SEISMIC RETROFIT OF THE CULTURAL CENTER AND
CITY HALL PROJECT NUMBER 4327
Background
The City has been active in identifying buildings and notifying property owners in the
downtown area of their buildings exposure to seismic damage. Two of the buildings
owned by the City, the Cultural Center (constructed in 1923) and City Hall (constructed
in 1934) are both constructed with unreinforced masonry. On August 29, 2008 CCS
Group Inc., completed the Seismic Vulnerability Assessment on both facilities. The
report examined construction methods and building conditions, building structural
vulnerabilities and associated hazards and risks, with recommendations and a cost
estimate for the buildings to be seismically retrofitted to meet today's building standards.
No structural drawings for either building were found therefore, a system will need to be
designed to resist seismic forces. The budget for design and construction is
$1,100,000.
Discussion
Request for Proposals for design of a seismic retrofit system was advertised on the City
website on February 4, 2011, with a closing date of March 8, 2011. This request asked
for fees based upon the seismic retrofit of both the Cultural Center and City Hall. The
scope of work for this project includes professional engineering and architectural
consultant services related to the seismic assessment and upgrade of the facilities; also
provide existing architectural floor and structural plans. A committee of City staff
reviewed the submitted proposals and reduced the list to three top architectural firms.

Seismic Retrofit of the Cultural Center and City Hall
Project Number 4327
Dear Mr. Ramey and Members of the Selection Committee:
We are pleased to submit the enclosed proposal and this letter as our expression of
410 kr Cypress Axe:
interest in providing Structural Engineering design and consulting services for the
86 rl~r nk, CA 915E31
seismic retrofit of the Lake Elsinore Cultural Center and City Hall. This submittal
presents an experienced team committed to competent design services delivered within
ft,8I V29'9777
X18.7;9,9779
your determined project budget and schedule.
r+'.elslio-oorn
Risha Engineering is collaborating with Melvyn Green and Associates to provide a team
that has an in-depth understanding of unreinforced masonry structures coupled with an
appreciation for historical buildings and their preservation. Furthermore, Melvyn Green
prepared a seismic strengthening cost study for the City Hall complex in June of 1988.
As such, he contributes a familiarity with the structures included in this work.
Risha Engineering has completed seismic retrofit designs for numerous unreinforced
masonry structures, such as:
• Power House 4 building at Paramount Pictures
• Cinespace, 6356 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood
• King King, 6555 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood
• Studio 34,141 W. Ave. 34, Los Angeles
When working on building renovation projects, Risha Engineering is very proficient in
providing efficient, flexible, and cost-effective solutions for extremely complex
engineering issues. For existing buildings, the work commissions typically address the
alteration to and/or the repair of parts or components of the existing structural
elements, affecting the building's structural system. This requires extensive knowledge
of building behavior and the ability to adapt new building components to older
construction materials and practices.

In addition, Janah Risha and Melvyn Green have collaborated on many unreinforced
projects, including:
• U.S. Mint Budding, Carson City, NV
• Leo Carrillo Ranch
• San Gabriel Mission
Risha Engineering in collaboration with Melvyn Green brings unparalleled knowledge
and experience to this project. We feel that our creativity and understanding of these
buildings will prove beneficial to the City of Lake Elsinore.
Should you have any questions or need further information to complete the technical or
cost proposal, please feel free to contact us. Thank you for considering Risha
Engineering for your project and we look forward to working with you.
