WHEREAS, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990, establishing a clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination to ensure the civil rights of people with disabilities; and WHEREAS, disability is a social construct. The ‘problem’ is not the medical condition that resides within the individual, but the ‘problem’ is that society does not create a welcoming, supporting environment/policies/systems for all; and
WHEREAS, equitable experiences and full inclusion is a matter of social justice. Consequently, creating equitable, inclusive environments is a shared responsibility of everyone; and WHEREAS, policies must be developed, attitudes shaped, and equitable experiences offered to all individuals; including those with developmental disabilities; and WHEREAS, the ADA has expanded opportunities for Americans with disabilities; and WHEREAS, citizens should do all in their power to:
• Recognize the value and intersectionality of the disability experience in our lives and its valued role in our rich diversity.
• Recognize the barriers presented to those with disabilities. • Create ways to include everyone, especially those with developmental disabilities, to be fully included in all aspects of life.
• Understand the losses (financial, spiritual, human rights, contributions to the community, and otherwise) when our communities segregate and create barriers for those with disabilities. • Demand policymakers no longer invest in segregation and create inclusive, equitable policies and systems for all.
WHEREAS, we encourage the community to learn more about ADA, eliminate discrimination, and celebrate July 26, 2022, as Disability Independence Day.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Ukiah, hereby proclaims July 26, 2022, as
Disability Independence Day in the City of Ukiah
Signed and sealed, this 20th day of July in the year Two Thousand and Twenty-Two.

The citizens of the City of Ukiah recognize that this effort was bolstered by our local representatives and an Executive Order from Governor Gavin Newsom, which prioritized and funded fuel reduction work in the Ukiah Valley, along with 34 other priority communities.While the work that was done previously made an immediate and significant impact, continued maintenance and mitigation measures are critical to ongoing community safety.The Fire Safe Council of Mendocino County has been proactive in looking for funding sources to continue the fire prevention and mitigation work.
Discussion: Fire Safe Council of Mendocino County has secured funding to conduct the necessary environmental review for properties identified for potential fuel reduction activities. The City of Ukiah owns land in some of the identified areas, and to facilitate the work, will need to enter into an agreement with the Fire Safe Council of Mendocino County to allow their staff and contractors to access the properties.
Please refer to the drafted landowner access agreement as Attachment #1. The environmental review to meet the standards of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) will include archaeological and botanist work. The work will be done by trained archaeological surveyors who have been educated in cultural resource research, surveying, discovery, and documentation. CEQA compliant projects require that potential negative impacts to cultural resources (both historic and prehistoric) be evaluated and avoided. Likewise, botanists will perform all CEQA required scoping, research, mapping, and field surveys required to identify sensitive plant species within a project area. Because the Fire Safe Council of Mendocino County has funding secured for this project, there is no financial impact to the City for this item, although Staff will lend support as needed.
Staff recommends that Council approve the City Manager to negotiate and execute a landowner access agreement with the Fire Safe Council of Mendocino County. As always, it is important to remember that residents have a critical role in creating defensible space around their own homes and property. Additionally, information about how residents and their families can prepare for wildfire can be found online at www.readyforwildfire.org.
Recommended Action: Authorize City Manager to negotiate and execute a landowner access agreement with the Fire Safe Council of Mendocino County for environmental review work towards fire prevention and mitigation efforts on City-owned properties.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution of the City Council Reconsidering the Circumstances of the State of Emergency and Implementing Teleconferencing Requirements for City Council and Board and Commission Meetings During a Proclaimed State of Emergency Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
DEPARTMENT: City Attorney PREPARED BY: Darcy Vaughn, Assistant City Attorney PRESENTER: Consent Calendar
ATTACHMENTS:
1. AB 361 Findings Reconsideration for All Legislative Bodies Summary: The City Council will consider adopting a resolution reconsidering the circumstances of the state of emergency and implementing teleconferencing requirements for public meetings of the Council and all City Commissions and Boards during the current state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Background: The City Council is being asked to consider adopting a resolution authorizing continued remote meetings of the Council and its subordinate legislative bodies due to the imminent risk to the health and safety of attendees due to possible transmission of COVID-19 and the recent spread of variants. The current County health orders strongly recommends masking in all indoor facilities due to health and safety concerns. COVID19 is highly transmissible in indoor settings and requires multi-component prevention strategies to reduce its spread. The California Department of Public Health is currently investigating the length of vaccine protection.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends avoiding indoor spaces that do not offer fresh air from the outdoors as much as possible. Returning to meeting in the Council Chambers or smaller conference rooms means being in an enclosed space for meetings that commonly last for one to five hours and would seem to create additional exposure for participants to a possible transmission of the virus.
The Ralph M. Brown Act (“Brown Act”) requires that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency be open and public and that any person may attend and participate in such meetings. The Brown Act allows for legislative bodies to hold meetings by teleconference, but imposes specific requirements for doing so, including allowing public access to that location. On March 17, 2020, in order to address the need for public meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order No. N-29-20, temporarily suspending the Brown Act’s teleconferencing requirements, Executive Order No. N-8-2 then continued the suspension of the Brown Act’s teleconferencing requirements from June 11, 2021 through September 30, 2021. These Executive Orders allowed legislative bodies to meet virtually as long as certain notice and accessibility requirements were met.
The State Legislature amended the Brown Act through Assembly Bill No. 361 (“AB 361”) on September 16, 2021. As with the Executive Orders, AB 361 requires that certain notice and accessibility requirements continue to be met for holding virtual public meetings. In addition, AB 361 states that a local agency may use teleconferencing without complying with the regular teleconferencing requirements of the Brown Act, where the legislative body holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency and makes certain findings; and requires that the legislative body make additional findings every 30 days in order to continue such teleconferencing.
As such, Staff recommends that the Council reconsider the circumstances of the state of emergency, and make findings regarding the state of emergency by adopting the Resolution Implementing Teleconferencing
Requirements for City Council and Board and Commission Meetings During a Proclaimed State of Emergency Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic (“Resolution”) attached here as Attachment 1.
Discussion: AB 361, codified in part in Government Code § 54953, allows a local agency legislative body to hold a public meeting utilizing teleconferencing without giving public access to a teleconference location but allowing public comment virtually if the Governor has proclaimed a State of Emergency and any of the following circumstances also apply:
1. State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.
2. The meeting is being held for the purposes of determining, by majority vote, whether as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
3. The legislative body has determined that as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
As amended by AB 361, Government Code § 54953(e)(3) requires cities that are conducting public meetings via teleconferencing during a declared State of Emergency to make findings, within 30 days of the first virtual meeting after AB361 going into effect, and every 30 days thereafter, that the legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency and either 1) the emergency continues to impact the ability to meet safely in person, and/or 2) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing.
Council adopted these findings at their June 15, 2022 meeting. The Council must now adopt, via this Resolution (Attachment 1), the findings that confirm the circumstances of the state of emergency and justify holding public meetings of the Council and all subordinate commissions, boards, and committees utilizing teleconferencing and allowing public comment virtually, pursuant to Government Code § 54953(e)(3).
Given recent modifications to the health order, Staff is currently utilizing and fine-tuning a hybrid meeting option that allows for in-person and remote participation in an effort to accommodate all needs and choices.
Staff will be working with the Mayor to coordinate continued implementation.
Recommended Action: Adopt a Resolution of the City Council Reconsidering the Circumstances of the State of Emergency and Implementing Teleconferencing Requirements for City Council and Board and Commission Meetings during a Proclaimed State of Emergency Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Possible Adoption of an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Ukiah Repealing Articles 1A and 2 in Division 1, Chapter 4 of the Ukiah City Code to Remove References to Obsolete Boards and Commissions.

1. Obsolete Boards and Commissions Ordinance intro
Summary: Council will consider adopting the Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Ukiah repealing Articles 1A and 2 in Division 1, Chapter 4 of the Ukiah City Code to remove references to obsolete boards and commissions.
Background: Council recently adopted an ordinance creating the Public Spaces Commission and repealing the provisions in Division 1, Chapter 4 of the City Code establishing the Paths, Creeks, and Open Space Commission and the Parks, Recreation, and Golf Commission. In addition, the Council also established the Diversity and Equity Committee. During the course of drafting these ordinances, it was brought to the attention of Staff that a number of boards and commissions established and regulated by articles in Division 1, Chapter 4 were now obsolete, had not met for a number of years, and were not likely to reconvene. As a result, Staff recommends that Council introduce and adopt a clean-up ordinance to remove these references to obsolete boards and commissions.
Discussion: The Ordinance, attached here as Attachment 1, will repeal Division 1, Chapter 4, Article 1A of the Ukiah City Code, which establishes and sets procedures and requirements for the Cultural Arts Advisory Board. This Board no longer meets and Staff does not foresee any possibility that this Board will reconvene.
The Ordinance will repeal Division 1, Chapter 4, Article 2 of the Ukiah City Code, which establishes and sets procedures and requirements for the Industrial Development Commission. This Commission no longer meets and Staff does not foresee any possibility that this Commission will reconvene.
In order to remove provisions in the City Code regarding obsolete boards and commissions, Staff recommends that the Council introduce by title only the Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Ukiah Repealing Articles 1A and 2 in Division 1, Chapter 4 of the Ukiah City Code to Remove References to Obsolete Boards and Commissions.
This ordinance was introduced by title only on June 15, 2022. The current version of the Ordinance reflects a wide array of community, City staff, and Council input. The Ordinance is now ready for consideration for adoption and would go into effect thirty (30) days after adoption.
Recommended Action: Adopt the Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Ukiah repealing Articles 1A and 2 in Division 1, Chapter 4 of the Ukiah City Code to remove references to obsolete boards and commissions.

Summary: Council to receive and file the adopted 2022-23 Fiscal Year City of Ukiah budget document.
Background: A budget for local government is meant to be a dynamic, malleable, and useful tool for decisionmakers and the community. It conveys a number of different messages to the community served, including how available resources will be allocated. The budget is encapsulated in a single document to deliver that message. The City’s Management Team recognizes and appreciates the City Council’s support for a welldeveloped and clear budget document. The presented budget document represents a continued improvement in content, form, and presentation and is a continuation of the framework developed last year to meet the highest professional standards of budgeting.
The Council received Departmental Presentations at special meetings on June 1 and June 2, 2022. Council approved and adopted the City's budget for the 2022-23 fiscal year and Gann Limit through resolution at the June 15, 2022 meeting.
The budget document presents information and data at the fund level, a departmental/division summary level, and a department/division detail expenditure/revenue line level. The detail is delivered through OpenGov.

The Planning Division currently consists of two full-time Planning Manager positions and one part-time Planning Manager. Although the Community Development Director assists with current and long-range planning, the majority of planning work is completed by the planning team.
With the recent vacancy of one of the full-time Planning Managers, Staff has evaluated the effectiveness of the structure of the Planning Division in meeting the expectations of customers and planning for the future.
The review has also incorporated the existing and anticipated priorities of the Planning Division and how best to assign resources to meet those priorities.
Discussion: Based on this review, and with input from the City Manager and Human Resources/Risk Management Director, the following is recommended:
1. Eliminate the vacant full-time Planning Manager position and replace with an Associate Planner position (Attachment 1).
Approximately 50% of all the current planning work consists of the processing of minor discretionary permits and ministerial application reviews. Although the Division is taking steps to streamline application review requirements- and plans to pursue further streamlining efforts in the future- the review and processing of these minor discretionary applications takes time. In other cities and counties, this work is typically processed by a Planner I/II or Associate Planner position.
The Division also has a need for more routine long-range planning, such as for program implementation related to the 2040 General Plan, State law mandates (SB 9, AB 68, AB 881, SB 13, etc.), annual reporting (HCD Housing Element Annual Progress Report and Office of Planning and Research Annual Progress Report), proposed annexations (Brush Street/Masonite area, Western Hills, etc.), and zoning code updates (Downtown Zoning Code, Airport Overlay, etc.).
2. Reclassify the currently filled full-time Planning Manager position to a Chief Planning Manager position. The
annual salary for the Chief Planning Manager would be set to the same range as the Chief Building Official, $108,927.12 - $132,401.52.
To supervise the Associate Planner position, as well as having a primary Planner responsible for Division budget and workflow, Staff proposes reclassification of the one full-time Planning Manager position to a Chief Planning Manager position (Attachment 2). The Chief Planning Manager would work with the Community Development Director in facilitating the long-range planning vision for the City, including proactive styles of new planning, research, and analysis. The Chief Planning Manager would also be responsible for monitoring work flow, timelines, and delivery of services and creatively thinking through and suggesting solutions to complicated planning issues.
3. Increase the number of hours of the currently filled part-time Planning Manager from up to 24 hours per week to up to 32 hours per week.
Since December 2020, the current part-time Planning Manager has served as the City's principal CEQA planner. During this time, the Division has experienced a substantial (approximately 150%) increase in CEQArelated undertakings. This workload is expected to increase more in the coming years, as many of the action items identified by the 2040 General Plan will require CEQA analysis. Services have been completed on behalf of multiple City departments, as well as for current and long-range planning projects. The part-time Planning Manager also regularly processes minor and major discretionary permit applications and serves as a "go-to" planner for current and special planning projects when the Director and full-time Planning Managers shift to more pressing long-range planning priorities. To continue to timely progress projects and applications for the City, an increase in the part-time Planning Manager's hours to up to 32 hours per week is needed.
A budget amendment is not necessary for FY 2022-23, as the proposed minor restructuring is not expected to result in a significant fiscal change to the Planning Division's budget.
For the reasons identified above, Staff recommends Council approve the minor Planning Division reorganization.
Recommended Action: Approve reorganization of Planning Division of Community Development Department.

1. Coastland - Clara Ave Project 2122257 - Proposal
Summary: Council will receive report of the acquisition of a professional services contract for the revisions to the plans and specifications of the Clara Avenue Reconstruction project.
Background: Originally, plans and specifications for Clara Avenue were completed in 2020 and then further revised to increase the chance the project would be CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funded.
Once it was determined that CDBG funds were not going to be available any time soon and street conditions were only getting worse, Staff shifted their projected construction schedule to begin work on Clara this construction season. On June 29, 2022, Council approved the plans and specifications for Clara Avenue and directed Staff to advertise for bids.
Discussion: During the approval to advertise for bids, it was determined that a few alterations to the existing plans would be needed to further address the City’s Complete Streets guidelines and to address existing site conditions.
Coastland Engineers Inc. developed the original plans and specifications in 2020 and were approached again to coordinate with City Staff to make the revisions needed to the plans. See Attachment 1 for a copy of the proposal for the revisions.
Revisions to the plans and specifications include the removal of the curving chicane curb line on the east end of Clara, adjustments to the water main and jack/bore work under the railroad tracks, striping, and updates to the construction estimate.
Council is asked to receive the report of the acquisition of a professional services contract for the plans and specifications modifications for the Clara Avenue Reconstruction Project with Coastland Engineers Inc. in the amount of $15,420, and approve the corresponding budget amendments.
Recommended Action: Receive report of the acquisition of a professional services contract for the plans and specifications modifications for the Clara Avenue Reconstruction Project with Coastland Engineers Inc. in the amount of $15,420, and approve corresponding budget amendments.

Subject: Professional Engineering Services Relating to the Clara Avenue Project Dear Andrew,
We are pleased to provide you with this proposal for the additional engineering design services for the Clara Ave Project.
Project Background
The City is in the process of advertising the Clara Ave Improvement project for bidding and would like to make some changes on the plans. It is intended to issue the plan changes as an addendum on July 19th, 2022. We understand the items that need to be changed/revised are as follows:
1. Remove the curving chicane curb line on the south side of Clara near Orchard and the associated chicane island. The City would like to transition from the FL at the SW ramp of Orchard into the FL at the current tangent section approximately 300’ to the west. This curbline realignment will require a relocation of two street lights, one of which has been missing for years. The City would like us to show a probable location for the street light behind the new curb with notations to reroute the wiring with direction from City Electric. Costs for the street light relocations will likely need to be a lump sum item.
2. Jog the new water main north at the previous chicane location to be within the roadway section, which will likely end up being at the edge of the new curb and gutter. We will provide as much separation between the water and sewer mains while keeping the water main within the roadway section. If the standard 10’ separation cannot be achieved, we will provide a minimum of 5’ separation and use the higher pressure class pipe material (pressure class 235/DR18) which meets Division of Drinking Water requirements.
3. Replace the jack/bore work under the railroad tracks with continued trenching through that location and removal of the R/R tie and rail to be stacked along the existing railroad onsite.

Andrew Stricklin, City of Ukiah
Design efforts for these changes/revisions include updated plan and profile plans, striping plans and cross sections. We will also provide updated quantities for bidding as well as any updated technical specifications and an engineer’s estimate of construction cost.
Based on the above understanding of the additional required services, we have prepared the following scope of work and estimated fee for your consideration.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 – Updated PS&E Documents
We will prepare updated stamped/signed plan and profile plan sheets, striping plans and cross sections for changes outlined above. We will prepare an updated engineer’s estimate of costs as well as an updated quantity list that can be used to update the bid proposal form. We will also provide updated technical specification sections as required. We assume the City will prepare the addendum document to be issued to Contractors and will incorporate the updated documents (plan sheets, bid quantities list and updated technical specifications) provided by Coastland.
ESTIMATED COSTS
Based on our scope of work, we are proposing that the services associated with additional design efforts be completed for a not-to-exceed amount of $15,420. The amount quoted is assuming that all of the work for this project will fall under the scope of work as previously described. If additional work is necessary that falls outside of this scope of work, we can either re-negotiate a new scope of work or provide these services on a time and materials basis per our adopted schedule of hourly rates.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
COASTLAND

Summary: Council will consider awarding a contract to Granite Construction Company in the amount of $1,511,529.90 for the State Street and Dora Street Rehabilitation Project, Specification No.19-01.
Background: The City Council approved the sale of lease revenue bonds to pay for street improvements and the renovation of the City’s aged Corporation Yard during the meeting on February 2, 2022, and then approved the plans and specifications (Attachment 1) for the State Street and Dora Street Rehabilitation Project at the March 2, 2022, meeting and directed Staff to advertise for bids. Project plans were also reviewed by the Complete Streets Ad Hoc Committee.
This project is meant to rehabilitate State Street and Dora Street from Beacon Way to Cherry Street and Washington Ave., respectively. Improvements include a 2” overlay along the street, ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and pedestrian improvements, and a continuous bike lane in both directions.
Discussion: The City received three construction bids for this project on July 13, 2022 (Attachment 2).
Granite Construction Company was the low bidder with a bid amount of $1,511,529.90. A copy of the bid is provided in Attachment 3.
It is Staff’s recommendation to award the bid for Specification No. 21-04 for the State Street and Dora Street Rehabilitation Project in the amount of $1,511,529.90 to Granite Construction Company. Staff included the 10% ($151,152.99) change order authority to the budget amendment request to cover any necessary change orders during construction.
Engineering Staff applied for funding through the California Transportation Commission (CTC) Local Partnership Program, which will reimburse $600,000.00 of the project’s total. See Attachment 4.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Report of the Acquisition of Consulting Services with GHD Inc. for Flood Mapping Review Support in the Amount of $19,272.00.

1. GHD Proposal - FEMA Flood Mapping Review - Apr 22 att 1 Summary: Council will receive a report of the acquisition of a professional service contract with GHD for flood mapping review support not to exceed the amount of $19,272.00.
Background: This item was originally reported and approved in January of 2022, but the work did not proceed at that time due to conflicting schedules; thus, the contract price was revised for an additional $2,272.00. Therefore, Staff is sharing this update with the Council.
In 2020, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) began the process of updating the flood plain elevations throughout the City of Ukiah. The first preliminary results were reported to the City Engineering team in 2021. The results were radically different than what currently exists in the City, the implications of which could have significant impacts on development and insurance rates throughout the city. Since that time, in order to protect the interests and investments of the community, City Staff has worked on solutions with FEMA staff to review the study results and discuss contradictions with observed historic flood events in the City. In short, City Staff have been concerned about the fact that the FEMA study does not seem to reflect what City Staff has witnessed in the City. The Engineering Department has searched for experts in the hydraulic field in order to assist in the review of the FEMA results.
Discussion: The Engineering Staff discussed this issue with experts in the hydraulic field with GHD Engineering. Staff also discussed this approach with FEMA and both agree that the additional expert review and engagement is going to be helpful to this process. GHD provided a proposal for this review (Attachment1).
GHD will be able to start immediately and FEMA will share their flood models with our experts for a more robust review of this model that the Engineering Staff is questioning. As part of the scope of work, GHD will prepare technical memo for Staff and Council review. This will be a high-level review with recommendations for further study and collaboration as needed.
Recommended Action: Receive the report of the acquisition of a professional service contract with GHD for flood mapping review support not to exceed the amount of $19,272.00 BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: NO

2021 FEMA Flood Mapping Review Support
Dear Mr. Eriksen
GHD is pleased to provide this proposal for professional services in support of the evaluation of the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) updated Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) panels and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for Mendocino County. FEMA Risk Analysis Branch Chief for Region IX, Alison Kerns, sent a letter to the City of Ukiah (City) Mayor, Honourable Juan Orozco, dated February 4, 2021 to notify an update on the FEMA FIRM mapping. In the letter, FEMA requested that the City respond to the update through review and comment by April 18, 2021, with the caveat that there will be additional opportunities to provide feedback on the Special Flood Hazard Area delineations before being finalized.
To support the City to respond to the FEMA notification on the mapping update, GHD proposed to providing feedback by comparing the preliminary 2021 models and mapping to the effective 2011 versions. The mapping comparison review includes:
– Coordination with key stakeholders
– Obtain preliminary hydrologic and hydraulic models, and available supporting Geographic Information System (GIS) files
– Compare floodplain mapping within an ArcGIS platform and identify changes between 2011 and 2021 mapping
– Investigate changes in hydrologic and hydraulic modelling and analysis – Document the findings and recommendations in a technical memorandum (TM) This will be a high-level review with recommendations for further study and collaboration as needed.
Based on our understanding of the City needs, and our experience to similar supporting task, the following is a GHD proposed scope of service to support the City to review the FEMA mapping update.
Task 1: Project Management
GHD will conduct monthly progress and coordination meetings with the City. We will document meetings by providing an agenda and meeting summary, as well as potential handouts and preparation of power point slides as required for each meeting. The anticipated project meetings include:
– Kick-off meeting.
– Monthly progress and coordination meetings.
It has been assumed that all meetings will be virtual using Microsoft Teams or other platform that the City prefers and all documents will be provided to the City in electronic form.

The Power of Commitment
2021 FEMA Flood Mapping Review Support 2
Task 2: Stakeholder Coordination
GHD will identify and engage stakeholders including FEMA, STARR II, Mendocino County (County) and the City. The intent of this task will be to gain insight into different perspectives, an understanding of the timeline, and coordinate review and commenting to provide feedback to FEMA. We anticipate that the level of effort will include three (3) meetings with FEMA and STARR II and one (1) meeting with the County. We will document meetings by providing an agenda, meeting summary, and sign-in sheet, as well as potential handouts and preparation of power point slides as required for each meeting. The anticipated project meetings include:
– Meeting with FEMA and STARR II to set the timeline and gather materials. – Meeting with FEMA and STARR II to discuss initial findings. – Meeting with the County to gain County perspective and intent, and to coordinate mapping review efforts.
– Meeting with FEMA and STARR II to discuss review findings and recommendations.
It has been assumed that all meetings will be virtual using Microsoft Teams or other platform that the City prefers and all documents will be provided to the City in electronic form.
Task 3: Hydrologic, Hydraulic Modelling Review and GIS Mapping The effective 2011 FIS and SFHA will be compared to the 2021 and any discrepancies investigated through a detailed review of preliminary modelling versus assumptions used in the effective modelling. The analysis will include an inventory of information reviewed and recommendations for resolving any discrepancies. It is noted that no new modelling or analysis will be conducted (review only).
Task 4: Reporting
GHD will prepare a draft TM and a final TM. The final TM will be completed after review and comment from the City. It has been assumed that all comments will be incorporated into one revision round.
Project Team
The scope of work will be conducted by the Hydrologic and Hydraulic Engineering Team with the following team members proposed for this project. Raymond Wong will be responsible as the Project Manager and provide technical supervision and resourcing for the project. Steve Allen will act as the Project Director ensuring that all ISO 9001 checks and balances have been completed. Paul Glenn will be our Project Engineer to provide technical review on the hydrology and hydraulic analysis, and floodplain mapping.
Matt Kennedy will be our client manager and will be available as needed to provide additional support and coordination.
An introduction of our Hydrologic and Hydraulic Engineering Team is summarized in the following table:

Summary: Council will consider a budget amendment in the amount of $56,000.00 for the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority to purchase Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and uniform items for Fire Authority team members.
Background: In the 2021/2022 Fiscal Year, the Fire Authority was able to hire additional team members, necessitating the purchase of additional PPE and uniform items.
Due to supply chain issues, the Fire Authority’s normal vendor for PPE was not able to supply the necessary items in a timely fashion. In fact, some items were estimated to be two (2) years out. As this equipment is necessary for the safety of our team members, the Fire Authority had to select a different vendor, which then entailed a process of producing a new specification from that vendor to meet the Fire Authority’s needs and standards as well as sizing all team members to ensure a proper fit. As a result, the Fire Authority was not able to place the necessary orders in FY 21/22, and not all of the FY 21/22 budgeted funds for PPE and uniforms were spent.
Discussion: The Fire Authority had budgeted for those extra expenses in FY 21/22, but not FY 22/23, as it was anticipated the purchases would have already been made. Given the supply chain issue, the Fire Authority requests a budget amendment to the FY 22/23 budget to cover the costs for these necessary equipment and uniform items.
Recommended Action: Approve the budget amendment in the amount of $56,000.00 for the purchase of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA).

Summary: The City Council will consider awarding a professional services agreement to LDA Partners, Inc. in the amount of $1,218,573, to prepare the plans, specification and estimate for the Corporation Yard Design, and approve corresponding budget amendment.
Background: The City Council was presented and approved an item regarding the pursuit of lease revenue bonding to renovate the City Corporation Yard and rehabilitate various city streets on February 2, 2022. The existing location that acts as the City’s Corporation Yard is a cramped and outdated facility shared between a number of divisions of Public Works and the Electric Department. With the finalization of the construction of the Electric Department's new Hastings location and preparing their move, now is the perfect time to develop a plan for an expansion and update of Public Work’s Corporation Yard facilities to better serve the community. The Parks Maintenance Department will be relocating to the corporation yard when the project is finished.
Discussion: The City issued a request for proposals on April 18, 2022 (Attachment 1), to local design firms in addition to posting the request publicly on Ebidboard. In response to the RFP, three firms submitted proposals – all three were reviewed and two were rated very high. City Staff determined that oral interviews would be appropriate for this final determination. Interviews were held with Staff present from the following departments: Engineering, Garage, Corporation Yard users and the Airport Manager. City Staff performed interviews with the two highest rated firms, LDA Partners, Inc, see their proposal and cost estimate (Attachment 2 and Attachment 3) and GHD Engineers, Inc. see their proposal and cost estimate (Attachment 4 and Attachment 5) After deliberation and discussion, it was decided that LDA Partners, Inc. should be recommended as their experience, ideas and cost proposal made them an excellent fit for the scope of this project.
LDA Partners, Inc. cost proposal for the design work is $1,218.,573. Staff recommends awarding of a professional services agreement to LDA Partners, Inc. A subsequent budget amendment is also requested.
The funding source for this project will be the Series 2022 Lease Revenue Bonds. City Staff shared this recommendation with the Corp Yard Construction Ad Hoc for their input, to which the Ad Hoc supported Staff's recommendation.
Recommended Action: Award professional services agreement to LDA Partners Inc. in the amount of $1,218,573, to prepare the plans, specification, and estimate for the Corporation Yard Design.

The City’s Corporation Yard site is an area that allows the Water, Sewer, Parks, and Streets field crews to provide services to the community. The site also has the City’s Fleet Maintenance Building (the Garage) to provide maintenance to all City equipment, including the Water Plant, Wastewater Plant, Fire Department, and Police Department equipment.
The existing site is outdated and most of the existing infrastructure is undersized for current and future Public Works operations. Several buildings are outdated and have surpassed their useful life. There is a need for:
• Covered material and equipment storage,
• Warehouse area for storage of materials and equipment, • Work space for Signs, Testing, Fabrication, Storage,
• An Operations, Training, Offices, Breakrooms, Locker rooms, and Crew Rooms Facility • Equipment and vehicle wash rack.
• Fueling Station (depending on budget) – equipment, vehicles. • Employee parking
• Site security – fencing, gates, lights, cameras, etc.
The Garage infrastructure is adequate and expected to only require upgrades and modifications to provide a more efficient service to the City’s fleet. The City may need to expand the corporation yard property to allow for a more efficient and effective area for staff, operations, and equipment and material storage.
III. Consultant Scope of Services:
The existing Corporation Yard (please refer to Attachment A – Site Maps) is in many ways functionally obsolete, limited in space, and the crew work spaces and the staff offices are old and in need of a severe overhaul. Public Works operations also require a large amount of materials and equipment that require
storage locations. Some materials and equipment are not stored in covered facilities or are stored under temporary structures. The asphalt in the parking lot is damaged in many areas and requires repaving.
The requested services shall start with Preliminary Engineering, Building Plan and Modeling, Environmental Documentation (if needed), and the Final Design. The successful Consultant will provide the following items/services to the City as part of this contract:
1. Preliminary Design Phase: (Draft Plans, Specifications and Estimate – PS&E):
The preliminary design phase consists of completing preliminary engineering that will support the best design. The Consultant will be expected to review and evaluate all preliminary design information with the City of Ukiah to develop an understanding of the desired outcome. All parties of the project team will meet in up to 3 (three) design work sessions. The design work sessions should include developing needs scenarios and the development of sketches and basic modeling to help determine the project’s design direction. At the conclusion of the preliminary design phase, it is expected that the design team will have a clear vision of the project to be developed for construction. This effort is expected to and may not necessarily be limited to the following tasks:
a. Identify and document current conditions of all existing structures, systems, and equipment. Most or all of the existing facilities, outside the scope of the Fleet Maintenance Building, will be demolished and/or removed from site.

ABOUT LDA
Established in 1979, LDA has a current staff of 24, and has a diverse portfolio specializing in public facilities.
Approximately, 85% of our projects are attributed to Public Sector Clients. We attribute this success to listening and responding to our clients needs.
THE LDA EXPERIENCE
Our team has the proven experience in working with cities and counties in a variety of capacities. Additionally we have recent relevant experience in scope of professional services including masterplanning, corporation yards, and service & maintenance facilities. This gives the City the assurance that our team has the qualifications needed
in order to ensure a successful design and delivery of its future projects.
LDA Partners has been working with public institutions
for over four decades. The strength of our firm lies in our communication and client service. Our first role for each project task is to listen. Beginning each task by
listening to the client and most importantly, the end users, we are able to understand the critical issues that define a successful project from the client’s perspective. Our one–on-one working approach with clients fosters trust, understanding, and helps ensure that City remain an
integral part of the project team. Through close working relationships, we are better able to look at existing and ideal environments “through the eyes of the client,” and to gain insight into solutions that are satisfying, appropriate and affordable.
LDA’s philosophy and practice of “designing to the budget” rather than “budgeting to the design” has resulted in a remarkable record of performance. We realize that costs are most easily controlled in the early stages of project development by carefully reviewing area requirements and basic design decisions. Our approach, therefore, reflects a careful collaborative of estimating and project control, resulting in a realistic total project budget.
We do not shy away from small deferred maintenance
projects or large complex projects. Our team members
understand that all of these are needs of the community, and we strive to provide these services on projects of any scale.
LDA has designed a multitude of corporation yard and

service centers for City and County agencies throughout Northern California. LDA, along with each design consultant, have strong backgrounds in the design of service facilities and the specialty systems to make them efficient and operational for the Owner and building users. Each team member was chosen based upon their specific experience and skill within their particular discipline. Combining their unique perspectives and individual talents, they have developed solutions for effective, seamless facility operations and state-of-the-art public works facilities throughout the country.
Our project architects and managers bring highly developed leadership and organizational skills to the project as well as a thorough understanding of site and building design and functionality, specifically for service facilities. In the past four years alone, LDA has provided assessment, feasibility, as well as design and engineering services for over ten municipal corporation and service yards. Our expertise in understanding how these land uses function, vehicle site circulation, and different staffing requirements for administration and maintenance crews and their workspace has allowed LDA to be the industry leader for these project types.
Our Principal In Charge understands public funding parameters so well, he was appointed to the City of Manteca, Municipal Finance Committee.
These attributes coupled with extensive project monitoring and collaboration result in projects delivered with less RFI’s, change orders, project delays and cost overages.
Environmental Engineer Basecamp has worked with LDA on recent municipal corporation yards and federally funded transportation projects.
Structural Engineer JH Lawder is an industry expert in understanding pre-engineered metal buildings, most commonly used in corporation yard projects and works with several different manufacturers from around the country to reflect efficient frame sizing and foundations.
Specialty consultant Air and Lube Systems is a statewide recognized leader in the design of industrial equipment operations with significant experience that has included over 100 facilities. Their experience has also allowed them to be experts in the field of corporation yard and maintenance facilities and the specialty systems that they require, including vehicle wash systems. Air and Lube’s equipment and facility specialist, Roman Fursov is an unparalleled expert in the field of maintenance systems and equipment, and operations.
Capital Engineering is a recognized leader in mechanical and plumbing system designs. They bring an expertise to public works projects that are unsurpassed and are an authority on value engineering and innovative energy conserving mechanical system designs for new and existing buildings. Their experience encompasses corporation yards and administration facilities such as, Caltrans Facilities, California Highway Patrol Facilities, and most recently the Stanislaus County Public Works Complex , Nevada County Operations Center, and Ripon Corporation Yard with LDA.
The Engineering Enterprise is one of the region’s premiere full service electrical engineering firms and will provide all the necessary input and assessment for the site and building power, lighting, telecommunications, Title 24, and infrastructure for the facility and project tie-ins.
Local civil engineer CSW|ST2 has extensive experience with both local infrastructure projects and corporation yards. They bring extensive local and regional experience and knowledge about geological conditions, infrastructure, and utility and agency requirements.
JR Conkey rounds out the design team by providing construction estimating services. JR Conkey’s estimators will provide conceptual estimating upon development of the preliminary scope of work. As the project progresses the estimators will work with the design team continuously updating the anticipated final cost. If necessary, they will also provide comparable costs of different building systems and materials to meet the criteria of the project, effectively value-engineering when it is advantageous to do so.
The teamwork of all consultants along with very concise scope and project attentiveness is a testament to effective project leadership that the LDA Partners design team brings to City of Ukiah.

County’s new public works complex replaces
an outdated and undersized facility from the
1960’s. The Vehicle Maintenance building
consolidates the sign, roads, bridges, and
vehicle maintenance divisions under one roof for
the first time in decades. The new building and
division adjacencies were designed to increase
efficiencies and maintain the comradery shared
amongst staff and crew members.
The new Public Works Administration building
was designed to replace their existing 1950’s
facility that disjointed department functions
and cohesiveness. The new building reorganized

QUALITY CONTROL& QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEEDURES
Our quality control program, which has been developed and continually refined through years of application, is tailored to the specific needs of the project. It is structured to ensure that a high level of quality is attained to meet the predetermined project objectives. It is also flexible to adjust to the changing needs of the projects assigned.
Quality control is accomplished through constant monitoring of the design input which includes the scope of work, criteria, codes and standards, and document preparation control. Verification is accomplished through reviews, technical coordination, project management, and quality assurance, which are performed at the various submission levels. • Technical Review—Verifies the technical adequacy of the work; conducted by qualified discipline personnel other than those who worked on the original design.
• Coordination Review—Verifies the constructibility and that all interfaces have been addressed. Addressed in bi-weekly meetings during design and construction document phases
• Project Management Review—Verifies compliance with contract documents and the client’s objectives. • Quality Control Review—Verifies that necessary reviews have been performed and that work is in compliance with requirements of the quality control program.
From a pure QA/QC perspective, we have 1 designated team member who is regulated to the review of documents. This member is kept removed from the development of the project, and is asked to come in at the appropriate times for review. The purpose of keeping this member removed from the project is so that they can review the project “blind”, just like a bidder would do. This helps the design team in understanding what is adequately addressed and what may still need to be worked on.
In order to ensure accuracy of not only documents, but the entire team progress, meetings are scheduled at milestone dates to check and verify the production process and to address any current issues that are either outstanding or, more importantly, may be avoided if discussed at this juncture. Our belief is that communication, coordination, and organization greatly limit the number and amount of potential change orders, and are the key aspects to a successful project.

Project Understanding and Approach to the Work
LDA PARTNERS 18
Project Understanding & Approach
Project Background
Our team has designed a multitude of public facilities and has a unique interest in these project types. LDA has a strong background in the design and planning of public facilities and the specialty systems to make them efficient and operational for the Owner and building users. Combining their unique perspectives and individual talents, they have developed solutions for effective, seamless facility operations and state-of-the-art facilities throughout the State.
Per the RFQ, the stated project goals are:
• Condition and needs assessment of the existing facility and building systems • Preliminary Design
• Detailed Design of bid ready set of plans, specifications and estimate • Determine best option to improve yard size and functionality. • Cost effective design to minimize downtime during construction. • Upgrade the yard layout to incorporate better movement of vehicles and equipment during routine operations.
• Upgrade the yard layout to incorporate better storage or equipment, tools, and materials.
• Upgrade of staff facilities with the potential to add staff work area for Public Works office staff.
Project Quick Start
One of the keys to hitting the ground running, is for our team to mobilize and get up to speed as quickly as possible. Previously in similar projects, our approach has utilized intensive client/user group/project team interaction in the first few weeks of a project that we have called Project Quick Start. This gets all of our key personnel into the review, discussion, and understanding of the project intent and design/construction criteria to be met before we begin our assessment. We see the essential elements in this “phase” as:
• Standards/Codes/Regulatory Requirements – What are the applicable standards, agencies, jurisdictions and their requirements? Which building will have priority in the evaluation and how to gain access. • Engineering Systems Analysis – Observe and document the existing conditions • Construction Technology – What City wide systems do these facilities need to integrate with? For example, automated logic temperature control system. • Finance Analysis - Discussion and analysis of conceptual costs.
By focusing intently in the first few weeks on understanding the underpinnings of the project, we can begin to contribute to effective means to carry this forward as expeditiously and effectively as possible. This will be especially critical in validating the program, budget, and schedule for the proposed project.

Project Understanding & Approach
WORK PLAN FOR NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN SERVICES PROJECT KICK OFF WORKSHOP The assessment team will meet with select city staff at a project kick-off workshop. These stakeholders will participate in this team building session to clarify scope, appoint decision makers, identify goals and objectives, review deliverables and define the project schedule.
TASK 1: NEEDS ASSESSMENT / DESIGN & PROGRAMMING CONFIRMATION The LDA approach will be to utilize as much previous information as possible, if any, to help the project budget and schedule. Our first step will be to confirm any previous program, goals, or assumptions that the City may have developed previously.
We will review previous items that had a significant capital cost and look to see if there is a better solution or another way to achieve the same result. This, in conjunction with a Project Core Committee established by the City, will serve as an effective means to represent the range of interested parties and integrate them into the core decision-making group for this project. The LDA Team will meet with the Core Committee every other week for the duration of the project to present progress, solicit ideas and direction, and build consensus each step of the way.
The key to a successful project is to address the Programming & Budgeting confirmation early and keep people “in- the - loop” on how the project is developing. The first task is to respond to, and help confirm the program. We achieve this process by completing the following:
Executive Interviews & User Interaction
Interviews and meetings will be held with the City to help define and clarify the existing conditions. This will also help determine functional and programmatic desires, management priorities, locational criteria, operational and priority issues. This will also help identify deficiencies with the current state of the buildings.
Services and Service Indicators Will Be Identified
A review of current and anticipated services provided by the City including any slated to potentially be contracted by outside vendors or suppliers will be performed. A review of how these relationships might be expected to change in the future will also be scrutinized for adherence to the project program.
Present Facility Needs Assessment
Assess the present space requirements of the facility. Meeting this objective requires an understanding of the operations performed by the City, and the space implications of those operations. Observe existing conditions on how City operations currently functions, or how it is desired to change, will allow us to provide a solution or recommendation that meets the functionality needs of City staff and customers so that they have a comfortable environment for work and business.
Analysis & Programming
We will then analyze functional needs, based on activities to occur in each area, the types of equipment or standards to be used and the work flow requirements, in order to determine the proximity needs, special HVAC considerations, special power needs, and other requirements such as special security considerations.
Functional and Operational Considerations
LDA’s team will use past experience and user input to anticipate work flow and discuss potential space conflicts with the City. The future operations, established earlier, would be analyzed as to implications for space needs and a listing of general area needs, public contact needs, security needs, and other base line requirements would be formulated. Each operational strategy will be tested against critical, functional and operational requirements such as functionality and accessibility.
LDA PARTNERS 20
Project Understanding & Approach
Economic Factors
One of the biggest struggles with public agencies is the ever increasing strain of the public coffers. LDA brings a unique understanding of public financing and funding, so much so, that Eric Wohle has served on municipal finance committees.
We realize that in many cases the hardest part of securing funding for a project happens after the project is finished. In this scenario, the most difficult part of project funding becomes the cost of annual upkeep and staffing. To that end, we pride ourselves in creating spaces that are allowed to be minimally staffed, if need be, and use highly durable materials that stand the test of time and public abuse.
Building Materials & Systems
LDA will study and recommend building systems, mechanical and electrical systems, and specific building materials. All potential building materials and systems will be evaluated based upon the following criteria:
• How the materials perform over time
• Initial cost vs. life cycle cost
• Availability with regard to potential construction schedule • Compatibility with adjacent structures and systems
• Environmental materials vs. time and maintenance costs LDA will summarize the following:
• Confirmation and documentation of existing building systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler and fire alarm)
• Confirmation and documentation for wall, windows, roof, and flooring assemblies.
• Observation and documentation for interior and exterior finishes. • Observation and documentation for and accessibility.
• Preliminary cost estimate
The end result of the first phase sets the stage to develop targeted Schematic Design Documents.
TASK 2: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN / SCHEMATIC DESIGN (SD)
Plans/renderings will be developed in 3-D imagery to illustrate the selected options better. The conceptual options will also include detailed design and construction costs estimates. Costs estimates will be developed for immediate construction start along with comparative costs that will reflect the changes in cost for a later start of the project.
During the pre-schematic design phase of work, we seek to establish the vocabulary of the design. We will develop a general layout of spaces that will provide flexible as well as functional uses. Design options would be provided for owner input at this time. These options will always be presented within the framework of the budget, e.g., “if this option is accepted, how will it affect our budget?” Our use of advanced computer software will assist us in looking at several options quickly.
During this phase, we will develop documents that describe and illustrate the components of the facility. Site plan, preliminary plans, and rendered perspective views are
included. An updated budget will also be developed, and the project’s scope will be reconciled with the budget.
Some specific design considerations addressed during this phase include:
• Thoughtful room adjacencies and functional
programmatic spaces
• The site circulation plan should create clear and safe directions of travel for visitors, staff, District vehicles. • The facility should be easy to maintain under the
demand of heavy usage.
• Interior finishes and furnishings should respond to
those requirements, and yet create an inviting and
quality image.
• Site and facility security.
• Develop preliminary architectural form, style, and
materials
• Site adjacency options to study the location of
buildings, deliveries, vehicular circulation, parking
options, outdoor storage, etc. that provide a safe,
clear and efficient means of traversing the site
• Maps and diagrams showing existing facilities and
proposed improvements.
TASK 3: FINAL REPORT
We will develop a final report and be prepared to present the results of the study to the city council and city staff.
This report will identify sufficient and deficient conditions, proposed remedies, conceptual cost estimates, and
proposed priorities of improvements.
A project cost estimate that includes construction costs and furniture, fixtures and equipment costs, contingencies, moving/relocation, and professional services will be
included. A schedule for development will also be part of the report. We will use visual aids as necessary to convey the process of the study and its results.

Project Understanding & Approach
TASK 4: DESIGN DEVELOPMENT (DD)
Once the programming documents are confirmed, the LDA Partners team will begin design development. At this stage more refined block plans will be created of the space. During this phase of work, we will establish a general layout of spaces that will provide flexible as well as functional uses. Design options would be provided for owner input at this time. Once the relationship of spaces is determined we will provide concepts on security levels and structural and mechanical components for your review.
During this phase the LDA Partners team will work closely with the District to determine initial architectural building systems (HVAC, power, lighting, plumbing, etc.), Meetings with the District will be maintained so that the established design criteria are followed through into the future construction drawings. These documents will be used to give the District an opinion on estimated project costs.
Site items to be addressed:
• Study building system options for HVAC, electrical, lighting, plumbing, equipment, etc.
• Design development drawing compilation involving detailed review with individual users of each area of building and site (2 to 3 meetings) • Define finishes, hardware functions, equipment (Owner/Contractor furnished), electrical (power, lighting, equipment), HVAC, fire and security requirements.
• Determine acoustical requirements of all areas.
• Review computer requirements and future technical flexibility requirements. • Detail cut sheets of equipment (loose or fixed).
• Review HVAC/electrical systems.
• Full code study and review.
• FF&E layout floor plans.
• Finalize building design vocabulary.
• Complete drawings to establish nature and scope
• Outline specifications.
• Design development estimate coordinated with Cost Estimator TASK 5: CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS (CD)
In this phase, design decisions are translated into the bid set of documents for construction. Our excellent record of minimum change orders addresses the thoroughness of our quality assurance process. We will update cost estimates at this time to make any necessary adjustments to maintain budgets.
Specific items include:
• Final materials selection (building colors).
• Final interior design review (finish material and colors). • Building and site security design and approval.
• Complete project civil, architectural, structural and MEP drawings.
• Bid document and Division 1 specifications review with District.
• Complete project specifications.
• Technology backbone.
ON-GOING TASK: BUDGET MANAGEMENT
As a project proceeds, our team will work with the owner to review the budget at each phase. At pricing milestones, each consultant will review the cost estimate in relationship to their scope. The intent is not to simply pass an estimate from consultant to owner, but to provide an estimate that has been scrutinized by a team of professionals that is as reliable as possible. This collaborative effort of our key consultants and the est of our team provides a high probability of an accurate estimate.
BUDGET & COST CONTROL
LDA’s philosophy and practice of “designing to the budget” rather than “budgeting to the design” has resulted in a remarkable record of performance. LDA realizes that costs are most easily controlled in the early stages of project development by carefully reviewing area requirements and basic design decisions.
LDA PARTNERS 22
Project Understanding & Approach
At this time potential issues may be easily addressed without adverse harm to the budget or schedule. By carefully balancing long-term costs with the first cost of construction, informed decisions can be made relative to project budgeting. Our approach, therefore, reflects a careful collaboration of estimating and project control, resulting in a realistic total project budget. We will not move forward into the next phase of design until we can verify that the project is “on- budget” One of the most important aspects of cost estimating is to set realistic expectations at the outset of the project. By defining a framework early in the process, the entire project team has a set of definable goals to work towards. Our approach to every project, in order to control costs, begins with fully understanding the scope and goals from the project owner. This conversation happens during the initial kickoff meeting and continues throughout the duration of the project. We prepare cost estimates at the various project milestones and more frequently should discussions and decisions occur that modify the scope of the project. We look at the project both holistically, and well as separate components.
By viewing the project from both of these perspectives, cost items are considered on both a macro and micro level. Various elements of construction are considered including structural, mechanical, electrical, telecommunications, security, etc. Staff from the various disciplines assess the work scope for their areas of expertise and develop cost items for consideration by the entire team.
TASK 6: BIDDING PHASE
Again, our experience with publicly funded projects makes us acutely aware of the legal process to be carried out during this phase. Since public projects are open to all bidders if they can satisfy bonding requirements, we will work to any delivery system you desire. We will schedule and oversee the pre-bid meeting to address questions. Meeting minutes with the questions raised and answers to these questions will be produced and distributed to the owner, consultants, and all plan holders. At the bid opening, we will review bids as needed to facilitate a contract.
We can assist in the selection of the General Contractor and advise the District on the reference check process.
Other bidding phase services include:
• Pre-bid conference
• Coordination of contractor submittals to enter into contract. • Resolve questions during bidding.
• Coordination of contractor submittals to enter into contract. • Resolving bidding questions.
TASK 7: CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
(CA)
We suggest having structured bi-weekly meetings to
ensure timeliness and quality of the project. These
meetings would be attended by LDA and key District
personnel. Minutes are generated at each meeting that
keep all parties aware of delays, changes, claims, and other items which are encountered during the construction.
Our construction management background has given us
a unique perspective to this phase of work, and we pride ourselves in the thoroughness of our CA process. Our
structural, electrical, and mechanical engineers will both visit the site in addition to their usual supporting role during this phase of work.
Normal activities provided during this period include
reviewing shop drawings, RFIs, and testing results. We will review pay requests, monitor the schedule, and review
quality of work.
TASK 8: PROJECT CLOSE-OUT
A punch list of items to addressed will be developed at the time of project substantial completion. This list will be submitted to the general contractor and the District’s project representative. We will monitor the punch list to ensure the completion and addition of items. Once the
owner accepts the project as complete, an AIA Substantial Completion form will be presented to the District.
The end of the construction process leads to “handing over” the facility to the Owner. It is vital that proper instruction and training of the building’s complex systems happens at this time. We require the contractors, suppliers, and design team members to walk through the operating systems with you, so any questions or issues are addressed during the warranty period. We will be available at any time during the year after occupancy to answer questions or assist in the resolution of construction performance.
23 City of Ukiah
Project Understanding & Approach
TECHNICAL COMPETENCE
We utilize BIM software (Revit) for all of our projects, coupled with simple modeling applications such as Lumion and Sketch Up. This allows everyone to understand the project in its truest form. Revit allows us to build the project 3-dimensionally before the “first shovel is in the ground”.
This proves to be a valuable tool in the design process since we can now “see” potential conflicts before they happen. As the project evolves we can show the client what each space will look like as the design progresses. Changes can be made in “real time” before the client’s eyes so that input and decisions can be made quickly. For record documents, Revit files can be saved in an AutoCAD format for archiving.
OUR TEAM & UNDERSTANDING THE NEEDS OF THE CITY
Our team of project architects and engineers bring highly developed leadership and organizational skills to the project as well as a thorough understanding of building design and functionality, specifically for public facilities. This project demands the highest standards in terms of design excellence in operations and functionality. The best way to “get more for the money” is through good design, followed by construction efficiency.
The LDA team has built its record of success in developing unique solutions to complex problems by turning various constraints into opportunities.
To truly accomplish a project design that is safe, secure, and responsive to user needs, a number of concepts must be generated and evaluated.
Typically there is no “off-the- shelf” solution that will meet the unique needs of the City.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN - LEED & GREEN TECHNOLOGY
LDA Partners is committed to the creation of functional, cost effective, and sustainable (LEED) architectural and planning solutions. The numerous regional and national awards received by LDA Partners are evidence in the firm’s success in keeping that commitment. Depending on the project type or program requirements, there may be the opportunity or need to implement sustainable environmental systems including solar, lighting, power, telecommunications, and mechanical conditioning systems.
This presents significant opportunities for the project to:
• reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in the area
• maximize energy efficiency of the facility operations • reduce operating costs
• enhance the workplace environment for the employees
• demonstrate to the public the opportunities and benefits of sustainable design Our office practices strong sustainable design principals. Our team would approach the design of any facility with a strong understanding of the requirements of the Owner, the processing and participation by the future Contractor, and a well founded representation of sustainable design.
Project Schedule
LDA PARTNERS 24
Project Schedule
SCHEDULE
Schedule adherence is a critical activity. LDA has provided a draft schuedule to reviewed collectively by the City and LDA, and may be modified to reflect current City proceedures and protocols. Periodic refinement and updating of the project schedule is a critical component of managing the schedule. This will be done monthly and shared with the client. Updating the schedule once a month at a minimum keeps the entire team (Owner, User and Designer) informed of exactly where the team is at in relationship to the established project schedule. The discipline enforced on the design team to hit the established milestones is critical in maintaining the overall project schedule. Also the 45 day “quick start” noted previously is a key element to maintaining the overall schedule. Getting started on the right path will have tremendous results in maintaining the overall project schedule.
Should an unforeseen event impact the schedule the Project Manager along with the City representative will immediately evaluate the impact and develop a “recovery schedule” that gets the project back on track with the overall project schedule. This recovery schedule could address the change in several ways; increase staffing, a change in an interim deliverable that does not impact the overall schedule, a temporary increase in work hours to “catch up”, etc.
We enjoy an outstanding reputation for quality and service due to our commitment toward producing thorough and accurate documents. We emphasize that a quality control program is very important to the success of a project. LDA’s quality control approach centers on the Principalin-Charge. He will be responsible for all communication and coordination between in-house disciplines and consultants relative to the production of the project. Our team will undertake thorough plan checks during and after each major phase of documentation. Several of our consultants will also play major roles in periodic checks, before final documents are submitted to the Principal-in-Charge and Project Architect for coordination reviews.
Project status and staffing are addressed each week in an in-house partners meeting. Potential schedules, staffing, deadlines are discussed 3 weeks in advance to avoid and identify potential conflicts. All projects are always maintained by a managing principal partner, to oversee the project to assure continuity and consistency, in conjunction with the designated Project Architect. This also addresses consultant schedules and deliverables, in order to keep the project on-track.
