D. UNDERSTANDING OF NEED PROJECT UNDERSTANDING Verde Design understands that the City of Santa Ana (City), Public Works Agency is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide on -call landscape architectural services to perform a variety of services, including but not limited to the delivery of projects potentially on all levels, ranging from site specific master planning, concept planning, feasibility studies, design, contract document development bid advertisement and construction support. To help the City accomplish their future goals and projects, we have hand -selected a team with specialized public recreational and athletic facility knowledge, problem -solving experience, and a history of successfully working together on an extensive list of projects for various agencies with similar scope to the City's anticipated projects. We recognize the importance of building and developing new and ongoing relationships throughout your projects, and are committed to maintaining a consistent proposed project team. Please see below for Verde Design's approach to projects. PROJECTAPPROACH Verde Design believes that the key to developing successful projects begins with a simple, but clear, philosophy. Investigate, Listen, Understand, and Recommend are the core elements of our project approach. Beginning with our initial kick-off meeting with City staff, we will learn more about the proposed project and better understand your goals. This framework is critical to ensure consistent and clear communication is established between our team and City staff Investigate - The first step to the success of a project begins with solid investigation. We would review existing documents and plans. On recreational projects, we will conduct a site visit with City staff to understand and analyze the existing conditions of the facilities. This will ensure that we fully understand the project's parameters and constraints, as well as the existing site conditions. This site analysis effort will be utilized throughout the duration of the project, enabling educated and effective decisions to be made at the beginning of the design phase and throughout the project. Listen - A key element to project success, we emphasize the importance of listening to all project stakeholders' concerns and desires. Our team will provide options and incorporate guidance provided by City staff, including maintenance and operations staff, user groups, advisory bodies, and members of the community, and communicate this back to the project team. The result of our focus on listening is a cohesive team that works together on a shared path of understanding with your goals in mind, resulting in smooth running projects. Understand -As we mentioned, we use all information available to develop design solutions that respond to our client's project needs, including site constraints, City staff direction, community feedback, and the allocated budget. Based on input from the kick-off meeting with staff and the site walk, we will develop construction documents. Recommend - Using your clear and approved concept, we will render the project's vision into a complete, biddable set of construction documents. The Verde Design team will draw upon past successes with our extensive recreational City projects, including surrounding City projects and knowledge of recreational and athletic facility design and construction to seamlessly facilitate the construction document phase. r LADS PEA "HITECU- ENGINEERING -SPORT PLANN G & DESIGN �J �e
