Exhibit A — Scope of Services
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 (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.

AIA Architecture Firm Award, Jury Comment
Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, founded in 1965, has offices in San Francisco. Seattle and three
Pennsylvania locations: Philadelphia. Wilkes -Barre and Pittsburgh. Our work is known for
exceptional design, for its commitment to the particularity of place and use, and for an
extraordinary aesthetic based on a quiet rigor. which is both intuitive and intellectual.
We believe in an architecture that reveals the particular nature of its circumstances — the
nature of its place, the nature of its people. and the nature of how we make things. With
both reason and intuition, we seek to discover the connections among all these things: the
connection between the quite tangible aspects of a place and the more elusive feelings its
prompts, how we approach and inhabit it
Bohlin Cywinski Jackson's twelve principals and total staff of 190 practice architecture and
offer a broad range of related services. The breadth and depth of our skills and experience
enable us to address a wide range of challenges — difficult sites. demanding budgets and
time constraints, unusual technological requirements. and the integration of new construc-
tion with existing buildings and contexts.
We are used to working in diverse environments to create new buildings that are both
timeless and of the present, blending the scale, materials and proportions of the surround-
ing fabric to create new places with a remarkable sense of belonging. Our work is rich and
diverse in scale character and visual expression while consistently balancing the multiple
agendas of fitting into and enhancing the character of an institution. integrating rigor-
ous programmatic and technical responses, incorporating sustainable design principles,
providing exceptional value within budgetary constraints and creating memorable places
that are a source of pleasure to those they serve. These qualities have been recognized
by more than 350 regional. national and international awards for design, including nine
national AIA Honor Awards and the Architecture Firm Award of the American Institute of
Architects —the highest honor bestowed upon any architectural practice. In the past four
years. we received three national awards for the Top Green Projects of the Year from the
American Institute of Architect's Committee on the Environment. More importantly. these
qualities have been recognized and appreciated by our clients and the people that live and
work in the projects we design

Seattle City Hall
The new Newport Beach City Hall. Park and Parking Facility will be large and complex,
but your central objectives require thinking at both the large scale of the Park the intimate
scale of individuals and small groups. The complex must enhance the City and improve
the effectiveness of its services. It must also constantly re- adapt, assisting the City in re-
positioning itself as local government evolves and changes.
Central to the architectural imperative is the act of bringing people together in ways that
include the formal. the informal. the impromptu and — sometimes - the virtual. The visual
beauty of Newport Beach and its setting must be used to best advantage, as should be
the sensory pleasures of its climate. The design must transcend the simple idea of using
sustainability to help preserve the environment, It should use its unexcelled natural climate
to create a sustainable facility where the distinction between indoor and outdoor activity
loses its meaning.
In offering relevant project examples, it is apparent that none of our prior projects bears a
visual resemblance to the outcome of Newport Beach's ambitious project as we may envis-
age it It is in our very nature as designers to see each major design commission as an
opportunity to do the unprecedented: carefully understanding each circumstance so it can
become a place that is an expression of its setting and circumstance.
On the following pages we have included projects for both public and private uses that we
believe resonate with Newport Beach s circumstances and aspirations.

Seattle City Hall Seattle. Washington Bohlin Cywinski Jackson,
The new 183.000 sq. ft. City Hall in Seattle is a powerful addition to downtown. Functionally, it meets the space needs of the mayor and
city council, and provides new venues for public gathering. reception, and citizen services. Symbolically, its design elements evoke the spirit
of the Northwest and reflect the city's rising international profile - a true expression of Seattle's civility and livability. Employees, citizens.
and visitors are welcomed with sweeping views of Puget Sound and the Olymics as they move through a landscape of terraced gardens and
amphitheater seating. The final building scheme was a result of extensive community input. It consists of a seven -story glass office block,
a metal Council Chamber and a lobby of transparent and translucent glass uniting the two. This transparency reflects the goal of an open,
accessible city government, easily identified. where ordinary citizens can locate city services. City Hall incorporates numerous sustainable
features and is a LEED Gold Certified Building

Nealon Federal Courthouse Scranton. Pennsylvania Bohlin Cywinski Jackson
The $34 million Scranton Federal Courthouse is a prototypical project. among the first Federal Courthouses in its size category to deal
simultaneously with historic restoration and new construction. A skylit atrium joins the new building to the historic structure to create a focus
of public circulation for the complex. The atrium creates a major civic space while minimizing changes to the historic fabric. Careful linking
through discretely- placed bridges provides a comprehensive approach to secure and separate circulation systems between the two struc-
tures. Fronting on Courthouse Square and its Romanesque county courthouse. the historic Federal Building receives a great deal of internal
traffic, particularly to access its postal facilities- The Courts wished to continue easy Post Office access through the existing lobby to rein-
force the community's sense of civic ownership and participation. This was achieved by extending the historic lobby into the new building and
using the two lobbies as queuing space for the secure entrance into the new atrium and the courts beyond.

Alumni Memorial Building Parking Pavilion and Arrival Court Lehigh University Bohlin Cywinski Jackson
This 104.000- square -foot parking pavilion is carved into a carefully landscaped hillside adjacent to the university's preeminent collegiate
Gothic structure and principal gateway destination. An inventive structural system devised by the architects eliminates the traditional deep
spandrels of precast concrete parking decks. Aesthetic treatment is intrinsic to the structural system. achieving transparency and openness,
human scale, color and shadow by means of an integrally cast concrete unit. At night the pavilion's translucent glass wall is an elegant backlit
screen for the circular arrival court below.

Independence National Historical Park: Master Plan and Liberty Bell Center, Philadelphia Bohlin Cywinski Jackson
The master plan for Independence Park creates a great American place. Democratic, open, and egalitarian, it arranges a simple set of ele-
ments so sensibly that to some it seems radical, It offers expansiveness and dignity, access and utility. comfort and pleasure. orientation and
familiarity. This park is modest. with deferential buildings appropriately scaled to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. while preserving the
prominence of the Independence Hall at the axis of the park. The new facilities step back. to the side. as they move further from the Hall.
ensuring views from each one to Independence Hall. The symbolic reintroduction of numerous alleyways (erased by the previous desigh) offer
visual connections to the surrounding neighborhood and its landmarks. museums and attractions. while providing new entryways into the park.
Exciting opportunities are created for interpretation and furnishings that speak of the history of city and place. By moving the Liberty Bell Center
to the side and closer to Independence Hall, the symbolic relationship between the Bell and the Hall where it once hung have been strength-
ened. Bohlin Cywnski Jackson was the architectural consultant for the Master Plan and the architect of the Liberty Bell Center.

Ballard Library & Neighborhood Service Center Seattle. Washington Bohlin Cywinski Jackson
The new Ballard Library is the first major building designed under the new Ballard Municipal Master Plan Zone, and consists of a co- location
of a neighborhood service center with a library and below grade parking The narrow storefront mullions undulate behind thin tapered wood
columns. The curved wall of the multipurpose room guides people from the street along its edge and into the structure- An open arcade
along the west facade joins the two functions under a large protected canopy allowing the sharing of common spaces and emphasizing the
building's civic nature. The design makes use of several sustainable building design strategies. The "sod" roof is a European system that
absorbs water to be used later by planting material, substantially reducing runoff. Other strategies include engineered wood timbers and
daylighting. Entries are bathes in a wash of sunlight. Diffused light settles down on the reference desk, Bold, direct light penetrates through
the structure of the arcade and the open stair well to the parking below.

Apple "Flagship" Retail Stores Worldwide Bohlin Cywinski Jackson
In early 2000 Apple. Inc made the strategic decision to embark on an international program of direct retail outlets and with BCJ's participa-
tion, designed a prototypical store that could be adapted to shopping mall or 'Main Street" locations. With maple floors, white fixtures, and
a distinctive high -tech integrated ceiling system the stores have a "signature" look supporting Apple's identity. The association of the Apple
brand with elegance. simplicity and good design is an important part of the mission for these stores. The stores also provide an opportunity
for consumers to have an up- close. tactile encounter with Apple products. In addition to the retail prototype. Apple identified opportunities
for -high profile' stores in special, large markets These "flagships" are typically two or three story spaces in downtown retail environments.
To date. Bohlin Cywinski Jackson has completed design assignments for flagship stores in Manhattan (three stores). Los Angeles. Chicago,
San Francisco, Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya. London and Glasgow. Additional locations in major cities. both domestic and foreign, are under
development.

Pixar Animation Studios Headquarters Emeryville, California Bohlin Cywinski Jackson
Bohlin Cywinski Jackson was retained by Pixar's CEO. Steve Jobs. to design a new headquarters campus for 600 employees on a fifteen
acre site in Emeryville. CA. The facility is master planned to house more than 1.000 employees in the future. Because Pixar employs story
artists, animators, and computer scientists its business success relies on the ability to attract these top people. The $90 million first phase is
a 200.000 gsf. two- story, steel and masonry building. At the core of the facility is a large atrium that acts as a central piazza for the campus.
Facing this public square are offices. a 600 seat film theater and two 40 -seat screening rooms. The piazza includes an arrival lobby and reg-
istration area. a cafe and a fitness center. The qualities of light, space, and architectural interest and the integration of technology throughout
the facility facilitate a cutting edge. yet humane, interactive workplace.

PWP LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Federal Courthouse
Seattle, Washington
PWP was part of a team with NBBJ Architects chosen to design the
new federal courthouse in the Westlake District of downtown Seattle.
Washington, on a 2.5 -acre site that slopes twenty -one feet diagonally from
east to west.
w y:
PWP designed a plaza with a major
fountain facing out to the corner of
Stewart Street and Seventh Avenue
as the main welcoming entry area.
A grand stair joins the plaza with the
lobby of the courthouse. The plaza
is representative of the moist north -
woods character of Seattle, while still
offers visitors and staff a comfortable
outdoor experience. Bands of
metallic - quartzite pavement alternate
with linear groves of birch trees, both
bands running perpendicular to the
stair and lobby. Beneath the trees,
a softer paving of irregular stone in
a field of grass is in keeping with
the moist green atmosphere that
distinguishes the region.
The plaza, which is furnished with benches, features a coffee stand with
an informal outdoor caf6. A cascading fountain steps down the east side
of the plaza parallel to the alternating stone and tree bands. It is planted
with fems and flowering water lilies. Behind the fountain a ramp provides
handicap access. In the heart of the plaza a sunken seating court features a
commissioned work by artist Ming Fay.
The great entry stair bends around the building's comer in cascading steps
and grass terraces that provide casual outdoor seating separated from the
building's cafeteria by a terrace planted with Japanese maples.
In this day and age, security is a major factor in the design of all public
buildings. The steep great stair protects the glazed lobby. Hardened tree
supports alternating with wide circular precast- concrete seat bollards
produce a defensible outer edge. Although apparently open and inviting, the
lobby and glass walls of the building are thereby protected from vehicular
explosive attack.

PWP LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Children's Park and Pond at Martin Luther King, Jr. Promenade
San Diego, California
Lying between the new Horton Plaza and the waterfront is the 10 -acre
site of Marina Linear Park. To many residents, this old railroad yard was
a wasteland. To PWP, winning team in CCDC's 1987 design competition,
the site had tremendous power. Recognizing in the derelict tracks a strong
image of the city's heritage, PWP chose the railroad as the theme for this
park.
PWP designed a public garden that
functions as a park, with facilities for
sitting, sunning, walking, jogging,
biking, and picnicking. The activity
of movement has been emphasized:
the kinetics of the new trolleys, the
old trains, and the people who move
about within the park, giving it life.
The plan for the linear park was to
be implemented over the years in
sections, as developers installed the
portion connected to their frontage.
In 1995, the San Diego Redevelopment Agency commissioned PWP to
design the centerpiece of the promenade opposite the twin convention
hotels at the foot of First and Front streets. The park had to accommodate
the Santa Fe Railroad and the light rail, which cross the west side of
the site. The master plan for Children's Park and Pond called for a large
circular reflecting pool that would resolve the conflicting geometry of the
Embarcadero and the grid of the city to the north. PWP's solution uses a
rustic stone wall in an interrupted form to create a rotated square joining
the pool to a park that picks up the city grid. The pool is backed by a series
of circular grass mounds formed in partial spheres. An irregular planting
of pine, scattered within a system of decomposed - granite paths, throws
shadows on the paths at noon, while the strong San Diego sun makes the
green spheres intensely visible within the shadowed grove.
A key element in the redevelopment of San Diego's downtown, Children's
Park and Pond also expresses a focal point in the linear promenade
that borders the waterfront. This new park reinforces the connection to
downtown by lining Front Street and First Avenue with rows of Italian
cypress, mounds of brilliantly colored ice plant, and a strong paving pattern.
In an attempt to reconcile the split desires of the client, the landscape
architect conceived the design as both a civic space and a "green' rolling
park.

Partners, Amp is designing the California
Academy of Sciences new museum in
San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. The
new Academy of Sciences building will
include an aquarium, planetarium, and
natural history exhibits among other public
spaces. In keeping with the Academy's
goals. the museum is being designed to
achieve high performance while minimizing
environmental impacts and operational
maintenance costs.
Striving to achieve a Platinum LEEDTV
rating, the building's sustainable features
include a "green roof." natural ventilation,
extensive use of natural daylight, reduced
water run -oft, alternative transportation, and
integration into the park and community.
Performance characteristics indicate that
the new building will achieve significant
benefits in terms of energy efficiency,
reduction of storrmwater runoff, minimization
of heat island effects and reduced
biodiversity impacts.
Once open, the museum's operational
savings will allow directors to spend more
of their endowment on innovative exhibits,
rather than on operations and maintenance.

Our approach recognizes architectural design as a powerful medium to address human
needs and celebrate life. In designing a civic campus, we are almost always working within
the context of a master plan — sometimes of our own authorship, sometimes envisioned
by others. The adaptability of our approach demonstrates that the relationship of buildings
to their surroundings. both natural and built, can produce exceptional architecture
Civic buildings should not be viewed as self- sufficient desgn statements, Architecturally,
they should work at several scales and in multiple contexts. Internally, they must support
and foster the programs they house and the special culture of the community they serve.
This requires spaces that meet people's functional as Nell as social needs. Practical issues
such as service, accessibility, flexibility, legibility. security and long -term maintenance
must also be effectively and efficiently addressed Externally. a civic building should be
integrated into the community of spaces and buildings comprising the civic complex. To
do this. architectural design must engage a wider agenda and enhance the strengths and
character of existing buildings and landscape.
• Buildings are for people. By placing human needs. comfort and satisfaction first,
architecture can be an inspiration and make a difference in people's lives.
• Every client, every program, every site is different. Each project requires a unique
response to the complex interaction of these influences.
• Buildings shape places. Fine buildings achieve a singularity appropriate to their time
and place as they resonate with their surroundings. both natural and man -made, in the
creation of a greater whole
• Environmental responsibility is a fundamental obligation. Sustainable design
principles and processes should shape design at the root level. Every project is an
opportunity to educate and enlighten on the global effects of our actions.
• Adherence to practical realities is a prerequisite for exceptional design. Every
project must first be functionally impeccable , flexible, durable. easily operated and
maintained, and meet budgetary and schedule requirements.
• Design is enriched by collaboration. By listening and pooling our experience to gain
a deeper understanding of the true nature of each given situation, we and our clients
together can produce places of surprising architectural power.
We understand the qualities of memorable. innovative and transformative places. and
recognize that the new City Hall and Park complex at Newport Beach presents an extraor-
dinary opportunity to make a very special place. integrating with the existing library to
broadly support the community's needs.

2 Vision
Our team's initial conceptual vision for the City Hall and Park Master Plan is to design a
built environment that fosters community and interaction for employees and visitors while
being contextually situated within the unique environment and culture of Newport Beach.
• Community can be encouraged and stimulated at various scales including the
macro and micro. The building can foster interaction of employees colleagues and
visitors by allowing opportunities for collaboration through flexible spaces and open
environments.
• Access through the site will be clear and functional yet allow opportunities for
reflection and interaction. While designing an efficient building. users will experience
a variety of conditions that allow a richer and more stimulating understanding of the
built environment.
• Landscape and flora can be integrated at interior and exterior spaces to connect
users to the local environment. Far from being an interior and inward focused
environment separate from the park and outdoors. the building will take advantage of
Newport Beach's mild climate and unique coastal context.
• The Natural Park will maximize a person's connection to the site and Newport
Beach's local environment. The park will integrate fluidly and harmoniously with the
City Hall building while providing a natural threshold to the streetscape.
• Contextual and timeless building materials will be utilized to provide a richer
and vibrant sensory experience. Environmentally conscious materials will be
incorporated to create a more sustainable and healthy environment.
• Parking will be used in the most efficient manner recognizing the demand and
utility of vehicles for visitors and employees alike. Access from the site to public
transportation provided by the nearby OCTA station will be improved.

1 Approach to assure the timely and
cost effective completion of the Project
Proactive schedule control, cost management and energy performance planning are essen-
tial to achieve a successful project. A project must be thoroughly planned in its use of time
and resources to enjoy the results of predictable, orderly processes. Efficient, cost effective
buildings reflect the importance of integrating appropriate building systems in ways that
are easily constructed, These qualities require sure - footed design and technical deci-
sions and a culture of open interaction among all members of the team: the City's Building
Committee and Program Manager. the Architect and Engineers as well as the Contractors
First costs and long -term operating expenses for new buildings are profoundly affected by
the choice of conceptual design alternatives. Site orientation can affect heating and cooling
loads and access to natural light Minimizing the disturbance of a site has cost, ecologi-
cal and aesthetic implications. Careful evaluation of the building code can offset the need
for costly systems such as structural fire - proofing or smoke evacuation, often with little or
no impact on a buildings spirit, function or safety . Attention to the choice and detailing of
materials and major systems can save construction and maintenance costs
Bohlin Cywinski Jackson believes in the following principles to achieve these goals:
• Cost management to adhere to a fixed budget requires finding the best balance
between three project parameters. Scope. Quality and Budget. This is true for design
decisions at all scales. from the orientation of a building on its site. to the allocation
of space and the quality of materials in those particular locations where the benefit is
greatest.
• The greatest cost savings can be achieved early in the design process when all
aspects of the project are fluid, and when major scope /quality/budget trade -offs can
be thoroughly evaluated and implemented We begin by validating the site and building
programs testing the probable cost of each individual component to determine its
effect on the budget. Meaningful cost control choices are available throughout the
design process as technical details are refined and documented. Cost control continues
through the procurement process when a strategy of bidding alternates is crucial to
permit adjustment in response to current market conditions at the time of bidding.
Refinements throughout the process are important, but the major cost impact decisions
occur in the project's conceptual phases, when the best fit between program needs,
building systems and site conditions can be evaluated, controlled and integrated in the
design All concepts are tested against their cost implications so decisions can be seen
as a process of allocating resources
• Detailed cost tracking and confirmation begins with the master planning and
conceptual design phase and continues during each subsequent phase Value
engineering processes will occur on a rolling basis as decisions on design alternatives
are evaluated. Cost confirmation will occur at each phase through detailed cost
estimates to track conformance with the City's budget. Bid alternates will be identified
to easily enable cost adjustments in response to market conditions at time of bidding
without impacting the project schedule. This approach is founded on aligning the
Bohlin Cywlnski Jackson 33

projects scope, quality and budget parameters early in the design process and then
instituting processes that track and maintain this balance throughout design and
documentation to allow the City and the design team to make informed decisions in an
orderly. rather than reactive, manner.
The costs and benefits of potential sustainable design concepts are equally
important to address beginning early in the design process, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson
designs all of its projects to take advantage of the long -term savings offered by an
integrated design approach that recognizes the inter - related nature of all aspects of the
project We have completed many LEED- certified projects employing a broad range of
passive and technical sustainable solutions that were selected for their appropriateness
to each project's specific circumstances and budget
2 Intended scope of work and related professional services
Although Bohlin Cywinski Jackson is recognized for exceptional design skills. we take pride
in our equally strong service. technical and management abilities. We offer a full range of
architecture, planning and interior design services and our approach is to provide compre-
hensive services for each project that we undertake. We are experienced in master plan-
ning and design of parks, city hall facilities and parking structures and propose to perform
the full range of required services from start to completion, augmented by the talented
team of consultants we have identified herein.
3 Approach to managing project design services
Our approach to the design process is founded on an inclusive working style. We believe
that working with our clients is more effective than simply working for them. This process
is supported by intensive, highly interactive meetings that include key members of the
design team and the City's stakeholders to ensure the best design outcome Putting our
designers on -site for regular meetings allows design concepts to emerge from discussions
through sketches that are quickly generated. reviewed and adjusted in real time.
Good design, whether seen as rational problem— solving or intuitive and visionary, requires
a degree of non -linear thinking. Our way of combining the benefits of free -form exploration
with those of a well- ordered sequence is to use several parallel processes. Our approach
begins with a parallel process of 1- research into your circumstances. 2- program refine-
ment, and 3- conceptual master planning and design of multiple alternatives. This allows us
to simultaneously address the built site context, the natural environment, the social, func-
tional, environmental and technical programs and green /sustainable design concepts, all in
the context of early detailed cost, scheduling and construction phasing models.
We also believe that simultaneous development and refinement of multiple conceptual
design solutions concurrent with the programming and master planning activities is essen-
tial to maximize the exploration of cost - efficient design alternatives that test ideas and
identify opportunities and synergies. Often the final desired design solution evolves from
the hybrids that merge the best attributes of several viable concepts

In validating an overall program and the appropriate allocation of resources. we find it
useful to subdivide the analysis into five parallel but interconnected tracks: Master Plan
Program. Site Program, Human Program, Environmental Program and Technical Program.
• The Master Plan Program seeks to understand how this project fits Into the long -term
potential of the surrounding community and campus, how it can ensure that it becomes
a synergistic contributor to a greater whole: how it can age and adapt with grace, and
how it can establish the potential for successful future development.
• The Site Program summarizes all the external inputs to the design circumstance. We
seek to understand how to best use the land: its relationship to surrounding natural,
human -made and cultural situation. infrastructure and ecological needs, accessibility.
zoning requirements: parking. service. utilities. views, climate: sunlight; wind, and
qualitative goals for architectural character
• The Human Program complements the Site Program. looking at the building from the
inside out. understanding how people will interact with the building and each other. the
functions to be accommodated, their space needs, relationships to one another, and
other characteristics needed to support optimum functionality. durability and spirit. We
design with an understanding what people will do and how the building should function.
what synergies are possible through adjacencies. how much space each activity needs:
how each space should be appointed. and prioritization of financial investments to align
with institutional objectives in light of the project's specific technical and site situation.
We also look at the social and economic effect of the building's grossing factor. the ratio
of net space to built space. balancing spatial efficiency with the need for informal social
spaces that are essential to contribute to a lively and interactive place.
• The Environmental Program identifies and explores the complete range of options
available to meet the sustainable design and construction goals for the project, with
the objective of defining a strategy for achieving LEED certification at the highest level
possible within the project budget. To meet that goal. we clearly communicate the
alternatives for how the sustainable and energy design objectives can be met. and
validate the economic and environmental impacts of the many choices presented.
• The Technical Program defines how the building will come together as an integrated
assembly of systems. how these will be built, and what they will cost. It lays out
the code issues and the characteristics and capacities of mechanical systems.
electrical power and lighting systems. structural systems, data and communications
infrastructure, acoustical and audio - visual requirements and other engineered
infrastructure that will be needed to support the Human Program and address the
environmental and energy efficiency goals. We define what is essential to build
affordable, high performance, flexible. functional and durable facilities that respond
to the site and human programs' specific circumstances, and the City s long -range
planning goals. Our integrated approach to addressing all issues simultaneously can
often yield economies that would not otherwise be apparent.
Bohlin Cywinski Jackson 35

Simultaneously addressing each of these considerations in a parallel process allows each
of the categories to inform the others. This non - linear thinking is an excellent way to ensure
that the project is considered from multiple angles. and that all participants' creative intel-
ligence is enlisted to bring the most promising ideas to the fore
4 Approach to coordinating with the City's
team including City building officials
Our experience in developing missions. scopes of work, and completing projects with mul-
tiple stakeholders and diverse groups of users and constituents is long and extensive We
enjoy working in an open and public process,
For example. Seattle is a city known for its dedication to public process The design devel-
opment review for the new Seattle City Hall effectively illustrates Bohlin Cywinski Jackson's
ability to work with diverse public agencies and community groups to achieve architectural
excellence, In the early phases of Seattle's Civic Center project and the design of the
new City Hall, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson and joint venture partner Bassetb Architects con-
ducted extensive community review meetings to involve the public in the design process.
Balancing the many views and concerns of multiple constituencies for such a major public
building was an ongoing task and one in which we placed great importance. We met regu-
larly with city officials and the management team to make public design presentations at
every phase. We gathered comments and observations from many groups, balancing these
within the project's goals, space program and budget. Many of the new City Halls spaces
reflect the public's desire for an open, gracious and transparent city government facility.
Flexibility, sustainability and the embodiment of Pacific Northwest design were other key
elements the community wanted in the new facility.
Approach to assuring timely completion of the Project
We believe in producing detailed work plan schedules to make the initial and long term pro-
cess understandable from the outset so that everyone has a road map of the sequence of
tasks to be performed as we move through a layered decision making process proceeding
from broad conceptual decisions through increasing levels of detail and specificity. These
work plans define a process organized around a regular schedule of meeting workshops..
each with a detailed agenda and defined between- meeting tasks to be performed by the
design team and by the City This format provides advanced insight into the nature of the
design and decision making process while also revealing the underlying order necessary to
enable us to easily adjust to the sometimes non - linear nature of project development. The
goal is to structure a process that invites participation and efficiently focuses the talents
and energy of everyone involved through all project phases.
Once the schedule has been agreed upon and established. including adequate time for the
City's review processes and code / agency reviews, schedule adherence during the design
and documentation phases is maintained through clear communication and orderly refined
processes for design and production tasks. We avoid the most common cause of schedule
issues during design, budget adherence. by quickly establishing and then maintaining the

• •
balance between the project's scope.. quality and cost parameters through the proven cost
control processes outline above
Should an expedited schedule be requested by the City, we are prepared to accelerate our
services utilizing a number of techniques:
• Implement a fast - tracked multiple bid package delivery system. Bohlin Cywinski
Jackson is very experienced in such approaches.
• Deliver the design solution faster by assigning additional staff and /or overtime hours
• Utilize inclusive interactive design review meetings, instead of multiple -week review
periods, to assess and approve the design progress at the completion of the Schematic
Design and Design Development Phases
We believe that the Construction Administration phase begins during design: a well- crafted
set of contract documents is a key component to completing project construction on time
and on budget, and with the high quality detailing that extraordinary architecture demands
Complementary to good documentation is the Architect's active participation and respon-
siveness during the construction phase of the project. Bohlin Cywinski Jackson and all
members of our design team believe in establishing close working relationships with
Construction Managers, Trade Contractors, material manufacturers /suppliers. person-
nel preparing shop drawings /submittals and others involved in the construction process
to form a true integrated team that works together in pursuit of quality and efficiency.
We seek to maintain a leadership role in achieving greatness in both the finished project
and the processes used to build it We have developed approaches that maximize direct
personal communication while maintaining necessary written project protocols, and have
collaborated on innovative approaches to project delivery that have achieved extraordinary
results. We bring an infectious enthusiasm that promotes a pride in the project and builds
friendships. Our approach to Construction Administration is one of the key reasons why our
projects are known for their constructability, craftsmanship. quality and on -time delivery.
6 Approach to quality assurance and quality control
Several aspects of our practice are central to the quality of our documentation and
services:
• We use a single design team from the project's inception through its completion
The project is not passed from a programming department to a design department
and thence to a production department. The design team's core of principals. project
managers and key staff are continuously involved in all stages. This ensures that
early intentions are fully implemented in the technical drawings. The same team is
involved during construction administration, so the application of the documents to the
construction process is similarly seamless
• Our engineering consultants are integrated with the thinking process from the outset.
We do not design a building architecturally and then ask our engineers to make it work
Bohlin Cywinski Jackson 37
• •
Rather, we address technical concerns from the earliest programming discussions,
merging architecture, site, environmental and technical systems into an inter - related
whole. Designs are developed and refined with an integrated vision of how the building
will be built and how it will function.
We care about the details, lavishing serious attention on how materials and systems
come together. This is a distinguishing quality of our Architecture, and is based on a
discipline of technical excellence.
We make full use of review processes including cost and constructability reviews,
whether by internal peer reviews, third -party reviewers, independent cost estimators or
by inviting Contractors' input during the design process
One of the advantages of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson's multiple office organization is the
opportunity for internal peer review for projects by principals and senior staff in an
office other than the one having primary responsibility for the development of design
and documentation for a specific project. We routinely draw on our considerable
technical resources to provide OA/QC reviews during the development of the design and
construction documents.
We are experienced with construction norms and code issues in California and are
currently working in Los Angeles on a major project at UCLA.
7 Approach to incorporating LEED and sustainable design
Integrating environmentally responsible and economically viable sustainable design strate-
gies is a fundamental professional obligation. Our work in the area of what has come to be
known as "sustainable design" spans three decades. Beginning in the late 1970s with a
modest Girl Scouts Program Center funded by a Department of Energy Grant to demon-
strate passive solar technology, we have continued to pursue this aspect of design through
commissions such as the Preger Intelligent Workplace research center at Carnegie Mellon.
This project received both an AIA National Honor Award as well as a Business Week/
Architectural Record Honor Award for its innovations in creating a sustainable workplace.
In the past four years. Bohlin Cywinski Jackson has received three national awards for the
Top Green Projects of the Year from the American Institute of Architect's Committee on the
Environment. In 2005. the Barn at Fallingwater in Mill Run, PA. in 2006. the Ballard Library
and Neighborhood Service Center in Seattle, WA, and in 2008 the Pocono Environmental
Education Center in Dingman Ferry. PA were recognized by the Committee.
We have long known that many green design principles do not add cost if they are imple-
mented as part of a holistic design conception We believe that responsible energy use
and materials selection require consideration at the inception of the design process, when
the site and building configurations first take shape. Many of our clients see the value of
investing beyond these "free' benefits. Our design teams offer energy modeling. life cycle
cost analysis and the research skills needed to make sound environmental investments.
While US Green Building Council LEED certification has not become universal, the over-
whelming majority of our corporate. educational and governmental clients either seek
Newport Beach City Hall 38
9 0
certification or seek to design to a standard equivalent to certification. We are experienced
in the LEED processes and have many LEED accredited professionals and many projects
that have received or are in the process of obtaining LEED certification.
We also believe in revealing green design responses as a teaching tool and "living labora-
tory" that provides building users and visitors with direct, hands -on opportunities to gain a
better understanding of environmental issues. Our recent project for the Ballard Library in
Seattle incorporates a number of simple but effective interactive "exhibits" that encourage
awareness, exploration and learning.
Despite the rapid evolution of technology in advancing the frontiers of how buildings can
better respond to our demands for sophisticated internal control while minimizing environ-
mental impact, we think that there is still a very important place in the sustainability equa-
tion for the traditional values of good design basics founded on fundamental human values.
The things that make us happy, calm, productive and comfortable don't really change very
much from one generation to the next. Really well designed buildings have always rec-
ognized this truth, and it's one of the reasons that we preserve well -liked older buildings
and adapt them to new uses. We approach all of our assignments with the goal of creat-
ing architecture that will be flexible, adaptable and valued so that they will continue to be
appreciated and adapted to new uses well into the future.
The Newport Beach area climate will be an extraordinary asset. Its benign temperatures
and generous sunlight allow indoor and outdoor activities to be blurred. We foresee capital-
izing on this asset in ways that do more than reduce mechanical equipment investments
and energy expenditures. The use of natural ventilation and natural lighting will enhance
the basic feel of the buildings and the outdoor activity places. The sensual pleasure of
connecting with the outdoors by sight, sound, and breeze will enhance human activity, and
interaction and make the City Hall complex a place like no other.
With these qualities in mind, we have assembled a team with world -class credentials in
advanced environmental design. Peter Walker and Partners, Landscape Architects, prac-
tice globally and are known for their environmentally sensitive design founded on natural
habitats that use native plants that are suited to the climate to reduce maintenance and
create awareness of the regions ecosystems. Arup, the global consulting and engineering
firm, are known as "building physicists" with an extraordinary record of successful innova-
tion in building systems.

• Propose answers to questions that various firms raised as the firms reviewed the RFQ;
• Receive and review the RFQ responses (there were 51 firms/teamsAndividuals that
submitted responses by the May 19, 2008 deadline);
• Rank the responses consistent with the attached Scoring Sheet (see Exhibit B),
selecting thirteen (13) fines to "short list" and to have City staff make reference checks
on each firm to the extent possible; and
• Forward the names of fore (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 le 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
Piano 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.

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 16d', 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 fines' 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 24", 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 21}08, 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 25"', 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.
