liability of Consultant, its employees, subcontractors and agents for the accuracy

Re: Proposal for Landscape Architectural Design Services
Heather Park Play Area Improvements
Dear Iris:

R M GROUP
Li
Thank you for the opportunity to submit a proposal for conceptual design services for the
Heather Park play area renovation. As discussed, our proposal has outlined that scope of
work to provide for two (2) alternatives for the .City's review and consideration. Both
alternatives will provide for a newly renovated play area as well as adjacent exercise stations
within the park. Our goal with this initial effort is to provide 2 options for the City's
consideration with related costs for each - to enable 1 of the 2 schemes to be selected for
further development. Upon completion of schematic design, we would be happy to discuss
moving forward into preparation of Construction Documents.
As you review, please let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to helping you
and the City of Seal Beach in a manner which best serves the community.
Sincerely,
RJM DESIGN GROUP,
Landscape Architect

HEATHER PARK - PLAY AREA RENOVATIONS
SCOPE OF WORK
In collaboration with City staff, our goal is to provide you with two (2) Conceptual Design
Plans to renovate the existing play area, as well as provide for adjacent seating and nearby
exercise stations. A Cost Estimate will be provided for each Conceptual Plan.
SCHEMATIC DESIGN
1. Review City provided background information for the park site. This information
should include any previous studies which may impact the design alternative, 'as-
builts' of existing conditions, etc.
2. Provide field topographic survey for the project area. This survey will be referenced
to existing benchmarks and will provide for a scalable site survey indicating existing
structures, fences, walls, paving, 1' contours, tree massings, etc. We have assumed
that the City will be able to provide a title report for the park - which will allow our
surveyor to scribe adjacent property lines and easements which may affect the
designs.
3. Utilizing the site survey, prepare project area base sheets for the project area.
4. Conduct site visit to review base sheet information and compare to the existing
conditions, including existing playground equipment locations, walkways, curbs,
trees, vegetation, fencing, topography, existing electrical improvements, and
adjacent off-site relationships.
5. Working in conjunction with a preferred playground equipment supplier we shall
prepare two (2) schematic design plans illustrating alternative design solutions. It
is assumed that Landscape Structures will be used the preferred supplier. One of
these two options will provide for updated play equipment, modified limits of play
area, bench seating, walkway lighting and adjacent exercise equipment. The second
of the two alternatives will illustrate slightly more expansive scope - including
shade structures, larger play area, etc.
6. Review the two alternatives with City staff.
7. Provide one (1) revision to each plan per City comments.
8. A virtual.'walk-through' will be prepared for each of the two alternatives to assist in
the visualization of each design.
9. Prepare a preliminary cost estimate for each of the two alternatives.
10. Prepare for and attend virtual meeting with City staff to review the conceptual
playground area plans and virtual 'walk-throughs' and cost estimates.
