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.

Dear Dave:

D ±. n
LPA takes great pride in submitting our qualifications to you and the City Hall Design Committee for the design of
the City Hall Master Planned Facility Project. As you are most likely aware, LPA is a multi - disciplined fimi founded
in 1965 with over 230 employees providing services in architecture, planning, landscape architecture, interior design
and graphic services. Since last we met, LPA has taken on the challenge to become one of the few firms nationwide
to provide an integrated design approach to all projects.This integrated design team now includes in house mechanical,
plumbing and structural services. This approach allows LPA to provide a holistic approach to all project solutions.
We feel this integrated team is uniquely qualified to provide value to the City of Newport Beach for the following
reasons:
Unique Combination of Expertise: LPA offers a wide variety of civic project experience which includes City Halls,
libraries, Police Facilities, Community Centers and Fire Stations. We have completed eight City Hall facilities
throughout the state of California. Additionally, LPA has recently added full service park design to our list of services.
This combined knowledge makes LPA the perfect choice for the Newport Beach City Hall Master Plan project. LPA
has developed a practical approach to design that provides our clients with timely information to make appropriate
decisions. This practical information is then layered with the poetic aspects of design to create a solution that is
functional, cost effective and yet representative of the unique nature of our clients and the communities with which
we serve.
Leadership in Sustainable Design / LEED: LPA is a recognized leader in LEED certified sustainable design. In
the past several years, LPA has completed five LEED certified projects with over forty more projects currently in
development. This includes what is most likely to become the first LEED Certified Platinum building in Orange
County for the Environmental Nature Center located in Newport Beach. In a time of dwindling natural resources and
escalating life cycle costs, consideration of sustainable design options is becoming more imperative for building owners.
With over 130 LE ED Accredited Professionals on staff, LPA would bring our unique expertise to this venture.
Team: Jim Wirick will lead the team of Rick D'Amato, Chris Lentz, Larry Chui and Joe Yee.This team has over twelve
years of experience working together on a variety of civic projects.
Our common references and projects are listed on the experience table in Section 2 of this proposal.The single person
contact for the RFQ review process is Jim Wirick, Principal (949) 701 -4144 or jwirick @lpainc.com
Local Expertise: Our previous experience with the City of Newport Beach will be fundamental to this effort. Many of
our office staff lives within the City of Newport Beach and our offices are only minutes away from the existing City
Hall allowing for ease of coordination.
Multi - disciplined Firm: As the client, The City of Newport Beach will benefit from the in -house capabilities of
architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, interior design, graphics, and entitlement services offered by LPA.
This multi - disciplined approach to design gives LPA the flexibility to move project dollars to where they can best serve
the client and the project solution.
We look forward to meeting with the City of Newport Beach to discuss the potential of collaborating on the design for
the new City Hall Master Planned Facility. By virtue of submission of the following information, LPA, Inc. declares
that all information provided is, to the best of our knowledge, true and correct and that the firm or teams can complete
the Project as described.
Sincerely
Jim Wirick, AIA, LEED AP

VALUE ARCHITECTURE
We practice a cost effective approach to architecture,
we want to exceed expectations, not budgets: we do not
design projects our clients cannot afford. Our internal
management structure is organized so that budget and
schedules are monitored on a regular basis with the
client and consulting teams. LPA's record of managing
projects that are on time, on budget and have change
orders under industry standards is supported by the fact
that 900% of our clients are repeat or referral.

The design of The Town Center C vrc Park was a collaborative effort, of client, citizens,
developer and design profession to Create a unique civic Identity, through Historical 6
Cultural Research and Public Workshops. This historic journey gave the community a sense
of pride in their roots and created a sense of place that could only belong to the citizens
in this Valley. As a result of this exploration each building, and the civic park, includes an
element representing the local Native American spirits for Water, Fire, Sun and Wind.

PROJECT APPROACH •
The Newport City Hall project design
has the ability to transcend time through
thoughtful planning, integrated architecture
and a smart environmental approach.
So many architects and designers working today aspire
to elevate their own fragile egos. LPA feels that public
architecture has the ability to support, compliment
and elevate the community with which it serves. LPA
offers a collaborative approach to the completion of all
public work. A collaborative approach which will prove
to engender the community, the Council and the user
groups to the final product. By actively listening to the
goals of the project and the project team, LPA will arrive
at the best possible solutions which will not only meet
but exceed the universal goals of the process.
LPA is committed to a collaborative atmosphere where
no idea is unexplored. LPA plans on implementing a
consensus building process that ensures that the project
is specific for its situation and free of any preconceived
ideas or concepts. Critical to the LPA approach, is the
inherent ability to establish a close working relationship
with the city as well as the design committee and
user groups to develop the building requirements and
management strategies.
The LPA design and documentation process provides a
consistent method of presenting project documentation
to the target audience. Our objective will be to reach out
to all participants and communicate information that is
easily understood by each individual involved with the
process.
Due to the competitive nature of the initial phase of
the design process, LPA plans to rely on a wealth of
knowledge gained about the project requirements
through the previous design completed for the City Hall
by LPA. Sensitive working relationships and working
strategies as well as public space requirements and
community amenities which could potentially apply to
this new and exciting site will be exploited. The dramatic
site, however, will drastically effect the overall nature of
the design approach. Site sensitive issues such as view
corridors, relationships to existing public buildings and
relationships to open space and park area will all affect
the design strategies.
The nature of the design must not only support the
existing library, but enhance the functionality of the
facility as well as serve the New City Hall. Parking
and open space could potentially combine to create a
welcoming courtyard approach to a parking area and
structure that also works to unite this new Civic Center.
LPA sees the infrastructure and framework as a vital
key to the success of the solution. All decisions and
directions will be challenged with the question; how can
this City Hall make everything around it better?
0
PAGE 24
Understanding the opportunities and constraints of
the site will determine the building placement and
orientation. The LPA site analysis process includes
passive sustainable design strategies, site circulation and
the incorporation of historical narratives and context.
The information developed will give the design team a
framework and a rationale for how the project will most
effectively address the specialized issues of the site and
the site context.
The process of design is the integration of the specific
program and site analysis data gathered. Together these
two items provide the "tools" to express the building
form, function and shape.
While the initial phase of the competition prohibits
interaction with the design committee or the user group,
it is the intention of LPA to adapt the proposed design
direction to specifically address the needs and concerns
of the community, the committee and the user group.
The "winning" solution should be regarded as a starting
point for the design and should in no way be considered
"final ". Any firm that believes that the specialized needs
of the City of Newport Beach could be met within the
vacuum of a design competition does not understand
the nature of public architecture or the City of Newport
Beach. It is the joint effort and collaboration of all
participants that will ultimately determine the design
direction of the project.
The design for the Newport Beach City Hall will be in a
word; responsive. With a multitude of outside influences,
the facility must have the ability to strengthen and
support the community while at the same time providing
an appropriate civic statement.
A public project such as this has the ability to inspire
and enlighten. It is the goal of LPA to translate the
dreams of the City of Newport Beach into a successful,
environmental solution that is unique to the community.
LPA is honored and excited to potentially be part of
this very significant project and we welcome the many
opportunities and challenges that it promises.

PROJECT MANAGEMEP
Working in concert with our Design
Philosophy, LPA's approach to Project
Management is based on collaboration,
communication and consistency.
LPA acts as a central source for all project information;
and through interaction with the City of Newport Beach,
specialized consultants, and ultimately the general
contractor, we manage the design, documentation, and
entitlement processes. LPA then provides assistance
to the client with bidding and construction efforts to
achieve a successful project completion.
LPA's management approach utilizes strategies and
tools designed to ensure we have "listened" to the client
and are implementing their stated goals in an effective
manner. We consider our process to be "transparent"
with all work products available to the client at all times.
Following is a description of the LPA management
tools.
PROJECTSCHEDULE Effective Project Management
begins with the development of a working project
schedule. LPA will assist the City in the establishment
of critical project milestones, which could include
submittal deadlines, critical entitlement processes,
approval milestones and targets. Once established,
these milestones form the basis for the development of
the project schedule, and inform the process for timely
management of the project.
The schedule includes project tasks from design through
construction, and can include multiple delivery phases
if necessary. LPA produces the schedule in Microsoft
Project format. Tasks identified typically include
design committee meetings, focused support staff
meetings such as client reviews, architectural team/
consultant meetings, entitlement processes /submittal
milestones, cost estimating activities, coordination
and constructability review periods, bid document
preparation, and target bid dates.
LPA monitors and updates the project schedule regularly
• PAGE 34
to provide the Owner with proactive information on
potential impacts, and to give a gauge for our team's
performance. Prior to any critical meeting with the client,
LPA will meet with staff to review presentation materials,
discuss agenda topics, and set strategic outcome goals in
order to aOiieve success.
PROJECT RECORD BOOK Every project at LPA has
a Project Record Book that is maintained by the Project
Manager. It contains all the vital project information
including the program, meeting minutes, correspondence,
schedules, and estimates. LPA can easily duplicate it for
the client at any point during the project's development,
or as a final record of the process at the conclusion of
the job.
MEETING MINUTES LPA staff records minutes
at design meetings they attend. The minutes are task
driven, and clearly define action that may be required,
and list the party responsible.
COST ESTIMATES As part of our Basic Services,
LPA typically includes Cumming, LLC as an independent
outside cost estimating member of our team. They
perform concurrent budget checks at upon conclusion
of Schematic Design, Design Development, and
Construction Documents phases. Any Value Engineering
needed to maintain conformance with the project budget
is done in consultation with the client staff and planning
committee.
QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES The LPA
approach to quality control and assurance grows out of
our Project Management procedures foundation. Quality
Control focuses processes on the identification and
resolution of coordination issues between the disciplines in
the preparation of the construction documents. Additional
tasks include a verification process that the client's design
requirements were implemented effectively. The following
is a listing of the tasks that LPA performs as part of our
Quality Control process.

QUALITY CONTROL 0
INTERDISCIPLINARY COORDINATION LPA has
taken a systematic approach to continuous quality
improvement that involves every member of our firm.
Total Quality Management (TQM) involves regular
reviews and it is a management process focused on
prevention rather than correction. By constantly
involving the client throughout the various design and
documentation stages, problems are identified and
solutions are created before action becomes impractical
or ineffective.
Regular reviews during the documentation phases involve
the use of the patented REDICHECK Interdisciplinary
Coordination developed by William T. Nigro, AIA. The
concept is based on the sequence of construction. In a
typical construction contract, the contractor will work
from the civil drawings first, structural drawings second,
plumbing drawings third, electrical and mechanical
drawings fourth, and the architectural drawings last.
REDICHECK consists of procedural instructions and
an interdisciplinary checklist, based on the order of
construction. The earlier discrepancies are located in the
design process, the easier they are to solve, minimizing
the schedule and construction cost impacts.
The key to REDICHECK is that a representative of each
discipline is present at each coordination meeting, in
addition to the Project Manager. Before a project begins,
the Project Manager schedules specific blocks of time
for coordination meetings and final reviews. Frequently,
when an item thought to affect only two disciplines
is discussed, the result is that one or more additional
disciplines are also affected. Each item on the checklist
is coordinated. When a coordination discrepancy is
found, disciplines affected by the solution are notified.
While the REDICHECK system requires checklist items
to be coordinated at the 50% and 90% construction
document completion levels, LPA strives to avoid
conflicts. Starting in Schematic Design, we utilize
the checklist as a living document, incorporating the
coordination check concepts throughout the process.
The final 90% review is made using, as a second set of
eyes, senior members of the firm who were not directly
responsible for the project development. The results of
our final review process, the checklist, are published for
all members of the design team, and the client if desired.
• PAGE 35
All coordination issues are resolved before documents
are approved and issued for bid.
We have also found it beneficial to include client staff
in the coordination review process. Seeking input
from the construction, facilities, and M &O staff in
the identification and resolution of coordination issues
ensures that the client is satisfied with all aspects of the
design, and provides confidence that the documents are
ready for bid and construction. This process familiarizes
client staff with the details of the project leading to
more effective and timely response to issues that arise
during construction.
CLIENT GOALS VERIFICATION Upon conclusion
o the Design Development phase, the LPA Project
Manager reviews the documents against the Program
and Design Committee minutes to determine if they
meet the client's goals, and incorporated the client's
design requirements. Also at that time the project
square footages are confirmed, utilities located to
accommodate fixtures /equipment, floor plans and
interior elevations verified for the desired storage and
functional amenities discussed during the process.
CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEW In addition to our
internal REDICHECK process, LPA frequently works
with an outside Constructability Review consultant to
review our plans and specifications. This review can
be performed by an independent outside firm, or a
Program /Construction Manager. We have found this
process, and the final report that is produced, helpful
in providing a well- coordinated set of construction
document plans and specifications. The interdisciplinary
coordination services provided are typically performed
by engineering staff within the discipline they are plan
checking. This expertise will provide the client with
a clear and concise set of documents having minimal
room for change orders.

ENERGY EFFICIENT D•IGN APPROACH •
INTEGRATED DESIGN APPROACH
The team's design strategy will bean integrated approach
both within the design team and with the owner and
occupants. This approach starts at the very beginning
of the project with consideration of all aspects from
environmental impact assessment, site remediation,
program development, transportation strategy and
design. By integrating all the disciplines during the
design process, issues and options can be considered
that best match stakeholder priorities with minimal
environmental impact. These issues and options are
evaluated and categorized through such processes as
energy modeling, life cycle costing, and the comparative
expense, recyclability and pollutive effects of materials.
LPA's software program "LIDT""' will help organize
the LEED" and Energy Efficient design process for
the Newport Beach City Hall project. This software
program created and developed by LPA will be used
during the Green Charette and will establish a baseline
for all future sustainable studies.
The tool will be continuously updated during the design
process. During the Green Charette, this program will be
revised and updated as we move through the five LEED*
categories so that at the end of the two day charette, the
document will represent the sustainable strategies that
will be explored for the project while keeping a running
total of the points and cost during the process.
At the "Green Charette" the following sustainable
strategies will all be reviewed and an action plan will be
developed for each:
Energy Sources
Before selecting energy systems the local utility market
will be examined. Power reliability is definitely a major
issue in the short term and could continue to be an issue
if power generation does not increase. Energy should be
purchased at economic rates from the cleanest source -
minimizing pollution of the local and global atmosphere.
The need for reliability and increased utility costs make
the economics of on -site generation more attractive.
Low Energy Design Analysis
Our team is experienced at identifying opportunities
to use low energy design options and to analyze the
economic, technical and energy use impact of different
systems, including low energy design features and
renewable energy techniques. We have successfully
designed buildings which maximize the use of daylight,
natural ventilation, passive and active solar heating and
cooling, photovoltaics, evaporative air cooling systems,
raised floor access HVAC systems, wind derived
electricity, fuel cells, load management strategies, and
thermal and electrical energy storage systems.
PAGE 36
The maximum benefits for these systems can be obtained
if the building form, site orientation and envelope are
optimized. By maximizing the engineering systems
efficiency, considerable energy savings can be realized.
The number and combination of energy efficient systems
is significant, and each design requires a full assessment.
It is important to select components of the systems
that will operate at maximum efficiency under the
selected operating conditions. Important equipment
includes: high efficiency electric motors, properly sized
chillers, variable speed drives, high efficiency lamps and
electronic ballasts, and air and water side economizer
cycles.
Thermal Energy Storage
Thermal Energy Storage using the mass of a building
or the earth to shift peaks in load from periods of high
energy cost to lower energy cost can result in energy
savings.
Building Envelope
The building envelope needs to be fixed early in design and
is crucial to the overall energy performance. Important
factors include the amount of insulation, area of glazing,
solarand light transmittance of glazing, external shading,
and ventilated glazing.
Fagade Performance & Passive Design
A building is a series of systems, which should be
designed in parallel if they are to be optimized. At a
macro and micro scale the energy that flows through the
building envelope should be studied and optimized for
the local climate and particular building use. Unwanted
solar heat should be limited, welcome passive heating
in winter should be encouraged and glare free daylight
allowed to penetrate. At the same time thermal mass
to dampen summer heat gain should be capitalized.
Where the planning, fagade and fabric of the building
are carefully matched it is possible to develop designs
which are naturally ventilated for all or part of their
operation.
Active Systems
Active systems are at their most efficient when selected
to match fa4ade performance. Attention needs to be
paid to the payback periods of different systems and
their ability to adapt to changing use and loads.
Modeling
An energy model of the building will be developed early
on and modified as the design develops to track the
design as it evolves against the established energy budget
of 50% better than ASHRAE /ISENA Standard 90.1 -
2004. With the benefit of energy modeling informed
decisions about systems and fagade can be made and
the building benchmarked against the requirement.

ENERGY EFFICIENT D•IGN APPROACH •
Materials
The use of materials in constructing and operating
buildings is a major draw on the earth's resources.
The principles of reduce, reuse, recycle is particularly
pertinent to materials selection:
• Reduce: Wherever possible reduce the amount of
material needed
• Reuse: Plan and design for re -use of space, materials,
systems and components
• Recycle: Use recycled materials, use recyclable
materials
Examples of reduction include lowering the number
of layers in wall and floor sandwiches (using exposed
structural elements instead of covering them with furring
and suspended ceilings), minimizing construction waste
by carefully managing waste streams from the job site.
Selection of materials with high recycled content and/
or with good potential for recycling at the end of the
building's life. Additionally, during specification vendors
should be evaluated for good environmental practice
consistent with ISO 9000 and for low pollution during
production. These choices should be carefully spelled
out in specifications and enforced during the shop
drawing and construction process.
Natural Ventilation
LPA and its consultant team is currently involved in a
number of projects that involve full or partial natural
ventilation. Natural ventilation is highly desirable not
only because it is energy efficient and helps to conserve
natural resources, but also for human physiological
reasons. In other words, people generally enjoy the
connection to the outside.
Daylighting
Daylighting is desirable from an energy conservation
standpoint as well as a human physiological one. Daylit
spaces are more desirable to occupants because of the
connection to the outside. Increased use of daylighting
in buildings provides greater occupant satisfaction.
Daylighting also allows reduced electrical lighting
load, which represents a significant proportion of the
building's total consumption. Even a small reduction in
use can have a large payback over time.
Controls
Controls need to be considered concurrently with
systems and equipment as they allow the systems and
individual components to work at maximum efficiency.
Typical energy saving control systems which should be
considered are: occupancy sensors, daylight sensors,
supply air temperature reset, optimal start for cooling
and heating systems, software light switching systems,
and elevator optimization programs. More complex
controls, which may be required, are those for slab
cooling systems where predictive slow response systems
are necessary.
PAGE 37
First Cost and Life -Cycle Economic Cost Analysis
Early in the design process the team will identify first cost
and life -cycle cost analysis of a variety of engineering
systems (both conventional and sustainable) to assess
issues, options and tradeoffs related to operating,
maintenance and other costs over the life expectancy
of a building. These assessments allow the design team
to arrive at the most appropriate and cost - effective
solution. Life -cycle costing of systems is an integral
and important element of the process of energy efficient
design. Maintenance costs, costs of remodeling, churn
costs and energy costs all need to be considered when
comparing different systems. Our team believes it
is critical to discuss these issues with the owner and
owner's Operations and Maintenance staff early in the
process.
Occupant Health & Productivity
The health and happiness of occupants is key to a
building's success. Studies show that good air quality,
access to views and daylight, and individual control over
the local environment all contribute to an occupant's
comfort and well being. Of particular note is indoor air
quality and it's impact on respiratory disease. Careful
selection of non -toxic materials and furnishings with low
potential to off -gas volatile organic compounds (VOC's)
coupled with matching amounts of filtered outdoor air
achieve high air quality. This then needs to be followed
up with an indoor air quality (IAQ) plan detailing the
monitoring of air quality, cleaning of ducted systems
and filters and checking materials for degradation.
Water Use
Water use in buildings can vary greatly depending on
their function. Use should be examined carefully and
opportunities for minimizing consumption or re -using
water exploited. Low flush fittings in bathrooms
are now almost universal, but at relatively moderate
additional cost, storm water collection and gray water
treatment can be considered to recycle water for toilets
and irrigation.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN SERVICES
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN PROCESS
LPA has proven experience that sustainable design
does not have to be an added cost to a project, and can
often result in added benefits to the users. Ultimately,
a well- designed building should be an efficient one -
both economically and environmentally. It should fully
maximize the potential of the elements that are used in
its creation. It should operate cleanly in a simple manner
throughout its usable lifetime. As in nature, it should
truly "belong" to its place.
Collaboration and communication are the foundation of
LPA's green design process. Team members, our client,
architect, outside consultants, and the contractor, work
together from the very start of the design process.
We look at the entire project - site, exterior, interior,
and budget - as a whole before planning or designing
a single element. This holistic view of the building and
its site shows the design team how the many elements
are connected and can work together to create the best
sustainable development within our client's objectives
and project budget.
SUSTAINABLE SERVICES AND TOOLS
Sustainable Assessment
Using the US Green Building Councii's ( USGBC) LEED11
rating system and L PA's copyrighted software program
LID", we can assess sustainable design options early in
the process with accurate cost data. A building's "green"
quotient can be documented in the very beginning of the
process assuming that sustainability is an integrated
component of the building and without added cost.
LEED Consulting
Given our expertise in sustainable design and in order
to provide our clients with a fully integrated sustainable
practice, LPA typically provides all of the required
services for LEED submittal and documentation to the
USGBC forcertification. The LPA team and our in -house
consu Itantshavebu i Itexperience inprovid ing LEED review
and documentation required for USGBC certification.
Agency Programs /Rebates Assessments
There are numerous programs available that help with
funding for sustainable aspects of any project. LPA can
identify the programs and funding amounts available
and make the necessary applications for funding.
Energy Audits and Computer Modeling
LPA has a broad range of expertise providing computer
models and energy use simulations that help the client
understand how the proposed project will perform.
Energy simulation throughout the design process
guides the design team in evaluating costs and options
available.
• PAGE 38
Life -cycle Cost Analysis
While our firm's policy is that sustainable design can
be achieved within any project budget, the front -end
cost often only provides one part of the equation in
sustainable design. Understanding the costs over the
entire project life can be a very useful tool as a benefit
analysis for the user. LPA's experience with Life -cycle
Cost Analysis enables an intelligent decision- making
process to be adapted for all sustainable aspects of a
project.
Photovoltaic (PV) Calculator*
Photovoltaics are increasingly being chosen to provide
ultra -clean renewable energy directly to buildings
as part of architectural design. LPA has built an in-
house Photovoltaic (PV) Calculator'= that provides
results for both PV performance and economics.
Eco- Charetten'
The eco- charette conducted by one of LPA's 130 LEED
accredited professionals is a focused effort where
architects, landscape architects, engineers, and the
client come together to explore the sustainable potential
of a project. During this highly interactive session the
team will develop green concepts for site work, water
efficiency, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and
material resources that will implemented or require
further study by team members before they become part
of the projects DNA. At the conclusion of the session, a
sustainable road map with action items and assignments
for further study is created in order to guide the efforts
of the team in finding the right sustainable solution for
the project.
LEADERSHIP AND COMMITMENT
LPA has 130 LEED" accredited professionals within
the firm. Over the past five years, LPA has successfully
applied sustainable design concepts on our civic,
corporate headquarters, K -12 schools, higher education
facilities projects and have more LEED certified projects
than any other firm in the state of California.
LPA University
LPA has long recognized that the development of
our people is the most important asset we have and
testimony to that fact is that our retention rate is one
of the highest in the industry. LPA not only has over
50 in -house seminars a year which are developed and
used as continuing education units for AIA members
but our training and mentoring programs routinely send
employees to specific topics of interest. LPA is an AIA
provider, and has conducted sustainability and LEED
training for clients, contractors, and public agencies.

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM)
The Building Information Model (BIM) is a set of
information generated and maintained throughout the life
cycle of a building. BIM is the process of generating and
managing a building information model.*
The American Institute of Architects has further defined
BI M as "a model -based technology linked with a database
of project information. "*
LPA is one of the leaders in BIM and has one of the
largest staffs in the US actually doing BIM projects
currently.
At LPA we have the in -house capability to affect the
surrounding environment, as well as other parts of the
project on site, that require an understanding of the
facilities complex 3 dimensional relationships.
We intend to utilize a Building Information Model (BI M)
for the Newport Beach City Hall project, which will aid
in future coordination, consultant review, and design
consistency that will benefit the entire project.

INSURANCE CLAIMS To date LPA has had no claims
against our insurance by public or private civic clients.
The following are LPA's only recent incidences of claims
against our policy.
Chula Vista Library
Explanation - Project was built in 1994. Public Library
facility in South Chula Vista, designed by Legoretta
Architects. LPA was the architect of record. The owner,
City of Chula Vista, had concerns for the potential of
future leaking of the exterior plaster system at flat para-
pet surfaces. To date no leaking has occurred. The claim
was based on alleged construction and /or design defects.
LPA was named along with the contractor and subcon-
tractors.
Status - LPA made a business decision and agreed to a
$50,000 settlement in lieu of extensive litigation cost in
defending the client. Settled in March 2004.
Mission Viejo Library
Explanation - Project is a city public library of
approximately 26,000 sq. ft. The City of Mission Viejo
was served with a claim for damages stemming from a
traffic accident in the library parking lot, which occurred
in February 2001. The father of a child while playing in
the parking lot allowed the 1 112 year old child to run into
the traffic lane of the parking lot and was struck by an
on coming auto. The City of Mission Viejo filed cross
complaint on the contractor and LPA, Inc. for indemnity
February 15, 2002.
Status - LPA made a business decision and agreed to a
$25,000 settlement in lieu of extensive litigation cost in
defending the client. Settled in October 2003.
Sage School
Explanation - Project is a private non - profit high school
consisting of multiple buildings on a terraced site in Irvine,
California. Complete and open for classes in September
2000. While LPA and the client have a continuing
successful working relationship, project leakage issues
caused by construction defects required mediation to
resolve.

pursuant to the settlement agreement May 30, 2007.
LPA continued to work with Sage School on campus
expansion plans including a Performing Arts and Math
Science Building.

CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. S- 33
June 24, 26'0-8
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Dave Kiff, Assistant City Manager
949 -644 -3002 or dkiff @city.newport- beach.ca.us
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.

Judging Procedure & Criteria
Part 1 - Ranking the RFQ Responses
Judging Procedure
In Part 1 (recommending up to five firms from the RFQ submittals), the Design Committee
will consider all submittals except those that have been disqualified for providing less
information than is required in Section V of the RFQ or for not meeting the minimum
experience qualifications or showing appropriate financial stability in the RFQ. 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.
