AGENDA BILL Agenda Item No. 7(A) Date: March 19, 2013 To: El Cerrito City Council From: Melanie Mintz, Environmental Services Division Manager Karen Pinkos, Assistant City Manager Subject: Urban Greening Plan Consultant Award ACTION REQUESTED Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with MIG, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $154,000 for preparation of a citywide Urban Greening Plan and to authorize change orders in an amount not to exceed $15,400. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION In 2012, the City was awarded $239,498 from the State of California’s Urban Greening Planning for Sustainability Communities Grant program (Proposition 84) for the preparation of a citywide Urban Greening Plan (Plan). Application for grant funds was recommended by the Environmental Quality Committee (April 12, 2011) and the Parks and Recreation Commission (April 26, 2011) and approved by City Council (Resolution 2011-38). Due to the built-out nature of the State’s urban areas, Urban Greening Plans are intended to result in projects that help the State meet its environmental goals, improve existing urban areas and help create healthier communities. On January 22, 2013 the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to prepare the City’s Urban Greening Plan. (Attachment 1) Prior to issuance, the City convened an Urban Greening Task Force to review the draft RFP and to be involved throughout development of the Plan to support staff and the consultant team to assure the final Plan is reflective and inclusive of the City’s diverse stakeholders and community vision. The Task Force thus far consists of representatives from the City’s Environmental Quality Committee (EQC), Parks and Recreation Commission, Tree Committee, Committee on Aging as well as representatives from the co-sponsored Trail Trekkers and Community Garden Network and staff from the Environmental Services Division, City Manager’s Office and Recreation and Public Works departments. The Task Force was selected through an invitation to the City’s Boards, Committees and Commissions with responsibilities closely related to the Urban Greening Plan’s goals via their liaisons and through direct involvement with stakeholder groups. The Task Force is not a decision- making group, but rather a group formed to help reach out to the community. The Task Force may be expanded as the project gets underway. ---PAGE BREAK--- Agenda Item No. 7(A) Page 2 The RFP was broadly distributed and interested firms were asked to submit a Statement of Interest if they intended to submit an RFP. Eleven firms submitted a Statement of Interest and four consultant teams submitted complete proposals. (See table below.) The Urban Greening Task Force, consisting of both staff and community members as described above, reviewed the proposals based upon the criteria outlined in the RFP, which included the consultant team’s statement of project understanding, experience and qualifications, proposed project team, work plan, and innovative public involvement, final plan and implementation tools. Because there was no consensus or clear majority on the ranking of the teams, and due to the merits of each proposal, the Task Force decided to invite all four teams for an interview. Proposing Team (Prime/Subconsultants) Final Ranking MIG, Inc./Sherwood Engineers 1 The Planning Center/DC&E 2 RHAA/Town Green/ESA/Godbe Research/Applied Economic Development 3 Gates + Associates/Blue Point Planning 4 The interview format was designed to help the Task Force ascertain which team would provide the best fit for this project and consisted of three parts: a 15-minute presentation presented as if the consultant team were presenting to a general public or elected official audience; a 15-minute simulated Task Force meeting to “finalize the public involvement strategy”; and 15-minutes for Task Force questions related to the written proposal or in- person presentation. Consultants were asked to have their primary project personnel be the primary presenters for the interview. The interview format, in particular, allowed the Task Force to ascertain which team had the clearest, most appropriate and inspiring vision for what an Urban Greening Plan could be for El Cerrito; which team could work most collaboratively with staff, the Task Force and the public; and for the Task Force to learn more about each team’s proposed work plan and project approach. Interviews took place on Thursday, February 28. The interview committee consisted of a subset of the Task Force and included the City’s Community Outreach Specialist, Recreation Director, Public Works Environmental Program Manager, Environmental Services Division Manager, Environmental Services Division Intern and three non-staff representatives, including a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, Environmental Quality Committee and a community member representing both the Trail Trekkers and Community Garden Network. MIG was selected by the majority of the interview committee as the firm most qualified to complete the Urban Greening Plan. (See ranking above.) Because the budget for the project was stipulated in the RFP, the evaluation process emphasized overall work plan and qualifications as demonstrated in both the written proposal and interview. MIG was ---PAGE BREAK--- Agenda Item No. 7(A) Page 3 selected due to the firm’s exceptional graphic, public involvement and presentation tools and capabilities; their vision of the role urban greening could play in El Cerrito; and their thorough understanding and response to the challenge and opportunities of creating urban greening projects in a built-out “constrained” City such as El Cerrito. MIG’s proposal and interview demonstrated the most thorough understanding of the project, project goals, and of how urban greening projects could best fulfill the City’s environmental and placemaking goals. MIG had the strongest vision for how urban greening could enhance the City as a transit-oriented destination and support future development through identifying the City as a unique location between the “Blue Belt” of the Bay and the “Green Belt” of the East Bay Regional Park District. Their approach and focus on identifying strategic opportunities for increasing green, open space provided the most innovative and place-appropriate approach and was unique amongst the teams. MIG was also the City’s consultant for the 1999 General Plan and is currently working with the City on the San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan. The Task Force has emphasized that the needs assessment and public involvement are of utmost importance in the development of this Plan to assure the Plan reflects the City’s diversity and that the final Plan will have community-wide support. MIG’s proposal and final scope of work includes a community engagement strategy which utilizes both traditional and technological strategies to assure broad and diverse community participation. Community engagement will include working with the Task Force to identify and include leaders from under-represented communities, developing materials in multiple languages, developing an outreach kit to be able to “go to where people are”, conducting a community survey, and developing and maintaining an interactive project website as well as interactive workshops, design charettes and focus group meetings. The proposed award amount of $154,000 includes MIG’s proposal and proposal enhancements (Attachment 2) and an interactive online map, which was requested as an optional item in the RFP. It also includes preparation of one additional concept design and cost estimate to prepare for an upcoming call for proposals via the One Bay Area Grant Capital Call-for-Projects. The resulting Plan, as specified in the grant agreement with the State, will consist of: • Summary and results of public involvement • Bay Friendly plant palette and urban forest recommendations • Public place planting, maintenance and resource conservation guidelines • Urban greening policy and project recommendations • Portfolio of conceptual design concepts and strategies • Recommendations for non-motorized connectivity, green infrastructure improvements (energy, water and stormwater run-off reduction) and health and wellness improvements • Implementation strategy and tool • Quantification and discussion of how the proposed urban greening strategies and projects fulfill the State’s environmental goals ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS/REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS El Cerrito Urban Greening Plan January 22, 2013 PROPOSALS DUE: February 15, 2013 Statement of interest is due by February 4, 2013 at 4 P.M. to receive addenda PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The City of El Cerrito is seeking a qualified consultant team (“Consultant”) to develop a comprehensive, citywide Urban Greening Plan (“Plan”). The Plan will serve as a master document identifying projects, policies and strategies to create an interconnected network of green places, accommodate infill growth and improve the quality of life and the environment for existing and future El Cerrito residents. The Plan, currently titled “Green Vision 2035” is funded by the State of California’s Urban Greening Planning Grant Program and Proposition 84 (Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act). The selected team will be responsible for engaging the El Cerrito community (residents, stakeholders, staff, elected officials and experts) to develop a Plan that reflects the community’s opportunities, needs and aspirations and serves as a living strategy document for achieving a more livable, sustainable, healthy and green urban community. The Plan will ultimately result in projects that are consistent with the State’s planning priorities which include promoting equity, strengthening the economy, protecting the environment and promoting public health and safety, specifically through promoting infill development and equity, protecting environmental and agricultural resources, and encouraging efficient development patterns. It will help the City better understand the demands that will be placed upon existing parks and green spaces in future years, help the City program its parks and green spaces in a more environmentally and economically sustainable manner, and identify if additional or different types of green spaces are needed to support and accommodate future population growth, demographic changes, equitable access and sustainability goals. The Plan and its resulting projects will provide multiple benefits, including but not limited to, decreasing air and water pollution, reducing the consumption of natural resources and energy, improving walkability, bikeability, and connectivity and increasing adaptability to climate change. The Plan will serve as the master document guiding and coordinating greening projects in El Cerrito and incorporates and builds upon other city planning efforts as well as serves as a foundation document for updates to the City General Plan.

El Cerrito is home to an engaged community and many beloved parks and open spaces, and the City has already made strides towards reinvesting in existing green spaces establishing new, sustainable green resources across the City. The development of Green Vision 2035 provides a unique opportunity to build on current and past planning efforts, leverage existing assets, accommodate future development, address open space constraints, and an enhance an inter- connected network of green open spaces that provide safe, healthy, and identifiable public realm. For this to happen, the project needs to achieve the following opportunities: I. Maximize Innovative Green Policies and Cutting Edge Techniques II. Strategically Leverage City Resources, Community and Partnerships I. Maximize Innovative Green Policies, Cutting Edge Techniques and Best Practices For a city like El Cerrito that is fairly built out, the Greening Plan should not just incorporate well-established best design and policy practices, but also implementable innovative ideas and cutting edge techniques in the following areas: IA. Respond to Use Patterns and Demographics El Cerrito is home to a diverse and growing community. As the community grows and changes, green space usage and needs shift. We analyze the actual community uses of green spaces, and incorporate geographic analysis into our needs assessments, factoring in actual access points, El Cerrito’s existing and planned pedestrian networks (including trails), and whether barriers exist. This creates a more accurate model of how people actually get to parks and provides targeted information about how to get the most out of the system and where improvements would be most beneficial. The results are standards that achieve actual service and stronger, more targeted recommendations. In order to create a living and relevant Green Vision 2025 the planning process must respond to these needs in the following ways: • Establish a baseline database of current facilities and assets. • Evaluate current usage and the fit between existing facilities and community desires. • Project future use and needs given anticipated growth and demographic changes. • Anticipate usage and desire changes that come with changing social views of transportation and an increased appreciation for local recreation and the ecosystem services offered by green areas. • Design an equitable open space system that serves all members of the community by focusing development in park-poor areas, and ensuring accessibility. • Program spaces that respond to varying cultural needs and desires, as expressed by the City’s diverse community. IB. Measure and Maintain What Matters Numbers and locations of features and amenities are important, but in the real world, the condition of a park or open space system and its design quality impacts use and usefulness. We use inventory and evaluation tools that rate these factors as to how well the sites support the activities and preferences of El Cerrito residents. We also realize that design and construction is only half of the story. We develop maintenance programs and strategies as an integral part of our plans, so that parks and open spaces maintain the design quality and usefulness community members are looking for. We also plan for change. To keep the plan relevant over 10 and 20 year timelines, MIG provides tools that allow quick adaptations to changes in costs and funding availability. ---PAGE BREAK--- 1.4 City of El Cerrito IC. Improve Quality of Life Green spaces can serve many functions, such as exercise locations, pollutant filters, places for relaxation and social- ization, and sources of food. A successful Greening Plan should explore the following traditional and non-traditional methods of improving the health of community. • Promote community cohesion and health by creating recreation opportunities, a vibrant pedestrian realm and non-motorized transportation corridors. • Reduce green house gas emissions by maximizing tree cover and accompanying benefits such as reducing air pollution and heat island effect, maximizing transit opportu- nities and non-motorized modes of travel, etc. • Improve access to good healthy food by designing and locating community gardens in easily accessible underutilized parking lots, residual spaces in street ROW, etc. ID. Create an Interconnected Network of Open Spaces and Strengthen Non-Motorized Mobility El Cerrito has a strong green spine, the Ohlone Greenway, as well as a loose network of paths and trails across the City. Green Vision 2035 can be a vital stepping stone to a holisti- cally considered park system that combines existing green areas and walk/bike paths of travel with key additional green nodes, giving the feeling that the City is enriched with green necklaces. For the Urban Greening Plan to interconnect different open space and community destinations, and encourage and attract users to use non-motorized modes of travel for fun and basic transportation, the Urban Greening Plan can incorporate the following measures: • Build on the Circulation Plan for Bicycles and Pedes- trians to increase and enhance pedestrian and bike facilities through a mix of improvements that may include increased width of sidewalks, bike lanes, shared bike routes and well-buffered landscape planting strips. • Design non-motorized corridors such as trails and paths within existing utility corridors. • Complement bike corridors with innovative bike programs such as bike rental and repair at key locations. • Focus on “connecting the dots” by enhancing the public right of way on paths between green nodes. • Potentially overlay pedestrian and bicycle paths within existing parking lots to connect to key community facilities. • Strategically add parks in western areas of the City where there are fewer parks, and residents have less access to personal transportation.

Increase Green Open Space El Cerrito has many parks and open spaces ranging from the 79-acre Hillside Natural Area and the vast East Bay Regional Park system on the City’s eastern border, to smaller neighborhood hubs like Tassajara Park. This City has also taken great strides towards greening important public rights of way like San Pablo Avenue and Fairmount Avenue. However, opportunities remain in enhancing and increasing El Cerrito’s open spaces by looking at: • Urban pocket parks, community gardens and trails within underutilized public rights of way, utility easements and parking lots and forgotten ‘residual’ places. • Flexible open spaces such as underutilized local streets and parking lots that can be programmed to useable recreational open spaces during weekends and weeknights. • School yards and mono-functional asphalt areas that can converted to ‘edible’ playgrounds and community gardens for joint use. • Development policies that require open spaces and/or limit impermeable surfaces. • Landscape design systems and maintenance strategies that ensure green spaces across the city, from tree wells to large parks, are safe and look their best. IF. Create an Appropriate and Identifiable Citywide Planting Palette The City has taken significant steps to transition to a sustainable native or California-friendly planting palette, as can be seen in front of City Hall and along San Pablo Avenue. An appropriate common planting palette needs to take into account the following considerations: • Climatically sensitive to not only tolerate dry summer months, but also provide shade and reduce the heat island effect. • Cost effective in terms of low maintenance, low water usage, root ball to have minimal conflicts with sidewalk, etc. • A planting palette that respects East Bay Area ecology such that the mix of trees and shrubs are not just native but also offer the appropriate habitat for birds, butterflies, etc. • Identifiable so as to provide sense of place and knit together the whole City. • Integrated with the Urban Forest Management Plan. IG. Ensure Cost-Effective Sustainable Development A truly sustainable, multi-benefit Urban Greening Plan should include design best practices, incorporate a mainte- nance strategy for existing and proposed green assets, and be integrated with the City’s Climate Action Plan. The following measures can be taken during the planning and design process: • Maximize integrated stormwater management practices in the design of streets and public parks through stormwater planters, bioswales, etc. • Minimize impervious surfaces and heat gain in existing parking lots by exploring different pervious materials such as porous asphalt and appropriate shade-providing trees • Consider use of warm-mix asphalt for new road and parking lot paving projects • Minimize water usage for irrigation and maximize reuse of stormwater runoff • Generate energy through means such as solar panels on shade structures to better utilize parking lots and underuti- lized sites ---PAGE BREAK--- 1.6 City of El Cerrito II. Strategically Leverage City Resources, Community and Partnerships For traditional and innovative ideas to succeed in Green Vision 2035, it is important to strategically leverage the City’s resources, programs, community, and stakeholder partnerships in the following ways: IIA. Build upon existing and concurrent plans The Urban Greening Plan is an important overlay over recent and concurrent plans as well as established development including short-term and long-term planned improvement projects. It is vital to build upon past efforts and ensure that the potential improvement opportunities can be effectively implemented. MIG will strive to maximize information contained in past plans such as the Circulation Plan for Bicycles and Pedestrians, Ohlone Greenway Master Plan, Draft San Pablo Avenue Streetscape Plan, and the Urban Forest Master Plan, and current planning efforts such as the Climate Action Plan and the City General Plan. The information provided by these planning efforts is invaluable, in terms of providing critical baseline conditions as well as improvement concepts that have community buy-in. IIB. Execute a Comprehensive Community Engagement Program Community meetings only reach a limited audience; and statistically valid surveys do not allow everyone to participate. MIG designs processes to go to where the people are: community events, online and in the parks. We harness existing social (traditional and online) networks to extend the reach and engage more people. We start each project by identifying the audiences we need to reach and adjusting our tools to meet the needs and expectations of each population. This is especially critical with non-English speaking and diverse populations. El Cerrito is a diverse community, and the planning process will require an innovative and comprehensive outreach process, which can include the following: • Identify community groups that have historically been less engaged in planning processes by interviewing City staff and community leaders, analyzing demographics and referring to MIG’s extensive outreach experience. These groups may then be engaged in the development of Green Vision 2035 in ways that accommodate their needs. • Produce traditional media such as flyers, postcards, newspaper advertisements and informational displays can announce community meetings and provide information about the planning process. • Develop technological outreach solutions to allow for both ongoing engagement in the planning process, and broad involvement in surveys or other time-specific plan elements. Technological outreach can come through a variety of media. The cornerstone of the approach will be a website, available in all relevant languages. Other strategies may include online map-based surveys, chat forums, email and text message alerts and surveys, and social media outreach. ---PAGE BREAK--- Urban Greening Plan 1.7 • Conduct in-person outreach and go directly to the community for input. Trained community members or students can be tasked with door-to-door surveys and providing information about the planning process in target neighborhoods. Representatives may also be at BART stations during the evening commute. • Conduct open-house feedback sessions during which community members can talk in small groups with the team. These conversations can take place at times and in places that are convenient for community members, and can include time at a local restaurant, the Farmer’s Market, local worship services, the library, parks, and schools. • Include community members of all ages in outreach efforts to not only allow younger community members to provide input into the plan, but also make engagement easier for parents who might otherwise have to stay home. Youth-specific meetings may also be held at schools and with youth groups. • Facilitate meetings to provide an open atmosphere in which community members can comfortably and equitably ask questions, provide feedback and directly participate in planning. • Introduce fun and nuanced dialogue to community meetings through the use of “facilitation graphics”, wallgraphics produced during meetings that participants can refer to a build off of during conversation. • Engage community-based organizations such as neighborhood groups, religious organizations, bike groups, non-profits, the El Cerrito Garden Network, and the Friends of Five Creeks. • Partner with the Urban Greening Taskforce, and engage City Committees like the Arts and Culture Commission, Tree Committee, Environmental Quality Committee Parks and Recreation Committee and Citizens Street Oversight Committee. • Focus Stakeholder Meetings: Besides partnering with the Urban Greening Taskforce and City Commissions and Committees, MIG proposes additional Focus Stakeholder meetings with public and private sector stakeholders, such as Kaiser Permanente, regional developers, organizations like East Bay MUD, BART, PG & E, the MTC, and the East Bay Regional Parks District, as well as community organizations and business groups at key milestones of the project to understand their concerns of and ‘test’ different public realm improvement ideas. These meetings provide an opportunity for the Consultant to inform various stakeholders as to how the greening improvements will help public and private realm development, which is essential to ensure that the recom- mendations are implemented. The full range of engagement techniques to be used on this project will be identified in collaboration with the city, and may not include all of the measures suggested above. ---PAGE BREAK--- 1.8 City of El Cerrito IIC. Accommodate and Encourage Infill Growth El Cerrito’s San Pablo Avenue corridor has been approved by the Association of Bay Area Governments as a Priority Development Area. As per this designation and the City’s Draft San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan, the City has significant opportunities for infill development. The Urban Greening Plan will serve to facilitate infill development by: • Establishing policies for development, redevelopments and retrofits that establish green space and public access requirements. • Working with developers to identify opportunities to work together and form public/private partnerships to create public and semi-public open spaces. IID. Work Lighter, Quicker and Cheaper MIG proposes to fully utilize all low-hanging fruit to increase green spaces in El Cerrito. Tactical Urbanism is a way of looking at cities and seeing opportunities for quick, inexpensive, and fun ways to make underutilized spaces accessible and enjoyable to the public. Tactical Urbanism is often used to expand greenspaces or recreation areas, temporarily or permanently. El Cerrito has many locations where Tactical Urbanism could be implemented without damaging or altering expensive underlying infrastructure. Examples include: • Converting on or off-street parking into small parks. These parks may be constructed and designed by community members for a day’s use, or may be designed and constructed by professionals to last months or years. The underlying street and parking infrastructure is left unchanged • Pop-up festivals or block parties can be arranged by closing a street or parking lot, welcoming food vendors, food trucks and musicians, and providing seating. This builds on the current MIG effort working with Off the Grid to bring food trucks weekly to Fairmount Avenue at San Pablo as part of the San Pablo Specific Plan project • Temporary pedestrian streets can be constructed and distinguished using decorative planters, and restaurants and shops can be invited to use the street space • Community or school gardens can be accommodated in planters placed on almost any surface • Crosswalk, street or sidewalk painting is a simple way to enliven and distinguish an area • Schoolyards and parking lots are frequently unused during late afternoon and evening hours. These places provide excellent recreation spaces and can be reimagined in many ways. For example, empty pavement can host volleyball tournaments, open-air movie screenings, craft fairs, or performances ---PAGE BREAK--- Statement of Experience and Qualifications S e c t i o n t w o ---PAGE BREAK--- large image caption ---PAGE BREAK--- Urban Greening Plan 2.3 About MIG MIG, Inc., is a multidisciplinary firm that focuses on developing plans that can be implemented. Our unique combination of design, management and communica- tions expertise allows us to conduct planning in a highly interactive process involving all constituent groups. Through MIG’s participatory planning process, client goals and community interests work together to frame key issues and generate workable solutions. At MIG, the diversity of our staff of over 135 provides a base of knowledge that bridges technical expertise and values, and facilitates the exchange of information and input between all parties engaged in the planning process. Staff backgrounds range from urban design and regional planning to environmental design, public participation, landscape architecture, architecture, communications, and public policy. Every project is viewed as a new opportunity to apply our expertise, but also to learn new approaches and techniques. Our work is characterized by a dedication to quality, a flexible approach, creativity in planning and design, and a commitment to completing projects on time and within budget. Areas of Expertise • Community Planning and Urban Design • Ecological Design and Landscape Architecture • Streetscapes and Corridors • Trails, Natural Areas and Greenways • Environmental and Regional Planning • Strategic Communications and Graphic Design • Interactive Technology/Townsquare™ Website Development • Community Outreach and Involvement • Facilitation and Consensus Building • Mapping and GIS Analysis Sustainable Techniques MIG’s design and planning practice is built on a foundation of creating sustainable projects that comprehensively integrates all aspects of low impact development from building public realm, and open space design to creative methods of harnessing energy, promoting healthy living and educating the community. The results are projects that achieve and reach beyond the objectives of Senate Bill 375 and Assembly Bill 32. The MIG Team’s approach to integrating sustainability is exemplified in the following ways: 1. Sustainable Planning MIG plans cities and downtowns utilizing various modeling techniques such as Index and MXD (mixed use development modeling) to clearly quantify and directly correlate the benefits of enhanced pedestrian and bicycle connectivity and appropriate scale of neighborhoods, blocks and streets with increased pedestrian, bicycle and transit usage and reduction in green house gas emissions. MIG integrates LEED-ND categories including Smart Location and Linkage, Neighborhood Pattern and Design, Green Infrastructure and Buildings, and Innovation and Design Process into our projects. This is exemplified in the two current projects being planned for LEED-ND Platinum certification: the City of Los Angeles 1st & Mission Design for Development; and, Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook. 2. Complete Streets With more than a third of the public owned land in most cities contained in the public right-of-way (ROW), MIG focuses on reconfiguring and reclaiming it to prioritize non-automobile usage by improving the transit, pedestrian and bicycle environment and mobility through a variety of techniques that include lane reductions, road diets, innovative bike programs, traffic calming measures such as roundabouts and bulbouts, and an engaging public-private interface. Successful MIG examples of the visioning, planning, design and implementation of complete streets in California include West Capitol Ave in West Sacramento and Downtown Long Beach Transit Mall that is scheduled to open next month. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2.4 City of El Cerrito 3. Green Streets The design of complete streets also involves integration of storm water elements such as bioswales, stormwater planters, and other techniques such as maximizing pervious surfaces, tree cover and native planting to minimize storm water run off and to improve the water quality. MIG’s design of Dixieanne Avenue, the first green street of Sacramento, has not just been technically successful in achieving its storm water management goals, but also been embraced by the community in its maintenance and management operations. More recently, MIG is working to design and implement the largest green street installation along a main street in Southern California-Pine Avenue in Long Beach. 4. Water Conservation: In the design of parks, open spaces and streets, providing high distribution uniformity. Tools include ET-based controllers, moisture sensing, point source irrigation and irrigation audits. 5. Green Infrastructure MIG encourages integrating active means of designing open space and built environments that get ‘off the grid’ in terms of being able to manage their water and energy needs on-site and minimizing impacts on the City’s infrastructure. Successful techniques used with in the public and private sector include capturing and reusing rainwater, treating sewage on-site, and generating energy by capturing and harnessing power from sun, wind and kinetic energy, as exemplified in MIG’s planning of the UC Davis’ West Village Campus scheduled to open this summer. 6. Edible Landscape and Urban Agriculture A key component of achieving comprehensive sustainability beyond its traditional definition is to improve access and availability of fresh food that increases the health and wellness of communities. Working with developers, community activists and cities in disadvantage and under- privileged communities, MIG is creating edible landscapes in the form of green roofs, vertical gardens, community gardens and planters, and infill urban farms. 7. Regenerative Landscape A healthy landscape takes less to maintain and sustain. MIG implements strategies that nurture the soil, allowing the biology in the soil to function properly, which in turn sequesters carbon and reduces carbon emissions, minimizes landfill waste and water use, increases biodiversity and habitat, and maximizes the overall health of the landscape. MIG utilizes a creative approach that looks at each project individually, assessing site conditions and project goals, and subsequently crafts solutions that maximize health and ecology while minimizing maintenance and other costs. MIG is on-call to advise and inform communities about Regenerative Landscapes and our Techniques. 8. Flexible Open Spaces MIG’s design ensure that each and every piece of open space, be it in parks or streets, is used for more than one use and is flexible to transform its use and role based on the time of the day or day of the week. Be it parking lanes in streets used for outdoor dining or parking lots serving parks used as farmers market, MIG programs all open spaces for multiple uses. Finally, MIG is working on a NEA grant funded project that is looking to relook at the design of the public realm (parks, plazas and streets). A national conference of experts from the various fields of design, planning and engineering as well as manufacturers of street furnishings and play ground equipment and community activists will look to redesign the public realm for enhanced sustainability. Community Outreach MIG is an international and national leader in public involvement services for cities, agencies and regional governments. MIG has extensive experience designing public outreach and involvement programs that educate the community, encourage participation and provide staff and elected officials with meaningful community input. MIG’s community involvement processes help develop a base of support so that plans can be readily implemented. We approach each project as an opportunity to build client capacity for conducting productive processes and reaching consensus. MIG founded the re:Streets initiative, funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. This charette and travelling workshop program brings together staff from a range of city bureaus, engineers and design professionals to rethink the idea and purpose of urban streets. Collaborative efforts have resulted in an interactive manual of solutions (restreets.org) created to harness how innovation and technology can change streets and improve communities. ---PAGE BREAK--- Urban Greening Plan 2.5 About Sherwood Sherwood Design Engineers is a Civil and Environmental Engineering firm headquartered in San Francisco.

The seven main areas the MIG team focused on were: • Build Community • Improve Connectivity • Promote Healthy Lifestyle • Increase Recreation Opportunities • Foster Sustainable Landscape to Enhance Financial Value • Promote Safety The success of the project lies in the fact that all areas were addressed with the overriding principle of connectivity in mind. The community has a chance now to celebrate and come together at various outdoor venues, landmarks and cultural features. Bike routes were created and linked to public transit options, which helps to promote a low-emission commute. Fitness equipment and healthy foods were introduced to the parks along with aquatic recreation features to promote a healthy lifestyle. To address sustain- ability MIG introduced roof gardens, a California friendly landscape palette and storm water management. 100 acres of new green space is proposed throughout the city, while at the same time reducing GHG emissions consistent with the California Global Warming Act of 2006. In addition to increasing green space throughout the City, the Urban Greening Plan focused on developing a system of green corridors connecting residents, visitors, and employees to both existing and planned high-density urban areas. The Plan identifies projects that emphasize shade trees, pocket parks and open spaces, multi-modal non-motorized trails and pathways, demonstration gardens, wildlife corridors, bioswales, and other storm water filtration and collections systems, and city-wide plant palette.

The challenge of this project was to look at all potential opportunities to increase the amount of green open space and maximize usage of the existing parks. The existing conditions analysis addressed the challenges of a very confined community with limited open space by carefully considering the activities that should be supported in each site and within the system as a whole. The recommendations included a series of improvement to existing parks, and a preliminary site program and conceptual design for each new park space types that included community gardens and linear greenways over abandoned rail tracks. Based on extensive public input, all recommendations are guided by a strong ethic of environmental and financial sustainability. The ability to continue to maintain and operate new facilities played a key role in the prioritization and phasing decisions alongside the ability of the park system to improve water and air quality and capture and store carbon. .

MIG developed an overall vision for the station, analyzed existing opportunities and challenges, developed urban design recommendations that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and prepared open space and streetscape development guidelines. The Plan increases open spaces, pedestrian and bicycle connectivity and integrates sustainable development patterns to create an active urban village. The project resulted in the implementation of Dixieanne Tot Lot, Winner’s Circle Park, and Dixeanne Ave Green Street project. Dixieanne Avenue Green Street Plan Sacramento, California Streetscape improvements in this narrow ROW included tree lined sidewalks, Class III bike facilities and iconic art that reflects the community values. The key element of the “Green Street” minimizes impervious surfaces and urban runoff through the use of stormwater planters along separated sidewalks, bioswales in midblock bulbouts, pervious paving in traffic circle and pocket plaza and context sensitive planting palette. This cost-effective integrated stormwater management drainage solution helped minimize the demand on the area’s overloaded CSS system and improved the overall water quality, before it drains into the nearby American River. Construction was completed in September 2009. It earned the APWA Sacramento Chapter’s 2009 Transportation Project of the Year Award and the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies 2010 Green Good Design Award. ---PAGE BREAK--- Urban Greening Plan 2.21 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2.22 City of El Cerrito San Lorenzo Creek Watershed drains about 50 square miles from the East Bay Hills down to San Francisco Bay. Eleven major creeks feed into it as it passes through a spectrum of environments, ranging from pristine headwaters to agricul- tural lands to highly urbanized areas like Downtown Hayward and San Leandro. In an urban context, proximity to this riparian corridor presents a critical responsibility to address flood risk. Beginning in October 2007, MIG worked closely with the County and Flood Control District, facilitating over 25 technical workshops to develop effective, sustainable and financially sound solutions. District staff, together with planning and technical consultants, grounded the process with wide-ranging expertise in environmental planning, engineering, hydraulics and hydrological modeling, sediment transport, cost estimating, financial assessment, organiza- tional analysis, urban design and landscape architecture. Primary components of the planning process included development of flood protection alternatives, identification and of corridor enhancement projects and programs, analysis of financing mechanisms, and devel- opment of public outreach tools. The resulting Concept Plan provides for improved flood protection and restored habitat. It recognizes the potential of San Lorenzo Creek as an economic and recreational resource. Now in the review process, the plan identifies critical human health and safety projects, provides a compelling vision for the creek corridor, integrates a variety of additional potential enhancement projects, incorporates decision-making guidance for County Supervisors and City staff, and quantifies necessary implementation funds.

Vacant, surplus land under the DWP transmission power line easement was “recreated” with funding from the Rivers and Mountains Conservation Authority to promote riparian habitat enhancement along the San Gabriel River. The decomposed granite trail provides access throughout the area. Phase I of this project was from 2002 to 2003, and Phase II followed from 2006 to 2007. The construction cost for this project was $1,500,000. Amenities • Half mile decomposed granite trail • Secured fenced entries to site • Fully automated irrigation system • California grassland cover • Native, riparian plant materials • Drought tolerant plant materials • Informal boulder seating area • Convenient parking adjacent to Monte Verde Park Phases I and II were awarded 2003 ASLA Merit Award and 2003 and 2007 APWA Project of the Year. Based on the success of this project, MIG was commissioned to design another portion of the trail along the San Gabriel River between Atherton and Willow Streets in Long Beach. MIG prepared construction documents for Phase III of this project; funded by the Proposition 84 Grant. ---PAGE BREAK--- Urban Greening Plan 2.25 Phases I and II 2003 and 2007 APWA Project of the Year; 2003 ASLA Merit Award ---PAGE BREAK--- 2.26 City of El Cerrito West Capitol Avenue is a major east-west, 3.5-mile long arterial and commercial spine running through West Sacramento. The Urban Design and Streetscape Master Plan focused on creating a vibrant streetscape corridor that would be the heart of the community between Harbor Boulevard on the west end and the railroad underpass on the east. MIG led a multidisciplinary team of urban designers, archi- tects, planners, traffic engineers, environmental planners and economic to develop a new vision, implementation plan, and construction drawings that set the stage for long-awaited redevelopment along the corridor. The project consisted of two major phases - Community involvement and conceptual design through construction documents. Project challenges involved the redesign of the public- private interface, signage and wayfinding, traffic and circulation, infrastructure, financing strategies, and overall streetscape standards. Preferred land uses, and necessary ordinance and zoning changes were also considered. Infra- structure plans were developed to assure that underground utilities like sewer, water and storm drainage are adequate for new development.

The bicycle experience, safety, parking, multi-modal accessibility, low maintenance landscape, and recre- ational opportunities were the primary features for this project. MIG selected a landscape palette of native and drought tolerant plants that once established could survive on the Valley’s limited rainfall. To enhance the pedestrian and bicyclist experience, five shade structures were strategically located along the bike trail. The shade structures, designed to mimic the historic train stations and stops, serve as rest stops for bicyclers, joggers, and pedestrians. Each one has a drinking fountain, bike parking, benches, and an historic railroad interpretive sign. Following the railroad theme MIG designed a prototypical gateway that marks the entrance into each of the three neighborhoods through which the bike trail passes. A railroad theme crosswalk was also designed for most street crossings. MIG has continued working on the Sacramento Northern Bikeway with the preparation of the Master Plan and Construction Documents for a 1.8-mile extension for the County of Sacramento. This section of the bikeway is more rural than the first five miles, and will reflect the local character and history. This 100-foot wide bikeway extension links the rural community of Elverta with the American River Parkway and offers the opportunity for environmental learning area; wider, multi-use trails; and oak and grassland restoration. ---PAGE BREAK--- Urban Greening Plan 2.29 The connecting element within the “Aspen” community is the Greenbelt. Unlike most greenbelts, which are turf and trees with a bike lane through the middle, the Aspen greenbelt attempts to make diverse play spaces within these bike and jogger thoroughfares, as well as applying the concepts of sustainable plant materials and open channel drainage. The open channel drainage takes runoff street water into the park instead of undergrounding it. In this manner water enters the park where it can serve as a groundwater recharge, be an integral part of play, and illustrate the connection between people, water use, and nature. Aspen Greenbelt Davis, California The greenbelt includes a foothill zone of native oaks and redbuds on the southern slopes of the greenbelt; a California native grasses area near a dry wash; a native willow planting zone in the stream channel; a creek side beach with washed-up logs, exposed boulders, sand and shells; an orchard of gridded sycamores reminiscent of the valley farms that surround Davis; a grassy volcano and mesa earth sculptures for adventure play; and an open, large, grassy meadow surrounded by redwoods for active play. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2.30 City of El Cerrito Built in 1976 in the original bed of Temescal Creek, the half-mile greenway was impacted by pedestrian traffic, land-use changes and erosion issues. Temescal Creek was relocated to an underground culvert by the Alameda County Flood Control District, replaced by a shallow stream that is supplied by water pumped from the subterranean creek. Collaborating with the city, the Friends of Rockridge Greenway neighborhood association, and a number of special interest groups, MIG re-designed the meandering walkway shaded by mature trees. The design improves connections to neighborhood activities and includes a new walkway, a dry creek expression of the original creek, native riparian plantings, a butterfly attracting garden and seating areas. Rockridge-Temescal Greenway Oakland, California This multi-phase, design-build project also included a renovation for Redondo Park at the end of the Greenway. The park now has a new decomposed granite walkway, gathering spaces, improved stream bed access, new planting and enhanced irrigation. ---PAGE BREAK--- S e c t i o n t h r e e Work Plan ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- Urban Greening Plan 3.3 Work Plan In order to create a unique and implementable El Cerrito Urban Greening Plan, MIG proposes the following detailed work plan. This plan corresponds with the accompanying schedule and budget sheet: TASK 1: PROJECT INITIATION AND MANAGEMENT MIG will meet with key members of the City Staff for a kick-off meeting to refine the scope, schedule, and deliverables, as well as to confirm objectives and a structure for the planning process. This meeting will include an interactive discussion about the project area assets, issues and opportunities. The meeting will also discuss the overall engagement strategy with the Urban Greening Plan Team (UGPT), key stakeholders and neighborhood community groups. The MIG Team will work with the El Cerrito Environmental Services Division and Public Works Departments department to develop a branding and public relations campaign plan which may build upon successful models and techniques from recent and current planning projects done by the City and MIG. Where needed, it will incorporate inter- active social media that may include Facebook, Twitter and blogs into the overall communications plan. As an optional task, the MIG Team can develop a unique, interactive web portal for the project that builds upon thousands of hours of development time devoted to our TownSquare™ web interface designed specifically for engaging communities in planning and designing efforts. MIG will manage all aspects of the project to maintain project schedule and budget, maintain continuous liaison with City’s Project Manager and other interested parties, and provide continuing consultation and advice to Staff on all matters relating to the project. There will be regular bi-weekly (in person or conference call) meetings with City Staff, attendance at Multi-Jurisdictional Public Meetings, and participation, if needed, in the quarterly conference calls with agency leadership. MIG will prepare all the invoices during the course of the project. Key Deliverables: Bi-weekly City Staff meeting agenda, presentation materials (PowerPoint and graphics where needed), and brief meeting summary memos Communication Plan Memo Regular weekly updates to Facebook and Twitter invoices TASK 2 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT MIG will lead development of a comprehensive, multi- pronged approach to engaging a wide range of stake- holders who have a vested interest in the urban greening of El Cerrito. MIG will design and produce the primary communication and outreach tools for the project including a project website, event flyers and a brochure. The project website—designed, hosted and maintained by MIG for the duration of the project—will serve as the communication portal at all levels of the project to include a document library, event calendar, discussion forum, survey tool, and similar features. City, MIG and other project staff will have password-protected access to a document library to share technical information, while stakeholders and the public may sign-up to receive automatic email notifications when new information is posted for viewing or downloading by the project team. MIG will design flyers to notice the public events (3 total), and a project brochure to provide basic project information and encourage closer involvement through the website and public events. For all of each of these communication tools, MIG will one text/content-draft, followed by one final design draft—City staff will review each draft, providing MIG with one consolidated set of revisions for each draft. The City will be responsible for all printing and distribution costs for the event flyers and brochure. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3.4 City of El Cerrito Throughout the planning process MIG will work with the City to design conduct an integrated public participation process that engages the community at critical points. MIG will design and produce materials for two two-hour public meetings/workshops, and one four-hour community charrette. The overall purpose of the meetings will be as follows: • Public Meeting/Workshop Discuss overall vision, assets, issues, opportunities and challenges • Community Charrette: An interactive workshop that allows community members to plan and design the network of interconnected open space and discuss the various types of open spaces. • Public Meeting/Workshop Discussed preferred concepts and implementation strategies Each of these events will include slideshow presentations, up to 10 display/map exhibits, and handout materials—City staff will review and provide consolidated revisions to initial and final drafts of each item. MIG will provide up to three staff members at each event to provide facilitation and graphic recording support, and will develop one concise summary memorandum of the key findings from each event. MIG will conduct a citywide needs assessment related to urban greening elements to include access trails, walking paths, and community character issues. In addition to MIG’s technical analysis, the needs assessment will include data from a web-based community survey, which MIG will design and distribute through City communication channels. To augment the public events, MIG will design up to two slideshow presentations during the process to assist with interaction with urban greening task force and boards, committees and commissions. This material will also be utilized as part of engagement with underrepresented populations, for which MIG recommends conducting two rounds of presentations during the project to these groups: • City of El Cerrito Committees • Arts and Culture Commission • Tree Committee • Environmental Quality Committee • Parks and Recreation Committee • Citizens Street Oversight Committee • Utilize “Community Voice” page of City Website • El Cerrito Businesses • Business Improvement District • Chamber of Commerce • Rotary Club • Community Based Organizations • El Cerrito Community Garden Network • Friends of Five Creeks • Ohlone Greenway Committee • East Bay Bicycle Coalition • Bicycle Advisory Committee • El Cerrito Neighborhood Groups • El Cerrito Religious Organizations • El Cerrito Non-Profit Groups • El Cerrito Schools • Youth Groups • PTA Meetings • Other Organizations • Metropolitan Transportation Committee • East Bay Municipal Utilities District • East Bay Parks • Pacific Gas and Electric • BART In addition to the slideshow presentations, MIG will design simple and concise comment cards that allow audience members to provide brief written input to the project. The MIG Project Manager and/or other key staff will participate in up to 10 of these presentations throughout the process, while City staff will lead the remaining presentations. Key Deliverables: • Public information materials—website flyers brochure • Public events • Community charrette ---PAGE BREAK--- Urban Greening Plan 3.5 • Interaction with Urban Greening Task Force and Boards, Committees and Commissions (4 meetings) • Citywide Needs Assessment and Community Survey • Plan for Engagement of Underrepresented Populations (materials, and 10 meetings) TASK 3: NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND DATA COLLECTION During this phase of the study, the MIG Team will conduct a thorough review of the relevant planning documents listed in the RFP, the General Plan as well as other information related to projects underway in the key areas. The MIG Team will work with the City-provided aerial photographs, GIS, CAD and other digital maps of the area provided by the City that show open space, land use, zoning, development standards, circulation, and infrastructure. Using the information provided, the MIG Team will conduct a City wide site analysis with special emphasis on the four focus areas to study the existing conditions, including the open space, land use, circulation and issues and opportunity sites which will photographed documented and mapped on the existing conditions maps. In addition, MIG will create an initial set of focused stakeholder meetings to ascertain the constraints and opportunities for creating a successful Urban Greening Plan. Based on the literature review and site analysis, MIG will create a preliminary Open Space Needs Update & Green Space Assessment Memo. This will include: • Green open space needs assessment & opportunity analysis that will first update the inventory of green space existing in the City by using the General Plan and related El Cerrito green documents, GIS documents, and existing City Policy and Urban Greening Best Practices as a baseline and overlaying new and planned spaces green spaces proposed as part of different development projects. In addition, the analysis will look at all potential opportunities to identify additional green open space. • Non-motorized connectivity needs assessment and opportunity analysis will be based upon findings of various relevant city documents. In addition, a day long site visit will identify existing pedestrian facilities (such as condition of paving, shade and traffic buffer for pedestrians, etc.), existing bicycle facilities in the area and their connectivity, existing and planned transit facilities (such as general location and condition of transit stops, etc), transit ridership data and headways, existing barriers that hinder the connectivity of alternative modes (high volume/speed roadways, freeways, railroad tracks, rivers, etc.), existing roadway cross-sections and locations with high levels of alternative mode use and why they facilitate that behavior. • GHG reduction needs assessment and opportunity analysis by analyzing the findings of Emission Management Plan, data from the Public Works Department, and Sustainability Information Management System. • Green infrastructure improvement needs assessment and opportunity analysis by MIG and Sherwood Engineers Engineering by looking at various existing and planned open space improvement in the public (streets, parks, etc) and private realm (parking lots, utility corridors, etc) that include ways to minimize storm water run-offs; water quality, conservation and harvesting; and, energy conservation and generation including solar and wind power. • Health and Wellness needs assessment and opportunity analysis by MIG by closely working with the City of El Cerrito and looking at ways to create healthy community through environmental strategies such as GHG reduction and enhanced non-motorized connectivity listed above, but also other strategies such as improved access to healthy food and how they can incorporated in the design of new and existing open spaces. In addition, MIG will create a preliminary potential network of open spaces that can be overlaid on the City street network. These documents will be reviewed by the City and discussed at UGPT Meeting and refined based on input received, which in turn will be presented at neighborhood meetings. Feedback received from the community and City Staff will help finalize the Green Space and Connectivity needs assessment. Key Deliverables: • Portfolio of Baseline Conditions Maps (Draft and Final) –in electronic format • Needs Assessment and Green Space Assessment (Draft and Final Memos) – three full color hard copies and one electronic copy • Agendas, comment cards, presentation materials (PowerPoint and poster size graphics), and meeting summary memos of Urban Greening Planning Team Meetings • Agendas, comment cards, sign-in sheets, presentation materials (PowerPoint and poster size graphics), and meeting summary memos. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3.6 City of El Cerrito TASKS 4: DRAFT AND FINAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT This phase of the project will begin with a second MIG Team design charette that will initially discuss a preliminary list of open space and connectivity improvements that could be developed Citywide especially in disadvantaged commu- nities and park deficient neighborhoods such. Key City Staff will be invited to actively participate in the development and review of preliminary design ideas and strategies. Based on input received and preferred Staff direction, MIG will prepare a preliminary overarching list of open spaces and develop prototypical open green space concepts and strategies. Each prototypical concept, be it a linear corridor or a pocket park, will be illustrated with a well-dimensioned prototypical plan and section; a set of design standards that will, among other things, help determine where the open space improvements could potentially be located and quantify development standards such as desirable widths of pedestrian and bicycle paths; an image board of potential palette of materials and furnishings; and, a narrative explanation that identifies how the proposed concepts can establish strong pedestrian and bicycle environments and create sustainable places. The preliminary design concepts will be presented to key City Staff and revised to reflect their feedback. MIG Team will analyze the benefits of the proposed green open space improvements in the two focus areas to ascertain the benefits of a) improved circulation and connec- tivity for non-motorized users, b) reduction in GHGs and VMTs, c) green infrastructure improvements with regards to reduction in stormwater run-off, reuse and conservation of water usage, creation of energy, etc using rule of thumb calculations for sizing of bio-swales, bio-retention basins and other storm water filtration and collection systems; and, d) community health and wellness benefits. Specific concepts and strategies will be created to encourage the implemen- tation these benefits. These concepts, strategies and accompanying benefits will be reviewed by City Staff and subsequent UGPT Meeting to discuss the preferred and priority concepts. Based on the feedback received, MIG will refine the preferred design concepts and strategies, and begin preparation of the preliminary Draft Urban Greening Plan. This plan will reflect the table of contents identified in the grant application and include all the deliverables mentioned so far in an easily readable format. The text and graphics will clearly illustrate the various design concepts and provide clear direction to implement the plan including a preliminary prioritization, and financing and funding sources The preliminary Draft Plan will be reviewed by City Staff who will provide one set of comments in electronic format. These comments will be included in subsequent version of the Draft Plan and key recommendations of the Plan will be presented at UGPT Meeting. Input received from the various forums will be incorporated in the refined Draft Plan which will be submitted to the City and State for their internal review. Key recommendations of the Draft Plan will be presented at Open House hosted by the City. Informed by the input received in the previous tasks and the goals and objectives of the Urban Greening Plan, MIG will create a preliminary planting palette that will only include native or California friendly plants and trees and reflect the diverse needs of El Cerrito, that include maintenance, water and energy conservation, minimizing heat island effect and GHGs, and need to reinforce identity of the City and individual neighborhoods through a well designed landscape. MIG will review the preliminary palette with Key City Staff including representatives from Planning, Public Works, Public Utilities and Community Services Department to gather input and accordingly refine the palette for subsequent City Staff and State review.
