Philosophy
Planning, designing and building a project to meet today’s needs
is an all encompassing challenge. The practice of landscape
architecture has become an integrated team effort, carefully
considering the needs and desires of the people who live, work
and play within the projects we design. As landscape architects
and planners, we have a responsibility to the general public to
create the best possible environment. The knowledge to design
this environment is obtained from two sources, our past experi-
ence; which help us provide practical and timely designs within
budget restraints, and our vision of the future; which gives our
designs life and meaning that will grow beyond the present.

PROPOSAL SCOPE
Project Understanding and Management Approach
Understanding
The City intends to contract with a Landscape Architectural firm to undertake renovating Arnold
Cypress Park. The reimagined park facility was developed by the City and RFA to include (4) lighted
softball fields, soccer field overlay, bullpens and batting cage, new restroom/concession building
with full kitchen (approx.1,600sf), new community Pavilion (approx.1,600sf), expanded parking lot,
lighted basketball ball, (6) pickleball Courts, picnic and shade opportunities, tot Lot and school aged
children’s play areas, multi-use sport court, seating for all uses, landscape and irrigation. The site
currently features many mature trees, the project design will look at design concepts that maximize
protection of trees to the extent feasible. Additional amenities may be included as the design is
finalized.
The design shall be inclusive and offer a Family friendly park facility. The approach to providing
such a facility has been identified within the preliminary park masterplan. That is, a wide variety of
amenities that offer active and passive recreation opportunities to users of all ages and abilities.
The design and location of the amenities advances the notion of “Family”. Parking and ADA
accessibility are designed to provide equal access in close proximity of buildings, restrooms and
spectator seating. Feature separate age appropriate play structures in close relation to each other
as well as within the main plaza space. Mindful design to keep the site visually open and limit
obstructions that provide hiding places. Include input from the Police Department related to
protection of the public, property and emergency access. Selection of materials that are proven to
stand up to public use and (sometimes) abuse, providing a facility that can be maintained by the
City offering a quality environment for many years. Thoughtful placement of above and below grade
utilities with a mind towards ease of maintenance as well as visually out of sight of park users.
Basic Services. Perform all the necessary professional CEQA compliance, landscape architectural,
architectural and engineering services in a timely and professional manner consistent with the
standards of the profession.
Project Management. Provide overall project management, project scheduling and consult with all
parties and team members throughout the entire length of the project. Meet with City Staff, and
others as directed to establish communications and formulate working relationships.
City Provided Information. City shall provide all existing documentation it has on file for the project
that may include existing utility locations and depths, survey/boundary information, copies of
easement documentation, list of agencies having jurisdiction over the project, and the contact person
for the agency, street improvement plans and storm drain plans. HAI, Hirsch & Associates, Inc and
our team members will make a good-faith effort to verify the accuracy of such information and utilize
it in the preparation of the final working drawings and specifications.
Communication. Participate in consultations and conferences with City Staff and other agencies
having jurisdiction over the Project that may be necessary for the completion of the Project. Such
consultations and conferences shall continue throughout the project duration. Communication will
include a combination of email, telephone, ZOOM Video Conference and in person meetings at a
Community Center and/or project site.
Project Feasibility. Provide advice and assistance in determining the feasibility of the Project,
analyze the type and quality of materials and construction methods to be selected, and other initial
planning matters.
Budget. Use our best judgment in determining the balance between the size, type and quality of
construction to achieve a satisfactory solution to maintain the City’s stated budget.

DUDEK WORK PLAN
4. Project Work Plan
Project Understanding
The proposed project involves redevelopment of the 14.5-acre Arnold Cypress Park at the southwest corner
of Crescent Avenue and Watson Street. The existing park contains playfields, a tot lot, restrooms and
pickleball courts and serves as the home facility for Cypress Girls’ Softball. The existing amenities have
exceeded their design life and no longer meet the needs of the community. The City conducted community
outreach workshops which resulted in a list of amenities and facilities which will be included in the
redeveloped park. These amenities include four softball fields, six batting cages, six pickle ball courts, one
multi-use court, a centralized restroom and concession building, a basketball/volleyball court, a playground,
a picnic pavilion, and a walking/jogging path with exercise equipment stations. A conceptual design has
been put forward by the City which will be further refined and modified by a design consultant.
Project Approach
Task 1: Project Initiation and Description
It is assumed that an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) will provide the appropriate level
of CEQA compliance. Dudek will coordinate a meeting with the design team to initiate the CEQA process;
review project background, plans, and existing conditions on and around the project site; identify data needs
and the approach to technical studies; and to identify existing project information, data, and schedule for the
CEQA process. Dudek will prepare a detailed project description that includes:
• Project objectives
• Project site description (existing conditions)
• Proposed on-site improvements to existing facilities, including the footprint of disturbance
• Construction activities and anticipated phasing
• Anticipated operational characteristics
• Required approvals and permits
The project description will include maps and figures that identify the project location and existing conditions.
Task 2: Project Management
Dudek considers the project management task as utmost in importance. We believe that a focused, well-
managed effort by Dudek, the City, and the entire consulting team will be the key to achieving the processing
goals for this project. Our scope of work devotes a generous amount of time to project management,
because it is our experience that providing this a greater level of focus can result in substantial time and
cost savings, as contrasted with a less focused and more prolonged project entitlement effort.
This task includes time for the Dudek project manager to oversee the budget, scheduling, and
implementation, as well as organize and oversee preparation of environmental documents. The project
manager will be responsible for facilitating timely completion of each task, within the contracted budget,
while verifying that the product meets the City’s needs. The project manager will be responsible for tracking
the budget, schedule, and scope of work to facilitate efficient use of resources.
Task 3: Technical Memorandums
The following technical review tasks, Tasks 3-1 through 3-3, would be prepared to support the CEQA analysis
and preparation of the IS. It should be noted that Dudek would review all existing technical studies that have
been previously prepared for adequacy prior to moving forward with any of the studies identified below. In
some cases, existing studies may be adequate for CEQA compliance or may require a “refresh” or only minimal
update, such as a brief memo stating that no changes have occurred, to be adequate for CEQA purposes.
Task 3-1: Air Quality, Greenhouse Gases, and Energy Analysis
Air Quality. Dudek will prepare the air quality section of the MND for the proposed project utilizing the significance
thresholds prescribed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Dudek will estimate emissions
associated with the construction and operational phases of the project using the most recent version of California
Emission Estimator Model (CalEEMod) Version 2020.4.0. The emission estimates will be based on the information
provided by the project team, including (but not limited to) the project description, site layout, anticipated average
daily traffic, construction schedule, Construction equipment list and other construction related data. Additional
Appendix G thresholds will also be evaluated, including the potential for the project to expose sensitive receptors to
substantial pollutant concentrations, to result in other emissions, such as odors, or to impede attainment of the
current SCAQMD Air Quality Management Plan. Details of the analysis (e.g., daily criteria air pollutant emission
calculations) will be included in an appendix to the IS/MND.
Greenhouse Gases. An assessment of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the project will be
prepared. This assessment will include a brief description of global climate change, summary of the scientific
fundamentals of the topic, and relevant regulatory measures. Dudek will calculate the GHG emissions associated
with construction and operational phases of the proposed project using CalEEMod. Emission calculations will be
based on the same assumptions utilized in the Air Quality analysis. Dudek will assess the significance of the
proposed project with respect to the Appendix G thresholds; specifically, whether the implementation of the
proposed project would generate GHG emissions that may have a significant impact on the environment or would
conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs.
Dudek will work with the City to identify the appropriate significance thresholds for the analysis. Consistency with
AB 32 will be qualitatively assessed, and “sustainable” characteristics of the proposed project will be identified.
Details of the analysis (e.g., emission calculations) will be included in the appendix.
Energy. Dudek will prepare an energy assessment for the project per Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines.
Based on Appendix G, the impact analysis will assess if the project would (1) result in potentially significant
environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during
project construction or operation, and (2) conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy
or energy efficiency. Petroleum consumption will be estimated using CalEEMod and based on the same
equipment and vehicle assumptions assumed in the air quality and GHG emissions analysis. Project
elements that would reduce the project’s energy demand during construction and operations will be
identified in the analysis and quantified as available. Dudek assumes that the applicant will provide a list of
the project’s energy conservation measures prior to initiating air quality and GHG emissions modeling, as the
energy analysis will be prepared consistent with the emissions modeling assumptions.
Task 3-2: Noise Analysis
Dudek will conduct an environmental noise and vibration assessment. The analysis will identify and discuss
applicable noise exposure standards at the local, State, and Federal levels. Potential temporary and permanent
noise impacts associated with the proposed Project at nearby sensitive receptors will be predicted and evaluated
against the applicable thresholds.
Dudek will develop and execute a noise level monitoring program to quantify the existing ambient acoustical
conditions in the Project vicinity. The existing ambient noise monitoring program is anticipated to include
noise level measurements at up to three (3) locations; incorporating short-term (i.e. 10-15 minutes)
measurements at up to two (2) locations and long-term (i.e., 24-hour) monitoring at one (1) location.
Potential construction noise (temporary noise) at nearby noise-sensitive land uses will be evaluated using
construction noise level prediction methodologies developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA),
Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and empirical reference noise level data selected at Dudek discretion.
Construction noise levels will be discussed with respect to the application of applicable City of Cypress noise
level standards. Construction-related vibration will be discussed based on appropriate guidance by the U.S.
Department of Transportation, FTA, and Caltrans.
On-site operational (a.k.a., stationary) noise associated with the proposed project will be analyzed at nearby
noise-sensitive land uses. On-site operational noise sources that will be analyzed and discussed are
assumed to include normal recreational and sporting events, and any allowable special events, such as
parties and community events. The analysis will include up to three sample event/usage scenarios and be
based on available reference sound level emission data and information detailing the anticipated activities,
event capacities, and restrictions supplied by the project team.
Task 3-3: Cultural Resources Assessment (Optional Task if Required)
Based on provided information, the project would require a cultural resources study that meets local (City of
Carlsbad), CEQA, and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) requirements. Dudek will
complete a records search from the North Central Information Center (NCIC) with a half-mile buffer, Native
American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File search, Native American information outreach,
intensive- level pedestrian survey, and preparation of a negative County and federally-compliant format
report. Dudek will request a Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File search, and
will follow-up with NAHC-listed Native American representatives requesting additional information by letter
and by phone.
Field Survey: Field personnel will conduct an intensive-level pedestrian survey using transects no wider than
ten to fifteen meters. High probability areas and subsurface exposures will be given special attention. All
previously recorded sites (both prehistoric and historic) will be relocated. For the purposes of the proposal,
Dudek assumes that the inventory will identify no previously recorded or newly recorded cultural resources
within project limits. Should any resources be encountered during the survey that require recordation, Dudek
will work with the City to augment this scope and cost as appropriate.
Report: A survey report will be prepared to meet federal, state, and local standards. This will include an
abstract, table of contents, project description, regulatory framework, all consulted sources, field
methodology, setting, and findings. The report will also provide mitigation measures and recommendations
as appropriate. Maps, including a large-scale map with project boundary and Waters of the United Stated
boundaries (as available), will be included. In order to satisfy County requirements, Dudek will also review
the area for paleontological sensitivity. A formal paleontological records search is not anticipated to be
required given that the project area falls within a geologic formation that is not suitable to support the
formation of fossilized material.
Task 4 Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration
Based on the results of the studies and other research conducted by Dudek staff, Dudek will prepare a
detailed IS/MND to evaluate all potential impacts of the project, using the current CEQA Guidelines Appendix
G Initial Study Checklist. Each section will provide a description of the relevant physical conditions and
regulatory requirements; assess the project’s impacts; and identify appropriate, feasible, and effective
mitigation measures, as needed. Technical studies and other information sources will be referenced in
characterizing existing conditions and evaluating potential impacts. As appropriate, the IS will summarize
and incorporate relevant information from existing planning and environmental review documents.
Task 4-1: Administrative Draft IS/MND
Dudek will prepare an Administrative Draft IS/MND for review and comment by the City. Consistent with
CEQA Guidelines, the IS will identify potentially significant environmental impacts associated with project
implementation, and, if required, feasible mitigation measures designed to reduce those potentially adverse
impacts to less-than-significant levels. Analysis and substantiating documentation will be provided to support
all environmental checklist responses and conclusions, including the inclusion of high-quality, full-color
exhibits. All environmental impact areas outlined in the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G Environmental
Checklist will be analyzed. The findings of all technical studies prepared for the proposed project (Task 3-1
through 3-3) will be summarized and incorporated into the IS to support the significance determinations.
Task 4-2: Screencheck Draft IS
Based on discussions and written comments on the IS from the City and the project team, Dudek will make
edits to the Administrative Draft IS/MND and prepare a Screencheck Draft IS/MND and Mitigation
Monitoring Plan (MMP). The MMP will specify timing, performance, and monitoring requirements for each
mitigation measure identified in the IS. The Screencheck Draft will be submitted to the City for review and
any final edits in preparation for public circulation.
Task 4-3: Draft IS/MND
Dudek will make final edits to the IS/MND and MMP and prepare the Draft IS/MND and MMP for public
circulation. Dudek will also prepare the following:
• Notice of Intent (NOI) for posting at the County Clerk’s Office and City of Cypress’ website, on the project site
and/or publication in a local newspaper, and for distribution to anyone who has requested notice;
• Notice of Completion (NOC) to be filed with the State Clearinghouse along with required copies of the
Draft IS/MND and MMP;
• Electronic copy of the IS/MND and MMP for posting to City’s website; and
• Two (2) printed copies of the Draft IS/MND and MMP (if necessary).
Dudek will submit documents and notices to the State Clearinghouse and will file the NOI with the County
Clerk’s office.
Task 4-4: Final IS/MND
Dudek will review and respond to any comments received on the draft document and revise the document
as necessary. Dudek will consult with the City regarding any substantive comments and, if warranted,
prepare written responses to substantive comments and/or a memorandum discussing the public
comments. Dudek will submit the responses to comments and revised document (if applicable) the City in
electronic format for review. Dudek will budget for up to 15 individual comments on the document.
Task 4-5: Hearing and Notice of Determination
Dudek will prepare supporting materials as necessary for the City Council hearings for consideration of the proposed
project and environmental document and will be available to present a summary of the findings, respond to
questions, and participate in the meeting as necessary. Following approval, Dudek will prepare a Notice of
Determination (NOD) and file it with the County Clerk and State Clearinghouse. The City will be responsible for CEQA
review fees required to be paid to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife at the time of filing the NOD.

6. Submittals: We have budgeted to provide one (1) formal submittal package to the Architect for initial submittal to
the City and one resubmittal to address City comments. Additional site plan revisions and/or resubmittals to the
City will be addressed at additional services.
TASK 2: DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE
1. Coordination: Upon City Planning approvals, BKF will take ownership of the digital site plan layout and geometrics.
We will coordinate with the team and verify that the proposed plan conforms to existing conditions, boundary, and
site constraints. We will coordinate site utility services with the proposed building connection points along the
frontages. BKF will verify, based on the available record information, if there are any identifiable conflicts between
proposed and existing improvements. We will also determine during this phase if any additional survey is needed
to facilitate the design process.
2. Drawings: Based on the approved site plan as developed by the architect, BKF will prepare the following
documents:
· Existing Condition Plan / Topography – for reference only
· Demolition Plan
· Horizontal Control/ Site Improvement Plan
· Proposed Grading and Drainage Plan
· Typical Site Sections
· Composite (Wet) Utility Plan
3. Submittals: BKF will provide submittals at the 80% and 100% level of completion.
4. Preliminary Stormwater Control Plan – BKF will prepare a Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan (pWQMP)
stormwater control plan. In addition to the required treatment of storm water, the City/County has enacted a
policy that any new project must have a zero net affect the public storm drain system. Based on a preliminary
review, the site will be subject to the NPDES Stormwater regulations. In coordination with the project architect and
landscape architect, we will develop a conceptual method for complying with this provision. BKF will work with the
Architect and Landscape Architect to identify opportunities for low impact development (LID) elements at the site
such as green roof, pervious paving and flow through planters. We will also determine LID feasibility/infeasibility
based on NPDES regulations.
5. Specifications: BKF will provide plan specs and refer to site work 2018 Edition of Standard Specifications for Public
Works Construction (the “Greenbook”) for elements included in our scope of work.
6. Meetings: BKF has budgeted for up to eight (8) hours of online meetings for staff time to attend meetings and/or
participate in conference calls during this phase.
