The General Design Parameters, City Hall Needs Assessment, competition rules, title report, soils report, and boundary, parcel and topographic maps will be provided by the City on the City's website (See postings at http: / /www.city.newport- beach.ca.us) • Understand the context and goals of the Project, which as noted center around two new highly significant public facilities (a City Hall and a park) in a central, high - profile location, adjacent to the existing Newport Beach Central Library. • Work within an open and public process led by the City Hall Design Committee, including attending relevant Committee meetings when requested and dialoguing with the Committee. • Review and utilize the City's existing and updated data about its space and parking needs for the City Hall facility and the parking facility. The City Council has set a building square footage target of 79,000 square feet. However, the updated Needs Assessment estimates the number and size of needed workstations along with meeting rooms, Council Chambers, storage, and circulation space to exceed that target. The City envisions that each firm will primarily satisfy the updated work space requirements and employ creative solutions to meet the target. If the firm believes that the square footage target cannot be met, it should so state that fact and provide strong reasoning as to why. • Provide all of the necessary materials, exhibits, etc. to present and successfully communicate their team's design concept to the City Hall Design Committee and later the Newport Beach City Council in a public setting. • Develop and submit, to the City Hall Design committee by 5pm on September 18, 2008, a creative, timeless, and fully functional design encompassing each element of the Project within the timelines laid out within this Agreement and by the Committee. The elements of the Project would include, but not be limited to: overall site design, park design, building design, and parking design. The design shall also include the integration of water quality and LEED requirements. • Participate in public hearings before the Committee and City Council to discuss and potentially modify the design plan, based upon public input and Council direction. • If selected, advance forward into design with a qualified, competent team that can complete design thru construction. 14 Fax #: CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE CHECKLIST City of Newport Beach 0 This checklist is comprised of requirements as outlined by the City of Newport Beach.

As a practice focused on projects that enrich the public life, the recent built work of Gonzalez I Goodole Architects includes city holls, libraries, urban parks, community and performing arts centers, educational campuses, and mixed use developments. We find a special, career - peaking appeal in the specific character and conditions of your Civic Center's design challenges: • The synergy of natural land form, porkscape, city hall, and library suggests the potentials for the Civic Center to be also a center of learning, of recreation, of performance and public gathering; i.e. to be an inter - connected destination and cultural center for the City of Newport Beach. • With a keen interest in both research and context, our diverse experience has prepared us to respond creatively to the dramatic contextual issues of this project: - We understand and embrace the shaping influence that land form, infrastructure, sight lines, views, water management, and parkscape will hove on the Civic Center. - We have on evolving appreciation for the diverse architectural context in Newport Beach, and the potentials to mature that context into a timeless, civic architecture -of- quality unique to the City and region. - The land management issues, the climate, the counterpoint of civic and park interests, in concert with a growing public sensitivity to the limits of global resources, make the Civic Center project a i 62 6 see i +sa F 636 666 BO l6 gon;a'.ezgnntlalaco�r gonzalez r,, 0 � o .. 7 row- 0 0 potential regional model of sustainable development, not merely for LEED points, but for a truly efficient and sensitive example of lond /facility development. We particularly invite a review of Section 6, Design Approach for a further exploration of these exciting challenges. This submittal is structured around the outline in your Request for Qualifications. There are four specific qualifications that we highlight below: The conceptual design team for the competition includes Gonzalez I Goodole Architects and Rabben /Hermann Design, a Newport Beach based landscape architectural studio currently engaged in two City projects. The project principals, Armando Gonzalez, David Goodole, William Rabben, and Dan Hermann were responsible for winning and executing another major civic design competition for Culver City's 80,000 - square -foot City Hall. We also collaborated on the design and realization of Westlake Village's Civic Center, on integrated complex of city hall, library, meeting space, civic square and gardens nestled into a dramatically terracing bluff. Imperative to both design principals, David Goodole and William Robben, is the will to evolve on understanding of context - culture and land - into a compelling design idea. 2. Equally integral to the concept design team will be Tetra Tech hydrology engineers. Their deep experience in civic infrastructure, land management, and water management is wedded to a history of creative civil engineering in support of an enhanced public life: Tetra Tech was instrumental in the ongoing engineering of the walkways for Son Antonio's Riverwalk, and continues to use water management solutions in support of enriched pedestrian environments. 3. Outside of the focused civic project experience that we share in Section 5, we underscore our own recent special project experience that will directly benefit design thinking on your competition. Our design, in Los Angeles, for the 382,000- square -foot Heritage K -12 campus at the center of the Wilshire District on the site of the former Ambassador Hotel involved elements directly relevant to the challenges of your Civic Center: 0 gonzalez c v o t1 A LE S E - The integration of historic and contemporary forces: architectural, social, and political. Along with this came a public engagement and consensus building among the most diverse and resolute community interests and groups. - The management of massive infrastructure and topography, existing and new. - The design of both extensive public facilities and recreational open space, including on inspirational / educational, urban, Wilshire- fronting public park dedicated to the memory and work of Robert F Kennedy, who was assassinated at the Ambassador Hotel in 1968. - The core of both public dollars and a public trust to serve as environmental stewards for a revered historic and topographic site at the City center. 4. Finally, we underscore our established depth in sustainable practices outlined in Section 7, with 5 current LEED projects (one Gold rated), three LEED certified practitioners, and an aggressive in -house resource and monitoring team. Wishing you great success in your competition, we would be honored and inspired by an invitation to take port in it.

The community /senior center design called for richness of natural materials including stone, redwood, and copper roofing, while melding with the surrounding landscape and maximizing upon the views. Sitting atop a hillside in Summitridge Park, the new 22,500- square -foot Center provides the community with a variety of amenities including a dedicated senior citizen room, specialized areas for youth recreation programs such as gymnastics and dance, space for City -run arts programs, and a 500 - seat banquet facility that features a performance stage and sophisticated oudio /video equipment. The library was a component of the original master plan and is currently on hold. Parallel to the challenges of the Newport Beach Civic Center, this project entailed a promontory with dramatic city /canyon views, exterior gardens and open space, significant earth movement, and storm water management. The community room portion of the facility has booked for a year in advance ever since its opening, and is a genuine revenue- generotor for the city. 9 onzJ /eZ1,UA VAA4 � 0 0 5.

The program called for o facility in Mission /Mediterranean Renaissance style located in downtown Culver City, at the site of the City's 1920's City Hall. The project comprises approximately 83,000 square feet of offices on three floors; 4,900 square feet of council chambers; and 200,000 square feet of two levels of subterranean parking for 500 cars. Designed by David Goodole, in concert with William Robben, this project won on AIA Design Award, a Society of Registered Architects Award, and a Chicago Atheneum Design Award, and has become on events center and passive recreational center for the city's growing pedestrian life. This project almost precisely parallels the Newport Beach Civic Center in facility scale and in number of programmed parking spaces — some of which were dedicated to surrounding cultural uses.

At the some time, as the city's Civic Center, we anticipate and recommend components of the project that will definitively mark the site and give it identity to both motorists and the surrounding city. The design should integrate a deep respect for the land and landscape along with a discrete iconic 'morking' that brings pride and identity to the city.

DESIGN MANAGEMENT APPROACH WORKING SPIRIT PARTICIPATION AND LEADERSHIP In our history of civic architecture, we have evolved a successful process that has repeatedly delivered projects in a timely and cost - effective manner, and, most importantly, in a manner that has garnered public support and trust. Participation requires a continuous spirit of research, listening, and open- mindedness. It requires o spirit of inclusion, respect and deference for all who have a vested interest in the project, city governance, city staff, citizens, and professional consultants. A successful project will structure venues appropriate to each phase of the project wherein all parties can hove representation and expression, and the design team, in turn, has on obligation to assimilate these expressions in a cohesive way that maintains an overall functional and design integrity. At the some time, public projects require a high level of both professionalism and leadership. We recommend, at the inception of the project, formation of a small Ad Hoc City /Architect team that steers the project continuously through all phases, and includes, at minimum, two respective representatives of major stake- holders (staff and governance). This team becomes responsible for establishing project Guiding Principles, for structuring a process of public input and review, and acts as a mediating body for all City governance, City agencies and City officials, including informal review of work -in- progress where appropriate. This Ad Hoc City /Architect team integrates the input of governance, staff, and the public. It seeks continually to build consensus and resolve conflicts. And it provides definitive leadership. As a client, you will make confident project decisions based on the professional advice and recommendations of Gonzalez I Goodole Architects and their consultant team. TALENTED TEAMS WITH MUTUAL RESPECT / TRUST The best insurance that we have in delivering a timely and cost- effective project is the track record of our project and consultant team, and the mutual trust and respect that has grown out of a history of successful performance. Our professional team follows the some model outlined above: We encourage the sharing of ideas and critiques at all levels of the team; and, at the some time, based on professional recommendations, we provide leadership to synthesize the optimum design options. GUIDING PRINCIPLES We recommend to the Ad Hoc Client /Architect team: jointly establishing the 'rules of ploy' - the 'constitution' - for the project at its outset, and then reviewing /editing these Guiding Principles with governance and the public. This is the greatest single tool to establish on initial consensus about the broad goals and priorities of a civic project; and the best tool to keep the project on track in the most comprehensive way, including time, budget, and, equally important, the overall project objectives that will continue to give the architecture its character many decades from now. pnnzifez1 6 , 4FILM 3/ .-1 u 7. D E S I G N THE TASK PLAN 0 M A N A G E M E NT A P P R O A C H Integral to our mission statement is the synthesis of our objectives as o design firm with a high level of professional service and efficient project delivery. We achieve the service /delivery side of this equation through numerous tools, but none so important as a highly detailed Task Pion / Schedule that is developed at the earliest phase of a project. With the aid of both our client team and our consultant team, we insure that this Task Plan, in its global structure, includes: • The comprehensive consulting services required for the project, and the timing of their interface with the design and documentation process. • The milestones for each phase of the work, and sub - milestones, such as reviews required by City and other governmental and agencies, client and consultant team meetings, and in -house team meetings. Inclusion of both City and Architect tasks /responsibilities in these milestones assures a mutual 'ownership' of the Task Plan, and a mutual adoption of the importance of a disciplined project schedule. • A methodical sequence of design and engineering tasks that are organized in critical path sequence. • With clear definition of mutual responsibilities, interfaces, and milestones, positive performance of all parties con be continually confirmed /tweaked on nearly a 'real -time' basis in order to keep the project on track. This Task Plan becomes the principal tool for achieving timely completion of the project. In combination with monitoring and disciplined team meetings /workshops, it can also become a creative tool for schedule recovery, should unforeseen forces set back the project's timeline. SPECIFIC PROGRAMS / QUALIFICATIONS SUSTAINABILITY We have both in -house and consultant experience /team depth in sustainable design. The firm's Quality Assurance principal, John Ferguson, is LEED accredited, along with two other studio members. We currently hove five projects being designed for LEED certification, with one — the Pasadena Water and Power Building — designed at a LEED Gold level. The value of sustoinability is a driving force in our work, our studio, and our staff. An Environmental Resources Team within Gonzalez I Goodole Architects inspires and monitors sustainable performance in design; and serves as a source for environmental research, information, and practical implementation techniques. We have established a series of overall principles by which to test successful design performance against environmental health and sustainobility: 1) Successful design performance enriches the holistic well -being and health of a project's inhobitants -os- organisms, optimizing the effects of light, climate control, sound, scent, and emotiono[ /spiritual qualities of place and space; 2) The successful design process engages our clients in a dialogue that promotes investment 9aaziLazlcc 0 0 0 A L E 3e 0 0 7. D E S I G N M A N A G E M E N T A P P R O A C H in quality, permanence, and craftsmanship over strategies of replacement, obsolescence, and waste; 3) Successful design performance maximizes a project's sustoinability and minimizes its negative impacts on natural resources over the following range of categories: Site Selection /Site Planning; Space Planning; Building Envelope and Skin Design; Engineering Systems; Building Materials; Construction Process. We will provide active leadership, ongoing matrices and checklists, and optional costs to guide your understanding and decision - making regarding both LEED rating and overall sustainability. QUALITY ASSURANCE The Quality Assurance program at Gonzalez I Goodole Architects is built on layers and diversity that together form on effective system to assure our projects are delivered with a high level of completeness, accuracy, clarity and coordination among disciplines. The major components of our program are: • Extensive in -house continuing education efforts • Formal Quality Control procedures during document development • Independent Quality Checking at milestones of development • Highest level of inspiration to excel Inspiration to Excellence We are convinced that the best policies and procedures for quality assurance are only as good as the people who implement them. With that guiding belief, we are constantly evaluating our staff, not only for technical and design excellence, but for the desire to achieve outstanding results. We work to instill a sense of ownership and pride in the projects in every team member. All team members know their work is valued and critical to a successful project completion. Continuing Education Gonzalez I Goodale has an internal implementation team responsible for oversight of our Quality Assurance program. This team sponsors seminars, field trips, project "post- martems," etc. designed to further develop our abilities to produce successful documents. We have a tracking process to analyze prior projects and target learning opportunities in areas that have proven challenging. Our efforts toward professional development include on annual budget allowance for individual participation in off -site educational venues. Quality Control Quality control is the process of establishing minimum standards of performance and measuring compliance upon completion of the work. The high level of standard for Gonzalez I Goodole Architects is reflected concretely in our architect- driven change order history, which has averaged - over the past 10 years - below 2.5 %. We utilize on extensive, formal, check list -based program to guarantee compliance with our standards. Our entire project team participates in quality control OIIdZlltz'a g 0 J> d L E 39 E 7 . D E S I G N M A N A G E M E N T A P P R O A C H practices, continuously, from the very beginning through to the end of each project. Both our staff retention and our current balance of registered architects (10), further help to insure a deepening of our quality control. Our consultants ore required to participate in this process, completing the some checklists and certifying they have coordinated their work with all other disciplines. Quality Checking Our Quality Assurance principal and members of the team are responsible for the independent checking of the documentation at various milestones such as completion of Design Development and Construction Documents, and, most extensively, prior to bidding. The principal is typically not intimately involved in the day -to -day development of the documents, and so is able to provide an unbiased, independent critique of the work. These independent reviews are thorough, and, based on project size and complexity, typically require several weeks to complete final reviews. Public Presentation / Graphics / Animation In Robert Gonzales, an 11 -year veteran of the firm, we believe we have one of the finest 3- dimensional architectural renderers and animators in Southern California. All of the digital project sketches represented in these Qualifications have been developed by Robert, and his videos /walk- throughs of our projects under design have been repeatedly utilized by major clients in cable TV venues for public fund - raising and bond - raising campaigns. Robert is one of a team of graphic and physical model implementers that we will bring — at both rough and refined levels — to the exploration and refinement of your design. S.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Ratify the recommendations of the City Hall and Park Master Plan Design Committee by selecting the following firms to go forward in the Design Competition for the City Hall and Park Master Plan project and authorize the City Manager to enter into stipend agreements with these firms: • Bohlin Cywinski Jackson • Gonzales Goodale Architecture • Johnson Fain • LPA • Rosetti Architecture BACKGROUND: The City Council, guided by the City Hall Design Committee, issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the design of the new City Hall and Park (and other related facilities, including a parking facility) on April 11, 2008. The Design Committee, consisting of the following persons: • Lary Tucker, Chairman (non- voting) • Andy Bowden, Landscape Architect • Rush Hill, Architect • Walt Richardson, Architect • Linda Taylor, Architect • Stephen Sandland, Architect ... met six times in open, noticed, and public meetings at the Friends Room at the Newport Beach Public Library since April 7, 2008, to: • Assist City staff in preparation of the RFQ, • Develop a Judging Procedure and Criteria for responses (see Exhibit A, Part 1); • Assist in the Council's development of General Design Parameters for the City Hall and Park Master Plan; City Hall and Park Master Plan Team Selection June 24, 2008 Page 2 • Propose answers to questions that various firms raised as the firms reviewed the RFQ; • Receive and review the RFQ responses (there were 51 firms /teams /individuals that submitted responses by the May 19, 2008 deadline); • Rank the responses consistent with the attached Scoring Sheet (see Exhibit B), selecting thirteen (13) firms to "short list' and to have City staff make reference checks on each firm to the extent possible; and • Forward the names of five (5) firms or teams to the City Council for the Council's formal consideration to complete in the Design Competition. All of the 51 submittals were made available at the City Clerk's Office in City Hall and at the Central Library. The Design Committee's review took place both independently and in public sessions on June 2 and June 16. At the June 2nd meeting, after a detailed individual review that took dozens of hours by each Committee member over the Memorial Day weekend and other free time during that period, the Committee narrowed the field of 51 firms down to thirteen. The "short list" of thirteen firms was (in alphabetical order): • Arquitechtonica • Bauer and Wiley • Bohlin Cywinski Jackson • Carrier Johnson • DMJM Design • Dougherty and Dougherty • Gensler • Gonzales Goodale Architects • Johnson Fain • LPA • NBBJ • Rosetti Architecture • Studios Architecture At the June 16th meeting, the Design Committee recommended that the following five firms (shown in alphabetical order) be selected by the City Council to participate in the next phase of the competition. The committee also selected Dougherty and Dougherty as an alternate in the event one of the firms declines to proceed. The next phase involves a $50,000 stipend for each firm to work over Summer 2008 on a "Concept Plan" for the City Hall and Park Master Plan and to return in September 2008 for detailed public review and discussion about each of the five Concept Plans. Five Firms Recommended for Consideration • Bohlin Cywinski Jackson • Gonzales Goodale Architecture • Johnson Fain • LPA • Rosetti Architecture City Hall and Pad* Master Plan Team Selection June 24, 2008 Page 3 The Committee stressed that the selection of these five firms was very challenging after winnowing the list to thirteen. Each of the thirteen firms, they noted, could do the job well — but they believed that the five firms identified here were the "best of the best" that submitted responses to the RFQ, and they unanimously endorsed forwarding the five firms to the City Council. Their 5 -0 recommendation on Monday, June 16t", 2008 urged the Council to enter each of the five firms into the Competition by granting them each the $50,000 stipend and contracting with them for the Concept Plan work. Each of the firms' submittals (all fifty -one, in fact) remains available in the City Clerk's Office and the Central Library for public review. What's Next? As noted, the design teams, if they are selected by the Council on June 24th, 2008 and if they agree to go forward, will work over the summer to prepare Concept Plans for the City Hall, Park, and related facilities. On or about September 22nd, 2008, the Design Committee envisions meeting in a public setting to receive presentations from each of the five firms. By late October or early November 2008, the Committee hopes to have completed its review of the Concept Plans and to put forth a ranking (based on the attached criteria — see Exhibit A, Part 2) to the City Council. The Council's tentative calendar shows the Council considering the plans on November 25t", 2008. A Word of Thanks The time donated to the community by each of the six Design Committee members has, to date, been extraordinary. Their work will continue in the fall, and may be equally time - consuming at that point. The City offers its sincere thanks to the Committee members for their generosity.

The Committee will rank the submittals according, generally, to a point score based on the following: 1. Experience and References (50 %). • Does the quality of the team's expertise and design work as submitted (including "at least three recent large scale projects of similar scope, preferably with a public agency for a public building ") meet the Committee's expectations for functionality, timelessness of design, and overall design vision? (25 %) • Does the proposing team have appropriate expertise and experience working successfully together in architecture, landscape architecture, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering and other related engineering services, project scheduling, cost - benefit analysis, value engineering, LEED and sustainable design, and general administration of all design and construction components of the project? (10%) • How is the team's track record of completing functional project goals on time and on budget? Are the end users satisfied that the project met all their objectives? (15 %) 2. Project Approach (30 %). Is the team's philosophy and approach to the Project - including program requirements, vision, and expectation of the Project's functionality appropriate? Does the team's Project Approach statement satisfactorily address specific methods or processes they would use to ensure a successful collaboration with all of the Project stakeholders, Including City officials, staff, and community members? 3. Design Management Approach (20 %). Is the stated design management approach (including managing the intended scope of work and related professional services to assure the timely and cost effective completion of the Project, working with the City's team, Quality Assurance /Quality Control, and the incorporation of LEED and other sustainable elements) appropriate? Are there unique qualifications of the team in terms of design management? The Committee will recommend teams to the City Council as Part 1 concludes. The City Council will use similar criteria to review, modify, or accept the Committee's recommendations.
