SELECTION 9 — UNDERWOOD PARK MASTER PLAN
1. Scope of Services for Preparing a Master Plan for Underwood Community Park
a. This scope of services outlines works to be done by EDG in assisting the City of Fayetteville in development
of a Master Plan for Underwood Community Park (UCP). UCP is a recently acquired park in the north -north
west area of Fayetteville, Arkansas. The site, located on property that previously served as an 18-hole golf
course, is in a rapidly growing area of the city that lacks a Community Park.
b. Portions of this park were dedicated to the city through our Park Land Dedication ordinance. Other portions
were donated by the Underwood Family, and some of the property will be deeded to the city in the future
after development. The Master Plan includes the future portions of land for the park (65.5ac).
c. UCP fills a gap in existing park service areas and will be Fayetteville's fifth community park. Each community
park is designed to be unique, offering a variety of recreational, social, and cultural opportunities.
Community Parks differ from Neighborhood Parks in several ways. Community Parks are generally much
larger, developed in a way that they can keep an entire family, or a wider range of people entertained for
many hours, developed with their own unique theme and strategically located to maximize equity and
accessibility to this important park type. Community Parks having their own unique theme strengthens the
recreational value of the park system, giving residents reasons to travel to each of the unique community
parks for a wider range of recreational experiences.
d. In previous public park planning the people of Fayetteville have placed a high priority on equity in the park
system. While each community park is different the level of effort in development and quality should be
consistent. The people of Fayetteville have expressed a desire to slightly increase quality from existing
facilities. This will require a thoughtful master plan able to lead development of the park with generally
frugal budgets. Design ideas requiring large budgets are not realistic in this park. As with the other parks in
Fayetteville, this park will be developed over a long-time horizon with many phases.
e. To better understand how UCP fits in with the other Community Parks, some understanding of those parks
is necessary. The other Community Parks are:
i. Bryce Davis — This relatively small community park is closest to UCP and contains the City's only
developed dog park, half basketball court, playground and restroom. Bryce Davis currently has no
clearly defined theme.
ii. Gulley Park — emphasizes fields, prairie, and stream from its agrarian past, integrated into a
performance venue and playground activity hub. It is home to the annual Gulley Park Concert Series
and is connected to the city's trail system.
iii. Walker Park — Fayetteville's largest community parks serves South Fayetteville Walker park
celebrates its prominent location on the Razorback Greenway with an existing activity hub and
what is expected to be a second activity hub featured around sports and yard games. Additionally,
Walker Park serves Seniors to a larger extent than other parks hosting the Senior Citizen Center. A
large wooded area hosts a popular disc golf course.

Page 1 of 4 — Last Revised: 07.13.22
iv. Wilson Park — Home of the "Castle," Wilson Park features gardens and art as its predominate
theme. Wilson also contains a community pool, basketball court, sand volleyball court, tennis
courts, playground, picnic and open space, and a walking loop.
2. Description of Work: This Scope of Services is not inclusive of all work and items EDG will need to complete for the
Park Master Plan. Often master planning processes need to be adjusted during the process as information is
uncovered and EDG and Parks Staff will adapt the process as needed. The master planning process will generally
include:
a. Phase 1. Proiect Initiation / Inventory and Analvsis
i. Ph 1 Fees and Expenses: $7,000
ii. Typical and basic inventory and analysis of site, demographic, cultural, historical, and other
elements and plans necessary to understand the context of the site and its surroundings. Graphics
detailing this information will be included in the planning process and final master plan documents.
This site ties into the Wilson Springs Preserve to the East and West and the Clabber Creek
Greenway to the West. Connections to these areas are important as well as an understanding of
aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems present on site. Connections to surrounding land uses,
particularly housing and trail systems is important. Pedestrian and bike connectivity to the park
and in the park and to the park are critical. Review of other city plans for relevant information is
necessary to properly plan.
iii. Expected Time Frame: July -August
1. Phase 1 Major Steps:
a. Kick Off Meeting and Site Visit with Parks Department
b. Site Investigation + Inventory
c. Base Map Generation from GIS + Survey Data (provided by Parks Department)
d. Analysis of Previous Planning Efforts and Relevant City Plans/Studies (provided by
Parks Department)
e. Review of Site Historical, Demographic, and Cultural Data
f. Ecological Site Inventory + Analysis of Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecosystems
g. Site Connectivity + Programmatic Analysis
h. Hydrologic Analysis
i. Presentation of Phase 1 Deliverables: Graphic Representation of all Inventory +
Analysis
iv. Deliverables: A short written synopsis of this work and information gathered including, Inventory
and Analysis maps, are deliverables. This information will be incorporated into the final master plan
document.
b. Phase 2. Public Planning and Schematic Plans—
i. Ph 2 Fees and Expenses $20,000
ii. The master planning process will include a robust public planning component led by the consultant.
This will include but is not limited to online and in person meetings, online comments/surveys.
Note the park is near existing and possible future schools and a focus group meeting with schools
is needed to assess possibilities for integration into the plan. Two meetings are expected. The first
meeting will feature three schematic master plans with different directions to use to help generate
public comments. A preliminary meeting on site is possible if desired to help gather initial data for
the three plans. These plans will be based on public feedback gathered to date and possible flash
surveys to gather additional preliminary information. A list of the three programs that will guide
the three schematic designs will be developed and approved by parks before development of the
RFQ 22-01, Engineering & Architectural Services — Selection 9, Underwood Park Master Plan
APPENDIXA — SCOPE OF WORK AND FEES
Page 2 of 4 — Last Revised: 07.13.22
schematic plans. These schematic plans, in simple graphic styles, are to illustrate three different
approaches, with three different programs, not just one program with the same elements moved
around. Feedback generated from the three schematic plans will be used to produce one draft
plan. The public planning should be done in a manner that allows and demonstrates the public's
desire and priorities for individual program elements and development directions the park could
take.
iii. Additionally, focus groups, administrative staff, and other individual meetings are to be expected.
Note the city will use its website for online feedback and city staff to populate the planning website
so the consultant will need to provide materials/content but not web support.
iv. The public meetings and staff feedback will be used to refine the program that will guide the draft
Master Plan.
v. Expected Timeframe: August — September
1. Phase 2 Major Steps:
a. Determine Key Programmatic Components Required Based on Review of Public
Feedback Previously Gathered
b. Public Input Pop-up to Gather Additional Input to further refine direction for the
Park's Future based on the Public's Desire and Priorities for Individual Program
Elements
c. Development of Three Distinct Programmatic Conceptual Guiding Frameworks to
be presented to Parks for Approval Prior to Design of the Schematic Plans

Schematic Master Plans with Distinct Directions to help Generate Public
Comments
f. Online Public Comments/Survey Reviewing Three Schematic Master Plans with
Distinct Directions to help Generate Public Comments (web support provided by
Parks Department/City)
g. Focus Group Meeting with Adjacent Schools to assess Integration into the Master
Plan
h. Presentation of Phase 2 Deliverables: Three Schematic Plans and written Synopsis
of Public Feedback
vi. Deliverables: Three schematic plans, program information, and synopsis of public feedback are
deliverables.
c. Draft and Final Master Plan —
i. Fees and Expenses
1. 3A. $20,000
2. 3B $18,000
ii. PHASE 3-A: Draft Master Plan —
1. Expected Timeframe October -November
2. Developed with park staff input and information gained in 1 and 2 above, EDG will prepare
a draft Master Plan. This plan will feature stronger and higher quality graphics then the
Schematic Plans. A draft Master Plan and other relevant information will be presented at
the second public meeting and online for comments. EDG will utilize methods to capture
comments received in the planning efforts. The public comments and staff feedback
gathered in this phase will be used to develop a final Master Plan. The programs and
RFQ 22-01, Engineering & Architectural Services — Selection 9, Underwood Park Master Plan
APPENDIX A — SCOPE OF WORK AND FEES
Page 3 of 4 — Last Revised: 07.13.22
schematic plans, draft Master Plan and final Master Plan will be approved by the Parks
Department before presentations.
3. Phase 3A Draft Master Plan Maior Steps:
a. Synthesis of Public Feedback from the Three Schematic Plans into One Graphic
Draft Master Plan for Underwood Community Park to be Represented with High
Quality Graphics and Related Documents Necessary to Convey Planning and
Design Ideas

FIRM PROFILE
Ecological Design Group, Inc. is a small business by choice, with offices in 3 of the 6 distinct regions of Arkansas: Ozarks, Delta, and River Valley. The
firm was founded by Martin L. Smith and Tanner Weeks in 2008 and is comprised of landscape architects, designers, and civil engineers, recognizing
their passion and commitment to the re -connectivity of our community to the landscape. Over the past century our natural ecological systems have
been fragmented due to development and the introduction of industrial agriculture. The seamless connectivity from one system to another no longer
exists and has been replaced by sterile environments requiring an abundance of energy and natural resources to maintain. Our goal is to create
innovative outdoor spaces which re -connect the environment with the social, cultural and political aspects of our society. Our designs utilize one of
our greatest natural resources "water" as a common thread for existence regarding all life. With the incorporation of storm water driving site design
along with the principles of ecology, our outdoor spaces are responsible environments with a safe, functional and appealing public aesthetic. Our
projects foster healthy, balanced relationships between people and their environment while adapting to change over time and requiring only minimal
and economical maintenance.
Ecological Design Group's approach to civil engineering design is progressive, innovative, and environmentally focused. EDG collaborates with other
disciplines to generate design solutions that integrate the site with the architecture. EDG studies each site and its ecology, and produces designs
that improve the built environment and function responsibly; reflective of the natural environment. These designs are achieved through the use
of low impact development and sustainable design techniques that are ecologically based and sensitive to local conditions. EDG is dedicated to
developing environmentally responsible infrastructure that has multiple functions, is sustainable, and minimizes impact to the natural hydrology and
aesthetic of the site. This collaboration of landscape architecture and civil engineering allows for seamless coordination providing cost effective and
low maintenance designs that are not only environmentally sustainable, but are financially responsible for the owner and end user.
OUR MISSION
Pioneering Resilient Design
OUR VISION
Equitable Environments. Connected Cultures. Impactful Experiences.

FIRM HISTORY
Ecological Design Group, Inc. (EDG) was founded by Martin L. Smith, and Tanner A. Weeks both registered Landscape Architects, in 2008. The firm was
created from a spinoff of Martin's previous firm Larson Burns and Smith, Inc., which he was principal of for 8 years with offices in Austin, Texas and
Little Rock, Arkansas. Mr. Smith's projects have been widely recognized and awarded for their environmental design excellence with over 20 years of
consulting experience. Martin offices out of his home town of Wynne, Arkansas and resides in the small Arkansas Delta community of Birdeye. Tanner
A. Weeks joined Martin in 2006 and resides as the managing principal of the Little Rock office. A native of North Little Rock, Mr. Weeks has 20 years of
experience working in the public and private sector, including experience with urban design and park master planning. He provides a detail -oriented
focus combined with extensive construction experience allowing him to understand the importance of quality control and constructability in a project.
In 2012, civil engineering was added as a service provided by EDG to support our award -winning projects. Brahm Driver, P.E. a graduate of the
University of Arkansas (2006) joined the firm in 2012 and was joined in 2013 by Robert Helvey, RE, another graduate of University of Arkansas. In
2013, EDG established its presence in Northwest Arkansas with an office in Fayetteville Arkansas, which has since relocated to Rogers, Arkansas.
In 2017, EDG purchased the historic Carnation Milk Plant in Rogers, Arkansas to restore and use as a studio space. The Northwest Arkansas office
now resides in this facility in and sees the redevelopment of the building and restoration of its architectural vibrancy as a tool for providing a strong
connectivity to the region.
FIRM EXPERIENCE
In 2009, EDG led the design and construction oversight of the Arkansas Veterans Cemetery in Birdeye, Arkansas. EDG built a team of architects,
engineers, and biologist to navigate the requirements for this $7.6 million federally funded project. Construction was completed in 2012 within
budget and received an Honor Award for Design Excellence. In 2011, EDG led the design and construction management of the Preserve at the
Village of Hendrix. This 13-acre conservation easement included stream and wetland restoration while becoming an urban example for watershed
management. The project received an Award of Merit. In 2013, EDG led the design and construction oversight of a $5 million phase 2 expansion of the
North Little Rock Veterans Cemetery. EDG is currently under contract to continue all design for Arkansas Department of Veterans Affairs through 2024.
In 2015, EDG led the master planning for a vision of revitalization of the Arkansas Delta, "The Big Woods". This visionary plan was recognized with an
Award of Excellence by the American Society of Landscape Architects, Central States Region. In 2015, the City of Rogers hired EDG to lead the design
of Lake Atalanta. This $10 million project has become a favorite public amenity for Rogers while having a direct trail connection to its downtown. The
project completed construction in 2017. In 2017, EDG built a team and began construction drawings on Osage Park north of the Bentonville Municipal
Airport. EDG led all due diligence throughout this complicated project including: CORPS of Engineering permitting, beaver wetlands, lake expansion,
Arkansas Game and Fish Commission flowage easement, public access fishing lake, and now construction quality control. The project was completed
in spring 2020 and has become a significant destination for the public while showcasing the importance of watershed management.
TECHNICAL APPROACH
EDG, Inc. is an environmental design firm whose business model was built around a team approach with the leadership directing the design through
site features and how stormwater moves through the site. Our approach utilizes the expertise of a select group of sub -consultants but is driven by
our design vision and philosophy from day one. EDG envisions the site as a blank canvas, while the architecture becomes one with the land allowing
landforms, stormwater and the ecology of the site to dictate the space. Through this collaborative process the sense of place becomes apparent as an
integrated design that works in concert with the natural environment.
The success of all projects stem from the due diligence completed prior to design. Many project sites have liabilities that are not always known to
ownership. It is our top priority to identify any potential issues that may create a delay in the expected schedule early on and addressed in the most
appropriate fashion. EDG performs a site investigation report prior to starting any design work to identify any potential liabilities that could alter the
schedule.
A few due diligence items follow:
• Thorough Alta Survey;
• Geotechnical Report;
• Wetland and Stream Delineation Report;
• Ecological Assessment;
• Arkansas Game and Fish Flowage Easements;
• CORPS of Engineers permitting
FIELD SUPERVISION CAPABILITY
EDG can ensure quality control throughout the full life of any project. EDG also has the following sister companies, if necessary, to help faciliate and
manage quality throughout the design and construction process: Native Restoration and Management, LLC, Arkansas Native Plant Nursery, LLC and
EDG Build, LLC. With this suite of companies, EDG has the capabilities to provide total turnkey Design Build projects.

Lake Atalanta is an ecological gem nestled into the urban fabric of Rogers, AR. Surrounded by some of Rogers' oldest city parks, the destination
was in need of redevelopment. EDG master planned a new park and trails system that includes miles of boardwalk, a new natural play area and
splash zone, restrooms, a pavilion, wayfinding kiosks, and a kayak hut. Care was taken to enhance the already rich flora and fauna present in the
park through plant selection, sensitive grading and earth moving, site material selection, and vehicular restriction. The goal for revitalization of this
treasured city park is to enhance both the ecological and economical systems for the City of Rogers.
Performance Data: Control of project costs: budget - $8.6m / cost - $8,892,778. 18 month project schedule. Completed Sept. 2015 - Jan 2016.

While working with Bora Architects, Ecological Design Group led the site design of this retrofitted arts center. The site became a direct reflection of
the architecture while mitigating all stomwater within the landscape without losing valuable space. Stormwater planters along with porous pavers
and storm cell technology allows for the roof water to be held on site and released at a natural rate. The plant species with the majority selected
from the Ozark Highland ecoregion were placed in the appropriate locations limiting the need for supplemental irrigation. From the accessibility
seamlessly integrated into the site, concrete formwork, custom benches constructed out of local black locust this site truly embodies a holistic
approach to site design.

The site is a pristine valley located one mile west of downtown Bentonville that has become a regional treasure. The valley trail floats like a ribbon
in the landscape, and features six unique stream crossings. A homestead that dates back to the early 1900's has been transformed into a gathering
spot, and is the heart and soul of the valley. This rich ecological park offers a range of multi -generational experiences. From wildlife watching along
accessible trails cut through native meadows, to extreme mountain biking, the experiences crafted in this valley truly embellish the ecology of the
place.

The site, a flood -prone brownfield on a city block, is located in a watershed recognized by the State of Arkansas as impaired due to the high levels
of pollutants from nearby industrial and residential sources. Existing hard engineering exacerbates these issues. This innovative design uses several
sophisticated Low Impact and Green Infrastructure techniques to solve the problems of pollution and storm water flow. Porous pavers, bio-mats
and living walls function as filters and decelerators for the polluted urban storm water flowing into the site. This unique design celebrates the typi-
cal retention basin as a featured element that not only accommodates large rain events, but contributes to the design of separate spaces with a
central pavilion that acts as the hub of a wheel. If implemented, this design will become a showcase of Low Impact and Green Infrastructure that
will inspire surrounding development to adopt these same techniques.

Building on past studies and community outreach, the Jonesboro Quality of Life and Connectivity Plan 2018 proposes a bicycle and pedestrian
network throughout the city. Currently car oriented, Jonesboro is severely lacking in multi -modal active transit infrastructure. A phased approach
calls for a network of connective corridors which radiate from the downtown towards some of the city's main public parks and a regional loop trail
which utilizes existing rail and utility easements. Design of elements such as overhead crossings and wayfinding signage help to create a sense of
identity for the network system as well as the city of Jonesboro.
Performance Data: Design only, estimated project cost is $45M, schedule to be determined.

EDG was the prime consultant for the Phase II expansion of the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery project in North Little Rock, AR, that included
master planning for the 82 acre cemetery property, design development and construction drawings for the 9 acres Phase II expansion, and
construction administration. The Phase II expansion consisted of 1,100 linear feet of new road, 3,800 concrete burial crypts, expansion of existing
reservoir to collect stormwater for irrigation, and a constructed wetland treatment basin. By using sustainable design techniques, EDG was able to
significantly reduce the long-term maintenance costs for the facility.
