O’Connor Memorial Park Reconstruction Project Project Understanding From our review of the RFP and a site visit, it is understood that project scope includes the improvement of the O’Connor Memorial Park to include the following: 1. Add Pickleball court(s) to the facility, replacing either basketball or handball court(s). 2. Reconstruct the horizontal surfaces of the handball court with post-tensioned concrete. Based upon the Township’s response to the Request for Information (RFI) submitted by GPI on September 29, 2025, it is our understanding that the fate of the vertical handball wall is uncertain and will not be determined until the configuration of the Pickleball court(s) is defined as part of the project. 3. Reconstruct the basketball courts with post-tensioned concrete. 4. Reconstruct the playing surface and perimeter wooden boards at the street hockey rink. 5. Reconstruct the HMA path that runs along the south side of the work area. 6. Upgrade the existing Musco lighting system to LED fixtures. 7. Provide two new ADA-compliant bleachers on concrete slabs. Provide accessible route from existing walkway to new bleachers along the adjoining parking area. 8. Relocate the existing scoreboard. 9. Replace perimeter fencing. 10. Provide stormwater management facilities in accordance with the current Township Stormwater Ordinance as provided with the RFP. 11. Coordinate bid documents with the requirements of the HUD grant conditions. Under Township Ordinance §25-29.1C2, the stormwater regulations will be applied to this project. Under §25-29.2, any development that results in the disturbance of more than 0.5 acre since February 2, 2004 is considered a Major Development. While the project that is the subject of this RFP is not anticipated to disturb more than 0.5 acre, when combined with the 2019-2020 reconstruction of the larger of the two playgrounds approximately 250 feet to the northeast of the subject work area, the cumulative disturbance exceeds the 0.5 acre disturbance threshold. As such, the proposed improvements will be considered a Major Development. Based on the Township’s response to GPI’s RFI dated September 29, 2025, it is our understanding that a waiver from the strict application of the stormwater ordinance will not be considered. Per the RFP, GPI will coordinate and attend an on-site Kick-Off Meeting with Township representatives. This

hat a waiver from the strict application of the stormwater ordinance will not be considered. Per the RFP, GPI will coordinate and attend an on-site Kick-Off Meeting with Township representatives. This meeting will be followed by the preparation of three (3) concept plans along with an Order of Magnitude Cost Estimate for each to be discussed at a Preliminary Design Meeting with the Township. The three concept plans will then be edited and formalized into 2D color renderings. The renderings will then be part of a Public Presentation by GPI A Final Design Meeting will then be held to discuss the Township’s final edits to be incorporated into a Final Plan and Engineer’s Cost Estimate are to be submitted to the Township for approval. Upon approval of the Final Plan, GPI will prepare Construction Contract Documents including Working Drawings and Technical Specifications suitable for public bidding. GPI assumes that the Township will provide the “Front End” documents that will be utilized in the preparation of the specifications book. Deliverables for this project consist of twenty (20) copies each of the Final Plan, Estimates, and the Bidding Documents (Construction Plans & Specifications). GPI will also provide digital copies (AutoCadd and Adobe formats) of the contract documents. It is noted that the Township’s intent regarding the replacement of the vertical handball wall has not been established. As such, this proposal will treat the design effort relating to the design of a new vertical handball wall as an alternate to allow the Township to make that decision after the award of the project. The Township’s decision on the replacement of the handball wall will be required no later than at the Preliminary Design Meeting.
