Evaluation Criteria Category Points Possible Points Awarded Professional Experience 30
Qualifications of Staff 25
Demonstrated Technical Ability 25
Experience with Public Works Projects 20
Total Points 100
Please note that this RFQ pertains to engineering and surveying services, and the above referenced scoring rubric will be used as guidance only. Given the nature of the services, the City reserves the right to utilize its discretion in awarding the project. The City also reserves the right to negotiate pricing and contract terms.

The City may hold interviews with any Consultant submitting a qualifications statement under this solicitation. These interviews will be held solely at the discretion of the City and after the qualifications statement scoring process. The intent of the City is to hold interviews only with top-scoring Consultants based on the selection process. The interviews would be attended by representatives of the City as well as the Consultant’s principal and licensed professional staff in responsible charge of the work. The interviews would be used to gain further insight into the Consultant’s capabilities for the purpose of making a recommendation for award of an agreement.

Following conclusion of the evaluation process, the Committee will score all Proposers according to the evaluation criteria set forth above. The Committee will conclude the evaluation process at this point, and make a recommendation for award. City staff shall notify the selected Consultant(s) of the final approval of the agreement by the City Council. Once submitted, all qualifications statements become public records and subject to disclosure, either in part or in whole, under the California Public Records Act. Proposals will not be made available to the public or competing firms until after the selection process has been completed.

Recommendation for award is contingent upon the successful negotiation of final contract terms.

Negotiations shall be confidential and not subject to disclosure to competing Proposers unless an agreement is reached. If contract negotiations cannot be concluded successfully within a time period determined by the City, the City may terminate negotiations and commence negotiations with the next highest scoring Proposer or withdraw the RFQ.

EXPARTE COMMUNICATIONS
Proposers and Proposers’ representatives cannot communicate with City Council members about this RFQ. In addition, Proposers and Proposers’ representatives cannot communicate outside the procedures set forth in this RFQ with an officer, employee or agent of the City,

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The Proposer warrants and represents that it presently has no interest and agrees that it will not acquire any interest which would present a conflict of interest under California Government Code sections 1090 et seq., or sections 87100 et seq., during the performance of services under any Agreement awarded. The Proposer further covenants that it will not knowingly employ any person having such an interest in the performance of any Agreement awarded.

17. Assignment Prohibited. No Party to this Agreement may assign any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement. Any attempt or purported assignment of any right or obligation pursuant to this Agreement shall be void and of no effect.

If the Services are suspended by City for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, for reasons other than the fault of the Professional, the Professional shall be compensated for Services performed prior to notice of such suspension. When the Project is resumed, the Professional's compensation shall be equitably adjusted by City to provide for expenses incurred by the interruption of the Services. In this regard, Professional shall furnish to City such financial information that, in the judgment of the City Manager, is necessary to determine the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional during the period when Services were suspended.

If the Parties are unable to agree upon the amount of extra compensation which is due to Professional within thirty (30) days of Professional resuming Services, the amount of such additional compensation, if any, that is required to appropriately compensate the Professional for its expenses incurred by the interruption of Services may, upon the request of either Party, be determined by arbitration conducted in accordance with the “Arbitration of Disputes” section of this Agreement. Such arbitration shall be commenced by the Professional no later than sixty (60) calendar days following the event which entitles the Parties to pursue arbitration unless the Parties agree in writing to an extended time period for commencement of arbitration. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all Parties shall carry on the Services and perform their duties during any arbitration proceedings, and City shall continue to make payments for the Services in progress as required by this Agreement.

In the event it is ever determined that any Product created by Professional or its subcontractors, or subcontractors under this Agreement, are not works for hire under U.S. law, Professional hereby assigns all copyrights to such Products to City. With the prior written approval of City's point of contact for the Project, Professional may retain and use copies of such Products for reference and as documentation of its experience and capabilities.

All Products shall become the property of City irrespective of where located or stored, and Professional agrees to deliver all such documents and information to City, without charge and in whatever form it exists, on the completion of the Professional's Services hereunder.

(b) If City terminates this Agreement for convenience before City issues the Notice to Proceed to Professional or before Professional commences any Services hereunder, whichever last occurs, City shall not be obligated to make any payment to Professional. If City terminates this Agreement after City has issued the Notice to Proceed to Professional and after Professional has commenced performance under this Agreement, City shall pay Professional the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional pursuant to this Agreement prior to termination of this Agreement. City shall not in any manner be liable for Professional's actual or projected lost profits had Professional completed the Services. Professional shall furnish to City such financial information that, in the judgment of the City Manager, is necessary to determine the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional prior to termination. In the event of a dispute as to the reasonable value of the Services rendered by Professional prior to termination and the Parties are unable to agree upon said amount within sixty (60) calendar days following the date of the notice of termination by City, such dispute may, upon the request of either Party, be resolved by arbitration conducted in accordance with the “Arbitration of Disputes” section of this Agreement. (c) Except as provided in this Agreement, in no event shall City be liable for costs incurred by or on behalf of Professional after the date of the notice of termination.

21. Assurance of Performance. If, at any time, City believes Professional may not be adequately performing its obligations under this Agreement or may fail to complete the Services as required by this Agreement, City may submit a written request to Professional for written assurances of performance and a plan to correct observed deficiencies in Professional's performance. Failure to provide written assurances subsequent to such written request, constitutes grounds to declare a breach under this Agreement.

CITY CONTRACT NO. 2025-093 9
{PLA2024}

22. Cancellation for Breach by Either Party. Should either Party fail to substantially perform its obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the other Party shall thereupon have the right to cancel the Agreement by giving written notice and specifying the effective date of such cancellation. If City cancels this Agreement for breach and it is subsequently determined that Professional did not fail to substantially perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement, then cancellation for breach by City shall be deemed, and treated, as termination for convenience.

Neither Party waives the right to recover damages against the other for breach of this Agreement, including any amount necessary to compensate City for all detriment proximately caused by Professional's failure to perform its obligations hereunder or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. City reserves the right to offset such damages against any payments owed to Professional.

City shall not in any manner be liable for Professional's actual or projected lost profits had Professional completed the Services required by this Agreement.

23. Non-Discrimination. In its performance of the Services, Professional shall adhere to City’s EEO Policy which states, “The City is committed to ensuring that all qualified individuals have a full and fair opportunity to compete in all phase of the hiring process and promotion, and to enjoy the benefits of employment with the City. All employees and applicants shall receive equal consideration and treatment in employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, amnesty, or status as a covered veteran in accordance with applicable federal or state statutes, the City’s ordinances, resolutions, rules or regulations.”
In addition, all agreements with sub-contractors will include language as required by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) that requires sub-contractors to maintain equal employment opportunity policies, and, as necessary, affirmative action policies.

24. Arbitration of Disputes. All claims, disputes, and other matters in question between City and Professional arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, including claims of Professional for extra compensation for Services related to the Project, shall be decided by arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1281 to 1284.2 of the California Code of Civil Procedure (the “Arbitration Laws”) unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise. The provisions of Section 1283.05 of the Arbitration Laws apply to any arbitration proceeding except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The arbitrator shall have authority to decide all issues between the Parties including, but not limited to, claims for extras, delay and liquidated damages, if any, provided for in this Agreement, matters involving defects in the work product of the Professional, rights to payment, and whether the necessary procedures for arbitration have been followed. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Notice of the demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other Party. The demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute, or other CITY CONTRACT NO. 2025-093 10
{PLA2024}
11/2024
matter in question has arisen, and in no event shall it be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim, dispute, or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitation.

The Parties shall jointly appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of giving of the notice of the demand for arbitration. If the Parties are unable to jointly agree upon the appointment of an arbitrator within said fifteen (15) calendar day period, and do not agree in writing to extend said period for a fixed period, then either Party may seek to have the arbitrator appointed by the Superior Court of Stanislaus County in accordance with the Arbitration Laws.

If any proceeding is brought to contest the right to arbitrate and it is determined that such right exists, the losing Party shall pay all costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the prevailing party.

In addition to the other rules of law which may be applicable to any arbitration hereunder, the following shall apply:
(a) Promptly upon the filing of the arbitration, each Party shall be required to set forth in writing and to serve upon each other Party a detailed statement of its contentions of fact and law.
(b) All parties to the arbitration shall be entitled to the discovery procedures as provided in Section 1283.05 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. (c) The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted as expeditiously as possible consistent with affording reasonable discovery as provided herein. (d) These additional rules shall be implemented and applied by the arbitrator.

The costs of arbitration shall be borne by the Parties as determined by the arbitrator, but each Party shall bear its own attorney's fees associated with the dispute with the other Party and to the arbitration.

25. Insurance Coverage. During the Term, the Professional shall maintain in full force and effect policies of insurance set forth herein, which shall be placed with insurers with a current A M Best’s rating of no less than A-:VII and will provide City with written proof of said insurance.

Professional shall maintain coverage as follows:

25.1. General Liability. Professional shall carry general liability insurance in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If commercial general liability insurance or another form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this Project or the general aggregate shall be Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00).

At the option of City, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to City, its elected and appointed councils, commissions, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives (“City’s Agents”); or the Professional shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to City guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claims administration and defense expenses.

25.4. Commercial Automobile Liability. Professional shall carry commercial automobile liability insurance in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) or greater per occurrence for owned, leased, hired, and borrowed automobiles.

25.5. Umbrella or Excess Policy. Professional may use Umbrella or Excess Policies to provide the liability limits as required in this agreement. This form of insurance will be acceptable provided that all of the Primary and Umbrella or Excess Policies shall provide all of the insurance coverages herein required. The Umbrella or Excess policies shall be provided on a true “following form” or broader coverage basis, with coverage at least as broad as provided on the underlying Commercial General Liability and automobile Liability insurance. No insurance policies maintained by the Additional Insureds, whether primary or excess, and which also apply to a loss covered hereunder, shall be called upon to contribute to a loss until the Professional’s primary and excess liability policies are exhausted.

25.6. Waiver of Subrogation. With the exception of errors and omissions liability insurance, Professional hereby agrees to waive subrogation which any insurer of Professional may acquire from Professional by virtue of the payment of any loss. The commercial general liability policy and workers’ compensation policy shall be endorsed to contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of City for all work performed by Professional, its agents, employees, independent contractors, and subcontractors. Professional agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation.

26. Additional Insurance Requirements. Within five (5) days of the Effective Date, Professional shall provide City with certificates of insurance for all of the policies required under this Agreement (“Certificates”), excluding the required workers’ compensation insurance. Such Certificates shall be kept current for the Term of the Agreement and Professional shall be responsible for providing updated copies and notifying City if a policy is cancelled, suspended, reduced, or voided.

{PLA2024}
11/2024
insurance policies required in this Agreement shall: (a) provide that the policy will not be cancelled, allowed to expire, or materially reduced in coverage without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to City of such cancellation, expiration, or reduction and each policy shall be endorsed to state such; (b) name City, and City’s Agents as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of Services, work or operations performed by or on behalf of Professional; (c) cover products and completed operations of Professional, premises owned, occupied, or used by the Professional, or automobiles owned, leased, or hired or borrowed by the Professional; contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City; (d) be primary with respect to any insurance or self-insurance programs covering City or City’s Agents and any insurance or selfinsurance maintained by City or City’s Agents shall be in excess of Professional’s insurance and shall not contribute to it; (e) contain standard separation of insured provisions; and (f) state that any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policy including breaches of warranties shall not affect the coverage provided to City.

When the law establishes a professional standard of care for any portion of the Services provided under this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Professional shall defend with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to City, indemnify and hold harmless City and City’s Agents from and against any and all claims, loss, cost, damage, injury (including, without limitation, injury to or death of an employee of Professional or its subcontractors), expense and liability of every kind, nature and description that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to acts or omissions of Professional, or any direct or indirect subcontractor, employee, contractor, representative or agent of Professional, or anyone that Professional controls (collectively “Liabilities”). Such obligations to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify City and City’s Agents shall not apply to the extent that such Liabilities are caused in whole by the sole negligence, active negligence, or willful misconduct of City or City’s Agents, but shall apply to all other Liabilities. With respect to third party claims against the Professional, the Professional waives any and all rights of any type of express or implied indemnity against City and City’s Agents.

27.2 Indemnification for Other Than Professional Liability. Other than in the performance of professional services and to the full extent permitted by law, Professional shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and any and all of its elective and appointive boards, officers, officials, agents, employees or volunteers from and against any liability (including liability for claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged or threatened, including legal counsel’s fees and costs, court costs, interest, defense costs, and expert witness fees), where the same arise out of, are a consequence of, or are in any way attributable to, in whole or in part, the performance of this Agreement by Professional or by any individual or agency for which Professional is legally liable, including, but not limited to, officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors of Professional.

Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating an employment, agency or partnership relationship between City and Professional.

*Please see all Key Staff Resumes & Qualifications in Appendix B. 6 Blair, Church & Flynn will dedicate the necessary resource hours to deliver our work product in a timely manner to meet all project schedule deadlines. The distribution of work hours for the key members of our project team will vary throughout the design, bidding, and construction phases. A brief description for each key professional is provided below.

Project Manager
The Project Manager will remain the same throughout the project. Project management requires an initial substantial time dedication to the project to create a project management plan, project schedule, assemble and execute subconsultant contracts, schedule and coordinate the project kick-off meeting, and other required work to get the project initiated and moving forward. This commitment can range from 50% to 80% of the work week beginning on the issuance of the notice to proceed. As the design process moves forward the bulk of the project time commitment moves to the Project Engineer. During this period, the time commitment of the Project Manager may range from 2% to 10% of a work week to address project issues and ensure the project is moving forward on schedule. Similar time commitments will occur during the bidding and construction phases.

Project Engineer
The Project Engineer’s will remain the same throughout the project. Their commitment to the project is heavily weighted to the design phases.

A typical commitment for an individual design phase may include a 10% work week commitment while our support staff prepares the base drawings necessary for Project Engineer to perform the phase level design. Once the base plans are in the hands of the Project Engineer, it is typical for the Project Engineer to commit 80% to 100% of their time performing the engineering design. This commitment to the project is continuous until the design phase requirements are complete.

Support Staff
Support staff includes assistant engineers, drafting and clerical personnel. The size of Blair, Church & Flynn provides an ample supply of support staff to ensure the project deadlines are achieved. It is our normal practice to maintain the same support staff members throughout the length of the project to maintain the team’s cumulative project knowledge. If, for some reason, a support staff member cannot preform their work responsibilities due to illness or other unforeseen circumstance, we can bring in equally experienced and qualified staff from other groups within our office to perform the work required until the original staff member can return to their project work responsibilities. The time commitment of support staff team members will typically begin the same day an assignment is given and will encompass 100% of their work time until the assignment is complete.

Subconsultants (If Needed)
Our team subconsultants understand the need to meet the submittal deadlines of a project and are committed to supplying our internal design staff with the information and design content in a timely manner.

OUR SERVICES Description of work for each available service in sections Sample of Work and Appendix A.
11 Our project team members have been actively involved in the planning, evaluation, rehabilitation and design of water, wastewater and recycled water infrastructure for decades. Our clients have included dozens of municipalities and agencies throughout California, including the Central Valley municipalities and their Department of Public Utilities (DPU). Specifically, we have first-hand experience and expertise in:
• Reclaimed & recycled water pipeline design
• Water main extensions & replacement design
• Sewer main extensions, rehabilitation & replacement
design
When George Blair established the firm in 1958, it was with the intention of providing an innovative approach to water resources, water delivery, and flood control management. And for more than six decades we have kept this philosophy; successfully serving numerous municipalities, regulated utilities and water districts throughout California.

Our qualifications for design of water treatment, recycled water infrastructure, water pipelines and water storage is extensive.

Approximately 90% of the infrastructure work undertaken by Blair, Church & Flynn ultimately involves the preparation of construction documents. Our engineers and surveyors are experienced with topographical surveying, establishing public right-of-way and private property, performing utility research and investigations, as well as developing comprehensive base mapping to support engineering work.

WE KNOW THE CENTRAL VALLEY’S
What makes Blair, Church & Flynn unique? We bring to the City of Turlock our extensive water, wastewater and recycled water design experience, as well as the first-hand technical know-how, that is essential for the success of a project. 12 WE KNOW ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
Blair, Church & Flynn believes that a successful transportation project must be designed with sensitivity to the community, diligence to technical and functional criteria, and complete awareness of schedule and cost. The secret to success: high levels of communication, a willingness to be flexible and an eye for both the big picture and the details.

We believe that Blair, Church & Flynn is the best resource available for accomplishing a successful Federally Funded Transportation project because of our team’s experience and knowledge of overlay and roadway improvements, pavement rehabilitation and replacement, sidewalk installation, access ramps, ADA compliance, as well as traffic control plans, utility coordination and construction assistance.

Over the past six decades, Blair, Church & Flynn has designed millions of square feet of pavement, as well as hundreds of miles of streets and highways within California, in both urban and rural environments. We understand street design, roadway geometry and continuously evaluate project components that can be commonly overlooked.

Effective design for local transportation projects is critical and through the years we have undertaken numerous roadway projects that use specific agency design standards.

OUR ROADWAY QA / QC
Blair, Church & Flynn has an established QA/QC
Program to guide and document the policies and
procedures implemented by our staff, assuring that our
services continue to meet the highest standards of excellence.

Our firm’s QA/QC Program includes guidelines for all levels of professional staff as it relates to quality control procedures, communications and project assignments.

A copy of this program is available to all clients on request.

13 For more than six decades our firm has been providing responsive and accurate land surveying services to clients. We know that quality data requires the right people and the right tools.

Blair, Church & Flynn survey crews are directed by a Licensed Professional Land Surveyor and are staffed with seasoned field surveyors averaging more than 15 years of experience. To improve communication, interaction and contract execution, all land surveying field survey crews are equipped with state of the art WiFi hot spots, emergency SOS beacons, satellite phones, iOS devices, and Microsoft Surface tablet computers. Beyond better project delivery and safety, these technologies also maximize data security and data backup. Ultimately, the Blair, Church & Flynn understands its responsibility to deliver clients with the highest possible level of service—utilizing the most effective set of tools, techniques, personnel, and resources in order to deliver results that reduce overall project risk rather than contributing to it, and accelerate a project schedule rather than impeding it.

HIGHLIGHTED EXAMPLES OF OUR FIRM’S LAND
SURVEY EXPERIENCE INCLUDE:
• Equipped with Leica survey-grade receivers, Blair, Church & Flynn’s land surveying crews have successfully surveyed and as-builted nearly 40 miles of high-pressure natural gas pipeline replacement projects, as well as junction stations, tie-ins, valve sites, and hydro-test projects.
• In one year alone, our land surveying crews provided
topographical mapping to nearly 100 project sites for electric vehicle charging stations being developed by utility companies. • Our survey team was responsible for the topographic, boundary, and land acquisition support needed for more than 16 miles of water transmission main pipeline, 25 miles of recycled water transmission mains, and 35 miles of sewer collection pipelines throughout the Central Valley area.
• We have current Master Services Agreements (MSAs) for territory-wide land surveying services for Southern California Edison (SCE), Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E), Southern California Gas Company (SoCal Gas), and South West Gas
Company. Many of these MSAs are on their second or third renewal. We also hold MSAs wtih the Department of Water Resources, and Caltrans.

WE KNOW LAND SURVEYING
14 WE KNOW
For more than three decades, Blair, Church & Flynn has provided professional design services for a broad scope of community parks, green spaces, active recreation, and athletic venues and intramural spaces throughout California. Our design work for clients has included site work such as ADA improvements, pavement rehabilitation and parking lots, irrigation design and improvements, and new planting and landscape improvements. We’ve also assisted with the design of new facilities such as splash parks, play equipment, shade structures, soccer fields, play courts, swim complexes, portable bleachers, sports lighting and in most instances, these many amenities can be woven together creating recreation complexes.

And we believe that the Blair, Church & Flynn team, which includes licensed landscape architects, civil engineers, structural engineers, and electrical engineers can offer public agencies the exciting option of both the technical know-how, and the eye for beauty, that produces unparalleled park and recreation facilities. Blair, Church & Flynn is extraordinarily qualified to provide municipal clients with design services for recreation and green spaces and the site work or off-site improvements that are often included in these types of projects. Our entire team believes it’s of paramount importance that balance is achieved between aesthetics and engineering fundamentals, making every dollar count. And not just today’s dollar, but every dollar for the lifespan of the facility.

Our landscape design approach is based on an overall perspective that encompasses sustainable and multi-beneficial goals in water use and processes, floral communities and guilds, locally available and cost effective materials, and human well-being and enjoyment.

A primary focus of many of our projects is the two interrelated components of efficient water application and appropriate plant selection and design. Landscapes can be constructed using local and recycled materials to the greatest extent possible. Materials and products that reduce energy use, both embodied and operational, will be used and promoted whenever possible.

It is this first-hand experience that has successfully guided projects and clients seamlessly from master planning through construction, and then onto the ribbon cutting and community use.

16 Over the last six and a half decades, Blair, Church & Flynn has built a solid reputation with public agencies and municipalities for thorough project planning, frequent communication, flexibility, and an eye for both the big picture and the details. We’ve carried this approach throughout our work, using this style of delivery with agencies and contractors on thousands of successful projects.

How We Successfully Deliver Projects:

Our principals and project managers personally lead small teams of engineers, landscape architects, designers, and other experts, ensuring each project receives the best resources tailored to its unique design, schedule, and manpower needs. We employ cross-trained designers who understand how various design elements interact with landscape architecture, aligning closely with each project’s vision and requirements.

Our team uses streamlined workflows to manage resources, enhance productivity, improve communication, and control costs. Clients value our reliable scheduling, which empowers our engineers to navigate the project development process with confidence and predictability.

To support a seamless delivery, we’ve integrated Newforma, an advanced project management software, into our process. This tool helps us schedule, assign, and track engineering tasks, review comments, and confirm revisions with current plans. Every task, milestone, budget, and completion status are carefully monitored and documented.

We prioritize cost control with state-of-the-art time tracking and billing software, weekly updates on work progress, and a custom in-house database of historical and current construction costs.

Over time, we’ve found that our management approach not only fosters strong client relationships but also highlights the value of dedicated design professionals who consistently deliver on-time, on-budget, and cost-effective solutions.

Our flexible approach allows us to scale our involvement based on the program’s phases or a project’s timeline. Our teams follow structured workflows that detail each step needed to complete specific tasks, ensuring consistent, reliable results.

An essential component of our firm’s success is our strong, longstanding relationships with clients, such as Central Valley agencies and municipalities.

City of Hanford East Side Sanitary Sewer Trunk Main & Expansion 27 The City of Fresno acquired a 49-acre location in 2005 from the U.S.

National Park Service and is now planning to develop the property into a sprawling 50-acre park, called South Peach Avenue Park, to best serve the residents of Southeast Fresno.

The park will include play structures, ball fields, active and passive facilities, various areas of shade, universal accessibility, drought-tolerant landscapes, and low-water-use plants.

The new park will be constructed in three phases, and Blair, Church & Flynn will provide engineering and landscape architecture services to assist on Phase 1 of the project. Our firm’s first task was working with the City’s internal stakeholder team to prepare a master development concept drawing that will be used in the initial community engagement meeting.

Prior to this meeting, an advertising campaign for this project started, consisting of both digital advertising and a mailed advertisement. The goal of this campaign is to advise the surrounding residents on when and where they can attend the planned community engagement events, and to provide an opportunity for residents to complete a survey that will provide basic feedback to the project team on community priorities and needs.

After survey responses and the first meeting input are recorded, our firm will develop a revised proposed overall Master Plan. We will then provide a OPCC, attend two more community engagement meetings, and provide a final Master Site Plan. After DP approval is obtained, we will prepare a Phase 1 construction drawing package and submit it for plan check to the City and other local Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ’s).

Additionally, our firm will be working collaboratively with the City’s Public Works Department on the off-site project for the widening of Peach Avenue.

Other off-site improvements will include paving, curbs and gutters, wheelchair ramps, sidewalks, street lighting, sewer, water and storm drain facilities, applications for new PG&E service for street lighting, and relocation of franchise utilities.

Other scope items will include Geotechnical Engineering investigations, including soil borings for any Phase 1 building structures, R-value testing for Phase 1 pavement design, and preparation of a soils report, as well as site utility design. The proposed construction budget for the Park’s Phase 1 is $7.2 million.

Peach Avenue Park Conceptual Master Plan:

The new park could include recreation
amenities such as soccer fields, picnic areas,
gardens, fitness stations, basketball courts, as
well as an amphitheater, food plaza, walking
loop, event lawn and dog park.

28 This project was the modernization of infrastructure for the Turlock Unified School District. The aging Turlock science building was demolished, and redesigned in a contemporary style for the District. The previous Turlock High School science building was nearly 60 years old, but had outlived its use due to a growing population of students and teachers.

Turlock Unified School District‘s goal of this project was to develop various modernization improvements at Turlock High School, including additional security fencing, construction of new parking improvements along the north side of East Canal Drive, improvements to the parking lot for the Industrial Building, and removal and replacement of the existing Science Building. This included the new construction of the Science Building. The improvements also included a parking lot, a concrete sidewalk plaza, and landscaping.

Services provided by Blair, Church & Flynn consisted of completing all civil engineering tasks, including preparing construction documents for the demolition, site, grading and drainage, utility connections (domestic water and sanitary sewer), and landscaping and irrigation improvements required for the building. We also provided designs for the sidewalk and inlets, fencing, land surveying, and SWPPP services.
