Approve an Agreement with Schneider CM to Provide Construction
Management and Inspection Services for the Veterans Memorial Park
Project
All
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving a professional service agreement with Schneider CM for
construction management and inspection services for the Veterans Memorial Park Project.
Executive Summary
Staff require the assistance of a firm to provide full-time construction management and
inspection services for the Veterans Memorial Park Project. The city issued a request for
proposals for construction management and inspection services and a staff selection committee
completed its review of the proposing firms’ qualifications. Based on that process, staff
recommend authorizing an agreement with Schneider CM in an amount not to exceed
$1,390,164.
This professional service agreement must be approved by the City Council under Carlsbad
Municipal Code Section 3.28.060(D)(5) because the value of the construction management and
inspection services is greater than $100,000.
Explanation & Analysis
Background
Veterans Memorial Park, Capital Improvement Program Project No. 4609, is designed as a
family-oriented park with a variety of multi-generational and inclusive amenities, with both
active and passive recreational elements. The other integral component of the master plan
design is an intent to honor veterans for their service and commitment to the country. The
park’s design also limits environmental impacts and celebrates the site’s natural beauty and
views. The final master plan amenities introduced a bike park, three playgrounds, native
gardens, a fitness climb and an overlook showcasing the views from the park.
•On Nov. 17, 2020, the City Council amended and extended a professional service
agreement with RJM Design Group for design services on the project (Resolution 2020-
222)
•On July 26, 2022, the City Council adopted the final Veterans Memorial Park Master Plan
prepared by RJM Design Group (Resolution No. 2022-196)
Sept. 26, 2023 Item #2 Page 1 of 19
• Since that time, RJM Design Group has been working with staff to prepare plans,
specifications and construction contract documents
• Staff anticipate returning to the City Council this December to request authorization to
release bids for the project
Services needed
A construction management and inspection firm is now needed to provide preconstruction and
construction services for the project.
Preconstruction services include constructability review of the plans, specifications and bid
documents prior to release for bids, to provide a high level of accuracy and minimize the
potential for change orders during the project. Schneider CM will also participate in contractor
prequalification activities including onsite meetings and site walks with prospective bidders to
ensure they are familiar with the project site and contract requirements prior to submitting bids.
Construction services include onsite project management, inspection and project close-out
activities.
Bidding process
On March 6, 2023, staff published a request for proposals for the construction management and
inspection consulting services for the project.
Seven consultant proposals were received on April 6, 2023, and copies were distributed to a
selection committee comprised of staff from the Public Works Branch and Parks & Recreation
Department. Proposal responses were evaluated in accordance with Carlsbad Municipal Code
Section 3.28.060(A), and each committee member was required to sign a confidentiality
agreement to ensure fairness of the selection process. Proposals were evaluated based on the
adherence to content and submission requirements, overall consultant company qualifications
and experience, consultant’s team qualifications and experience, project staffing approach and
work plan, client references from relevant projects and recent experience and local presence.
The staff selection committee’s independent analyses and evaluations were tabulated and
ranked. Staff then invited four firms to meet with the selection committee on June 28, 2023. The
selection committee then completed additional independent analyses after the interviews.
The committee recommends the City Council award an agreement for construction
management and inspection services to Schneider CM for a negotiated amount not to exceed
$1,390,164.
Fiscal Analysis
Community Facilities District No. 1, which was established in 1991, created a special tax lien on
vacant properties throughout the city to finance the construction of specifically identified public
facilities of citywide obligation and benefit, including this park. Funds from the district can only
be spent on those facilities.
The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program budget adopted by the City Council on
June 13, 2023, identifies a total of $41,711,450 appropriated for the project to date from
Community Facilities District No. 1: $3 million in federal grant funding and $5 million in state
grant funding, for a total current appropriation of $49,711,450. There are no additional
appropriations forecast or requested at this time.

Next Steps
Staff will process a professional service agreement with Schneider CM. Once a purchase order is
issued, staff will schedule a kick-off meeting, and the consultant will start the preconstruction
plan and contract documents review work and assist with development of final construction bid
documents.
Once the design work is completed and bid documents prepared, staff will return to the City
Council for approval of the project plans and authorization to advertise the project for
construction bidding, which is expected to be in December 2023.
Environmental Evaluation
On June 15, 2022, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 7453, approving a mitigated
negative declaration and mitigation monitoring and reporting program for the project, and
adopted Resolution No. 7454, approving Conditional Use Permit CUP 2021-0014, Coastal
Development Permit CDP 2021-0052, Hillside Development Permit HDP 2021-0006, and Habitat
Management Plan Permit HMP 2021-0006 for Veterans Memorial Park.
On July 26, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 2022-196, adopting the final Veterans
Memorial Park Master Plan, and making a finding of compliance with the Growth Management
Plan/Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan Parks Performance Standard. This action is
consistent with implementation of the approved project and no additional environmental review
is required.

Procore is to reduce cost and schedule risk, improve quality and safety, and maintain a healthy team
dynamic by improving information flow, reducing non-productive activities, reducing rework and
decreasing turnaround times. The Contractor is required to create a free web-based Procore user
account(s) and utilize web-based training / tutorials (as needed) to become familiar with the system.
Unless the Engineer approves otherwise, the Contractor shall process all project documents through
Procore because this platform will be used to submit, track, distribute and collaborate on project. If
unfamiliar or not otherwise trained with Procore, Contractor and applicable team members shall
complete a free training certification course located at http://learn.procore.com/procore-certification-
subcontractor. The Contractor is responsible for attaining their own Procore support, as needed, either
through the online training or reaching out to the Procore support team. It will be the responsibility of the
Contractor to regularly check Procore and review updated documents as they are added. There will be no
cost to the Contractor for use of Procore.

installed to at least one on-site individual to provide real-time access to current posted drawings,
specifications, RFIs, submittals, schedules, change orders, project documents, as well as any deficient
observations or punch list items. Providing mobile access will improve communication, efficiency, and
productivity for all parties. The use of Procore for project management does not relieve the contractor of
any other requirements as may be specified in the contract documents.
8. STATUS OF CONTRACTOR
Contractor will perform the Services in Contractor's own way as an independent contractor and in pursuit
of Contractor's independent calling, and not as an employee of City. Contractor will be under control of
City only as to the result to be accomplished, but will consult with City as necessary. The persons used by
Contractor to provide services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any
purposes.
