ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES AND CONSTRUCTION
DOCUMENTS FOR CITRUS RANCH PARK, PROJECT NO. 2046
SUMMARY
Approval of a Consultant Services Agreement between the City of Tustin and RJM
Design Group, Inc., to provide the City with architectural design, construction
documents and plans and specifications for the improvements to Citrus Ranch Park,
Project No. 2046.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Consultant Services Agreement with the
firm of RJM Design Group, Inc., for the Citrus Ranch Park project in an amount not
to exceed $328,515.00.
2. Approve a supplemental appropriation of $250,000 from the 2004/05 Fiscal Year
Park Development Fund into the Capital Improvement Program for Project No. 2046
for Final Design.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2004-2005 FY Capital Improvement Program includes the development of plans,
specifications and construction documents for the Citrus Ranch Park. The total
appropriation for the project is $3.6 Million. The Consultant Services Agreement of
$328,515.00 is just below 10% of the total projected cost. These funds have been
allocated and are identified in the Park Development Fund for the preparation of plans
and specifications.
BACKGROUND
The Tustin City Council adopted the Parks Seven-Year Capital Improvement Plan for
FY 2004/05, which included the preparation of construction and bid documents for the
Citrus Ranch Park. Three firms responded to the City's Request for Proposal for
Architectural and Construction Drawings. The proposals were evaluated and RJM
Design Group of San Juan Capistrano was selected. This decision was based upon the
firm's strong background in recreation and park planning, extensive local experience in
working with municipal agencies and the submittal of the lowest cost of all those who
submitted proposals. RJM Design Group, Inc., created the master plan for Citrus
Page 2
Ranch Park in 2001. The negotiated fee for the agreement is fair and reasonable. The
City Attorney has approved the Consultant Services Agreement as to form.

Re:
Request/or Proposal/or the
Citrus Ranch Park Project
Dear Mr. Sanchez:
RJM Design Group, Inc. in collaboration with our Design Team is pleased to submit our
proposal for the preparation of the construction documents and bid specifications for the Citrus
Ranch Park.
The unique site area combined with its agricultural character creates an opportunity to develop a
very special and unique park facility. Our previous experience with the City of Tustin combined
with our involvement in the development of the Master Plan for this project provides both
inspiration and motivation to continue our assistance in the development of this project.
Based upon our previous experience with the Community, Council and Commission Members
and our collaboration with City Staff, we are genuinely excited about the opportunity to again
work with the City of Tustin.
We believe our team's prior experience and familiarity with this project will provide valuable
assistance and serve to facilitate timely information exchange, goal and policy assessment and a
rapid "start-up".
We look forward to your review and evaluation of our proposal for this project. In the
meantime, thank you for providing us the opportunity to present our methodology to you. We
look forward to the opportunity to further discuss our approach and capabilities with you.
Sincerely,
e~

Methodology
Scope of Work
The City of Tustin has an opportunity to provide its community with a
variety of recreational activities and outdoor events with the develop-
ment of the Citrus Ranch Park Project. The p~ervation of the citrus
grove will be a lasting landmark in the City of Tustin, which will reflect
the significance of the agricultural history in the City and Orange
County. Another unique opportunity exists in the development of the
park to create a theme of the past history, and provide interpretive dis-
plays to describe and illustrate what life was like back in that era.
Coordinaôon with Staff
RJM's Design Team, individually and collectively, has directed many in-
terdisciplinary planning and design projects. We have found that team-
work and close coordination between the client, consultants and agen-
cies is essential to a successful project. We recognize that the design
team will be responsible for ensuring that a high degree of coordination
occurs and the project milestones are met. A major priority of the de-
sign team will be to establish a regular dialogue with the City staff and
interested parties so that our products reflect project goals and policies.
Project M..n..W"'....t
The importance of this project demands an organizational framework
that focuses specialists in varied disciplines towards one common goal.
Our Design Team has been specially selected from the best talent
available. Our approach to this project is based on a strong relationship
between the team members and a thorough understanding of the
project requirements.
We suggest working with a representative from the City that will fonn
the conduit through which all project infonnation is exchanged and
relayed to the proper entities.
Our objective is to define the problem, gather all pertinent facts, analyze
the infonnation, develop the best alternatives, and select the most viable
solutions for implementation. It is the responsibility of our Design
Team Leader to ensure that the team is efficiently moving in the right
directions in accordance with the project requirements and the desires
of the City of Tustin.

Methodology
A "QualitY Assurance Pwgnun" for the pwject
The specific scale, schedule, and complexity of each project will
require an organizational &amework, which breaks the work down
into manageable product-oriented phases. The Principal Landscape
Architect will be ultimately responsible for all work produced under
his direction. A constant review process is implemented in all phases
of the work. Our office work environment is designed for this
process; we utilize an open, studio approach to the design process.
We believe that effective communications are vitally important to
the success of every project. Team meetings will be held at regular
intervals during the early phases of the project and then on an as-
needed basis thereafter. Our offices depend on e-mail, fax, and tele-
phone communications as primary sources. Written documentation
in the fonn of Project Memorandums will be mailed.
Master Plan Graphics
(Future Patk Site)
Citrus Ranch Patk
The importance of review and checking cannot be over
emphasized, given the extreme time constraints under which
documents are often produced.
Checking plays a central role in our quality assurance effort.
.
Documents are comprehensively checked at one or more
milestones before they are completed. At each milestone a
statement of probable construction costs are prepared based
on recent construction bid information, for the purpose of
verifying the proposed improvements are within the City's
construction budget.
A senior person not associated with the project checks all
documents before they are issued.
One person checks all important dimensions.
The person responsible for the drawings reviews the
specification text, and the specification writer reviews the
drawings.
Consultants review the documents produced by other
contributors for coordination.
The City reviews and approves the documents before they
are issued.
.
.
.
.
We are familiar with the City of Tustin plan check procedures and
peer review and have assisted in this capacity on prior projects.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
I have 20 years of environmental management and consulting experience. My experience ranges
from commercial building sites to small industrial sites to large Superfund sites. I have worked
on and directed environmental investigations, assessments, remediations, risk assessments, and
wetlands delineations for private sector, municipal and military clients throughout the United
States. I have designed and implemented investigations at diverse sites such as landfills, dry
cleaning facilities, agricultural chemical manufacturers, gasoline stations, metal plating facilities,
anned services depots and bases; and managed multiple-site portfolios of over 1,250 sites.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE:
I have managed projects that have used risk assessments to evaluate the impacts to human health
or the environment of chemicals released via air borne emissions, from end-of-pipe discharges,
from spills resulting from emergency releases, and from retro-fit or demolition activities. I have
conducted risk assessments to derive appropriate cleanup goals at Superfund sites, and for
remedial actions. Presented below are a few examples ofprojects I have managed.
. Working as part of team of consultants for a municipality that obtained USEP A funding for
Brownfields redevelopment of a 56-acre oil fields site. The project requires both an EIR and
EIS. The objective of the work scope is to ensure the site is safe for the future intended use
using human health risk-based clean up goals. The site requires investigation, assessment
and possibly remediation.

. Worked as part of a team of consultants in an oversight capacity for a municipality that is
redeveloping an II-acre parcel fonnerly used in the aerospace industry. The project required
an EIR. The applicant's consultants and the municipality's consultants worked together to
ensure the final work product is acceptable to all stakeholders. The site requires remediation
prior to development.
. Working for two municipalities on several fonner industrial sites less than I-acre in size
slated for redevelopment. The objective is to investigate, assess and possibly remediate using
hwnan health risk-based clean up goals to obtain regulatory agency sign-off.
. Worked as part of a team of consultants retained by a commercial real estate developer in
Northern California. A residential development was under construction on an old Army
Airfield base when it became apparent that volatile organic compounds (VOCs), in addition
to methane, were migrating from a landfill adjacent to the planned residential development
into the development. Participated in the investigation and assessment of the soil vapor.
Assessed the risk to hwnan health of the VOCs. Participated in several homeowner's
meetings.
. Managed two proposed school sites through the California Environmental Protection Agency,
Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) School Investigation Unit, Preliminary
Endangennent Assessment (PEA) Process. Worked with the school district and the
regulators to ensure the sites were appropriate for the construction of new schools.
. Managed a Brownfields Pilot Project for a municipality that obtained funding from the
USEPA. The objective was to locate environmentally-impacted sites within the
municipality's jurisdiction that are attractive for redevelopment as green space or commercial
enterprises and conduct environmental investigations, assessments and remediations such that
the sites are viable redevelopment projects.
. Worked with a team of consultants to provide environmental services for a municipality
regarding the sale and redevelopment of a IOO-acre parcel used for the manufacture of
airplanes for over 75 years. Negotiated the structure of the report to assess risk to
construction workers, onsite commercial workers, post-redevelopment, and off-site receptors
during construction activities. Involved in public meetings as part of the CEQA process.
Challenge was to negotiate the diverse interests of the parties involved and have a docwnent
that is defensible, credible, acceptable and that accurately presents the potential health risks.
Routes of exposure include fugitive dusts, air emissions, inhalation, ingestion and dennal
contact.
.
Conducted two brownfield redevelopment projects in downtown Los Angeles. Both projects
involved demolition of existing structures, excavation of footings, foundations and impacted
soils and obtaining risk-based closure from California Environmental Protection Agency
Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC). The sites were enrolled in DTSC's
voluntary cleanup program and risk-based closure was obtained by following the preliminary

endangennent assessment guidelines. The chemicals of concern included metals in soils to a
depth of 25 feet below ground surface.
. Managed a project that used risk assessment techniques to obtain risk-based closure for a
fonner pesticide manufacturing facility in Orange County. Remediation was conducted to
remove soil containing elevated concentrations of contaminants. Resultant risk assessment
conducted in accordance with DTSC's voluntary cleanup program indicated cleanup was
complete and the site no longer posed an unacceptable risk to hwnan health. Future intended
use of the property is a retirement community.
.
Managed several projects that used DTSC's preliminary endangennent assessment guidance
in accordance with DTSC's voluntary cleanup program to obtain risk-based closure for
fonner dry cleaning sites in Los Angeles County and Orange County.
. Managed a project that used a statistical risk assessment to derive exposure concentrations
and ultimate impacts to hwnans through the inhalation exposure route for an airborne release
fröm a refinery in Northern California. The chemicals of concern included a known hwnan
carcinogen, the frequency of exposure was very low (the release was acute) and the release
although widespread was diffuse, as the wind direction was variable throughout the release.
.
Risks of exposure to total petrolewn hydrocarbons, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, total
xylenes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated volatile organic compounds and
metals for hwnan receptors and groundwater quality were evaluated in accordance with
DTSC and USEP A guidelines at a state Superfund site in Southern California. Chemical fate
and transport models were used to predict the migration of the chemicals in soil to
groundwater and to air. Health risks for industrial use of the site were detennined to be
below acceptable levels.
.
Reviewed and provided comments on the risk assessments prepared for the Palos Verdes
Shelf Superfund project. The chemicals of concern included DDT and metals. The impacted
mediwn is sediments and the impacted receptors are fish, invertebrates and shellfish.
.
Managed the project that used ecological risk assessment techniques at Naval Air Station
(NAS) Moffett Field. The risk assessment included a site-wide ecological assessment of the
air station. The assessment endpoints included protection of surface water and wetland
habitats and protection of individual special status species. The chemicals of potential
concern included organochlorine pesticides, heavy metals, petrolewn products and
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons.
.
Prepared the work plan for the ecological risk assessment at Defense Depot Region West
(DDRW) Tracy on behalf of the Anny Corps of Engineers. The risk assessment followed a
phased approach that allowed the risk assessor to evaluate whether next steps are required
during implementation of the risk assessment process.

. Completed an ecological risk assessment for an 1,100 acre refmery in Rodeo, California.
The chemicals of concern were heavy metals, the ecological receptors were birds of prey,
and the assessment endpoint was to evaluate the potential chemical effects emanating from
the refmery on the terrestrial ecosystem.
. Perfonned an ecological risk assessment at a fonner pesticide fonnulation facility in Georgia.
The Superfund site was active in the 1950s through the 1970s and was a fonnulation facility
of organochlorine pesticides (including DDT), organophosphate pesticides, and chlorinated
herbicides in addition to handling solvents (including toxaphene). The effects of the
chemicals of concern on two distinct terrestrial habitats on-site were evaluated.
