ARCHITECT SELECTION
At the August 5, 2008 meeting, the City Council directed Staff to form an Architect Selection Committee
comprised of the Vice Mayor, a representative of the Parks and Community Services Commission, the
City Manager, Parks and Community Services Director, Assistant Director of Parks and Community
Services, Parks and Facilities Development Manager and Recreation Supervisor for Sports and Aquatics.
Staff distributed a Request for Proposals for architectural services in July 2008. Six firms submitted
proposals. The firms were BSA, Carrier Johnson + Culture, Dahlin Group Architecture Planning, Field
Paoli, Form4, and WLC. The Architect Selection Committee interviewed all six firms.
Based on the interviews, and relevant experience and capabilities of the design teams proposed by the
firms, the Selection Committee's top pick was Dahlin Group Architecture Planning. The Dahlin Group
provided the City with the qualifications that were most closely suited to the City's requirements for the
project. Dahlin Group Architecture is an award winning international design firm. The firm has expertise
in designing recreational facilities with amenities similar to the Emerald Glen Complex, including:
^ C1ubSport, Pleasanton, Fremont, Oakland, San Ramon and Oregon
^ Renaissance C1ubSport, Walnut Creek and Aliso Viejo
^ Oakwood Athletic Club, Lafayette
^ Sun City Anthem, Henderson Nevada
^ Oak Park Gymnasium, Sacramento
^ YMCA, Alamo, Oakley and Walnut Creek
^ Creekside Recreation Center, Rossmoor
Dahlin Group Architecture Planning also designed the new Shannon Community Center and the award
winning Dublin Senior Center.
Founded in 1976 Dahlin Group is lead by a management team of twelve principals and 180 professionals
from offices in Pleasanton, San Francisco, Solana Beach, and Beijing, China, including architects,
planners, designers, graphic artists, and computer renderers.
Dahlin Group has assembled an excellent team of sub-consultants for the project. The swimming pool
sub-consultant is Aquatic Design Group. They have 24 years of experience designing competition,
recreation and leisure-based aquatic facilities, with representative projects from municipalities, colleges
and universities, high schools, resort hotels, water parks and theme parks. The landscape architect for the
project is Carducci and Associates, which was the firm responsible for the design of Phases II and III-of
Emerald Glen Park.
Staff has conducted reference checks on the firm and their key sub-consultants and recommends
approving an agreement with Dahlin Group.
