Santa Ana Zoo — 2021 Accessibility Improvements — Revised November 3, 2021 Page 2 Our work will include the following tasks and meetings: Landscape Concept Plan Phase • An initial meeting with you and other Zoo staff to discuss the design goals for the project, ideas about each of the areas to be included, and the design style of the proposed hardscapes and landscapes. During this meeting the Zoo will provide copies existing plans for areas 3, 4 and 6 along with any overall Zoo plans that DPA may use to establish base maps for the proposed work. • An initial site visit to determine the locations of existing features and plantings to remain. During this visit we will assess opportunities and constraints of the site. For areas 1, 2, 5 and 7 this will include a rudimentary horizontal survey (measuring with a tape and establishing basic relative elevations using a laser level) to locate existing pavement edges and major features. This visual survey is for landscape purposes only, and will not include a legal property or full topographic survey. It is intended only to locate existing landscape and site improvements for preparing a schematic plan. • Preparation of base maps from existing plans and survey information. • Preparation of a detailed Landscape Concept Plan of each area at 1/8" = V scale. These concept plans will depict proposed landscape and hardscape features of the site including building proposed pedestrian walkway areas; plazas; adjacent railings and fences; adjacent planters; transition zones between new and existing materials and other site amenities. At each area we will look for opportunities to include graphic or accent elements that enhance the visitor experience of the space. • A rough colored sketch concept plan for each area will be prepared for your review prior to preparation of the final colored concept plans. Proposed materials, colors, finishes and product information will be depicted and noted on the individual concept plans for each of the 7 areas. • Each final concept plan will be color rendered (maximum of two times) for presentation purposes as noted above. • Attendance at regular design review meetings with you and other Zoo staff during the design process are included in our work. Two of these meetings will be at Santa Ana Zoo with others utilizing Zoom or similar on-line platforms. Plans will be revised per comments received at each meeting. • A preliminary opinion of probable cost for planting, irrigation and hardscape will be provided based on the concept plan. The cost opinion will be divided into likely construction phases as determined during the design process.
