Thanks Erica. Just to clarify, did you add anything to the status report doc itself? I don’t mind filling it out, but just didn’t
want to duplicate anything that you already captured. (the attached version was blank).
I will start managing reimbursements next week.

Hi Brendan,
Thank you for following up. I have processed the two attached invoices for this project for total expenditures of
$31,473.53. I just processed the latest invoice this week, and I am not sure if both invoices should show up under
‘invoices’ in Oracle. This project is currently on time and on budget. It should be completed in the last quarter of 2024.
We had a kickoff meeting in March 2023 with the consultant, SSA Landscape Architects, who the City hired for design
and construction documents for the project. Surveying is done, the geotechnical investigation started last week, and
the consultant is finishing up the initial concept layouts.
I don’t have any photos of work completed. I will start cc’ing you when I process the invoices. It would be great if you
could start requesting reimbursement.
Please let me know if you need any other information.

Status Report
Grantee: City of San Luis Obispo
Project Number: SW-40-002 2018 Parks Bond Act, Statewide Park Development and Community
Revitalization
Project Name: Emerson Neighborhood Park Revitalization
Project Scope: Renovate Emmerson Park in the City of San Luis Obispo. Construct a dog park with
lighting and shade, playground (5-12 yo) with shade, shade existing exercise equipment, solar pathway
lighting, educational garden, public art mural, public art mosaic, and restroom with solar roof.
Renovate bocce ball courts, basketball/multi-purpose court, blacktop, decorative perimeter fencing,
and landscaping throughout the park.
These project deliverables must be completed before the final grant payment can be approved. They were established by
your agency’s response to the Project Selection Criteria, which was ranked against all statewide applications through an
extremely competitive process. The integrity of the statewide competitive process is maintained by completing these
project deliverables.
Required Project Deliverables:
Design of Recreation Features:
• Educational garden
• Restroom
• Lit dog park
• Shade structures
• Drought resistant/low cost landscaping
• Hydration stations (including one for dogs)
• Updated perimeter fencing
• Expansion/renovation of the playground
• Multi-purpose court with lighting
Location of Features in the Park:
• Restroom location near the playground
• The shade structures were chosen to be placed near the dog park, the playground, and exercise
equipment.
• The dog park was identified to be located on the opposite section of the park from the playground as an
additional safety measure.
• Bocce courts moved adjacent to the exercise equipment shade structure.
Safe Public Use:
• Safety path lighting will be installed around the restroom, and along main pathways and lighting will be
added to the multi-purpose court and dog park.
• The public wanted updated perimeter fencing
Park Beautification/Public Art:
• Educational garden
• Drought tolerant landscaping
• Art installation on restroom and black top mural
• Neighborhood youth participation in designing art mosaic tiles to incorporate into concrete surfaces and
benches
• Colorful and artistic shaped shade structures.
3
• Artistic dog park equipment.
Employment or volunteer opportunities to be included in the project are:
• There will be an opportunity for residents and/or corps members to help with renovating the current
landscaping at the park through the planting of drought tolerant plants, and dog park fencing.
• Public Art is to be installed at the park (mural on restroom and black top). In addition to community
youth work in designing mosaic tiles incorporated in concrete surfaces.
Partnerships for the project’s design or construction will include:
• San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden - will assist with designing and implementing the new children’s
educational gardens and determine the appropriate drought resistant plants to be included. They will help
oversee the installation of the garden. All work will be on a volunteer basis.
• Arts Council - will coordinate the public art for the park which includes a mural on the restroom and
blacktop. All work will be on a volunteer basis.
• County of San Luis Obispo Public Health Department - will help design the renovated fitness equipment
area. County is contributing staff hours to the project.
• Friends of SLO City Dog Parks - The members of the community organization will assist with building
the Dog Park and donating specific features/amenities.
The project will include these sustainable techniques:
• Bio-Swales/Grading - In constructing the new restrooms, stormwater will be captured for infiltration or
irrigation, where applicable, through the use of bio-swales, grading, and rain barrels. Permeable material will
be used for children’s garden pathways. The design incorporates rain barrels for stormwater runoff from the
restrooms to use in watering landscaping and garden areas. In addition a bio-swale will be built near the dog
park to capture storm water.
•Water efficient irrigation system - The park already incorporates sustainable landscape and irrigation features
(Calsense, flow sensing, ET technology and rain sensors). The revitalization activities will augment current
features and update irrigation to switch sprinklers and MP rotator sprinklers to provide more water/energy
efficient irrigation.
• Recycled Materials - Project will use recycled materials for the ground covering present in the dog park,
community and educational gardens.
• Use of drought tolerant/climate appropriate non-invasive native turf, shrubs, plants and ground cover -
The gardens and general landscaping of the park will include drought tolerant plants. Invasive species will not
be used in the park. Fertilizer is only applied for turf renovation, which happens once a year, and the turf area
is closed for public use at that time.
• Safety Path Solar Lighting - Utilizing solar energy for foot lighting.
• Additional hydration station - The project will include a new hydration station adjacent to the new
restroom and the existing water fountain at the park will be updated to a hydration station. These hydration
stations will provide safe reliable drinking water to visitors and allow them to fill their own bottle, so they can
stay hydrated throughout the park.
• Additional compost bin in Educational Children’s Garden - Establish an additional bin in the educational
children’s garden.
• Solar Panel Installation - Solar panels will be installed on top of the restrooms.
• Water Runoff Collection - Water barrel near restrooms to collect rain water runoff.
• Reduced natural Turf - Reduced fertilizer and irrigation needs
• Additional Buffer/Landscape Strip - Bio swale creation through additional buffer/landscape strip.

ATTENTION: Kevin Glaudel
Status Report
Grantee: City of San Luis Obispo
Project Number: SW-40-002 2018 Parks Bond Act, Statewide Park Development and Community
Revitalization
Project Name: Emerson Neighborhood Park Revitalization
Project Scope: Renovate Emmerson Park in the City of San Luis Obispo. Construct a dog park with
lighting and shade, playground (5-12 yo) with shade, shade existing exercise equipment, solar pathway
lighting, educational garden, public art mural, public art mosaic, and restroom with solar roof.
Renovate bocce ball courts, basketball/multi-purpose court, blacktop, decorative perimeter fencing,
and landscaping throughout the park.
These project deliverables must be completed before the final grant payment can be approved. They were established by
your agency’s response to the Project Selection Criteria, which was ranked against all statewide applications through an
extremely competitive process. The integrity of the statewide competitive process is maintained by completing these
project deliverables.
Required Project Deliverables:
Design of Recreation Features:
• Educational garden
• Restroom
• Lit dog park
• Shade structures
• Drought resistant/low cost landscaping
• Hydration stations (including one for dogs)
• Updated perimeter fencing
• Expansion/renovation of the playground
• Multi-purpose court with lighting
Location of Features in the Park:
• Restroom location near the playground
• The shade structures were chosen to be placed near the dog park, the playground, and exercise
equipment.
• The dog park was identified to be located on the opposite section of the park from the playground as an
additional safety measure.
• Bocce courts moved adjacent to the exercise equipment shade structure.
Safe Public Use:
• Safety path lighting will be installed around the restroom, and along main pathways and lighting will be
added to the multi-purpose court and dog park.
• The public wanted updated perimeter fencing
Park Beautification/Public Art:
• Educational garden
• Drought tolerant landscaping
• Art installation on restroom and black top mural
• Neighborhood youth participation in designing art mosaic tiles to incorporate into concrete surfaces and
benches
• Colorful and artistic shaped shade structures.
3
• Artistic dog park equipment.
Employment or volunteer opportunities to be included in the project are:
• There will be an opportunity for residents and/or corps members to help with renovating the current
landscaping at the park through the planting of drought tolerant plants, and dog park fencing.
• Public Art is to be installed at the park (mural on restroom and black top). In addition to community
youth work in designing mosaic tiles incorporated in concrete surfaces.
Partnerships for the project’s design or construction will include:
• San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden - will assist with designing and implementing the new children’s
educational gardens and determine the appropriate drought resistant plants to be included. They will help
oversee the installation of the garden. All work will be on a volunteer basis.
• Arts Council - will coordinate the public art for the park which includes a mural on the restroom and
blacktop. All work will be on a volunteer basis.
• County of San Luis Obispo Public Health Department - will help design the renovated fitness equipment
area. County is contributing staff hours to the project.
• Friends of SLO City Dog Parks - The members of the community organization will assist with building
the Dog Park and donating specific features/amenities.
The project will include these sustainable techniques:
• Bio-Swales/Grading - In constructing the new restrooms, stormwater will be captured for infiltration or
irrigation, where applicable, through the use of bio-swales, grading, and rain barrels. Permeable material will
be used for children’s garden pathways. The design incorporates rain barrels for stormwater runoff from the
restrooms to use in watering landscaping and garden areas. In addition a bio-swale will be built near the dog
park to capture storm water.
•Water efficient irrigation system - The park already incorporates sustainable landscape and irrigation features
(Calsense, flow sensing, ET technology and rain sensors). The revitalization activities will augment current
features and update irrigation to switch sprinklers and MP rotator sprinklers to provide more water/energy
efficient irrigation.
• Recycled Materials - Project will use recycled materials for the ground covering present in the dog park,
community and educational gardens.
• Use of drought tolerant/climate appropriate non-invasive native turf, shrubs, plants and ground cover -
The gardens and general landscaping of the park will include drought tolerant plants. Invasive species will not
be used in the park. Fertilizer is only applied for turf renovation, which happens once a year, and the turf area
is closed for public use at that time.
• Safety Path Solar Lighting - Utilizing solar energy for foot lighting.
• Additional hydration station - The project will include a new hydration station adjacent to the new
restroom and the existing water fountain at the park will be updated to a hydration station. These hydration
stations will provide safe reliable drinking water to visitors and allow them to fill their own bottle, so they can
stay hydrated throughout the park.
• Additional compost bin in Educational Children’s Garden - Establish an additional bin in the educational
children’s garden.
• Solar Panel Installation - Solar panels will be installed on top of the restrooms.
• Water Runoff Collection - Water barrel near restrooms to collect rain water runoff.
• Reduced natural Turf - Reduced fertilizer and irrigation needs
• Additional Buffer/Landscape Strip - Bio swale creation through additional buffer/landscape strip.

legislation applicable to the ACT, (c) this CONTRACT as well as any other grant
contracts, specified or general, that GRANTEE has entered into with STATE, may
be cause for suspension of all obligations of the STATE unless the STATE
determines that such failure was due to no fault of the GRANTEE. In such case,
STATE may reimburse GRANTEE for eligible costs properly incurred in
performance of this CONTRACT despite non-performance of the GRANTEE. To
qualify for such reimbursement, GRANTEE agrees to mitigate its losses to the best
of its ability.
4. Any breach of any term, provision, obligation or requirement of this CONTRACT by
the GRANTEE shall be a default of this CONTRACT. In the case of any default by
GRANTEE, STATE shall be entitled to all remedies available under law and equity,
including but not limited to: a) Specific Performance; b) Return of all GRANT
MONIES; c) Payment to the STATE of the fair market value of the project property
or the actual sales price, whichever is higher; and d) Payment to the STATE of the
costs of enforcement of this CONTRACT, including but not limited to court and
arbitration costs, fees, expenses of litigation, and reasonable attorney fees.

3. The GRANTEE agrees that in the event the STATE is named as codefendant
under the provisions of California Government Code Section 895 et seq., the

litigation costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney fees.
4. The GRANTEE and the STATE agree that in the event of judgment entered against
the STATE and the GRANTEE because of the concurrent negligence of the STATE

mitigation, nor does it waive the STATE’S rights to enforce performance under
the Grant CONTRACT.

Deed Restriction
The Deed Restriction restricts the title to the property, safeguarding the property for purposes consistent
with the GRANT for the duration of the CONTRACT PERFORMANCE PERIOD.
If the GRANTEE owns the PROJECT land, a Deed Restriction must be recorded on the title to the property
before OGALS will approve any grant payments except an advance into escrow. A Deed Restriction is not
required if the GRANTEE does not own the PROJECT land, such as where the GRANTEE is improving
property it has access to under a lease agreement.
Deed Restriction Instructions
Before filing the Deed Restriction, the GRANTEE must own the PROJECT land, and have an encumbered
CONTRACT for the GRANT amount.
The PROJECT OFFICER will send the Deed Restriction to the GRANTEE. Do not alter the Deed
Restriction. The GRANTEE takes the following steps:
1. Add ownership information to Paragraph I of the Deed Restriction: [formal name of GRANTEE] Insert
ownership information as it appears on the deed.
2. Create 3 copies (GRANTEE copy, OGALS cop y and recorder’s copy) of the Deed restriction and the
required attachments:
Exhibit A: Label this attachment “Exhibit A (Legal Description of Property)” and include a formal legal
description of every parcel of property to which grant funds will be used for the development and/or
acquisition thereof. This information can be obtained from the grant deed or title policy. (The assessor’s
parcel number or a street address is NOT a valid legal description.) and,
Exhibit B: Label this attachment “Exhibit B (Grant CONTRACT)” and include a complete copy of the
Grant CONTRACT and provisions signed by the AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE and the State of
California.
3. Notarize it: Take 3 copies of the following documents to a notary. OGALS recommends submitting
these documents to the PROJECT OFFICER for review prior to notarizing.
Unsigned and undated Deed Restriction
Exhibit A (Legal Description of Property)
Exhibit B (Grant CONTRACT)
The AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE dates and signs the Deed Restriction signature page in th e
presence of a notary. The notary will complete a Notary Acknowledgement (Civil Code §1189).
4. Record it: Take 3 copies of the notarized documents bulleted above to the County Recorder’s Office of
the county in which the property is located. Ask the County Clerk to record the Deed Restriction with
Notary Acknowledgement, Exhibit A, and Exhibit B, on the title to the property.

B to the OGALS Project Officer.

Brendan,
I’ve added Megan into the conversation. Stay away from Monday and Tuesday next week as it is a Council week.
Otherwise, take a look at our calendars. I’m available through Thursday this week most of each day. However, next

Hi Kevin,
Hope you’re having a great week!
I wanted to touch base on the best protocol for scheduling notary services (see pdf). For our CA State Park grant for
the Emerson Park project, we are required to add a deed restriction to our deed, and the deed restriction is required to
be notarized before going to the County Clerk Recorder’s office.
In the case of the “Authorized Representative” that would be Shelly based on the project.
I know I need to send my request to cityclerk@slocity.org, but before doing that and before involving Shelly, I wanted
to figure out what might be the best time slots for you or Megan to do this in the next week or so that I can suggest
times.
Please let me know.
Thanks,

Craig-
Thank you for reaching out and I truly appreciate your message. As you know, Paul McCreary and I were very close
and grew up together as lifeguards and then within our professional careers. When he first let me know he was with
Management Partners (bakertilly) and was going to be working with the City of SLO I was very excited. He informed
me that you would be his partner in the process and stated that you would be an amazing asset and no matter what
occurred with Paul, that the City would be in great hands with you. He wasn’t wrong (seldom was!!).
Thank you for all the advice, recommendations, and professional viewpoints to help us with forecasting the best
approach for the variety of projects for the Parks and Recreation Department. As I communicated to you previously,
all the projects that you were assisting with are now in motion at some degree from initiating community outreach to
construction design docs!
- Laguna Lake Dog Park (50% construction docs)
- Emerson Park (initiating concept designs and final community outreach in May)
- Righetti Ranch parks (architect on contract and initiating community outreach and on-line survey in April for
revised concept designs)
- Two playground replacements (DeVaul Ranch and Vista Lago) have firm under contract and initiating first
round of kick off meetings next week!
So… just a few things happening right now 뇤눈눉눊눍눋눌
I’ll be down at CPRS in San Diego in a couple of weeks. Let me know if you might be attending. If not, let’s stay
connected and again… A BIG THANK YOU for all your support for us!

Hi Shelsie: congratulations on finally getting staff on board to oversee the many projects the City is working on. It has been a
pleasure working with you and staff, and I am copying Jan Perkins so she can close the project out from our side. I am not sure
there are any additional expenses; however, we will finalize it for you.
Should you need our services again, please do not hesitate to contact us and good luck with the many projects that will add
more quality of life to San Luis Obispo.
Sincerely,

Hello Craig,
Thank you for the phone call a few weeks ago. I discussed the Bankertilly contract with other City staff and we have
decided the City no longer needs the services of the existing contract at this time. The City has hired a few new project
managers and engineers that will be able to help take the projects that have been scoped by Management Partners
through the design process.
I want to thank you for your time and help getting the City through a transition period of staffing vacancies. We really
appreciate your time and expertise getting several projects moving in the design process.
I will work with our Finance Department to close out the active Purchase Order (611176) in the coming weeks. Please
confirm the City has no outstanding invoices to process.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and again thank you for your help and work with the City on
capital projects.

Subject:Project Status Updates
Hi Shelsie,
I hope you had a wonderful long weekend.
Here is an update on all my projects. I wanted to send this out after my meeting with RRM/Parks on Friday for Orcutt
Righetti Parks but the meeting ran late. If you have any input on the layouts RRM sent over feel free to send that over
to Kief or Chris. RRM is going to be making some changes based on the meeting.
1. Cheng Park Revitalization – Action Rooter was supposed to come out on Friday, PD wants the camera on the Marsh at
side of the park.
2. Laguna Lake Dog Park – Ann is meeting with her team today and will let me know when they can get us 50% plans
3. Orcutt Area/Righetti Ranch Parks – At our meeting Friday we decided to put out the survey with the concept plans for all
three parks. We are still on track to go out to the site or do community outreach off-site at the beginning of April.
4. Emerson Park – Waiting for the Finance Dept to add SSA to the system so I can submit the PO.
5. DeVaul Ranch / Vista Lago – RFP sent to Cannon
6. Downtown Zig-Zag Lighting – Drafting RFP and need to email Kathleen about a map of the current lighting
7. Laguna Lake Improvements – Will start on RFP at the end of the month. Candidate for a formal RFP, on bid sync (will
need to look into examples)
8. Fire Station 3&4 Dorm Remodel – KBZ is going to come out to look at both sites and revise the proposal (waiting for
confirmation from Fire for March 1st at 2pm), Sent RFP to RRM and RNT.
Have a great week! :)

Good day, Craig!
Thanks for the calls this week and sorry I couldn’t get back to you. FYI: I believe that Shelsie was out of the office on
Thursday afternoon and Friday.
As I am not fully versed on what Public Works overall CIP needs are and role for Management Partners, I can at least
speak to Parks and Recreation…
1. City hired a project manager/engineer, Erica Long, to manage P&R related projects
2. Laguna Lake Dog Park project: landscape architect under contract (Wallace Group), currently have approval of
a concept design (see attached) after completing community survey (May & June 2022), community forums,
and PRC meetings. Construction design is now in process.
3. Righetti Ranch (Orcutt Area): RRM Design under contract, initiating on-line survey and pending in-person
community workshop in April.
4. Emerson Park grant project: RFP published and contract negotiations nearly complete for landscape design
firm.
I can’t recall if you had assisted with any other of our forecasted projects or not.
Hope you are doing well. Let me know if you need any other updates or have specific questions. Happy to arrange a
call next week if you’d like.

The schedule is preliminary and we can look for ways to speed things up as we move forward, but this does offer project
completion prior to March 2025.
Take a look and feel free to reach out with any questions or comments. We’re happy to discuss.

Hi Christian,
Thank you for submitting a proposal to provide services to the City of San Luis Obispo for the Emerson Park Amenity
Upgrades and Beautification Project.
Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that your firm has been selected to provide design services for this
project.
There are two updates we would like added to the proposal before I can initiate the purchase order.
1. Add language that the City is hiring SSA Landscape Architects, Inc. based on our on-call consultant
agreement.
2. Provide a schedule that aligns with the Prop 68 requirement for the project to be completed no later than
March 2025.
Note: The RFP stated approximately 4 weeks for City review time, but it has been taking closer to 6 weeks.
We would like to request those extra weeks are built into the schedule.
Once we receive your updated proposal, I will work with your firm to get a purchase order issued and establish a
kickoff meeting. The City will issue a purchase order for the total proposed fees including both optional tasks (Arborist,
and Solar Design / Application) at $374,074.
We look forward to working with your firm. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

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.
3.2 Laboratory Testing
Selected soil samples that are considered to be representative of site conditions will be tested in our
laboratory, or an equivalent laboratory, in order to ascertain or derive relevant engineering properties.
Anticipated testing for the project may include:

Expansion Index (ASTM D4829)
Soil Particle Size Analysis (ASTM D422)
Laboratory Maximum Density (ASTM D1557)
Direct Shear (ASTM D3080)
3.3 Geotechnical Analysis and Report Preparation
Geotechnical engineering analyses will be performed using the data obtained during our literature review,
field investigation, and laboratory testing. The analyses will be used to help form our Soils Engineering
Report for the project providing geotechnical recommendations pertaining to:
Location and depth to bedrock, if encountered
Depth to groundwater, if encountered
Grading requirements
Processing of soils and depth of over-excavation
Drainage and erosion
Preliminary pedestrian pavement structural section
Bearing capacity
Minimum foundation depth and width parameters
Lateral earth pressures (active, at-rest, and passive resistance) and sliding resistance parameters
for the design of retaining walls and footings
Seismic design considerations including seismic lateral earth pressures
A digital copy (pdf) of this report will be emailed to the client and/or client representative.

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.

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

Hi Erica,
Please see the attached, revised proposal and schedule per your notes below.
The schedule is preliminary and we can look for ways to speed things up as we move forward, but this does offer project
completion prior to March 2025.
Take a look and feel free to reach out with any questions or comments. We’re happy to discuss.
Best,

Hi Christian,
Thank you for submitting a proposal to provide services to the City of San Luis Obispo for the Emerson Park Amenity
Upgrades and Beautification Project.
Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that your firm has been selected to provide design services for this
project.
There are two updates we would like added to the proposal before I can initiate the purchase order.
34
1. Add language that the City is hiring SSA Landscape Architects, Inc. based on our on-call consultant
agreement.
2. Provide a schedule that aligns with the Prop 68 requirement for the project to be completed no later than
March 2025.
Note: The RFP stated approximately 4 weeks for City review time, but it has been taking closer to 6 weeks.
We would like to request those extra weeks are built into the schedule.
Once we receive your updated proposal, I will work with your firm to get a purchase order issued and establish a
kickoff meeting. The City will issue a purchase order for the total proposed fees including both optional tasks (Arborist,
and Solar Design / Application) at $374,074.
We look forward to working with your firm. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Erica Long

The above breakdown represents our best estimate at this time and may change subject to future developments during the project. It is possible that some of the estimated manpower requirements for specific
task items may increase, while others may not require the entire anticipated effort. This provides us a greater degree of confidence in the overall project estimate, rather than in any given task.

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.
3.2 Laboratory Testing
Selected soil samples that are considered to be representative of site conditions will be tested in our
laboratory, or an equivalent laboratory, in order to ascertain or derive relevant engineering properties.
Anticipated testing for the project may include:

Expansion Index (ASTM D4829)
Soil Particle Size Analysis (ASTM D422)
Laboratory Maximum Density (ASTM D1557)
Direct Shear (ASTM D3080)
3.3 Geotechnical Analysis and Report Preparation
Geotechnical engineering analyses will be performed using the data obtained during our literature review,
field investigation, and laboratory testing. The analyses will be used to help form our Soils Engineering
Report for the project providing geotechnical recommendations pertaining to:
Location and depth to bedrock, if encountered
Depth to groundwater, if encountered
Grading requirements
Processing of soils and depth of over-excavation
Drainage and erosion
Preliminary pedestrian pavement structural section
Bearing capacity
Minimum foundation depth and width parameters
Lateral earth pressures (active, at-rest, and passive resistance) and sliding resistance parameters
for the design of retaining walls and footings
Seismic design considerations including seismic lateral earth pressures
A digital copy (pdf) of this report will be emailed to the client and/or client representative.

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.

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.

Hi Christian,
Thank you for submitting a proposal to provide services to the City of San Luis Obispo for the Emerson Park Amenity
Upgrades and Beautification Project.
Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that your firm has been selected to provide design services for this
project.
There are two updates we would like added to the proposal before I can initiate the purchase order.
1. Add language that the City is hiring SSA Landscape Architects, Inc. based on our on-call consultant
agreement.
2. Provide a schedule that aligns with the Prop 68 requirement for the project to be completed no later than
March 2025.
Note: The RFP stated approximately 4 weeks for City review time, but it has been taking closer to 6 weeks.
We would like to request those extra weeks are built into the schedule.
Once we receive your updated proposal, I will work with your firm to get a purchase order issued and establish a
kickoff meeting. The City will issue a purchase order for the total proposed fees including both optional tasks (Arborist,
and Solar Design / Application) at $374,074.
We look forward to working with your firm. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Erica Long

City of San Luis Obispo
919 Palm Street
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401‐3218
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,
replacement of an existing drinking fountain and inclusion of an educational garden. A public mosaic will
be included as either part of the restroom building facade or placed elsewhere in the park.
SSA will serve as the prime consultant leading, collaborating, and managing the design and engineering
work of consultants hired by SSA. Anticipated consultants include a Geotechnical Engineer to document
existing soil conditions and provide recommendations sufficient for project consultants to design their
respective project components; a Civil Engineer will provide rough and fine grading of all elements,
sanitary sewer and water utilities for the proposed restroom structure, and stormwater management
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.
3.2 Laboratory Testing
Selected soil samples that are considered to be representative of site conditions will be tested in our
laboratory, or an equivalent laboratory, in order to ascertain or derive relevant engineering properties.
Anticipated testing for the project may include:

Expansion Index (ASTM D4829)
Soil Particle Size Analysis (ASTM D422)
Laboratory Maximum Density (ASTM D1557)
Direct Shear (ASTM D3080)
3.3 Geotechnical Analysis and Report Preparation
Geotechnical engineering analyses will be performed using the data obtained during our literature review,
field investigation, and laboratory testing. The analyses will be used to help form our Soils Engineering
Report for the project providing geotechnical recommendations pertaining to:
Location and depth to bedrock, if encountered
Depth to groundwater, if encountered
Grading requirements
Processing of soils and depth of over-excavation
Drainage and erosion
Preliminary pedestrian pavement structural section
Bearing capacity
Minimum foundation depth and width parameters
Lateral earth pressures (active, at-rest, and passive resistance) and sliding resistance parameters
for the design of retaining walls and footings
Seismic design considerations including seismic lateral earth pressures
A digital copy (pdf) of this report will be emailed to the client and/or client representative.
4.0 SCHEDULE

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.

Scope of Proposed Services
The scope of our services is based on a review of the conceptual drawings,
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).

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

Hi Erica,
We are pleased to present our proposal for the Emerson Park project. Please take a look and feel free to reach out to discuss
scope and assumptions, we’re happy to work with you to revise if necessary.
Please note our fee schedule for the initial proposal is based on 2022 hourly rates, however we’ve included our 2023 rate
schedule for any additional services beyond the original scope.
I hope you all are doing well down there and recovering from this last batch of weather. Looks like another round this weekend
into early next week but hopefully clearing up afterwards.

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.
3.2 Laboratory Testing
Selected soil samples that are considered to be representative of site conditions will be tested in our
laboratory, or an equivalent laboratory, in order to ascertain or derive relevant engineering properties.
Anticipated testing for the project may include:

Expansion Index (ASTM D4829)
Soil Particle Size Analysis (ASTM D422)
Laboratory Maximum Density (ASTM D1557)
Direct Shear (ASTM D3080)
3.3 Geotechnical Analysis and Report Preparation
Geotechnical engineering analyses will be performed using the data obtained during our literature review,
field investigation, and laboratory testing. The analyses will be used to help form our Soils Engineering
Report for the project providing geotechnical recommendations pertaining to:
Location and depth to bedrock, if encountered
Depth to groundwater, if encountered
Grading requirements
Processing of soils and depth of over-excavation
Drainage and erosion
Preliminary pedestrian pavement structural section
Bearing capacity
Minimum foundation depth and width parameters
Lateral earth pressures (active, at-rest, and passive resistance) and sliding resistance parameters
for the design of retaining walls and footings
Seismic design considerations including seismic lateral earth pressures
A digital copy (pdf) of this report will be emailed to the client and/or client representative.

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.

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.

Hi Erica,
We are pleased to present our proposal for the Emerson Park project. Please take a look and feel free to reach out to discuss
scope and assumptions, we’re happy to work with you to revise if necessary.
Please note our fee schedule for the initial proposal is based on 2022 hourly rates, however we’ve included our 2023 rate
schedule for any additional services beyond the original scope.
I hope you all are doing well down there and recovering from this last batch of weather. Looks like another round this weekend
into early next week but hopefully clearing up afterwards.
Best regards,

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.
3.2 Laboratory Testing
Selected soil samples that are considered to be representative of site conditions will be tested in our
laboratory, or an equivalent laboratory, in order to ascertain or derive relevant engineering properties.
Anticipated testing for the project may include:

Expansion Index (ASTM D4829)
Soil Particle Size Analysis (ASTM D422)
Laboratory Maximum Density (ASTM D1557)
Direct Shear (ASTM D3080)
3.3 Geotechnical Analysis and Report Preparation
Geotechnical engineering analyses will be performed using the data obtained during our literature review,
field investigation, and laboratory testing. The analyses will be used to help form our Soils Engineering
Report for the project providing geotechnical recommendations pertaining to:
Location and depth to bedrock, if encountered
Depth to groundwater, if encountered
Grading requirements
Processing of soils and depth of over-excavation
Drainage and erosion
Preliminary pedestrian pavement structural section
Bearing capacity
Minimum foundation depth and width parameters
Lateral earth pressures (active, at-rest, and passive resistance) and sliding resistance parameters
for the design of retaining walls and footings
Seismic design considerations including seismic lateral earth pressures
A digital copy (pdf) of this report will be emailed to the client and/or client representative.

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.

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

PROJECT: Emerson Park Amenity Upgrades and Beautification
The City of San Luis Obispo is requesting proposals from our on-call consultants for
the design of the Emerson Park Amenity Upgrades and Beautification Project. The
project is located at Emerson Park (1341 Nipomo Street) in San Luis Obispo (See
Attachment A). The project will bring the existing amenities and services to current
safety and ADA standards (except for the exercise equipment that was recently
replaced through another project and the community garden area that may be
upgraded in-house with City staff) in support of the recent Prop 68 State Park Grant.
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
Emerson Park is in the downtown core of San Luis Obispo, adjacent to the Parks
and Recreation Department main office building. Current amenities at Emerson
Park include two bocce ball courts, an old basketball court, community garden plots,
a weathered black top, playground, picnic tables, turf area with an old backstop, and
new exercise equipment. There are currently no public restrooms within the park for
families with small children to utilize while playing at the park.
As part of the Prop 68 State Parks grant application requirements, as well as
fulfilling the community outreach for development in support of the Master Plan
Public Outreach process, the Parks and Recreation Department facilitated multiple
public workshops for the community to provide input on specific amenities needed
at Emerson Park. The feedback received at these workshops were instrumental in
the successful award of the Grant to the City San Luis Obispo. In conjunction, the
community input and the grant award has provided the amenities proposed within
the Emerson Neighborhood Park Revitalization Concept plan. The concept plan
includes public restrooms to provide families with young children an accessible
restroom while playing at the park thereby extending their use of the park with
minimal interruption.
The desire for more shade structures has been a consistent community request
throughout the public workshops and the concept plan includes a shade structure
over the playground. In addition, the community forums produced the need for
additional shade amenities to support the fitness and bocce ball area, as well as
potential for an area of the dog park.
One of the City’s Major City Goals is Climate Action and Sustainability, and the
concept plan proposes the use of rain barrels to capture and store rainfall run off to
utilize in watering at the educational on-site gardens. The plan will also include an
update to the compost bins already located within Emerson Park.
The design process will require conceptual layout options for the park with the
already chosen amenities per the grant. The project will need to comply with the
recent Prop 68 State Parks grant awarded to the City in December 2021 including
the requirement to have project completed prior to March 2025.
PROJECT SCOPE:
The consultant will need to meet with Parks & Recreation staff for input on design
features and amenities relative to the Prop 68 State Parks grant and recently
implemented Parks + Recreation Blueprint (master plan - July 2021). Attachment B
Emerson Park Site Plan contains the preferred layout of the recreation and support
amenities. This plan needs to be refined with a conceptual layout and material options
displays that can be presented at the Parks and Recreation Committee meeting.
Upon review and approval of a conceptual layout for the park, the consultant will
complete the design and prepare construction documents for the project. The
consultant will be responsible for all coordination with third party utility companies
(PG&E, etc.) as needed to complete the design.
The first stage of the park will be to incorporate recommendations from Staff and the
Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC).
The consultant will need to develop conceptual designs for the playground
equipment and dog park based on the requested amenities for Emerson Park.
Provide visual concept plans for Staff and the consultant to conduct a
community forum.
Present two conceptual plans and designs to PRC.
Based on the detail of the design plans, provide a minimum of one follow up
meeting to present scope and design, and return to present the 90% design to
PRC.
The following list of improvements will be included in the design:
- ½ Acre Large/Small Dog Park
o fencing
o lighting
o shade structure
- Prefabricated self-cleaning restroom
o solar roof panels
o Stormwater captured for infiltration or irrigation
- Drought tolerant landscaping
- Shade structure partially covering existing exercise equipment
- Safety lighting throughout the park on main pathways (solar)
- Renovate and relocate (2) Bocce Courts
- Renovate and expand an existing basketball court to multi-purpose court
(full-size court and half-size court) and install new court lighting
- New playground
o 2-5 year old’s
o 5-12 year old’s
o shade structure
- Replace existing perimeter fencing
- Replace drinking fountain and hydration station (include dog bowl feature)
- Educational garden with storm water barrel and compost station
- Area available for a public mosaic on the outside of the restroom or
included in design of park
This is a list of all improvements included in the Prop 68 State Parks grant
application for the project. The consultant will produce conceptual layouts to
be reviewed and discussed with staff, the community, and the Parks and
Recreation Commission during the design process.

The City will provide review comments for each deliverable, with a timeframe of
approximately 4 weeks. City will submit project plans for building permit review and
approval at the 90% PS&E stage. The consultant can expect 90% plan check
revisions from the building permit review process that will be combined with the
engineering staff review comments. Consultant may also anticipate minor revisions
to the 100% PS&E prior to City Engineer approval of Final PS&E.
Please include a schedule for delivery for the design work and revisions of the
project plans, specifications, and estimates in the proposal.

the last 5 years) and understanding of project scope.
Please provide proposals to the City by December 2, 2022, to be considered for this
project. Please submit any question by November 18, 2022, so the City has time to
