A. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The scope of work contained herein is based on the Request for Proposal for the Emerson Park Amenity
Upgrades and Beautification project for the City of San Luis Obispo. This project includes the design of a ½
acre dog park, prefabricated self‐cleaning restroom, drought tolerant landscaping, shade structures,
bocce court renovation and/or relocation, renovation and expansion of existing basketball courts, new
playgrounds for both the 2‐5 and 5‐12 age groups, replacement of existing perimeter fencing,

services; an Electrical Engineer will provide design of court and site lighting sufficient for night time use as
well as power to the prefabricated restroom building; and a Structural Engineer will provide direction for
footing design for the restroom foundation, light fixtures, and shade structures. An allowance for an
Arborist, who will survey all trees in the area of work and provide guidance in relation to tree disposition
and potential construction impacts, has been included as an optional service.

The proposed structures are to be located throughout Emerson Park. The site is generally level, sloping
gradually downward to the southwest. This area is mapped as being underlain by Surficial Sediments (Qa).
Geotechnical information is requested for design and construction of foundations for the proposed
structures..
3.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
Based on our understanding of the project needs we propose the following scope of services.
3.1 Field Investigation
The proposed field
investigation will consist of
advancing five exploratory
borings to a maximum depth
of 15 feet (bgs). Anticipated
exploration locations are
provided in Figure 2:
Proposed Exploration Plan.
Actual exploration locations
will be based on drill rig
access, utility clearance, and
our understanding of the
project needs.
The explorations will be used
to determine the general site
suitability for the proposed
construction. The Project
Engineer will observe the
boring operations and record
the sub-surface soils and/or
bedrock conditions in Boring
Logs. During the field
investigation, sampling will
be performed at approximate
2.5 to 5.0-foot intervals. Bulk
and relatively undisturbed
soil/bedrock samples will be obtained in the field for classification and laboratory testing. The exploratory
borings will be backfilled, but not compacted, with on-site material.
Repair of damaged landscape will not be the responsibility of GeoSolutions, Inc. Prior to the field
investigation, pertinent published and unpublished geotechnical studies and literature of the subject project
area will be reviewed under the direction of the Project Engineer. A predrill site visit will be performed in
order to coordinate proposed exploration locations with the project team and/or mark for utility clearance
(USA Dig Alert). We assume no site access restrictions apply for our field investigation and that no permits
are required for our fieldwork.

Re: Proposal to Provide Civil and Structural Engineering Services
for Emerson Park Amenity Upgrades and Beautification
MME Project No: 22162
Dear Christian,
Thank you for asking MME to provide your engineering services, accordingly we have
prepared the following proposal for your review. We have over 30 years of local civil
and structural engineering experience and look forward to working with you.
Project Understanding
This project consists of the rehabilitation and improvement of the existing amenities at
Emerson Park in San Luis Obispo, California. These improvements primarily include a
new fully accessible pre-fabricated public restroom, improvements to the dog park,
relocated bocce courts, expanded basketball court, new playground, new fencing,
improved solar safety lighting, site lighting, fencing, and (3) new shade structures at
the dog park, playground, and exercise equipment. We understand that a major goal
of the project is to utilize rain barrels to collect storm water for use at the community
garden.
We anticipate that the added and replaced impervious area for this project will be less
than 22,500 SF. With the added/replaced impervious areas greater than 15,000 SF
and less than 22,500 SF, the project will need to provide performance requirements 1,
2, & 3 in accordance with the City of San Luis Obispo’s Adopted Post Construction
Requirements (Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board), dated July 12,
2013. These requirements include site design and runoff reduction, water quality
treatment, and runoff retention.
We understand that the project is being funded by Proposition 68 State Parks grant
funding and will therefore need to comply with recent Prop 68 requirements. The
approximate project budget is $2.8 million.
Our work will generally include the civil engineering (CE) services to prepare
construction documents including plans, specifications and estimates for use in
competitive bidding and construction of this project.

observations made during a visit to the site, and discussions with you. Based on this
information, we intend to provide the following services:
Design Phase Services
Phase One – Conceptual Design
1. Participate in correspondence with you and members of the design team as
may be required to accomplish the tasks identified during this phase.
2. Prepare a topographic field survey of the site to provide a base map for design.
Contact utilities companies to request maps of utilities in the project area and
surrounding streets. We will survey ground features such as fences, slopes,
pavements, building corners, driveways, major trees, and visible improvements
or utilities at ground level. We will prepare a topographic map at about 10 scale
with 2’ contours and elevations of ground features deliverable in AutoCAD and
PDF. Survey will be an Engineering Survey based on local assumed datum
and basis of bearings and will not be a Boundary Survey and will not include
historical research, deeds, easements, legal descriptions, reconciliation of
maps, filing records of survey, setting corners or determining property
boundaries.
Develop a scope of services and subcontract to provide underground utility
location markings at the site and surrounding street (see Figure 1).

1. Participate in correspondence with you and members of the design team as
may be required to accomplish the tasks identified during this phase.
2. Participate in a pre-construction meeting to answer questions about design
intent or about interpretation of the documents prior to work at the site.
3. Prepare and issue bulletins in response to RFI’s during construction, if needed,
for clarification of our drawings or specifications.
4. Review submittals and shop drawings, submitted through and checked by the
General Contractor, for general compliance with the intent and requirements of
our Construction Documents. Re-review of any submittals more than two
resubmittals would be considered Additional Services.
5. Provide the administrative support necessary for us to perform these services.
Additional Services
Additional Services are those items which are not specifically mentioned under the
scope of proposed Design Phase services outlined above and/or those items which
Proposal for Emerson Park
MME Project No: 22162
January 11, 2023
Page 5 of 7
arise as a result of unforeseen circumstances during the design or construction
phases of the project. Any Additional Services and compensation shall be authorized
by the Client in advance and in writing or acknowleged and confirmed by email.
Because the remodeling and/or rehabilitation of an existing building or infrastructure
requires that certain assumptions be made regarding existing conditions, all the
construction details can seldom be precisely shown on the drawings before the work of
construction begins. Therefore, unforeseen field conditions will generate a certain
amount of Additional Services work and expense due to no fault of anyone and we
recommend the Owner carry a bigger contingency for additional design fee and
additional construction cost to address unknown existing conditions.
The following is a partial list of work excluded from this scope of services: Existing
Underground Utility Location, Irrigation, Geotechnical Engineering, Caltrans
Encroachment Permits, Environmental Assessments or Permits, Hazardous Materials
Services, Architecture or Waterproofing, Mechanical, Electrical or Traffic Engineering,
Pumps and Hydromodification Analysis, FEMA studies, Arborists Reports, Tree
Protection Plans, Traffic Control Plan, Construction Staging Plans, SWPPP, Signalized
Intersections and Crosswalks, Bid Alternates, Value Engineering, Construction
Inspection, Front End Specifications, Expedited Schedule, Demolition Plans and
Construction Contracts.
Deliverables
At the following points in the design process, we will furnish the following deliverables
to you for your use, review and comment:
Topographic Survey – AutoCAD format and PDF format
Schematic Design 50% – Two conceptual plans, one set of plans (with selected
alternative), and cost estimate in electronic PDF format
Design Development 90% – One set of plans, one cost estimate, and one
