface and
underground utilities, monitoring wells, curb and
gutter lines, and building pad elevations);
• Cross-section and profiling along rivers, canals,
and levees for hydraulic analysis and design;
• Surveys of bridges and surrounding topography;
• Surveys of tunnels and the interior of large
diameter pipelines; and
• Surveys to check and complement
photogrammetric mapping.

For many of our clients, Towill has conducted multiple
site topographic surveys. We have in-house access
to some of the latest technology available for these
types of tasks. Utilizing robotic one-man instruments
allows us to have more experienced field staff conducting our topographic data acquisition. With very precise and accurate measuring devices, we often utilize reflectorless technology to acquire the information needed within streets and other areas of heavy traffic
without impeding traffic flow.

Whether the site is large or small, with Towill’s unique capability to complete photogrammetric compilation
in house, we will be able to find the most economical
solution to your needs.

Photogrammetric Mapping
Photogrammetric mapping is the process by which
aerial photography is used to produce planimetric and
topographic maps of the earth’s surface and features
of the manmade environment. Photogrammetric
mapping represents a very important business line
for Towill, accounting for an average of 35% of our
company’s annual revenue. Moreover, photogrammetric mapping is not an ancillary professional service at Towill; many of our most highly accomplished and
experienced personnel have dedicated their careers
to advancing Towill’s photogrammetry operations and
providing a level of service far above the competition.

Prior to the execution of the primary data collection
mission described herein, Towill will either recover and target existing ground control positions, or, if needed, establish and target new ground control
positions throughout the AOI. Using the digital image,
ground control, and ABGPS/IMU data, Towill will prepare a Fully Automated Analytical Aerotriangulation (FAAT) solution to establish supplemental control for
orienting individual photogrammetric stereo-models
covering the entire AOI. Upon completion of the FAAT
solution, survey/map documents, such as planimetric
features, contours, or color orthophotography, can be
prepared as-needed anywhere and at any time within
the AOI.

Boundary and Right of Way Surveys
Towill has extensive experience and expertise in
boundary and property surveys for land and parcel
determination, performing tens of thousands of surveys over our 64-year history. The initial step to any successful boundary survey is performing the proper
research of land records. Public records research is
required to identify primary control, right-of-way information, and boundary lines, or lines of occupation, before performing the work. Research may be performed at city or county offices, utility agencies, title City Council

On August 2, 2022, the Santa Ana City Council approved the Revive Santa Ana Spending Plan that reflected the entire American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocation of local fiscal recovery funds. This site was allocated ARPA funding for Public Health and Safety to acquire additional space for a park. On January 27, 2023, the Public Works Agency released Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 22-124 to seek the services of a professional engineering firm to provide landscape architectural design, development of contract documents, and construction support services for the proposed 10th and Flower Park project. The project will provide the community with access to open space, exercise, and recreation facilities.

The RFP was advertised on the City’s online procurement management and publication system with proposals due on February 20, 2023. Seven proposals were received and evaluated by a selection committee. Based on criteria outlined in the RFP, the following summarizes the top three responding firms and their ranking.

Proposal to provide
Landscape Architectural Design Services for 10th and Flower Park — RFP No. 22-124 D. Project Understanding
Approach and Understanding
THE VALUE OF DAVID EVANS AND ASSOCIATES, INC. (DEA)
Having had the opportunity to partner with the City of Santa Ana (City) on the design and implementation of three similar parks (Memory Lane, Mariposa Park and Standard and McFadden Park), DEA has a significant understanding of the process by which the City has successfully achieved much needed recreational opportunities for the community! All of the parks began with a strong conceptual design developed by the City and further refined through the public outreach process. For the 10th and Flower Park, it will be a collaboration between DEA and the City to develop the conceptual park plan with input from the public. The park is located in an underserved neighborhood with expected enthusiastic involvement from the community and funding from sources requiring strict adherence to project schedules and design programs given grant funding guidelines.
10th and Flower Park will require very similar processes for design and construction and will include design amenities that can be found in the aforementioned list of parks. These park projects were a successful collaboration between the City and DEA. Our interest continues to be a part of the City's goal of providing the local community with access to wellness and recreational facilities.

The City of Santa Ana continues to make great strides in providing parks for the community. 10th and Flower Park will be connected with nearby public transportation and in close proximity to the public library and schools, thus we can expect a busy and vibrant active park with amenities for all. The juxtaposition of the selected park improvements will be important to ensure that we consider safety, visibility, adjacencies, noise, circulation and access.

FUNDING
Based on the information noted in the RFP, the City has secured funding from the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds program. The 1.27-acre project site is located at the southeast corner of the W. 10th Street and N. Flower Street intersection and is currently composed of nine separate parcels in addition to Garnsey Street identified as low-density residential land use and zoned Professional. The proposed park design will look to incorporate North Garnsey Street and three residential parcels.

PUBLIC INPUT
We understand that the City would like to hold at least two public outreach meetings during the development of the conceptual plan. The DEA team will provide presentation materials including graphics and renderings such that we can discuss key aspects of the park design by gaining input from local residents on desired park features. The anticipated park elements may include:
■ Hardscape / walkways
■ Playground equipment with rubberized play surface
■ Decorative pedestrian bridge and decomposed
granite walkways (per RFP page A1-4)
■ Canvas shade structures
■ Basketball court (per RFP page A1-4)
■ Exercise area
■ Turf play area
■ Skateboard court (per RFP page A1-4)
■ Perimeter fencing if applicable
■ California friendly / Waterwise landscaping with
shade trees
■ Automatic irrigation system (new water service)
■ Site amenities (park monument sign, benches,
picnic tables, trash receptacles, bike racks and a
drinking fountain)
DEA’s success on previous City park projects,
demonstrates our team's consistent process
and collaboration in delivering quality projects.

Landscape Architectural Design Services for 10th and Flower Park — RFP No. 22-124 ■ Drainage (utilizing low impact development concepts) / WQMP as applicable ■ Perimeter right-of-way improvements
■ Site lighting with electrical service
■ Feasibility Study to incorporate Garnsey Ave. Right-of-way into the project

EFFECTIVE PROCESS
DEA anticipates working closely with the City to schedule / facilitate community meetings upon award of the contract in order to obtain consensus of the desired park amenities and to determine budgets based on grant pursuits and available funding. Our team has extensive experience with community outreach and workshop facilitation. We will also provide a bilingual design team member at each meeting. We have worked with a number of agencies to assist in expediting construction schedules by utilizing various programs available to cities whereas a reduction in cost is achieved in addition to a savings in the schedule.

SCHEDULE
DEA has prepared a comprehensive schedule that requires full cooperation by our design team members as well as the City and outside agencies to ensure the work is completed in accordance with the City goals as well as the criteria necessary in compliance with potential grant funding. This schedule will be updated at each progress meeting, making adjustments as needed and determining if there are any matters that could cause potential issues, and if so, to determine how to mitigate these concerns. Although still cognizant of safety and wellness protocol, we are flexible with our methods of community outreach and consensus. We also recognize that material and construction costs are still challenging and hence we will address those matters throughout our work effort when developing costs.

Our scope and fee addresses each of the elements denoted in the RFP in addition to the tasks necessary to prepare a comprehensive set of construction documents. Given our extensive experience with award-winning park projects, we look forward to sharing our ideas with you! Scope of Work
A. Project Coordination
The DEA team will attend progress meetings (web based)
once to twice a month with staff throughout the duration of the project in addition to the start-up meeting. Fees are based on an average meeting time of one hour. If additional meetings are required beyond the allocated hours, DEA will provide a scope and fee to supplement this task if needed. This task also includes coordination with affected agencies and utility companies.

Community outreach efforts are included in Item F. below. Given the proximity of our office to the City, we anticipate being available for in-person meetings.

Deliverables: Attendance at project meetings during the conceptual design efforts, design development / construction document phase of work as noted and as allocated in the fee schedule.

B. Records Research
The DEA team will research as-built plans, record drawings, right-of-way data, and future improvement plans that might affect the project site. Existing and proposed facilities will be noted to avoid potential conflicts. This task will work in tandem with Item G below.

Deliverables: Obtaining existing plans as noted above.

C. Preliminary Design
C.1 - Conceptual Plan (30%)
Following a project kick off meeting (including a site visit with staff), the project team will discuss the conceptual design, goals and objectives, potential issues, and overall project schedule. DEA will prepare up to two rendered conceptual plans (no colore) based on input from the community outreach meetings. This task also City Council 17 – 30 5/2/2023

A construction cost estimate and final schedule will be provided and approved by the City prior to commencing work on the PS&E package.

Deliverables: Two conceptual plans, one revised / color plan, construction cost estimate, and final schedule.

C.2 - Preliminary Hydrology and Hydraulics Analysis
DEA will prepare a preliminary drainage study for the project site. A rational method analysis of the site will be performed addressing the pre-and post-construction 10- and 50-year storm events. The rational analysis will determine the pre-and post-construction surface flow and serve as the basis for sizing of on-site drainage facilities to retain the difference in the pre-and post-construction conditions. This analysis, along with the percolation test data provided by the project geotechnical engineer will be used to size the project infiltration system.

Deliverables: Up to two conceptual design plans and one refinement of the selected park design including exhibits as denoted above. This task also includes the hydrology and hydraulic analysis report.

D. Survey (Topographic)
Meyer Land Surveying will perform a field topographic survey and prepare electronic AutoCAD Civil 3D file deliverable for the design team. No hard copy deliverable is included. This portion of the agreement provides for the following:
■ Horizontal and Vertical control will be established to support the project. ■ Horizontal datum will be based on an assumed coordinate system. ■ Vertical datum will be based on Orange County Benchmark nearest to the project (BM# SA-320-89). If required to go farther to locate an existing benchmark, this will be considered an additional service. ■ Cross sections will be located at 25 foot intervals on Flower Street from centerline to east back of walk, on 10th Street from south lip of gutter to south back of walk, and on Garnsey Street from back of walk to back of walk. The southerly limits of the survey will be the southerly property line and its easterly and westerly prolongations. On-site topography will be obtained using a 25’x25’ grid. Topographic survey to also include above-ground utility structures, driveways, signs, trees, and other permanent improvements within the project limits. No overhead items or pavement striping are included. ■ Survey dips of up to a total of 3 sewer manholes and 1 parkway drain within the project limits, and if accessible during the field survey. Subsequent trips due to locked or otherwise inaccessible manholes will be considered an additional service.
■ Manholes will be dipped if and only if deemed safe at the time of the field survey by the field survey crew. If deemed unsafe by the field survey crew then locating dip information on these manholes will be considered out of scope and traffic control will be required to be provided by the client.

Deliverables: 20' scale Topographic Survey as noted above, ASCII list of survey data, parcel base map in MicroStation Connect format.

E. Water Quality
DEA will prepare a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) report to include treatment flow rate calculations and descriptions of BMPs and treatment systems in order to provide compliance with water treatment requirements. DEA will also coordinate with the City for the LID requirements and provide BMP's with appropriate size based on treatment and peak flow rates. The team will also perform research into site specific conditions such as prior contamination, depth to groundwater, soil conditions, or utility conflicts, that could preclude infiltration. Soil and infiltration testing will be performed in accordance with the Technical Guidance Documents and in cooperation with the OC Watersheds link provided. Both function and form are important aspects of the design and therefore while we consider the site aesthetics, we will also focus on sustainable issues such as groundwater recharge.

David Evans and Associates, Inc. | February 28, 2023 | 9 Proposal to provide
Landscape Architectural Design Services for 10th and Flower Park — RFP No. 22-124 F. Public Outreach
DEA will be available for a minimum of two public outreach meetings to gain input from residents on the design and aesthetic features desired within the park site (our scope of services currently includes two meetings; whereas additional public meetings could be subject to additional fees). DEA will organize, help promote (mailing list based on City input) and facilitate these meetings in addition to providing the presentation material (graphics and renderings). The goal of these meetings includes discussing key project aspects, benefits and consequences. DEA will have a bilingual design team member available for each team meeting.

Deliverables: Attendance at two public outreach meetings including assistance with promoting said meetings.

G. Utility Coordination
DEA will perform utility research and coordination in preparation of the site utility plan. This research will include searching for available record utility data within or adjacent to the project limits. DEA will gather available information from the utility purveyors regarding their facilities in the project area. Underground utilities will be mapped by record public information only; subsurface utilities that are not identified on existing record maps will not be shown. The record utility information will be used to determine points of connection for electrical (Edison), irrigation and domestic water in the preparation of a site utility plan.

Deliverables: Data collection, utility research and coordination, preparation of a site utility plan to provide power / electrical, irrigation and domestic water to the project site.

H. Environmental (TBD)
We have assumed that the City will provide the Phase I ESA separately.

The project would be subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on our experience with parks projects and the resources in the City of Santa Ana, we have assumed that the appropriate environmental document would be an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) with supporting technical studies. ECORP’s scope of work, cost, and schedule for these services are provided below.

ECORP will prepare the CEQA IS/MND and supporting technical studies for biological resources and cultural resources. Models for air quality/greenhouse gas, noise, and energy will be conducted and the results will be included within the IS/MND with supporting modeling data appended to the IS/MND. ECORP has assumed that the analysis in the technical studies and models will not identify any unavoidable significant impacts, and that an IS/MND will be the appropriate CEQA document. ECORP will prepare an Administrative Draft, Draft, Administrative Final and Final IS/MND for the project and will prepare and file the Notice of Intent and Notice of Determination with the State Clearinghouse and Orange County Clerk. ECORP will also mail the NOI to up to 20 addresses and arrange for publication in one local newspaper. ECORP will assist the City with governmentto-government consultation with California Native American tribes under Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) through drafting notification letters and documentation of the consultation process.

DEA will assess the proposed park to determine if it is required to prepare a VMT analysis for environmental clearance under CEQA. DEA will apply the city’s four criteria to the project and indicate whether the project satisfies any criterion. DEA will document the screening assessment and its most critical conclusion in a technical memorandum which will include any analysis or mapping used as part of the assessment.

I. Civil Engineering Plans
I.1 - Geotechnical Investigation
Project Set-up: Under the direction of the project manager, a staff professional from Converse will set up the project to provide the services outlined under our scope of work. The project set-up will include the following. ■ Coordinate with DEA and the City representative to schedule the field investigation. ■ Perform a site reconnaissance to verify existing conditions.

City Council 17 – 32 5/2/2023
10 | February 28, 2023 | David Evans and Associates, Inc.

Proposal to provide
Landscape Architectural Design Services for 10th and Flower Park — RFP No. 22-124 ■ Review existing geology/geotechnical reports for properties in the vicinity. ■ Stake/mark the boring locations in the field so that drill rig access to all the locations is available. In case, the site has existing underground utilities, a representative from the city MUST clear the boring locations, Converse will not be liable for damage to any unmarked utility. ■ Notify Underground Service Alert (USA) at least 48 hours prior to field exploration to clear the boring locations of any conflict with existing underground utilities.

Subsurface Exploration: Our subsurface exploration will consist of drilling exploratory borings. The purpose of the borings will be to Obtain subsurface information at the site, Obtain undisturbed and bulk samples of the various soil types for laboratory testing, and record depth to bedrock or groundwater (if encountered).

Borings: We will drill 6 borings between 5.0 and 30.0 feet below existing ground surface (bgs) within the project site. If refusal is encountered before the planned depths are reached, the borings will be terminated at that depth.

The borings will be drilled with a truck-mounted (CME 75 or equivalent) rig equipped with an 8- inch diameter hollow-stem auger for soil sampling. Relatively undisturbed ring and bulk samples of the subsurface soils will be obtained at frequent intervals in the borings. The undisturbed samples will be obtained with a California Modified Sampler (2.4-inch inside diameter and 3.0- inch outside diameter) lined with thin sample rings. The soil will be retained in brass rings (2.4 inches in diameter and 1.0 inch in height). The central portion of the sample will be retained and carefully sealed in waterproof plastic containers for shipment to our laboratory.

Bulk soil samples will be collected in plastic bags and brought to our laboratory. Borings will be backfilled with soil cuttings.

The mechanically driven hammer for the sampler is 140 pounds, falling 30 inches for each blow. The number of successive drops of the driving weight (“blows”) required for each six inches of penetration will be shown on the boring log.

The borings will be backfilled with cement grout (if ground water is encountered) and soils cuttings and compacted by pushing down with augers. Where asphalt concrete is penetrated, the surface will be patched with cold mixed asphalt concrete. It is possible the surface may settle over time. If construction is delayed, we recommend the owner monitor the boring site and backfill any settlement or depression that might occur or provide protection around the area of the boring locations to prevent trip and fall injuries from occurring near the area of any potential settlement.

Environmental Analytical Testing for Soil Sample: One composite soil sample from the excess soil cuttings will be submitted to a California ELAP certified laboratory under chain-of-custody control. All sample analyses will be conducted on a standard turnaround time. The samples will be analyzed as follows:
■ EPA 8015M – TPH carbon chain speciation
■ EPA 8260 – VOCs and Oxygenates
■ EPA 8270 – SVOCs
■ EPA 8082 – PCBs
■ EPA 8081A – OCPs
■ EPA 6010B – Title 22 metals (TTLC)
Waste Disposal: All excess soil cuttings will be contained in five (5) drums. The drums will be temporarily stored on the site away from drainage areas and secured from unauthorized entry until laboratory analytical results are received. The waste will be profiled for the most cost-effective disposal or recycling option. For budgeting purposes, we have assumed five (5) drums of waste will need to be transported and disposed of as non-hazardous waste.

Converse will be responsible for the preparation of waste manifests, and for arranging for proper transportation and disposal of the waste. A Client representative will be responsible for signing the manifests as the Generator. Copies of the manifest will be provided.

Percolation Test: The purpose of the Infiltration test will be to obtain water infiltration rate of the surface soils at the location of surface runoff discharge. We will conduct infiltration testing at one location. The depth of the infiltration test will be at 10.0 feet bgs. A 2-inch diameter perforated PVC pipe will be installed inside the City Council 17 – 33 5/2/2023
David Evans and Associates, Inc. | February 28, 2023 | 11 Proposal to provide
Landscape Architectural Design Services for 10th and Flower Park — RFP No. 22-124 boring. The pipe will be secured in the borehole and pea gravel filter pack will be poured down the borehole to surround the pipe casing and hole bottom. Water will be added to the borehole until the water level is as near the ground surface as can be achieved and allowed to pre-soak Pre-Soaking: Pre-soaking will be done by inundating the borehole with water for at least one hour.

Test Procedure: After presoak, the borehole will be filled with water to 12 inches above the bottom and the drop in water level in the borehole shall be observed. The following 2 conditions are utilized to determine the time interval between readings.
■ If water remains in the hole after 10 minutes but drains before 30 minutes, the time interval between readings shall be 10 minutes.
■ If water remains in the hole after 30 minutes, the time interval between readings shall be 30 minutes.

After completion of presoak, the borehole shall be inundated to a level less than or equal to the presoak depth.

For each successive infiltration test reading, the starting water level must be at this initial water depth.

A sounder shall be utilized to determine the water level during each test. All measurements of water level shall be taken to the nearest 1/8-inch increment. Infiltration test readings shall be conducted a minimum of eight times, or when a stabilized rate of drop has been obtained, whichever occurs first. A stabilized rate is defined as when the highest and lowest readings of three consecutive infiltration tests are within 10 percent of each other. The average of the stabilized rate over the last 3 consecutive test readings shall be used as the preadjusted infiltration rate.

Attempts will be made to remove the pipe from the borings. If the attempts fail, the pipe will be abandoned in place and the hole backfilled with soil cuttings
Laboratory Testing: Laboratory testing will include, but may not be limited to; In-situ moisture and dry density; Soils corrosivity; R-value; Collapse; Expansion Index; Sieve analysis; Maximum density; and Direct shear.

Engineering Analyses and Report Preparation: Data obtained from the exploratory borings and the laboratory testing program will be evaluated. Engineering analyses will be performed to develop design and construction recommendations that will be presented in a geotechnical investigation report.

Subject: Proposal for Environmental Services for the 10th and Flower Park Project, City of Santa Ana, California
Dear Kim:

ECORP Consulting, Inc. (ECORP) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide environmental services for the project mentioned above. This proposal presents ECORP’s proposed technical approach, schedule, and cost to complete these environmental services. We have assumed that DEA will provide the Traffic Impact Analysis for our use in the CEQA document. We have also assumed that the City will provide the Phase I ESA separately.

The project would be subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on our experience with parks projects and the resources in the City of Santa Ana, we have assumed that the appropriate environmental document would be an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) with supporting technical studies. ECORP’s scope of work, cost, and schedule for these services are provided below.

SCOPE OF WORK
ECORP will prepare the CEQA IS/MND and supporting technical studies for biological resources and cultural resources. Models for air quality/greenhouse gas, noise, and energy will be conducted and the results will be included within the IS/MND with supporting modeling data appended to the IS/MND. ECORP has assumed that the analysis in the technical studies and models will not identify any unavoidable significant impacts, and that an IS/MND will be the appropriate CEQA document.

ECORP will prepare an Administrative Draft, Draft, Administrative Final and Final IS/MND for the project and will prepare and file the Notice of Intent and Notice of Determination with the State Clearinghouse and Orange County Clerk. ECORP will also mail the NOI to up to 20 addresses and arrange for publication in one local newspaper.

ECORP will assist the City with government-to-government consultation with California Native American tribes under Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) through drafting notification letters and documentation of the consultation process.

 Demolition of Garnsey Avenue
The site is currently comprised of six separate parcels (APN’s 005-142-34, 005-142-35,005- 142-47, 005-142-48, 005-142-49, 005-142-58). The six lots are currently identified as LowDensity Residential (LR-7) land use and zoned Professional (P). They are all currently vacant dirt areas.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our scope of work will include the following tasks.

Task 1: Project Set-up
As part of the project set-up, personnel from our office will conduct the following.  Perform a site reconnaissance to verify existing conditions.  Review existing geology/geotechnical reports for properties in the vicinity.  Stake/mark the boring locations in the field so that drill rig access to all the locations is available. In case, the site has existing underground utilities, a representative from the city MUST clear the boring locations, Converse will not be liable for damage to any unmarked utility.
 Notify Underground Service Alert (USA) at least 48 hours prior to field exploration to clear the boring locations of any conflict with existing underground utilities.

Task 2: Subsurface Exploration
Our subsurface exploration will consist of drilling exploratory borings. The purpose of the borings will be to:
 Obtain subsurface information at the site.
 Obtain undisturbed and bulk samples of the various soil types for laboratory testing.  Record depth to bedrock or groundwater (if encountered).

We will drill 6 borings between 5.0 and 30.0 feet below existing ground surface (bgs) within the project site. If refusal is encountered before the planned depths are reached, the borings will be terminated at that depth.

The borings will be drilled with a truck-mounted (CME 75 or equivalent) rig equipped with an 8- inch diameter hollow-stem auger for soil sampling. Relatively undisturbed ring and bulk samples of the subsurface soils will be obtained at frequent intervals in the borings. The undisturbed samples will be obtained with a California Modified Sampler (2.4-inch inside diameter and 3.0- inch outside diameter) lined with thin sample rings. The soil will be retained in brass rings (2.4 inches in diameter and 1.0 inch in height). The central portion of the sample will be retained and carefully sealed in waterproof plastic containers for shipment to our laboratory. Bulk soil samples will be collected in plastic bags and brought to our laboratory. Borings will be backfilled with soil cuttings.

The mechanically driven hammer for the sampler is 140 pounds, falling 30 inches for each blow.

The number of successive drops of the driving weight (“blows”) required for each six inches of penetration will be shown on the boring log.

Where asphalt concrete is penetrated, the surface will be patched with cold mixed asphalt concrete. It is possible the surface may settle over time. If construction is delayed, we recommend the owner monitor the boring site and backfill any settlement or depression that might occur or provide protection around the area of the boring locations to prevent trip and fall injuries from occurring near the area of any potential settlement.

Environmental Analytical Testing for Soil Sample
One composite soil sample from the excess soil cuttings will be submitted to a California ELAP certified laboratory under chain-of-custody control. All sample analyses will be conducted on a standard turnaround time. The samples will be analyzed as follows:
 EPA 8015M – TPH carbon chain speciation
 EPA 8260 – VOCs and Oxygenates
 EPA 8270 – SVOCs
 EPA 8082 – PCBs
 EPA 8081A – OCPs
 EPA 6010B – Title 22 metals (TTLC)
Waste Disposal
All excess soil cuttings will be contained in five (5) drums. The drums will be temporarily stored on the site away from drainage areas and secured from unauthorized entry until laboratory analytical results are received. The waste will be profiled for the most cost-effective disposal or recycling option. For budgeting purposes, we have assumed five (5) drums of waste will need to be transported and disposed of as non-hazardous waste.

Converse will be responsible for the preparation of waste manifests, and for arranging for proper transportation and disposal of the waste. A Client representative will be responsible for signing the manifests as the Generator. Copies of the manifest will be provided.

Task 3: Percolation Testing
The purpose of the Infiltration test will be to obtain water infiltration rate of the surface soils at the location of surface runoff discharge.

We will conduct infiltration testing at one location. The depth of the infiltration test will be at 10.0 feet bgs.

A 2-inch diameter perforated PVC pipe will be installed inside the boring. The pipe will be secured in the borehole and pea gravel filter pack will be poured down the borehole to surround the pipe casing and hole bottom. Water will be added to the borehole until the water level is as near the ground surface as can be achieved and allowed to pre-soak.

Pre-Soaking
Pre-soaking will be done by inundating the borehole with water for at least one hour.

After presoak, the borehole will be filled with water to 12 inches above the bottom and the drop in water level in the borehole shall be observed. The following 2 conditions are utilized to determine the time interval between readings.
 If water remains in the hole after 10 minutes but drains before 30 minutes, the time interval between readings shall be 10 minutes.
 If water remains in the hole after 30 minutes, the time interval between readings shall be 30 minutes.

After completion of presoak, the borehole shall be inundated to a level less than or equal to the presoak depth. For each successive infiltration test reading, the starting water level must be at this initial water depth.

A sounder shall be utilized to determine the water level during each test. All measurements of water level shall be taken to the nearest 1/8-inch increment. Infiltration test readings shall be conducted a minimum of eight times, or when a stabilized rate of drop has been obtained, whichever occurs first. A stabilized rate is defined as when the highest and lowest readings of three consecutive infiltration tests are within 10 percent of each other. The average of the stabilized rate over the last 3 consecutive test readings shall be used as the pre-adjusted infiltration rate.

Attempts will be made to remove the pipe from the borings. If the attempts fail, the pipe will be abandoned in place and the hole backfilled with soil cuttings.

Task 4: Laboratory Testing
Laboratory testing will include, but may not be limited to, the following.  In-situ moisture and dry density
 Soils corrosivity
 R-value
 Collapse
 Expansion Index
 Sieve analysis
 Maximum density
 Direct shear
Task 5: Engineering Analyses and Report Preparation
Data obtained from the borings and the laboratory testing program will be evaluated.

Engineering analyses will be performed to develop design and construction recommendations that will be presented in a geotechnical investigation report. The report will include the following items:
 Project description.
 Site description.
 Discussion on the field procedure used in the investigation.  A discussion of the materials encountered in the borings and their measured engineering properties.
 Logs of the exploratory borings summarizing the subsurface conditions encountered, and a plan indicating the locations of the explorations.
