the construction/bidding documents needed to undertake the work detailed in the Scope of Work for
the above mentioned facilities.

ANALYSIS (continued)
The firm will be responsible for obtaining all Federal, State and local permits necessary for the
construction of the project, and may also be required to provide consulting services to the City on
various matters which do not result in drawings or specifications.
The design will be developed with the input of the City Administration, the various City Boards ani
Committees, as well as area residents and other interested individuals and groups.
The design team for this project will be headed by a Landscape Architect with park design
experience and will include an Engineer and Architect with demonstrated knowledge and experience
in Historic Preservation. The project will also require the services of a person qualified by education
or experience to research and interpret historical information. The Project design will include
conceptual planning, design, construction documents and construction administration services for
a new park on a 2-acre undeveloped tract of oceanfront land located east of Collins Avenue between
76th and 77th Streets. The park site lies within the Harding Townsite/South Altos Del Mar Historic
District, and is adjacent to the Altos Del Mar Historic District. The design services required for this
park include restoration of the exterior of the buildings to their original exterior appearance, and
adaptive reuse of the interior of the structures and the possible reconfiguration of the parking areas.
