We have assembled a highly qualified team, including Ware Associates (architecture/engineering services), Zeiger Engineers, Inc. (electrical engineering), and mack5 (cost estimating). Questa is widely recognized as one of California’s leading park and trail planning and engineering design firms for open space and natural park areas in constrained and challenging sites, including coastal and beach areas. We also have extensive experience in trail planning and design in parks, and sites with complex environmental and geotechnical issues. Questa provides complete services in planning, landscape architecture and engineering design of recreational improvement projects, from preliminary engineering investigations/feasibility studies and constraints analysis, development of concept plans, CEQA environmental analysis and regulatory permitting, through final plans and design drawings, bid assistance, and construction management. We have specialized expertise in more complicated aspects of park planning and design, including complex environmental issues, liability and safety, green energy and small-scale water wastewater, and accessibility issues. Our team’s careful consideration of environmental issues and creative design to minimize potential impacts are keys to our implementation success. We also routinely work with multiple agencies stakeholders and partners to achieve effective design solutions that the public supports. Our team of civil, environmental, geotechnical, and electrical engineers, architects, landscape architects, biologists, ecologists, hydrologists, engineering geologists, and permit specialists has worked closely together on many difficult and challenging projects over the years, including many projects similar to the Pillar Point Project. We have planned and designed low-impact multi-use paths, parks, and open space areas in many communities throughout Northern and Central California, including recent work on the Green Valley Trail for the Coastal Conservancy and San Mateo Parks, the Bodega Dunes Campground, with Sonoma County Regional Parks and State Parks, the North Coast Trail for Sonoma County Parks, and the Albany Beach, Breuner/Dotson Marsh and Coyote Hills Regional Park/Patterson Ranch Projects for East Bay Regional Park District. We are excited to have the opportunity to provide assistance to San Mateo County Harbor District. As a Principal of Questa, I am authorized to negotiate on behalf of and contractually bind the firm. This Proposal is binding for 120 calendar days. We have reviewed the Sample Agreement contained in the RFP and take no exceptions. We are not aware of any conflicts of interest that would limit our ability to provide the requested services. Please contact me at (510) 236-6114, ext. 206, or by email at [email protected], if you have any questions regarding this proposal. Sincerely, Jeffrey H.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Taylor Samuelson [email protected] 510-286-4182 April 19, 2019 Native Oyster Reef Construction Underway in Richmond San Francisco Bay Living Shorelines Project 350 Reef Structures will become habitat for Native Oysters and Pacific Herring Richmond, CA - From April 9-30, 350 oyster reef elements are being placed in nearshore areas to create a living shoreline near Giant Marsh at Point Pinole Regional Shoreline managed by East Bay Regional Park District in the City of Richmond. Eelgrass beds will be planted next to the reefs in the following weeks to create a habitat ideal for the recruitment of native Olympia oysters and other aquatic species. Living shorelines use nature-based infrastructure to create shoreline buffers that reduce the impacts from sea level rise and erosion, while creating habitat for fish and wildlife. Though a relatively new climate adaptation technique, living shorelines are proving to be an effective approach to protecting coastal resources and shoreline communities. The Giant Marsh project is one of a small number of living shoreline trial projects taking place in the San Francisco Bay, but is the only one that connects the submerged underwater habitats with adjacent wetlands and upland ecotone plant communities. This innovative demonstration project is testing a combined living shorelines approach with habitat elements at different tidal elevations at the same site, with a goal of encouraging other cities and partners to undertake this kind of climate adaptation habitat restoration project at additional sites in the bay. The multi-habitat project at Giant Marsh builds on lessons learned from the Coastal Conservancy’s living shoreline project constructed directly across the bay in San Rafael in 2012, which included the construction of oyster reefs and eelgrass beds.

International Journal of Natural Resource Ecology and Management . Vol. 6, No. 3, 2021, pp. 143-146. doi: 10.11648/j.ijnrem.20210603.15 Received : July 1, 2021; Accepted : July 15, 2021; Published : August 5, 2021 Abstract: California Back Rail ( Laterallus jamaicensis coturniculus ) is the smallest rail in North America and is largely a resident of fresh, brackish and saltwater wetlands. Due to habitat degradation and destruction, this species is listed as a threatened species in California. Protecting and managing its breeding habitat and restoring adjacent suitable marsh sites are strategies to help its population recover. Habitat enhancement efforts by staff and volunteers of the East Bay Regional Park District at Giant Marsh in Richmond, California have been improving conditions for this native species since 2004. Analysis of systematically obtained call count data, collected there during the breeding seasons of 2013 through 2021 is showing a positive trend of increasing California Black Rails, as compared to the first baseline information collected in 1977 at this location. Field research also is showing that the rail population is now four times higher at this site and that they are typically confined to high marsh habitat, at the upper limits of tidal flooding.
