We acknowledge the original RFP dated March 23, 2026, and the Addendum dated April 02, 2026. The City’s initiative to enhance the safety and security of these three downtown structures is a very important measure for the public sphere in San Luis Obispo. Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects, Inc. (RNT) brings highly relevant life safety and security expertise from civic projects across California, many of which were designed to comply with Division of the State Architect (DSA) requirements. Our portfolio includes public safety facilities, several security enhancement projects, as well as multiple parking structures with roof-level fencing and digital surveillance features. Local Service RNT’s office is located within walking distance of the three project sites, which means our Project Manager, Ansgar Killing, and Project Architect, Brian Iwasaki, can easily attend site meetings and address existing conditions. Additionally, our engineering consultants, with whom we have successful prior experience, are local to San Luis Obispo. Client and Community Prioritization We value projects that serve and strengthen communities, from small-scale interventions and renovations to new-builds and master plans. Our design approach prioritizes intentional listening, clear communication with you as our client, and striking a balance between aesthetic quality and functional value. With 46 years of public sector expertise, we understand the need to execute projects like this within a well-managed budget and schedule, and a quality end product for your end users is paramount. On behalf of RNT, we thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal for the Parking Structure Safety Element Research and Design project. Sincerely, Chris Bradbury, AIA, NCARB, Principal-In-Charge Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects, Inc. RNT Architects | City of San Luis Obispo Parking Structure Safety Element Research and Design | 4 Understanding Of The Project Our team has carefully reviewed the RFP, visited the City’s various parking structures multiple times, and conducted a preliminary assessment of the scope and the budget that was communicated via Amendment 1. Challenge It is our understanding that the City would like to establish safety elements that provide a consistent safety approach throughout the City’s parking structures. Given the layout, construction, and varying heights of the three structures, safety elements will require customization to meet unique conditions. At this same time, the City is aware that the cost for the safety standard as implemented at the new Art District Parking Structure may exceed the City’s budget for design and construction. Approach Using as-built drawings provided by the City, our team will create CAD backgrounds for all three existing parking structures. At the site visit, the engineering team will associate typical mounting scenarios to standard conditions and identify special conditions that will require customization of mounting solutions. Our team is proposing an early outreach to preferred vendors and manufacturers to align scope, budget, and schedule. If the City is open to this approach, design fees in particular for electrical engineering could be further reduced. In close collaboration with the Public Works staff, our team will then refine budget, schedule, and quality parameters during the development of 50% and 90% design documents.

Gallagher Associates. Projects included several seismic retrofits including non-ductile concrete buildings and several unreinforced masonry structures. He also performed several non-linear static pushover analyses using the criteria of FEMA 356 (currently known as ASCE 41-17). After five years of working with existing structures, Mr. Stork began working for KPFF in San Francisco to broaden his exposure to new design projects. These projects included both commercial buildings and hospitals. In 2003, Mr. Stork, a native of San Luis Obispo, moved back to the Central Coast to raise his family. He worked remotely for Howard Structural Group’s Carpinteria office before opening and running their San Luis Obispo office in 2006, providing engineering services to their Central Coast clients. Mr. Stork has extensive experience designing seismic retrofits for several historic buildings in the Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo area, including the 9-story Granada Theater and Tower, and the City of Santa Barbara Fire Station No.1. Many of the structures Mr. Stork has worked on have lacked original or as- built construction drawings. Because of this, he has spent countless hours of field investigation to get a better understanding of strengths, weaknesses and expected behavior of each individual structure. His experience also includes municipal projects, university structures, public schools, several performing arts structures, health care facilities, high-end custom homes, and commercial buildings constructed of all materials. Currently Mr. Stork is a Co-Principal for Stork, Wolfe & Associates, a Structural Engineering firm located in San Luis Obispo.

Cost: $113M; Fee: $128K Project: NAVFAC Southwest, P2002 Combat Logistics Battalion Facilities, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendelton, CA Description: Hunter Pacific Group provided cost estimating and cost, schedule and risk analysis services for the P2002 Combat Logistics Battalion (CLB) Facilities at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, CA. Our team of cost estimators provided a Pre-Final and Final Estimate utilizing MCACES MII. Construction schedule was also provided with P6 software. The team also provided a Cost and Schedule Risk Analysis report. The contingency factors for both cost and schedule were calculated at the 85 percent confidence level, risk-averse, as requested by NAVFAC SW. The CLB Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs) were activated as part of the 2007 Force Structure Review Group Initiative. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton lacked existing vacant facilities necessary to adequately support the operational, logistical, and administrative requirements of the newly established CLB MEUs. Due to a lack of vehicle maintenance bays, most first and second-echelon vehicle maintenance is performed outdoors. Due to a lack of secured indoor storage, gear is stored outdoors in container boxes. The P2002 project supports the improvement plan to provide adequate and efficiently configured administrative, classrooms, auto organizational maintenance, communications and electronic systems maintenance, storage facilities, and paved parking to support two Combat Logistics Battalions (CLB-1 and CLB-5).
