Firm Organization, Credentials, Background Lake Forest Sports Park | Lake Forest, CA (RJM Project) City of Cypress • Design for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation | 4 Project Summary Orange County’s newest community, Rancho Mission Viejo, is located off Ortega Highway in South Orange County. It is home to a master planned 30 acre sports park unlike any other. Nestled in a natural rolling southern California landscape setting the environmental design of Esencia Sports Park is modeled after ranch industrialized facilities with board form buildings, steel I-beam shade structures, lighting, and landscape. This rustic sports park offers both private and public amenities including: two (2) baseball fields, one (1) softball field, custom designed restroom and concessions building, one (1) synthetic multi-use field, one (1) playground, two (2) dedicated tennis and eight (8) dedicated pickle ball courts, and parking. Additional passive support amenities include hiking trails, exercise stations, and picnicing. The sports park also offers community aquatic facilities overlooking the park complete with restrooms, a splash pad, lap swim lanes, open recreational swimming, as well as BBQ and cabana lounge areas. The site itself was designed to eliminate the need for expensive retaining walls while maximizing the buildable area through terraced pads and elevated concourses. The resulting design created hillside terraced seating, and elevated concessions allowing for maximum spectator viewing opportunities in a cost effective manner. The new Esencia Sports Park is designed to fulfill much of the recreational needs identified for this new community.

The park itself covers 86.2 acres with 57 acres of terraced pads devoted to sports field uses. Recreation elements include five ball fields, two basketball courts, two tot lots, two restroom/concession buildings, batting cages, two synthetic soccer fields, 230,000 SF natural grass area capable of multiple field layouts for tournaments/events, as well as an exercise par course. The sports park also includes a 25,000 SF Recreation Center as well as a stage area and support infrastructure throughout a 100,000 SF natural grass area designed for large community events. In addition to the active recreation amenities, sustainable design elements have been woven into the fabric of the sports park. Bio-retention areas collect run off water and treat it before it is released into adjacent streams. Recycled water is used in the restroom buildings reducing the demand on potable water. Additionally, Glass Creek has been designed to preserve all natural systems that previously occupied the site before the park’s development.

The project called for the renovation of the existing field which was in disrepair and lacking in on-going maintenance. New Astroturf Diamond Series was installed in the infield, outfield, foul ball, warning track, bull pen and pitcher’s areas. The system allows for different turf heights and densities to provide for faster play at the infield areas – to emulate major league infield characteristics. The system can be ‘tuned’ or adjusted by varying the sand and rubber infill rations to allow for faster or slower play. The entire system is installed over newly laid 4” aggregate base with drain lines at 15’ C.C. New foul line and outfield fencing, padding and windscreen complement the field’s installation and define the field as one the Districts premier baseball venue.

Several community participation workshops were held to develop public consensus on proposed park facilities. A consensus Master Plan for the park was developed from the workshop input. Soil sampling and testing were performed by SCS Engineers Environmental Consultants to determine if hazardous chemicals and/or pesticides were present from the nursery operations. Results from the testing verified that there were hot spots throughout the site. Working with both the County and State Health Departments, the economical solution was to bury the contaminated soil and cap with 3 feet of stable soil. Mitigation measures were implemented to include a soils re-use plan; community health and safety plan; and worker’s health and safety plan. The completed Community Park includes a dog park, skate park, playground, ballfields, soccer fields, perimeter trail, and picnicking. A perimeter loop road provides convenient vehicular access to parking and pedestrian links to all use areas of the park. An overlook area has a beautiful view to the ocean.

RJM will finalize the preliminary plan developed through the community workshops conducted in 2020. Building on the community desires our team in concert with City Staff will refine the plan to include modern design elements that have proven successful in sports park designs. Design elements including an elevated concourse for enhanced spectator viewing, proximity of playground elements for children to play while allowing the family members to still watch both siblings play on and off the field, well organized layouts functional for both practice and game demand. With such a proximity to residential areas our team has the capability to graphically illustrate what the real- world conditions will look like to neighbors. RJM has a proven track record of sports facility development adjacent to residential areas. We understand the sensitivity and careful consideration the perimeter of the park will require. Our design team has the proven skills to deliver a project that will: • Provide a design that addresses potential residential impacts of sports facility lighting • Evaluate grading options (balanced site vs. export) • Evaluate sports field layouts and various parking configurations, capacity, and game overlap • Provide restroom / concessions and support amenities based on previous community input • Incorporate playground and multi-use court facilities into the overall program of the site • Develop a modern 14.5-acre community park that will serve the community for decades to come. PROJECT MANAGEMENT / QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL Quality Assurance The success of RJM Design Group can best be measured by our numerous long-term relationships with our valued clients. In order to foster these relationships, our goal is to produce a high-quality product in the most effective manner possible by utilizing our proven QA/QC procedures. Our Quality Assurance Program is process-oriented and begins with experienced staff selected for the Arnold Cypress Park Project along with our firm’s commitment to ongoing education. Our experience is based on hundreds of successful projects and gratified clients. Our staff is encouraged to continually pursue expanding their current knowledge base in order to allow us to be at the forefront of our industry. Continuing education is pursued in the following areas: • PSMJ – Project Management (Applies to Arnold Cypress Park Project) • LEED – Sustainable Practices • QSP and QSD – Qualified SWPPP Practitioner and Developer (Applies to Arnold Cypress Park Project) • STMA - Sports Turf Managers Association (Applies to Arnold Cypress Park Project) • Arborist Certification (Applies to Arnold Cypress Park Project) • CPSI – Certified Playground Safety Inspector (Applies to Arnold Cypress Park Project) • AIA – American Institute of Architects (Applies to Arnold Cypress Park Project) • FAA – Part 107 Drone Pilots City of Cypress • Design for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation | 19 In addition to our well-educated and seasoned professionals is our thorough understanding of the project development process. This allows us to share information with our consultant team and clients so that our projects evolve in a proactive and well-orchestrated manner. Communication among staff, team members and client include the following project parameters: • Project Goals – clearly identified. • Program Needs – confirmed with the client. • Schedule – a project schedule is established at the onset which outlines the process evolution, major milestones, submittal dates, reviews, approvals, bid, construction, project opening, one-year follow up/review. • Budget – understanding the budget is critical to a project’s success. The project budget is clarified (client staff, consultant fees, entitlement costs, construction costs, etc.) versus construction budget. For the Arnold Cypress Park Project, we are assuming a construction fee of $11,600,000. • Construction Estimates - RJM maintains an extensive library of unit costs that are acquired through our numerous public bids, as well as from specialty consultants and independent cost estimators. This allows our preliminary opinion of probable construction cost to accurately reflect the anticipated contractors’ bids. Due to the complex construction economy, we have also contracted with Cumming for independent cost estimating on the Arnold Cypress Park. Quality Control Plan Our open office “bullpen” setting is especially conducive to regular milestone reviews and monitoring of a project. This review plays a central role in our quality control effort. The importance of plan review, checking, and cross-checking cannot be overemphasized, given the complexity and time constraints under which construction documents are often produced. Our review benchmarks include: • Documents are comprehensively checked at key milestones and regular intervals. • One person checks all important dimensions, gradients, and utility infrastructure. • The person responsible for the drawings reviews the specifications, and the specifier reviews the drawings. • Regular consultant team meetings are held to review the documents produced by each for coordination • The project Principal reviews all documents before they are issued. • The Client is involved in reviewing plans at regular intervals and approving the construction documents before they are issued for bid. Another integral component in our quality control process is the utilization of our RJM lessons learned checklist.” This checklist contains the learning experiences that we have encountered over 28 years of project development. It is a useful tool that allows us to systematically review our work and that of our consultant team to ensure that we are applying the collaborative experience learned to the benefit of our projects. In addition to our in-house quality control efforts, we are also continually learning and applying the ongoing “lessons learned” from our outside plan check services provided to multiple agencies. This methodical approach to outside projects gives us the unique advantage of reviewing our own plans and specifications with an impartiality that allows for a fresh and unbiased evaluation. Technical Approach Our staff is skilled in the latest Computer-Aided Design (AutoCAD) and InFocus Project Management software to aid in the design and management of projects as well as graphic program to include Sketchup, 3Ds Studio Max, Lumion, Photoshop, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and GIS, in addition to web and digital publishing technology on the ESRI Story Map Platform. Project Approach (continued) City of Cypress • Design for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation | 20 Project Approach (continued) RJM Design Group utilizes digital 3-D modeling for many of our projects from individual site components and solar studies to complete site and terrain modeling. 3-D modeling takes the guesswork out of design process, allowing the visualization of the form, proportion, and scale of site elements as well as site terrain and grading. Fly-through animations create a virtual tour of a site from a bird’s-eye perspective or eye level, allowing views from all angles and perspectives for a richer understanding of potential design ideas. Our in-house 3D modeling team will be applying all of these resources and skills to ensure the development of a clear contextual site relationship of the existing residential and the proposed site improvements for the Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation Project. On Time and On Budget Our firm provides outstanding construction administration and observation that has been gained from decades of on-site practical experience. We can facilitate weekly on-site project meetings and administration of construction related communications. The proof is in the projects we have completed on time and with minimal or no change orders. Our specialization in large, complex public spaces and facilities require very accurate plans, specifications, and estimates, and then watch very carefully as the construction implementation happens. We interpret plans judiciously so that if change orders are warranted, they are fair and appropriate. Construction Cost Management It is important to identify project construction budgets and then adhere to those estimates through comprehensive or “tight” contract documents. We deal primarily in the public bid arena. We understand the importance of thorough and well-coordinated construction documents and specifications. We have a “very” low occurrence of change orders. This is essential to our goal of developing and maintaining long-term relationships with our Clients. We take great pride in our ability to produce accurate PS&E that are comprehensive and reflect the actual bid pricing that exists in the recent public bid environment. We are constantly updating and maintaining our library of unit costs based upon our current public bids. Communications Approach Assigned Project Manager from RJM Design Group for specific project will be the main point of contact with the City. RJM Design group will act as the project lead and main coordinator for all project deliverables. All communications from sub consultants will be conducted through RJM Design Group. Consultants shall participate in meetings to be held at regular intervals during the early phases of the project and then on an as-needed basis thereafter (via video conferencing, email, and telephonic communications) as required to assess progress and provide direction throughout the performance of the services and preparation of the project deliverables. RJM will prepare all meeting agendas for identified scheduled meetings with the City and provide a summary of key issues with action items (meeting notes) discussed at each meeting. The Principal-In-Charge 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. Project Scheduling The project managers of RJM are routinely involved with projects in which the design team may consist of as many as six or more specialty subconsultants. This collaborative team approach requires the use of reliable communication and schedule control tools. As with cost control, schedule control starts with a realistic and accurate definition of the work scope to clearly define the project activities, assign responsibility for each activity, and important milestones. City of Cypress • Design for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation | 21 Project Approach — Arnold Cypress Park Revised Conceptual Plan 2021/11/10Arnold Cypress Park RehabilitationCity of Cypress, CaliforniaPreliminary Conceptual Plan© 1 4 2 8 6 73 5 City of Cypress • Design for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation | 22 Project Approach (continued) SOFTBALL / BASEBALL FIELDS Orange Coast College Baseball Fields | Orange, CA RJM has experience in both synthetic and high end sports turf drainage systems. We have developed fields for local youth league play and even NFL athletes. RESTROOM / CONCESSION BUILDING Esencia Sports Park | Rancho Mission Viejo, CA Central raised restroom concessions are unique to RJM’s sports facility design. This design allows bleachers to be build into the slope eliminating clunky metal bleachers that only serve to block views of surrounding spectators. The raised concourse provides a professional look and feel to the facility. BATTING CAGES Chino Hills Community Park | Chino, CA Unique to RJM’s designs is the integration of batting cages and bullpens adjacent to fields. This provides teams with a warm up area during the game immediately adjacent to the field. Additionally we have provided grouped batting cages for team practices. MULTI-USE COURTS Worthy Park | Huntington Beach, CA RJM is familiar with a multitude of court designs and has implemented multiple courts that are not only multifunctional but are designed to expand with minimal improvements when trends change. Worthy Park Pickleball courts are sized and for both basketball and pickleball. We create a base footprint and then overlay other court elements to support several court uses both now and in the future. 1 2 3 4 City of Cypress • Design for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation | 23 Project Approach (continued) BASKETBALL / VOLLEYBALL COURTS Lake Forest Sports Park | Lake Forest, CA RJM has incorporated basketball into many of our designs often incorporating fire access and other program elements into the thickness of the courts to allow for site access, community gatherings, stages, and other potential park events. PLAYGROUND AREAS Portola Park | Lake Forest, CA Integrating playground areas adjacent to the restroom/ concessions and spectator seating areas allows families with multiple kids to play within proximity of the family. This allows both players on the field or on the playground to be within eyesight of a parent. PICNIC PAVILIONS Florence Joyner Olympaid Park | Mission Viejo, CA Shaded gathering spaces provide for all sorts of community events. RJM can provide prefabricated and custom covered areas integrating both picnic capabilities as well as open play areas. WALKING / JOGGING PATHS Norman P. Murray Community Center | Mission Viejo, CA Many of our park designs incorporate walking paths in a park wide loop. This model allows for walking and jogging exercise through the park. Integrating exercise stations can also be a source of enjoyment for park visitors of all ages to promote health and wellbeing. 5 6 7 8 City of Cypress • Design for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation | 24 Project Approach (continued) SCOPE OF WORK The following approach is intended to communicate how RJM will assist the City of Cypress in finalizing the preliminary plan developed with the community and ultimately prepare complete construction and specification documents for a 14.5 acre community sports park. Tasks and methodology below are based upon our experience with similar projects. In preparation for construction documents, we have assembled a team to thoroughly evaluate all the site elements to develop a realistic preliminary plan with current construction costs estimates. The scenario described is flexible and can be modified to better meet the needs of the City of Cypress based on your feedback. PHASE 1 – PROJECT INITIATION/ PRELIMINARY DESIGN FINALIZATION A. Kick-Off Meeting with the City Project Kick-Off Meeting: Meet with the City to review and clarify the overall objectives for the development of Arnold Cypress Park. Discuss project goals, existing documentation, agency review, budget details and project scheduling. During this review, we shall determine appropriate procedures to promote efficient working relationships and communication among all participants who need to interact with the Consultant Team. The RJM Consultant Team shall prepare meeting notes and action items based on meeting outcomes. B. Document Review Review pertinent base information regarding this project including existing plans and documents, mapping, drainage, utility easements, topography, and other relevant information. Our proposal has assumed the following items will be provided by the City (as available): 1. As Built Information of Existing Facilities, Adjacent Street and Public Facilities. 2. Adjacent Development Plans 3. Title Report 4. Utility infrastructure availability C. Aerial Topographic Survey: Our team will prepare a topographic survey to include one-foot contour intervals to be utilized for the base plan development and ultimately construction documents. The survey information will encompass development of a digital topographic CAD file, field survey verifications, property limits retrieved from city and county records, and a base plan with vertical and horizontal control. D. Field Investigation In coordination with City Staff our team to photo document existing conditions including visual location and condition of topographic survey elements, circulation, existing trees, vegetation, utilities, drainage, irrigation, topography, easements, physical limitations, external influences, adjacent property relationships, infrastructure, walkways, and adjacent roads. City of Cypress • Design for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation | 25 Specifically, our proposal includes the following analysis: 1. Irrigation Availability: Irrigation program analysis for anticipated improvements including potable and reclaimed availability. 2. Electrical Availability: Review existing electrical utility services and size availability. 3. Geotechnical: Investigations including surface reconnaissance, subsurface exploration, obtaining representative soil samples, laboratory testing, review of relevant geotechnical literature, and preparation of a geotechnical report documenting the findings. Subsurface exploration will include: Several borings will be drilled in order to explore the subsurface soil conditions and to obtain soil samples for laboratory testing. The field exploration will consist of the advancement of (13) hollow-stem augered drill holes within the project site reaching depths of 5 to 10 feet below existing grade (or practical refusal), with (1) additional drill hole extended to a depth of 50 feet below existing grade (or practical refusal); 1 full day of drilling at prevailing wage rates has been assumed. We will log all field exploration work and obtain bulk and/or relatively undisturbed soil samples for geotechnical laboratory testing. This will provide soil data for laboratory testing and design of necessary foundation types and pavement sections. The drill holes will be backfilled with native soils. Infiltration testing has been included in this scope, which would be performed over the two days following the exploration drilling. After samples have been reviewed subsequent reporting will developed for the Site Conditions, Seismicity and Geologic Hazards, Foundations and Slabs, Earthwork, Asphalt Pavement / Hardscape, Corrosion, and Infiltration. 4. Architectural: Our team will review the existing structures in preparation for the development of a demolition plan. Emphasis will be on utility infrastructure and placement of new facilities to evaluate cost considerations. 5. Dry Utility Review: Our team will focus on identifying the existing dry utility facilities on Watson St. and Crescent Ave. adjacent to the project site, what impact they have on the schedule and budget. Further assessment will focus on identifying the planned development dry utility requirements that will be required based on the design components. E. Site Analysis/Opportunities & Constraints Exhibits The next task will be to document and map all the existing features of the site including those that will be opportunities and/or constraints to the project. The exhibits will take the form of a photo board, and an illustrative map, that will be used to illustrate the key site issues of the project to community members and City officials. F. Update the Preliminary Conceptual Plan Based upon information obtained through the previous community outreach efforts the City has undertaken and information garnered from City staff, RJM shall prepare a revised conceptual plan at appropriate scale showing spatial relationships for each potential feature/ element. These plans will illustrate the spatial relationships of the site elements, parking considerations, and residential proximity to the park. 1. RJM will meet with City staff to review the revised conceptual plan and incorporate City comments. Project Approach (continued) City of Cypress • Design for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation | 26 2. After City approval of the revised conceptual plan RJM will develop a final conceptual plan. The resulting plans will provide an illustrative for the project site and be the basis for the construction cost estimate. Exhibits highlighting site features will include: i. Preliminary grading and earthwork quantities ii. Schematic layout iii. Parking Analysis iv. Sport Lighting v. Project narrative 3. RJM will meet with city staff to review final conceptual plan and incorporate final City comments. 4. Develop Preliminary Statement of Probable Construction Cost Estimate based on approved final conceptual plan per City direction. 5. Submit Construction Cost Estimate to staff and project committee for review and comment. G. Dedicated Project Website Understanding the public visibility of this project and its proximity to residential areas we propose a project website that will identify the improvements and their visual impacts to the community. RJM will build an ESRI story map website that can be used to collect community feedback, illustrate plans, and share 3D visualizations. Further during construction this site can be used to illustrate construction progress and continue to provide updates to the community. Meetings: (1) Kick-Off Meeting with City (1) Field Investigation with City (1) Site Analysis Review Meeting with City (2) Conceptual Plan Review Meetings with City Deliverables: Preliminary Schedule; Meeting Agenda/Minutes; Auto CAD Topographic Base Plan; Photo Boards of Site Photos /Character Imagery; Site Analysis and Opportunities/ Constraints Exhibit, Geotechnical Report, Utility Availability Report, Refined Preliminary Conceptual Plan including Schematic Layout, Parking Analysis, Sports Lighting, and Preliminary Grading. Preliminary Cost Estimate PHASE 2 – ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS RJM team member Montrose will prepare reports and documents pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the city’s adopted CEQA procedures. Deliverable products will be developed for the Project upon completion of environmental review and evaluation. These deliverables will be produced in cooperation with City personnel and associated state and federal agencies. Specific tasks will include the following: A. Data Gathering Upon notification and notice to proceed, our team will participate an environmental kick-off meeting with City staff to discuss the project specifics. Project Approach (continued) City of Cypress • Design for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation | 27 Our team member Montrose will review additional data for the project area from the City, local, state, and federal agencies, and other sources that may be affected by or have relevance to the project. This information forms a key part of the foundation of the CEQA documents and will be reviewed and incorporated into the analysis. B. Initial Study Based upon early consultation with the City, RJM team member Montrose will prepare an Initial Study (IS) in conformance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15063(c) for the Project. Montrose will evaluate potential significant impact areas in conformance with an approved City environmental checklist; incorporating relevant data from records searches and subsequent technical studies. The IS will contain: • project description • environmental setting • potential environmental impacts and brief explanations to support findings • mitigation measures for any significant effects • consistency with plans and policies • names of parties responsible for preparation The data and conclusion derived from the IS will be reviewed by the City and interested stakeholders to determine the extent and scope of any additional CEQA documentation needed for the project. Our team have identified the following elements of the project that define the type of environmental process that would be required. These elements include: • Reconfiguration of a 14.5-acre sports park site • Four softball fields, batting cages, six pickleball, basketball, volleyball, and a multi-use court • Playground areas, picnicking facilities, exercise stations and associated walking paths • One multi use building, and one restroom/concessions building Given the foregoing we conclude that an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/ MND) is the likely level of review required under CEQA. We anticipate that the following technical studies will need to be prepared as part of the IS/ MND process: 1. Air Quality The project is located within the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB), which is under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Baseline meteorological and air quality data developed through the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will be utilized for the description of existing ambient air quality. Based on data provided by the project applicant, emissions generated during demolition and construction activities will be quantified. A general description of the major phases of each phase and their timing will be required. The air pollutant emissions generated during demolition and construction will be compared to the SCAQMD Regional Thresholds of Significance. Project Approach (continued) City of Cypress • Design for Arnold Cypress Park Rehabilitation | 28 2. Greenhouse Gas Analysis Our Team will prepare an inventory of the greenhouse emissions (GHG) from both direct and indirect sources. The emissions inventory will be quantified with the CalEEMod model. The GHG reduction associated with the project’s design features will be quantified utilizing the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) methodology (Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures – A Resource for Local Government to Assess Emission Reductions from Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures [September 2010]). 3. Traffic Impact Analysis We will prepare a traffic impact analysis to support environmental documentation of the proposed Project. The analysis will provide data to evaluate potential short-term traffic impacts related to the project. Montrose, in consultation with the City, will engage the resource and regulatory agencies and stakeholders 4. Biology Our team will review applicable existing data and conduct desk-top review of the project area. We will prepare a biological memorandum for the Project including review of existing nesting birds and associated terrestrial and aquatic wildlife in accordance with Federal, State and local regulations. 5. Noise Analysis Construction would occur during implementation of the proposed project. Noise impacts from construction sources will be analyzed based on the anticipated equipment to be used, length of a specific construction task, equipment power type (gasoline or diesel engine), horsepower, load factor, and percentage of time in use. The construction noise impacts will be evaluated in terms of maximum levels (Lmax) and hourly equivalent continuous noise levels (Leq) and the frequency of occurrence at adjacent sensitive locations. Ultimately our team will prepare the Administrative Draft IS/MND, using a City-approved CEQA checklist. This document will reflect new site plans, new/revised technical studies, and any additional information gathered during the Research/Investigation. The Administrative Draft IS/MND will be submitted to the City for review and approval. NOTICE OF PREPARATION Montrose will prepare a Notice of Preparation (NOP) for review and approval by the City. Once approved, Montrose will send the NOP to the Office of Planning and Research and distribute the document to other interested/relevant agencies and individuals. Distribution will be based on a City-approved distribution list to be prepared and maintained by Montrose. This task includes certified mailing of up to 25 notices to affected agencies and interested parties. Montrose assumes that posting in the local newspaper and any radius mailing will be provided by the City.
