I F1L- . 1-9=01- ...may 1 1 BMLA Landscape Architecture WORK PLAN/TECHNICAL APPROACH PROJECT UNDERSTANDING -- - In an ongoing basis, the City of La Quinta will be embarking on landscape and irrigation projects, which could include a variety of tasks such as GIS asset management, community outreach, infill planting, irrigation retrofit, and turf removal. Using our proven methodology, the BMLA team will endeavor to provide designs that meet both the aesthetic needs and water conservation efforts of the City. SCOPE The tasks involved in each project will vary based on the scope of the intended work, but as a general approach the BMLA team could proceed with the following. PROJECT INITIATION Kick -Off Meeting: BMLA will be available to attend a project kick-off meeting with the City to review the goals and objectives, as well as define schedules and milestones for the project. Site Analysis: Evaluate existing site conditions including but not limited to the existing landscape, grading/drainage, existing irrigation equipment, utilities, and other critical information required for a complete design. Conduct GIS site evaluation. Preliminary Data Research: Review site data in the forms of maps, reports and legal documents pro- vided by the CLIENT. Said documents may include previous landscape plans, topographical maps, street improvement plans, right of ways or other information available at the time of the project initi- ation. COMMUNITY OUTREACH Community Workshop: BIALA will conduct a community workshop to solicit input from the public re- garding the design of the proposed project. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Concept Landscape Site Design: The concept design will illustrate the conceptual treatments for re- placement planting. The illustrations may include plans or other methods of communication neces- sary to convey the proposed design solution. Opinion of Probable Construction Costs: BMLA will prepare an opinion of the likely construction costs for the proposed improvements illustrated in the final design solution. Because of the preliminary nature of the illustrations the estimate will have a substantial but suitable contingency applied to the Iota 1. Client Coordination Meetings: BMLA will be available to attend design coordination meetings with the client and his consultants for the purposes of receiving input and providing direction to the team. CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS Documents will be prepared to meet the minimum standards of the approving jurisdictions having control over the project in accordance with the state and local standards, codes and regulations. 12 BMLA Landscape Architecture Demolition Plans: BMLA will prepare detailed plans that illustrate the locations and limits of proposed landscape removal. The plans will also identify the location and limits of the exiting site features that shall remain in place and protected from construction impacts. Irrigation Plans: BMLA will prepare the necessary irrigation retrofit plans to water the proposed plant- ed areas with 100 % coverage. The plans will include the location, type, size and manufacture of the proposed equipment and material necessary to construct the proposed system. The plans will also include the required notes and calculations necessary to demonstrate the engineering suitability of the proposed system. Planting Plans: BMLA will prepare plans that illustrate the location, size, quantity and type of proposed plant material as required to complete the intended design solution. The plans may include but not limited to trees, shrubs, ground covers, flower color, mulches and vines. Water Scheduling: BMLA will prepare the detailed watering schedule for the proposed irrigation sys- tem. The schedule will be distributed to the client and Jurisdiction up on request. Opinion of Probable Construction Costs: BMLA will prepare an opinion of the probable construction costs for the proposed improvements illustrated in the final design solution. Because of the prelimi- nary nature of the illustrations the estimate will have a substantial but suitable contingency applied to the total of the opinion.
