This effort is the next logical step to build upon the foundation of work that has already been done by Paul Zucker in his development of the Main Street Specific Plan. The focus of this new effort is to plan for physical design improvements that could be made within the downtown area and to create a strong linkage between the downtown core, the Seal Beach pier, and the parking areas on the community's waterfront to make the area work as a cohesive whole. In view of the substantial public outreach that has already been conducted as part of the earlier planning effort, it is understood that an intense program of public outreach and involvement is not necessary in the preparation of these plans. However, it will be necessary to involve the merchants and landowners in the downtown area, and the citizens at large, in considering and reviewing the conceptual plans. It is our understanding that the first phase of work that needs to be done includes the following: 1. Evaluate the feasibility of restoring the existing City Hall public restrooms and the public restrooms below the pier (where they are today) versus constructing new restrooms as part of pier plaza improvements. 2. Upon receiving direction on how to proceed with the restrooms, prepare construction documents that will be used for bidding and construction of the restrooms. 3. Prepare up to two physical design plans for different plaza treatments that might be explored at the foot of the pier that would create strong linkages between the surface parking lots below the pier to the downtown core north of the pier. • • Seal Beach Main Street Public Improvements Program Preliminary Scope of Services November 12, 1996 Page 2 4. Generate specific proposals and physical design features to tie the pier together with the entire three (3) block downtown area that stretches to Pacific Coast Highway. Based on this understanding of the project, the team of RRM Design Group and Richard Best, AIA, has been assembled to conduct the following tasks: • RRM Design Group will be the primary consultant and be responsible for overall project management and oversight of work products. RRM's primary responsibility would be to prepare the conceptual plans, coordinate with stakeholders in the downtown area in the review of those plans, coordinate with City staff and City decision-makers in the review of those plans, and finalizing and processing a downtown concept plan through local approvals. RRM is also prepared to offer its services on construction documents for landscape architecture and civil engineering for either the pier plaza improvements or other concept designs for the downtown, or both. We are also prepared to offer our assistance in identifying and/or obtaining potential funding sources (other than municipal) to augment the City's budget to pursue these projects to completion. • Richard Best, AIA has been brought onto the team as the project architect. Under RRM Design Group's direction, he will evaluate the feasibility of restoring versus relocating the restrooms and preparing construction documents for the restrooms once the design has been made by the community for the Pier and City Hall restroom .}- locations.
