DISCUSSION
The City Council adopted a comprehensive update to its General Plan on April 19,
2022. The updated General Plan includes significant changes to the use and
development of land reflecting the vision of the community to strategically focus future
growth along five major transit corridors or, as termed by the Plan, Focus Areas. The
five Focus Areas include South Main Street, Grand Avenue/17t" Street, West Santa Ana
Boulevard, 55 Freeway/Dyer Road, and South Bristol Street. The City's General Plan
Land Use Element will redirect growth into the Focus Areas by providing opportunities
for new developments that match the vision and goals expressed by the community and
City Council.
The General Plan contains policies that call for the completion of public realm plans for
the Focus Areas to enhance pedestrian and cyclist experience, amenities, safety, sense
of place, and aesthetics. Policies in the General Plan also call for the establishment of
mechanisms to leverage development enabled by the land use changes in the Focus
Areas to fund the construction of improvements in the public right-of-way to provide a
safe and efficient multimodal transportation system and its maintenance. The Public
Realm Plans, once adopted, will provide a road map that links new development
enabled by the land use changes to the needed physical improvements, infrastructure,

and street design needed to facilitate the advancement and implementation of the
General Plan vision by creating a sense of place, designing for walkability, sustainability
and health, making complete neighborhoods, and acting as a catalyst for continued
development and reinvestment. Lastly, the Public Realm Plans will be environmentally
and economically sustainable, link to previous successes, and connect to funding
mechanisms that will facilitate future growth and development.
Background and Selection
Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 23-011 to solicit services for Public Realm Plans was
advertised on February 21, 2023 on the City's online bid and management publication
system, PlanetBids, inviting qualified consulting firms with relevant experience to submit
their proposals to the City. A summary of RFP vendor participation and results is as
follows:
• Vendors notified: 362
• Vendors based in Santa Ana: 21
• Vendors downloaded the bid packet: 57
• Bids Received: 5
• Bids received from Santa Ana vendors:
Five proposals were submitted by the RFP deadline and all were determined to be
responsive. The City formed a selection committee consisting of staff members from the
City Manager's Office, Planning and Building Agency, Public Works Agency, and
Community Development Agency. The selection committee evaluated the proposals
and interviewed the firms prior to making the final selection. The selected firm, Torti
Gallas + Partners, Inc. (TGP), located in Los Angeles, has a unique approach to
neighborhood design and placemaking among planning firms, which makes them ideally
suited for this effort. Their completed projects have demonstrated the inextricable link
between architecture and urban design and have consistently produced plans that lead
to great neighborhoods. TGP will prepare five (5) public realm plans, technical studies,
and associated environmental documents required under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA).

CITY OF SANTA ANA EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The City of Santa Ana is requesting proposals from consulting firms, or teams of consultants,
for the preparation of five (5) public realm plans, technical studies, and associated
environmental documents required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Tasks and deliverables outlined in this RFP comprise one part of the City's effort to update its
development code and to establish public realm design and development standards for the five
Focus Areas identified in the General Plan. In addition to the tasks and deliverables outlined
in this RFP, the City will release two separate RFPs to solicit services to comprehensively
update its zoning code and for the development of a web -based, three-dimensional
visualization tool, respectively.
Services solicited through this RFP must incorporate feedback received through the
community engagement plan that will be completed through the comprehensive zoning code
update. It is anticipated that the project will take approximately 12-18 months following the
signing of the contract. The selected firm will be expected to complete the contracted scope
of work within the specified time frame. The Santa Ana City Council has allocated monies
through the General Fund to fully fund this project.
Task 1 - Project Outline, Management, and Coordination: Prepare a working outline of
the project, listing the pertinent sections (schedule, outreach measures, and
implementation/glossary) and the scope of their coverage/update. The outline must be
reviewed and approved by City staff.
Deliverables:
1.a: Project outline.
1.b: Monthly project management meetings between consultant and City staff.
1.c: Agenda and meeting summary of monthly meetings.
1.d: Briefing paper summarizing public realm strategies.
Task 2 - Project Commencement: The consultant(s) and City staff will review, refine, and
finalize the work scope and project schedule. This meeting will allow a discussion regarding
the goals of the project, opportunities and constraints, relevant background information and
documents available for review, and development of the outreach program.
Deliverables:
2.a: Kick-off meeting to refine scope of services, outreach program, budget, and project
schedule.
2.b: Agenda and meeting summary for kick-off meeting.
Task 3 - Literature Review: The consultant will review existing public realm plans in the City
to determine if the standards, designs, and implementation mechanisms can be carried over
to new plans. The consultant shall also present current best practices for public real plans from
other comparable jurisdictions to the City for consideration.
Deliverable:
3.a: An audit of all the existing public realm plans with a set of recommendations for how
each respective plan can inform the five new public realm plans and current industry
best practices. The document shall be formatted and presented to staff as a table with
accompanying illustrations as necessary.
Task 4 - Workshops with the Planning Commission, City Council, and other relevant
commission(s) and committee(s) as determined by City staff: The consultant will be
responsible for facilitating workshops with the Planning Commission, City Council, and any
RFP No. 23-011 Focus Area Public Realm Plans Page 4 of 36
7 = l CITY OF SANTA ANA
other relevant commission(s) and committee(s) as determined appropriate by City staff. The
purpose of the workshops is to provide an update of the project, present challenges,
requirements, etc., and to obtain feedback, collaboration, and support.
Deliverables:
4.a: Attendance and materials for one (1) commission(s)/committee(s), as determined
appropriate by staff, subcommittee workshop.
4.b: Attendance and materials for one (1) Planning Commission subcommittee workshop.
4.c: Attendance and materials for one (1) City Council subcommittee workshop.
4.d: Attendance and materials for two (2) workshops with commission(s)/committee(s), as
determined appropriate by staff.
4.e: Attendance and materials for two (2) Planning Commission workshops.
4.f: Attendance and materials for two (2) City Council workshops.
Task 6 - Draft Corridor Plans: With input and direction from the public, City Council, ETAC,
and City staff, the consultant will prepare five (5) public realm plans, one for each of the Focus
Areas included in the General Plan. Each public realm plan is to include objective design and
development standards, implementation mechanism, and any technical studies needed to
establish a funding and maintenance program.
The draft plans will be discussed with ETAC, Planning and Building Agency, and other City
staff. They shall also be presented and prepared for the general public for review and
comment. The public realm plans will be reviewed and prepared to reflect the work program,
public input received, and direction from public officials. Taking into account the comments
received concerning the draft corridor plans, the consultant will prepare revised drafts. The
same review mechanisms applicable to the first draft will be utilized for the revised drafts.
Deliverables:
5.a: Draft public realm plans for each of the five (5) focus areas in Microsoft Word and PDF.
5.b: Two copies of revised draft public realm plans for each of the five (5) focus areas in

5.d: GIS shapefiles for all mapping to be included as applicable.
Task 6 - CEQA Compliance: Preparation of any environmental document deemed necessary
pursuant CEQA, and preparation of Responses to Comments received during any public
comment period. Contract augmentation for "excessive" numbers of responses is not typically
considered by the City. Therefore, the proposal should be conservative in this regard. The
consultant shall also prepare any other written responses to letters or verbal comments
received during the preparation and processing of environmental document (as deemed
necessary by City).
Task 7 - Public Hearing: Staff is requesting that at least two (2) public hearings with the
