RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation of the Community Services Director that City Council award a consulting services agreement to Chee Salette of Glendale, CA (RFP B2024 -10) for an amount not-to-exceed $500,000, to provide design and construction administration services for the World War II (WWII) Camp Wall Monument Project at Columbia Park , for a three -year period beginning December 17, 2024 and ending December 16, 2027.

FUNDING

Funding is available in the Columbia Park - World War ll Camp Wall Monument project (PRK0002- CN0002) per California Natural Resources Agency Grant #GF2126-0.

DISCUSSION

On July 16, 2021, Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi secured a $5,000,000 grant allocation as part of Senate Bill No. 170 for a WWII Japanese American Incarceration M onument project to be constructed in the City of Torrance. Funded by the California Natural Resources Agency, this monument project intends to teach the history of the mass incarceration of over 120,000 Japanese Americans without due process of law during WWII.

Under this grant allocation, a t least $4,000,000 of the grant funds are restricted to costs for the design, planning, development, construction, and materials for the monument; $1,000,000 can be utilized for supporting infrastructure, including but not limited to lighting, walkways, parking lot upgrades, and restroom facilities. Staff notes that the City will be responsible for ongoing maintenance and repairs , and it is anticipated that future fundraising efforts will partially offset these costs.

On April 25, 2023, City Council directed staff to accept and appropriate $5,000,000 in grant funding from the State of California and approved Columbia Park as the site for the m onument project. The project will be constructed at the southeast corner of Columbia Park, near the intersection of 190th Street and Prairie Avenue.

Grant agreement #GF2126-0 with the California Natural Resources Agency was approved by City Council on January 23, 2024. The grant agreement requires that the project be completed no later than February 1, 2026. The grant agreement also requires the City to consult with a five-member advisory committee, comprised of one member appointed by Speaker of the State Assembly, one member appointed by the President Pro Tempore of the State Senate, and three (3) members approved by Your Honorable Body.

The State Senate Rules Committee and the State Assembly appointed Priscilla Ouchida and Nancy Hayata to the advisory committee, respectively. Ms. Hayata is also a member of the WWII Camp Wall volunteer fundraising committee. On April 23, 2024, Russell A. Akiyama, Lisa Akiyama Robinson, and Stacey Toda were appointed by City Council to fill the remaining three (3) positions of the five-member advisory committee.

On July 30, 2024, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for project design and construction administration services was issued and a total of six (6) proposals received on August 28, 2024.

The RFP included equally weighted criteria used by the evaluation team to assess each proposal.

The evaluation team was made up of four (4) City staff members who independently rated all proposals and assigned up to a maximum of 100 points to each proposal.

Below are the rating criteria established to evaluate each proposal submitted under the RFP as well as the average scoring assigned for each individual criterion.

2. TERM
Unless earlier terminated in accordance with Paragraph 4 below, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect from the Effective Date through December 31, 2027.

3. COMPENSATION
A. CONSULTANT’s Fee.

For services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, CONSULTANT will be paid in accordance with the Fee Schedule contained in the Revised Proposal; provided, however, that in no event will the total amount of money paid CONSULTANT, for services initially contemplated by this Agreement, exceed the sum of $500,000 (the “Agreement Sum”), unless otherwise first approved in writing by CITY.

Provided that CONSULTANT is not in default under the terms of this Agreement, upon presentation of an invoice, CONSULTANT will be paid the fees described in Paragraph 3.A. above, according to the Fee Schedule. Payment will be due within 30 days after the date of the invoice.

4. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

1. CITY may, at any time, terminate the Agreement for CITY’s convenience and without cause.

2. Upon receipt of written notice from CITY of such termination for CITY’s convenience, CONSULTANT will:

a. cease operations as directed by CITY in the notice;
b. take actions necessary, or that CITY may direct, for the protection and preservation of the work; and

///

5 00488147 (REVISED) 3
B. Termination for Cause.

1. If either party fails to perform any term, covenant or condition in this Agreement and that failure continues for 15 calendar days after the nondefaulting party gives the defaulting party written notice of the failure to perform, this Agreement may be terminated for cause; provided, however, that if during the notice period the defaulting party has promptly commenced and continues diligent efforts to remedy the default, the defaulting party will have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to remedy the default.

2. In the event this Agreement is terminated for cause by the default of CONSULTANT, CITY may, at the expense of CONSULTANT
and its surety, complete this Agreement or cause it to be completed. Any check or bond delivered to the CITY in connection with this Agreement, and the money payable thereon, will be forfeited to and remain the property of the CITY. All moneys due CONSULTANT under the terms of this Agreement will be retained by CITY, but the retention will not release CONSULTANT and its surety from liability for the default. Under these circumstances, however, CONSULTANT and its surety will be credited with the amount of money retained, toward any amount by which the cost of completion exceeds the Agreement Sum and any amount
authorized for extra services.

3. Termination for cause will not affect or terminate any of the rights of CITY as against CONSULTANT or its surety then existing, or that may thereafter accrue because of the default; this provision is in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the CITY under law.

C. Termination for Breach of Law.

In the event CONSULTANT or any of its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, subsidiaries or affiliates is convicted (i) of a criminal offense as an incident to obtaining or attempting to obtain a public or private contract or subcontract, or in the performance of a contract or subcontract; (ii) under state or federal statutes of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, receiving stolen property, or any other offense indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty that currently, seriously, and directly affects responsibility as a public consultant or CONSULTANT; (iii) under state or federal antitrust statutes arising out of the submission of bids or proposals; or (iv) of violation of Paragraph 19 of this Agreement; or for any other cause CITY determines to be so serious and compelling as to affect CONSULTANT’s responsibility as a public consultant or CONSULTANT, including but not limited to, debarment by another governmental agency, then CITY reserves the unilateral right to terminate this Agreement or to 6 00488147 (REVISED) 4
impose such other sanctions (which may include financial sanctions, temporary suspensions or any other condition deemed appropriate short of termination) as it deems proper. CITY will not take action until CONSULTANT has been given notice and an opportunity to present evidence in mitigation.

5. FORCE MAJEURE
If any party fails to perform its obligations because of strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, embargoes, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes for labor or materials, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental control, judicial orders, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, then that party’s performance will be excused for a period equal to the period of that cause for failure to perform.

6. RETENTION OF FUNDS
CONSULTANT authorizes CITY to deduct from any amount payable to CONSULTANT (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute or that are necessary to compensate CITY for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by CITY, and all amounts for which CITY may be liable to third parties, by reason of CONSULTANT’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform CONSULTANT’s obligations under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by CONSULTANT, or any indebtedness exists that appears to be the basis for a claim of lien, CITY may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of the withholding, an amount sufficient to cover the claim. The failure of CITY to exercise the right to deduct or to withhold will not, however, affect the obligations of CONSULTANT to insure, indemnify, and protect CITY as elsewhere provided in this Agreement.

7. CITY REPRESENTATIVE
The Community Services Director is designated as the “City Representative,” authorized to act in its behalf with respect to the work and services specified in this Agreement and to make all decisions in connection with this Agreement.

Whenever approval, directions, or other actions are required by CITY under this Agreement, those actions will be taken by the City Representative, unless otherwise stated. The City Manager has the right to designate another City Representative at any time, by providing notice to CONSULTANT.

8. CONSULTANT REPRESENTATIVE(S)

CHEE SALETTE ARCHITECTURE OFFICE INC., (known as CHEE SALETTE) is excited to submit our qualiﬁcations and fee proposal for the Design and Construction Administration for the WWII Camp Wall Monument at Columbia Park. Established in 2009 in Los Angeles, we are a women and minority owned design driven practice that approaches design through a multi-displinary lens with the goal of crafting authentic designs that resonate of place. As both Architects and Landscape Architects, we are uniquely positioned to create a very holistic project for the community with our multi-disciplinary approach. With over 90 years of combined experience, we are also highly skilled and capable to provide the highest level of services needed to bring this special project to fruition in a very detailed and thoughtful manner. We carefully listen and observe, then synthesize various thoughts and desires into a plan that all can coalesece around with the support of engineers who are respected experts in their ﬁeld.

As both an architect and landscape architect, I lead the practice with an understanding of object, building and site to form a dynamic spatial relationship, shaping projects in response to urban form and natural environments that are sensitive to the history and values of the site and users. We strive to achieve design of the highest quality that is thoughtful, visually stimulating, culturally responsive with functional efﬁciency and within budget constraints. We keep durability and maintenance in mind during the design process so that projects can endure budget constraints and the process of time.

We have collectively completed (4) Memorial projects which are included as examples of our work experience that has involved extensive community engagement working closely with the Foundation, victims’ families, survivors, historians, and the community to create an all encompassing project of healing and honoring those who have died.

CHEE SALETTE is a California Corporation since 2009 and is certiﬁed WBE, WOSB, MBE, SBE, and DBE and is licensed to practice architecture and landscape architecture in California.

I will be the point of contact and project manager.

Tina Chee, Principal, President of Chee Salette Architecture Ofﬁce, Inc. email: [email protected]
direct: 323-691-6647
We hope you ﬁnd our projects thoughtful, innovative, and resourceful. I believe the combination of our well-rounded experience, multi-disciplinary practice, our humbleness, and our hands-on approach to design make us particularly well-suited for the WWII Camp Wall Monument. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Tina Chee
Principal, RA, RLA, AIA, ASLA, LEED AP

PUBLIC WORK

EXPERIENCE
CHEE SALETTE is a Los Angeles based women and minority owned design driven studio crafting architecture and landscape architecture with a holistic and sustainable vision. After practicing with the renowned Frank Gehry for a combined 30 years, Tina Chee and Marc Salette founded CHEE SALETTE in 2009. For the past 15 years, CHEE SALETTE has been involved in many public and community based projects working alongside many cities throughout the Los Angeles region as well as foundations, non-proﬁts, institutions, and developers. With over 30 years of practice in architecture and landscape, Tina Chee leads the studio supported by founder Marc Salette and senior architect Natalie Magarian. We come from a rigorous design work ethic having practiced with architect Frank Gehry for a combined 40 years on large scale and complex projects such as the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the MIT Stata Center in Cambridge, and the Brooklyn Arena in New York. Since then, we have started our multi-disciplinary practice that seeks to create holistic environments with both architecture and landscape that are innovative, beautifully moving, socially engaging, ecologically responsible, within budget and schedule constraints. Our expertise is the synthesis of architecture and landscape to create community based projects that are sustainable and a pleasure to be in. Collectively, we have completed (4) Memorial projects which are included as examples of our work experience; each symbolicly designed to reﬂect the tragic event creating a space of healing and remembrance, honoring the victims and survivors - The January 8th Memorial and Gardens in Tucson, Arizona; WWI Memorial in Washington DC; LAFD Fallen Fireﬁghters Memorial in Los Angeles; and the Parkland 17 Memorial in Coral Gables, Flordia. In addition to our memorial projects, we have been involved with the design of public open spaces such as the Freedom Tree Park recently completed for the City of Los Angeles, the renovation of Gilbert Lindsay Plaza at the LA Convention Center, the City of Hawthorne Civic Center in permitting, and the City of Artesia Botanical Gardens and Community Center in development. As a result of our past experiences, we are a highly ﬂexible and multi-skilled team. Each one of us is able to handle a number of specialty tasks and topics. This capacity is especially valuable on small yet complex projects. We are able to understand, synthesize various desires, and arrive at solutions that are optimal for the City and Community. Our knowledge base includes :
• Project Management
• Architecture Design and Materials
• Code and ADA Compliance
• Landscape Architecture Design and Materials
• California Native Plants and Horticulture
• Consultant and Systems Coordination
• Stormwater Design Management
• 3D design and visualization
• Construction Detailing
• Construction Management
We believe that we understand the fundamental ethos of the project and have the right skillset and experience to complete this project successfully. To support our efforts, we have assembled an equally design focused and thoughtful team of engineers who are experts in their ﬁeld to realize this project for the community and City of Torrance.

Tina Chee

RA, RLA, AIA, ASLA, LEED AP
Design Principal, Architect and
Landscape Architect, Project
Manager
Tina Chee is an award winning architect, landscape architect, and urban designer with over 30 years of experience on complex projects worldwide.

As both an architect and landscape architect, she synthesizes the essential of both disciplines that result in holistic projects that combine functional and formal qualities - well proportioned architectural form and space that is softened by the landscape to create exterior spaces; promoting passive systems to create building sustainability and low water use in primarily native landscapes; organizing program spaces that have relate the interiors to exteriors to create spaces that have multi-functions and purposes. Her design approach begins with practical requirements that are transformed into qualitative spaces through the crafting of spatial form, human scale, durable and natural materials, and native and climate adaptive plants. She has been involved with many high proﬁle projects in the public realm requiring a high level of sensitivity and thoughtfullness working with local stakeholders and communities.

Tina honed her craft of architecture after practicing with many of the great masters of our time - Frank Gehry, Norman Foster, and Renzo Piano. These experiences exposed her to the rigour of making architecture as a functional artform creating beauty with passive building systems, the play of techtonics, program and function, natural light, and elegant proportions and sculptural form which are her key tenets today. As an architect, she was the project lead for many complex projects for Frank Gehry such as the Brooklyn Atlantic Yards and Arena Block project in New York which transformed 5 city blocks and required heavy coordination with city agencies regarding street level experiences and open space. She also led a team of architects and full team of consultants for the 33 story mixed use tower as part of the 7M square foot development.

FIRM PROFILE

Carlberg Associates is an arboricultural and horticultural consulting firm based in Santa Monica, California. Established in 1998, our team of Registered Consulting Arborists®, Qualified Tree Risk Assessors, Certified Arborists, and Certified Urban Foresters offers a pragmatic approach to the incorporation, preservation, and promotion of trees in the landscape. We provide strategic planning for institutional, municipal, and commercial clients, as well as expertise for a wide range of tree and landscape evaluations, inventories, value appraisals, forensic investigations, and management plans. We specialize in urban forest master / management planning, historic preservation, arboriculture, and horticulture.

Carlberg Associates is uniquely qualified to collaborate with the Huntington Master Planning Project team.

Our team comprises two former board members of the Theodore Payne Foundation for California Native Plants and a former docent at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. A former consultant at Carlberg Associates was the chair of the Botanical Volunteer Board at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens.

Another member of our team spent nearly a decade formulating and teaching native plant curriculum at Monrovia Canyon Park (City of Monrovia) and Oak Canyon Nature Center (City of Anaheim). This laid the foundation for her future work in the preparation of plant palettes for native habitat restoration and management plans, invasive species eradication plans, and fire-fuel modification plans. Two of our team members are contributors to the 3rd Edition of Street Trees for Southern California, published by Street Tree Seminar, Inc. With our combined experience of over 75 years in the arboriculture and horticulture industries, our knowledge of native trees and plant communities, and our commitment to promoting the use of native plants in suitable urban settings, our team is well-versed in appropriate tree species for botanical gardens.

Our principal and senior arborist are comfortable in public forums and have spoken extensively at industry conferences, City Council meetings, regional Planning Commissions, County Board of Supervisors, and local planning, historical, and tree commission levels. Several of our team members have facilitated or participated in community outreach meetings for similar urban forestry management plans, parks and trails master plans, oak woodland conservation management plans, and public scoping meetings for various environmental projects.

Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens – Consulting Horticulturist/Arborist Carlberg was a part of a team of six that accessioned the plant material (trees, shrubs, and ground cover) at this 113-acre facility. This multi-year project customized a GIS (ArcView) system which contained the plants, their history, nomenclature, photographs, and condition. This effort was recognized by the American Association of Museums and the Zoo became the first accredited botanical garden in the City of Los Angeles.

After the accreditation, the Los Angeles Zoo became the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens.

Eames House Conservation Management Plan
The Eames House Conservation Management Plan (CMP) provides a framework for the ongoing care and management of the Eames House including decisions about its conservation. Carlberg performed an inventory and Condition Assessment of the trees and landscape features at the Eames House (Case Study House No. 8) in Pacific Palisades, California. Carlberg Associates evaluated, documented, and mapped the plant material (trees, shrubs, and groundcover) and hardscape and provided recommendations for (1) the reduction of risk associated with trees, and (2) the improvement and proper maintenance of tree health.

The recommended Landscape Management Plan (LMP) is in process and will develop comprehensive management and conservation policy recommendations for its ongoing care and interpretation. The LMP will be in accord with the is CMP and build on the landscape survey and assessment undertaken in 2014–15 (Carlberg Associates). The LMP will assess the landscape’s cultural and historic values and analyze changes that have occurred over time. Treatments and actions that conserve significant elements and components will be recommended, with the recognition that change is inherent in a living landscape.

Carlberg continues to be involved with the Eames Foundation and its ongoing LMP efforts.

The January 8th
Memorial + Botanical
Gardens
In 2015, CHEE SALETTE was selected as the architect and landscape architect for the 1 acre January 8th Memorial and surrounding Botanical Gardens and the 4 acre El Presidio Park Masterplan in Tucson, Arizona.

The Memorial and surrounding gardens commemorate the shooting of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in 2011 along with the 6 victims and 13 survivors. Sloped berm forms, made of local stone and plants, shape the Memorial wall which tell the story of the tragedy through symbols. Reﬂecting pools overﬂow with cascading water soften the space and create an intimate space for commemoration and reﬂection.

The 2 year design process involved worksessions with Memorial Foundation Board leaders; County, City Council, and Neighborhood Council leaders; Parks and Recreation; the victim families; and the general public.

We also coordination of a full team of local consultants and fabricators - artist, lighting designer, structural, civil, electrical, plumbing, irrigation, horiticulture, and water feature designer. In addition, advice was sought from experts from the Desert Museum on the appropriate plants for the region that matched the various themes to each garden dedicated to the six victims as well as from metal wall and concrete fabricators so that the best materials and practices could be determined and sourced locally. Worksessions with Parks and Recreation were key to understand maintenance standards and procedures, maintenance stafﬁng, and past experiences with other projects. There were many discussions regarding the materials and durability, homelessness and skateboarders. These meetings helped inform the selection of materials and development of details. Samples were procured and reviewed on site with the owner groups and contractor. Once the design was approved, CHEE SALETTE worked with the Pima County Facilities Management over the course of a year to ﬁnalize the bid documents and complete the construction.

Bi-weekly OAC meetings kept the project on track as there were many special conditions that were discovered during the construction process - historical remains were discovered as well as buried utilities. With a ﬁxed construction budget, the design team pulled up their sleeves to ﬁnd acceptable alternative solutions to allow the project to continue. Once completed, the design team met with Parks and Recreation to review maintenance procedures and establish protocols. The Memorial was completed in 2020 and has been honored with an American Architecture Award, National ASLA Honor Award, CodaWorx Public Space Award, and ASLA Award for Landscape Art.

Symbol constellations
Each symbol strand is made of 33 voids representing the number of bullets ﬁred. Symbols represent the values
of the people who died, survived and responded. The
gradation of the voids provokes the sensation of pulse.

Candlelight vigil
At night the symbols glow softly, evoking the candlelight vigils that illuminated the evenings following the tragic day.

The absence of symbols at the apex conveys the void of
lives lost.

89 CHEE SALETTE CHEE SALETTEWWII Camp Wall Monument RFP 47 The WWI Memorial is a park, and Pershing Park is
now a Memorial to all Americans who served in the
Great War. The Memorial is a landscape that evokes
the French ﬁelds where Americans fought ﬁve major
battles, represented by ﬁve mounds forming a
central sunken space ﬂowing from the northwest to
the southeast corner of the park, where the statue
of General Pershing stands atop a monticule at the
end of a moving perspective. This sunken pathway,
a memory of the trenches of WWI, is also a march,
a timeline and a recollection of the sacriﬁce of those
who served. Its enclosing walls are etched with
images of entrenched soldiers, of surging warriors,
of triumphant servicemen and women returning
home; images of heroism and valor that appear to
come out of the steel like troops out of the fog. Its
gravel bottom is embedded with 53,402 glistening
discs, one for every American who died in combat.

At night, the circles glow and form a luminous ﬁeld
leading to the statue of Pershing. Visitors see people above, at the tip of the promontories, learning the
history of the major battles, and overlooking the
frescos and patterns of circles below. The hills are
places where people play, picnic, rest and inhabit
the park throughout the day and through the
seasons, with views the Capitol, the WW2 Memorial
and the Washington Monument. The park engages
the surrounding historic city. Its classically paved
perimeter is lined with trees and modulated by
triangular plazas that protrude into the Memorial
topography evoking the movement of American
battalions in the French countryside. The mounds
frame views of the inner memorial, inviting passersby
to enter the landscape, climb, look down and discover
a groove in the earth that holds the memory of brave
Americans, and tells a story of heroism and atrocity
that changed this country.
53,402 glistening discs, one for every
American who died in combat.
90 The Fallen Fireﬁghters Memorial is situated in the heart of Hollywood, outside of the Old Fire Station 27 on Cahuenga Blvd. The dramatic plaza is home to a Memorial Wall, listing the names of every known department member who died while at an incident or as a result of a duty-related cause.

In front of this wall, a series of bronze statues, each one carefully representing an LA ﬁreﬁghter is on display. The statues represent a ﬁre company during an incident in the city. Two ﬁreﬁghters are involved in ﬁre attack, while a fallen member is being attended to by another member. The Captain, responsible for his crew and the ﬁre, is making a command decision relative to attacking the ﬂames, while also providing care for the downed ﬁreﬁghter.

The message the Memorial conveys changes depending on the angle and point of view. From any angle, the teamwork, spirit, and family nature of the ﬁre service is presented.

94 The proposed Memorial seeks to honor the memory of
the 17 people killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High
School through timeless beauty, art, and nature, in a
space that inspires reflection in a tranquil setting.
17 chapels are joined together to form a singular
memorial space commemorating each victim and
the unified strength of the Parkland and Coral Springs
communities. Surrounded by 17 gardens, one for each
victim, the Memorial’s organic form undulates upwards
and outwards creating a ring of intimate spaces for
individuals and small groups that is also a space for
togetherness.

The Memorial’s organic form expresses the power and
fragility of life. It’s form evokes the natural elements of flora, sand dunes and the oceanic life of Florida. The
height of the Memorial undulates from 2’ to 4’ high
creating a sense of space for the individual chapels while being open to the view of the entire site and surrounding community.

The Memorial is made of a durable natural stone, a rose colored granite that is smooth on one side and textured on the other. Each victim is commemorated with a
personalized sculpted stone relief which can be created by one or several artists inspired by interviews with the victim’s family. As the sun moves throughout the day,
the Memorial form and stone relief evolves through light and shadow with the passing of time, highlighting each
individual victim. At night, the Memorial form glows
softly at its base and is accented with bands of light.

Each of the victim names are underscored with light and their individual stone relief softly lit. A central undulating reflecting pool creates a focal point where the community can gather around and hold candle light vigils sharing
reflections and memories.

Surrounding the Memorial are 17 native flora gardens,
dedicated to each victim which gradually blend the
Memorial with the surrounding landscape. The plant
selection in each garden is personalized, evoking their spirit. Families, friends, and residents are invited to spend the day in the Memorial and the gardens, peacfully mourning and reconnecting with one another.

The Memorial is directly accessible from Preserve Plaza and connected with a path from the parking area along
the water edge.

The focus on nature will bring a biodiversity of plant and wildlife to the area featuring CA and Southwestern native plants.
