BACKGROUND
On October 10, 2023, the City Council approved the acquisition of an approximately 15,000-
square-foot facility located on Citrus Street, as shown on the attached Location Map. The facility
was acquired as a long-term investment for the City of Santa Clarita (City) and for the purpose of
relocating the operations of public television. The facility is currently subdivided into three units,
with two of the units maintaining active 10-year leases. The largest unit, which is approximately
9,500 square feet, was deemed as a suitable site for a new, modern studio that would help meet
the current and future demands of public television.

On December 29, 2023, the grant deed transferring ownership of the facility to the City was
recorded with Los Angeles County. However, as part of the purchase agreement, the previous
owner, Lundgren Management (Lundgren), was authorized to lease back the property in order to
cease its operations permanently. Lundgren continued to maintain use of the facility through
February 2024. The following is a brief chronology of City staff s efforts to move forward with
the needed tenant improvements for the relocation of public television. Additional details are
provided further in the agenda.
• March - June: Conceptual plans developed in collaboration with SCVTV
• May - June: Development of a Request for Proposal (RFP)
• June - July: RFP was available for submissions
• August: Interviews, discussions, and negotiations with proposers
• September - October: Conceptual plans modified to reduce scope of work
City staff worked collaboratively with SCVTV on conceptual plans that would maximize the
usability of the unit, while minimizing the potential costs of the tenant improvements. Several
design concepts were developed and each would provide public television with an approximately
1,920-square-foot stage, which is substantially larger than the existing 670-square-foot stage at
the current site in Newhall. This project supports the Sustaining Public Infrastructure theme of
the City's five-year strategic plan, Santa Clarita 2025.
The scope of work for this design contract includes architectural, structural, mechanical,
electrical, and plumbing design services required to prepare construction documents. These
documents will consist of complete plans, specifications, and engineer's estimates for
construction. Bid assistance will also be provided to support the solicitation for a construction
contract.
The City conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from qualified consulting
firms to provide design services for the Citrus Building Tenant Improvements project. The RFP
was published and circulated via the City's e-procurement system, BidNet, on June 11. The City
transmitted the solicitation to 1,451 vendors on BidNet, of which 51 vendors downloaded the
RFP. A total of two companies provided proposals for consideration.
These proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on each company's ability to meet the
specific needs of the City. An evaluation panel, comprised of staff from the Public Works
department and City Manager's Office, scored the responses using the following categories of
weighted criteria:
• Consultant's qualifications and overall project team experience (30 points)
• Proposed methodology and ability to meet the scope of work (30 points)
• Proposer's understanding of the project (20 points)
• References (20 points)

After the initial review, both firms were interviewed. Based on the evaluation and interviews, the
evaluation panel scored the responses based on a 100-point scale, with the results outlined
below:
Rank Company
1 Gensler
2 Wolcott Architecture
Location Score
Los Angeles, CA 80
Los Angeles, CA 78
During the proposal review process, both submissions were found to be suitable, with Gensler
receiving a slightly higher score. However, after reviewing Gensler's fee proposal, staff observed
that it was substantially higher than the "Estimated Contract Value" noted in the RFP. After
further discussions with Gensler, City staff concluded that we could not find a mutually
agreeable fair and reasonable price.
Following procedures outlined in the City's Purchasing Policy, staff then engaged the next
highest -ranked firm, Wolcott Architecture (Wolcott). After careful evaluation, Wolcott's
proposal was found to provide good value and to meet the City's design requirements, resulting
in a successful agreement at a fair and reasonable price.
Wolcott demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the project needs and provided a detailed
scope of work and approach to the project. They analyzed the project location and identified key
design factors that will need to be addressed in the design. Based on their design and technical
experience with similar projects, and the completeness of their proposal for this project, staff
recommends awarding the design contract to Wolcott. The proposal is available in the City
Clerk's Reading File.
Design work is expected to begin in January 2025 and a complete set of construction documents
ready for bidding is expected to be available by September 2025. The station is anticipated to be
ready for occupancy by June 2026.
The requested budget appropriation will provide for a building assessment, utility fees, and staff
time.
California Government Code 4526 prescribes the 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 does not authorize the selection of
professional architect and engineering services based on cost. City staff was able to reach an
agreement with Wolcott at a fair and reasonable price.
The requested contingency will cover the cost of design constraints and account for potential
design modifications requested by the City and other permitting agencies during the design of the
project. This includes power and air conditioning improvements to the existing building
infrastructure to accommodate the extra lighting and equipment required for broadcast studios.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

PROJECT
APPROACH
IMMEDIATELY UPON AWARD OF THE PROJECT, WA WILL:
1. Visit the current facilities and review the SCVTV standards needed and the program better to understand the
various needs and economy of space. This will ensure that multiple uses can be accommodated and that the
spaces comply with the SCVTV workplace and television studio requirements.
2. Set up a kickoff meeting with SCVTV 's key stakeholders and decision -makers to garner any additional
program, aesthetic insights, and project goals. We will also establish the communication protocols and point
of contact for each entity involved.
3. Design Deliverable Schedule. We will review the overall project schedule and establish a clear schedule for
deliverables and project meetings and provide this schedule to the necessary consultants. This schedule will
include SCVTV review and decision time - which will be discussed at the kickoff meeting.
4. Onboarding the Consultants. We will review the scope and existing conditions with the consultants.
Consultants will conduct a site walk with us if the conditions or scope warrant this review. We will also
provide SCVTV 's design requirements so consultants understand all aspects of the scope required to
execute the project. We will review consultant proposals and advise SCVTV on the scope of work and fees
to ensure they align with the existing conditions and proposed program. Please note this typically happens
at the Design Development phase but could happen earlier If the existing conditions warrant engineering
upgrades or changes.
PROGRAMMING AND TEST FIT PHASE, WA WILL:
1. Use the information provided by SCVTV and the kickoff meeting to produce a program document to identify
and validate both current requirements and future growth.
This document shall define the special programs and spatial musts and the requirements for unique
architecture and interior features.
2. Review the provided test fit and provide modifications as required to map out how the proposed space could
be used based on the program to ensure the program and scope are accounted for. WA will also identify
deficiencies to the program based on the building conditions if necessary.
PRELIMINARY SPACE PLANS
1. WA shall update the test fits with furniture and architectural features for additional review.
2. Two (2) preliminary Space Plans are included deficiencies to the program based on the building conditions if

the ADA Path of Travel needed for submission to the building department.
b. Once the Test Fit Plan is approved, we provide a preliminary Pricing Plan for Contractor and/or Cost
Estimator use. Because we are combining the Schematic and Design Documentation phases, we advise that
we be provided a Pricing Plan Package, which includes a Demolition Plan, Floor Plan, Reflected Ceiling Plan,
Finish Plan, and associated pricing notes to help define the construction budget.
SCHEMATIC DESIGN:
The Schematic Design Phase uses the approved budget to develop the Schematic Design Drawings. This shall.

CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
Wolcott Architecture (WA) understands the importance of consistency throughout a project. The team assigned to
your project stays with it from start to finish. This approach ensures consistency and strong client communications
throughout the project lifecycle. We believe this increases the quality of each project because the team is invested
in SCVTV 's objectives and can adapt to nuances that occur throughout the delivery phases. The firm structure
is comprised of 5 teams led by a Project Manager and ranges from 4-8 people per team. Our team consists
of Architects, Interior Designers, and Job Captains involved in the project from pre -design (i.e. site surveys,
programming, and due diligence) through construction administration and project closeout. Our team also
coordinates with the various design consultants needed to complete the project. Our teams are supported by several
in-house experts, such as senior technical architectural design leads. We have included resumes of our Management
and Studio Leadership team that highlight their expertise.
QUALITY CONTROL
Wolcott has in-house technical leads with extensive experience with quality control and constructability reviews. Our
leads are brought in to help review scope, advise on approach, and provide information and feedback to ensure the
project meets design criteria. Additionally, they help design technical details or provide specifications to meet the
project's needs.
Wolcott is fully proficient in both Revit and AutoCAD. Utilization of BIM technology is essential to interacting with
the entire design team, owners and PM's for efficiency and best practices. WA also uses Construction Management
applications, such as Procore, for tracking and managing the construction process.
From the technical side, the in-house technical leads are used in various ways. from developing the details or
specifications on their own to providing heavy oversight to others on the team as required. The technical leads
have over 25 years of experience and ensure we are approaching constructability in the most efficient way without
compromising the project's design intent. Our design leads will accompany project designers and job captains in the
field to review and advise on the approach and will provide hands-on assistance as required. This approach allows
us to be nimble with their expertise, utilizing their expertise across all teams as needed.
We will also confer with Design Consultants, and the Contractor to determine the best approach to achieve the
conceptual design. For example, if a solution proposed by a Vendor is cost-effective and can minimize construction
time, we will review this information and provide a report to the Client and the Contractor as an alternative to
traditional building construction.
Wolcott has a four -tiered process to ensure that our projects meet quality assurance goals. Those steps include
1. Project Lead and Senior Architect (Technical Lead) review at set benchmarks during the Construction
Documents phase.
2. Team/Studio QAQC Review. When the project is ready to be issued for Building Plan Check, the team
conducts an internal QAQC with a ib-page checklist that ensures the set is coordinated and has the relevant
information required to build the project. The Job Captain picks up these redlines and asks any questions if
needed.
3. Firm QAQC Review. After the Team/Studio review and redlines are complete, the drawings set goes to a
different team for a peer review. They use the same checklist and review the prior redlines to make sure they
were picked up, as well as double-checked.
4. Final Review. Goes to a Wolcott Principal, who stamps the drawings, and reviews again for relevant project
coordination and code issues.
COST CONTROLS
Wolcott Architecture has several methods and stages to provide upfront and transparent communication with the
Client to ensure the design remains on budget.
Pre -Design Phase
1. We conduct a meeting with the Client key stakeholders before any work has begun to review budget and
scope to ensure the two align. The goal is to clearly communicate project goals and budgetary requirements.
2. We discuss if a contingency should be established within the budget to account for unforeseen conditions in
the field. To be clear, not all projects warrant a contingency, and the contingency will be included within the
overall budget number.
3. We establish who will be providing pricing reviews and verify their schedule complies with the Schedule
provided in the REP. We will expand on the project schedule to further develop a deliverable & review
schedule with these pricing reviews.
4. We walk the site to identify any areas that could cause budgetary issues and provide a report on these areas
that might affect the scope or budget.
5. We re -review the budget with the Client to ensure it aligns with field conditions.
b. We advise the Client on scope changes to ensure that the budget stays on track while maintaining their
overall goals for the project.
Design Field Verification.
1. We prepare plans based on programming requirements and Base Building Drawings.
2. We develop drawings, sketches, design criteria for selected projects, etc., as required, to convey the
Schematic design intent to the Client.
3. We present documents for approval to proceed to Design Development.

Design Documentation and Construction Documentation Phases
1. We provide plans for budgetary reviews by the Contractor (as a pre -construction service) and/or Cost
Estimator. These benchmark deliverables are established at the Pre -design Phase.
2. We review the Cost Estimates and advise the Client and Project Manager on any issues.
3. We include a specific amount of time in our Base Services to commit to Value Engineering in the Design
Development Stage to capture changes to the scope if required. We will develop the Construction Documents
based on approved Design Development drawings and budget.
4. We actively engage with the Client, Project Manager and Contractor to review contingency amounts
throughout all these phases. If the project has an extensive demolition scope, we advise that the contingency
be kept at the full amount until demolition is completed to capture any unforeseen areas that could affect the
general scope and/or project goals.
Bidding Phase
1. If a Contractor is not on board, we assist the ownership in selecting a contractor by providing bid documents,
reviewing bid documents and advising on areas that do not align with Cost Estimator / General Contractor
budget line items.
2. We will attend two (2) bidding meetings to verify the scope of work and make recommendations and provide
one (1) comprehensive bid RFI response in the base fees.
3. If a Contractor was already on board prior to this phase, we ask them to conduct bids on Sub Consultants
and provide both us and Client on the bidding status and the award of the work.
4. We will update the drawings if needed and issue an Issue for Construction Set with the updated information.
Construction Phase
1. We conduct a construction kickoff meeting with Contractors and walk the site to review areas of the project.
If there are demo areas, we revisit the site after the demo to verify any existing conditions that could not be
reviewed prior to the demo.
2. We review the Contractor project's budget, schedule, and work complete. As the Architect of Record, we
would sign off on the Certificate of Completion as required.
