RE: Marina Park Expansion Grant Submission
Professional Services Proposal /Agreement
City of Seal Beach, California
.Dear Mr. Crumby:
It is Carrier Johnson + Culture's pleasure to present this proposal for professional
services to the City of Seal Beach for planning and preparation for an expansion of
Marina Park for a Round 2 grant application to the Statewide Parks Program (SPP)
offered by the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation and administrated
by its Office of Grants and Local Services on the above referenced project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Seal Beach is considering purchasing a 3.75 acre site, parcel APN is 199 -01-
10, from Chevron for expansion of the current Marina Park at the corner of Marina Drive
and First Street. The site will be studied to benefit the community with a 50 meter indoor
competition pool, a children's recreational pool, required parking or other amenities
supported by the community.
ASSUMPTIONS
Application Process for SPP:
1. The SPP is a competitive grant program, the intent of which is to create new
recreation opportunities in critically underserved neighborhoods for the needs of
families, youth, and senior citizens, with added competitive points given to those
areas with the lowest family incomes and the most families living at or under the
poverty line. The key document for planning and preparation will be the SPP
Application Guide dated April 1, 2009.
2. The SPP has two funding rounds. The deadline for Round 1 was March 1, 2010
and those applications are now being processed. Round 2 of this program will
provide $184 million in grant awards. Grants of up to $5 million — the largest limit

• •
Mr. Sean Crumby 1,
CITY OF SEAL BEACH carrierjohnson + CIJLTUR3
September 22, 2010 architecture + environments + brand strategy + graphics

in Park Department history — may be requested for acquisition and development
of park land and recreation facilities. No matching funds are required. The
announcement of the deadline for Round 2 applications is expected in
September or October, after Round 1 grants are awarded, and will be timed to
fall six months from the date of that announcement.
3. Based on Team's experience in the preparation of multiple Round 1 applications
to the SPP, it is clear that successful applications require an intensive community
planning effort which can take between five and seven months to complete.
Getting that effort underway now is not too early.
Community Based Planning Meetings:
• 1. Community planning accounts for 18 of 100 points in the competitive process.
The Team will work proactively and collaboratively with the City personnel to
design the best possible Community Based Planning effort. To capture the full
• 18 points under competitive Criterion #4, the City must mount a series of five or
more community meetings, of which two must occur during the evening or on
weekends. Three or more methods must be used to invite community residents
to the five meetings to assure the broadest and most diverse possible
representation. Completing those steps in that manner assures that up to 8 of
the 18 points can be captured.
2. Capturing the other 10 points requires that the meetings be conducted in such a
way that three stated Goals are achieved. Goal 1 is that residents are able to
identify their preferred recreation features in a "blank slate" manner, where their
choices are not limited to pre- determined choices. Goal 2 is for residents to
provide location preferences for those recreation features, and why they prefer
those locations. Goal 3 is for residents to provide ideas for the safe use and
beautification of the facilities.
Proposed Site Information: •
1. The City does enter into a purchase agreement with the current land owner of
APN 199- 01 -10.
2. The City has the resources to fund both the land purchase and the project costs
not covered by the Grant funding.
3. The Team's initial environmental research into public records and historical aerial
photos indicated nothing for that location based on the APN199- 01 -10; however
aerial photos show that there were tanks present up until 1994 or so (gone by
2002). There is an oil separation facility that is indicated in reports with an
address of 101 Marina Drive, which seems to be the site, but it is not listed on
DTSC's Envirostar database (online).

Mr. Sean Crumby
CITY OF SEAL BEACH carrierjohnson + CULTUR3
September 22, 2010 architecture + environments + brand strategy + graphics
Page 3 of 10
4. The City will confirm with the Owner of the property and City records if the 101
. Marina Drive address in the DTSC's Envirostar Database is correct.
5. The City will request and, if obtainable, provide any property documentation in
the City or County files or from the Owner of the property, which will include
current site surveys with utilities, easements, setbacks and grades; any Phase!
and II environmental site assessments and; reports or certifications of cleanup
activities after property was vacated from its former use.
6. The City will have a consultant update and /or verify any of the existing property
reports.
7. The Design Team can provide the City the resources or suggested Consultants
that can provide the updates to existing reports or perform the studies, surveys,
record search and reports if none can be obtained.
8. The City will get permission to do exploratory borings and have a new
Environmental Phase land 11 reports prepared.
9. This proposal assumes that the environmental investigations, either provided by
the land owner, the City or as part of this proposal, will provide feasible
recommendations for any needed remediation.
10. Due to the adjacency of the new land purchase to the existing Marina Park, the
project will be defined as an expansion of the existing Marina Park. Also, part of
the existing Park is actually part of the land being purchased. It would be helpful
to know if the City has a shared use agreement with the property Owner.
Park Design Assumptions:
1. Even though it is unknown at this time what will come from the five Community
input meetings required by the Grant submission, we have included the following
park elements to help quantify the Design Team's amount of effort:
2. The 3.75 acres of land owned by Chevron is adjacent to the City's Marina Park
and approximately 1 acre of the existing City Park land is actually part of the 3.75
acres owned by Chevron, therefore, once the project is complete, the Marina
Park will be approximately 4.75 acres and the Design Team will view the whole
4.75 acres as the project. It's unknown at this time whether there will be
proposed changes to the current 2 acre Marina Park.
3. The possible uses for the expanded park may be a 50 meter competition pool, a
children's recreation pool, an enclosure building for the pool(s); a pool support
facility that may include offices, equipment rooms, storage, restrooms, showers,
lockers and community room; basketball, half soccer field and parking to support
the functions of the park.
