RE: City of Huntington Park - Salt Lake Park renovations
Background
At its August 25, 2011 meeting, the Vernon City Council adopted Resolution 2011-149
affirming the City's commitment to good governance reform measures. As part of the reforms the City
committed $5 million to assist in the renovation of Salt Lake Park in the City of Huntington Park.
Staff from both cities reviewed several potential projects and it was identified that the most feasible
project was the renovation of the soccer fields and the design and construction of a splash pad. At its
October 24, 2011 special meeting, the Huntington Park City Council authorized staff to proceed with the
soccer field/splash pad project.
Huntington Park staff issued a request for proposal for the landscape architectural design for the project.
After reviewing multiple proposals their staff recommends the project be awarded to Lawrence Moss
and Associates based on their quality of work and their competitive bid price. The design plan is
estimated to be $124,000. Attached is Lawrence Moss and Associates proposal.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the funding for the design plans

other presentations.

JAIME YAMASHITA, Landscape Architect, Associate
Jaime specializes in translating conceptual designs into buildable projects. Her projects have
primarily been in the public sector and include parks, plazas, and trails. Often these projects have
incorporated a significant amount of community participation as well as consensus building with
other organizations, departments, and agencies. Jaime has led community -based workshops that
have involved site investigation, design charrettes, and design review. Her ability to problem
solve creatively has helped projects get completed on time and with the support of numerous
stakeholders.
During her final year in graduate school, Jaime served as the primary author of the West Covina
Green .Linkages Plan, a master plan project that focused on using street and public space
improvements to create non -vehicular connections for travel throughout the city. The team
developed a network of sidewalks, bike Ianes, equestrian paths, and hiking trails that linked to
services and served as recreational destinations.
Previously, Jaime has worked as the plant buyer for a regional nursery. Her in-depth plant
knowledge has helped in developing plant palettes that are responsive to the local site conditions

SECTION 6 EXPERIENCE
Our park experience ranges from very small pocket park projects to multi -modal recreational
facilities and from urban plazas to native/restoration natural parks. The majority of our projects
have been public projects and as a result, we are well -versed in public space design. We
understand which elements work best in public settings.and we strive to educate our clients about
the choices they have whether it be drought tolerant plants or vandalism -resistant site furnishings.
The following projects represent the extensive experience of LRM
VINCENT LUGO PARK, SAN GABRIEL, CA
LRM provided a conceptual design and construction documents for the 10 acre Vincent Lugo
Park. The design includes playground and tot lot areas, parking, baseball field, soccer fields,
interpretive paths, signage, picnic shelters, and restrooms. The interpretive path is designed to
showcase a native planting palette. The unique aspect of this park is that there will be two natural
stream beds which will collect surface runoff from the neighboring streets and park area. The
system will have the capacity to recharge 800 cubic feet of water. The hydraulics were calculated
for 10 year, 25 year, and 50 year storm events from data developed by the Los Angeles County
Department of Public Works to estimate runoff within the tributary to the park site. We worked
extensively with the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy to meet all project criteria.

concrete seat wails on the exterior circle is
intended to be a meditation space for park users. Drought tolerant
plants with informational signage are used throughout
the planting areas.

PALM STREET LINEAR PARK, BELLFLOWER, CA
The primary design objective of the almost 3 acre parcel is to develop a beautiful,
environmentally sensitive urban park that provides a safe place for residents to enjoy. The key
design elements for the park include a series of soft -bottom swales that will capture and treat
stormwater run-off from the adjacent 91 Freeway, Additionally the project will integrate a
natural woodland feel by incorporating California native plant demonstration gardens among
meandering walking paths and pedestrian bridges over the swales. In addition to the natural
features, the park design also includes a playground, an area for Bellflower's mobile recreation
facilities, picnic tables and a parking area with permeable paving. The project is a partnership
with the City of Bellflower and the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy. Project cost is $1.5
million.
