This proposal includes our assumptions; our fees broken down by phases, our description of reimbursable expenses; our list of potential additional services; our list of exclusions/provisions; and requests made during our conversation with you and Mr. Mike Ortiz last Friday morning. ASSUMPTIONS We understand to date that the City of Santa Ana has identified, per your email last Friday, a $12M overall construction budget for the initial phase of the master plan implementation, the aquatic center. In determining a revised fee for PART 1, Concept Planning, we have based our fees upon the Master Plan Concept that was presented during our interview and attached herewith at Exhibit A. It is our understanding that the city is excited by the vision that we presented, and in general, the city looks forward to advancing this concept as the final Master Plan, with the following considerations: Potential options for a two -pool facility, thus allowing for an initial construction phase to include one of two pools, with a smaller building. In a future phase, a second pool could be added, as well as the expansion of the building to accommodate the extra building space required by the second pool. This is an important option to consider meeting the $12MM construction budget, while maintaining the vision of the els/swa master plan vision presented during our interview. As I shared, a phased, two -pool master plan could also provide for a richer and more diverse community aquatics center, offering a broader range of aquatics participation over a single 50m pool, which exists today. I'm attaching plans of our aquatic centers for the City of Piedmont and the City of Mountain View to give you and your colleagues a sense of what a two -pool center offers. 2. We will also carry the original single 50m pool concept, as presented during our interview. We will provide conceptual cost estimate of both the single 50m pool concept, and a first elsarch.com BERKELEY 1510.549.2929 LOS ANGELES 1213.348.1155 SACRAMENTO 1916.301.4411 2040 Addison Street 950 S.
