STATEMENT OF QUALIFICAITONS management specialist working together to develop a planting palette that aesthetically pleasing and functionally supports the fishery and helps to remove excess nutrients from the lake. • Our design plans will include natural vector control measures designed by an avian speclalist such as bat boxes to encourage roosting of California native bats to keep vectors under control such as mosquitos and other common flying Insects that are commonly problematic at community lakes such as midges, flies, caddis flies, small beetles, and moths under control. • Our design plans will include natural vector control measures designed by an avian specialist such as owl boxes to encourage nesting of California native bam owls to keep vectors under control such as rodents and other common small animals that can be problematic at community lakes such as small birds, ducks, geese, snakes and lizards. • Our design plans and Lake Manual will Include a fishery management plan designed by a fishery management specialist and limnologist to develop a robust sport fishing lake and diverse ecosystem of fish and aquatic animals. • Our design plans include signage and a kiosk developed and designed by a graphic artist and signage development specialist. Bid Support, Construction Support and Record Drawing Phase Upon approval of the final design documents. The Dudek team will assist the City with the contractor bidding process and through construction of the lake. Our team is led by a Lake and Water Feature Design Engineer with over 23 -years of experience in lake design, lake inspection, lake construction, and lake management. We have assembled a team of specialist for each unique aspect of the project that is experienced in design and construction. We will assist the City with preparation of a set of bid documents Including a complete set of construction plans and construction specifications for circulation to bidding contractors. We will conduct a pre-bid site meeting for contractors to discuss the project and to answer any questions they may have. We will also provide construction engineering and observation services to ensure that contractor material submittals are in substantial conformance with the project construction documents and that the construction of the lake renovation plan meets the design intent and the scope of the project specifications. It is our goal to help the City through the entire process of renovating Centennial Lake from identifying deficiencies and problems with the lake through designing solutions and constructing the renovation plan. All but three species of the over 300 ducks and geese that currently reside at Centennial Lake are non-native domestic species. They currently reside at the lake because there is an abundant food source and few predators. These species will leave the lake park during construction and likely will never return. Reducing the waterfowl population at the lake is paramount to the success of this project. The lake renovation construction period will provide an opportunity to reset waterfowl population and re-establish the lake ecosystem. Once the lake ecosystem is re-established our comprehensive lake renovation plan is designed to create a self-correcting lake that requires no chemical inputs and needs only basic management activities such as macro trash removal from skimmers. Our lake system design includes redundant water quality controls with the intent to maintain optimum water quality and a healthy fishery using mechanical, biological, environmental, and socio -behavioral design features working together to develop a lake that is a unique asset to the community and a pleasure to visit. ,,.�M1-,..,. y..,.z.
