DocuSign Envelope ID: 3D33619A-OD44-4FDD-8749-BC3C4975OD59 Orange County Veterans Memorial Scope of Services and Fee Proposal November 11,2015 AMENDED March 30,2016 Page 2 STEP TWO: CONCEPT REFINEMENT Since the Committee has agreed that the general design concept for the former site instilled the spirit of the project's mission of being a ceremonial, contemplative and gathering space, our next step will be to refine the design to fit the setting of the new site. Since the new surrounding site conditions are so different from those of the former site (natural wooded setting versus an open cemetery setting), the concept will need some fresh thinking. However,we can benefit from the prior design process studies. Based on the May 28, 2015 site meeting with the Committee,the Consultant understands the essence that the new design must address: that of a quiet, reflective space that recognizes and honors the living and late veterans who have served their country. At the May 28 site meeting, members of the Committee provided additional input and thoughts. The Consultant envisions that the first task in the Concept Refinement Phase is to come up with a new scheme and layout using appropriate, site-sensitive materials. This will include defining the expected users, pedestrian access, vehicular parking,and general circulation. The Consultant will prepare a concept and will present it to the Committee for consideration. The goal will be to marry the previously approved design to the new site, but in this very different setting, significant design components must be altered. The Consultant anticipates making an on-site presentation so the Committee can visualize the design in the actual setting among the trees. The Consultant will look to the Committee for feedback and input and will proceed to the final design concept. 2.
