BACKGROUND
In May of 2016, the City of Santa Clarita (City) and Los Angeles County (County) entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to construct a new 45,000 -square -foot sheriffs station,
along with a 4,000 -square -foot vehicle maintenance facility and helipad to serve the entire Santa
Clarita Valley. The current station located at 23740 Magic Mountain Parkway was built in 1972

and is no longer adequate to effectively serve the needs of the community. The Santa Clarita
Valley Sheriff's Station (Sheriff's Station) is identified in the Public Safety theme of the City's
Santa Clarita 2020 strategic plan.
In November 2016, the City Council awarded the contracts for Phase 1 of the project, which
included the preparation of the environmental and geotechnical studies and concept design for
the project. Subsequently in June 2017, the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration
(IS/MND) for the project was completed in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act as part of Phase 1.
The IS/MND document was posted and made available for review by state agencies and the
public. Comments were appropriately addressed, and the final Mitigated Negative Declaration
(MND) was approved and certified by the City Council on August 22, 2017. Approval of the
MND by City Council marked the completion of Phase 1, allowing the project to move forward
with Phase 2.
Phase 2 is the design phase of the project. It includes finalizing the concept design developed in
Phase 1, and the preparation of all associated architectural, structural, and civil engineering
drawings, and specifications necessary for the construction of the project. In addition, the
architectural services outlined in the contract will include assisting the City during the bid and
selection of the contractor, as well as providing construction administration services during the
construction phase of the project. The total fee, as set forth herein, is inclusive of the above-
mentioned scope of work.
The process to select the best qualified architectural firm was separated into two parts. The first
part was a prequalification phase to establish a short list of firms qualified through knowledge
and experience in designing law enforcement facilities. The second part of the selection process
included a Request for Proposals (RFP) from the short list of architects to further evaluate and
score each firm in a number of categories to determine the best qualified firm for the design of
the project.
During the prequalification phase a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSOQ) was
advertised and posted on PlanetBids. The RFSOQ established minimum qualifications for
architectural firms interested in submitting a proposal for the project. Qualifications included
extensive experience in the design of law enforcement facilities, including Type I detention
facilities.
At the conclusion of the prequalification process, three firms were selected to move forward with
the RFP process. All three firms successfully met the minimum qualifications of the RFSOQ:
Firm
HDR Architecture
Leach Mounce Architects
WLC Architects, Inc.
Location
Los Angeles, California
Ventura, California
Rancho Cucamonga, California
The RFP was distributed to each of the three architectural firms on July 10, 2017, with a final
submittal date for proposals of August 22, 2017.
Page 2
Packet Pg. 22
Each of the proposals from the three firms were independently evaluated and scored by a seven -
member panel consisting of staff from the City's Capital Improvement Projects division,
consultants from MNS Engineers, Inc., and Arcadis U.S., Inc., as well as the Director of the
Facilities Planning Bureau for the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department and the Santa
Clarita Valley Senior Deputy to Los Angeles County Supervisor.
Each panel member evaluated the proposals on the following criteria: completeness of the
proposal; extent of experience on similar projects; quality and experience of the project
management team members; demonstrated understanding of the project scope; and the ability to
meet the required project schedule and deadline.
As part of the selection process, a formal presentation and interview was conducted with each of
the three firms. The presentations/interviews were held on August 30, 2017. Scoring by panel
members included the following categories: organization and overall professionalism of the
presentation; alignment of the presentation with the RFP; displayed understanding of the project;
knowledge and experience with law enforcement facilities; ability to communicate the
philosophy and goals of the consultant team; perceived ability to effectively work with the City
and County project teams; responses from references to predetermined questions regarding
previously completed projects; and the total fee submitted by each architect to provide the
services.
The scoring was based on a total possible score of 100. The final results of the RFP selection
process are as follows:
Rank
Company
Score
Total Fee
1
WLC Architects, Inc.
87.1
$3,149,000
2
HDR Architecture
82.6
$3,569,508
3
Leach Mounce Architects
73.3
$4,156,000
Based on the results of the scoring from the RFP process, staff recommends awarding the
contract to WLC Architects, Inc., for design and related architectural services, as well as
construction administration service during the construction (Phase 3) for the proposed Santa
Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station.
Throughout the RFP process, WLC Architects, Inc., clearly demonstrated an in-depth
understanding of the project scope, as well as the ability to effectively work with the City and
County project teams to meet the required schedule. They have extensive background and
experience in the design of law enforcement facilities and bring a highly qualified team of
individuals to the project.
The MOU between the City and the County stipulates the contract for architectural and
engineering services is subject to approval by the County. The County has been included
throughout the selection process for the architect and supports the selection of WLC Architects,
Inc., to provide architecture and engineering services for the project.
The fee submitted by WLC Architects, Inc., for the scope of work detailed in the RFP is
Page 3
Packet Pg. 23
$3,149,000. The contingency of $310,000 will cover any additional design needs, unforeseen
adjustments to the scope of work or additional design coordination with other public agencies for
permitting purposes that may arise.
California Government Code 4526 prescribes selection of architectural and engineering services
to be based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for the
satisfactory performance of the services required and at a fair and reasonable price. City staff
was able to reach an agreement with WLC Architects, Inc., at a fair and reasonable price for the
services to be provided.
This City Council action will also extend the contract with MNS Engineers, Inc., and includes an
additional $125,000 for project management services through Phase 2 of the project. The City
has been utilizing staff from MNS Engineers, Inc., as part of the project management team for
Phase 1 of the project. Their knowledge and expertise continues to be a valuable asset to the City
and is needed to assist with coordination with other agencies and permitting through Phase 2.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adequate funds are available in Trust Account 102-2010.073 (SCV Sheriffs Station - County
Contribution) to provide for these contracts.

Very truly yours,

Fee Proposal
Your contract with WLC will mark a purposeful investment in your facilities. We are here to make sure that
you considerthat investment to be a good one, with significant returns. WLC is extremely flexible when it
comes to the fee structure that best suits each new commission. We want the City to feel that you are
getting both a quality architectural product and excellent professional services at a fair market price.
The difficulty, of course, is trying to establish a fee with a number of variables and a broad scope of work. In
an effort to better define our fee proposal, we have broken it down into the following components:
A. Basic Architectural Fee
B. Project Specific Fees
C. Total Fee
D. Reimbursables
E. Items Excluded
F. Hourly Rates
A description of each component is as follows:
A. Basic Architectural Fee
Our basic architectural fee is typically a fixed lump sum and includes the following disciplines:
• Civil Engineering
• Architectural Design
• Structural Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Landscape Architecture
The basic fee includes all tasks as outlined in the RFP and as defined in the Work Statement portion of our
proposal. The basic architectural fee will be adjusted to correspond to any increases in project scope. For
the purposes of establishing the basic fee, we have assumed a preliminary construction budget of
$39,600,000.00. The fee has been divided into the five phases typically associated with architectural services
and is broken down as follows:
Schematic Design
$ 263,500.00
Design Development
395,250.00
Construction Documents
1,317,500.00

SUBTOTAL BASIC ARCHITECTURAL FEE

TOTAL BASIC ARCHITECTURAL FEE $ 2,660,000.00
B. Project Specific Fees
The following items are unique to the project requirements and not typically found in the basic
scope of architectural services. Based on our experience and interpretation of the information
provided, we believe the following services will also be required:

Project Specific Fee 489,000.00
TOTAL OPTIONAL FEES $ 3,149,000.00

monthly intervals. Reimbursables generally include the following:
1. Bulk paper copy.
2. Blueprinting/Mylars.
3. Express or overnight mail/courier service.
The City will not incur any cost for travel, travel time, phone calls, faxes, or incidental printing or copying.
