AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute Professional Services
Agreement with ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc., of Sacramento, for Lodi Lake Park Grant
Applications ($73,891) and Appropriating Funds
MEETING DATE: August 5, 2015
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manage to execute a
Professional Services Agreement with ICF Jones and Stokes, Inc.,
of Sacramento, for Lodi Lake Park grant applications in a not -to -
exceed amount of $73,891 and appropriating funds.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Lodi Lake Park is the jewel of the City's park system and heavily
used by the public. In a scientific community survey conducted for
Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services this year, 87 percent of
respondents indicated they had visited Lodi Lake in the previous 12
months, and 83 percent indicated it is important for the City to "upgrade Lodi Lake facilities and
amenities." The park has become more of a regional draw with the success of the boat house
concessionaire.
In the past six years, the City has applied for three grants to improve the park, but none of the attempts
succeeded. Two were aimed at mitigating erosion along the riverbank adjacent to Pigs Lake, and another
to upgrade the parking facilities at the south end of the park. While erosion at Pigs Lake remains a
concern, parkland is receding along the shoreline at the Rotary Area and Youth Area, including collapse
of an amphitheater wall. Those are reaching critical stages and a solution is needed to either halt the
erosion or reclaim some of the lost property. PRCS does not have the capacity in-house to develop
potential projects with the short turnaround required by upcoming grant deadlines.
The Natural Resources Agency, which administers the River Parkways grant program, indicated it is
generally supportive of the City's efforts to obtain grant funding, but suggested we seek outside technical
assistance with the grants. PRCS seeks to use the services of ICF Jones & Stokes a multidisciplinary
consulting firm that specializes in water and natural resource management. One of the sub consultants
retained by ICF Jones & Stokes is John Brodie, former Director of the San Joaquin Resource
Conservation District, who secured nearly $11 million in grant funding in support of District priorities and
operations. Staff has previously worked with Mr. Brodie and is pleased he would be working on this
project. Other professionals involved in proposed projects include an engineer, a fish biologist, landscape
architects, a geomorphologist and restoration specialist, and other project advisors with experience in
soliciting and managing grants for various nonprofits and other environmental work.
The proposed Professional Services Agreement calls for ICF Jones & Stokes to prepare up to three grant
applications. The first, the River Parkways program, is due September 1, 2015. The application would be

for the Lodi Lake Park North Side Restoration and Bank Stabilization Project, focused on the Youth and
Rotary areas, and perhaps a portion of the kayak entry point at Hughes Beach. ICF Jones & Stokes has
identified four other potential grant programs and possible partners, listed in the attached proposed
scope of work. PRCS staff will meet with the consultants to determine which other programs should be
pursued and what elements the proposed projects should incorporate. Staff is hopeful these decisions
would be accomplished with assistance of the public forum afforded by the Recreation Commission.
FISCAL IMPACT: PRCS considers this expenditure an investment into the future of
preserving Lodi Lake Park. If successful, this expenditure will be leveraged
with grant funds. If not successful, PRCS will have defined and planned
several projects that could be built upon for future applications.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Parks Capital (432), although PRCS anticipates replenishing this fund with
available fund balance dollars upon close of FY 2014/15 financials.

EXHIBIT A
July 22, 2015
Mr. Jeff Hood
Director
City of Lodi Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department
125 North Stockton Street
Lodi, CA 95240
Subject: Scope of Work for Assistance with Lodi Lake Park Grant Applications
(Contract #2)
Dear Mr. Hood:
ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc. (an ICF International company hereafter referred to as ICF) is pleased to
present this scope of work and cost estimate to the City of Lodi Parks, Recreation and Cultural
Services Department (City) for professional services to prepare up to three grant applications for
potential actions at Lodi Lake Park.
The City and local stakeholders have been working for years to increase and expand opportunities
for recreation and to balance objectives of bank protection, habitat enhancement, restoration, and
environmental education at the 114 -acre park. However, the City still has a long list of
improvements that could be made to improve conditions, and wishes to pursue grant opportunities
to fund some of these improvements.
Utilizing the Opportunities and Constraints Report developed under Contract #1 as a basis, ICF will
develop up to three grant applications for projects at Lodi Lake Park on behalf of the City. The first
grant application will be for the River Parkways Grant Program administered by the California
Natural Resources Agency, and will utilize the draft conceptual project description for the Lodi Lake
Park North Side Restoration and Bank Stabilization Project developed under Contract #1.
The grant programs for which the second and third applications will be prepared have not been
formally chosen at this time; however, this scope lays out the work necessary to prepare three full
grant applications, regardless of the target programs.
Task 1. Grant Application #1 (California River Parkways Grant Program)
Objectives
ICF will prepare, on behalf of the City, a grant application for the Lodi Lake Park North Side
Restoration and Bank Stabilization Project, to be considered for funding by the California Natural
Resources Agency's River Parkways Grant Program (due date September 1, 2015). The application
will clearly and persuasively describe the elements of the project that would make it an attractive

funding opportunity for the California Natural Resources Agency, and how the project fulfills the
technical criteria of the funding program.
Assumptions
A draft conceptual project description for the Lodi Lake Park North Side Restoration and Bank
Stabilization Project will be prepared under Contract #1. If a cost -share element is proposed in the
application, the City will negotiate terms with any identified local agency/group. The City will
provide any maps and deeds necessary to support the proposal.
Methods
Task 1A: Project Description. ICF will respond to the City's comments on the draft conceptual project
description for the Lodi Lake Park North Side Restoration and Bank Stabilization Project (prepared
under Contract #1) and finalize the project description. This may include additional figures and/or
detail.
Task 113: Grant Application. ICF will analyze Request for Proposal (RFP) requirements for eligibility
and scope of project or project components including funding limits, cost share requirements, and
submission requirements and format, and will open communications with granting agency contacts
to discuss project overview and objectives for appropriateness and to ask clarifying questions about
RFP specifics. The grant application will be carefully crafted in order to ensure strict compliance
with RFP instructions and to highlight the most relevant aspects of the project, and ICF will work
closely with the City to develop cost -share ideas (both in-kind and volunteer support), and identify
potential partners and their roles. A draft of the grant application will be submitted to the City for
review and comment to ensure it meets the City's expectations. The application will be finalized and
submitted prior to or on the due date (September 1, 2015).
Deliverables
• Final conceptual project description for the Lodi Lake Park North Side Restoration and Bank
Stabilization Project in PDF format.
s Draft California River Parkways grant application in digital format.
• Final California River Parkways grant application in digital format with two (2) hard copies (one
for submission to California Natural Resources Agency and one for the City's files).
Task 2. Grant Application #2
Objectives
ICF will prepare, on behalf of the City, a grant application for a project at Lodi Lake Park that
combines one or more of the City's priorities as described in the Opportunities and Constraints
Report (to be prepared under Contract #1) with the goals and criteria of an upcoming grant
program (to be selected at a later date) to create an attractive funding opportunity for the granting
agency. Potential grant possibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:
Mr. Jeff Hood

Habitat Conservation Fund Grant Program—California Department of Parks and Recreation
Maximum Grant Amount: No minimum or maximum
Funding Match Requirement 1:1 match (non -state funds)
Total Funding Available: $2 Million
Application Deadline: October 1, 2015
Grant Program Goals/Priorities: Provides funds to local entities to protect threatened
species, to address wildlife corridors, to create trails, and to
provide for nature interpretation programs which bring
urban residents into park and wildlife areas.
Watershed Restoration Grant Program—California Department of Fish and Wildlife
Maximum Grant Amount: No minimum or maximum identified at this time
Funding Match Requirement None required, but proposed projects that leverage other cost
share funds, either state or non -state, will receive additional points
during technical review.
Total Funding Available: $24 Million
Application Deadline: Not specified at this time
Grant Program Goals/Priorities: Provides funds for water quality, river, and watershed protection
and restoration projects of statewide importance outside of the
Delta. Target projects will provide fisheries or ecosystem benefits
or improvements that are greater than required applicable
environmental mitigation measures or compliance obligations.
Ecosystem Restoration and Water Quality Grant Program—The Delta Conservancy
Maximum Grant Amount: $2 Million
Funding Match Requirement 25-50% cost share requirement, and a cost share over 50% will
rank the project higher during evaluation.
Total Funding Available: Not known at this time.
Application Deadline: Concept proposals due September 15, 2015; full proposals due
January 30, 2016.
Grant Program Goals/Priorities: Restoration of aquatic, wetland, and migratory bird habitat and fish
and wildlife corridors. Recovery of anadromous fish populations
and their habitat. Adaptation to reduce impacts of climate change.
Another potential grant program is the National Park Service's Land and Water Conservation Fund,
and potential sources for smaller amounts of matching funds include the Lower Mokelumne River
Partnership, which often has interest in funding planting activities, USFWS, and NOAA Fisheries.
There may be other opportunities not listed here that the City may wish to pursue.
Assumptions
ICF assumes up to two meetings with City staff will be necessary to determine which grant program
should be pursued and what elements the proposed project should incorporate. These meetings will
occur in the Sacramento ICF office. A site visit may be necessary to inform development of the
project description. If a cost -share element is proposed in the application, the City will negotiate
terms with any identified local agency/group. The City will provide any maps and deeds necessary
to support the proposal.
Mr. Jeff Hood
July 22, 2015

Methods
Task 1A: Project Description. ICF will prepare a conceptual -level project description for a project that
combines one or more of the City's priorities for Lodi Lake Park (as described in the Opportunities
and Constraints Report) with the goals and criteria of the selected grant funding program. ICF will
coordinate closely with the City to decide on the goals and fundamental elements of the project. This
project description will discuss the purpose and need of the project and will include a narrative
description of the project itself, plan view drawings that illustrate proposed project features, a list of
project permitting requirements, and a project cost estimate.
Task 113: Grant Application. ICF will analyze the RFP requirements of the selected grant program for
eligibility and scope of project or project components including funding limits, cost share
requirements, and submission requirements and format. ICF will open communications with
granting agency contacts to discuss project overview and objectives for appropriateness and to ask
clarifying questions about RFP specifics. The grant application will be carefully crafted in order to
ensure strict compliance with RFP instructions and to highlight the most relevant aspects of the
project, and ICF will work closely with the City to develop cost -share ideas (both in-kind and
volunteer support), and identify potential partners and their roles. A draft of the grant application
will be submitted to the City for review and comment to ensure it meets the City's expectations. The
application will be finalized and submitted prior to or on the due date.
Deliverables
• Draft conceptual project description PDF format.
• Final conceptual project description in PDF format.
• Draft grant application in digital format.
■ Final grant application in digital format with up to four (4) hard copies.
Task 3. Grant Application #3
The description of Task 3 is the same as for Task 2, above.
ICF proposes to invoice costs monthly, with a not -to -exceed amount of $73,891, on a time and
materials basis.
If selected, ICF looks forward to negotiating mutually acceptable terms. Thank you for giving ICF the
opportunity to assist the City with these exciting opportunities. We look forward to working with
you.

AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute Professional Services
Agreement with ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc., of Sacramento, for Lodi Lake Park Grant
Applications ($73,891) and Appropriating Funds
MEETING DATE: August 5, 2015
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manage to execute a
Professional Services Agreement with ICF Jones and Stokes, Inc.,
of Sacramento, for Lodi Lake Park grant applications in a not -to -
exceed amount of $73,891 and appropriating funds.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Lodi Lake Park is the jewel of the City's park system and heavily
used by the public. In a scientific community survey conducted for
Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services this year, 87 percent of
respondents indicated they had visited Lodi Lake in the previous 12
months, and 83 percent indicated it is important for the City to "upgrade Lodi Lake facilities and
amenities." The park has become more of a regional draw with the success of the boat house
concessionaire.
In the past six years, the City has applied for three grants to improve the park, but none of the attempts
succeeded. Two were aimed at mitigating erosion along the riverbank adjacent to Pigs Lake, and another
to upgrade the parking facilities at the south end of the park. While erosion at Pigs Lake remains a
concern, parkland is receding along the shoreline at the Rotary Area and Youth Area, including collapse
of an amphitheater wall. Those are reaching critical stages and a solution is needed to either halt the
erosion or reclaim some of the lost property. PRCS does not have the capacity in-house to develop
potential projects with the short turnaround required by upcoming grant deadlines.
The Natural Resources Agency, which administers the River Parkways grant program, indicated it is
generally supportive of the City's efforts to obtain grant funding, but suggested we seek outside technical
assistance with the grants. PRCS seeks to use the services of ICF Jones & Stokes a multidisciplinary
consulting firm that specializes in water and natural resource management. One of the sub consultants
retained by ICF Jones & Stokes is John Brodie, former Director of the San Joaquin Resource
Conservation District, who secured nearly $11 million in grant funding in support of District priorities and
operations. Staff has previously worked with Mr. Brodie and is pleased he would be working on this
project. Other professionals involved in proposed projects include an engineer, a fish biologist, landscape
architects, a geomorphologist and restoration specialist, and other project advisors with experience in
soliciting and managing grants for various nonprofits and other environmental work.
The proposed Professional Services Agreement calls for ICF Jones & Stokes to prepare up to three grant
applications. The first, the River Parkways program, is due September 1, 2015. The application would be

for the Lodi Lake Park North Side Restoration and Bank Stabilization Project, focused on the Youth and
Rotary areas, and perhaps a portion of the kayak entry point at Hughes Beach. ICF Jones & Stokes has
identified four other potential grant programs and possible partners, listed in the attached proposed
scope of work. PRCS staff will meet with the consultants to determine which other programs should be
pursued and what elements the proposed projects should incorporate. Staff is hopeful these decisions
would be accomplished with assistance of the public forum afforded by the Recreation Commission.
On August 4, 2015, the Recreation Commission voted 4-0 to recommend the City Council approve
the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT: PRCS considers this expenditure an investment into the future of
preserving Lodi Lake Park. If successful, this expenditure will be leveraged
with grant funds. If not successful, PRCS will have defined and planned
several projects that could be built upon for future applications.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Parks Capital (432), although PRCS anticipates replenishing this fund with
available fyod balance dollars upon close of FY 2014/15 financials.
