STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS Project Approach Our approach to the design of the renovation program for Centennial Lake is to address each of the seven (7) deficiencies Identified in the preliminary study through a purposeful design approach that draws upon the experience and expertise of a team of twelve (12) subject area experts included on the Dudek team (See Table -1). Our team includes experts in the following fields: • Lake design and construction • Lake management • Construction document preparation • Personnel and public safety • Fisheries establishment and management • Treatment system design • Wildlife biology - waterfowl and avian management • Habitat restoration • Landscape architecture • Horticulture • Graphic design and signage • Pump station design • Electrical power and control system design • CEQA documentation, and resource agency permitting Our plan is to design a comprehensive lake renovation plan that addresses all aspects of project implementation from preliminary design and CEQA documentation, through final design and construction. We have also included a Lake Design Manual In the project deliverables to assist the City with long-term care and management of the lake ecosystem, fishery, wildlife, and habitat management and to provide documentation of the lake design as well as guidance for City staff. The preliminary lake rehabilitation plans includes the creation a waterfowl sanctuary/habitat island. x Dudek understands that the biological goal of the -_---� - - -- proposed waterfowl island is to provide a refuge for�w wildlife, particularly migratory waterfowl, which would a _ encourage them to remain away from the active o'er -,m iFa 9 Y public use recreation areas and encourage them to engage in normal seasonal behavior and migration with limited human intervention. The intent is also to develop educational information and public outreach �" 0Ni° TMY 00$K610N for park users to help educate the users and assist Dudek haspreparedlnformationk/oskgraphics for with the management of the waterfowl at the park. sfmflarprojectsincluding Suisun Marsh/PotreroHills Dudek will review the current wildlife species and Overlook Park City of Santa Barbara visitor Information center, and the City of San Diego population present at the park and within the lake recycling center al Wainer area, will develop a target species list and will determine a suitable carrying capacity for the lake and the Island. A Dudek Wildlife Biologist will assist with the design and selection of plant materials for the island and lake margins. Design support will include assistance in creating an island with appropriate access slope and vegetation for waterfowl use, to encourage use of the area by wildlife that is protected from human intrusion and interaction. Preliminary Design Phase Dudek will begin the project with a kickoff meeting with City staff to reconfirm the City's vision for the project, as well as the project design goals, coordination with the Orange County Water District (OCW D) injection well project, and the delivery schedule for project deliverables. Dudek will develop and design a renovation plan that will reflect the City s goals for the project. The Dudek team will begin the preliminary design process with a site visit for the various subject area experts along with City DUDEK Proposal for Centennial Lake Renovation,.r 25E-23
