is intended to prevent the CONTRACTOR from employing or hiring as many

products, treatments, processes or materials whose availability is critical to the success
of the project the CONTRACTOR has been retained to perform, within the time
requirements of the CITY, or, when no time is specified, then within a commercially
reasonable time. Accordingly, unless the CONTRACTOR has notified the CITY
otherwise, the CONTRACTOR warrants that all products, materials, processes or
treatments identified in the project documents prepared for the CITY are reasonably
commercially available. Any failure by the CONTRACTOR to use due diligence under
this sub -paragraph will render the CONTRACTOR liable to the CITY for any increased
costs that result from the CITY's later inability to obtain the specified items or any
reasonable substitute within a price range that allows for project completion in the time
frame specified or, when not specified, then within a commercially reasonable time.
12. NON-DISCRIMINATION PROVISIONS. The CONTRACTOR shall
not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of age,

physical handicap, or medical condition. The CONTRACTOR will take positive action to
insure that applicants are employed without regard to their age, race, color, ancestry,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, physical handicap, or
medical condition. Such action shall include but not be limited to the following:
employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising,

limit the use and circulation of such information, even within its own organization, to the

Westside Specific Plan
EDAW Inc.
Scope of Work
July 6, 2004
SECTION 1: UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT
National City is beginning the planning process to encourage the evolution of the Westside area into a
vibrant, vital, and attractive district. Westside has a historic presence, with its development as a
residential neighborhood beginning in the 1920s and 1930s. The area has grown to include the "Mile
of Cars," which is the heart of National City's auto -oriented businesses. Residential and light
industrial/commercial uses have coexisted in the Westside area for several decades, but not without
conflict. Neighborhood residents are concerned about noise, parking, unsightly storage, and potential
exposure to environmental pollutants. A significant goal of the planning process will be to ensure
multiple uses can exist in the area with a positive, rather than a negative, relationship.
Land use in Westside is a mix of auto -oriented businesses (both old and new), residential uses, and
community uses. The area lacks significant community or neighborhood -serving businesses.
Although some multi -family residences are present in the project area, most residential uses are older
single-family homes, in varying conditions. The Westside area is home to many low-income families.
Westside includes several important uses that could be more fully developed and linked to one
another as powerful organizing elements. The 24th Street Trolley station and the National City Adult
Education facility are located at the southwestern edge of the district, which is also bordered by
Interstate-5 (1-5). There is a strong community and cultural base to the area, which is expressed by
the presence of several community churches, Kimball Elementary School, a new public library, and the
new police station.
The presence of the trolley station within the project area provides a unique opportunity for transit -
oriented development. It may be desirable to encourage higher -density residential and employment
uses immediately adjacent to the transit station. The existing large, vacant, City -owned property in
proximity to the transit station may be a key catalyst development site, where higher -density
residential or other transit -oriented uses could be established.
For the Westside planning effort to meet its full potential, it must be embraced by the community,
including business owners, the Chamber of Commerce, area residents, and potential developers.
Furthermore, the planning effort must be respectful of the existing cultural context. The City has
started to engage to community by meeting with, and gathering input from, the organizing ministry at
St. Anthony's and the Chamber of Commerce, as well as community residents.
The planning process will identify potential opportunity sites, where catalyst developments will be
encouraged. The Westside Specific Plan will include conceptual site layouts for opportunity sites. In
addition, design guidelines and development standards, which will address density, design, and
parking, will be provided for the Westside area.
The EDAW team assembled for this important National City project will:
• Provide a focused baseline analysis to identify opportunities and issues in the Westside area.
• Conduct market analysis for the area to determine what land uses are economically viable.
• Respect, integrate, and fully develop the existing economic, cultural, and environmental
resources in and around the Westside area.
Exhibit A
EDAW Inc.
Scope of Work
July 6, 2004
• Ensure that the community and stakeholders embrace the plan as a vision for the
neighborhood.
SECTION 2: APPROACH
The EDAW team will work with the City and the community to establish a vision for the Westside
neighborhood and provide for the implementation of the vision through a Specific Plan. Fundamental
principles for our planning process are outlined in the following sections.
• Respect and capitalize on the successes of recent National City development. The City
of National City has much to be proud of. The Mile of Cars is a significant district within the
city and the region, and an important source of revenue. Recent streetscape improvements to
Civic Center Drive and National City Boulevard encourage an active street setting and link the
downtown to 1-5, the Mile of Cars, and the 24th Street Trolley station. In addition, several civic
and community improvements have either been completed, or are in the process of being
developed. For the Westside area to be a successful district of National City, it must celebrate
these achievements. A key component of the Westside Specific Plan will be to provide
linkages between these resources.
• Identify development that makes economic sense. A successful development plan not
only embraces the vision of the community and stakeholders, but it must also be feasible and
provide economic stimulus. The Westside Specific Plan will be based on economic realities.
Economic Research Associates (ERA), a key member of the EDAW team, will begin the
planning process by determining what uses are viable in the near and long term. This
approach ensures that the plan not only sets forth an exciting vision, but that the vision is
possible, probable, and will be implemented.
• Engage the community. Our community and stakeholder involvement process will focus on
key business and neighborhood players, property owners, and residents. Our team includes
three team members who are fluent in Spanish. Our approach is to listen and respond to
community concerns and interests, with a focus on problem -solving and community
enrichment.
• Focus on opportunities. The planning process must create excitement and support for
opportunities. Areas that may be currently perceived as "dead" may be key sites for future
anchor projects. By developing concept plans for opportunity sites, the EDAW team will show
the community and potential developers what can be achieved in the Westside area.
SECTION 3: SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
The Westside planning process will address the following special considerations:
1. Land Use Compatibility
2. Circulation
3. Culture
4. Environment
The following sections provide more information on our approach to each of these considerations.
LAND USE COMPATIBILITY
The Westside area is characterized by a mix of industrial and residential uses. Although this mixture
of uses has historically been present in the area, it continues to create land use conflicts. In 1996, the
City recognized that the housing uses in the area should be allowed given the need for housing, the
Exhibit A
EDAW Inc.
Scope of Work
July 6, 2004
established community in the area, and the lack of suitability of the smaller lots for industrial
development.
Many of the industrial and office buildings in the project area are vacant, showing that the supply for
these land use types exceeds the demand. Although certain areas of Westside may be appropriate
for light industrial and auto -related land uses, residential uses should remain and become more fully
established.
It will also be important that the residential uses be integrated with other land uses that can generate
activity, interest, and a sense of community. Some of these uses already exist in the project area:
Westside includes four educational institutions, three places of worship, a transit station, and a park
and greenway associated with Paradise Creek.
CIRCULATION
The street network is the basic framework of the public realm; it should provide frequent connections,
safety and convenience, and a comfortable walking environment. Public spaces, such as the 24th
Street Trolley station, plazas, community centers, and civic institutions, should form the physical and
virtual heart of the community. These components of a circulation system can act as powerful
organizing elements.
EDAW will evaluate of the existing circulation system and planned improvements, which will be the
basis for ensuring that planned development does not exceed the capacity of the circulation system.
Further, EDAW will emphasize the basic principles of transit -oriented development, including providing
direct access (automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian) to the transit station to encourage transit ridership,
providing higher -density uses around the transit station, and ensuring high -quality urban design that
defines civic and neighborhood identity.
Paradise Creek also provides a unique opportunity for recreational circulation. As a strong linear
element in the planning area, the creek could be more fully developed with recreational amenities,
including a possible trail that could connect to other pedestrian and bicycle linkages.
CULTURE
The Hispanic community of the project area will guide the process. Stakeholders interviews will be
conducted in either Spanish and English, depending upon each participants preference. In addition,
bilingual representatives of the project team will be present at all community outreach efforts. EDAW
will also work with the City to ensure that the appropriate community members are involved in the
process, including church and civic leaders.
The project area includes many homes that were built in the 1920s and 1930s. Several of these
homes may exhibit cultural value that should be protected and integrated into the future vision for the
Westside area. EDAW is well known in the San Diego area for our expertise and respect for cultural
and historic resources. Our staff will provide expert input at the beginning of the planning process to
identify those resources that have the most potential for historical significance.
ENVIRONMENT
The project area is largely urbanized. However, there are several attributes of the Westside area that
will require a keen understanding of environmental science to ensure full optimization of resource
values. Environmental issues and opportunities include the following:
Exhibit A
EDAW Inc.
Scope of Work
July 6, 2004
• Hazardous Materials. The project area has historically been used for automotive and
industrial uses, which have created hazardous materials concerns. EDAW team member
Environmental Business Solutions (EBS) will conduct a site reconnaissance focused on
identifying hazardous materials concerns. EBS will provide a summary of existing hazardous
materials conditions and future development implications to inform the planning process for
the area.
• Paradise Creek. Paradise Creek emerges from underground in the project area from 18th
Street, south. EDAW's expertise in biological resource restoration and enhancement will allow
the effective identification of biological resources and educational opportunities along the
creek. In addition, the creek may provide an exciting linkage from the transit station, northeast
to the city's downtown. The identification and capitalization of opportunities along the creek
will be coordinated with Kimball School, which is continuing to develop educational
opportunities along the creek.
The Specific Plan will also need to meet the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). With over 13 years of experience in CEQA and land use law, Project Director Bobbette
Biddulph will ensure the efficient and defensible preparation of environmental documentation for the
project.
SECTION 4: SCOPE OF WORK TASKS
This section provides a summary of the tasks included in the scope of work EDAW will follow for the
Westside Specific Plan.
A. PROJECT INITIATION
The EDAW team will meet with City staff to kick off the planning process, discuss the area's history,
and review known elements of the community's vision for the project area. At the initiation of the
project, a schedule will be finalized, and relevant data and documents will be collected and reviewed.
In this task, ERA will collect any relevant economic data and reports.
In order to support the identification of issues and opportunities, EDAW, ERA, and Estudio Teddy Cruz
will participate in a one -day site visit in the Westside area. The site visit could be attended by staff
from the Planning Department and/or the Community Development Commission, if the City desires.
The issues to be discussed include, but are not limited to: pedestrian access and linkages, land use
opportunities, urban design concepts relevant to the project areas, opportunities for optimizing transit
networks, and opportunities along Paradise Creek. Input will be shared between team members
during this site visit.
In this task, EDAW will also prepare a base map of the project area in a City -approved format.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS
1. Stakeholder Interviews
In collaboration with City staff, EDAW will identify key stakeholders for the Westside area. EDAW will
conduct stakeholder interviews that will target interaction with key community leaders, property
owners, agencies, developers, and special interest groups. The interviews will provide information
about the community's priorities and planned activities in the project area. The interviews will be
conducted over a 2-day period, with a maximum of 14 individual interviews. For this task, it is
assumed that the City will provide an initial listing of potential stakeholders, which EDAW will
supplement or refine. Estudio Teddy Cruz will provide input into possible stakeholders for the
4
Exhibit A
EDAW Inc.
Scope of Work
July 6, 2004
interviews based upon their knowledge of the community and possible housing development
representatives.
Interviews will be held in either Spanish or English, depending upon each participant's preference.
Mariana Lopez, the project team translator, will be available to attend the interviews. Although Ms.
Lopez is budgeted to attend all of the interviews, it may be possible to limit her attendance to one of
the two days.
ERA and Estudio Teddy Cruz will work with EDAW in this task to identify appropriate questions that
should be asked during the interviews. Neither ERA nor Estudio Teddy Cruz will participate in the
stakeholder interviews.
2. Market Analysis
ERA will begin the process of assessing market opportunities through an analysis of existing market
conditions.
ERA will review the following:
• Recent studies prepared for the Westside and National City;
• Regional and local economic, employment, and demographic trends;
• Current land use policies in the study area;
> Commercial and residential development trends, rent and sales prices, and occupancy levels;
• Recent land sales transactions;
• Characteristics of competing areas, existing and planned;
• Characteristics of transit -oriented development projects planned in South County;
> Planned and proposed major infrastructure and public facility improvements;
• Existing development proposals;
> Taxable sales trends in the study area;
• Business license data in the study area;
> Property ownership characteristics; and
• Other data as appropriate.
ERA will assess the market potential of key uses for near to long term development. ERA will forecast
demand for single-family and multi -family housing based on market area household formation and
reasonable capture rates for housing of various price -points. ERA will estimate market area buying
power and demand for major commercial development based on sales per square foot factors, and
residential demand based on projected household formation rates and tenure. The potential for
nonretail employment lands (light industrial uses) will be based on site opportunities and fair -share
capture of future growth based on the workforce characteristics in the area and competing
employment lands within commuting distance. Market area demand will be compared to current and
anticipated future supply, and reasonable market penetration rates for the Westside over time will be
estimated.
ERA will summarize the findings of the market analysis in report format and will be available to present
the findings of the report at up to two meetings. The report will provide a summary of market
opportunities and constraints, viable land use projections, recommended market niches, land
consolidation issues and opportunities, development and redevelopment opportunities and
constraints, and opportunities and issues associated with mixed -use development.
Financial implications of future development will also be addressed in the summary report.
5
Exhibit A
EDAW Inc.
Scope of Work
July 6, 2004
3. Hazardous Materials
EBS will prepare a hazardous materials assessment for the project area. The assessment will include
a site reconnaissance focused on identifying hazardous materials concerns. In particular, EBS
personnel will note evidence of present or past land uses that may have involved the storage, use, or
disposal of hazardous materials or wastes. EBS personnel will note the presence of indicators of
hazardous materials at the site, such as above and underground storage tanks, fuel dispensers,
chemicals, drums, large areas of stained soil or concrete, and stressed or dead vegetation.
EBS will also obtain a database report containing the readily available regulatory agency records for
the project area (including records from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, California
Integrated Waste Management Board, County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health, Cal -
EPA, U.S. EPA, and local fire departments). This scope of work does not include regulatory file review
at the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health. The review of the above -referenced
records will be augmented by a review of the HMMD Hazardous Material HE-17 database, dated
February 2003, of facilities storing hazardous materials, generating hazardous wastes, and
discharging unauthorized releases, for the site addresses.
EBS will summarize the findings of the hazardous materials analysis in an assessment report.
4. Land Use and Design Issues and Opportunities
EDAW will prepare a summary of land use, policy, circulation, and urban design factors relevant to the
future of the Westside area. This analysis will address:
• Current land uses and characteristics
> Property ownership
> Relevant General Plan policies
• Applicable development standards and zoning codes
• Existing regional and local roadway conditions and planned improvements that have been
identified and could affect the project area
• Pedestrian access and linkages
> Opportunities for optimizing existing transit networks
• Existing and planned open space, park, and natural resources
• Potential historic resources (location, opportunities, and implications of potential
redevelopment)
EDAW will summarize the issues and opportunities affecting the Westside area in a memorandum
format, supplemented by graphic exhibits, as necessary. The circulation portion of the analysis will be
based on interviews with City and transit agency staff, readily available traffic data, and our team's
knowledge of transit -oriented development principles.
5. Public Meeting #1 - Community Workshop
Upon completion of the existing conditions analyses in Task B, EDAW will conduct a public outreach
workshop to engage community members and business owners and to gather community input on the
goals and objectives for the project.
EDAW will be responsible for developing and maintaining a mailing list and noticing for the three public
meetings in this scope of work. It is assumed that the City will provide an initial listing of interested
individuals. Meeting mailings and announcements are assumed to be 1-page black and white notices,
indicating the date, time, location, and general purpose of the meeting (300-word maximum). Meeting
notices will be provided in English and Spanish. Spanish translations will be provided by Mariana
6
Exhibit A
EDAW Inc.
Scope of Work
July 6, 2004
Lopez. EDAW will arrange for the rental of audio -video equipment, if necessary. For cost estimating
purposes, it is assumed that audio -video equipment, including headsets necessary for translations, will
not exceed $500 per meeting.
The meeting is assumed to be 4 hours in length. Mariana Lopez will be available to provide translation
at the public meeting. Teddy Cruz will attend and participate in the meeting.
At this workshop, EDAW will lead the community in a brainstorming session to tap into ideas for the
vision of the Westside area. The public outreach workshop will provide an opportunity for all
interested community members, property owners, business operators, and other stakeholders to be
actively involved in the planning and design process for the Westside area. The purpose of this
interaction will be to identify the community's major issues and any recommendations the community
may have for the Westside area. EDAW will document the meeting results in a summary memo,
which the City can distribute to meeting participants and other interested parties.
C. ALTERNATIVES DEVELOPMENT AND REFINEMENT
1. Alternative Concept Plans
Based on the identification of existing opportunities and constraints, and in consideration of the goals
expressed by the community and the City, EDAW will develop alternative concept plans for the project
area.
The EDAW team will prepare up to three alternative concept plans. The alternatives will identify three
distinct futures or "themes" for the Westside area, which could include differing intensities of land use
density, different land use focuses, and/or differing degrees of transit -oriented focus.
Each of the three alternatives will conceptually illustrate:
• Public realm and circulation framework including streets, transit, pedestrian paths, bicycle
routes and paths, and parks
• Allocation and distribution of land uses including civic, residential, industrial, retail, office,
religious facilities, and schools
• Landscape framework plan
• Opportunity sites
Each of the alternative development schemes will include large format and easily understood plan
graphics. It is anticipated that at least one of the alternatives will likely focus on transit -oriented design
with higher densities around the 24th Street Trolley Station.
Estudio Teddy Cruz will be involved in the alternatives development phase through the preparation of
preliminary planning concepts for alternative concept plans for the Westside area. The EDAW and
Estudio Teddy Cruz design teams will conduct internal brainstorming independently, and then meet
together for a 4-hour combined design workshop. After the design workshop, Estudio Teddy Cruz
would be available to provide key drawings, vignettes, or illustrations of key elements of the project
alternatives. Because the nature of the alternatives is not known at this time, it is not possible to
predict that nature of these components. However, for this scope of work it is assumed that 3 such
drawings will be Estudio Teddy Cruz, and that each drawing will average 3 hours of preparation time.
For this stage of the process, rough concept plans or sketches will be appropriate.
ERA will work with EDAW during the alternatives development phase to ensure that the alternatives
respond to market conditions. The alternative concept plans will be based in part on the market
analysis conducted in Task B2; however, it is recognized that one or more alternatives may include
7
Exhibit A
EDAW Inc.
Scope of Work
July 6, 2004
components identified by the community as being desirable, regardless of marketability. EDAW will
identify the potential new development possible under each alternative at buildout, expressed either in
square footage (for industrial or commercial uses) or number of housing units. In addition, the
projected density of development will be identified.
EDAW anticipates working closely with City staff throughout this task. This relationship will involve
interaction in each level of design refinement and will require a strong communication link.
After the parameters for the draft alternative concepts are prepared by EDAW, ERA will provide a
qualitative summary of the marketability of the alternatives. ERA's review of the alternatives will be
based on an understanding of the market in the project area (as gained in Task B2). ERA will develop
a short memorandum summarizing the market implications of the alternatives suitable for presentation
at Public Meeting #2.
2. Public Meeting #2 - Alternatives Presentation
EDAW will organize a second public meeting to present the concept plans and receive feedback from
the community about the possible future development for the area. Mariana Lopez will be available to
translate the public meeting. Teddy Cruz will attend and participate in the meeting.
At Public Meeting #2, ERA will be available to present the market assessment of the alternatives and
answer questions.
3. Preferred Alternative
After Public Meeting #2, the EDAW team will work with City staff to create a preferred land use mix
and development strategy for the Westside area that meets the existing and future needs of the
community. The preferred strategy will set out a feasible development plan for the area. The
conceptual plan will either be a hybrid of the previous conceptual alternatives or a refined version of a
preferred alternative.
4. Public Meeting #3 - Preferred Alternative Presentation
EDAW will plan and facilitate a third public meeting to present the refined plan concept for the
Westside area. This meeting will allow the EDAW team to return to the community and present the
results of the feedback received at Public Meeting #2. Mariana Lopez will be available to translate the
public meeting. Teddy Cruz will attend and participate in the meeting.
D. DRAFT SPECIFIC PLAN AND DESIGN GUIDELINES
The EDAW team will prepare the Westside Specific Plan based on the results of the previous tasks.
The Specific Plan will be a concise, graphically -oriented document that illustrates design concepts and
clearly describes proposed land use changes, development strategies, public and private
improvements, circulation improvements, and urban design recommendations. The plan will include
density and other development standards.
The Westside Specific Plan will include the following elements:
• Introduction
> Community Goals and Objectives
> Land Use and Circulation
• Utilities and Community Services
> Implementation Program
8
Exhibit A
EDAW Inc.
Scope of Work
July 6, 2004
> Design Guidelines
> Development Standards
ERA will provide input into the development of the Implementation Program through the identification
of possible financing mechanisms that could be explored to encourage implementation of the Specific
Plan. ERA's level of effort for this task is limited to 20 hours.
For development of the Specific Plan, it is assumed that information regarding utilities and community
services will be readily available from the City Engineering Department, SDG&E, and the Sweetwater
Authority. If it is determined that the information on existing and planned services, and the potential
need for expansion of the utility systems can not be addressed through the Engineering Department
and other utility service providers, this contract may need to be amended to allow EDAW to contract
with a civil engineer for these services.
For the Specific Plan phase, Estudio Teddy Cruz will develop design guidelines and conceptual
designs for key sites or concepts. Design guidelines will be provided in text, supplemented by
vignettes or concept sketches, where appropriate. The design guidelines will provide guidance to
property owners and developers in the Westside area regarding scale, land use mix, design concepts,
landscaping, pedestrian amenities and circulation, etc. In addition to the design guidelines, it is
assumed that up to 2 conceptual designs could be provides for key opportunity sites. Estudio Teddy
Cruz will be available to provide minor revisions to the design guidelines and concept sketches, as
directed by EDAW or National City.
EDAW will ensure that the Specific Plan figures and illustrations are compatible with the City's
resources. This scope of work includes providing an update of the GIS land use inventory for the City,
consistent with land use classifications directed by the City Planning Department.
Five copies of the Administrative Draft Specific Plan will be provided to City staff for review. It is
assumed that the City will provide a set of consolidated comments to EDAW.
E. INITIAL STUDY
EDAW will prepare an Initial Study (IS) for the Draft Specific Plan. The IS will follow the Environmental
Checklist provided in Appendix G to the CEQA Guidelines.
If the IS finds that all potential environmental effects can be mitigated to less -than -significant levels
using standard mitigation measures or environmental controls, EDAW would prepare a Negative
Declaration for the project. EDAW would be available to respond to comments on the proposed
Negative Declaration.
If potentially significant impacts are present, EDAW will work with the City to identify the most
appropriate approach to address these environmental issues. This scope of work does not include
preparation of detailed technical studies or an Environmental Impact Report. If it is determined that
this additional work is necessary, EDAW would work with the City to define an appropriate scope of
work and contract amendment.
EDAW will provide the IS and MND in electronic format and a reproducible original. It is assumed that
the City will be responsible for necessary reproduction, noticing, and distribution of the environmental
document.
F. FINAL SPECIFIC PLAN
9
Exhibit A
EDAW Inc.
Scope of Work
July 6, 2004
Based on City comments on the Administrative Draft Specific Plan document, EDAW will prepare a
Public Review Draft Specific Plan. EDAW will incorporate revisions to address City comments and will
produce 20 copies of the Public Review Draft Specific Plan document. If requested, EDAW will also
provide a reproducible original to the City, so that additional copies can be made if they are necessary.
EDAW will be available to attend up to two public hearings for adoption of the Specific Plan. Following
City Council adoption, EDAW will produce a Final Specific Plan and provide a clean, print -ready
version of the document (reproducible original), incorporating any comments or minor edits provided
by the City Council. In addition, EDAW will provide the final document in digital form, either via CD or
posted to an easily accessible FTP site. It is assumed that the City will be responsible for reproduction
of the Final Specific Plan.

emigrating to the United States, continued his studies at
California State Polytechnic University San Luis Obispo,
with a year spent in Florence, Italy, through the
California State University International Program,
(B.Arch,1987 ). After working for some years with the
firm of Pacific Associates Planners & Architects in San
Diego (1984-89), he went to work in the office of San
Diego architect Rob Wellington Quigley (1989-1993). In
1991, Cruz received the prestigious Rome Prize in
Architecture, becoming a Fellow of the American
Academy in Rome. Returning to San Diego from Rome,
he established his own practice - estudio teddy cruz - in
1993, and shortly thereafter completed his architectural
education at Harvard University GSD (M.Des.S. 1997).
Cruz's work dwells at the border between San Diego
and Tijuana, Mexico, inspiring a practice and pedagogy
that emerges out of the particularities of this bicultural
territory and the integration of theoretical research and
design production. He has taught and Lectured in
various universities in the U.S. and Latin America and
in 1994 he conceived and began the LA/LA Latin
America / Los Angeles studio, an experimental summer
workshop at SCI-Arc in Los Angeles. He is currently an
associate Professor in the school of architecture at
Woodbury University in San Diego where he is
currently forming BI -Border Institute- to further
research the urban phenomena at the border between
the US and Mexico. In 1998 he was invited to be editor
of the British Journal AD Architectural Design for a
special issue on the Architecture of the Borderlands.
Teddy has received awards for projects on both sides of
the border, including various AIA San Diego chapter
awards, as well as for his academic work regarding
issues of urbanism in the broader border region. Most
recently, he received the San Diego AIA Honor Award
for 2002, a 2004 and 2001 PA Awards from Architecture
Magazine, the Architectural League of New York Young
Architects Forum Award and the Robert Taylor
Teaching Award from the ACSA. Teddy has been
involved in many civic and cultural advocacy groups at
a local, national and international level. He is currently
a member of the board of directors of C-3, one of San
Diego's oldest advisory citizen groups on urban and
environmental policies and a member of the
international editorial board of AD in London. He also
co-chairs, with Joyce Cutler -Shaw, the Hot Topics
Committee for the Council of Design Professionals in
San Diego and he was recently invited to be part of the
advisory committee for the 2nd Mies Van Der Rohe
Award for Latin American Architecture and a panelist
for the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington
D.C.

EXPLANATION
The City Council directed that the Planning Department solicit proposals from qualified firms for
preparation of a specific plan for the Westside and that a selection committee review submittals and
interview prospective firms. Proposals were received from four qualified firms. The selection
committee, made up of citizens, staff and Mayor/Council representatives, interviewed them and
recommended that a contract be negotiated with EDAW, Inc. with changes to include Teddy Cruz
(architectural design) and Mariana Lopez (community outreach) in the planning team. This has been
accomplished.
The Community Development Commission previously directed that funds be transferred to the City to
cover the costs for the consultant assistance. Changes in the project team have resulted in slightly
increased costs. The need for additional funding is addressed in a separate Community Development
Commission agenda statement.
EDAW, Inc. is well qualified to complete required work. The firm has prepared similar plans for many
other cities.
