Proposal to provide Landscape Architectural Design Services for loth and Flower Park — RFP No. 22-124 F. Public Outreach DEA will be available for a minimum of two public outreach meetings to gain input from residents on the design and aesthetic features desired within the park site (our scope of services currently includes two meetings; whereas additional public meetings could be subject to additional fees). DEA will organize, help promote (mailing list based on City input) and facilitate these meetings in addition to providing the presentation material (graphics and renderings). The goal of these meetings includes discussing key project aspects, benefits and consequences. DEA will have a bilingual design team member available for each team meeting. Deliverables: Attendance at two public outreach meetings including assistance with promoting said meetings. G. Utility Coordination DEA will perform utility research and coordination in preparation of the site utility plan. This research will include searching for available record utility data within or adjacent to the project limits. DEA will gather available information from the utility purveyors regarding their facilities in the project area. Underground utilities will be mapped by record public information only; subsurface utilities that are not identified on existing record maps will not be shown. The record utility information will be used to determine points of connection for electrical (Edison), irrigation and domestic water in the preparation of a site utility plan. Deliverables: Data collection, utility research and coordination, preparation of a site utility plan to provide power/electrical, irrigation and domestic water to the project site. H. Environmental (TBD) We have assumed that the City will provide the Phase / ESA separately. The project would be subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on our experience with parks projects and the resources in the City of Santa Ana, we have assumed that the appropriate environmental document would be an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) with supporting technical studies. ECORP's scope of work, cost, and schedule for these services are provided below. ECORP will prepare the CEQA IS/MND and supporting technical studies for biological resources and cultural resources. Models for air quality/greenhouse gas, noise, and energy will be conducted and the results will be included within the IS/MND with supporting modeling data appended to the IS/MND. ECORP has assumed that the analysis in the technical studies and models will not identify any unavoidable significant impacts, and that an IS/MND will be the appropriate CEQA document. ECORP will prepare an Administrative Draft, Draft, Administrative Final and Final IS/MND for the project and will prepare and file the Notice of Intent and Notice of Determination with the State Clearinghouse and Orange County Clerk. ECORP will also mail the NOI to up to 20 addresses and arrange for publication in one local newspaper. ECORP will assist the City with government - to -government consultation with California Native American tribes under Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) through drafting notification letters and documentation of the consultation process. DEA will assess the proposed park to determine if it is required to prepare a VMT analysis for environmental clearance under CEQA. DEA will apply the city's four criteria to the project and indicate whether the project satisfies any criterion. DEA will document the screening assessment and its most critical conclusion in a technical memorandum which will include any analysis or mapping used as part of the assessment. I. Civil Engineering Plans 1 1 - Geotechnical Investigation Project Set-up: Under the direction of the project manager, a staff professional from Converse will set up the project to provide the services outlined under our scope of work. The project set-up will include the following. ■ Coordinate with DEA and the City representative to schedule the field investigation. ■ Perform a site reconnaissance to verify existing conditions.
