Proposal – Citywide Landscape Assessment
Hirsch & Associates, Inc. (HAI) has creative and extensive experience in all aspects of design
required to lead this project and is pleased to present our proposal. We recently completed a very
similar SB1383 assessment for the City of Torrance. Having worked for the City of Diamond Bar
in the past on various park and roadway landscape projects, we are familiar with the City’s
landscape conditions and will utilize that knowledge on this study. We design all irrigation in
house for our projects and are experts with the State Water Reduction Requirements/AB1881.
Having this expertise is an asset to the Green Waste Study as it relates to calculated water
savings and irrigation application type at each facility and streetscape compared to application of
green waste product.
I will provide personal service and attention to the City of Diamond Bar. My contact information
is: chuck@hailandarch.com, 714.776.4340 x108. I will have direct and continuous responsibility
in all matters dealing with planning and data collection as well as direct our in-house design staff
attend the City meetings. I shall be the contract point of contact and am duly authorized to bind
HAI contractually with the City. Proposal valid for 90 days from submittal date. HAI shall comply
with the City Standard Agreement.
HAI and our team shall deliver an inspired approach to the assessment study which shall be our
highest priority. We are thankful to have this opportunity to continue our working relationship with
the City of Diamond Bar.
Part 1 Area Assessment
• Attend Project Kickoff meeting and finalize the project schedule, obtain all record
drawings available for City Parks and Streetscapes, public landscapes.
• Work with City Information Systems (IS) staff to formalize communication, coordinate file
type for protocol of document deliverables and GIS data.
• Formalize all City owned landscape per category and create a matrix of such (examples,
sports parks, neighborhood parks, streetscapes, libraries, City Hall ect.)
• Obtain aerial imagery of all public landscapes and import into Autocad for the purpose of
calculating landscape areas. Scale aerial imagery for this purpose. Review GIS
Database of Public Landscapes within the City limits.
• Inspect all/each location identified and photo document conditions. Review irrigation and
identify/confirm application type (example spray heads, rotors, drip ect.)
• Finalize the matrix of public spaces with calculated areas for each identified facility.
• Review all data with City Staff for input and confirmation.
Part 2 Material Recommendation and Budget
• Determine appropriate organic materials for each landscape type. We have included the
Torrance report for the City to reference as part of this proposal evaluation. Generally,
grass areas receive compost annually, slopes and shrub and trees planters receive mulch
or a combination of compost and mulch annually.
• Provide specifications for application method, schedule and quantities.
• Obtain (2) quotes from different suppliers for supply and installation estimates. Logistics
of scheduling and ability to meet the needs of the City of Diamond Bar.
• Meet with City Staff to review Area Assessment findings and Materials Costs.
Part 3 Final Report
• Prepare the final report and provide the City with PDF digital copy as well as (1) printed
copy. Include GIS Layer Data digital file.
• Report shall include formalized findings from Parts 1 and 2.
Proposed Project Team
The following staff members and their responsibilities are as follows. Technical staff members are
not listed.

Methodology/Project Understanding
Having recently completed a Green Waste Study for the City of Torrance, HAI has a
firm understanding of the effort required to complete this study. We present the
Torrance report as evidence of our understanding. The Diamond Bar study will include an
additional GIS component of which HAI shall include and undertake. HAI will obtain Data Set
from public Geo Hub for the baseline of this work. We do not anticipate any problems undertaking
the work. We do want to point out that it is very difficult to meet the state quantity mandate as
illustrated by the Torrance Report findings. Each City will differ depending on the area of
landscape available to absorb the green waste product.

Philosophy
Planning, designing and building a project to meet today’s needs
is an all encompassing challenge. The practice of landscape
architecture has become an integrated team effort, carefully
considering the needs and desires of the people who live, work
and play within the projects we design. As landscape architects
and planners, we have a responsibility to the general public to
create the best possible environment. The knowledge to design
this environment is obtained from two sources, our past experi-
ence; which help us provide practical and timely designs within
budget restraints, and our vision of the future; which gives our
designs life and meaning that will grow beyond the present.

Greenwaste Study:
SB1383 Procurement of Recovered Organic Waste
GREENWASTE STUDY PURPOSE:
SB 1383 is a statewide regulation intended to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and
slow the effects of climate change by reducing the amount of organic materials headed
to landfills. In response to SB 1383, the City of Torrance has partnered with landscape
architecture firm Hirsch & Associates to assist with the procurement of recovered
organic waste products. This report consists of mapping studies and volume quantity
estimates of selected city-owned sites.

Purpose, Introduction, & Methodology
INTRODUCTION:
As per SB 1383, the City of Torrance shall procure a quantity of recovered organic waste
products that meets or exceeds 100% of its procurement target on of after January 1, 2025.
This is calculated using the CalRecycle calculator tool:
Jurisdiction population: 144,832 residents
Per capita procurement target: 0.08 tons of organic waste per CA resident per year
100% procurement target: 144,832 x 0.08 = 11,586.6 tons of organic waste per CA
resident per year
To be in compliance with SB 1383, 65% of the procurement target is to be achieved on or
after January 1, 2024, and 30% of the procurement target is to be achieved on or after
January 1, 2023.
65% procurement target: 11,586.6 x 0.65 = 7,531.3 tons of organic waste per CA
resident per year
30% procurement target: 11,586.6 x 0.3 = 3,476.0 tons of organic waste per CA
resident per year
Various recovered organic waste products are deemed acceptable to meet the
procurement target. However, the City of Torrance has determined that the only feasible
products are compost and mulch. Each product is given a different conversion factor that
determines how much it counts to the procurement target:
1.45 cubic yards of compost = 1 ton of organic waste towards procurement target
1 ton of mulch = 1 ton of organic waste towards procurement target
METHODOLOGY:
Quantities of mulch and compost will be combined to achieve the procurement targets.
Mapping studies will look at existing landscape areas where mulch can be applied,
and existing turf areas where a topdress of compost can be applied. Scaled Google
Earth aerial imagery will be used to determine approximate boundaries of landscape
and turf areas. Due to the approximate nature of this method, and due to the presence
of trees in many areas, we can assume a deviation of +/- 10% for each mulch and
compost quantity calculated.
COMPOST:
When topdressing turf with compost, it should be applied at a thickness of
1/4" to 1/2" thickness. Ratio for compost quantity calculations:
1 CY compost / 1,000 SF turf
The calculated CY quantity of compost will be divided by the conversion factor of
1.45 to determine how much it contributes to the procurement target.
EXAMPLE CALCULATION:
Existing turf: 24,812 SF
1 CY compost X CY compost 1,000X = 24,812
1,000 SF turf 24,812 SF turf X = 24.8 CY of compost
24.8 CY / 1.45 = 17.1 tons towards procurement target
MULCH:
Mulch should be applied to landscape areas at a minimum thickness of 3".
At 3" thickness, there is 9.25 CY of mulch per 1,000 SF of landscape area (LA). 1
CY of mulch typically weights between 400-800 lbs depending on moisture
content. 600 lbs, or 0.3 tons of mulch per CY of mulch will be used for quantity
calculations. Ratio for mulch quantity calculations:
9.25
1,000 SF LA
EXAMPLE CALCULATION:
Existing landscape area: 12,089 SF
9.25 CY mulch X CY mulch 1000X = 111,823.3
1,000 SF LA 12,089 SF LA X = 111.8 CY mulch
111.8 CY x 0.3 = 33.6 tons towards procurement target
