Proposal for Landscape Architectural Services: Foster Park and Tukwila Community Center Park
Master Plans
Dear Kris and Pete:
We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with the Tukwila community and city staff to
prepare a master plan for both Foster Park and the Tukwila Community Center Park. Detailed
herein is our scope of work and fee for the project for your review.
Project Team
R N F: R
erger
To complete the scope of work, we have resource consultants available to help shape the master
plans. Our intent is to utilize these consultants early in the process to identify critical issues that
may impact the future development of each site; however, we do not plan to get into substantive
scope/detail with these consultants as part of the master plan process. Resources include the
following:
• Civil Engineering: KPFF
• Geotechnical Engineering: Shannon & Wilson (S&W)
• Mechanical Engineering for Spray Park: GDM
• Athletic Fields: D.A. Hogan
Project Understanding
This scope of work is for the development of two master plans, Foster Park and Tukwila
Community Center Park, to be completed as one process. It is assumed that development
milestones and deliverables will be shared between the two projects. Anticipated phases of work
are as follows.
Project Administration
Work in this task may include:
• Develop project timeline with all proposed major milestones.
• Kick-off meeting (site walk) with key city staff to initiate project design.
• Prepare monthly progress reports and invoices.
• Manage subconsultants.
• Regular communication with city project manager on progress, problems, and issues.

Site Investigation and Analysis
I(�IflN� NN��t r A RNR
��)))aiimmllfllll(���erger
Work in this task may include:
• Site investigations:
o Review background information, including applicable information provided by city,
including recent planning documents, record design drawings, or previous survey
information for each site.
o Construct base plan from GIS and aerial photography resources of adequate detail to
guide the master plan process. This assumes the city is able to provide the raw data
used in the Tukwila iMap or the design team can gather sufficient data from King
County.
■ Survey work is not anticipated to be part of this scope, nor should this level
of detail be needed. However, as noted above, any previous survey work
made available would be of use to the design team.
o Prepare preliminary reconnaissance memos as required to identify issues impacting
the master plans.
Public Engagement Plan and Implementation
Work in this task may include:
• Prepare Community Involvement Plan:
o Includes stakeholder groups, partners, and census info on neighborhood (with city
support) to understand language needs. Plan will detail approach for project
communications for the duration of the master plan.
• Prepare outreach materials:
o Materials will include narratives, questions, graphics, and character photos to push
out information about the project and to solicit input at key design milestones.
Materials will be designed to source realistic, actionable feedback from the
community and provide clear choices to establish priorities and tradeoffs. Materials
will include image -based selections such as character photos. Material will be used
for the following:
■ Web presence updated with milestone deliverables (assumes city will handle
formatting and hosting web content).
■ Materials for public meetings (hand-outs and boards printed in-house by
Berger).
o For all public meetings Berger Partnership may:
■ Develop an agenda for all meetings. (Verified with city)
■ Prepare messaging for community invitations.

Develop and Present Preliminary Concept Plans
Work in this task may include:

by Berger to convey design intent.

Work in this task may include:
• Prepare draft preferred plan.
• Hone preferred plan.
• Draft master plan report
o Provide supporting narrative for design and process.
• Prepare cost estimate:
o These are high-level master plans, and the cost estimate too will be equally high
level, utilizing allowances to account for many of the not fully designed elements
and providing an allowance that future design development can build toward.
• Finalize master plan report and cost estimate.
Assumptions
• Base plan will be developed from available GIS and aerial photos. No survey is included in
this scope of work.
• Public outreach content (drawings, graphics, and narratives will be provided by the design
team to be posted by the city on the city website).
