I. INTRODUCTION

UC San Diego Health is one of five academic medical centers within the 10-campus University of California (UC) system and a critical component of UC San Diego’s public-service and healthcare mission. Collectively known as UC Health, these medical centers comprise the fourth largest health care delivery system in California and train nearly 50 percent of the State’s medical students and medical residents. The UC San Diego Hillcrest Campus (“Hillcrest Campus”), located 13 miles south of the UC San Diego La Jolla Campus and one mile north of downtown San Diego (see Exhibit 1), is a major academic medical center that supports the clinical, research, and teaching missions of the university and its faculty. It serves as a critical regional resource, with the area’s only Level 1 Trauma Center, Regional Burn Center, multiple-organ transplant center, and high-risk obstetrics/infant special care center among the programs serving San Diego and Imperial Counties. The Hillcrest Campus also serves as a major health care safety net provider for a significant portion of the County’s uninsured inpatient care.

UC San Diego Health’s vision is to create an environment where all three core missions of academic medicine – teaching, research and clinical excellence – interact to deliver the highest level of care and medical innovation in a nurturing and supportive environment, with a five-star patient experience. They are also dedicated to expanding access to health care and health education to further fulfill our mission of creating a healthier world one life at a time.

The Hillcrest Campus is at the cusp of an exciting physical transformation. Existing planning documents date back to 1995, thus the University seeks to redefine its physical plan through a new Hillcrest Campus Master Planning Study (MPS) and Long Range Development Plan (LRDP). The MPS will define the urban planning framework with associated design guidelines, while the LRDP is the formal general land use and policy plan that identifies population projections, site capacity and development objectives for the Hillcrest Campus through a horizon year of 2035. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a program level Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will also be prepared to analyze impacts of the growth envisioned in the LRDP. The current 1995 Hillcrest Campus LRDP (http://physicalplanning.ucsd.edu/plans/docs/HillcrestLRDP.pdf) was the second comprehensive plan for the Hillcrest Campus, with the first LRDP adopted in 1978 (HYPERLINK). The 1995 LRDP was informed by an Urban Design Guidelines Study (http://physicalplanning.ucsd.edu/plans/docs/hillcrest_design_guidelines.pdf). While those plans provide a historical basis for understanding the Hillcrest Campus, the overall objective of this current planning effort is to envision a physical renewal that reflects an already thriving community while meeting critical healthcare objectives and providing potential for academic, learning, retail and housing and other amenities. In 2013, UC San Diego Health created a Healthcare Strategic Plan to address growth over the following 5 years. Updates to this plan, which set the basis for strategic healthcare priorities at both La Jolla and Hillcrest campuses, will help inform the programming efforts for the MPS and LRDP. More information can be found at https://health.ucsd.edu/about/Pages/strategic-plan.aspx. Finally UC San Diego completed its own Strategic Plan, titled “Defining the Future of the Public Research University” in

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION 2 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO Hillcrest Campus LRDP

2014 that provides an overall vision of the University’s mission and values (document can be found here: http://plan.ucsd.edu/).

II. BACKGROUND

UC San Diego has had a presence in Hillcrest since 1966, when the University assumed operations of operations of the County Hospital. Shortly after, the University acquired the hospital and constructed surrounding support facilities. UC San Diego Health has invested substantial resources in converting a limited acute care hospital into a comprehensive academic medical center, and expanded operations to the La Jolla Campus in 1993. Since 1997, new construction at the Hillcrest Campus has been limited primarily to interior renovations and maintenance.

UC San Diego Health supports a two‐campus strategy to address its presence at both La Jolla and Hillcrest. The strategy aims to integrate the Hillcrest and La Jolla campus locations into a comprehensive enterprise that occurs at two physically separate locations but is still viewed as a functional whole. The Hillcrest Campus currently serves as the focal point for community service missions. It houses several specialty care centers that allow the urban campus to serve as a major tertiary and quaternary referral center for San Diego, Riverside and Imperial counties. These care centers include the area’s only Regional Burn Center, a Comprehensive Stroke Center, a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and one of only two Level I Trauma Centers in the county. The campus is also home to the Owen Clinic, among the nation’s top HIV care programs.

The Hillcrest Campus is situated on a prominent site with views of Mission Valley and canyons to the north and abuts the Hillcrest neighborhood to the south. The Hillcrest Campus comprises approximately 56 acres and is bordered by residential and other medical uses to the east, canyon open space reserves to the north and west, and residential and community commercial to the south (see Exhibit 2). Of the total 56 acres it is estimated that roughly 20 acres are developable as the remaining site area consists of canyons and sensitive open space. The campus contains approximately 35 buildings accounting for a little over 1 million gross square feet of space (excludes parking structures). The existing LRDP, approved by the Regents in 1995, anticipated approximately 1.8 million gross square feet of space through a horizon year of 2010, however little physical development has occurred on the Hillcrest Campus over the life of the current LRDP. Through this MPS and formalized through the LRDP the future development capacity will be further defined to provide a realistic framework to guide future growth. While this will be a collaborative effort, programmatic options and associated square footages will be developed and provided to the selected Consultant Team, however confirmation of space needs by the Consultant Team will be required. In addition, a focused Market and Economic Analysis is being prepared under a separate contract that will provide information relative to potential complementary land uses to be considered within the Hillcrest Campus planning area.

Senate Bill 1953 (SB 1953), passed in 1994, mandates that all acute care hospitals in California become compliant with the seismic safety provisions of the California Hospital Code (Title 22) by the year 2030. It has been determined that the UC San Diego Hillcrest Hospital will not achieve compliance with the 2030

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION 3 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO Hillcrest Campus LRDP

requirements. Thus a major planning consideration for the future of the Hillcrest Campus is the proposed replacement of the Hospital facility in addition to consideration of the potential reuse of the existing hospital buildings. Rebuilding of the Hospital for seismic safety was unknown and not considered in previous LRDPs. The City of San Diego is in the process of updating its Uptown Community Plan. Uptown contains some of the oldest and most distinct neighborhoods in San Diego consisting of Hillcrest, Mission Hills, Bankers Hill/Park West, University Heights, and Middletown. Hillcrest is the most diverse of the Uptown neighborhoods, containing more retail, office and mixed-use development and more varied residential character. The Hillcrest Campus is situated within the Hillcrest neighborhood that includes the primary commercial core of Uptown, which is concentrated around the intersection of Fifth Avenue and University Avenue, and extends several blocks east, west, and south. This area is a vibrant pedestrian-oriented commercial center, as well as the center of community-wide activity with lively, walkable streets, mixed-use buildings and retail, office, and entertainment activities. Although the University as a State entity is not subject to local land use controls, development of future plans for the Hillcrest Campus will need to appropriately integrate, where applicable, with the goals, objectives and urban design parameters identified in the Community Plan for the Hillcrest neighborhood. The Hillcrest Campus is located away from the local primary circulation network (Washington Street) and thus is accessed through what are predominately residential streets (First Avenue and Front Street). An important issue to be addressed through this planning effort is improved pedestrian, bicycle, vehicular and emergency access to the Hillcrest Campus that will need to be coordinated with the City of San Diego and local community; which will effective require outreach and collaboration. III. DESCRIPTION

UC San Diego seeks qualifications from professional, multi-disciplinary planning firms or teams (hereinafter referred to as the “Consultant Team”) to prepare a physical Master Planning Study and associated Long Range Development Plan and Environmental Impact Report for the Hillcrest Campus.

IV. SCOPE OF WORK

The following general scope of work is offered to describe the general extent of planning and design services to be provided by the Consultant Team. This outline is not necessarily all-inclusive and the Consultant Team should consider any tasks or services deemed necessary to satisfactorily complete the project. Consultants are encouraged to bring expertise gained from other projects, creative ideas tested elsewhere, and best practices applicable to this project. The Consultant Team will develop up to three (3) alternative master plan scenarios that will be narrowed to a preferred Master Planning Study, Long Range Development Plan and a programmatic Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Specific experience with academic medical centers is highly desirable as is a collaborative Consultant Team that brings cutting edge, forward thinking ideas in the areas of healthcare and transformational planning expertise.

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION 4 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO Hillcrest Campus LRDP

A. MASTER PLANNING STUDY (MPS). The purpose of the Hillcrest Campus MPS is to analyze the capacity for and the conceptual design of potential buildings and open space to inform the revision of the LRDP and would include the following tasks:

1) Existing Conditions Analysis - assess existing conditions of the Hillcrest Campus and identify features that may pose opportunities or constraints to design and development. Features to evaluate should include, but not be limited to, the area topography, view corridors, biology/vegetation, drainage and grade, circulation patterns, historical/cultural/archeological resources, parking locations and capacity, utility infrastructure and corridors, environmental and sustainability considerations (including carbon-neutrality mandates), and the character of the existing or planned development within and adjacent to the campus (including off-campus areas).

2) Healthcare Facility Programming – Based on input received from University staff, prepare building program space needs projections to meet UC Health’s forecasted patient volume and health care services delivery requirements. Some facilities may need to be developed in multiple phases.

3) Planning Workshop Facilitation – coordinate and facilitate periodic planning workshops attended by key University staff and stakeholders to develop, review and refine the alternative master plans.

4) Land Use Concepts - study land use concepts and layouts based on appropriate adjacencies for healthcare, academic and research needs, potential housing, parking, amenities, retail and restaurant, community-oriented wellness services, recreational and public open spaces and other supporting program elements to be further defined in the planning process.

5) Development Potential - Define and analyze potential development and redevelopment areas to determine the development capacity of the study area. Identify and define land use capacity of building parcels, infrastructure, and open spaces. The plan should accommodate the forecasted programmatic need identified by the University.

6) Open Space Framework – Develop a network of open spaces of adequate scale and design to provide relief from the built environment while providing human-scaled places for socialization, contemplation, and circulation. These include quads, plazas, courtyards, recreational spaces, and transitional spaces. Note that an Open Space Study was recently completed for the Hillcrest Campus and can be found here for reference (http://physicalplanning.ucsd.edu/plans/docs/2013-10-10%20UCSD%20Open%20Space%20Study%20Document.pdf)

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION 5 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO Hillcrest Campus LRDP

7) Circulation - Determine the circulation and access routes for pedestrians (conformance with The Americans with Disabilities Act), bicyclists, and vehicles (public, service, transit, and emergency). The circulation framework should be intuitive and encourage alternative transportation, walking and biking. Study access requirements and needs to critical hospital and medical facilities with emphasis on heightened patient experience.

8) Parking - Identify locations, initial design, capacity, and phasing of parking facilities (surface and structured) necessary to accommodate future program needs. Locate parking to minimize impacts to adjacent housing/community (massing, visual impact, noise and glare, and traffic) and maximize land utilization for medical and other revenue-generating uses.

9) Development Guidelines - Prepare development guidelines including, where necessary, parcel boundaries, building orientation and massing (with respect to pedestrian and service access, views, daylighting, open spaces, and other buildings and activity areas); location, size and function of entries; service areas; utilities and infrastructure. New development may include redevelopment, repurposing and/or currently undeveloped sites.

10) Development Phasing - Establish a phased develop and delivery plan for each master plan

alternative to allow for future development to meet identified programmatic need in a systematic way paying specific attention to the displacement of existing units/tenants. Phasing options should consider the advantages and disadvantages of necessary displacements (open space, parking, roadways, etc.). The plan should consider financial matters to ensure feasibility of implementation and cost effectiveness, given current funding challenges in the UC system. Rough order of magnitude cost estimates of master plan improvements to test the financial feasibility of proposed improvements will be required.

11) Neighborhood Identity - Develop an urban design approach that would create a distinct identity and sense of community for the Hillcrest Campus. Identify key characteristics and design features to enable the campus to develop as an enlivened and vibrant community for patients, staff, faculty, students, residents and visitors. Architecture and landscape architecture guidelines should be developed to reinforce this identity. Consistent wayfinding and signage should be addressed and coordinated with recent efforts at UC San Diego Health – La Jolla.

12) Architecture - Prepare design guidelines to address: a) compatible architectural character, b)

building height and mass, c) exterior building materials and colors, d) character of fenestration, especially at the pedestrian level, and e) treatment of accessory structures.

13) Landscape Guidelines - Develop a landscape concept for the Study area with associated design

guidelines regarding the plant materials palette, hardscape, and site furniture (i.e. seating, bicycle

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION 6 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO Hillcrest Campus LRDP

racks, locations of outdoor lighting fixtures, signage, etc.) for various types of open spaces. The landscape framework should provide a cohesive plant palette for the Hillcrest Campus with high attention being given to the use of recycled water and drought resistant design. Coordinate with all applicable, approved UC San Diego planning studies including the landscape, lighting, bicycle and signage studies.

14) Utilities and Infrastructure - Incorporate requirements for the relocation or expansion of existing

utility systems, and new utility corridors.

15) Sustainability – Provide feasible approaches that promote sustainable site, building orientation, materials, green infrastructure, alternative energy opportunities and building and circulation designs consistent with University of California Green Building policy, Climate Action Plan, and best practices for design of Healthcare and other institutional facilities.

16) Community Engagement – At the direction of University staff, attend and present master planning concept alternatives at community meetings, solicit input, and notate public input.

The final product will be a report document describing the plan concepts and design guidelines with text, tables, images and illustrations in sufficient detail to provide clear guidance to future consultants, architects, engineers and others involved in the development of individual projects within the Hillcrest Campus. B. LONG RANGE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (LRDP).

The University of California (UC) requires that each campus maintain a Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) to guide capital project development and project approvals. The process of periodically updating an LRDP provides an opportunity to make certain that physical plans remain solidly based on program goals and the overall strategic vision of the University. A LRDP is defined as a “physical development and land use plan to meet the institutional objectives for a particular campus or medical center of public higher education” (Public Resources Code of the State of California Section 21080.09). It is a “macro-level” comprehensive document that establishes general land use designations and relevant policies to guide implementation of capital projects and infrastructure to support its teaching, research, and public service mission. The physical plan developed through the MPS will provide the physical framework for development of the LRDP. The LRDP will impart those plan objectives into an overall land use policy document as required by the UC Regents to guide physical development of the Hillcrest Campus through a planning horizon year of 2035.

1) The Organization of an LRDP may vary, but it typically includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the following:

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION 7 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO Hillcrest Campus LRDP

• Historical perspective including historical plans for the campus. • Location, setting and relationship with the community. • Physical setting including:

o Existing environmental resources o Existing land uses o Condition of existing buildings o Existing landscape and open space o Existing circulation and transportation systems

• Summarized mission and vision for the campus. • Projected space needs including:

o Estimate of daily population (staff, patients, visitors, etc.) o Space needs for healthcare, clinical, academic and other support uses o Parking requirements

• The LRDP shows generally how and where space needs will be met on the site and contains the following major elements (as defined in more detail by the MPS):

o Land use and planning principles o Landscape and open space o Circulation and transportation o Utilities and infrastructure o Sustainability goals

More specific considerations to be incorporated into development of the LRDP include:

2) Engineering Studies. Development of LRDP and EIR will require supporting engineering studies that look at existing infrastructure and then evaluate infrastructure capacities and/or availability of resources needed to support proposed growth through the LRDP horizon year of 2035. A Master Utilities Study (electric, gas, sewer, potable water, storm water, reclaimed water, telecommunications, high temperature hot water, chilled water) will be provided to the Consultant Team. Other studies that will need to be provided include:

• Storm water/hydrology study • Geotechnical Report • Traffic • Other studies as identified

3) Climate Action Plan (CAP). The CAP is a set of strategies intended to guide efforts for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The CAP would develop the technical analysis and present the greenhouse gas reduction (GHG) strategies demonstrating how the proposed LRDP growth of the Hillcrest Campus would occur in compliance with State and UC policies and requirements (see here for more information: http://ucop.edu/sustainability/)

o Reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION 8 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO Hillcrest Campus LRDP

o Carbon neutral for scopes 1 (natural gas, campus fleet, fugitive) and 2 (purchased electricity) by 2025

o Carbon neutral for scope 3 (campus commute, business air travel) by 2035 Other sustainability mandates required by UC policy include:

o Green Building Policy o Zero Waste by 2020. o (The Consultant Team would prepare a Waste Management Plan to address this

mandate.).

4) Public/Community Outreach. Development of the LRDP and EIR will require a work plan strategy to ensure appropriate levels of community and public engagement in the planning process. Selected Consultant Team will be required to provide a public outreach strategy, working with UC San Diego to refine as necessary. It is envisioned that these outreach activities can include public workshops, forums, stakeholder meetings, surveys, public meetings, televised interviews, social media outreach, etc.,., including public meetings associated with the program EIR preparation. Several outreach meetings and public events are anticipated and the number will be determined mutually with the University and Consultant Team to successfully fulfill the objectives of this effort.

C. LRDP ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR)

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a program-level Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared to evaluate the environmental impacts of LRDP growth through horizon year 2035. The Consultant Team will be responsible for preparation of the EIR, Key expectations/objectives for the EIR include:

• Thorough understanding of state regulations and UC policies as applicable to the development of the program EIR;

• Development of a detailed work program and communications plan that demonstrates what needs to be done, and how the project schedule targets can be met;

• Preparation of an interim report to secure agreement on EIR format, draft project description and proposed significance thresholds;

• Preparation of high quality, well written, consistent technical reports and EIR sections that allow reviewers to focus on content during review cycles;

• Effective integration of resource studies prepared by others into the program EIR (as applicable); • Preparation of a programmatic EIR that will maximize tiering efficiencies for future Hillcrest

projects.

The Program EIR effort includes preparation and distribution of public notices, a public scoping meeting and public hearing, and consists of the following basic steps:

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATION 9 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO Hillcrest Campus LRDP

• Development of Initial Study to support the Notice of Preparation and inform the consultant scope of work.

• Scoping • Preparation of Technical studies (at a minimum, Air Quality/Health Risk Assessment, Biological

Resources, Cultural Resources, Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis and Reduction Strategy (synthesized from CAP), Hazardous Materials File Review, Noise, Paleontological Resources, Public Services, Socioeconomic Study, Traffic/Circulation with an emphasis on Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT).) as well as LOS, and Water Supply Assessment). (Also see engineering and sustainability studies above).

• Development of a Draft EIR and robust alternatives analysis. • Preparation/distribution of Notice of Completion and Public Hearing • Written responses to public comments • Development of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program • Preparation of a Final EIR (including legal Findings and Overriding Considerations if necessary)

As a State entity, UC San Diego is both the project sponsor and the lead agency under CEQA, and will provide oversight of the lead Environmental Consultant in the preparation of the EIR, including review of all draft products. In addition, UC Office the President staff, UC Office of General Counsel Attorneys will be involved in the review of environmental documents to ensure they are adequately prepared.

V. SCHEDULE
