Proposal For On -Call Water Resources Engineering Services Landscape Architecture From the revitalization of a popular community park to the design and implementation of a downtown streetscape, Kimley-Horn has successfully planned and implemented scores of landscape architecture projects including landscape planting plans, landscape renderings and irrigation system design. We have successfully completed dozens of parks and master plan projects for federal, state, regional, and local government. As metropolitan urban areas continue to grow, urban design, streetscape design, and landscape architecture have become integral components of roadway and transportation system designs and infrastructure improvements in general. Revitalizing commercial districts and providing recreational areas and pedestrian and bicycle facilities in increasingly congested areas are some of the solutions designed by our landscape architects and planners. For our public works projects, we consider drought resistant landscape features and low water usage irrigation systems to help our Clients become more successful in meeting their water conservation goals. Environmental Compliance Kimley-Horn's environmental services team provides complete environmental compliance services for public works projects, including roadway, pedestrian and bicycle trail, traffic, parks, transit, and site development projects. Our environmental specialists are well -versed in all aspects of the environmental process, from Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation and resource agency permitting. We are experienced in taking a project from concept to construction and are the ideal partners to provide environmental compliance services in support of design and construction engineering. Kimley-Horn produces environmental documents that are sensitive to the public's concern for resource protection and community impacts as well as to the real -world issues associated with the cost and feasibility of implementing mitigation programs. Our team draws upon years of experience with public improvement projects to develop understandable documents and to assess project designs that minimize impacts to the natural environment and community. Bidding and Construction Support As an extension of our design projects by Kimley-Horn, our team is equipped with the latest construction management systems and applications available in the industry including responding to RFI's, reviewing shop drawings, and reviewing progress reports. These tools are scalable and customized to best fit the City's project needs and budget, and to integrate with the City's way of doing business. From simple, time -tested forms and procedures to the state-of-the-art in construction management and web -based systems, our team will deliver small and large projects on -time and under budget while keeping the City up to date on a "real-time" basis. In addition to receiving the benefit of our design team's experience, our construction phase personnel can attend pre -construction conferences and regular project meetings, provide review and approval of submittals, and participate in all other activities required to achieve well -coordinated construction of proposed improvements. Plan Check Services p Our team has provided plan checking, peer review, and consultant services for various public agencies to assist them with their plan check needs. Kimley-Horn will utilize the City's in-house plan checklist and plan check documents if available. We will also supplement the City's checklist with our checklist as each project requires. Kimley-Horn has developed a step-by-step plan review criterion so that every improvement plan is reviewed with a consistent checking process. Each development application is thoroughly reviewed, and the required engineering conditions of approval City of Santa Ana ' 1WOC77003.22 Kimley> Horn 1 o
