Contract Change Order Number: 003
Original Contract Date: November 22, 2022
Date: April 14, 2026
Project Name: Bridging Horizons Inclusive Park PO3279 Project Number: R0056531
To: Cody McLaughlin, City of Visalia
From: Katherine Lewis Mitchell, PLA #6818

Description of Change:

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the project site has been relocated, rendering the previously prepared plans no longer applicable and necessitating the development of a new set of construction documents. The revised site program includes a playground layout, Bankshot court, water play area, game area, music meadow, picnic area with shade structure, restroom, and parking lot. At the City’s request, Westwood will prepare a new plan set tailored to the relocated site. The following scope of work outlines the anticipated level of effort required to complete a topographic survey, geotechnical investigation, preparation of improvement plans, and coordination necessary to meet applicable grant requirements.

Scope of Work

Task 1: Meetings and Project Management
The Westwood team will p rovide project management services including meeting facilitation and maintaining ongoing coordination with the project team and stakeholders. Services also include monitoring progress, supporting communication among disciplines, and assisting in keeping the project aligned with schedule, scope, and budget objectives.

Task 1.1: Kick-off and Scoping Meeting
A well-run organizational meeting at the beginning of the project will clear up any unexpected issues before they arise. A meeting will be held with staff, during which our proprietary client communication program is started and the following typical items are discussed:
• Introduce staff and project partners to the design consulting team. • Review objectives of the project, scope of services, deliverable expectations, project schedule, and milestones.
• Confirm project parameters and limits of work. (Conduct a site review and photo document site conditions.)
• Collect available data and published material.
• Establish meeting and presentation schedules and communication channels with all parties involved.
• Review and list all applicable design/planning standards, opportunities, and/or challenges anticipated.
• Coordinate with agency departments, other agencies, and stakeholders. • Review project budget and billing requirements.

• Complete custom client communications program.

Task 1.2: Progress Meetings
After each submittal and subsequent staff review period, a virtual progress meeting with the design team will be held. It is anticipated that there will be a progress meeting each month during the design period and ideally held at the following stages:
• Following the conceptual design submittal
• Following the design development submittal
• Following the construction documentation submittal

Task 2: Topographic Survey Base Mapping
A topographic survey will be performed of all hardscape and softscape, including: grade breaks, high points, low points. In flat areas, measure spot elevations in a grid pattern at 50 -foot intervals. The following will be included:
• Locate surface -visible utility features and improvements, such as: signs, fences, walls, buildings, striping, driveways, walkways, drainages, structures, lights, poles, bollards, general limits of vegetated or landscaped areas, USA markings, vaults, valves, meters, boxes, pedestals, cleanouts, manholes, drain inlets, catch basins, culverts, outfalls, and standpipes. • Trees 6” in diameter or larger will be located.
• At manholes and accessible structures measure invert elevation of all gravity storm drains and sewer pipes. Annotate topographic survey drawing with invert elevation, approximate diameter, and orientation of each pipe visible at the time of the survey. Whe re access is not practical, Westwood will indicate by notation on the mapping deliverable. • Create existing ground Civil 3D TIN surface model.
• Prepare topographic survey base map drawing at a 1” = 20’ or other suitable scale.

DELIVERABLES
 Digital copy of the topographic survey base map drawing in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2023 format.
 PDF copy of topographic survey on Westwood title block.

Task 3: Site Analysis
Research objectives will include a comprehensive review of project history and all available on -site and off -site information to establish a clear understanding of existing conditions. The team will evaluate and document site opportunities and constraints through mapping and analysis to identify key factors influencing future improvements.

Task 3.1: Contextual Analysis
A contextual analysis will be conducted at the outset of the project to develop a comprehensive understanding of the site within its broader physical, environmental, and regulatory setting. This effort will include documentation and review of existing site conditions such as land use, circulation patterns, accessibility, vegetation, topography, and adjacent development. Items such as prevailing winds, soil type, as -built drawings, and so forth will be reviewed. The analysis will also include a review of app licable plans, policies, and jurisdictional requirements to ensure alignment with local standards and long-term goals. This baseline understanding will help identify key site characteristics and inform the development of the site plan.

Task 3.2: Utility Investigation
A utility investigation will be completed to determine what utilities are available, their locations, and utility depth within the project limits of work. Available as-built and original design drawings will be reviewed, utility request letters will be sent to all applicable utility companies, and site investigation will be used to make determinations.

Task 4: Conceptual Plans
The conceptual design phase will build upon the programming established for the previous site and adapt it to suit the unique opportunities and constraints of the new project location. This effort will include what was learned from the site analysis phase to inform a responsive and functional layout.

Key park elements —including playground areas, recreational features, and support amenities —will be thoughtfully reconfigured to align with the revised site conditions while maintaining the original project intent.

The resulting conceptual plans will also be developed based on applicable grant requirements, ensuring that design elements, accessibility, and overall project scope remain consistent with funding criteria. This process will involve balancing project goals, community priorities, and regulatory considerations to deliver a cohesive park concept for City approval. Task includes one round o f revisions based on City comments.

DELIVERABLES
 Conceptual site plan in PDF format.

Task 5: Design Development Drawings (50% PS&E)
Upon City approval of the concept plan , the Westwood team will develop 50% improvement plans.

The Design Development Drawing package includes drawings to convey general engineering and design concepts. This service will include the following preliminary plan sheets at a minimum:
• Cover sheet and project information
• Site plan
• Existing conditions plan
• Grading, drainage, and utilities plan
• Site finishes and furnishings plans
