SCOPE OF SERVICES

SCOPE OF SERVICES
The following represents our understanding of the scope of work for this project:
PROJECT APPROACH
Upon the award of the contract we will immediately schedule a workshop to allow for team
members', staff and community involvement. The workshop will be used as a forum to expand
upon design concepts that have been discovered in the initial project research,discussions with
City's stall', with our own design ideas and site evaluation studies. Our role will be one of
filtering through the many different thoughts expressed and creating a preliminary design that
echo's a consensus of all the parties. The information gleaned from this workshop will be
worked into possible solutions for the design layout of the park. In keeping with our "Team
Approach" we will stay in close communication with the City staff and the various agencies
involved, encouraging participation in the design procedure. In the design process it is
imperative that this interaction takes place in order to create a truly integrated project.
SITE ANALYSIS
1. Prior to holding the initial workshop we will visit the site to gather information regarding
the characteristics of the site. We will analyze the opportunities and constraints of each

adjacent properties, topography, existing vegetation, views, uses, accessibility,
infrastructure and surrounding uses.
2. We will prepare a project base map from existing GIS data It is understood that a formal
site survey will not be completed at this time.
3. We will review the existing plans prepared by other design teams to determine what the
thought process has been. We understand that there has been much effort over the course
of many years to develop this site. We feel that it is important to respect this effort and
prepare a plan that incorporates,at the very minimum,the spirit of these efforts.
PRELIMIlYARY DESIGN PLAN
1. After the initial meeting with the Project Team members, STB will prepare three
preliminary concept plans for review and evaluation. The preliminary designs will
conceptually indicate all the proposed landscape design elements within the project area.
Scope of improvements are anticipated,but not limited,to be:
a Amphitheater for approximately 100 users.
