City Hall and Park Master Plan Design Competition
The scope of work for the City Hall and Park Master Plan Design Competition includes
the following:
• Understand existing physical constraints, Council's General Design Parameters, all
applicable codes and laws, and other requirements affecting this project. 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 (sSee 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.

MISSION BAT The Mission Bay Master Plan is aTansit- first" development in effect
MASTER PLAN anchored by the Giants AT &T Park and new UCSF campus. The Mission
San Francisco. California Bay Plan draws upon San Francisco's historical city fabric to establish its
plan based upon Vioget's 1839 San Francisco city block. The designers
researched and studied the block structure of San Francisco and other
cities throughout history to achieve optimum block dimensions. The result
is a block structure which will be small enough for ease of pedestrian
1 A
flow, yet large enough for efficient economic development. Additionally, the block arrangement
provides highly efficient utility distribution. Mission Bay is an urban mixed -use neighborhood that
integrates and enhances the City's street framework and open space system. Because the plan builds
upon previous investigations and recommendations, it was developed in a compressed time frame. Yet
the results reflect the strongest assets of previous plans: orientation to water; integration of North and
South of Channel development via series of open spaces which eventually lead to the water: location
of lower elements at the water: build to property line - street walls; capture "Urban" Village sense of
place; and maintain percentage of open space.
L
C O N E X A N T The Conexant site is approximately 25 acres, and has been identified as a
MASTER PLAN potential site for the location of a Mixed -Use Village consistent with the
Newport Beach, California newly adopted General Plan amendment in the City of Newport Beach.
The Conceptual Master Plan will look at the development potential on
the identified site, and include exploration of possible connections to the
adjacent Koll properties as part of an overall development strategy. Program
elements of this village will include multi - family home sites, mixed -use retail
and residential buildings, and a hotel among others.

The first concept is that an economic benefit can be realized by
sharing facilities among levels of government. Benefits can be derived
by sharing existing facilities, but an even greater opportunity exists
for sharing facilities in the future. The sharing of future facilities also
provides an opportunity to plan facility locations so that these facilities
support the urban design goals of this Plan. The second concept is

METHODOLOP
Our approach to the design of each project in the office is to first identify speck client needs, programs,
technical requirements, and budget. The process of programming confirmation will require an intense
collaborative effort between the Client and our design team. The former provides the specfic cultural
details, goals and objectives, specific concerns and projections concerning the future, while the latter brings
the experience, creativity, and leadership necessary to develop a detailed "profile" of the project. By means
of extensive verbal, written and graphic exchanges, the issues will be articulated and resolved.
With this as background, we simultaneously begin to research the site to understand both its particular
character as well as the spatial and processional possibilities for movement to and within the site area. The
confluence of these two related investigations leads us to a range of design solutions, each with differing
strengths. Together, with our clients, we focus on a single design direction. It is this direction which inspires
and propels the development of greater detail and craftsmanship in the final building.
APPROACH — Architecture and Planning
Johnson Fain subscribes to the classic principles of Civic Architecture: A City Hall shall represent the dignity
of the people, the importance of the activities within the City Hall, and the stability of the City. We further
recognize that as the world has become more complex, so its judgment of what constitutes excellence in a
work of architecture is more complex.
It is widely acknowledged today that concerns regarding longevity. accessibility, community, sustalnability,
productrvdy, security and fiscal responsibility are all- important and must be forcefully addressed in our public
architecture. Still, true excellence as embodied in a lasting work of art must also shine with the life force of
creativity and a sense of the new, as well as promote timeless values of human worth.
To us, this challenge suggests an attitude we describe as modern classicism. State of the art technology and
security, and modem levels of accessibility are provided within an architectural framework that is classic and
timeless.
So, there are in a sense pragmatic and symbolic stratospheres through which great public architecture must
ascend in order to fully define excellence. To the mature designer, these two spheres are not mutually exclusive.
In fact, the designer draws from the palette of the former in order to create the latter. The accommodation of
present day concerns. codes, strategies, and aspirations are important resources for the architect to create an
environment both of our own time and of the timelessness of all great public works of art.
Taken one at a time. LONGEVITY in architecture can refer to issues ranging from architectural style, which
bypasses momentary relevance in favor of long -term public relevance, to the creation of flexible systems
that will accommodate unforeseen change in program, use. and technologies. From another perspective,
longevity is a reminder to
• Identify finishes, building hardware, and operating systems, that are easily maintainable, cost effective, and
energy efficient:
• Design key building proportions to allow conversion of office space to other uses.
ACCESSIBILITY speaks to our embrace of diversity. Whether referring to accommodations for persons
with disabilities, or the development of visual values and symbols in the architecture legible to a broad and
diverse audience. notions of accessibility encourage us to create an environment that is public, inclusive, and
dignified.
• Design strong and axial processional patterns through the building, a rich mixture of pure spatial volumes,
and a strong visual connection to a landscape that is ordered and pure.
• Create a clear, logical and memorable circulation pattern that invites intuitive way - finding by all user
groups, i.e., public, staff and officials. Further enhance the way - finding aesthetic experience using natural
light, color, appropriate signage and quality, lasting furnishings and finishes.
COMMUNITY is in some ways a resurrection of our common past, which calls us to build great public
buildings to serve the whole public.
• Consensus and inspiration are key elements in understanding a single project within the larger physical
and social community.
• Even as a unique expression, the budding must be of its place, responding to the realities of local
context, climate and culture.
SUSTAINABILITY is the often -used term describing complex and life- affirming attitudes by minimizing the
environmental impact of our building over its l fespan, developing an intelligent waste management policy,
and supporting strict energy efficiency in all phases of our new project's life. from preliminary planning through
occupancy. This is in effect the creation of a culture that constantly self- educates and increases its mindfulness
of global and regional health issues.
• Design to LEED standards; exceed Title 24 thresholds; CFL lamps; low -flow fixtures:
rainwater capture.
• Augment conservation measures to accommodate possible use of alternative energy, e.g..
photo- voltaics.
PRODUCTIVITY and performance have been constant bywords in the realms of technology and software
development, as well as in management theory. The most closely watched topic today is the relationship
between environmental quality and human productivity.
• Exploit the phenomenon that enormous improvements to performance and satisfaction are often
made by modest improvements to the qualitative environment.
• Make extenor and interior public spaces visible, serene, and supportive both as orientation devices
within the overall building as well as a reflection of composure and emotional relief. Visually connect
the inner workings of this institution with the larger issues of nature and activities in the communities
beyond the walls.
SECURITY, always a critical issue in public facilities, has become ever more crucial in the world -wide political
context in which we find ourselves today. We must address both the functional realities of multiple circulation
systems, hardened architectural elements and electronic surveillance systems while welcoming the public
served into a positive, safe and open experience.
• While the building must be a secure environment, it is our goal that where possible, security measures
should be relatively "softscaped" in order to de- priontize their visual presence and increase the
emphasis on accessibility and public well - being.
• Emphasize natural lighting wherever possible: the presence of natural light in the building is important
to provide visual relief.
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY is both a specific ongoing budgeting process and the all -
important and underlying notion of public stewardship and trust in the execution of
public acts and projects of scale.
• Use Life Cycle Cost Analyses and 25 -year cycle to ensure long -term project value.
• Ensure fiscal accountability by means of responsible and continual communication between the design,
construction, and busness sides of the project delivery triangle.
APPROACH - Landscape & Park Design
The landscape for Newport Beach City Hall will be a wonderful amenity and a landmark civic space for
residents, employees and visitors of the area. It must create an imageable and cohesive experience and unite
the existing library with the new development. For over 32 years Olin Partnership has been a leader in the
field of landscape architecture and urban design, creating some of the most celebrated spaces in the urban
sphere. Our commitment to the possibilities of the public realm. believing it to be where design can affect
the most positive change. is reflected in our creation of spaces known throughout the globe. The studio is
adept at addressing complex projects in various contexts and on a wide range of scales. This spans the master
planning of new governmental and historically significant sites to the design of vibrant public parks.
Each of Olin's designs respond to the natural and social history and processes that have shaped the place,
thereby honoring the spirit of each site. Our studio has no signature style and does not enter a project with a
prescriptive agenda. We view each project as a unique and distinct opportunity that must speak to its context,
environment and community. Every place has a culture - an ethos that informs its evolution and produces a
characteristic set of symbols, beliefs, traditions, and uses. Through research and analysis, we incorporate the
intrinsic qualities of the site into our design to ensure it is appropriate, integrated and embraced. Additionally,
we incorporate the three branches of sustainability - social. environmental and economic - throughout
our approach to provide a foundation of lasting success. Through this holistic approach, we will create an
integrated and dynamic landscape for Newport Beach.

DESIGN MANSMENT APPROACH: In anticipation o *our team's selection to participate
in the Design Competition, please describe your firm's philosophy and approach to
accomplishing Phases 11 and 111.
• State your approach, intended scope of vvrk and related professional services to assure the timely and cost
effective completion of the Project.
Summary Work Plan
Programming, Master Planning and Conceptual Design (as required, depending on Competition results)
Preprogramming: We will meet with the Client to obtain prior planning documents for the facility, determine
the key person interview list, and determine the structure of project decision- making for the Client. We will
also discuss physical goals and objectives for the project and other project parameters. With the Client,
we will develop and confirm a consulting team for the project. We will develop a research instrument/
questionnaire for documentation of the data gathered, customized as necessary to meet particular Client
needs. Sample forms are included at the end of this section.
Interviews /Data Confirmation: We will conduct key person interviews as required to generate program
data, and follow up as necessary to confirm the preliminary information and resolve any discrepancies.
Draft Program/Master Plan /Concept Diagrams: Based on the above, we will codify the program into a first
draft document. with appropriate introductory outline text. The information will be used a the basis for
generalized Concept Diagrams to test the overall fit between program objectives and ideal adjacencies. We
will review relevant planning and design documentation, reports and mapping related to the sites, plus a site
reconnaissance with photographic documentation and prepare conceptual site Master Plan altematives for
the facility.
Owner Review /Comment: The data generated above will be presented to the Client for discussion review
and comment. We have allowed one week for the Client and as project manager to obtain comments from
appropriate staff. resolve competing prionhes, A any, and determine the adjustments required for subsequent work.
Final Program /Master Plan /Concept Diagrams: Based on Client direction, we will prepare a
final program and concept diagrams, incorporating minor changes and /or adjustments as required. A final
presentation will be made of the findings, supported by updated concept drawings and other materials as
required to present the preferred overall program and diagrammatic layout. Completed document booklets
will be provided to the Client.
Schematic Design: Based on the approved approach generated above, we will prepare Schematic
Design Documents for Client approval, consisting of drawings and other documents illustrating the scale and
relationship of project components. We will make initial contacts with the appropriate regulatory agencies
for purposes of preliminary reviews, as appropriate. A preliminary estimate of probable construction costs
will be generated.
Design Development: Based on approved Schematic Design documents generated above. we will
prepare Design Development Documents for approval by the Client. These will consist of drawings and
other documents to fix and describe the size and character of the project as to architectural structural.
mechanical, piping and electrical systems, and such other elements as may be appropriate. An updated
preliminary estimate of probable construction costs will be generated as the design is developed.
Construction Documents: Based on approved Design Development documents generated above, we
will prepare Construction Documents for the project for approval by the Client. These documents will
consist of drawings and specifications setting forth in detail the requirements for construction of the project.
The architecture and engineering packages will be submitted for 5096 and 9096 working drawing review by
the Client. We will prepare documents necessary for submission to the Client and other agencies and will
assist in obtaining building permits for the project.
Construction Administration: We approach Construction Administration as no less important than
development of the initial concept. The project is continually monitored by its designated Project Manager and
staff as required, including Principals, designers, Job Captain, technical architects or drafters, as appropriate.
• Discuss your approach to managing Project design services and coordinating w,th the City's team including
Crry Budding officials.
MANAGEMENT OF SCHEDULE AN BUDGET: Johnson Fain utilizes a number oPmeans to manage its
own resources and those of the Design Team for the timely completion of projects. These include:
Team -Owner Consensus: At project inception, we will confirm all project logistics in detail with all parties:
Agreed -upon lines of communication: Critical path product flows; Detailed project schedule: Approval
Milestones; Responsibilities of all Team members, including all consultants and Owner.
Initial /Ongoing Agency Coordination: We typically meet early and often with affected City departments
that have regulatory control over our projects, including building department, fire, public works, planning and
so forth. to identify agency concerns and regulations immediately upon award of the project, as well as at
appropriate milestones as the project progresses.
Regular Meeting Schedule: We schedule regular Owner reviews and Team Meetings in order to monitor
the progress of design, and to keep Owner and Team fully informed. We approach Owner review meetings
as rigorous evaluation sessions for the testing of ideas and the timely advancement of the design process.
Decision and Meeting Documentation: We provide memoranda documentation of all approvals,
corrections and other "action items" in written form, including telephone calls. Provide memoranda
documentation of all client and consultant meetings, distributed to Owner and consultant team.
Efficient Document Distribution: Both hard -copy and electronic format via dedicated project FTP site.
•
Describe your approach to assuring timely completion of this Project, including methods for schedule
recovery, if necessary.
COST AND SCHEDULE CONTROL MEASURES
Proven Experience: Recent Project Examples: Johnson Fain has successfully completed projects with values
ranging up to $1.5 billion in value. Recent experience includes on -time, on- budget design of projects totaling
more than $1 billion:
*Capitol Area East End Complex, Sacramento
-Solana County Government Center
*Playa Vista Library, Los Angeles
•Junipero Serra State Office Building, Los Angeles
-Amgen, buildings 27, 28 & 38, and Parking Structures PS -3 & PS -6 Thousand Oaks, CA.
-MGM Tower, Fox Plaza and SunAmerica Center, Century City CA.
Nearly all of the projects in our portfolio over the last several years have been designed in a climate of using
construction costs. Nonetheless, all of the projects above have met their budget goals and schedule by
means of the management approach, including: Strict Management of Schedule and Budget; Sophisticated
and experienced Construction Cost Estimating; On -going construction cost estimating and Value Engineering;
Efficient document production; Appropriate Quality Control (QNQC) Procedures by project Phase:
Continuity of Key Personnel throughout all project phases as required: Construction Phase: an Owner-
Architect- Contractor (OAC) team approach; and State -of- the -art CAD capabilities.
Timely Completion /Schedule Recovery/Fast Track /Phased Bid Capability: We routinely
complete fast- tracked projects and are fully capable of meeting any reasonable schedule. In our experience.
developing phased bid packages for critical areas of construction, such as foundations. curtain wall, structural
steel and mechanical and electrical equipment can accomplish the followng: Results in earlier completion
dates; Fixes prices early, and reduces price escalation on major building systems (especially effective in a slow
construction market): and Reduces interest charges for construction loans.
Cost /Budget Compliance = Continuous Total Cost Management
Detailed analysis at the early stages and continuous monitoring are keys to successful cost control on a project.
Cost estimates are prepared by specialist consultants who can bring global experience to the project. Johnson
Fain typically subcontracts with one of these recognized firms. We schedule Construction Cost Estimates at
the conclusion of each design phase, including Owner review, in order to monitor budget compliance and to
document approved add /subtract options: this results in a studied and continuous Value Engineering process
which can avoid costly eleventh -hour changes.
The initial step is a thorough analysis for cost of program, site conditions, and architectural and engineering
requirements prior to commencement of design. Based upon this review a budget cost model is prepared.
The budget cost model will form the basis for construction cost control throughout the design stage. This
cost model should be compared with a predetermined budget, and adjusted to reflect necessary changes
to program or construction components to ensure that the project can proceed into the design phases with
program and budget aligned. This is the most critical stage of the project for cost reconciliation.
Experience has shown that a Total Cost Management approach to cost estimating is the most effective
method for managing and controlling the cost of construction during the design phase. TCM services include
attending b;-weekly meetings throughout the design stage to review in- progress documentation from the
design team and reporting on a bi- weekly schedule as to the cost impacts of the design information received.
The Owner and Design Team therefore are informed on a regular basis as to the budget status and cost
trends, and, if necessary, adjustments can be made to the design of the project to protect the budget for
construction.
Production Capability: Johnson Fain is a fully - staffed architectural office with no need to "farm -out"
any portion of its drawing production. Our capabilities include all phases of project development, from
Research and Conceptual Design through Schematics, Design Development, Construction Documents.
Bid/Negotiations and Construction Administration phases of work. Al documents are based on established
Johnson Fain standards to maintain consistency and accuracy from project to project.
Construction Administration Approach: we approach Construction Administration as no less
important than development of the initial concept. The project is continually monitored by its designated
Project Manager and staff as required, including Principals. designers. Job Captain, technical architects or
drafters, as appropriate.
Submittal Processing: The Project Architect and technical design team is responsible for the review and
processing of all RFI's and submittals. The project Expediter is responsible for receiving, logging, distributing
and tracking of all submittals. Once the consultants have reviewed and responded to the dem, it is then
returned to Johnson Fain where a Project Architect approves the response. Finally, Johnson Fain transmits
those responses back to the contractor. This ensures timely response to construction issues and enables
proper monitoring of budget and schedule.
. Site Meetings: the Project Manager and Project Architect attend all Owner- Architect- Contractor (CAC)
mee *,:ngs.
Field Observation: The Project Architect is responsible for periodic field observation and site walks, and
subsequent preparation of Field Notes.
Submittal Coordinator: The office uses full -time Submittal Coordinators to assist the Project Architect
and design team in processing and tracking all RFI's and submittals, such as shop drawings. Change Orders,
Approval Letters and appropriate Applications for Payment„ thereby ensuring timely tum- around and
schedule compliance.
• Describe your quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program. Explain methods and practices used
to ensure QA/QC during the design phase of the project.
Quality Assurance /Quality Control: Al phases of work are overseen by senor licensed architects
to maintain quality control. Quality Assurance /Quality Control efforts begin from the start of the project.
The team will review the design package and construction documents at appropriate milestones at the
end of Schematic Design, Design Development. and at the 50% and 85% milestones of Construction
Documents.
Another senior staff not involved in the project will review the construction documents at these milestones
for quality control. A system of check lists is used to review construction details and double -check the
coordination of disciplines. The emphasis is on producing complete, well - coordinated and accurate
construction documentation to prevent unnecessary and expensive problems and change orders during
construction.
Continuity of Key Personnel /Coordination of Designer Involvement: The organization of the project does
not change composition during construction. Only the hourly profile changes, since key persons continue
El
through the project as needed from day one to completion. A smooth transition between design phases and
construction is ensured by our studio design concept, maintaining the project team and designated Project
Manager from project inception through completion, and the continued participation of the Design Partner
and Designer as needed throughout the Construction Phase.
• Describe your opproach in incorporating LEED and sustainable design into the Project.
LEED and sustainable design features are "built-in" to the project at the earliest possible time. In most of our
major projects. a LEED /Green Systems Consultant is on our design team from the outset. Our approach
assumes that project siting and basic building materials are an appropriate starting point, moving on to Green
Systems for Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing, high - performance glazing, and energy - efficient lighting. We
have designed a State building to Platinum standards, others to Gold and Silver, still others to Certified
equivalency.
We look first to standards the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) benchmarks, for guidance in such areas as: Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Resources;
Materials: Site ODportun:ties:.Air QUalih;: and Community Issues.
Case Study: Capitol Area East End Complex: The Project features respond to California AB 2432 for
energy efficiency and green budding standards. Architectural Systems: Computer based energy -use model
(DOE -2) to maximize energy efficiency accounting for space, population. and time of day. High performance
glazing reduces cooling load. Two -story arcades provide shade. Open workstations at perimeters increase
day - lighting. Mechanical Systems powered by alternative energy source. Centralized domestic drinking
water and water heating systems eliminate multiple units. Centralized circulated water system per building
saves energy. reduces pollutants, and provides superior water quality. Energy efficient T -8 fluorescent lamps
with reduced mercury content. full - spectrum fluorescent fixtures increase energy savings. Green Building
Standards included address: (1) Water conservation. (2) Construction / Demolition Waste management (3)
Use of Recycled Materials (4) Alternative Energy (5) Indoor Air Quality (6) Daylighting (7) Recycling rooms at
each floor (8) Recharging stations for electric vehicles. (9) Preferred parking for Alternative Fuel vehicles and
car- pools, plus bicycle lockers and showers. Standards from the project manual specify minimum recycled
content as in the addition of fly ash to concrete mix. as well as for steel, glass. drywall, paving, carpet. low
off- gassing, and recycled plastics in site furniture resulting in exceeding a stricter version of Title 24 by 30
percent.
Landscape Design Management Approach
Scope - Olin Partnership will provide full landscape architectural planning and urban design services. We will
create collaborate with Johnson Fain to develop a successful master plan and an active civic park setting for
Newport Beach with sustainable design solutions to ensure its long -term success and use
Management and Coordination - All projects within Olin's studio are led by a Principal and Associate who
actively manage the Project and have clear roles in that management. Under Johnson Fain's leadership,
Lucinda Sanders will be the Principal -in -Charge at Olin and will lead the project team to accomplish the goals
and objectives of the project design. and participate in key presentations and meetings with the City's team.
Our studio believes in the power of collaboration, the most important being the collaboration between the
design team and client. It is our intent to work in unison with the City to full their vision and goals for this
project.
Timely Completion - Throughout a project's life, we remain committed to its success, developing innovative
solutions with a high level of artistry and craftsmanship. It is our studio's mission to serve each and every client
and to meet their goals, regardless of the challenges. Through timely response and constant and collegial
communication, we endeavor to avoid problems before they begin.
Quality Control - In -house document review sessions are integral to our overall project approach. These
schedules are established and updated by the Associate and approved by the Principal -in- Charge. Other
Principals and /or Associates are assigned to conduct independent reviews of drawings, specifications, and
reports. Documents are annotated with comments and corrections. reviewed with the team, and a schedule
for revisions is determined. Document reviews are coordinated by the Project Delivery Partner, Robert
Bedell, as part of Olin Partnership's efforts to achieve the highest quality product for our clients.

LEED - Sustainabilrty has been a part of the Olin Partnership design and planning ethic since the inception of
the firm over 32 years ago, before the term was formally codified. The essence of the site and discovering
its unique sense of place. cultural as well as ecological, has historically informed our work. Selecting durable
and regionally appropriate materials, whose over -life costs minimize waste and consumption, conserves
matenals, resources and respects the site's local identity. We regularly collaborate with project engineers to
create landscape features that clean, collect and reuse storm water as well as conserve energy. While actively
promoting the implementation of innovative environmental technologies in our projects, we believe true
sustainability, in today's complex realm can only be achieved by creating places that are inherently socially
uplifting, and encourage interaction between people, while fitting harmoniously within a site's given context.
Olin delivers successful projects that consider their social, economic and environmental sustainability. Our
studio has successfully completed over a dozen LEED certified projects and several others that are awaiting
certification.

sensitive landscapes in the US, including the Washington Monument in Washington, DC; Independence
National Historical Park in Philadelphia. PA; and The Presidio in San Francisco. CA. We will bring this sensitivity
and expertise to create a new, vibrant and democratic Newport Beach City Hall open space.
Computerization /Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling(BIM):
Johnson Fain began integrating computers in 1984 and has evolved into a fully computerized office utilizing
the latest design, visualization and documentation tools throughout all aspects of our professional services.
Most recently the latest technology of BIM (Building Information Modeling) has been implemented to help
/ W W
us become more efficient, detailed. and accurate in coordinating the design with the documentation process
throughout all phases of the project. A I
Our Architectural/Interior Design and Urban Planning studios utilize a wealth of the latest 2D/3 -D applications,
namely AutoCAD, CorelDraw. Sketchup, Rhino and AutoCAD Civil 3D to two dimensionally draft or build
three dimensional form studies. Later these files are imported into other rendenng/animation and graphic
packages, such as 3D Studio MAX/VIZ and Photoshop where Photorealistic Materials, Lighting, and Site
Context are applied to further study, enhance. and communicate the design solution. The office also utilizes
the latest technology of 3 -D Printing that allows us to send 3 -D Computer - generated files to a 3 -D Printer
that automates the building of accurate models, layer by layer using durable ABS plastic, allowing us to not
only evaluate design concepts, but test them in a contextual site model.

SUBJECT: SELECTION OF FIVE FINALISTS FOR CITY HALL AND PARK DESIGN
COMPETITION
ISSUE:
What firms or teams shall the City select as finalists for the Design Competition for City
Hall and the Park?
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;

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

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.
