II. BACKGROUND AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION

3 Juarez and Avenida de la Plaza (APNs 163-151-11, -12, -13, and -14). The project will transform three vacant City-owned parcels into a complete neighborhood park that enhances local recreation opportunities and provides inclusive amenities for community use.

A preliminary concept plan has been prepared to show the general layout and design intent, but it is limited in detail and does not include all proposed improvements. The selected consultant will refine and expand the concept into complete design development and construction documents, coordinate necessary permits and approvals, and provide support to the City during bidding and construction phases.

Planned improvements may include:

 Playground equipment serving multiple age groups
 Group-use swing-type structures
 Water feature for interactive water play during designated times  Single-use restroom
 Passive recreation and picnic areas
 New landscaping, irrigation, and site furnishings
 Sidewalks, hardscape, and frontage improvements

The site is currently undeveloped and includes a 6-foot-wide City sewer easement between APNs 163-151-11 & 163-151-12, containing a 6-inch VCP sewer line that connects to a manhole along Avenida de Benito Juarez.

This project is funded by the State of California Office of Grants and Local Services (OGALS) and must comply with all grant program requirements per the Grant Administration Guide for the California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection, and Outdoor Access for All Act of 2018 - Competitive Grant Programs. All improvements must be ADA accessible, including a new pedestrian curb ramp at the northwest corner of Avenida de Benito Juarez and Avenida de La Plaza, with related spandrel and cross gutter work. Project site information, including site map, preliminary concept plan, site photos, OGALS required project deliverables, community engagement summaries, and existing sewer information, are included in Attachment A –Site Information and Preliminary Concept Plan.

Design Objectives

Avenida De Benito Juarez Park and Luz Duran Park Improvements 10/20/23 Workshop Public Comments

The public was given a chance to respond at the public outreach meeting regarding the park projects. The comments were as follows:

For Luz Duran, one community member requested to have a mural of pictures of the community members. Another comment regarding the Luz Duran was that they liked the idea of shade and a community area; however, they requested additional board game options on the tables. Other request for the Luz Duran park included a kitchen area with barbeque and gazebo, bike racks and more restrooms.

More general concerns for both parks includes the need for a sufficient ADA accommodations both in the restrooms and throughout the rest of the park. The public requested that the swing area have at least one ADA swing and that the swing area would include a child only swing section. The public had general comments asking for more parking, drinking fountains and waste and recycling areas. One community member had concern about light infiltrating the nearby homes, concerns about dog waste, and concerns about the need for a fence in between the park and homes. This community member also requested for no sand to be in the park. Lastly, there was a request for air pumps for bikes and sports balls in the park.

Two additional attendees of the presentation wrote the following comments in their notes:
• “The bar nets would be a good idea (from slides 2-5)”, and “all of the images look nice” (from slides 5-12).
• “The adult fitness equipment by the green field looks the most reasonable than the others.” • “Any chess, or monopoly board games would be preferred. • “The yellow seater chair, tire swing and regular swings would be a big hit.” “At least one of the yellow seat or tire swing.”
• “Obstacle course and teen fitness are top in my mind.” • “Concept 2 is preferable because I like the sand better, and the restrooms.” • “Anything related to barbeques is good.”
• “Art sculptures/minerals are great. Water fountains are important for anyone who brings their own water essentials.”
• “What are the safety essentials for the new park? For example, a crossing light so that cars at night are more aware. Extra lighting would be great.”
• “Some other important thoughts consideration should be put into the restrooms, parking spaces and park hours.”

3. WORK PLAN
9City of Vista | AVENIDA DE BENITO JUAREZ POCKET PARK
Vista’s Avenida de Benito Juarez Pock Park will be
a .22-acre neighbor park and is envisioned as a
dynamic neighborhood park that balances active
recreational facilities with passive leisure amenities
on a small site. RICK will use a unique approach
that thoughtfully responds to the needs of an
engaged community and requirements of the city.

While the programming has been defined for the
park, the RICK design team will engage the city at
the initial kick off of the design process to refine
and finalize the program elements. We will follow the
Preliminary Concept Plan provided and understand
there is an existing sewer easement running across
the project and there is wanting to keep an existing
tree in place. We will also consider the public
workshop comments that have been provided. Our
team will closely coordinate with the City to identify
early on critical path tasks or requirements that
could drive or delay the schedule. Additionally, our
team will maintain frequent schedule check-ins
and project monthly updates to maintain schedule
milestones.

Project construction costs can be effectively
managed through a comprehensive approach
that includes smart and efficient planning and
design, and the selection of durable and low-
maintenance materials. The implementation
of phased construction could also be used to
minimize upfront costs and optimize scheduling and
resources. It is essential that the project establish
a clear budget, scope, and schedule to ensure
successful completion. Drawing on our experience
working in similar communities throughout Southern
California, the RICK Team has successfully
delivered over $400 million in park projects and
park improvements, achieving positive outcomes
and fostering strong community engagement.

Our team is highly familiar with the permitting
processes required and is committed to bringing a
proven track record of delivering high-quality, well-
coordinated documents to support the successful
development of Avenida de Benito Juarez Pocket
Park. By structuring our design effort around clear,
collaborative milestones concept, 60%, 90%, and
100% PS&E submittals, we will ensure that design
considerations, constructability constraints, and
agency input are fully integrated into a resilient and
cost-effective solution.

Critical design and engineering components and
proposed approach to each are further discussed
herein.

Feasible and Cost-Effective Solutions
Our team will develop accurate and detailed
engineer’s estimates at the 60%, 90%, and100%,
design milestones, informed by current bid prices,
regional contractor feedback, and escalation
factors. This data-driven approach ensures that the
project remains within budget expectations while
meeting the City’s drainage performance goals.

Our combined experience, local knowledge, and
practical engineering judgment will enable us to
deliver a resilient and cost-conscious solution that
the City and community can rely on.

Minimizing Cost and Schedule Impacts
Our approach to minimizing project cost and
maintaining schedule integrity is grounded in
early coordination, practical design decisions,
and milestone-driven project management. Our
team will advance the project through well-defined
design milestones, concept design, 60%, 90% and
100% PS&E, each followed by coordinated City
review. This phased process with parallel agency
coordination is reflected in our detailed project
schedule, which identifies key dependencies and
integrates permitting, utility coordination, and
environmental deliverables to prevent delays.

Engineer’s estimates will be updated at each
milestone to maintain budget alignment. With our
team’s strong local presence, consistent staffing,
and commitment to responsiveness, we are
prepared to deliver this project on time and within
budget.

Our Scope of Work has been provided in the
Appendix per the RFP.

PROJECT APPROACH, CONTROLS, & PROTOCOLS
RICK has developed a reputation for delivering quality projects on time and within budget.

An essential component of our effective project delivery is the regular use of project control tools, procedures, and methods. These serve as the basis for planning, scheduling, and scope and budget monitoring, while also playing a pivotal role in document control, cost estimating, and accommodating project variables or changes.

To be effective, RICK project staff engage in project controls and management best practices at the project onset as they document the project expectations and track actual performance. The RICK disciplined management approach is based on the five key components below.

THE FIVE KEY COMPONENTS OF THE RICK MANAGEMENT APPROACH 1 2 3 4 5
Communication
& Coordination
Cost
Controls
Project Planning
& Scheduling
Quality Assurance/
Quality Control
Continual
Improvement

COMMUNICATION &

COORDINATION
Our approach to effective project
management at the project level is rooted in clear
and effective communication. Communication plays
a key role in meeting project objectives, reducing
risk, and maintaining project schedule and budget.

We understand how important clear and
transparent project communication is to the City.

Our Project Manager and Task Leads will review
and employ key communication strategies with City
counterparts.

PROJECT PLANNING &

SCHEDULING
Detailed planning at the beginning of the
project is essential to reduce risk, ensure quality,
and maintain schedule and budget. Upon receiving
the Notice to Proceed, the RICK Team will create a
detailed schedule using Microsoft Project to
organize the overall project tasks and budget, while
tracking actual versus scheduled work and costs.

Critical-path items, staffing resources, and cost
estimates will be documented and tracked.

COST CONTROLS
We take the financial restrictions that exist
for our clients seriously, and avoid, in every
possible way, making any changes to the project
budget. Our clients frequently note the dedicated
efforts made by RICK staff in this regard. The best
way to control costs is to establish a well-defined
project scope in collaboration with our clients.

Determining our clients’ needs and goals up front
and organizing the project to achieve those specific
goals drastically reduces changes as the project
progresses.

RICK leverages advanced project control tools such
as Microsoft Project and Deltek Vision to provide
the Clients with real-time project tracking, efficient resource allocation, and proactive risk management.

These tools enhance transparency, accountability, and decision-making.

RICK controls costs through an effective
combination of tracking and management activities,
including:

Weekly expenditure tracking, report
compilation, and report review by Project
Manager using Deltek Vision
Effective staff supervision
Continuity of staff assignments
Continual project communication
Timely resolution of project issues
Monthly detailed reports (expenditures vs.
budget; completion progress vs. plan; etc.)

3. WORK PLAN - SCOPE OF WORK
City of Vista | AVENIDA DE BENITO JUAREZ POCKET PARK
Scope of Work
TASK 1. Project Initiation, Management, and
Coordination
We will facilitate an initial project kick-off meeting
with City representatives to thoroughly review the
project scope, design requirements, schedule,
and potential challenges to successful project
implementation. This meeting will set the foundation
for effective collaboration throughout the project.

We will maintain consistent communication with
the City through bi-weekly updates and scheduled
meetings. These meetings will focus on developing
and reviewing the preliminary conceptual design
as well as the project status at key milestones,
specifically at the 60%, 90%, and 100% draft plan
submittals, culminating in the final plan set. For
each meeting, RICK will prepare and distribute
agendas highlighting discussion topics and will
provide detailed meeting minutes that include
clear action items. An updated project schedule
will be presented at progress meetings to ensure
alignment and transparency.

The RICK Team will work with the City throughout
the project timeline to confirm program elements,
design standards, and long-term maintenance
considerations.

We will deliver monthly progress reports to keep
the City informed of project advancements to
supply additional documentation as requested.

Support City staff by preparing and presenting
project updates to the City Council, relevant
agencies and commissions, and community groups
as needed.

Deliverables:
[Kickoff Meeting.
[Monthly Updated Project Schedules.
[Biweekly Meetings.
[Agendas and Meeting Minutes.
[Monthly Invoicing Progress.
[Progress Reports.
[Project Documentation.
[Stakeholder Presentations.

TASK 2. Data Collection and Field Review
We will research and obtain available improvement
and utility as-builts drawings and available GIS
records from applicable agencies.

The RICK Team will conduct a site walk to
assess existing conditions of the project site as a
proposed public park. Observations will be used
to identify potential opportunities and constraints,
aid in base map development, and to support later
engineering and landscape architecture tasks.

Deliverables:
[Provide copies of research and as-built
drawings.
[Provide site walk notes and graphics.

TASK 3. Existing Tree Evaluation and Protection
The team will verify the tree’s exact location and
species along the property line and bring in a
certified arborist to evaluate its health, structural
condition, and potential to be retained. As part
of this review, we will look at how the planned
improvements—such as the property-line wall,
grading, and utility work—may affect the tree’s root
system and canopy.

Once we have the arborist’s conclusions and
guidance from the City, we will determine whether
the tree should remain or be removed. If keeping
the tree is viable, we will add appropriate protection
measures and construction requirements to the
plans. These may include defining root-protection
areas, installing temporary fencing, limiting activity
within the drip line, and providing monitoring during
construction as needed.

The arborist’s recommendations will be
summarized in a brief report or memo for City
review and inclusion in the project file.

Deliverable:

QUALITY ASSURANCE/

QUALITY CONTROL
Delivering quality products is a
foundational component of RICK’s business
practice. The RICK Quality Assurance and Quality
Control Program is comprehensive and based on
proven techniques and years of experience. With
seven decades of experience, RICK has earned a
reputation for producing high-quality work, as
evidenced by its many long-term clients. No matter
the project size, we are committed to
understanding our clients’ needs, meeting the
quality requirements and standards specified, and
surpassing our clients’ expectations.

As a matter of practice, RICK promotes continual
emphasis and commitment to quality control
through all project phases. Our efforts are
facilitated by utilizing the Company’s Manual on
Quality Control Standards, periodic quality control
seminars, peer reviews, and staff performance
reviews throughout the year. We apply these
measures to all levels of work, including project
scheduling, internal reviews, record-keeping
documentation, and plan preparation. A quality
control plan is prepared for each project, and the
assigned Project Manager maintains the requisite
checklists.

Tim Gabrielson, PE, LEED AP will serve as the QA/
QC Manager for this project. Tim will develop and
oversee adherence to the QA/QC parameters;
supervise their implementation; conduct and/or
assign peer quality-control reviews throughout the
execution of contract tasks; and educate RICK staff
in QA/QC, as needed.

CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT
Our team continually improves when we
identify best practices and the project
team documents lessons learned throughout the
project life-cycle. We share this project data across
RICK’s multiple disciplines and integrate it into the
company’s institutional knowledge base. The
experience gained from one project can benefit
future projects and improve company capabilities
and the service we provide to the City.

RICK’s management approach to projects is
not one size fits all. We understand the need
to constantly adapt to fit the needs outlined
by the City’s project representative. We know
that a successful project starts with a clear
understanding and development of the scope and
fee from concept to completion of construction.

This approach helps ensure that assumptions are
in alignment for the success of the project.

6. STANDARD CONSULTANT AGREEMENT COMMENTS
City of Vista | AVENIDA DE BENITO JUAREZ POCKET PARK

6. Standard Consultant Agreement Comments
RICK takes two exceptions to the Standard Consultant Agreement and presents the following sections to be considered by the City of Vista:
[12.0 Contractor’s Status; Contractor’s Employees: 12.2 - Contractor represents and warrants that all design professional services shall be provided by, or supervised by, a person or persons duly licensed by the State of California to provide the type of services described in Exhibit A. [22.0 Indemnification: Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold City and its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers harmless against any and all liability, loss, damage, fine, penalty, expense, claim or cost (including without limitation costs and fees of litigation) of every nature (collectively, “Liability”) arising out of or in connection with this Contract or its performance, including defects in design, except: (1) Liability caused by City’s sole negligence or willful misconduct; or (2) for Liability caused by City’s active negligence, in which case the indemnity received by City shall be reduced by the amount: (i) that City’s active negligence contributed to the Liability on a comparative basis; or (ii) such other amount as may be required by law (“Duty of Indemnification”). Notwithstanding the above, any defense or indemnity shall not exceed the requirements of CA. Civil Code Sec. 2782.8.

EXHIBIT C

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Contractor shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the Contractor, his agents, representatives, employees, or subcontractors. Nothing in these provisions shall limit Contractor’s Duty of Indemnification.

MINIMUM SCOPE AND LIMIT OF INSURANCE
Coverage shall be at least as broad as:

1. Commercial General Liability (“CGL”): Insurance Services Office Form CG 00 01 covering CGL on an “occurrence” basis, including products, completed operations, property damage, bodily injury, and personal & advertising injury with limits no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence. If a general aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this Project/location or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit.

2. Automobile Liability: Insurance Services Office Form Number CA 0001 covering Code 1 (any auto), with limits no less than $2,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.

3. Workers’ Compensation insurance as required by the State of California, with Statutory Limits, and Employers’ Liability insurance with a limit of no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease.

Contractor shall also provide the additional coverages checked below and at least as broad as:

4. Professional Liability, with limits no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence or claim, and $2,000,000 policy aggregate.

If the Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to City.

Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions
Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At the option of City, either: the Contractor shall cause the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers; or the Contractor shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to City guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses.
