Through an engaged process, RNT continually delivers
successful projects that respond to the present and future needs of our clients. With the participation of all stakeholders, we are proud of the meaningful facilities we have created for the greater community.
Design Excellence
RNT’s commitment to design excellence is built upon our dedication to creating meaningful and timeless spaces.
Design excellence begins with clear understanding of the client and user needs. An RNT Principal stays involved at all levels of the project to ensure continuation of the design intent and implementation of high level quality at each phase of work. Our methods to reaching our primary goals of good, simple design while staying on budget are:
• Be straight-forward and efficient
• Creatively use common materials and construction
methods
• Allow for flexibility in the design
• Be energy and environmentally sensitive
Design Approach
Good architecture adequately provides for the needs of its program and uses. It is functionally clear, pleasant and easy to use. Great architecture rises above the provision of utility to create a strong sense of pride in its owners and users, while responding to the client’s purpose and values. Each of our projects are founded upon an inquiry into the opportunities and constraints offered by the program, budget and site.
Key components will include:
• Analysis of existing conditions and context
• Documentation of concepts - functional, organizational and philosophical - that are important to the City and the larger community
• Interviews with key users to determine needs
• Interactive charrettes (design workshops) focused on
goal definition
Creative Solutions
Our business philosophy is based on providing valuable, creative guidance to our clients and responding directly to their needs. Creative solutions are applied at all levels of the project, from the Masterplan scale to a detail on a trash enclosure. Most solutions are born out of functional efficiency and by applying simple forms and materials in new and unique ways. BIM and hand-made study models,
along with 3-D visualization studies are developed at various design phases to apply multiple creative design solutions that explore a balanced mix of design that clearly responds to site opportunities, functional efficiency and sustainable design principles.
Our firm brings the following qualifications:
• Proven Civic Design experience, including projects
involving government facilities, police stations, fire
stations, tenant improvements, Emergency Operations
Centers and public facilities
• Attentive listening to balance the needs of multiple
stakeholder groups
• Focus on creating high quality engaging and motivating environments that support a positive working
environment for staff
• Focus on creating energy efficient, sustainable and
durable buildings with a low total cost of ownership

leading up to and including construction, including:
• Facility needs assessments
• Programming and alternative site evaluation / site
selection
• Providing additions and modernizations to historic
structures
• Project phasing and work around plans, for budget and scheduling issues

Scope of Work
3 Packet Page 186
RNT Architects | City of Seaside - RFP for On-Call Architectural and Structural Engineering Professional Services | 10 Scope of Work
RNT feels that each Task Order that comes through from the City of Seaside on-call contract will require a unique approach toward the design effort. Due to the potential variety of projects and Task Orders, we are providing an outline of our communication and management approach. Based on our
past experience with several similar public on-call projects, the following presents the general outline of RNT’s approach:
Task 1) Administrative Project
Team Organization
• Evaluate the Task Order with the City and assemble the appropriate internal RNT and external consultant team
(when necessary)
• Conduct Fee/Service Scope discussions, documentation
and negotiations
• Prepare for a kick off meeting
• Kick-off meeting
• Introduce City representatives and the design team
• Specify lines of communication between the City and
the design team
• Establish a reporting protocol and confirm the primary points of contact
• Discuss overall project budget, scope, goals and
design requirements, including milestones necessary to
accomplish scheduled completion
• Facilitate a first draft of a master project schedule with the necessary long lead items and critical path items
identified
Task 2) Site/Building Conditions and
Constraints Analysis
To fully understand the constraints and conditions of a project, the design team will review: Existing Reports, As-Builts and Master Plan data (if applicable). Information to be collected will include:
• Existing building and site conditions
• Aerial surveys and maps
• Utility easements
• Right-of-way
• Underground utilities
• Current energy performance levels
• Existing building programs and space utilization
• Environmental or ecological designations
• Historical information as provided by the City.
We will supplement this data with our own preliminary field investigations along with Code Research and a CASp ADA
(if required) evaluation with the goal of fully understanding the site and/or building constraints, and requirements for renovation or development. We will also conduct interviews with appropriate staff members, facility managers, and
building users. If a structure or site has historic qualities or designations, this phase will also involve historic preservation research and analysis. This will culminate with an Existing Conditions Report.
Task 3) Programming & Planning
RNT will collaborate with the building/facility users in the development of a needs assessment/building program and
site plan. This will be orchestrated uniquely for each project with assistance from City staff. Typically, RNT organizes a series of meetings to discuss and document the requirements/ needs of the users and typical ideal diagram of layout/ locations for any spaces on the site and/or within the building.
This diagram develops into a series of concept studies with the project scope and associated budgets.
We will also look at initial costs versus life cycle costs including running maintenance costs for each building system.
Cost efficient design must also address each system and component that is proposed for the building. We routinely value engineer our designs, seeking the optimum solutions in terms of cost and durability. The building materials, interior finishes, furnishings and equipment selected should meet the project needs as well as provide long lasting and durable learning environment. Building systems criteria will be evaluated for the best long-term value relative to sustainable principles, durability, maintenance considerations and LEED certification if requested.
The design options our team generates will be presented to users groups and the City during collaborative workshops. A preferred design and cost option is mutually derived from the users and City staff.

Packet Page 187
RNT Architects | City of Seaside - RFP for On-Call Architectural and Structural Engineering Professional Services | 11 Task 4) Design Development & Permitting
Our team will develop the selected design option, carrying it through our Design Development and Construction Document process. Quality Assurance during the Schematics, Design Development and Construction Document Phases will be
addressed by continuous review of the design by experienced construction and design team members. At RNT, Construction Documents are prepared in Revit, a BIM program that allows for simultaneous design and engineering coordination
among all disciplines. These BIM electronic base files will be shared with the entire design and builder team for ease of coordination, clash detection of building systems, and energy performance modeling. We will propose milestone all-hands meetings to view the BIM model with City staff and to resolve any issues if they arise.
Sustainable Design
During this phase we will also integrate environmentally responsible design features. RNT believes that sound
architecture and planning must be integrated with sustainable design strategies to reduce energy costs and to minimize impacts on our natural resources. We also believe that
employing strategies such as natural ventilation and passive solar design creates healthier environments for users.
RNT utilizes tools including Cove.Tool, a cloud-based tool to analyze energy use and embodied carbon, to evaluate
building strategies that increase occupant comfort and reduce energy consumption. Should the City decide to pursue thirdparty sustainability or performance rating, such as LEED or Net Zero, RNT’s accredited staff can coordinate that process.
Permitting
We will remain involved during the Permitting process to assist the City in navigating zoning/planning parameters and obtaining approval from the necessary agencies having jurisdiction.
Task 5) Construction Administration
We understand how critical it is to be a team player during the Construction (Administration) Observation phase, and to assist the client and the team to overcome any challenges that may occur, specifically when working within existing building. Fundamental to our process is the understanding that high quality construction is dependent on clear, concise and well-coordinated Construction Documents. RNT takes
great pride in our proactive, timely and committed approach to construction (administration) observation. The core of our success is strong collaboration between the Client, Contractor, Architect and inspection entities throughout the construction process. We understand that no priority is greater than providing immediate information to the Contractor during construction. Paired with this is our “hands on” approach in which the Project Manager who implemented the design will also oversee the construction. The RNT Principal-InCharge also stays heavily involved, monitoring the schedule, construction issues and implementation of the design. With this approach, our highly experienced staff oversees $75-$150 million in construction annually. La Jolla Shores Lifeguard Station Packet Page 188

The 9.68-acre site was planned to maximize the natural topographic opportunities that invite a beautifully calming landscaped environment. The site is designed to create the experience of a traditional, family-oriented neighborhood where sidewalks are activated by pedestrian pathways and residential front doors face the street. The project’s 122 residential units, ranging from one- to three-bedrooms, are dispersed throughout the site. These buildings form blocks, surrounding vibrant community courtyards with a variety of uses and activities. The design responds to the immediate neighborhood context incorporating a regional vernacular.
The outdoor amenities aim to draw people outdoors for socializing, gardening, exercising, or for community events. Onsite amenities will offer physical space to complement the social and health programs offered to tenants, with a 9,000-SF community center with meeting and media rooms, offices, a computer lab and kitchen space for services provision, community gatherings and other activities.

RNT worked together with the Housing Authority of the City of San Buenaventura and Bridge Housing as design architects for a 320-unit affordable housing project.
The Housing Authority program includes 50 senior units and 40 market rate units. This project replaced 180 existing units built in the 1950s. Westview is one of the first affordable LEED Neighborhoods in the country. Some of the sustainable elements of the project includes: site water use analysis (storm water and greywater); high performance building envelope; connectivity to public and alternative transportation; multi-story buildings with smaller footprints that allow for more open space; and net-zero design.

Work included high-level strategic operational studies, site-wide master plans, programming studies, building assessment studies, conceptual studies, architectural design, and permitting and construction administration services.
Much of our work has focused on the District's workforce housing villages.
RNT has conducted existing condition assessments for the various housing developments and proposed multiple design options for improvements with budget estimations, life-cycle cost analysis and environmental analysis for each. Projects have also included new administration buildings, training facilities, and site improvements.

(RNT) is providing architectural design services to preserve, restore and renovate the 11,200 SF Botanical Building and surrounding grounds, including the addition of a previously removed historic pergola, accessible walks, benches and landscaping.
To address visitor experience planning needs, RNT conducted extensive surveys of guests. RNT also investigated: the significance of the building’s history and design intent, the park garden district, the horticultural inventory, the Balboa Park setting adjacent to surrounding buildings/open spaces and sustainable building measures to assist in providing overall project input before embarking on the final design with park stakeholders. A significant portion of the initial project analysis also includes review of historical drawings, photos, and documents from the 1915 Panama California Exposition and a grounds crew needs analysis. The design team will also develop site, building & donor recognition signage and an interpretive plan. The primary goal of the first phase is to generate graphics and conceptual cost estimates for fundraising purposes prior to commencing the construction documents phase.

(RNT) and Page & Turnbull Architects led the historic renovation and adaptive re-use of San Diego’s Historic Naval Training Center (NTC) at Liberty Station. This involved the restoration of 26 architecturally significant buildings to their original splendor. Now known as Liberty Station, this 28 park-like acre project became a cultural hub within the NTC District that contains performing arts buildings, museums, galleries, small non-profit artisan buildings, community centers, restaurants, meeting spaces and offices. The NTC's design team’s scope of work involved two phases.
Phase I of the project included an adaptive re-use Master Plan and exterior site program for the historic core of Liberty Station. For Phase II the design team established design guidelines, exterior courtyards, plazas, building architectural standards and tenant improvement services. As part of the conversion, seismic updates and improvements to more energy efficient mechanical systems were incorporated into the 1920s era Spanish Colonial Revival-style facilities.

RNT Architects | City of Seaside - RFP for On-Call Architectural and Structural Engineering Professional Services | 22 Originally constructed in 1922, the historic Anderson Hotel has long been a landmark of San Luis Obispo. In the early 1970s, the Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO) converted the hotel into affordable housing, repurposing its Mediterranean-style, five-story structure to serve low-income residents. However, by modern seismic safety standards, the building was found to be significantly deficient, posing a risk to its long-term usability. In 2020, Buehler conducted a comprehensive structural engineering and seismic risk study to assess the condition of the Anderson Hotel Apartments. The findings, along with a historical report by architects Page & Turnbull, formed the foundation of a major renovation project that began in 2023 that preserves the building’s historic character while ensuring its safety and continued use for affordable housing. The Anderson Hotel, constructed of cast-in-place reinforced concrete and timber framing, required substantial structural interventions to address its seismic vulnerabilities. The rehabilitation efforts included the addition of lateral load-resisting elements and vertical
strength upgrades to mitigate major
structural irregularities and deficiencies.
These improvements significantly
enhanced the building’s resilience while
maintaining its architectural integrity.
Through this careful and historically
sensitive renovation, the City of San
Luis Obispo and HASLO have ensured
that the Anderson Hotel Apartments will
continue to serve its vital purpose—
providing safe and stable housing for
those in need—while preserving a
piece of the city’s rich history for future
generations.

The City of Tehachapi Union Railroad Depot, a historic landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was tragically lost in a 2008 fire caused by illegal fireworks.
In response, the City of Tehachapi, alongside a dedicated consultant team including Buehler, embarked on an ambitious reconstruction effort to restore this iconic structure.
The team meticulously recreated the original depot, ensuring that the construction type, methods, and aesthetics matched the historic design while integrating modern building codes for safety and durability. Collaborating closely with architects and local historians, the project honored the town’s rich railroad heritage by preserving its authentic character.
While the depot is entirely new in construction, its careful and historically accurate recreation allowed it to retain its place on the National Register of Historic Places. Nonoriginal additions and modifications from past renovations were
intentionally omitted, reinforcing the
integrity of the original design. Today,
the rebuilt depot stands as a central
gathering space for the community,
celebrating Tehachapi’s deep-rooted
railroad legacy for generations to
come.

City of Agoura Hills Recreation & Community Center
“RNT was an amazing partner
in the design and construction
of our Recreation & Event
Center. They provided us a
creative solution in using a
portion of an existing building
while adding additional
space that now serves as a
home away from home for
our community. Their team
provided us with all that we
asked for and more than was
initially expected throughout
the project!”
– Nathan Hamburger, Assistant City

Project
Management
7 Packet Page 207
RNT Architects | City of Seaside - RFP for On-Call Architectural and Structural Engineering Professional Services | 27 Project Management
Team Organization and Lines of
Communication
Our design team will be led by Tyson Cline, a Principal of RNT.
He will provide general guidance to the consultant team and lead overall management of the on-call contract. For assigned projects, Ansgar Killing will serve as the Project Manager and be the day-to-day contact for coordination with the City.
He will also be responsible for project communication and coordination with the sub-consultant team. It is also RNT’s firm policy that all assigned team members, remain working on their projects in the role that they were originally assigned until project completion.
Design Development
During the Schematic Design and Design Development
phases, our team will be in constant communication with City staff. We will propose face-to-face meeting every two weeks during this period. If it is more efficient, we can employ Zoom Meeting (video conferencing) to reduce meeting times. These meetings will be scheduled by RNT and will be previewed with an agenda. The minutes of these meetings will address responsibilities and action items that will be distributed to the City and team. During these phases the details of the design will be developed, including unique requirements such as:
sustainability, LEED, water conservation and MS 4 Permit for storm water requirements.
Reporting and Scheduling Systems / Software
The assigned Project Manager along with the Principal-inCharge will provide project communication and documentation, such as reports or drawing submittals to City representatives on a determined Master Schedule. This can be done through an assigned FTP site (Box or SharePoint) with security
password access. This system has been the norm with many of our institutional clients. Meeting notes with users and other client stakeholders will be produced and published by the RNT Project Manager. Ongoing communication and direction provided by RNT will be the “backbone” of each project. When the Master Schedule is approved, the RNT Project Manager will be responsible for tracking the project and updating the Master Schedule. RNT will keep the Master Schedule in
Primavera to track progress and identify task items along the critical path. At deliverable dates, our team proposes to meet with the City to do a “walk through” of the documents. Our schedule and project reporting will be updated on a monthly basis or as directed by the City.
Schedule
Our team is proud of its ability to deliver projects on schedule.
Additionally, we work to define critical path concerns early in a project. Many of our projects have challenging deadlines that are critical to the project’s success due to funding constraints and requirements for minimal disruption of facility operations.
Methods of condensing the typical project schedule include project phasing, fast-track delivery, and negotiated general contractor delivery method with the general contractor selected early and subcontracts bid during plan check. Additionally, we are experienced at specifying building systems that are quickly assembled on-site or prefabricated off-site, allowing for faster project completion in the field.
Quality Assurance
Quality Assurance during the Schematics, Design Development and Construction Document Phases will be addressed
by continuous review of the design by experienced team
members. Our team will prepare the design development
documents in Building Information Model (BIM) to visualize conditions in 3D models and to enhance coordination of
consulting disciplines. At RNT Construction Documents are prepared using Revit, a BIM program. These BIM electronic base files will be shared with the entire team for ease of coordination and clash detection of building systems. We will propose milestone all-hands meetings to view the BIM model with City staff and to resolve any particular detail issues.
Cost Control
Cost Control through Schematics, Design Development and Construction Documents will be integrated through the entire team. The “cost model” should be updated at each Phase
by a Cost Estimator (to be selected according to the project).
Value engineering will occur continuously to balance the budget and scope and to achieve “best value.” Life-cycle costs will be taken into consideration and will be evaluated along with the initial estimated cost to find the right balance of maintenance and running costs.
Packet Page 208
RNT Architects | City of Seaside - RFP for On-Call Architectural and Structural Engineering Professional Services | 28 Quality of Work
Our management style and internal organization is
collaborative. While we as individuals have specialized areas of expertise, we excel in synthesizing this individual experience to bring together a shared knowledge base that collectively meets project goals. Our designs also benefit from assembling teams of consultants with whom we have worked closely with on several projects. By working with a proven network of professionals, we feel we can quickly respond to the needs and requirements of our clients. Together, under the overall control of the Principal-In-Charge through the Project Manager, the team members work toward designing and coordinating elements that can achieve the desired
aesthetic, budgetary and schedule results. We understand that the City may have additional on-call consultants as well.
We have a proven track record of creating an open line on communication among all team members.
RNT has a dedicated Quality Control Principal, who leads the effort to create coordinated construction documents to minimize change order exposure and to facilitate permanent durability and constructability for our projects. This Principal has skills in structural engineering as well as architecture and provides particularly strong oversight on resolving consultant coordination issues.
The fresh look that each office can provide to evaluate projects provides an in-house peer review system that saves agency and construction manager time by making possible early
implementation of construction document changes.
Sustainability
Since the firm’s inception, RNT has been committed to
creating energy efficient and sustainable facilities that respond positively to the spirit of place. As a matter of practicality and functionality for the client, the project should efficiently use energy and minimize environmental impacts. In addition, we believe that a project should stand the test of time. They should be durable, low maintenance and provide a sense of permanence.
Construction Observation Management
RNT understands how critical it is to be a team player during the Construction Administration/Observation phase, and
to assist the client and the team to overcome challenges.
Fundamental to our process is the understanding that high quality construction is dependent on clear, concise and well-coordinated Construction Documents. RNT takes great pride in our proactive, timely and committed approach to Construction Administration/Observation.
The core of our success is the ability to partner with the Client, Contractor and inspection entities throughout the construction process. We understand that during construction it is our highest priority to provide immediate information to the Contractor. Paired with this is our “hands on” approach in which the Project Manager – who implemented the design – will also oversee the construction. The Principal-InCharge also stays heavily involved, monitoring the schedule, construction issues and implementation of the design. With this approach, RNT oversees $75-$100 million in construction annually.
Our typical tasks during construction include:
• Assisting the Client and/or Construction Manager in
preparing the agenda for the pre-construction kick-off
meeting
• Participating in a partnering session with the Contractor and all parties associated with the construction process • Reviewing Shop Drawings and Submittals (prompt turnaround for submittals and shop drawings is critical) • Attending the pre-construction meeting, to identify all the long-lead items and the appropriate response
• Reviewing the procurement schedule and construction
schedule to identify long lead items and approvals
• Attending subcontractor pre-construction meetings
• Attending weekly jobsite meetings and provide
consultation and interpretation of the design documents • Preparing Field Reports required by the City
• Reviewing RFI and prepare responses
• Reviewing substitution requests
• Reviewing work in place for compliance with the
Construction Documents
• Reviewing contractor cost proposals
• Reviewing pay application requests (if required)
• Facilitating project closeout including punch list
development, review of operations and maintenance
manuals and review of as-builts drawings
• Coordinating commissioning (if required)

CONSULTANT agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to AGENCY for review.
Agency’s right to revise specifications. The AGENCY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONSULTANT ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONSULTANT, the AGENCY and CONSULTANT may renegotiate CONSULTANT’s compensation.

AGENCY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by AGENCY.

About Omni Design, Inc.
Omni Design is a local full-service design firm based in San Luis Obispo, California. With over 40 years of experience, we have delivered architectural, civil engineering, and land surveying services to both private clients and public agencies throughout California. Originally established in 1982 as “Mid-State Engineering”, we rebranded as Omni Design in 1997 when architectural services were integrated. In 2022, the company transitioned ownership to Cal y Mayor Group, continuing our legacy of multi-disciplinary expertise with a single point of contact for our clients.
Omni Design has built longstanding relationships with public clients by consistently delivering exceptional work, leading to repeat collaborations. Our portfolio includes projects with Cal Poly State University, the City of Santa Maria, the County of San Luis Obispo, Vandenberg Space Force Base (DOD), among others. These partnerships reflect our dedication to excellence, reliability, and client satisfaction.
We have provided services such as feasibility studies, design services under both Design-Bid-Build and Design-Build delivery methods, and project management for federally funded projects. Our approach emphasizes efficient workflows, cost-effective solutions, and high-quality deliverables tailored to each client’s unique needs.
Our highly experienced design team includes three licensed architects with a combined 70+ years of experience, supported by an architectural designer and three skilled drafters.

Why do we want to partner with the City of Seaside?

General Understanding
Omni Design understands the City of Seaside’s need for a range of architectural services, including new construction, renovations, tenant improvements, site assessments, and master planning for multiple capital projects.
Challenges
Delays risk on plan checks: To address the common risk of delays in plan checks from public agencies in California, we propose collaborating with the City to establish conservative timelines and tackle critical items early in the design process. Close collaboration with Cities is crucial for project success.
Experience with similar projects: Our portfolio includes a wide range of public projects, such as fire stations, community facilities, and public safety centers. Our project experience shows that we have performed projects all types and sizes, from HVAC replacements to new building design. •Track record of successful public facility projects in similar coastal communities
•Experience with municipal projects requiring phased implementation while maintaining operations
•Expertise in California Energy Code compliance and sustainable design practices aligned with Seaside's environmental goals
Approach and Strengths
Integrated Design and Delivery Approach: Omni Design employs a collaborative approach, integrating architectural design with engineering and surveying services under one roof.
Responsiveness: Our strength lies in building close relationships with clients, being highly responsive, and truly partnering with them to solve problems collaboratively.
Expertise in Local Standards and Regional Context
While Omni Design is establishing our presence in Seaside, we bring valuable relevant experience and a commitment to mastering local standards:
•Extensive experience working in coastal California communities with similar environmental conditions, regulatory frameworks, and community priorities •Deep understanding of California Building Code requirements specific to coastal zones and seismic considerations
•Familiarity with Monterey County building standards and regional construction practices
Risk Mitigation: Our work on Vandenberg Space Force Base projects demonstrates our ability to meet military standards and tight deadlines.
Strategies like Pull-Scheduling and "fast-track" design help us address potential bottlenecks early, ensuring on-time and within-budget completion.
Our collaborative approach, clear communication, and detailed planning effectively mitigate risks.

Omni Design Group is providing Master Architectural Services for a new 7,000 SF essential services facility in Nipomo, California. The project utilizes a design-build delivery method with Omni serving as the Master Architect to guide the County through programming, design, and construction phases.
The new Sheriff's Substation will improve emergency response times and community access to law enforcement services in the Nipomo area. The facility is designed as a welcoming, accessible, and secure environment that meets the County's operational needs while incorporating sustainable design features.
As Master Architect, Omni is responsible for four key project phases:
•Program verification and needs assessment
•Development of comprehensive bridging documents and design criteria
•Design development and construction document review
•Construction phase support (100-hour allowance)
The project's unique aspects include complex site requirements related to security, slope conditions, and existing utilities. Omni's integrated team of architects and civil engineers ensures efficient coordination of site work, infrastructure, and building components.
Under Project Manager Shane Maples' leadership, Omni will maintain design oversight throughout the design-build process, ensuring the final facility meets all performance requirements while allowing the design-build entity flexibility in achieving solutions. The project emphasizes performance-based criteria rather than prescriptive requirements, enabling innovative approaches while meeting the County's objectives.
The phased approach allows for potential schedule compression through early site work and utility extensions, optimizing the overall project timeline while maintaining quality and compliance with all regulatory requirements.

Paso Robles Fire Station No. 3
Project Summary
Omni Design provided Architectural Programming and Design Services to develop a Public Safety Master Plan on an 8.5-acre site to accommodate the City’s new Fire Station No. 3, and public safety training center.
The new Fire Station No. 3 includes offices, living quarters, vehicle and equipment maintenance space, and provisions for controlling the spread of hazardous materials. The training center included a training tower, props, and a training classroom.
Once the Master Plan was complete, design and construction documents were prepared for the 6,700 SF Fire Station
component. The design made provisions for the addition to include additional apparatus bays for future construction.
The design’s objective was to easily convert the living quarters into a future training classroom and relocate the living quarters to the opposite side of the apparatus bays to provide more space to house more firefighting personnel.
The architecture design was submitted to the City and approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. Architectural and Engineering construction documents were prepared and approved for permitting.
The project was successfully built with minimal design related change orders and fully operational. The construction cost was originally $4,897,000 and there was a 7.5% variation from the original budget. Of that 8% variation, two percent are City requested enhancements, three percent are PG&E and other utility related items with less than three percent falling under design related.

Omni Design, Inc | CITY OF SEASIDE ON-CALL ARCHITECTURAL AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES Timely Delivery
Our firm has used the “last planner” methodology for calculating and executing the project´s critical path.
The core principles of the last planner methodology we use are:
Big Table Communication: emphasizes the involvement of all key stakeholders (owners, architects and sub-consultants in the planning process.
Pull Planning: This involves starting with the project’s timeline goal and working backwards to identify necessary tasks and their dependencies.
Weekly Work Planning: This frequent review allows for adjustments based on real-time conditions and constraints.
Staffing
Once we have the timeline established, we take a close look a the all the current projects and address the following questions to determine the staff´s time allocation:
1. Who has the skills set and experience to tackle the necessary scope of work?
2. How does the teams' available time match with the project´s timeline and critical milestones?
3. What time slack is left for each team member to tackle the project on a baseline and unforeseen events scenario?
Sub-consultant Management
We partner with sub-consultants who have a proven track record and align with our quality and service standards. As mentioned in the “Big Table” aspect of the “last planner” methodology, we need to know where are our subconsultants at in terms of staffing capabilities looking forward and conveying them the milestone timeline we want to achieve. We make them part of the timeline planning instead of just feeding it to them, which often poses a risk. Having back-up consultants adds redundancy for risk mitigation.
Quality Service
We view quality service in two main aspects:
1. Customer service: Our approach is having open and direct communication with the entire team and providing quick responses in a way that everyone feels involved and informed. You can trust us with your projects.
2. Deliverables Quality: Our approach to QA/QC is a design process that incorporates systematic review regardless of who is working on the project. The QA/QC responsibility fall on our Principals-inCharge and is a 5-step process as follows:

Item No.: 8.D.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Thomas Korman, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Leslie Llantero, Assistant Engineer
DATE: May 1, 2025
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A BUDGET AMENDMENT OF $200,000.00 IN MEASURE X FUNDS FOR THE CITYWIDE CDBG
ADA CURB RAMP PROJECT FOR A TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET
NOT-TO-EXCEED $540,000.00 FOR CONSTRUCTION OF
ADDITIONAL CURB RAMPS
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving a budget amendment of $200,000.00 in Measure X funds from the Pavement Rehabilitation Fund to the Citywide CDBG ADA Curb Ramp Project for a total Project budget not-to-exceed $540,000.00, and authorizing the City Manager to execute up to an additional $200,000.00 for written amendments, extensions, and change orders.
BACKGROUND
The Project will remove non-compliant curb returns and replace them with accessible compliant curb ramps per Caltrans A88A standard details at selected intersections. JMS Cement Contractors, Inc. (JMS) was awarded the construction contract on March 6, 2025, for a total construction amount of $244,000.00, including contingency. At the same March 6, 2025 meeting, City Council approved a professional services agreement with Wallace Group for construction management services for an amount not to exceed $94,639.00. The Project is scheduled to take 60 working days. JMS began construction on April 7, 2025, and is diligently completing the Project. JMS is estimated to be complete by the end of May 2025.
The plans developed for the Project, identified 79 non-compliant curb ramps at various locations on Military Avenue, Ord Grove Avenue, Elm Avenue, Fremont Boulevard, Packet Page 301
Item No. 8.D. Page 2 of 2
Amador Avenue, Kimball Avenue, Sonoma Avenue, Hamilton Avenue, Hilby Avenue, Palm Avenue, and La Salle Avenue. The current contract will construct 29 curb ramps.
With the proposed $200,000.00 added to the Project budget, an estimated 20-25 additional curb ramps would be constructed along with addressing sidewalk repairs in the immediate vicinity of the work.
Compliant accessible curb ramps are required whenever a roadway is altered, such as pavement rehabilitation. Concrete contractors' unit prices are generally lower than specialty paving contractors' prices when the work does not include ADA curb ramps.
Constructing accessible curb ramps in advance will streamline future pavement rehabilitation project delivery and will save time and money.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Citywide CDBG ADA Curb Ramp Project was included in the Capital Improvement Program in FY 24/25 on February 6, 2025. There are sufficient Measure X funds in the Pavement Rehabilitation Fund (account 212-8920-9600) to transfer $200,000.00 to the Citywide CDBG ADA Curb Ramp Project (account No. 212-8960-9578) for a total Project budget amount not to exceed $540,000.00.

RECOMMENDATION
Receive public comment and conduct the second reading:
1. Ordinance approving amendments to Title 2 regarding the increased compensation for the City Council.
2. Ordinance approving amendments to Title 2 regarding Board and Commissions;
BACKGROUND
BOARD & COMMISSION AMENDMENTS:
Title 2 of the Seaside Municipal Code establishes the City’s administrative framework, including the organization of City government, personnel administration, and the operation of advisory boards and commissions. Staff has conducted a comprehensive review of Title 2 in coordination with guidance from the League of California Cities and comparative analyses of peer city policies.
Packet Page 305
Item No. 9.A. Page 2 of 4
The proposed amendments are intended to streamline procedures, improve internal consistency, and codify expectations regarding appointments, removals, reporting requirements, and conflicts of interest, in alignment with the California Government Code and applicable Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) guidelines.
The revisions to Chapter 2.14 – Boards and Commissions are focused on enhancing governance procedures and promoting transparency and accountability in the City’s advisory body structure.
Key Revisions Include:
1. Terms of Service (Section 2.14.040):
o Standardizes the term lengths across all City boards and commissions to ensure consistency.
o Clarifies reappointment eligibility and term expiration procedures.
2. Appointment and Removal Procedures (Sections 2.14.060 & 2.14.070):

Item No. 9.A. Page 3 of 4
relevant boards and commissions and facilitate training on the revised procedures.
CITY COUNCIL COMPENSATION INCREASE:
The City of Seaside is a general law city under California state law. As such, the City Council possesses the authority under Government Code Section 36516 to amend ordinances establishing salaries for the Mayor and Council members.
The monthly compensation for the City Council had not been adjusted since 1986— nearly 40 years. Over that period, the cost of living has increased by more than 300%.
In tandem, the complexity of municipal governance has significantly grown, requiring increased time commitments from elected officials. Preparation for meetings, participation in public events, and representation on external boards and committees have all expanded in scope and volume. Despite these increases, the prior salary for Council members remained at $400 per month—among the lowest in the region.
In 2023, the California Legislature adopted Senate Bill 329 (Dodd), which authorized general law city councils to adjust council compensation beyond previously established statutory caps. The legislative intent of SB 329 was to account for inflation, economic pressures, and to remove structural barriers to equitable representation in local government by recognizing the time, energy, and commitment required of elected officials.
The bill underscores that while individuals do not serve in elected office for financial gain, inadequate compensation can restrict civic participation—especially among residents from underrepresented and lower-income communities. Increased compensation can help foster more diverse and inclusive representation in local government.
Under Government Code Section 36516, two options were available for increasing salaries:
• Apply a 5% annual increase from the last date of adjustment (1986), resulting in an allowable monthly salary of approximately $2,400.00. • Adopt the statutory default of $950 per month for cities with populations under 35,000.
COUNCIL ACTION:
At its regularly scheduled meeting on March 20, 2025, the Seaside City Council voted to adopt an ordinance increasing the monthly compensation for all Council Members to $2,400.00, effective for current and future officeholders. In addition, the Mayor will receive a $300.00 monthly automobile stipend in recognition of the enhanced duties and public-facing responsibilities associated with the role.
Packet Page 307
Item No. 9.A. Page 4 of 4
This action reflects both statutory compliance and a policy decision to support accessibility in public service and to recognize the growing demands placed on elected officials.
