Security lighting along walkways • Drought tolerant planting in addition to a riparian plant palette where appropriate • Dry stream bed (river rock/ cobble) • Automatic drip irrigation system • Decomposed granite walkways and monument signs Wrought iron fencing with river rock pilasters Exercise Fitness Area (w/ ADA and ASTM compliance) The project schedule highlights the need for construction completion on or before April 30, 2016; thus necessitating that all plans must be complete, approved and ready for bid advertisement by October 30, 2015. DEA has prepared a comprehensive and aggressive schedule that requires full cooperation by our design team members as well as the City and outside agencies to ensure the work is completed prior to the above noted date. Scheduling Consideration We have created a schedule that strives for plan completion by mid-October, provided the project NTP is authorized on or before August 4th. If there is an opportunity to provide DEA with a purchase order to complete Tasks 2 and 3 given that the fee for said efforts might be below the threshold of necessitating City Council approval, our team can begin the work by mid to late July and thus commence work on the construction documents after the August 4th Council approval. This will allow a seamless transition between design development and the construction document phase. Our scope and fee addresses each of the elements denoted in the RFP in addition to the tasks necessary to prepare a comprehensive set of construction documents. Given our extensive experience with park and trail projects, we look forward to sharing our ideas with you on how best to implement your project within the available funding and prior to the deadlines set forth. Scgpg_of Mork Task 1 — Pre -Design / Project Start -Up Meeting The DEA project team will attend a start-up meeting with the City staff to review the scope of services, project goals, deliverables, budget and schedule. This task will also include a site visit with City staff. Deliverables: Attendance at project start-up meeting and site visit by key members of the project team. Task 2 — Topographic Survey 1. Provide topographic surveying services (via conventional field methods) to depict existing ground elevations and sufficient to generate contours. In addition, all visible above ground evidence of improvements and utilities shall be located to facilitate the design work. 2. DEA shall obtain a current, client supplied Title Report to which Title exceptions shall be reviewed and applicable easements/encumbrances shall be plotted on the CAD basemap for future design purposes. 3. OPTIONAL TASK: If the City wishes to formally delineate the parcel boundary, DEA can provide field work sufficient to delineate the boundary limits of APN No: 101-055-29 in the City of Santa Ana, County of Orange based on the client supplied Title report or Grant Deed. The boundary survey is shown as a separate optional task in our fee schedule for your convenience as we realize that this may not be necessary for the proposed improvements.
