O Agenda Item: 9 1. CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AGENDA REPORT CONSENT CALENDAR CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: A,1 A11�44_1) DATE: September 27, 2022 SUBJECT: INCREASE CONTRACT EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR ON - CALL CEQA PLANNING SERVICES CONTRACTS DEPARTMENT: Community Development PRESENTER: Andy Olson RECOMMENDED ACTION City Council: 1. Authorize an expenditure authority increase to the City's current on -call California Environmental Quality Act consulting firms: Dudek, Michael Baker International, Inc., ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc., Envicom Corporation, and SWCA Environmental Consultants, for a not to exceed amount of $500,000 annually for each of the three remaining contract years, resulting in a total on -call expenditure authority amount of $2,500,000. 2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval. BACKGROUND On May 26, 2020, the City Council awarded on -call contracts to Dudek, Michael Baker International, Inc., ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc., Envicom Corporation, and SWCA Environmental Consultants, to provide on -call California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) services to the City of Santa Clarita (City). The Planning Division regularly manages development projects which require CEQA review, and these contracts were established to streamline the procurement process for these services. The five consulting firms were selected from a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process, earning the top scores of the 19 proposals submitted. The City Council originally authorized $500,000 in expenditure authority, to be distributed at the City's discretion to the five on -call consultants, for a period of three years with the option for two one-year extensions. In addition, on June 8, 2021, the City Council authorized a $500,000 increase in expenditure authority, for a total of $1,000,000 of expenditure authority over the life of the contract. Page 1 Packet Pg. 185 O The actual amount awarded to each firm is determined by the number and scope of contracted projects. All CEQA work performed under this contract for developer -submitted projects is paid for by the applicants as part of the standard development process. The selected firms may also be contracted to provide CEQA services for certain City capital improvement projects. The scope of services performed under the on -call CEQA contracts includes: • Preparation and peer review of technical reports and studies; • Preparation and peer review of environmental documents; • Mitigation monitoring and reporting services; and • Expert consultation and agency coordination. CONTRACT USAGE TO DATE The existing on -call CEQA service agreements have been successful, and in its two years, most of the allocated $1,000,000 has already been contracted. In addition, staff has streamlined the contract process for multiple development projects and two significant City capital improvement projects through these on -call contracts. Table 1 identifies these projects.

Any project requiring an EIR continues to go through a project -specific RFP process, and the EIR contract is awarded by the City Council. Page 2 Packet Pg. 186 O Over the next three remaining contract years (now until May 2025), staff anticipates that a substantial number of additional development projects will require CEQA services. As shown in Table 2, there are several development projects already submitted to Planning and undergoing the entitlement process which are expected to require CEQA review in the coming months alone. Table 2 — Future Projects Potentially Utilizing As -Needed CEQA Services Contract Fiscal Year I Project Submitted Develo meat Projects Under Planning Review with Potential CEQA 2022/23 Soledad Mixed -Use Project Peer Review/Class 32 Exemption 2022/23 Flying Tiger Affordable Housing Initial Stud 2022/23 Vista Canyon Specific Plan Update 2022/23 Tesoro Mitigation Monitoring 2022/23 Golden Valley Gas Station 2022/23 Wildwood Canyon 3-lot TPM 2022/23 1 Sand Canyon Villas 20-Unit Multifamily 2022/23 1 Santa Clarita Plaza Mixed Use REQUEST FOR INCREASED SPENDING AUTHORITY Due to the high volume of development and City projects requiring CEQA services since these on -call contracts were established, these funds have largely been contracted. In order to continue to streamline the contracting process and provide the high level of service expected of the City, staff is requesting an additional $500,000 of spending authority per contract year be granted for these contracts. This increase would be distributed at the City's discretion to the five contracted consultants, for a total of up to $2,500,000 of spending authority for all projects and consultants. ALTERNATIVE ACTION Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT All costs associated with on -call environmental services, including but not limited to the preparation of environmental documents, will be the responsibility of the applicant for each development project requiring CEQA review. Any capital improvement project requiring CEQA review is separately budgeted by the City Council.

CONSIDERATION OF AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 20-3 TO ALLOW THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES TEMPORARY PROHIBITION ON EVICTIONS OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL TENANTS ARISING FROM FINANCIAL IMPACTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND RENT PAYBACK PROVISIONS TO SUPERSEDE THE CITY' S ORDINANCE - On March 31, 2020 the City Council adopted an urgency ordinance providing certain eviction protection for residential and commercial tenants as a result of financial impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously the County of Los Angeles had issued an order providing similar protection for tenants in the unincorporated portions of the County. Since that time, the County has twice amended their order, increasing the rent payback period from 6 to 12 months, extending the eviction moratorium period to June 30, clarifying that the commercial tenant protection applies to small businesses, and extending the applicability of the order to those cities in the County that do not have their own eviction moratorium. This ordinance would rescind the City's prior ordinance, thereby making landlords and tenants in the City subject to the same rules and protections as those in the rest of the County, including any amendments to the order that the County may adopt in the future. RECOMMENDED ACTION: City Council introduce, waive further reading and adopt an urgency ordinance via a 4/5 vote of the City Council entitled, "AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 20-3 TO ALLOW THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES TEMPORARY PROHIBITION ON EVICTIONS OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL TENANTS ARISING FROM FINANCIAL IMPACTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND RENT PAYBACK PROVISIONS TO SUPERSEDE THE CITY' S ORDINANCE" and find that the recommended action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines per Section 15061(b)(3), the General Rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment. Page 5 11. CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA REVISING THE SCHEDULE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS SET FORTH IN THE RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO SWITCH TO ELECTION BY DISTRICTS BASED UPON THE MAY 13 EXTENSION OF THE COUNTY SAFER AT HOME ORDER - On March 19, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 20-7 declaring its intention to switch to election by districts and setting forth a hearing schedule based upon the requirements of Elections Code section 10010. On April 28, the City Council amended the hearing schedule based upon the County of Los Angeles' extension of the Safer at Home Order to May 15. The County has now extended the Safer at Home order indefinitely, indicating the new order is meant to implement Stage 2 of the County's Roadmap to Recovery Program. Presumably the County will next revise the order to accommodate Stage 3, but the timing of future amendments is uncertain. The current order does not allow for physical, in person gatherings of large numbers of members of the public at City Council meetings. The attached resolution will amend the hearing schedule again, with a first hearing on June 1, 2020. If the County has not revised its order to allow for attendance by large numbers of the public at Council meetings by May 29, the City Manager is directed to cancel the first two hearings, and the Alternate Schedule, which begins June 5, will be operative. If the County has not revised its order by noon on June 4, the City Manager is directed to cancel the first two hearings on the Alternate Schedule and agendize consideration of further schedule changes for the Council's June 9, 2020, regular meeting. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council consider adoption of a resolution of the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita revising the schedule of public hearings set forth in the resolution of intention to switch to election by districts based upon the May 13 extension of the Los Angeles County Safer at Home Order. The resolution would adopt an expedited schedule to be completed before June 30, starting on June 1. The resolution would also direct the City Manager to postpone the hearings to the attached Alternate Schedule (which would commence June 5) in the event that the County Health Officer indicates in -person attendance of large numbers of the public at City Council meetings is not permitted prior to close of business on Friday, May 29. The resolution would also direct the City Manager to cancel the first two public hearings on the Alternate Schedule if the County Health Officer had not revised the Order to allow for in -person attendance of large numbers of the public at City Council meetings prior to noon on June 4, 2020. In that instance staff would agendize further consideration of the schedule of hearings by the Council at the Council's June 9, 2020 regular meeting. Page 6 12. DISCUSSION OF RECENT LETTER TO LOS ANGELES COUNTY AND MEETING WITH SUPERVISOR BARGER RELATED TO THE COVID-19 CRISIS AND REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OR EXEMPTION - At the May 12, 2020, City Council Meeting, the City Council requested a letter from the Mayor be distributed to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, followed by a meeting among a committee of the Council and City Manager with Supervisor Barger, to request a variance for communities located in the North County region. This agenda item is for the City Council to review and discuss the letter and written response from Supervisor Barger and the details of the meeting, and provide any necessary direction to staff. RECOMMENDED ACTION: City Council: Review and discuss the written responses from Supervisor Barger received on Friday, May 15, and the details of the meeting with Supervisor Barger on Thursday, May 21, related to the City's request for a variance within the Los Angeles County order to be more in alignment with the State's order or potentially request an exemption from the State. 2. Discuss ongoing impacts to both short and long-term planning for City programming and events. 3. Provide any necessary direction to staff. PUBLIC HEARINGS 13. ADJUST CONSOLIDATED FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT DEVELOPER FEE - Consolidated Fire Protection District developer fees pay for the cost of fire stations, related fire protection improvements, and fire apparatuses. The resolution would adjust developer fees by $0.0474 per square foot for fire protection facilities in keeping with the latest Los Angeles County Development Fee Schedule adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and required under the Developer Fee Detailed Fire Station Plan. RECOMMENDED ACTION: City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution to adjust the Consolidated Fire Protection District developer fee from $1.2357 per square foot to $1.2831 per square foot in accordance with the Developer Fee Agreement between the City of Santa Clarita and the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County.

BACKGROUND The City of Santa Clarita (City) Planning Division anticipates submittal of several development projects over the next few years which will require preparation of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documents. CEQA documents are prepared by a qualified vendor, with applicants paying for the preparation of the documents, and the City overseeing the contracts. Currently, the Planning Division establishes individual contracts for environmental reviews on a project -by -project basis. Due to the volume of expected CEQA documents, the City conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to solicit proposals from qualified consulting firms. These firms will provide the City with as -needed CEQA services and support the Planning Division in compliance with, and implementation of, CEQA requirements. Having pre -qualified firms selected through this competitive process streamlines the contracting process. Page 1 Packet Pg. 72 O Individual task orders will be issued on a project -by -project basis under an as -needed or "on - call" contract. The scope of services will include: • Preparation and peer review of technical reports and studies • Preparation and peer review of environmental documents • Mitigation monitoring and reporting services • Expert consultation and agency coordination The value of the proposed as -needed contracts is up to $500,000 collectively over a period of three years, with the option of two one-year extensions. The actual amount will be determined by the number and scope of projects. All CEQA work performed under a contract for developer - submitted projects would be paid by applicants during the development process. The RFP was published via PlanetBids on January 16, 2020. The RFP was downloaded by 76 companies, and 19 proposals were received for the City's consideration. The proposals were reviewed and evaluated based on each company's ability to meet the specific needs of the City. Each proposal was scored according to four categories: • Contractor qualifications to provide services described in the Scope of Work • Experience on similar projects • Thoroughness of proposal, approach to providing sound services, including Program Management and Quality Assurance/Quality Control, and ability to provide services to meet objectives and standards • Project manager and team's ability to complete scope of services, including adequate technical expertise and workload capacity The selected firms may also be contracted to provide CEQA services for City Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. Any future City CIP project would provide separate funding for environmental review. Use of these contracts would allow staff to expedite priority City projects through the use of pre -qualified consultants. A panel of City staff members evaluated and scored the 19 responsive proposals based on the criteria above. Scores were given on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best possible score. The results are below: Rank Firm Score Location 1 Dudek 4.735 Pasadena, CA 2 Michael Baker International, Inc. 4.7 Long Beach, CA 3 ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc. 4.375 Los Angeles, CA 4 Envicom Corporation 4.175 Westlake Village, CA 5 SWCA Environmental Consultants 4.175 Pasadena, CA 6 Chambers Group 3.875 Glendale, CA 7 Psomas 3.8 Pasadena, CA 8 Aspen Environmental Group 3.625 Agoura Hills, CA 9 CSG Consultants, Inc. 3.575 Oran e, CA 10 EcoTierra Consulting, Inc. 3.5 Los Angeles, CA Page 2 Packet Pg. 73 O Rank Firm Score Location 11 EPD Solutions, Inc. 3.35 Irvine, CA 12 T&B Planning, Inc. 3.35 Irvine, CA 13 U1traS stems Environmental, Inc. 3.35 Irvine, CA 14 CAJA Environmental Services, LLC 3.25 Van Nuys, CA 15 MIG, Inc 3 Riverside, CA 16 VCS Environmental 2.925 San Juan Capistrano, CA 17 HANA Resources, Inc. 2.825 Lake Forest, CA 18 Wildsca e Restoration, Inc. 2 Ventura, CA 19 1 Jennings Environmental, LLC 1.775 Yucaipa, CA Based on the quality of the comprehensive proposals, prior CEQA experience, technical expertise, experience with similar projects, and references, staff recommends the following firms as the most qualified to provide on -call CEQA consulting services: • Dudek • Michael Baker International, Inc. • ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc. • Envicom Corporation • SWCA Environmental Consultants The RFP and the proposals submitted by the recommended firms are available in the City Clerk's Reading File.

Page 9 CERTIFICATION On June 3, 2021, I, Mary Cusick, do hereby certify that I am the duly appointed and qualified City Clerk for the City of Santa Clarita and that the foregoing agenda was posted at City Hall. Mary Cusick City Clerk Santa Clarita, California Page 10 O Agenda Item: 6 CITY OF SANTA CLARITA 0 AGENDA REPORT CONSENT CALENDARAl CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: )U1 V DATE: June 8, 2021 SUBJECT: INCREASE CONTRACT EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR ON - CALL CEQA PLANNING SERVICES CONTRACTS DEPARTMENT: Community Development PRESENTER: Andy Olson RECOMMENDED ACTION City Council: Authorize an expenditure authority increase in the amount of $500,000, for a total amount not to exceed $1,000,000, for on -call California Environmental Quality Act services with the following consulting firms: Dudek, Michael Baker International, Inc., ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc., Envicom Corporation, and SWCA Environmental Consultants. 2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval. BACKGROUND The City of Santa Clarita (City) Planning Division regularly receives submittals of development projects that require preparation of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documents to be prepared by a qualified vendor, with applicants paying for the preparation of the documents and the City overseeing the contracts. Due to the volume of expected CEQA documents, staff determined that this process would be better managed and streamlined by securing pre -qualified, on -call CEQA planning consultants. These firms would provide the City with as -needed CEQA services and support the Planning Division in compliance with, and implementation of, CEQA requirements. On May 26, 2020, the City Council awarded contracts to Dudek, Michael Baker International, Inc., ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc., Envicom Corporation, and SWCA Environmental Consultants to provide on -call CEQA services to the City. These five consulting firms were selected from a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process, earning the top scores of the 19 proposals submitted. Page 1 Packet Pg. 32 O The City Council authorized $500,000 in expenditure authority, to be distributed at the City's discretion to the five contracted consultants, for a period of three years with the option for two one-year extensions. The actual amount awarded to each firm is determined by the number and scope of contracted projects. All CEQA work performed under this contract for developer - submitted projects is paid for by the applicants as part of the standard development process. The selected firms may also be contracted to provide CEQA services for certain Capital Improvement Projects. The scope of services performed under the on -call CEQA contracts includes: • Preparation and peer review of technical reports and studies; • Preparation and peer review of environmental documents; • Mitigation monitoring and reporting services; and • Expert consultation and agency coordination. Contract Usage To Date The existing as -needed CEQA services contract has been successful, and in its first year, the majority of the allocated $500,000 has already been contracted. Staff has used these contracts to streamline multiple development projects. In addition, two significant City projects have been expedited through the use of this contract: the West Creek Park Playground and the Central Park Buildout. Table 1 identifies these projects. Table 1— Projects Utilizing As -Needed CEQA Services Contract Completed Projects MetroWalk Specific Plan — Sustainable Communities (CEQA completed) Environmental Assessment (SCEA) Golden Triangle multi -family development — Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) In -Progress Projects Needham Ranch — Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting (formal CEQA review (MMRP) underway) Family Promise — Notice of Exemption (NOE) Proposed gas station at 18717 Soledad Canyon Road — IS Proposed gas station at Vista Canyon Road and Soledad Canyon Road — IS 4-lot subdivision in Sand Canyon — IS Canyon Country Energy Storage Project — NOE City Capital Improvements West Creek Park Playground — National Environmental Projects Policy Act Categorical Exclusion (formal CEQA review underway) Central Park Buildout Project — IS/MND Page 2 Packet Pg. 33 O Projects requiring Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) are not reviewed under this contract. Any project requiring an EIR continues to go through a project -specific RFP process, and the EIR contract is awarded by the City Council. Over the next year, staff anticipates that a substantial number of additional development projects, including those shown in Table 2, will likely require CEQA services under this contract. Table 2 — Future Projects Potentially Utilizing As -Needed CEQA Services Contract Submitted Projects (CEQA anticipated but not initiated) Sand Canyon Villas multi -family project Bouquet Canyon Plaza mixed -use project Santa Clarita Commerce Center industrial project I Ph Street mixed -use project 14th Street mixed -use project Potential Future Projects (not formally submitted) Needham Ranch Phase 2 MMRP & Addendum The Master's University Addendum Request For Increased Spending Authority As described above, the original as -needed CEQA services contracts totaled $500,000, to be distributed at the City's discretion to the five contracted consultants. Due to the high volume of development and City projects requiring CEQA services in the last year, these funds have largely been expended. In order to continue to streamline the contracting process and provide the high level of service expected of the City, staff is requesting an additional $500,000 of spending authority be granted for these contracts. This increase would be distributed at the City's discretion to the five contracted consultants, for a total of up to $1,000,000 of spending authority for all projects and consultants. The contracted consultants were selected via a rigorous and competitive RFP process. However, to further ensure fair pricing and evaluation of projects, staff requests bids from at least two of the pre -qualified consultants for any projects anticipated to cost more than $50,000. Upon expenditure of this increased spending authority, staff would return to the City Council for consideration of future CEQA services, in accordance with the City's Purchasing Policy in place at the time, including the potential for a new RFP. This increase in expenditure authority does not alter the contract period. The original contract was awarded on May 26, 2020, and will expire on May 25, 2023. ALTERNATIVE ACTION Other action as determined by the City Council. Page 3 Packet Pg. 34 O FISCAL IMPACT All costs associated with on -call environmental services, including but not limited to the preparation of environmental documents, will be the responsibility of the applicant for each development project requiring CEQA review. Any Capital Improvement Project project requiring CEQA review is separately budgeted by the City Council.

PROPOSAL # PL-19-20-14 On -Call Environmental Planning Services Page 2 Qualifications CEQA/NEPA Environmental Document Expertise Dudek environmental planners have processed more than 2,800 documents pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and/or the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), including many complex, controversial projects in environmentally constrained areas. Dudek planners have expertise conducting technical peer reviews and in the preparation of a wide range of environmental documents, including initial studies (ISs), negative declarations (NDs), mitigated negative declarations (MNDs), categorical exemptions, and complex environmental impact reports (EIRs), environmental assessments (EAs), and environmental impact statements (EISs). From permitting California's first large seawater desalination plant to environmental planning for desert wind/solar energy farms, Dudek planners and CEQA/NEPA experts have successfully tackled the most challenging projects associated with public works, land development, transportation, urban campuses, energy, and hospitals. Dudek team members have an extensive knowledge of CEQA and NEPA regulations and guidelines and regularly attend and run workshops and seminars to understand the latest in case law and application of these statutes. The Dudek team is highly skilled at crafting legally defensible CEQA/NEPA documentation by collecting thorough data, applying in-depth project analysis, carefully and proactively addressing challenges, and producing clear, objective, and accurate documents. For this reason, no legal challenge to a Dudek -prepared CEQA/NEPA document has ever been successful. Dudek is also familiar with and has direct experience with NEPA policies and guidelines for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, California Coastal Commission, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), California Regional Water Quality Control Board, California Department of Transportation, South Coast Air Quality Management District, Southern California Association of Governments, Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment and Modeling Dudek has more than 30 years' experience in environmental and regulatory fields in California. We have evaluated air quality and health risk for a variety of projects such as public works; residential, commercial, mixed -use, and industrial land uses; oil and gas; transportation; and renewable energy located throughout California. Analyses involved air emissions inventories (e.g., criteria, toxic air contaminants and greenhouse gases [GHGs]) using federally and state - recommended models such as the California Emissions Estimator Model, EMFAC, OFFROAD; air dispersion modeling such as ISC and AERMOD; and cancer and non -cancer risk assessments. Dudek Team Advantage • Experience working on a variety of projects, including industrial, mixed -use, commercial, and residential • Extensive work evaluating emissions inventory all types of development projects PROPOSAL # PL-19-20-14 On -Call Environmental Planning Services Page 3 DUDEK Dudek has also done extensive work evaluating GHG emissions inventories for public works, commercial, residential, and mixed -use developments. This involved developing GHG inventories for various aspects of development activities (i.e., construction, operation, energy consumption, mobile sources, vegetation change, and municipal sources), summarizing the current state of science and regulatory settings, presenting mitigation options, and evaluating the significance of the impact of development emissions with respect to the guidance provided in the CEQA Air Quality Handbook. Experience also includes determining whether projects would generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment based on consistency with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions. Cultural Resources Dudek's cultural resources team includes numerous archaeological, built environment, and paleontological specialists who understand the need for a consultant to provide a broad range of cultural resources services throughout the Southern California region. Dudek cultural resources managers and fieldwork teams are capable of addressing any size project investigation throughout the state. These specialists are experienced, permitted, and qualified for all planned cultural resources work. We have demonstrated success working for special districts, including public works departments, water agencies, sanitary districts, and municipalities throughout California. Our archaeological site identification and boundary delineation is accomplished using Trimble GPS receivers, iPads/iPhones, and cloud data management. Cultural resources are recorded during surveys, evaluations, and monitoring on multiple data management platforms, including tablet computers that allow lead agencies to be alerted to relevant discoveries in real time. These state-of- the-art tools reduce field and lab costs by as much as 30% and increase the accuracy and reliability of cultural resource documentation. They are designed to work with any standardized geographic information system (GIS), including the National Parks Service's Cultural Resources GIS standards and guidelines. Dudek senior archaeologists, architectural historians, and paleontologists hold the necessary permits to conduct cultural resources investigations on federal and state lands and are listed as qualified consultants on local agency lists throughout California. Our cultural resource project managers are familiar with variations in lead agency cultural resource guidelines and the way they may dictate variations in ground survey transect spacing, test excavation protocols, and report preparation. Cultural Resources Capabilities • Constraints/feasibility analyses • Literature overviews and archival research • Predictive modeling • Field inventories • Archaeological investigations • Paleontological investigations • Significance and eligibility evaluations and data recovery • Monitoring and compliance oversight mitigation • Historical and built environment inventories, evaluations, and treatment • Landscape studies • Native American consultation and ethnography • Preservation planning • Custom GIS-based data management applications • NHPA Section 106 documentation PROPOSAL # PL-19-20-14 On -Call Environmental Planning Services Page 4 DUDEK Our cultural resources team also has experience nominating historical resources to the National Register of Historic Places and California Register of Historical Resources, including cultural resource districts and cultural landscapes. This includes carrying out significance assessment excavations and preparing nomination forms based on the resulting data in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106 Guidelines and local agency guidelines. Dudek staff have successfully completed dozens of historic preservation survey reports, findings of effect, determinations of eligibility, and memoranda of agreement to help our clients comply with federal and state regulatory agency oversight. Dudek is familiar with the required reporting standards for heritage resource inventories, evaluation, mitigation, data recovery, project implementation, and monitoring. Standard report components will include results of the literature searches, sensitivity assessments, methodology, and results of field efforts. These reports contain vicinity, project location, inventory coverage, previous coverage, site -structure location, and isolate data maps. Resource -specific treatment, documentation, and cultural and historic contexts will be included as appropriate. Archaeology and Tribal Consultation Our experienced registered professional archaeologists can cost-effectively respond to the smallest cultural resource survey while also assembling a crew of a dozen or more seasoned field technicians to address a large- scale surface reconnaissance, significance assessment excavation, or a mitigation data recovery program. The Dudek cultural resources team has prehistoric and historic archaeologists with a variety of specialties, including bio-archaeological and forensic archaeological experts. Our specialists complete in-house analyses of food remains collected from archaeological excavations. They also can immediately determine if bone encountered during archaeological excavations or construction activities is human or animal. This expertise is critical for efficient compliance with state and federal regulations. Our team also has a strong background in Native American consultation, including expert testimony experience regarding the adequacy of tribal consultation and outreach, as well as the appropriate treatment of resources regarded as sensitive or sacred by Native Californian tribes and individuals. Dudek cultural resource managers focus on early and ongoing outreach strategies to capture meaningful consultation as stipulated by federal law under Section 106 of the NHPA and recently codified in Assembly Bill 52. Our cultural resources team will coordinate with native Californian groups to collect data from the Native American Heritage Commission Sacred Lands File, gather archaeological site information, and identify traditional cultural properties and plant -gathering locations through outreach with tribal representatives and individuals identified by the Native American Heritage Commission. We complete ethnographic research using primary sources such as individual interviews and oral histories, as well as respected secondary sources. Our team is expert at researching and recording prehistoric sites considered sacred to local Native American tribes. Our team also has extensive experience guiding lead agencies through the Assembly Bill 52 and Senate Bill (SB) 18 tribal consultation processes. Built Environment Architectural history or built environment background research is a primary component of all cultural resources investigations, overlapping other sub -disciplines, including archaeology, ethnology, and architectural history. Our team's architectural historians provide quick assessments of significance, integrating our understanding of the NHPA and State Historic Preservation Office requirements. Our specialists have completed numerous Department of Parks and Recreation 523 building forms, historic resources inventory forms, historic American buildings surveys, historic American engineering records, and historic American landscapes surveys. We work regularly with experienced photographers on historic American buildings survey -level documentation and archival photography. In addition, our architectural history experts develop restoration plans to address impacts to structural historical resources consistent with Secretary of the Interior Standards. PROPOSAL # PL-19-20-14 On -Call Environmental Planning Services Page 5 DUDEK Paleontology The Dudek team includes paleontologists who complete paleontological resource assessments, field surveys, construction site monitoring, and in -field significance evaluations of fossil finds. We have experience working under a wide variety of paleontological assessment and mitigation protocols, including local, county, and state guidelines (most commonly, the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology guidelines) as well as federal agency assessment protocols. Our staff have experience preparing pre -project paleontological resource assessments under a wide variety of agency guidelines and regulations (e.g., paleontological inventory reports, evaluation reports, and resource management plans), and routinely write paleontological analyses for CEQA/NEPA documents. Noise Analysis As part of the environmental analysis and reporting process, Dudek Dudek Team Advantage assesses the noise and vibration impacts associated with . Knowledge of FHWA noise models implementation of each proposed project. Typically, existing noise . Noise mitigation expertise conditions in the project area are quantified based on noise measurements and available existing documentation (e.g., recent general plan updates, general plan amendments, and prior projects in the area). Short-term measurements (generally 15-20 minutes duration) and/or long-term measurements (continuous 24 hours or more) are conducted at representative noise -sensitive locations. Often, the predominant existing and future noise source is traffic along nearby freeways, highways, or major arterial roadways. Traffic noise is modeled using traffic data provided by the traffic consultant or local transportation agency for existing and future with and without project scenarios. The most recent version of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approved Traffic Noise Model Version 2.5 is used for traffic noise assessments. Rail noise/vibration or other noise or vibration sources are modeled, if relevant, using the appropriate noise model or technique (e.g., Federal Transit Administration Noise and Vibration Handbook). Construction noise impacts are often calculated using the FHWA Road Construction Noise Model or other documented guidance on construction noise levels. The significance of noise impacts from the project and any alternative scenarios are compared and assessed based upon local (city and/or county), state, and federal standards. Potential impacts to existing and planned sensitive uses are quantified and mitigation measures (if necessary) are recommended. Mitigation may include limitation of construction hours, sound barriers, etc. The results of the analysis are detailed in a noise and vibration technical report, a noise memorandum, or as the noise section in the project's environmental report. Transportation Planning and Impact Assessment Fehr & Peers and its experts are recognized leaders in sustainable transportation planning. Fehr & Peers was the only transportation consultant on the SB 375 Regional Targets Advisory Committee that created recommendations for travel demand modeling and measuring GHG emissions and reduction strategies. The helped prepare the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association report titled Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures: A Resource for Local Government to Assess Emission Reductions from Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures.

Permitting and Regulatory Process Dudek consistently secures development permits, agreements, and approvals from state, federal, regional, and local agencies and other relevant agencies, groups, and entities with jurisdiction in a project region. Our success stems directly from the relationships and reputation we have fostered with the regulatory agencies throughout California. Dudek provides reliable, scientifically based information within permit application packages tailored to address the specific requirements and standards of the relevant agency. Our knowledge of the applicable regulations, combined with our specific experience with the standards and processes of each particular agency and agency staff, enable us to prepare comprehensive and easily accessible submittals. We provide knowledge about needed information, verify that the information is complete and accessible, and foresee potential issues so we can help prepare for any potentialities. Our first priority in pursuing regulatory permits is to develop a clearly defined project description that considers project environmental ramifications. Utilizing environmental data collected according to the most current regulations and federal and state guidance, we prepare impact analyses using GIS software and quality -control procedures that produce accurate, reliable results. Dudek has extensive experience evaluating options such as a nationwide permit versus an individual permit, a streambed alteration agreement versus a master streambed alteration agreement, Section 7 versus Section 10, and/or 2080.1 versus 2081. We have Coordinated Hundreds of Projects with: • ACOE • Caltrans • CDFW • RWQCB • SCAQMD • EPA • USFWS Completed Dozens of Projects in Cooperation with: • BLM • Bureau of Reclamation • USFS • USGS Have Expertise with: • California Fish and Game Code • California Native Plant Act • City/county tree ordinances • Clean Water Act • Endangered Species Acts • Migratory Bird Treaty Act • Porter -Cologne Act PROPOSAL # PL-19-20-14 On -Call Environmental Planning Services Page 7 DUDEK Pre -Application Consultation One of the keys to achieving resource agency concurrence on the project and expedited permit issuance is a successful pre -application consultation with relevant agencies. A pre -application consultation allows the City of Santa Clarita (City) to present the proposed project to agency staff so that they understand the nature of the project and its importance, as well as any proposed avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures. The pre -application consultation also allows agencies' initial concerns to be addressed up front in the CEQA/NEPA document and permit application package. Dudek will support the City in any capacity during the agency consultation process and understands that the City will normally lead the coordination efforts. Through our many consultations with regulatory agencies, we have found that it is necessary to receive some acknowledgment regarding what is said and by whom. This protects all parties, in particular the City, when negotiations and verbal agreements take place. Therefore, Dudek recommends, and typically prepares, detailed meeting minutes that are distributed to meeting attendees so that they are agreed upon and can be referenced throughout the process to help prevent surprises and expedite the permits. Natural Resource Assessment/Resource Constraints Expertise Dudek's strength in the area of natural resource assessment derives from Dudek Team Advantage the breadth and depth of our staff. Our federally and state -permitted . Immediate emergency response biologists have completed hundreds of biological surveys and natural . In-house focused survey permits resource assessments on projects ranging from half -acre parcels to more . Cost-effective, state-of-the-art than 28,000 acres within all habitat types in the state. Dudek has in-depth field equipment and innovative and extensive experience with plant and animal sensitive species surveys survey techniques and inventories, wildlife trapping, habitat characterization and mapping, . Pragmatic approach to resource habitat suitability analysis, and federally and state -listed threatened and inventories and evaluations endangered species throughout Southern California. As such, Dudek can be immediately responsive and have the right staff in the field to allow a high level of accuracy and recognize subtle, often important, potential resource constraints that may not be apparent throughout the year. Dudek continually invests in the up-to-date field equipment needed to conduct species studies, including high - quality digital game cameras, GPS equipment, radio -tracking equipment, and detection equipment and software. Dudek has also developed application -type data sheet formats to use with iPhones and iPads. When appropriate, we also use fiber-optic cameras to search burrows for burrowing animals; conduct trail -dragging, hair sampling, sooted box traps, and other studies for wildlife tracking surveys; and carry out corridor and wildlife movement studies using remote camera stations and computer modeling (least -cost and circuit -modeling). Dudek has also been at the forefront regarding the implementation of drone technologies for commercial real -world biological and cultural analysis.

PROPOSAL # PL-19-20-14 On -Call Environmental Planning Services Page 8 DUDEK During all phases of the natural resource assessment process, Dudek utilizes a tested, streamlined, and cost- effective approach. Prior to fieldwork, our biologists review available information on biological resources that occur near a project site to focus field surveys on the occurrence of special -status species. This information includes U.S. Geological Survey maps; a query and review of the California Natural Diversity Database; other information available through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, and CDFW; and other sources, as appropriate. Pre -field work activities also include checking maps for topographic coverage and reviewing National Wetland Inventory maps for potential occurrence of waters of the United States, including wetlands and streams subject to CDFW jurisdiction. Our biologists will conduct a field survey of a project site and its immediate vicinity to evaluate the information generated during the records review. During all field surveys, we utilize scientifically accepted (and when state and/or federally listed species are potentially present, agency -approved) survey and assessment protocols for species. Habitat assessments include characterizing the potential of a particular area to support special -status plant and animal species and sensitive resource areas. In particular, habitats appropriate for federally and state -listed threatened and endangered plant and wildlife species and other special -status species are identified. The survey is also used to determine the suitability of the site to support avian species protected by provisions of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, and the California Fish and Game Code. We also conduct reconnaissance -level assessments of jurisdictional waterways, which include detailed habitat mapping of the project area where jurisdictional wetlands potentially occur. Finally, Dudek has decades of experience compiling all types of natural resource data; evaluating the proposed projects or activity; and determining the applicable resource constraints and the alternatives, avoidance and minimization measures, and potential mitigation requirements. Our staff are adept at synthesizing and distilling this information so that engineers, planners, and management can make informed decisions about how a project should be proposed and what the likely implications are for the approval process. We do this by presenting clear graphics; developing well -written, concise constraints analyses; and leveraging our real -world experience to develop realistic costs and schedules for various alternatives. Effective resource constraints planning is instrumental in avoiding project delays and cost overruns during the life of the project. Flora Our team has the ability to identify, describe, classify, and assess vegetation communities and habitat types, environmental conditions, and the potential for special -status species to occur in identified habitats.

Fehr & Peers have an implementation approach that will allow the City to meet the State's July 1, 2020 adoption deadline. As part of the process, Fehr & Peers is using the regional SCAG model to estimate 2012 and 2040 household generated automobile VMT per capita estimates for each Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) in the City. After establishing a methodology to estimate project VMT, Fehr & Peers will help to update Santa Clarita's traffic study guidelines to incorporate the process in compliance with latest CEQA guidelines. PROPOSAL # PL-19-20-14 On -Call Environmental Planning Services Page 22 DUDEK LA Zoo Vision Plan EIR Client: City of Los Angeles, Bureau of Engineering Contract Dates: September 2018 to Ongoing Fehr & Peers is preparing the transportation analysis for the Los Angeles Zoo Vision Plan, a long-term comprehensive plan, encompassing physical growth, enhancement of the attractions and visitor services, and growth in attendance. The transportation analysis is taking a deep dive into historic zoo attendance, membership, and operations to develop an empiric understanding of on -site trip generation, trip distribution, and visitor trip origins, with unique analyses for both employees and visitors. Fehr & Peers developed and oversaw extensive visitor, employee, and transit -rider surveys to supplement the historic data analyzed. Fehr & Peers is working closely with the project consultant team to refine the visitor growth projections and assumptions for use in the transportation analysis. The EIR for this project is one of the first to be analyzed using the LADOT's new Transportation Analysis Guidelines and vehicle -miles -traveled -based impact thresholds - and with the Zoo as a unique generator, Fehr & Peers has used their deep understanding of the TAG to develop the right VMT and site - access and circulation analysis approach for the project. Fehr & Peers is coordinating with stakeholders that include transit agencies, LA City Parks & Recreation, LA City Planning, and the LA River team to ensure that future transportation options to the Zoo are robust, multimodal, and coordinated with other nearby City improvements. Infill and Complete Streets - Capturing VMT Impacts and Benefits to CEQA Client: City of Los Angeles, Department of Urban Planning Contract Dates: October 2019 to Ongoing The City of Los Angeles is shifting from an auto -oriented metropolis to a city built around transit, compact transit - oriented development, and multi -modal "Complete Streets" which emphasize all travel modes. However, these dynamic policy shifts have been significantly impeded by requirements under CEQA to mitigate automobile delay. The City wants to seize the historic opportunity, mandated by SIB 743, to realign the environmental review processes with policies that support infill development and Complete Streets transportation projects. Fehr & Peers was selected to work closely with the LADCP and LADOT to develop new VMT-based CEQA thresholds and to update the tools necessary to implement the new procedures. In addition to developing the new thresholds, Fehr & Peers is updating and calibrating the City's travel demand model; this aspect includes incorporating mobile source "Big Data" into the trip distribution validation to improve VMT estimation and rebuilding the transit route system using General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data from major transit operators. A key component of the study is developing a sketch model tool to perform project -level VMT analysis; this effort includes quantifying local vehicle trip generation for mixed -use projects, creative office buildings, market rate housing, and affordable housing to assist in calibrating the sketch model tool to Los Angeles conditions, incorporating MXD concepts to reflect the effect of the built environment, transit proximity, and area demographics on urban trip generation, and incorporating quantification of effectiveness of transportation demand management (TDM) strategies to reduce project VMT. The affordable housing sites are broken down based on population (senior, family, special needs, permanent supportive) and location (inside or outside a transit priority area). Finally, Fehr & Peers is developing materials to educate city staff, private developers, transportation practitioners, and the community about the new impact review methodology. PROPOSAL # PL-19-20-14 On -Call Environmental Planning Services Page 23 DUDEK West Hollywood Citywide Traffic and Mobility Study Client: City of West Hollywood Contract Dates: June 2017 to Ongoing Fehr & Peers is leading a team to assist the City of West Hollywood. Key tasks include the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program, Physical Roadway Improvements, and Traffic Impact Fee Program, which all have unique challenges. The Fehr & Peers team is helping the City navigate through this process to emerge with solutions serve the City's goals and the changing needs of land use development and people traveling in the City. For the TDM program, the Fehr & Peers -led team is using extensive team expertise along with the best available data and input from stakeholders to tailor strategies and solutions that are likely to be most effective in West Hollywood. The use of "Big Data" in evaluating the travel markets for each of the five commercial districts is a critical element in understanding the needs of the districts. Fehr & Peers is developing a model that goes beyond the traditional highway -focused travel demand models to provide enhanced capabilities in such areas as smart growth, GHG emissions, transit operations, and alternative modes such as walking and bicycling. We have developed innovative techniques that allow travel behavior models to capture the interactions between neighborhood -scale land use characteristics and travel patterns. This is based on research and tool development in the areas of state-of-the-art travel demand modeling, travel demand management effectiveness, VMT estimation, and mixed -use trip generation considering the effects of the built environment. The study also includes a Physical Roadway Improvements section, where the City will be able to test and evaluate a variety of options including physical improvements, policies and programs that are aimed at improving multimodal mobility in the City of West Hollywood. As part of this task, Fehr & Peers is evaluating the current and future roadway infrastructure needs based on the local and regional 2040 land use/SED forecasts. A series of performance metrics is being developed to measure the effects of multi -modal improvements, along with the development of a framework for an annual transportation performance report card that can be updated and used beyond the life of this project. An essential element of this task is coordination with City of West Hollywood staff and the City Council during key points of the process. We are also updating the City of West Hollywood's Transportation Impact Fee Program, which will: • Provide funding for circulation element improvements necessary to support the land use element of the General Plan • Ensure that new development is paying a "reasonable" fair share of circulation element network expansion • Engage the residential and commercial development community to build support for the impact fees • Obtain consensus from elected officials in support of the impact fees • Develop a defensible nexus analysis • Minimize potential financial disincentives caused by impact fees on affordable housing • Minimize potential financial disincentives caused by impact fees on desired land uses that can help minimize longer distance travel • Leverage impact fees to increase state and federal funding PROPOSAL # PL-19-20-14 On -Call Environmental Planning Services Page 24 References The required references form is uploaded in Planet Bids.

The study included an analysis of the collision history on the corridor, travel patterns using Big Data, and intersection delay. Recommendations were provided in several time buckets based on ease of implementation and identified need at certain locations by City staff. Fehr & Peers also analyzed the expected safety benefits using data from FHWA's Crash Modification Factors Clearinghouse, and the potential for changes to vehicle travel through adjacent neighborhoods. Capturing VMT Impacts and Benefits to CEQA The City of Los Angeles is shifting from an auto -oriented metropolis to a city built around transit, compact transit -oriented development, and multi -modal "Complete Streets" which emphasize all travel modes. However, these dynamic policy shifts have been significantly impeded by requirements under CEQA to mitigate automobile delay. The City wants to seize the historic opportunity, mandated by SB 743, to realign the environmental review processes with policies that support infill development and Complete Streets transportation projects. Fehr & Peers was selected to work closely with the LADCP and LADOT to develop new VMT-based CEQA thresholds and to update the tools necessary to implement the new procedures. In addition to developing the new thresholds, Fehr & Peers is updating the City's travel demand model and developing a sketch model tool to perform project -level VMT analysis; quantifying the parking demand and vehicle trip reduction benefits for mixed -use projects, creative office buildings, market rate housing, and affordable housing, and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies. The affordable housing sites are broken down based on population (senior, family, special needs, permanent supportive) and location (inside or outside a transit priority area). Fehr & Peers is educating city staff, private developers, and the community about the new impact review methodology through an engaging public outreach program. -T� EDUCATION Master of Science, Transportation Planning and Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds/UK,1999 Bachelor of Engineering, Mechanical and Process Engineering, University of Sheffield, Sheffield/UK,1996 REGISTRATIONS American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) /_\IIIII_\11111NLG9 American Planning Association (APA) FEHR,� PEERS John Muggridge, mcP Associate ABOUT John Muggridge, AICP has over 19 years of experience in transportation planning and engineering, both in England and in the United States.

John has worked with interdisciplinary teams to develop consensus on a wide range of transportation improvements. He has extensive experience in transportation analyses in the City of West Hollywood, including several mixed -use projects on Sunset Boulevard and elsewhere, as well as familiarity with the City's traffic model. I2Yo)lX42EWl» 11a0tog LA Zoo Vision Plan EIR Fehr & Peers is preparing the transportation analysis for the Los Angeles Zoo Vision Plan, a long-term comprehensive plan, encompassing physical growth, enhancement of the attractions and visitor services, and growth in attendance. The transportation analysis is taking a deep dive into historic zoo attendance, membership, and operations to develop an empiric understanding of on -site trip generation, trip distribution, and visitor trip origins, with unique analyses for both employees and visitors. Fehr & Peers developed and oversaw extensive visitor, employee, and transit - rider surveys to supplement the historic data analyzed. Fehr & Peers is working closely with the project consultant team to refine the visitor growth projections and assumptions for use in the transportation analysis. LAX Model Development and Specific Plan Amendment Study Draft EIR Fehr & Peers performed a comprehensive transportation analysis for the LAX Specific Plan Amendment Study (SPAS). Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) developed the LAX Master Plan to provide a strategic framework for future development of the airport. The SPAS process was intended to identify potential alternative designs, technologies and configurations for the LAX Master Plan program. The off -airport surface transportation analysis for the SPAS alternatives addresses traffic -related impacts outside the airport, including arterial roads, highway segments and ramps that serve traffic approaching and departing the airport environs. Fehr & Peers developed a sub -area travel demand model based on the SCAG regional travel model. The travel model produced traffic forecasts that provide the basis for assessing and solving operational traffic impacts associated with the SPAS. Project alternatives along with the associated increase in annual passengers were analyzed. A total of 200 intersections and over 45 regional freeway segments/ramps intersections across 10 jurisdictions were included in the study, providing a complete analysis of conditions in this dense urban environment. Mitigation measures were developed for all impacted locations where feasible, including physical improvements, traffic operational solutions and expansion the airport transportation demand management program. The effectiveness of various mitigation measures identified for the SPAS alternatives were evaluated. Fehr & Peers has been involved in the agency coordination and the public outreach process during the course of the study. John is Principal -in -Charge. West Hollywood Citywide Traffic and Mobility Study Fehr & Peers is leading a team to assist the City of West Hollywood. Key tasks include the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program, Physical Roadway Improvements, and Traffic Impact Fee Program, which all have unique challenges and the Fehr & Peers team is helping the City navigate through this process and emerge with solutions that work to achieve the City's goals and serve the changing needs of land use development and the travelers we all serve. For the TDM program, the Fehr & Peers team used extensive team expertise along with the best available data and input from stakeholders to tailor strategies and solutions that are likely to be most effective in West Hollywood. The use of "Big Data" in evaluating the travel markets for each of the five commercial districts is a critical element in understanding the needs of the districts. Central City/Central City North Community Plan EIR As part of a team, Fehr & Peers is conducting a transportation analysis for the Central City/Central City North Community Plan EIR for the City of Los Angeles. This includes an existing conditions analysis and evaluating future conditions using a locally refined version of the City's travel demand model, which Fehr & Peers developed. We are reviewing options for metrics for impact analysis, specifically in the downtown area. Then the future Community Plan scenarios are being analyzed with possible transportation network improvements, changes to land use, and changes to households and employment. Transportation mitigation measures could include the City's 2035 Mobility Plan, also prepared by Fehr & Peers, and tailored refinements for the Central City and Central City North communities. Fehr & Peers is responsible for the preparation of the Transportation section of the EIR for the Plan update. John Muggridge is the Principal in Charge of the project. Temple City General Plan Fehr & Peers worked on the General Plan Update for Temple City. The first part of the project involved the preparation of new goals and policies for the Circulation Element. The update included the latest direction from the state regarding the need to address Complete Streets and multi -modal transportation as specified in AB 1358. This reflected the City's recent efforts towards management of the transportation system as evidenced by the Traffic Calming Master Plan and the Parking Master Plan. The Circulation Element also reflected the City's goals of promoting bicycle and pedestrian travel. Fehr & Peers then prepared a Transportation Study to assess the impacts associated with the General Plan land use for inclusion in the Environmental Impact Report. John Muggridge served as the Principal in Charge. Expo Corridor Transit Neighborhood Plans Fehr & Peers served the City of LA in their "Transit Neighborhood Planning" for 10 future light rail stations along the Crenshaw and Expo lines. The project included new land use and streetscape regulations, general plan amendments, and specific plans for five of the stations. Our approach to trip generation, parking demand estimation, and transportation evaluation was informed by the City's new and innovative approaches to transportation evaluation contained in the LA213 update to the circulation element. Fehr & Peers' combination of experience with market based private development impact analysis and our citywide efforts on the Mobility Element came together to meet the City's desire to incentivize an appropriate mix and density of land uses, foster economic development, improve ridership, provide and maintain affordable housing, and enhance the quality of the built environment. Pasadena General Plan Update & Travel Demand Model Development Fehr & Peers developed a travel demand model for the City of Pasadena to be used as a tool in the evaluation of Land Use and Mobility Element land use scenarios and transportation system alternatives. The model provides the ability to evaluate transportation system network and modal alternatives, and to assess various performance indicators for land use and transportation, including vehicle miles travelled. Fehr & Peers prepared the transportation impact analysis for the general plan update EIR. John served as Project Manager. EDUCATION Bachelor of Science, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo REGISTRATIONS Licensed Traffic Engineer, State of California (#2213) PRESENTATIONS Measuring the Miles: CEQA Changes with SB 743 in Los Angeles, CA, Association of Environmental Planners, 2017 FEHR,� PEERS Sarah Brandenberg, PE Principal ABOUT Sarah Brandenberg has over 15 years of experience with Fehr & Peers and is a licensed Traffic Engineer. Sarah served as the Operations Manager of the Los Angeles office for seven years, and is currently the Regional Principal -in -Charge of Southern California. Sarah has managed a variety of complex studies, such as transportation impact studies, EIR transportation sections, transportation planning studies, and corridor studies focused on roadway operations, transit and active transportation. Key projects include the City of Los Angeles Mobility Plan 2035 EIR, Beverly Hills On -Call Transportation Services, Westside Mobility Plan, Marina del Rey Mobility Plan, and Hollywood Community Plan Update. Sarah's ability to work closely with clients, complete a high -quality technical analysis, and clearly communicate study findings have been and will continue to be critical to project success. PROJECT EXPERIENCE Santa Clarita SB 743 Implementation Fehr & Peers is assisting the City of Santa Clarita with SB 743 Implementation. We will provide knowledge and insight that will allow the City to be well prepared for a transition to Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) as its primary transportation impact metric for CEQA analysis, marrying the State's objectives to encourage transportation - efficient development with the City's own goals and objectives. Because we have the data and materials prepared related to VMT methodology options, VMT thresholds, and the latest information regarding VMT mitigation, Fehr & Peers is able to wholly support the City. We have also anticipated the critical questions that the City and its stakeholders will have, and we are knowledgeable on relevant plans and policies already in place. We have an implementation approach that will allow the City to meet the State's July 1, 2020 adoption deadline. As part of the process, Fehr & Peers used the regional SCAG model to estimate 2012 and 2040 household generated automobile VMT per capita estimates for each Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) in the City. After establishing a methodology to estimate project VMT, Fehr & Peers will help to update Santa Clarita's traffic study guidelines to incorporate the process in compliance with latest CEQA guidelines. Beverly Hills On -Call Engineering Support Fehr & Peers, with Sarah as the Project Manager, has served as the on -call transportation consultants for over 10 years. We have assisted by reviewing and providing recommendations regarding traffic -related concerns submitted by residents and business owners and provided support to City staff. We also prepared plan check comments for several temporary traffic control plans associated with minor encroachment permit work and very complex utility relocation work associated with the Metro Westside Subway Project. Transportation Impact Analysis in Beverly Hills Fehr & Peers has extensive experience preparing traffic studies, traffic circulation plans, analysis of access and circulation for land uses, and intersection and street improvement plans in Beverly Hills. Since 2012, Sarah has lead the following traffic studies in the City: • 121 Spaulding Drive Transportation Assessment • 401 S. Robertson Transportation Assessment • 9265 Burton Way Transportation Assessment • 301 N. Rodeo Drive Transportation Assessment • 8767 Wilshire Boulevard Site Access Study • One Beverly Hills EIR Transportation Impact Study • 9908 S. Santa Monica Boulevard EIR Transportation Impact Study • Beverly Hills Garden and Open Space Initiative Traffic Assessment • Beverly Hills Media Center EIR Transportation Impact Study • 9200 Wilshire Boulevard EIR Transportation Impact Study • Beverly Hilton Revitalization EIR Transportation Impact Study The majority of these studies have required our participation in the public hearing and project approval process, such as Traffic and Parking Commission, Planning Commission and City Council hearings. Sarah has worked closely with City staff for many years to ensure that technical questions regarding transportation and traffic impacts are thoroughly addressed as projects are being considered for approval and implementation. Mobility 2035, City of LA Mobility Element Fehr & Peers, with Sarah as the EIR project manager, led a team to update the General Plan Mobility Element for the City of Los Angeles. From a selection of alternative approaches, the City chose to implement a multimodal layered -network with a context sensitive overlay to update its street classification system. Fehr & Peers used its previous work on the LA Street Classification and Benchmarking System study to develop concepts for a layered network and create new street standards. Through an extensive social media campaign and a series of meetings and workshops, Fehr & Peers framed the conversation in terms of transportation choices, where options and tradeoffs are clearly defined to reflect both aspirational goals and the constraints of conditions on the ground. Throughout the project, our team performed outreach and branding related to public engagement for the Mobility Element (called LA213). In Phase 2 of the Mobility Plan update, Fehr & Peers led the team to prepare the technical analysis and EIR required for plan adoption. The City's Travel Demand Model, developed by our team, was used to develop non-traditional performance measures to quantify the benefits of the City's new layered network. As part of this effort, our team geo-coded all of the planned and pending transportation improvement projects in the City that can be used by staff going forward. LA213 created a new vision for mobility in the City of LA and provide the environmental clearance needed for implementation. Westside Mobility Plan, City of Los Angeles Fehr & Peers, with Sarah as the Project Manager, led a multi- disciplinary team to develop a long-term comprehensive Mobility Plan for the Westside of the City of Los Angeles, California. The study included six major components: development of a state-of- the-art travel demand model; a mobility and rail connectivity study including the potential for north/south rail transit connections from the LAX area through the Westside and integration of transit, highway, bicycle and pedestrian modes; a comprehensive Westside parking study, updates to the Coastal Transportation Corridor and the West Los Angeles Transportation Specific Plans (including trip fee nexus studies for each); and a livable boulevards study addressing the integration of urban design/streetscape and transportation planning. The study included a substantial public outreach program to engage the community throughout the process. The Westside Mobility Plan blueprint is intended to serve as a catalyst for future action to improve transportation on the Westside. Wilmington EMPOWER Mobility & Action Plan, City of Los Angeles Fehr & Peers, with Sarah as the Project Manager, led the Wilmington EMPOWER study. EMPOWER combined community input and our team's technical expertise to identify mobility challenges and opportunities for the Wilmington area. A comprehensive Mobility Plan to serve the community through 2035 along with an Action Plan outlining six to eight near -term transportation improvements was developed by our team. A comprehensive public outreach effort was formulated to engage the community in the study and gather input through an on-line MetroQuest survey. The outreach activities provided an overview of the study and gathered input from the community on various mobility topics, such as transit, bicyclists and pedestrians, trip reduction strategies and roadway infrastructure. We also developed an EMPOWER website to increase project exposure and expand access to the residential and business surveys. All public outreach materials were created in both English and Spanish. Fehr & Peers developed an informational brochure on traveling in the Wilmington area with useful and practical tips on using active modes of transportation and transit to reduce environmental impacts through personal mobility decisions.

These projects demonstrate our CEQA skills on a variety of project sizes and types in both urban and more rural locations. River Walk Mixed -Use Phase I Project Lead Agency City of Santa Clarita; Client: Chandler Partners, Inc. Project Summary and Envicom Role: In 2019, Envicom prepared technical studies to support CEQA impact analysis for the proposed River Walk Mixed -Use Phase I project located at 18300 Soledad Canyon Road in the City of Santa Clarita. The project was located in the Solemint area of the City along the Santa Clara River between Sierra Highway and the Antelope Valley Freeway (California State Route 14). As urban infill, the project proposed to re -develop an approximately 5.4-acre vacant site formerly operated as a mobile home park. The project proposed 136 multi -family residential units, a 2-story 7,996-square foot commercial office building, a 1,852-square foot recreation room, and 272 parking stalls. Envicom prepared technical studies including the Air Quality Study, Biological Resources Survey, Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis, Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment, and Noise Study to assess impacts. The Air Quality Study quantified construction and operational emissions of criteria pollutants regulated by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), showing that project emissions would be below applicable thresholds of significance, including localized significance thresholds, for sensitive receptors. The Biological Resources survey included an assessment of sensitive wildlife and vegetation communities, riparian habitat, and potential jurisdictional habitat and wetland areas. The Greenhouse Gas Emissions analysis quantified emissions of greenhouse gasses in metric tons of COz equivalent emissions and showed that GHG Emissions would be below the SCAQMD threshold and consistent with the City of Santa Clarita Climate Action Plan (CAP). The Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment included South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) and Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) records searches, an on -site pedestrian surface assessment of the property, and paleontological assessment for fossil resource sensitivity. The Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment specified a discovery protocol in the event archaeological resources or human remains were inadvertently encountered during project ground disturbing activities. The Noise and Vibration Study identified and evaluated construction and operational impacts under applicable thresholds, including the Noise Element of the Santa Clarita General Plan, the City Noise Ordinance (Santa Clarita Municipal Code Section 11.44), and applicable vibration thresholds from federal and State Agencies. The Noise Study specified recommendations for reducing the impact of groundbome vibration from heavy equipment, such as large bulldozers, compactors, or equivalent equipment, to below applicable thresholds for human response.

Aerially Deposited Lead (ADL) Survey and Site Investigation (SI), City of Palmdale Lead Agency: City of Palmdale; Client: Parsons Transportation Group, Inc. Leighton completed an aerially deposited lead (ADL) survey and hazardous materials site investigation (SI) for the proposed California State Route 138 Improvements Project from 5tn Street East to IOth Street East in Palmdale, California. The work was conducted along the project alignment and on properties that would be acquired by Caltrans and/or the City of Palmdale. Leighton completed the ADL survey and SI to identify hazardous waste where present along the project alignment, and to develop waste management procedures to dispose of construction debris generated during improvements. Additionally, the ADL survey and SI provided information to establish health and safety procedures for workers that may encounter hazardous waste soil and/or construction debris. The results of the ADL survey and SI identified several areas that require additional investigative efforts in order to characterize contaminant impact along the project alignment and proposed property acquisitions. Efforts recommended in the Leighton March 2019 ADL and SI report for this project include but are not limited to advancement of soil borings and soil sampling to assess the lateral and vertical extent of lead, arsenic, TPH, and VOCs present in soil for suitability as non -hazardous or California -hazardous waste for disposal. Recommendations for surface/shallow perched groundwater sampling for VOCs, additional soil borings for adherence to the Caltrans-approved workplan, and soil borings for assessment of select properties with historical USTs were also provided. This work included agency coordination between the City of Palmdale and Caltrans. Phase H Soil Investigations and Remediation, Harvest at Limoneira Development Lead Agency: Department of Toxic Substances Control; Client: Lewis Management Corporation Leighton completed multiple site investigations under Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) oversight between October 2015 and October 2016 to assess the presence of OCPs, lead, and TPH in soil adjacent to and beneath residential and agricultural buildings located at the 468-acre Harvest at Limoneira development in Santa Paula, CA. The investigations identified elevated concentrations of OCPs (primarily chlordane), lead, and TPH as diesel that exceeded residential regulatory screening levels in soil surrounding STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS ON -CALL ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING SERVICES 21 1. RESPONSE TO RFP and/or beneath the buildings. A Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) was completed to identify risks to future residential occupants at the site. The HHRA indicated that the site would be safe for residential occupation after the soil affected by the abovementioned contaminants was excavated and properly disposed offsite. Remedial activities conducted at the site resulted in the removal and disposal of approximately 5,734 tons of non -hazardous waste soil at Chiquita Canyon Landfill in Castaic, CA, and approximately 380 tons of California -hazardous waste soil at Clean Harbors Buttonwillow Landfill in Buttonwillow, CA. An April 12, 2017 Preliminary Environmental Assessment (PEA) report was submitted by Leighton to the DTSC, and their review of the PEA resulted in a May 17, 2017 issuance of a No Further Action approval letter. Leighton demonstrates their experience in Phase II ESA, Remediation Oversight, Remedial Action Work Plans, and Risk Assessments. On -Call Environmental Services for Los Angeles County, Chief Executive Office Lead Agency and Client: Los Angeles County Chief Executive Officer Soil and groundwater affected by petroleum hydrocarbons associated with a former diesel underground UST leak were discovered during an investigation in 1992. Leighton directed the installation and sampling of groundwater monitoring wells to assess effects to groundwater and light non -aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) that was detected in two groundwater monitoring wells. Because of the sensitive nature of the property use as a juvenile hall and budgetary restrictions, the operation of a dual phase extraction (DPE) system was not considered a cost effective remedial approach. In an effort to meet the cleanup goals required by the Los Angeles RWQCB and the expectations of the client, in 2010, Leighton implemented a twice weekly LNAPL removal program in an effort to reduce LNAPL detected in the two wells. In February 2011, the twice weekly LNAPL removal program transitioned into the utilization of hydrophobic filter socks, alongside monthly gauging and manual LNAPL removal due to a decrease in LNAPL levels. In June 2014, Leighton began a monthly LNAPL removal program utilizing vacuum truck extraction at the site in an effort to enhance LNAPL recovery. Hydrophobic filter socks were placed in the wells between monthly removal events. After negotiating with the Los Angeles RWQCB, site closure was granted in 2018. Leighton demonstrates their experience in Phase II ESA, Site Closure, and agency coordination. Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Lead Agency: City of Los Angeles; Client: The Georgetown Company Citadel was contacted by The Georgetown Company to perform a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of the Herald Examiner Building in the City of Los Angeles, California, to evaluate the presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products that have been discharged into the property's structure, ground, groundwater, or surface water. The Phase I ESA focused on general site conditions, visible evidence of previously disposed and/or currently present hazardous waste, surface contamination, underground and above ground storage tanks (USTs/ASTs), suspect polychlorinated bisphenols, and other potential environmental hazards. Citadel conducted a visual survey of the adjacent properties and the immediate vicinity to determine if any nearby sites posed a significant environmental threat; reviewed currently and readily available documents of known STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS ON -CALL ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING SERVICES 22 1. RESPONSE TO RFP hazardous waste sites; consulted with appropriate governmental agencies having jurisdiction relative to past history of the property and permits that may have been issued; and prepared a Phase I report, inclusive of findings and recommendations. Citadel recommended properly abandoning or removing the USTs located near the sidewalk area of the Site. The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) was the lead enforcement agency of USTs within the City of Los Angeles and should be consulted prior to any activities regarding the USTs. Citadel also recommended a Limited Soil Gas Survey to assess whether the subsurface has been impacted by vapor intrusion concerns from neighboring properties. Air Quality Monitoring Lead Agency: City of Inglewood; Client: Turner Construction Citadel was contacted by Turner Construction Company to provide air quality monitoring services at Hollywood Park, in Inglewood, California. The scope of work involves providing air quality monitoring services to conduct Particulate Matter 10 (PM 10) fence line air monitoring at the site to monitor for fugitive dust, in accordance with South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 403. Citadel obtained the necessary monitoring devices and peripherals as required for the project that include Dust Trak Aerosol monitors for PM 10 monitoring, security enclosures for Dust Trak monitors, a Netronix datalogger, and a solar panel. Citadel also assessed the site conditions for the set-up monitoring devices. Citadel has been performing PM 10 concentrations continuously since April 2017. The monitoring has been continuous and recorded in five-minute intervals at one upwind location and four downwind locations. The Dust Trak monitors are pre-set to alarm at 150 microgram/cubic centimeters based on a one -hour average PM 10 concentration in order to provide sufficient warning for on -site construction managers or supervisors to implement corrective measures. The calculated 24-hour rolling average PM 10 concentration, as determined to be the difference between the upwind and downwind stations, cannot exceed the SCAQMD Rule 403 standard of 50 micrograms/cubic centimeters. The equipment is inspected bi-weekly to ensure proper working conditions. Citadel provides an air quality report every month. Landfill Gas Monitoring Well Installation & Monitoring Lead Agency and Client: Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Citadel was contracted by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works to install two landfill gas (LFG) monitoring wells at the County owned portion of the Former Cogen Landfill Facility in Monterey Park, California. The County has conducted soil gas monitoring activities at the former Cogen Landfill since 2013. Since monitoring began, methane concentrations have typically fluctuated from month to month with persistently elevated concentrations recorded specifically in the monitoring locations in the south- western section of the Site along the southern portion of the steep hillside. A site -specific health and safety plan (HASP) was prepared prior to on -site activities. The HASP identified existing and potential hazards for workers at the Site during well installation activities. Citadel contacted a utility locating services contractor to mark subsurface utility lines as well as other subsurface conduits such as fiber optic lines in the near vicinity of the proposed soil borings. The purpose of the contracted subsurface assessment was to identify potential anomalies not associated with known utility lines. Under the direction of Citadel, a drilling company installed two LFG monitoring wells. These monitoring wells were completed with triple nested methane gas wells. Soils were logged by Citadel personnel under the supervision of a California Professional Geologist in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS ON -CALL ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING SERVICES 23 1. RESPONSE TO RFP System. Soil cuttings generated from each boring was temporarily stored onsite in Department of Transportation (DOT) rated 55-gallon drums for disposal. Citadel collected initial monthly soil gas readings from the monitoring wells. The soil gas readings were collected using a portable landfill gas monitor. In accordance with the IS/MND and approved County Work Plan, Citadel recommended monthly readings of the wells, as well as continued monitoring of surface locations within the northern portion of the County -Owner landfill area.

Schedule and Budget Responsiveness/Competitive Pricing Envicom Corporation has consistently demonstrated our ability to complete work products in highly constrained time periods. While virtually all our projects have a measure of criticality to the timeline, we have successfully completed and ensured the certification of numerous environmental assessments that were subject to critical financial or legal deadlines. Envicom Corporation is sensitive to the need to establish a reasonable budget for each project, and to responsibly manage the budget. Our ability to manage completion of a CEQA document within budget is predicated on, 1) establishing a budget that is based on clearly stated assumptions, commensurate levels of effort, and a competitive fee schedule, and 2) proactive management of staff and subconsultants. Envicom project managers routinely coordinate with lead agency staff regarding project details and assumptions, consult our staff on the level of effort included within proposals, and provide detailed expectations on the hours allocated when delegating each task. Ouality Assurance and Ouality Control Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) programs are designed to make sure that all elements of a work program and related work products meet client expectations and regulatory requirements. Envicom begins by carefully selecting the staffing for each project. A project manager with relevant experience and the appropriate level of expertise for the project is assigned to manage the work program, project consultant team, budget and schedule.

The project was located in a headwaters area of a significant coastal watershed. Mr. Anderson delineated an on -site reach of a perennial stream as well as several golf course ponds, ephemeral drainages, and detention basins located within and along the perimeter of the existing golf course. As the project was within the Coastal Zone, Mr. Anderson also delineated wetlands as defined by the Coastal Act. Mr. Anderson then prepared an impact analysis including mitigation measures for jurisdictional streams and wetlands, which was incorporated into the project's CEQA Environmental Impact Report. The Malibu Institute Project included a plan to restore the golf course ponds, which included de -watering, drying, and removing sediment and vegetation at the ponds to restore habitat and water quality by eradicating invasive animals and removing toxins in bottom sediment. Mr. Anderson prepared mitigation measures that addressed the restoration of disturbed habitats as well as the potential for impacts to wildlife, including a resident population of "special -status" western pond turtles. 01V1COM CORPORATION Canyon Oaks Project, City of Calabasas Mr. Anderson prepared a functional wetland assessment for the Canyon Oaks Project following the California Rapid Assessment Method (CRAM). The proposed project involved the development of residential, commercial, and public open space/trail uses on an undeveloped 77-acre site. The site contained a stream and three spring/seep wetlands under jurisdiction of the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Mr. Anderson evaluated and scored the condition of the stream and wetlands based on attributes of landscape context, hydrology, physical structure, and biotic structure. The functional value of each of the wetlands was then ranked on a continuum ranging from full ecological integrity to highly -degraded. Stressors were also identified that could account for low ecological function. The CRAM analysis was prepared to inform regulatory agency permitting and mitigation planning, and to provide a basis for comparing the functional value of impacted wetlands to the mitigation sites that would compensate for their loss. Tuna Canyon Equestrian Boarding and Training Facility Project, County of Los Angeles Mr. Anderson prepared a biological assessment per the requirements of the Santa Monica Mountains Local Coastal Program (LCP) for a 7-acre property located in upper Tuna Canyon. The property had been partially developed into an equestrian boarding and training facility for which a Coastal Development Permit was being pursued. The entire property had been subject to vegetation management over many years, but still contained small stands of native oak trees, disturbed areas of chaparral, and a headwaters stream, which supported riparian habitat. Mr. Anderson searched the property for rare, threatened, and endangered plant and wildlife species, special habitats, and sensitive natural communities, and also evaluated the importance of the site for wildlife movement. A detailed site -specific map of the LCP's resource -based categories was prepared (i.e., Hl, H2, H2 High -scrutiny, and H3 Habitats) for comparison to the Los Angeles County's baseline LCP Biological Resources Map. As the facilities had already been developed, the biological study also included an assessment of the prior biological conditions of the property based on a review of historical aerial imagery for key years relevant to an impact analysis. Cornerstone Mixed -Use Project, City of Agoura Hills Mr. Anderson prepared a biological resources technical study for the Cornerstone Mixed -Use Project in the City of Agoura Hills. The project consisted of a mixed -use development including office space, retail, and residential uses on an 8-acre site in the City's Agoura Village Specific Plan area. Following a literature review, Mr. Anderson performed a field survey to inventory the biological resources at the site, with particular attention to the presence or absence of special -status plants, wildlife and habitats. The site was also evaluated for its importance for wildlife movement. Mr. Anderson also performed botanical surveys of the property to identify, map, and census the rare plants at the site. Following the field surveys and after documenting the biological resources found at the site, Mr. Anderson prepared an impact analysis relying on the programmatic -level CEQA impact analysis and mitigation measures of the Agoura Village Specific Plan EIR. PAR PCH vs. State of California, City of Malihu Mr. Anderson conducted a biological investigation for the PAR PCH v. State of California court case, a claim that State infrastructure caused an erosional feature that damaged a private property located south of Pacific Coast Highway in the City of Malibu. Mr. Anderson surveyed the site and mapped the geographic extent of on -site vegetation, drainages, and sensitive Environmental Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHAs), distinguishing between relatively pristine and disturbed habitats. Mr. Anderson also provided an opinion as to whether the subject property contained ESHA, as defined in the City of Malibu Local Coastal Program. 01V1COM CORPORATION Sweetwater Mesa Residential Development Project, County of Los Angeles Mr. Anderson prepared a Biological Assessment and Impact Analysis pursuant to Santa Monica Mountain Local Coastal Program (LCP) requirements for the Sweetwater Mesa Residential Development Project. The project was located in the Malibu area of the Coastal Zone of the Santa Monica Mountains. The project consisted of the development of five single-family residences and associated improvements, installation of an approximately 7,800-foot domestic waterline, and construction of a long private access road. Mr. Anderson conducted field surveys to establish the existing condition of the biological resources at the site, which included rare plant surveys and preparation of detailed habitat maps per the specific habitat designations of the Santa Monica Mountains LCP, as well as the State Vegetation Classification system. Mr. Anderson worked closely with California Coastal Commission (CCC) staff in the interpretation of sensitive habitat designations of what at the time was a newly passed LCP. The project site was highly constrained to development by several factors, including biological resources. Mr. Anderson worked with the project team and CCC staff through several iterations of the project, ultimately resulting in a project that was approved by the CCC. Lake Sherwood Carlisle Inlet Parcel "A" Restoration Project, County of Ventura As a County -approved biologist, Mr. Anderson prepared an Initial Study Biological Assessment (ISBA) for a shoreline restoration project in the unincorporated community of Lake Sherwood in Ventura County. The project involved grading and reshaping a lakeshore parcel and re -vegetating the graded areas with native species to give the parcel a more natural lakeshore appearance. The purpose of the ISBA was to gather sufficient information about the biological resources at the site and surrounding area to determine whether the project could have a significant effect on the environment pursuant to CEQA. Mr. Anderson conducted field surveys and in coordination with Envicom GIS staff prepared a series of maps and an impact analysis. As it was determined that the project had potential to substantially affect sensitive wildlife and jurisdictional wetlands, waters, and riparian habitats, such as the lake and marsh vegetation along the lakeshore, Mr. Anderson also drafted recommended mitigation measures of the Ventura County Planning Division that would avoid and minimize the impacts. The Park at Ladyface Mountain Senior Apartments Project, City of Agoura Hills Mr. Anderson prepared a biological resources inventory and a delineation of jurisdictional streams and wetlands for the Park at Ladyface Mountain Senior Apartments Project in the City of Agoura Hills. The project consisted of a 46-unit apartment complex on an undeveloped 7.1-acre parcel in the City's Ladyface Mountain Specific Plan area. Mr. Anderson conducted field investigations to identify and map the biological resources at the site, which included special - status plants, wildlife, and habitats, as well as a seasonal wetland and three natural streams. The wetland and streams were delineated per standard definitions and protocols of the Army Corps of Engineers, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The seasonal wetland, which formed each year at the base of a roadway embankment, was determined to be a man -induced wetland, as opposed to a naturally occurring wetland or a sensitive vernal pool. Mr. Anderson also conducted rare plant surveys in spring following Department of Fish and Wildlife rare plant survey protocols. Following completion of the biological inventory, Mr. Anderson prepared an impact analysis and mitigation measures to compensate for impacts to the rare plants, sensitive habitats, and jurisdictional streams and wetlands at the site. 01V1COM CORPORATION envicom CORPORATION ERIN ROBERTS ISA Certified Arborist and Biologist/Restoration Ecologist eroberts@envicomcorporation.com Years of Experience Ms. Erin Roberts is an ISA certified arborist, biologist, and restoration Over 11 years ecologist with over 11 years of professional experience.

Working in and across the infrastructure sectors of energy, water, and transportation, as well as planning and development industries, we advise and educate clients and agency staff on topics ranging from federal and state regulatory processes, to air quality and noise analyses, to habitat and wetland mitigation planning. DEQA/NEPA Docufne" atiui. At the crux of our environmental practice, we support public and private clients in preparing legally defensible environmental impact assessments pursuant to CEQA and NEPA. ICF helps clients develop efficient, effective strategies to avoid potential liabilities that can arise during the Page -eICF 3 Statement of Qualifications — City of Santa Clarita environmental review process. We frequently work on time -sensitive projects and offer in-house resources throughout the project lifecycle, in areas ranging from project planning to greenhouse gases to community outreach. ICF offers a broad range of in-house expertise and services in the field of CEQA and NEPA analysis, including: ► Program -level and project -level EIRs, Categorical Exemptions, ISs, NDs and MNDs, Addendum documents, and joint CEQA/NEPA documents ► Project approval and decision documents, such as Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Programs, Findings of Fact, and Statements of Overriding Considerations ► Noticing fulfillment, such as the Notice of Preparation, Notice of Availability, and Notice of Determination ► Project design scoping and assistance and alternatives development ► Community outreach and public comment analysis ► In-house project management staffing ► Mitigation monitoring and implementation With our extensive work in policy and in the field, ICF stays at the forefront of the emerging actions and trends that impact environmental regulatory compliance, such as: ► Court decisions ► Statutory and regulatory changes ► Climate change analysis ► Emergency response planning ► Alternative energy sources and green technologies ► Public health Peer Review of CEQA Documents Prepared by Project Applicants The City may need expertise to assist in peer reviewing environmental documents prepared by project applicants. This may occur when an applicant retains another consultant to conduct the work, yet the City is required to make independent findings and ensure the document meets its needs. ICF is commonly retained to provide peer review of technical studies on behalf of our municipal clients, as most do not have the necessary expertise in house. ICF will review these environmental documents prepared by other consultants with a focus on whether impacts have been appropriately substantiated and disclosed, and appropriate methodologies have been used. ICF has the capabilities to review all types of technical studies in house, as well. We will ensure that the City's interests and concerns are considered and will advise the City on whether the document contains any flaws, omissions, errors, and/or generally poor CEQA practices. Review CEQA/NEPA Documents from Neighboring Jurisdictions/ Agencies The City may also need expertise to assist in peer reviewing environmental documents from outside agencies. This may occur when adjacent cities are proposing new development or infrastructure projects that could result in direct or indirect impacts on the residents and businesses located in the City. Like the peer reviews of documents prepared by project applicants, ICF can review these environmental documents prepared by other agencies with a focus on whether impacts have been appropriately substantiated and disclosed, and appropriate methodologies have been used. We will Page -eICF 4 Statement of Qualifications — City of Santa Clarita ensure that the City's interests and concerns are considered and will advise the City on whether the document contains any flaws, omissions, errors, and/or generally poor CEQA practices. Required Consultation ICF has the experts in house who can assist the City with required consultations. Our staff have established relationships with permitting agencies, such as the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and many others. We commonly represent our clients in permitting negotiations and have a good working relationship to come to win -win compromises. We also have relationships with certain Native American Tribes, and commonly conduct outreach to tribal representatives as part of preparation of EIRs and cultural resources studies. As part of the Assembly Bill 52 consultation process, typically consultation is an agency -to -agency process. However, ICF cultural resources specialists can help the City navigate through the process, and work with the City during the consultation as necessary. Technical Studies and Services In addition to providing a full range of CEQA services, ICF has extensive capabilities in-house to address nearly all the multidisciplinary topics covered by CEQA. These services may be part of a CEQA document or may be stand-alone studies when specific expertise is desired. A description of our capabilities in the respective technical disciplines follows.

All documents are edited by professional editors and formatted by publications specialists. \1/ Page ICF 8 Statement of Qualifications — City of Santa Clarita ICF's Unique CharacteristicF Many firms provide the minimum qualifications and have a basic understanding of CEQA or provide CEQA services as an "add -on" to an existing core business focus, such as General Plan or Specific Plan policy work. In contrast, ICF is a full -service environmental firm with a focused and longstanding commitment to the preparation of CEQA documentation. As such, we bring several uniquely relevant benefits to the City for this on -call contract, as discussed below. CEQA Advisory Support Services: Instant Access to Our Experts We understand that the City may require advisory support services, and ICF is prepared to provide environmental consultation, advise, and review services to complement City staff resources. In addition to our planners and project managers, the City would have access to ICF's legal counsel and/or technical experts, as needed. ICF will work with City staff during the preliminary review of discretionary project applications to help determine the most appropriate environmental clearance process. Our team brings the applied knowledge of CEQA and the breadth of expertise to help the City weigh the potential risks and rewards associated with the various approaches that could be pursued. Oftentimes this decision can be made by professional judgment and instinct, but occasionally requires a more objective approach. Environmental Education Program: Expertise Beyond the Project ICF's Environmental Education Program offers a formal training ground for clients and other consultants to learn from recognized CEQA/NEPA experts. In the history of the program, we have conducted more than 200 workshops, seminars, and training programs covering CEQA compliance, environmental impact assessment, mitigation measure development and monitoring, and regulatory compliance. We bring this same passion and enthusiasm for teaching and coaching to our own staff, which results in a solid understanding of CEQA issues and high -quality work products across the board. We often put together tailored training programs for our clients, depending upon their needs. Up -to -Date Knowledge of CEQA Guidelines: Always Reliable Information Our project managers and technical staff stay well versed on the latest updates to the State CEQA Guidelines and recent legislation, as well as the latest case law decisions. These can be confusing and complicated to understand and apply to projects. We proactively seek out opportunities to help our clients navigate the tough issues and are actively working with several clients in the wake of the 2018 CEQA changes and key legal decisions. Page fICF 9 Statement of Qualifications — City of Santa Clarita 1.1.3 RELEVANT EXPERIENCE Collectively our team has prepared hundreds of environmental documents for a wide variety of private and public agency projects (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial, mixed -use, transportation, energy, infrastructure, and flood control). ICF has been providing environmental planning services to the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering (LABOE) for more than 20 years including "` two consecutive on -call services contracts. Under those contracts, ICF has �y prepared CEQA documents and studies for roadway widening, bridge reconstruction, pipeline, and government facilities (fire stations, parks, museums) projects. The CEQA documents have encompassed the full CitywNklde Cat Program paEnWmmvntYlmo.cl Rc.at- Fx.c mmary range of studies from CEs and IS/MNDs to EIRs. ICF has also provided biological resources monitoring and regulatory permitting services to LABOE under our on -call contracts. ICF worked with the City of Los Angeles and SCAG to develop CEQA low streamlining guidance pursuant to Senate Bills (SB) 375 and 226 with the 'RIM ■ objective of improving the efficiency of the CEQA process for the City of M Los Angeles. 90ru.7, ICF's scope of work comprises document preparation in accordance with CEQA and NEPA; field, literature, and electronic database reviews; technical studies; public meeting support; and regulatory permitting activities, preparation of permit applications, field activities, and regulatory agency coordination. Task orders have included CEQA documentation and specialized technical studies for a broad range of project types, including water resources, culverts, recreational resources, roadway and bikeway improvements, and biological resources. \I/ Page -#ICF 10 Statement of Qualifications — City of Santa Clarita ICF completed the EIR for a specific plan comprising over 3.5 million square feet of industrial warehousing and logistics uses in the City of Fontana. The project involves a highly complex piece of land that spans a large open space area of the city and is surrounded by multiple jurisdictions. ICF reviewed all technical reports provided by the applicant, provided recommendations to strengthen the technical accuracy of the work, and used revised data to prepare an EIR for public release. ICF guided the City of Fontana through the environmental process and continues to process the project for legal defensibility. Atkins, under the management of Alison Rondone and Kim Avila, prepared an EIR for the South Glendale Community Plan (SGCP). The SGCP is the second of four community plans planned for Glendale, preceded by the North Glendale Community Plan (2011) and to be followed by the West and East Glendale Community Plans (future). The SGCP includes the neighborhoods within Glendale south of State Route (SR-) 134, including Downtown Glendale, Adams Hill, and Tropico. The SGCP area comprises 2,952 acres and includes one of the main retail hubs in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, featuring the Glendale Galleria, a major regional mall, and The Americana at Brand, a flagship mixed -use lifestyle center. The SGCP area is generally bounded by Chevy Chase Drive and Acacia Avenue to the north, Verdugo Road and city of Los Angeles to the east, the Adams Hill Neighborhood (bordered by Glendale Avenue to the west), and the City of Los Angeles to the south. ICF prepared the CEQA IS/MND, NEPA EA, and supporting technical reports for the Taylor Yard Bikeway/Pedestrian bridge proposed as a multi - modal bridge over the Los Angeles River between Elysian Valley on the west and Taylor Yard on the east, and connecting with the existing bikeway along the river on the south; on the north, a 275-foot-long bikeway ramp would be constructed. The bridge is designed for bicycle and pedestrian use, supports emergency vehicles, and includes the construction of two American with Disabilities Act —compliant ramps. Construction of the bridge began in April 2019. \w > Page ICF 11 Statement of Qualifications — City of Santa C/arita Project Manager Jessie Barkley recently completed the 1020 Figueroa Hotel Project EIR on a key project site adjacent to LA LIVE, Staples Center Arena, and Microsoft Theater. The site is currently developed with the nine - story Luxe City Center Hotel and surface parking lots, which would be removed to support the project. The project is proposed to include two high- rise towers (500 feet) that would include a W Hotel with approximately 300 rooms and a residential tower for 436 rooms. Key issues examined in the EIR were aesthetics and lighting impacts related to a detailed lighting and signage program associated with the project; vibration and historic impacts related to the adjacent Historic Petroleum Building; and traffic and construction -related noise. ICF prepared the 2020 Community Climate Action Plan (CCAP) for Los Angeles County. The CCAP, which was adopted in 2015, describes the County's plan to reduce the impacts of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from community activities in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County by at least 11 % below 2010 levels by 2020. The CCAP serves as a qualified GHG reduction strategy for purposes of CEQA streamlining for projects through 2020. The project required close coordination with the County of Los Angeles with the parallel development of a major update to the General Plan for Los Angeles County, development of a detailed emission reductions tracking tool, and support for the County of Los Angeles in resolving stakeholder concerns. ICF provided environmental support services to the City's Los Angeles River program, managed by LARiverWorks in the Office of the Mayor, under direction from the Bureau of Engineering and LARiverWorks. Specific support included advisory services for CEQA compliance strategies and technical reviews, coordination, and project management. ICF supported finalization of the EIS/EIR for the Los Angeles River Ecosystem Restoration Study Integrated Feasibility Report (IFR), focused on 11 miles of the Los Angeles River from Griffith Park to downtown Los Angeles, including the Bowtie Parcel, to provide ecosystem restoration benefits while maintaining existing levels of flood risk management. Specific tasks included preparation of the final CEQA approval documents, including the Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Program and Statement of Considerations and Findings to support the City's CEQA review and approval process, and helping finalize the EIS/EIR. \1/ Page -#ICF 12 Statement of Qualifications — City of Santa Clarita ICF completed the preparation of a Categorical Exclusion and Statutory Exemption and technical studies for compliance with NEPA and CEQA. The Lone Hill to CP White Double Tracking Project includes construction of a second tract, improvements to one station in Pomona bridges, at -grade crossings, and other infrastructure. The project will extend double track territory by approximately 3.9 miles, resulting in improved travel times and operational rail flexibility. When constructed, this project would add much - needed capacity to accommodate the current need and future growth of Metrolink service along the San Gabriel Subdivision, which is the most successful line in the system in terms of weekday boardings, averaging more than 11,000 riders. The high -profile nature of this type of project required much more of an extensive technical investigation than any previous exemption and exclusion documents, and now this project can serve as a template for other future double -track projects for Metro. Project Manager Jessie Barkley completed an EIR for a private, mixed -use development: the 6250 Sunset Boulevard Project. This project received the 2018 Association of Environmental Professionals California Award Winner for Environmental Resource Document. The seven -story Essex Hollywood will bring 200 new apartments (including 5% Very Low -Income households) and street level commercial use space along Sunset Boulevard near Vine Street. The project would also provide an approximately 7,000-square-foot pedestrian paseo running between the Essex and the Earl Carroll Theater allowing for new mid -block access for pedestrians between Sunset Boulevard and Leland Avenue. ICF prepared the program EIR for the Pasadena City College Master Plan, which includes replacement of six existing buildings as well as construction of four new facilities. The technology building, which no longer meets program needs, will be replaced. A new Campus Center will be constructed on the site of the existing facility to house the Campus Cafe, security offices, student copy center and coffee bar, bookstore, and Associated Student Offices. The master plan also calls for construction of a four -level parking garage and a multi -purpose athletic field. Because the campus is constrained physically, there was limited room to add new facilities. Creative solutions were employed, such as the planned construction of a new building on the site of the existing tennis courts, which will then be placed on the roof. The overlapping reconfigurations and new construction required careful attention during the assessment of impacts to evaluate spill -back and temporary effects. Page ICF 13 Statement of Qualifications — City of Santa C/arita ICF is currently working with Summerland Partners on the Lankershim Crossing SCEA MND on a 4.5-acre project site in North Hollywood. The project includes the demolition of existing underperforming commercial uses and the construction of a seven -story building that would feature 432 apartments —including 48 affordable units —with 22,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space. ICF is the in the process of drafting the EIR for the Olive View -UCLA Medical Center Campus Master Plan. The master plan is intended to guide development of the campus over a period of 20 years and guide the delivery of health care services and health -related community programs. The master plan provides alternate paths for that development and flexibility to allow the master plan to adapt to changes over time. Full buildout of the master plan could result in a net increase of approximately 1.2 million square feet of development throughout the campus. The Draft EIR is expected to be released in the summer of 2019. ICF helped in the city's effort to alleviate homelessness by preparing environmental technical studies to implement temporary homeless shelters The City of Los Angeles program, known as A Bridge Housing offers 24/7 security and onsite services such as case management, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, and housing placement to help residents in each of the City's 15 council districts stabilize their lives and move to permanent housing. ICF prepared the CEQA Program EIR for the LAC+USC Medical Center 1 �- Master Plan under the direction of staff from the County of Los Angeles„, ti Department of Public Works, a long-term client of ICF's. The LAC+USC_"` Medical Center is a world -class Level -One trauma center and a hub in the County of Los Angeles Health Care system. The master plan would influence the delivery of health care services and health -related community programs and would serve as a vision and guide for future development. Development under the master plan would include construction of new and renovated medical -related, office, retail, open space, and parking uses and demolition of some existing buildings and structures to accommodate new development. Full buildout of the master plan could result in a total of approximately 1,725,000 square feet of development throughout the campus. �M Page -eICF 14 Statement of Qualifications — City of Santa Clarita ICF prepared the EIR for this large master plan program covering approximately 700 miles of new bikeways in Los Angeles County. This project was funded through the County Department of Public Health and, ultimately, the Center for Disease Control. The project was required to follow a mandated schedule in order to secure federal funding. ICF successfully managed to meet this aggressive schedule while completing the project within budget. ICF provided all environmental services for the EIR. Primary issues included impacts on traffic from bike lanes and bike routes and impacts on water resources and biological resources from bike paths adjacent to waterways. As a program EIR, the document looked not only at the cumulative impacts of 700 miles of bikeways, as well as other projects within the County, but also provided a roadmap for project -level analysis and mitigation once individual projects within the plan proceed to implementation. `1 / Page eICF 15 Statement of Qualifications — City of Santa Clarita 1.1.4 REFERENCES ICF References follow this page.

An important element of our proposed Program Management approach is the introduction of an Expectations Meeting for each project. Prior to a kick-off meeting with the full project team, the ICF team will hold an Expectations Meeting with City staff to make sure every project starts off right and that we are aligned with the City's vision, priorities, and expectations for the project. During this meeting, we will seek consensus on the overall project approach, discuss any technical or management apprehensions that the City may have, promote a candid conversation on any project challenges that may be apparent to the team at the onset, and confer on potential solutions and key milestones to keep progress on track. The ICF management team will share the relevant information from the Expectations Meeting with the larger project team to ensure there is a common understanding of project priorities, goals, and anticipated challenges, thereby allowing us to proceed in an informed manner and address any challenges that arise early and expeditiously. In addition, to keep concurrent projects moving on track with schedule and budget approved by the City, Jessie, Alison, and Tanvi will maintain close coordination with the City staff leads through biweekly check -in calls to ensure the projects are being managed to the City's expectations, and are on track to being delivered within schedule and budget. During these calls, we will discuss any potential challenges being faced by the team and ensure they have the appropriate resources needed, and we will share lessons learnt and best practices across projects to help realize work and cost efficiencies on the contract. Jessie, Alison, and Tanvi will work closely with City staff and be proactive in addressing the City's comments on deliverables, making revisions, and delivering revised work products. They will also prepare detailed monthly progress reports to track completion of project tasks and expenditure of budget and assess whether both are tracking as expected. Throughout the contract, Jessie, Alison, and Tanvi will be available to provide oversight in delivery of all projects and ensure that the key technical experts, QA/QC reviewers, key advisors, and technical editors deliver projects that meet the highest quality standards. QA/QC ICF has organized and successfully managed both small, focused teams as well as large, complex, multidisciplinary environmental teams. A structured and effective document preparation and technical analysis system enables us to produce the required environmental studies and reports with uncompromising high standards. We are cognizant of the prime importance that QA/QC has on all projects. Our staff adheres to a problem -solving philosophy and believes that scientific accuracy, knowledge of pertinent legal and regulatory processes, and decision -oriented work products are key for quality client service. Our goal is to provide an objective analysis of the environmental issues, develop legally defensible documents, and prepare decision -oriented reports that will enable informed decision -making and provide appropriate public disclosure of project impacts. ICF is committed to and has been recognized for excellence in the delivery of high -quality documents. We have developed and routinely implement QA/QC procedures that effectively and Page -eICF 18 Statement of Qualifications — City of Santa Clarita economically maintain a high standard of technical quality in the preparation of environmental surveys, studies, reports, and analysis documents. Our QA/QC process contains the following elements, and is generally organized around technical peer review and editorial review: k A critical first step in ensuring economical and streamlined QA/QC of a document is the development of an organized, detailed, and comprehensive template for the environmental document that, after selected, will be shared with the team at the outset of a project. This facilitates efficient and smooth document reviews in a cost-effective manner. For each team member firm, including ICF, a senior technical reviewer, the Project Manager, and the QA/QC officer will review analyses and documents prepared before they are considered final for submission to the City. Work submitted to ICF by subconsultants will be reviewed by ICF's experts in each of the technical areas. The review will entail a check for technical content, organization, and analytical approach. Documents are also subject to review for adherence to NEPA and CEQA guidelines for document preparation, as well as appropriate state, local, and federal regulatory standards and guidelines. Subsequently, materials will be edited for understandability, grammar, punctuation, and spelling before incorporation into the overall environmental document. Editorial review will follow the guidelines presented in ICF's in-house style sheet, which incorporates the principles of several widely used manuals of style, as well as conventions that are specific to environmental consulting. Our unique editing process ensures that the document is formatted to be visually pleasing and is objectively reviewed and edited by individuals who have college degrees in English and years of experience making technical documents readable to the layperson. Finally, our graphics artists and GIS experts will develop visual tools for use in the document, including maps, charts, diagrams, and other illustrations as needed to support text discussion. �R Page **ICF 19 Statement of Qualifications — City of Santa Clarita 1.1.6 PERSONNEL, EQUIPMENT, AND FACILITIES ICF has a diverse array of experienced personnel in the Los Angeles office to draw upon, and contracts awarded will be administered out of that office. The role of the Project Director will be to ensure that scopes, budgets, and work products meet or exceed the City's expectations. The Project Director will also serve contract manager, and provide oversight, provide QA/QC reviews, and help to resolve any issues. The Director will regularly check in with City staff to ensure they are satisfied with the quality of the final documents and work products. The Project Manager will lead the team toward implementation and delivery of the project documents and will be the main point of contact with the City for each project. The Project Manager will be responsible for any internal or external coordination efforts, including contracting, subcontracting, and direct correspondence with the City. A description of the proposed leadership and project team and their proposed roles follows.

We will provide knowledge and insight that will allow the City to be well prepared for a transition to Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) as its primary transportation impact metric for CEQA analysis, marrying the State's objectives to encourage transportation -efficient development with the City's own goals and objectives. Because we have the data and materials prepared related to VMT methodology options, VMT thresholds, and the latest information regarding VMT mitigation, Fehr & Peers is able to wholly support the City. We have also anticipated the critical questions that the City and its stakeholders will have, and we are knowledgeable on relevant plans and policies already in place. We have an implementation approach that will allow the City to meet the State's July 1, 2020 adoption deadline. As part of the process, Fehr & Peers used the regional SCAG model to estimate 2012 and 2040 household generated automobile VMT per capita estimates for each Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) in the City. After establishing a methodology to estimate project VMT, Fehr & Peers will help to update Santa Clarita's traffic study guidelines to incorporate the process in compliance with latest CEQA guidelines. LA Zoo Vision Plan EIR Fehr & Peers is preparing the transportation analysis for the Los Angeles Zoo Vision Plan, a long-term comprehensive plan, encompassing physical growth, enhancement of the attractions and visitor services, and growth in attendance. The transportation analysis is taking a deep dive into historic zoo attendance, membership, and operations to develop an empiric understanding of on -site trip generation, trip distribution, and visitor trip origins, with unique analyses for both employees and visitors. Fehr & Peers developed and oversaw extensive visitor, employee, and transit -rider surveys to supplement the historic data analyzed. Fehr & Peers is working closely with the project consultant team to refine the visitor growth projections and assumptions for use in the transportation analysis. The EIR for this project is one of the first to be analyzed using the LADOT's new Transportation Analysis Guidelines and vehicle -miles - traveled -based impact thresholds — and with the Zoo as a unique generator, Fehr & Peers has used their deep understanding of the TAG to develop the right VMT and site -access and circulation analysis approach for the project. Fehr & Peers is coordinating with stakeholders that include transit agencies, LA City Parks & Recreation, LA City Planning, and the LA River team to ensure that future transportation options to the Zoo are robust, multimodal, and coordinated with other nearby City improvements. Infill and Complete Streets - Capturing VMT Impacts and Benefits to CEQA The City of Los Angeles is shifting from an auto -oriented metropolis to a city built around transit, compact transit -oriented development, and multi -modal "Complete Streets" which emphasize all travel modes. However, these dynamic policy shifts have been significantly impeded by requirements under CEQA to mitigate automobile delay. The City wants to seize the historic opportunity, mandated by SB 743, to realign the environmental review processes with policies that support infill development and Complete Streets transportation projects. Fehr & Peers was selected to work closely with the LADCP and LADOT to develop new VMT-based CEQA thresholds and to update the tools necessary to implement the new procedures. In addition to developing the new thresholds, Fehr & Peers is updating and calibrating the City's travel demand model; this aspect includes incorporating mobile source "Big Data" into the trip distribution validation to improve VMT estimation and rebuilding the transit route system using General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data from major transit operators. A key component of the study is developing a sketch model tool to perform project -level VMT analysis; this effort includes quantifying local vehicle trip generation for mixed -use projects, creative office buildings, market rate housing, and affordable housing to assist in calibrating the sketch model tool to Los Angeles conditions, incorporating MXD concepts to reflect the effect of the built environment, transit proximity, and area demographics on urban trip generation, and incorporating quantification of effectiveness of transportation demand management (TDM) strategies to reduce project VMT. The affordable housing sites are broken down based on population (senior, family, special needs, permanent supportive) and location (inside or outside a transit priority area). Finally, Fehr & Peers is developing materials to educate city staff, private developers, transportation practitioners, and the community about the new impact review methodology. West Hollywood Citywide Traffic and Mobility Study Fehr & Peers is leading a team to assist the City of West Hollywood. Key tasks include the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program, Physical Roadway Improvements, and Traffic Impact Fee Program, which all have unique challenges. The Fehr & Peers team is helping the City navigate through this process to emerge with solutions serve the City's goals and the changing needs of land use development and people traveling in the City. For the TDM program, the Fehr & Peers -led team is using extensive team expertise along with the best available data and input from stakeholders to tailor strategies and solutions that are likely to be most effective in West Hollywood. The use of "Big Data" in evaluating the travel markets for each of the five commercial districts is a critical element in understanding the needs of the districts. Fehr & Peers is developing a model that goes beyond the traditional highway -focused travel demand models to provide enhanced capabilities in such areas as smart growth, GHG emissions, transit operations, and alternative modes such as walking and bicycling. We have developed innovative techniques that allow travel behavior models to capture the interactions between neighborhood -scale land use characteristics and travel patterns. This is based on research and tool development in the areas of state-of-the-art travel FM demand modeling, travel demand management effectiveness, VMT estimation, and mixed -use trip generation considering the effects of the built environment. The study also includes a Physical Roadway Improvements section, where the City will be able to test and evaluate a variety of options including physical improvements, policies and programs that are aimed at improving multimodal mobility in the City of West Hollywood. As part of this task, Fehr & Peers is evaluating the current and future roadway infrastructure needs based on the local and regional 2040 land use/SED forecasts. A series of performance metrics is being developed to measure the effects of multi - modal improvements, along with the development of a framework for an annual transportation performance report card that can be updated and used beyond the life of this project. An essential element of this task is coordination with City of West Hollywood staff and the City Council during key points of the process. We are also updating the City of West Hollywood's Transportation Impact Fee Program, which will: • Provide funding for circulation element improvements necessary to support the land use element of the General Plan. • Ensure that new development is paying a "reasonable" fair share of circulation element network expansion. • Engage the residential and commercial development community to build support for the impact fees. • Obtain consensus from elected officials in support of the impact fees. • Develop a defensible nexus analysis. • Minimize potential financial disincentives caused by impact fees on affordable housing. • Minimize potential financial disincentives caused by impact fees on desired land uses that can help minimize longer distance travel. • Leverage impact fees to increase state and federal funding.

Metro Understanding How Women Travel Study What are the needs and experiences of women traversing LA County? Developing from Metro's Women and Girls Governing Council, this first -of -its -kind study aimed to answer these questions in order to improve women's safety and comfort on transit and attract and retain women to the Metro system. To ensure a comprehensive approach that captured the diverse needs and experiences of women in LA County, Fehr & Peers led a team using an innovative, mixed -methods approach to capture quantitative data as well as qualitative data from hard -to -reach rider populations including women experiencing homelessness, women immigrants, and women with disabilities.. Key partners were selected to develop and execute participant observation, focus groups, an online survey, art -based participatory workshops, and pop-up events. The final report is a graphically rich, visually compelling document that covers an expansive array of findings and highlights areas for Metro to explore in the next phase of implementation -focused work. Willoughby & Gardner/Vista Greenway Planning & Design Willoughby Ave and Gardner St/Vista St were identified in the West Hollywood Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan as priority corridors for neighborhood greenway facilities. In 2019, Fehr & Peers was hired as part of a team to study, plan, and design these corridors. Fehr & Peers conducted an origin -destination analysis using cellular data to understand the travel patterns along the corridors, and collected information about other existing conditions such as parking patterns, collision history, and opportunities for improvement for people on foot and on bike, in order to develop initial concepts for the corridors. Chelsea is managing this project. Metro Blue Line First/Last Mile Plan Fehr & Peers led a community -driven first/last mile planning process for all 22 stations along the Metro Blue Line. This project built upon the methodology established in the Metro First/Last Mile Strategic Plan to incorporate input from the communities along the Blue Line through a participatory planning process and a project team structure that included community -based organizations. The project included field assessments of the built environment through community -led walk audits, the development of a Pathway Network, and generation of project ideas to address barriers and challenges. The process involved extensive community outreach, and resulted in the development of a plan that highlights the social and historical context of the communities along the Blue Line and addresses the top -priority needs to improve access to each station along the line. Following the adoption of the Plan, Fehr & Peers supported Metro in the development of six large grant applications for the Caltrans Active Transportation Program, conducting feasibility analysis and cost estimating project along 20 miles of the highest -priority Pathway Network corridors. Chelsea managed this project. Metro Active Transportation Strategic Plan Fehr & Peers prepared the Active Transportation Strategic Plan for Metro, which was used to build support and set funding levels for active transportation projects in LA's successful sales tax initiative for transportation (Measure M). The team's outreach efforts included a Technical Advisory Committee; public meetings with local stakeholders; and meetings with Councils of Governments throughout Los Angeles County. As part of the Active Transportation Strategic Plan, Fehr & Peers worked with Metro to develop first -/last -mile treatments that improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists accessing transit. This process included extensive data assembly from multiple stakeholders, data analysis, and the creation of visual displays to communicate a complete picture of transportation issues at each station site. Chelsea was the lead analyst on this project. Fountain Avenue Safety Study Fehr & Peers conducted a safety study on Fountain Avenue in the City of West Hollywood to determine potential recommendations that could be implemented to improve safety on corridor. The study included an analysis of the collision history on the corridor, travel patterns using Big Data, and intersection delay. Recommendations were provided in several time buckets based on ease of implementation and identified need at certain locations by City staff. Fehr & Peers also analyzed the expected safety benefits using data from FHWA's Crash Modification Factors Clearinghouse, and the potential for changes to vehicle travel through adjacent neighborhoods. Capturing VMT Impacts and Benefits to CEQA The City of Los Angeles is shifting from an auto -oriented metropolis to a city built around transit, compact transit -oriented development, and multi -modal "Complete Streets" which emphasize all travel modes. However, these dynamic policy shifts have been significantly impeded by requirements under CEQA to mitigate automobile delay. The City wants to seize the historic opportunity, mandated by SB 743, to realign the environmental review processes with policies that support infill development and Complete Streets transportation projects. Fehr & Peers was selected to work closely with the LADCP and LADOT to develop new VMT-based CEQA thresholds and to update the tools necessary to implement the new procedures. In addition to developing the new thresholds, Fehr & Peers is updating the City's travel demand model and developing a sketch model tool to perform project -level VMT analysis; quantifying the parking demand and vehicle trip reduction benefits for mixed -use projects, creative office buildings, market rate housing, and affordable housing, and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies. The affordable housing sites are broken down based on population (senior, family, special needs, permanent supportive) and location (inside or outside a transit priority area). Fehr & Peers is educating city staff, private developers, and the community about the new impact review methodology through an engaging public outreach program.

The transportation analysis is taking a deep dive into historic zoo attendance, membership, and operations to develop an empiric understanding of on -site trip generation, trip distribution, and visitor trip origins, with unique analyses for both employees and visitors. Fehr & Peers developed and oversaw extensive visitor, employee, and transit - rider surveys to supplement the historic data analyzed. Fehr & Peers is working closely with the project consultant team to refine the visitor growth projections and assumptions for use in the transportation analysis. LAX Model Development and Specific Plan Amendment Study Draft EIR Fehr & Peers performed a comprehensive transportation analysis for the LAX Specific Plan Amendment Study (SPAS). Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) developed the LAX Master Plan to provide a strategic framework for future development of the airport. The SPAS process was intended to identify potential alternative designs, technologies and configurations for the LAX Master Plan program. The off -airport surface transportation analysis for the SPAS alternatives addresses traffic -related impacts outside the airport, including arterial roads, highway segments and ramps that serve traffic approaching and departing the airport environs. Fehr & Peers developed a sub -area travel demand model based on the SCAG regional travel model. The travel model produced traffic forecasts that provide the basis for assessing and solving operational traffic impacts associated with the SPAS. Project alternatives along with the associated increase in annual passengers were analyzed. A total of 200 intersections and over 45 regional freeway segments/ramps intersections across 10 jurisdictions were included in the study, providing a complete analysis of conditions in this dense urban environment. Mitigation measures were developed for all impacted locations where feasible, including physical improvements, traffic operational solutions and expansion the airport transportation demand management program. The effectiveness of various mitigation measures identified for the SPAS alternatives were evaluated. Fehr & Peers has been involved in the agency coordination and the public outreach process during the course of the study. John is Principal -in -Charge. West Hollywood Citywide Traffic and Mobility Study Fehr & Peers is leading a team to assist the City of West Hollywood. Key tasks include the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program, Physical Roadway Improvements, and Traffic Impact Fee Program, which all have unique challenges and the Fehr & Peers team is helping the City navigate through this process and emerge with solutions that work to achieve the City's goals and serve the changing needs of land use development and the travelers we all serve. For the TDM program, the Fehr & Peers team used extensive team expertise along with the best available data and input from stakeholders to tailor strategies and solutions that are likely to be most effective in West Hollywood. The use of "Big Data" in evaluating the travel markets for each of the five commercial districts is a critical element in understanding the needs of the districts. Central City/Central City North Community Plan EIR As part of a team, Fehr & Peers is conducting a transportation analysis for the Central City/Central City North Community Plan EIR for the City of Los Angeles. This includes an existing conditions analysis and evaluating future conditions using a locally refined version of the City's travel demand model, which Fehr & Peers developed. We are reviewing options for metrics for impact analysis, specifically in the downtown area. Then the future Community Plan scenarios are being analyzed with possible transportation network improvements, changes to land use, and changes to households and employment. Transportation mitigation measures could include the City's 2035 Mobility Plan, also prepared by Fehr & Peers, and tailored refinements for the Central City and Central City North communities. Fehr & Peers is responsible for the preparation of the Transportation section of the EIR for the Plan update. John Muggridge is the Principal in Charge of the project. Temple City General Plan Fehr & Peers worked on the General Plan Update for Temple City. The first part of the project involved the preparation of new goals and policies for the Circulation Element. The update included the latest direction from the state regarding the need to address Complete Streets and multi -modal transportation as specified in AB 1358. This reflected the City's recent efforts towards management of the transportation system as evidenced by the Traffic Calming Master Plan and the Parking Master Plan. The Circulation Element also reflected the City's goals of promoting bicycle and pedestrian travel. Fehr & Peers then prepared a Transportation Study to assess the impacts associated with the General Plan land use for inclusion in the Environmental Impact Report. John Muggridge served as the Principal in Charge. Expo Corridor Transit Neighborhood Plans Fehr & Peers served the City of LA in their "Transit Neighborhood Planning" for 10 future light rail stations along the Crenshaw and Expo lines. The project included new land use and streetscape regulations, general plan amendments, and specific plans for five of the stations. Our approach to trip generation, parking demand estimation, and transportation evaluation was informed by the City's new and innovative approaches to transportation evaluation contained in the LA213 update to the circulation element. Fehr & Peers' combination of experience with market based private development impact analysis and our citywide efforts on the Mobility Element came together to meet the City's desire to incentivize an appropriate mix and density of land uses, foster economic development, improve ridership, provide and maintain affordable housing, and enhance the quality of the built environment. Pasadena General Plan Update & Travel Demand Model Development Fehr & Peers developed a travel demand model for the City of Pasadena to be used as a tool in the evaluation of Land Use and Mobility Element land use scenarios and transportation system alternatives. The model provides the ability to evaluate transportation system network and modal alternatives, and to assess various performance indicators for land use and transportation, including vehicle miles travelled. Fehr & Peers prepared the transportation impact analysis for the general plan update EIR. John served as Project Manager.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE Santa Clarita SB 743 Implementation Fehr & Peers is assisting the City of Santa Clarita with SB 743 Implementation. We will provide knowledge and insight that will allow the City to be well prepared for a transition to Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) as its primary transportation impact metric for CEQA analysis, marrying the State's objectives to encourage transportation - efficient development with the City's own goals and objectives. Because we have the data and materials prepared related to VMT methodology options, VMT thresholds, and the latest information regarding VMT mitigation, Fehr & Peers is able to wholly support the City. We have also anticipated the critical questions that the City and its stakeholders will have, and we are knowledgeable on relevant plans and policies already in place. We have an implementation approach that will allow the City to meet the State's July 1, 2020 adoption deadline. As part of the process, Fehr & Peers used the regional SCAG model to estimate 2012 and 2040 household generated automobile VMT per capita estimates for each Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) in the City. After establishing a methodology to estimate project VMT, Fehr & Peers will help to update Santa Clarita's traffic study guidelines to incorporate the process in compliance with latest CEQA guidelines. Beverly Hills On -Call Engineering Support Fehr & Peers, with Sarah as the Project Manager, has served as the on -call transportation consultants for over 10 years. We have assisted by reviewing and providing recommendations regarding traffic -related concerns submitted by residents and business owners and provided support to City staff.

Sarah has worked closely with City staff for many years to ensure that technical questions regarding transportation and traffic impacts are thoroughly addressed as projects are being considered for approval and implementation. Mobility 2035, City of LA Mobility Element Fehr & Peers, with Sarah as the EIR project manager, led a team to update the General Plan Mobility Element for the City of Los Angeles. From a selection of alternative approaches, the City chose to implement a multimodal layered -network with a context sensitive overlay to update its street classification system. Fehr & Peers used its previous work on the LA Street Classification and Benchmarking System study to develop concepts for a layered network and create new street standards. Through an extensive social media campaign and a series of meetings and workshops, Fehr & Peers framed the conversation in terms of transportation choices, where options and tradeoffs are clearly defined to reflect both aspirational goals and the constraints of conditions on the ground. Throughout the project, our team performed outreach and branding related to public engagement for the Mobility Element (called LA213). In Phase 2 of the Mobility Plan update, Fehr & Peers led the team to prepare the technical analysis and EIR required for plan adoption. The City's Travel Demand Model, developed by our team, was used to develop non-traditional performance measures to quantify the benefits of the City's new layered network. As part of this effort, our team geo-coded all of the planned and pending transportation improvement projects in the City that can be used by staff going forward. LA213 created a new vision for mobility in the City of LA and provide the environmental clearance needed for implementation. Westside Mobility Plan, City of Los Angeles Fehr & Peers, with Sarah as the Project Manager, led a multi- disciplinary team to develop a long-term comprehensive Mobility Plan for the Westside of the City of Los Angeles, California. The study included six major components: development of a state-of- the-art travel demand model; a mobility and rail connectivity study including the potential for north/south rail transit connections from the LAX area through the Westside and integration of transit, highway, bicycle and pedestrian modes; a comprehensive Westside parking study; updates to the Coastal Transportation Corridor and the West Los Angeles Transportation Specific Plans (including trip fee nexus studies for each); and a livable boulevards study addressing the integration of urban design/streetscape and transportation planning. The study included a substantial public outreach program to engage the community throughout the process. The Westside Mobility Plan blueprint is intended to serve as a catalyst for future action to improve transportation on the Westside. Wilmington EMPOWER Mobility & Action Plan, City of Los Angeles Fehr & Peers, with Sarah as the Project Manager, led the Wilmington EMPOWER study. EMPOWER combined community input and our team's technical expertise to identify mobility challenges and opportunities for the Wilmington area. A comprehensive Mobility Plan to serve the community through 2035 along with an Action Plan outlining six to eight near -term transportation improvements was developed by our team. A comprehensive public outreach effort was formulated to engage the community in the study and gather input through an on-line MetroQuest survey. The outreach activities provided an overview of the study and gathered input from the community on various mobility topics, such as transit, bicyclists and pedestrians, trip reduction strategies and roadway infrastructure. We also developed an EMPOWER website to increase project exposure and expand access to the residential and business surveys. All public outreach materials were created in both English and Spanish. Fehr & Peers developed an informational brochure on traveling in the Wilmington area with useful and practical tips on using active modes of transportation and transit to reduce environmental impacts through personal mobility decisions.

Project Experience LAX Landside Access Modernization Program Environmental Impact Report (CEQA/NEPA) Los Angeles, California Ninyo & Moore conducted a Hazardous Materials Assessment (HMA) and Preliminary Geotechnical Eval- uation in support of preparation of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Landside Access Modernization Program (LAMP). The LAMP project involves modernization of the LAX transportation system to relieve traffic congestion within the terminal area and surrounding street network by development of an automated people mover system located on an ele- vated guideway, intermodal transportation facilities that include parking garages and access to the Metro rail system, a consolidated rental car facility, and street improvements. The project extends across LAX property, Los Angeles County Metro facilities, private property, and various roadways within an area of approximately 2,000 acres around LAX. The HMA conducted by Ninyo & Moore fulfilled the basic requirements under the California Environmen- tal Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA) for identifying potential hazardous materials sites and potential impacts within the project area. Prior to acquiring adjacent prop- erties for the project, LAX requested the HMA to evaluate the presence of hazardous materials, petroleum products or other adverse environmental conditions at the site due to past or present use of the site and/or properties in the site vicinity. The HMA was prepared in generally accordance with applicable sec- tions of the ASTM International 2013 guidance (Designation Number E1527-13) and the EPA Standards and Practices for All Appropriate Inquiries. Ninyo & Moore reviewed readily available maps and reports provided by the client and readily available historical land use documents, including aerial photographs, Sanborn insurance maps, and city directories; performed a site reconnaissance to visually identify areas of possibly contaminated surficial soil or surface water, improperly stored or discarded hazardous mate- rials, suspect asbestos containing materials, suspect lead based paint, possible sources of polychlorinated biphenyls, and possible risks of contamination from activities at the site and adjacent properties. In addi- tion, Ninyo & Moore reviewed available regulatory agency databases including the Air Quality Management District, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the State Department of Toxic Sub- stances Control for the site and for properties within a specified radius of the site. A HMA report was prepared summarizing the findings and providing opinions and recommendations regarding possible en- vironmental impacts at the site. The Preliminary Geotechnical Evaluation performed by Ninyo & Moore involved assessment of the poten- tial geologic and seismic hazards associated with the LAMP project. The evaluation included a review of existing geotechnical studies and subsurface data for the project area, review of regional geologic and seismic hazard data, and analysis of the potential impacts that could affect the project. Ninyo & Moore prepared a technical report to present the geologic conditions at the project site, outline potential geo- logic and seismic impacts, and provide recommendations to reduce potential geotechnical impacts to less than significant levels for the identified CEQA thresholds. Long Beach Seaport Marina Hotel (2nd and Pacific Coast Highway Project) Ninyo & Moore provided environmental and geotechnical consulting services in support of preparation of the EIR for the Long Beach Seaport Marina Hotel Project in Long Beach, California. The project site is located in the low-lying coastal plain near the Long Beach marina and is developed with an existing hotel. The project consists of a mixed -use development with retail, residential, hotel, restaurant and entertain- ment uses. Buildings would generally range from two to six stories in height, with one residential tower reaching up to 12 stories. The proposed parking structure would include one level of subterranean park- i ng. Environmental services included review of Phase I and II Environmental Assessment Reports, oil field maps and records, and the state of California Solid Waste Information System to evaluate for the possible pres- ence of a former dump site in the area. After public comment on the draft EIR, Ninyo & Moore proposed mitigation measures to render environmental concerns and impacts to the site less than significant for the identified CEQA thresholds. Mitigation measures were to be implemented prior to and during site demolition and grading activities and included pre -demolition removal of known areas of concern, devel- oping and implementing a Soil Management Plan for use during site demolition and grading activities, asbestos and lead paint abatement, and geophysical and soil vapor surveys to assess the possible locations of the former dump site and oil wells. Our soils and geohazards services included review of geotechnical literature and environmental database research, review of an existing geotechnical evaluation and envi- ronmental site assessment report for the project site, review of geologic maps, regional fault maps, and seismic data, review of City of Long Beach safety element maps; review of City of Long Beach directory for historical site uses; geologic and seismic hazard analysis; and preparation of a geotechnical and environ- mental reviews presenting findings relative to potential impacts for the project. Significant potential geologic impacts evaluated for the project included potential liquefaction hazard, shallow groundwater, potential settlement and tsunami inundation. Our review reports provided detailed mitigation measures for these impacts to be considered during design and construction of the project.

Ninyo & Moore conducted previous evaluations at the site associated with construction of the Regional Intermodal Transportation Center. The proposed Replacement Terminal Project involved the construction of a new passenger terminal build- ing, parking structures, central utility plant, cargo and maintenance buildings, and taxiway/roadway extensions. Two alternative site locations were proposed for the new terminal building. Our geotechnical services in preparation of the soils and geology technical report included review of geotechnical literature and data including geologic maps, regional fault maps, State seismic hazard maps and seismic data; geo- logic and seismic hazard analysis; and preparation of a geotechnical report presenting findings relative to potential impacts for the project. Significant potential geologic impacts evaluated for the project included strong earthquake ground shaking and potential liquefaction hazard. Our analyses for the airport site in- dicated a potential for settlement induced by dynamic compaction of relatively dry soil layers above the historic high groundwater from strong ground motion during a seismic event. Our report provided miti- gation recommendations for design consideration to render geotechnical concerns and impacts to less than significant for the identified CEQA thresholds. Mitigation concepts to be implemented included struc- tural design, in -situ ground modification, or supporting foundations with piles at depths designed specifically for seismically induced settlement.

Tel: 7170 Michael Baker stands ready to demonstrate our financial strength, staff Email: l: JBellalas@mbakerintl.com resources, and capability to perform services for the City of Santa Clarita Community Development Department, Planning Division upon acceptance of this Proposal. In addition to the many layers of professional staff working on projects, Michael Baker has senior management staff, project management staff, technical editing staff, geographic information services (GIS) staff, creative services staff, information technology (IT) staff, administrative support staff, and company principals, who oversee all projects to ensure client satisfaction. Because of the firm's size, we can provide equally trained and experienced project staff as backup, replacement, or additions to any project team to meet the City's needs. The majority of the work under this contract will be completed by our staff in the Long Beach office, with support from our offices throughout California. Michael Baker has a rich heritage as a planning and engineering firm specializing in engineering design, planning, architecture, environmental, construction, program management, and full life -cycle support services, as well as information technology and communications solutions. The firm provides a host of differentiated and innovative services that enhance client projects worldwide. Michael Baker acquired legacy firms RBF Consulting in October 2011 and PMC in February 2015. With the addition of RBF's and PMC's local resources, we bring seasoned staffing and local project experience to the City. Michael Baker is locally recognized as a leader in the areas of environmental analysis and compliance, regulatory permitting, mitigation monitoring, and public outreach. Understanding of Need Michael Baker understands that the City is seeking qualified firms to provide as -needed environmental planning services to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for developer and City projects. These services may include, but would not be limited to, reviewing and/or preparing technical studies and CEQA documents for development projects proposed by private entitlement applicants (e.g., applications for entitlements); preparing technical studies and CEQA documents for the City, including annexations, code amendments, and other policies and programs; implementing CEQA documents through mitigation monitoring and related services; and conducting field monitoring services, as needed. These projects are managed by the City's Community Development Department, Planning Division. The need for these services stems from the City's considerable expansion resulting from development and annexations over the last several years. Michael Baker has selected an in-house team of CEQA specialists, biologists, cultural resources specialists, hazardous materials specialists, and mitigation monitoring and reporting specialists, which will lead to efficiency and the ability to meet the needs of the City's Planning Division in the coming years. We recognize the City has an individual set of programs and needs. The Michael Baker team will engage with - -- 2 1 N T Ek N AT 10N AI. you to be sure that we understand your intended role for a partner. Michael Baker will be available for in-house consultation or to act as your representative at local meetings or when coordinating with resource agencies. Michael Baker is proposing to provide the City with all of the deliverables included in the City's Request for Proposals, including: • Technical Reports, such as those reports analyzing private development projects and/or City projects. These reports may include analyses of aesthetics and visual impacts, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, noise, transportation and traffic, and wildland fire; • Peer Review of Applicant -Provided Technical Reports, such as detailed reviews to determine if technical reports submitted by entitlement applicants are technically accurate and sufficient for a CEQA document; • CEQA Documents, such as Notices of Exemption, including supporting memorandum and technical studies; Initial Studies and corresponding Negative Declarations or Mitigated Negative Declarations; Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs); EIR Addenda and Subsequent and Supplemental EIRs; and • Mitigation Monitoring Services and Reports, such as providing periodic updates to MMRPs for projects in implementation and providing field services as required. General Approach Michael Baker's approach to providing environmental planning services to the City's Planning Division is to first and foremost work collaboratively with City staff to produce CEQA documents that are legally defensible, aid the City in the decision -making process, and meet the City's needs in terms of quality, budget, and schedule. To accomplish these objectives, Michael Baker's approach is founded on the following principles: 1. Draw upon our extensive experience preparing CEQA documents for the City of Santa Clarita and for similar projects in other cities to identify and address the key issues early in the process to prevent delays and setbacks. 2. Ensure technically adequate and complete environmental analyses. 3. Create reader -friendly CEQA documents that use a combination of narrative, figures, photographs, maps, tables, and other visual aids to help the reader understand the environmental consequences of the project. 4. Establish and achieve milestone/critical path project schedules. 5. Openly communicate with Planning Division staff to ensure the City's desires are met and expectations are exceeded. Michael Baker has extensive experience working on controversial projects in politically active communities. In addition to Santa Clarita, examples include Los Angeles (e.g., Hollywood, downtown Los Angeles), Rolling Hills Estates, Pasadena, South Pasadena, Santa Monica, Signal Hill, Long Beach, and Arcadia. We have prepared CEQA documents for multiple projects in these areas. With this experience, we are highly adept at responding to comments, both in writing and during public meetings/hearings. Moreover, when working with such cities and communities, we regularly strategize with our clients on potential issues and develop approaches to minimize risks and potential pitfalls. Contracting with Michael Baker Michael Baker has reviewed the sample professional services agreement that will be used by the City of Santa Clarita for On -Call Environmental Planning Services. Upon selection of this proposal, we would respectfully request consideration of the following limited comments to certain terms by the City: 1. Section 4, "Payments" — A measurable timeline for payment of invoices is requested as follows: "CITY shall pay CONSULTANT within thirty (30) days of receipt of CONSULTANT's monthly invoice." - 3 1 N T E H N A T 1 0 N AL F SR. 6 �o 4� r 2. Section 10, "Schedule of Performance and Extensions" — Paragraph B under this clause both duplicates and contradicts the "Delay" clause found in Section 38 of the contract. We request removal of Paragraph B, and as regards the difference between the advance notice terms in each of the clauses, 48 hours to notify of any delays could be too short of a period, and the fifteen days stated under the Delay clause seems too long a period. A reasonable compromise is requested, such as three business days. 3. Section 20, "Indemnification and Liability" — Michael Baker will be responsible for any errors we make, but cannottake on financial responsibility for the actions or errors of parties outside our control. We need to ensure that any duty to indemnify can be insured by professional liability insurance, which is the most important insurance to our clientele and to our firm for the professional services we perform. For this reason, we request modification of this clause to: "CONSULTANT shall indemnify and hold harmless CITY and its officers, agents, departments, officials, representatives and employees (collectively "Indemnitees") from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, injury (including injury to or death of an employee of CONSULTANT or its subconsultants), expense and liability of every kind, nature and description that arise from or relate to (including, court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, litigation expenses and fees of expert consultants or expert witnesses incurred in connection therewith and costs of investigation) to the extent caused by: (1) any negligent act or omission of CONSULTANT, any subconsultant, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them, or anyone that they control; (2) any actual or alleged infringement of the patent rights, copyright, trade secret, trade name, trademark, service mark or any other intellectual or proprietary right of any person or persons in consequence of the use by CITY, or any other Indemnitee, of articles or Services to be supplied in the performance of this Agreement ((However, CONSULTANT will not indemnify CITY if the suit or claim results from: (a) CITY's alteration of a deliverable, in that such alteration created the infringement upon any presently existing U.S. letters patent or copyright or (b) the use of a deliverable in combination with other material not provided by CONSULTANT when it is such use in combination which infringes upon an existing U.S. letters patent or copyright); or (3) any material breach of this Agreement (collectively "Liabilities"). Such obligations to hold harmless and indemnify any Indemnitee shall not apply to the extent such Liabilities are caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee but shall apply to all other Liabilities. The foregoing shall be subject to the limitations of California Civil Code section 2782.8 as to any design professional services performed by CONSULTANT and in particular the limitation on CONSULTANT's duty to hold harmless and indemnify whereby such duty only arises for claims relating to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT as well as the limitation on the cost to defend whereby CONSULTANT will only bear such cost in proportion to CONSULTANT's proportionate percentage of fault (except as otherwise provided in section 2782.8). The foregoing indemnification provisions will not reduce or affect other rights or obligations which would otherwise exist in favor of the CITY and other Indemnitees. CONSULTANT shall place in its sub -consulting agreements and cause its subconsultants to agree to indemnities and insurance obligations in favor of CITY and other Indemnitees in the exact form and substance of those contained in this Agreement." 4. Addition of a new Section 42 to address circumstances which can be outside of the control of both parties: "42. WAIVER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. In no event shall either Party have any claim or right against the other, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages or any kind or nature whatsoever, such as but not limited to loss of revenue, loss of profits on revenue, loss of customers or contracts, loss of use of equipment or loss of data, work interruption, increased cost of work or cost of any financing, howsoever caused, even if same were reasonably foreseeable." _ - 4 1 N T E RN AT 10 N AL -- QUALIFICATIONS With more than 40 years of environmental planning experience, Michael Baker has a wide range of experience providing environment planning services to public agencies in compliance with CEQA and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

Topics that he has instructed have included the CEQA process, preparation of initial studies, analysis of environmental impacts, legislative and case law updates, CEQA trends, and the drafting of enforceable mitigation measures. Statewide CEQA Experience with a Local Focus: We regularly observe and evaluate the best environmental planning practices being used in California and implement these effective practices. We are highly suited to continue to bring this unique experience, knowledge, and perspective on environmental consulting services to the City. Our breadth of experience, depth of knowledge, and local perspective, as evidenced above, make Michael Baker ideally suited to continue to provide environmental consulting services to the City. The following paragraphs detail Michael Baker's qualifications specific to the services requested by the City and described in the Scope of Work. 1 N T E H N A T 1 0 N AL Technical Reports and Peer Review Michael Baker is a multidisciplinary firm that has extensive expertise preparing nearly all of the technical studies that the Planning Division may request in support of a project's environmental review. This includes but is not limited to visual impact analyses; air quality and greenhouse gas emissions analyses; energy studies; biological resources assessments; natural environment studies; cultural and tribal resources assessments; Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs); hydrology and water quality studies; noise analyses; traffic/transportation studies; water supply assessments; and utility infrastructure studies. In short, we provide essentially all of the services needed to respond to the technical topics in the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G checklist, including, not limited to: Air Quality/Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analyses We prepare a full range of air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions analyses for public and private sector clients, in accordance with local, state, and federal impact assessment criteria. Our staff is trained in using state -of -the art computer models and assessment protocols developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Caltrans, and air pollution control districts throughout the state. The computer models include the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod), EMFAC, CALINE, and AERMOD. These modeling techniques, together with land use and project -specific data, allow us to quantify existing and estimate future criteria pollutants associated with a project. We also prepare Windrose maps and use BREEZE air dispersion software to analyze carbon monoxide hot spots and localized emissions impacts. We prepare air quality analyses for environmental documents as well as stand-alone studies. With expertise in all project aspects and phases, including short-term construction emissions and long-term operational emissions, our staff develops the mitigation measures necessary to reduce or avoid project and cumulative air quality impacts. We have extensive experience in the preparation of health risk assessments, as well as peer reviews of air quality studies prepared by separate entities. Additionally, we prepare GHG emissions analyses which provide an inventory of the emissions (i.e., nitrous oxide, methane, and carbon dioxide) from both direct (i.e., area and mobile sources) and indirect sources (i.e., energy/water consumption and wastewater/solid waste generation). Biological Resources Assessments Michael Baker staff have extensive experience conducting general biological surveys, habitat suitability assessments, botanical inventories, jurisdictional delineations, technical peer reviews, and assisting both public and private sector clients in compliance with a range of environmental regulations, including CEQA and the state and federal Endangered Species Act. In addition, Michael Baker staff have experience processing state and federal regulatory permits pursuant to Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act, the California Porter - Cologne Water Quality Control Act, and Section 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code. Our firm's experience includes conducting California Rapid Assessment Method (CRAM) analyses, biological monitoring surveys, nesting bird clearance surveys, oak tree surveys, and focused surveys for burrowing owl and least Bell's vireo. Cultural Resources Analyses Michael Baker's cultural resources expertise is called on for a multitude of project types, including built environment and archaeological surveys; archaeological monitoring and excavation; tribal consultation; historic context development; National Register, California Register, and local register evaluations and nominations; and compliance documentation necessary to address the requirements of CEQA. We complete all types of cultural resources studies, including identification and evaluation studies, finding of effect documents, archaeological monitoring plans, memorandum of agreements, and programmatic agreements, all in consultation with applicable agency staff and the State Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). We can also complete mitigation documentation such as HABS/HAER/HALS and develop interpretive signage. In addition to project -specific studies, we are adept at completing preemptive historic resource identification, including reconnaissance level surveys to identify significant property types within a region for the purposes of preservation. --- -- 7 INTERNATIONAL - - Phase I Environmental Assessments Phase I Environmental Assessments evaluate the potential for hazardous materials on a site based upon readily discernible and/or documented present and historical uses of the property. In accordance with ASTM standards, the Michael Baker team can provide a full range of assessments of potentially impacted properties. Noise and Vibration Impact Analyses Michael Baker's noise control services include community noise studies, construction and operational noise monitoring and control, inspection and noise testing, and construction vibration impact analyses. All noise control studies involve analyzing or projecting the noise levels generated by a source, determining the level of reduction desired, and recommending mitigation measures to achieve the criterion levels. Noise monitoring equipment maintained by the firm includes state-of-the-art automated digital test equipment and certified calibration equipment. Our extensive inventory of noise monitoring equipment thoroughly evaluates noise impacts for our clients in both community and industrial settings. Traffic and Transportation Analyses Michael Baker provides transportation planning and traffic engineering. We understand the local and unique process and requirements involved in transportation planning projects, most specifically transportation impact analysis reports and mobility assessments. We have prepared transportation impact analysis reports for a wide variety of projects including retail, office, commercial, and residential. Our team has been involved in the preparation of transportation impact studies for large, complex, multiuse developments throughout California and has the resources both locally and regionally to support the City. In addition to preparing transportation impact analysis reports, our team provides extension of staff and third -party review services to jurisdictions throughout the state. SB 743 reconsiders how we look at transportation impacts on the environment, including shifting from evaluating vehicle delay to vehicle miles traveled (VMT). This new metric evaluates the benefits of mixing land uses in urban and suburban environments to reduce trip lengths, which in turn provides for improved air quality and other environmental factors. In addition, the shift will require consideration for transportation demand management (TDM) strategies, such as transit improvements, pedestrian and bicycle enhancements, and other measures to reduce VMT, which will lead to improved transportation options into the future. Our transportation planning team is committed to sustainable enhancements and believes that multimodal transportation systems are essential to successfully developing the livable communities of the future. Peer Review Services Michael Baker is commonly requested by our local agency clients to peer review applicant -provided studies. We review each study for technical best practices and applicable regulatory requirements to ensure the reports are legally defensible. Michael Baker provides peer review services to multiple cities in Southern California, including the City of Pasadena and City of Los Angeles, where CEQA and technical experts review EIRs, Environmental Assessments, Initial Studies, and technical studies for technical and legal adequacy, as well as for inclusion of best practices and compliance with local, regional, and state regulations. Environmental Documents Michael Baker brings seasoned staff and local project experience to the City. Michael Baker staff are highly experienced in preparing Categorical Exemptions (CEs), Initial Studies, NDs/MNDs, Sustainable Community Environmental Assessments (SCEAs), and EIRs. Michael Baker staff have extensive experience with all steps in the CEQA process, including the following: ■ Preparing Initial Studies leading to Negative Declarations, Mitigated Negative Declarations, and Notices of Preparation of an EIR -- -- g INTERNATIONAL ` ■ Preparing and circulating CEQA notices (e.g., Notice of Intent to Adopt an ND/MND, Notice of Preparation, Notice of Availability of a Draft EIR, Notice of Completion, and Notice of Determination ■ Conducting Scoping Meetings ■ Preparation of technical studies and environmental analyses ■ Completion of Draft EIRs ■ Circulation of Draft EIRs ■ Responding to agency and public comments on the Draft EIRs and other CEQA documents ■ Preparation of Final EIRs ■ Preparing Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Programs ■ Preparing CEQA Findings and Statements of Overriding Considerations) ■ Presenting at public hearings/meetings considering CEQA documents Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Michael Baker staff have provided mitigation monitoring and reporting services to municipal clients throughout California.

These assignments are detailed in the preceding section. Michael Baker PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND QA/QC General Approach Given the diversity of environmental resources and stakeholders in Santa Clarita, the City's CEQA documents must consider a full range of environmental topics and be comprehensive enough to engage a dynamic project entitlement process that could include multiple decision - making and advisory bodies. Additionally, CEQA documents must be able to stand up to scrutiny by an engaged citizenry and active organizations, as well as special interest groups. Michael Baker focuses on preparing legally defensible and reader -friendly documents that fulfill CEQA's purposes of disclosing environmental impacts to the public and decision -makers while also identifying ways to reduce or avoid such impacts. Our analytical practices are based on sound methodology, and we continually refine the content of our CEQA documents to match the latest legislation and case law. Principal -in -Charge Al Warot will provide contract oversight and support, ensuring the Michael Baker team has the resources it needs to serve the City successfully and effectively. If warranted, Mr. Warot will provide public hearing support and sit in for the program manager, in the event they have a conflict. This ensures the availability of either the program manager or principal -in-charge for project meetings. Program Manager John Bellas will serve as the primary contact to the City and coordinate with the City on all task orders. Mr. Bellas will work with the City to identify an appropriate leader (project manager) for each task. He will be supported by a team of local and qualified technical staff. In addition to Mr. Bellas, Michael Baker has a deep bench of CEQA project managers available to support the City, including Madonna Marcelo, Randy Nichols, Alan Ashimine, and Pei -Ming Chou. Each task will be appropriately supported by additional CEQA practitioners, an assistant project manager, technical specialists, and administrative staff. Below is a description of Michael Baker's general method of project management and procedures for ensuring the quality of technical analyses and environmental documents. Project Management Our project managers and technical experts subscribe to a philosophy that is rooted in consistent open communication, responsiveness, and high -quality service. We place a strong emphasis on the consultant -client partnership based on effective communication and a detailed understanding of the City's overall goals, which provide a clear path to success on each and every assignment. We will always be available to Planning Division staff and quick to respond with a strategy and an appropriately scoped approach to any task by drawing on our expertise and a team of experienced environmental professionals. When developing a strategy, we always seek the most cost-effective and schedule -sensitive approach that provides our clients with the proper level of defensibility. We regularly look beyond the norm to identify innovative and streamlined approaches to complying with environmental and regulatory permitting requirements. We recognize that every agency has nuances that must be addressed for them to accept the analysis. So, we ask questions first, learn as much as we can about the project description, then scope the assignment appropriately. This eliminates last-minute surprises, opens communication early in the project, and minimizes the need to change scopes, budgets, or timelines. During our initial review of any project, we focus on the issues applicable to the project (i.e., how the other relevant documents address environmental issues that may not need to be addressed). Further, since each project is different, we configure the project team to bring only the necessary resources to the project. This approach ensures that the City pays only for those personnel essential to the project, and we will only assign qualified staff members who have time to commit to the assignment. Before we start each work task, Michael Baker will coordinate with the City to obtain key project information and develop an appropriate scope, schedule, and fee for the work. No work will occur without prior authorization, and no work effort will exceed our estimate without approval. Control of the project schedule and project costs is an important element of contract administration. Michael Baker will inform _ - -- 19 INTERNATIUNAL _ -- the City as soon as any event occurs that would affect the established budget or project timeline. Michael Baker's adherence to the original scope of work, timeline, and budget is achieved through timely, open/honest, and continuous communications with City staff. Michael Baker has a proven track record of meeting established project timelines and schedules. We do this by working efficiently in the following ways: ■ We establish realistic schedules, in consultation with our clients, that are typically based on our experience with comparable projects. ■ We apply a variety of tracking tools for timely milestone delivery. ■ We use available data to the extent feasible. ■ We avoid unnecessary analyses and data collection. ■ We produce quality documents that get it right the first time to avoid endless rewrites and revisions. ■ We start by knowing when we want to finish the project and working our way back to a reasonable, feasible schedule. We are accustomed to providing deliverables on an accelerated timetable, a practice enabled by the high level of internal collaboration among staff at Michael Baker and by the depth of staff resources available to a given project. Our staff members not only solve problems by staying cognizant of project details and technical issues and applying resources to creatively resolve any difficulties or issues that may arise during the process, but are also experienced at asking the right questions, drawing on in- house resources when needed, and providing effective resolutions that comply with applicable regulations and respond to any issue at hand. Our goal is to facilitate the environmental review, technical study preparation, and mitigation monitoring and report processes. In short, the early identification and resolution of critical issues are imperative to keep a project on track and on schedule. Based on the above project management approach, we will proactively deal with potential variances from the schedule, early and intelligently, before they become a problem. As part of our issue/risk management technique, our project managers and task leaders will communicate to Planning Division staff the impact of any schedule changes necessitated by circumstances outside of our control before or as they occur. These project management tools and techniques will result in constant vigilance over schedule and budget performance and consistent communications, with no surprises to the City. Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) In addition, to maintain high -quality service for every assignment, we have established an active quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program. Quality of project deliverables implies numerical accuracy, internal consistency, and conformance to specified methods and project performance or operational standards. Key elements of our QA/QC program include the following: ■ Assignment of highly experienced technical and management personnel. ■ Assignment of highly qualified staff, who have proven experience in project administration, planning, and agency and environmental coordination, as well as resource agency coordination. ■ Assignment of staff with local experience and knowledge of key local issues. ■ Coordination among team members, including clear direction on assignments, consistent communication of project status, and use of standard templates and style guides to ensure efficient development of the documents. Specific to the preparation of legally defensible technical reports and environmental documents, Michael Baker ensures document quality by adhering to the following QA/QC steps: - _ -- — 20 INTERNATIONAL -� ■ Technical reports and technical sections of environmental documents are reviewed by senior staff knowledgeable in the topic (e.g., biological resources director, principal land use planner) for technical accuracy and completeness. ■ After technical sections are approved by senior staff, they are reviewed by the project management team (project manager and assistant project manager) for accuracy in addressing the specifics of the project, meeting client expectations, and compliance with the scope of work. ■ After the project management team review, technical sections are reviewed by senior environmental QC staff, who review for adequacy associated with current case law and as a set of "clean eyes" since this staff is not directly working on the project. ■ The final review consists of a thorough read -through by Michael Baker's technical editor, who checks for consistency in use of terms, facts, references, grammar, spelling, style, and document format. Because of our firm's philosophy and the range and depth of our team's experience, we are confident that we can meet the City's needs for services related to environmental documentation, technical studies, and mitigation monitoring and reporting. ---— 21 IN TERN AT FUNAL PERSONNEL, EQUIPMENT, AND FACILITIES We have carefully selected highly qualified professionals with demonstrated experience for future assignment with the City's Planning Division.

CountyofLosAngeles Departmentof Regional Planning Project Manager. Ms. Marcelo managed the preparation of an EIR for the construction of a mixed -use, transit -oriented infill development on the northern portion of downtown Los Angeles. The project consisted of a lease agreement between the County of Los Angeles and the LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes Foundation to permit the development and use of a mixed -use project. The project involved a mixed -use, transit -oriented inf ill development totaling approximately 425,000 square feet (sf), including up to 345 residential units (for lease) with 20 percent of the units reserved as affordable units, together with up to 55,000 sf of visitor -serving retail, including, but not limited to, a restaurant, a cafe, other food services, and a "commissary" or shared commercial kitchen space for culinary demonstrations and use by small businesses. A key project feature was the extension through the project site of the existing Historic Paseo (pedestrian trail) from Union Station to Olvera Street and the already planned extension from Olvera Street to LA Plaza Park, the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument, and the LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes (proposed as part of the LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes project). Key issues of concern included cultural resources due the project site's proximity to the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic District and traffic.

The City is preparing this plan to consider how land use regulations can foster building design and a mix of uses around the transit stations that will encourage transit use and improve mobility for everyone. The ECTNP would regulate allowable land uses; building intensity/floor area ratio (FAR) and height; open space requirements; building form and design; and street dimensions. Based on the type and intensity of future land uses proposed, the ECTNP would require projects to provide a variety of public benefits, including publicly accessible open space, vehicle trip reduction, transit amenities, off -site streetscape improvements, and affordable housing. The ECTNP would also regulate the development review process and include simplified procedures for projects that are in full compliance with the ECTNP.

Dayton Street Pasadena, CA 91105 2,68 February 25, 2020 Ms. Melody Bartlette City of Santa Clarita 23920 Valencia Blvd. Santa Clarita, CA 91335-2196 Re:City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services / RFP No. PL-19-20-14 Dear Ms. Bartlette: SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA)—a 100% employee -owned corporation —is pleased to submit our proposal to the City of Santa Clarita (City) Community Development Department to provide On -Call Environmental Planning Services. SWCA's project team is highly experienced and well -prepared to assist the City in meeting its environmental and regulatory challenges. We understand that the City's robust housing construction market and growing population needs cost-effective, efficient, and legally defensible solutions to preserve unique local environmental resources and maintain the quality of life for its residents. Our team will deliver the comprehensive set of skills required to provide decision makers with unbiased and technically sound environmental documents that allow for the informed implementation of development projects in established cities, such as Santa Clarita, that are growing through both infill development and continued annexation. This development scenario requires the knowledgeable evaluation of a broader range of environmental issues than is needed in built -out cities that grow only through urban in -fill development. Our experience in this realm is derived from our existing projects in the City, as well as through our on -call contracts with cities and counties undergoing similar growth patterns, including the cities of San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, Adelanto, and Thousand Oaks. We will also apply our relevant expertise from our on -call contracts with Southern California Edison, the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering, the Port of Los Angeles, and the Metropolitan Water District. Under these on -call contracts, our team has successfully managed, prepared, or supported the environmental documents for a range of project types that are likely under this On -Call Environmental Planning Services contract, including specific plans that propose greenfield development and land annexation, the preparation and update of effective general and specific plans, subdivision and tract maps, capital infrastructure projects to accommodate planned and projected growth patterns, and urban infill projects in developed areas. SWCA will provide the City with the complete suite of environmental planning services requested by RFP No. PL-19-20-14: Technical Reports and Peer Review. Our team can prepare, guide, and peer review the full suite of technical studies required to support the environmental clearance process. Our local Pasadena staff of more than 120 environmental professionals will provide the City with the flexibility, capability, and capacity to complete multiple simultaneous task orders for projects of almost any type. We propose to prepare technical studies to support the City, including, but not limited to: aesthetics analysis, shade/shadow models, and photo -simulations; air quality, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and odor assessments; biological resources evaluations; energy studies; Page 2 health risk assessments; historic resource evaluations; archaeological and paleontological investigations; geotechnical investigations; hazardous materials investigation (including environmental site assessments); hydrology and water quality studies; noise and groundborne vibration studies; public services impacts analysis; transportation and traffic studies; utilities and service systems impacts assessments; and wildfire risk assessments. Our staff have led California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) sessions at CEQA workshops, conferences, and university college classes, and we are available to provide similar training to City staff. To provide this comprehensive suite of services, we have supplemented our extensive team of in-house specialists with a tailored group of trusted subconsultants. We have teamed with Ambient Air Quality & Noise (Ambient), who has been providing technical studies in the fields of air quality, GHG emissions, health risk assessment, energy use, and noise and groundborne vibration for over 28 years. We have also called on one of the nation's most respected engineering firms, Kleinfelder, Inc., to prepare, support, and peer review studies pertaining to geotechnical resources, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, and utilities and service systems. We have tapped our frequent and extremely competent teaming partner, Kittelson & Associates, Inc, to support, guide, prepare, and peer review transportation and traffic impact studies. Lastly, we have supplemented our internal team of biological resources specialists (already one of the most robust in California) with Compliance Biology, Inc., led by Owner and Principal Biologist Dave Crawford, a biologist with decades of local experience working throughout the Santa Clarita Valley. • Environmental Documents, For over 20 years, SWCA's environmental planning practice has been a statewide leader in the preparation of CEQA and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents, and their supporting technical studies. Continuing our established reputation for quality, our project managers, environmental planners, and technical specialists will provide the City with cost-effective, legally defensible, and innovative CEQA documents, supporting technical studies, Notices, Findings, Statements of Overriding Considerations, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Programs (MMRPs) for the range of project types expected under this On -Call Environmental Planning Services contract. As a full -service environmental consulting firm with one of our largest offices in Pasadena, California, SWCA provides the entire suite of CEQA documents that may be requested by the City, including Categorical Exemptions (CEs), Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessments (SCEAs), Initial Studies (ISs), Negative Declarations/Mitigated Negative Declarations (NDs/MNDs), and Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs), as well as Addenda and Supplemental CEQA documents that tier off these documents. If requested, SWCA's team will provide the City with qualified project managers, environmental planners, and technical specialists to support City staff at public outreach and community meetings, neighborhood groups, and community stakeholders, or at public hearings before the Planning Commission and/or the City Council, including through the provision of expert testimony. • Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting. When required by a project's CEQA document, SWCA will prepare an effective MMRP for the project in compliance with Section 21081.6 of the California Public Resources Code. For ease of use, the MMRP will be prepared in a matrix format, will provide the timing and entity responsible for each mitigation measure, and will include the City department or individual responsible for verification that the mitigation measure has been implemented. SWCA's Natural Resource Group can provide biologists to protect and monitor open space and sensitive resources during project design and build -out and implement required sensitive species, habitat restoration, and open space monitoring mitigation measures required in project -specific MMRPs. Similarly, our Cultural Resources Group can provide qualified archaeologists and paleontologists to monitor ground -disturbing activities in sensitive areas and keep project construction on track and in compliance with applicable regulations. Page 3 Expertise Providing Lead Agency Support for On -Call Services SWCA has a proven ability and reputation for preparing thorough, accurate, objective, and legally defensible CEQA and NEPA documents. Using knowledge gained from our existing on -call contracts where we serve as an extension of city staff and oversee the preparation of environmental documents, SWCA will provide City staff with guidance and strategic input to determine the appropriate CEQA document, recommend the proper supporting technical studies and methodology of analysis, and develop uniquely strategic, cost-effective, and efficient solutions for the preparation of legally defensible documents. These efforts will help streamline analyses, reduce entitlement costs, and improve legal defensibility. When requested, we will also serve as the point of contact for coordination with other agencies, such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Work provided under this contract will be managed out of our Pasadena office at 51 West Dayton Street, Pasadena, California, 91105, allowing us to act as an extension of City staff and quickly respond to project needs. Our local Pasadena staff will be supported by our San Luis Obispo, San Diego, San Francisco, Half Moon Bay, and Sacramento offices, when justified by the circumstances of a task order. John Dietler, Ph.D., SWCA's Southern California Vice President and a Registered Professional Archaeologist (RPA), will serve as the Principal -in -Charge of this On -Call Environmental Planning Services contract and will be responsible for ensuring that SWCA's resources are available to the City for ongoing task orders. Dr. Dietler brings more than 23 years of experience as an environmental consultant and has successfully managed numerous large on -call contracts for public and private clients. Shawn Gaver, M.A., Senior Project Manager and Environmental Planner, will serve as Program Manager and day-to-day point of contact for ongoing task orders.

SWCA offers local expertise and can rapidly pool resources from our California offices as needed to efficiently provide the City with the full suite of requested services, from project inception to completion. CEQA COMPLIANCE SWCA's primary area of expertise in California is providing CEQA documentation. SWCA is known for preparing objective, technically sound, legally defensible, and clearly written environmental documents to enable approval and timely implementation of both public and private projects. SWCA's Pasadena office will live up to our reputation and apply high level of competency in producing quality deliverables and preparing all levels of CEQA documents and supporting technical studies, from Categorical Exemptions (CEs), Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessments (SCEAs), Initial Studies (IS), and Negative Declarations/Mitigated Negative Declarations (NDs/MNDs) to full Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs), as well as Addenda and Supplemental CEQA documents that tier off these documents. Our experienced planners have completed hundreds of top -shelf, IL legally defensible CEQA documents for a wide range of projects in a variety of jurisdictions throughout California, including on -call services for the City and Port of Los Angeles; the Ventura Port District; the City, County, and Port of San Diego; the City and County of San Francisco; and the cities of San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, South San Francisco, South Pasadena, Adelanto, Vallejo, Thousand Oaks, and Half Moon Bay. We also hold on - call service agreements with utilities including the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering, the Port of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Metropolitan Wastewater District, and Southern ■ California Edison. SWCA was named one of the Top 10 Pure Environmental Firms by Engineering News Record in 2019 and has won three Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP) "Outstanding Environmental Document" awards. SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services Our professionals have completed projects of all types and sizes, including subdivision and tract maps; general, specific, and area plans (including those that support annexation); residential, commercial, retail, office, mixed -use, and industrial land development applications; capital improvement projects for transportation, electricity transmission, water, and infrastructure projects; public works capital improvement projects; wineries; parks and open space; cannabis operations; water resources; telecommunication projects; energy production and distribution; transportation; pipelines, fiber-optic cables, and other linear ' projects; landfills; community wildfire protection plans; and natural resources management plans. SWCA strives to identify and focus on key issues to ensure CEQA documentation is not overly complicated or lengthy. Our analysis for non -critical (and non -controversial) issues will identify substantial evidence to ensure legal defensibility but will be presented in a concise and summarized manner. Critical issue areas will be supported by technical reports and documentation, as necessary to adequately address the issue. SWCA will identify any significant unavoidable adverse impacts at the earliest possible time to allow City staff, as the lead agency, and the applicant, as appropriate, time to re-evaluate the project internally and make a determination to either work on a modified project design or elevate the level of review to an EIR. We often assist lead agencies through this process, to determine the most efficient way to avoid significant impacts, if feasible. We will coordinate closely with the City staff (and applicant, if directed to do so by the City) to ensure mitigation measures, verification methods, and timing are appropriately aligned with the City's processes. NEPA COMPLIANCE SWCA IDENTIFIES AND COMMUNICATES SIGNIFICANT UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE IMPACTS AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE TIME, TO ALLOW FOR PROJECT DESIGN RE-EVALUATION. Although not requested by the RFP, SWCA can apply our expertise in NEPA compliance and review to prepare NEPA documentation or training seminars for the City. We have completed joint CEQA/NEPA documents, "CEQA-Plus", and stand-alone NEPA documents for local jurisdictions receiving funding from federal agencies. Our California offices have completed dozens of NEPA documents for the same project types as addressed by CEQA. In addition, SWCA staff have experience preparing complex NEPA reviews for federal land agencies such as the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service (USFS), U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of Defense in California. Near the City, SWCA is currently assisting the USFS with NEPA documentation and implementation of habitat restoration projects at five locations along the San Francisquito Canyon Creek in the Angeles National Forest. SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services CEQA AND NEPA PEER REVIEW SWCA has a proven ability and reputation for preparing thorough, accurate, objective, and legally defensible CEQA and NEPA documents. As a result, we are frequently called upon by city attorneys, legal counsel of private developers, and senior planning staff to peer review and offer guidance on the accuracy, readability, and CEQA/NEPA compliance of documents prepared by other consultants and technical experts. For example, at the recent request of a Northern California county's legal counsel, SWCA is conducting peer review of the CEQA and NEPA documentation for the Klamath Dam decommissioning project, along with technical studies. The project is highly contentious and technically difficult due to the varied interests of local landowners, conservationists, hydroelectric facility operators, and a variety of federal, state, and local agencies. We also recently completed peer review of an MND related to a ferry landing on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. SWCA also holds several contracts to comprehensively administer the CEQA process for agencies, including preparing staff reports and presentations, and preparing and implementing mitigation monitoring and reporting programs (MMRPs). For instance, several of our planners currently serve in the contract planner role under our On -Call Planning and Environmental Review Contract with the City of San Luis Obispo and on our On -Call Contract to provide On -Call Planning Support to the City of Paso Robles. We will call on this experience to provide the City with peer review, guidance, options, opinions, and strategies related to environmental issues for task orders under this contract. TECHNICAL STUDIES AND ANALYSES In addition to preparing CEQA and NEPA documents, SWCA and our subconsultants will be available to provide stand-alone technical studies required to support the environmental review process. Depending on the needs of each task order request, our team will provide studies for a range of technical specialties, including but not limited to those discussed below. With more than 120 technical specialists in our Pasadena office, we will provide the City with one of the most robust technical teams in the region. The technical studies completed for this on -call contract will be prepared in accordance with the methodology and Thresholds of Significance defined in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines, the City, and any applicable regional agencies, such as the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), and the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB). SWCA recognizes that utilizing existing information to the maximum extent feasible, including technical reports previously prepared for a proposed project or other similar or adjacent projects, can save time and reduce costs. It is also important that the methodology and results used to prepare prior reports are valid and can be incorporated into a project -specific CEQA document. As early in the process as possible, SWCA technical staff, or subconsultants, review technical reports and, after discussing issues with various resource agencies involved, identify any deficiencies. Performing this step early in the process allows the project team to ensure that technical issues would not unnecessarily delay the preparation of the CEQA document. SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services AESTHETICS ANALYSIS, SHADE/SHADOW MODELING, AND VISUAL SIMULATIONS The SWCA visual resources team consists of graphics, GIS, and computer modeling specialists; landscape architecture and environmental planning specialists; and field specialists familiar with preparing and documenting visual character analyses, assessing shade/shadow impacts, and preparing project "mock- ups" and photosimulations for consideration by decision makers and interested parties. Through the strategic selection of key viewpoints and preparation of precise, calibrated visual models, our high -resolution graphics, shade/shadow figures, and photosimulations are frequently praised for their ease of use when informing design revisions or developing mitigation measures. When requested by the City, SWCA will prepare photo -realistic visualizations that provide realistic views of a proposed project in its environmental setting. These visualizations will illustrate potential visual impacts, guide the mitigation development process, and can be revised to illustrate mitigation application and visual impact reductions. The SWCA visual team has worked on all levels of projects, from small public art installations to large-scale projects affecting the viewshed of broad landscapes. Our visual resource experience has been applied to inventory, feasibility, pre -construction, construction and operation, post - construction, maintenance, and reclamation/rehabilitation projects. SWCA's graphics and GIS specialists are also adept at preparing shade and shadow analyses to evaluate the shading impacts of a proposed project on nearby sensitive receptors. Our specialists utilize the latest software, such as AutoCAD°, to build spatially accurate, 3D models of a project's proposed structures. This model is then used to estimate the shadows that will be cast at specific times in the future beyond the date of a project's completion. Our graphics team typically then prepares maps of the project site and nearby receptors, with each map detailing the simulated shadows in the morning, noon, and afternoon of the Summer Solstice, Winter Solstice, and Fall/Spring Equinox. AIR QUALITY/GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENTS, AND ENERGY USE AND CONSERVATION IMPACT ASSESSMENTS We have teamed with Ambient Air Quality & Noise (Ambient) —a firm with over 28 years of specializing only in the provision of air quality, GHG, energy, and noise and groundborne vibration analyses —to prepare Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Studies, Health Risk Assessments (HRA), and Energy Use and Conservation Impact Assessments. / AIR CIURUFY& NOSE ZONSULTING 4 Ambient was founded in 2004 by Mr. Kurt Legleiter, who has over 25 years of experience related to the assessment of air quality, GHG emissions, energy use, environmental noise, and groundborne vibration impacts.

For the preparation of Air Quality and GHG Emissions Studies, existing conditions and applicable air quality regulatory framework, standards, and significance thresholds will be discussed. The analysis of air quality impacts will be conducted in accordance with SCAQMD's recommended guidance. Accordingly, emissions of criteria air pollutants and GHGs will be quantified using the latest version of the California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMod) computer software. Localized air quality impacts, including emissions of toxic air contaminants (TACs) and odors, will be assessed in accordance with SCAQMD's recommended methodologies. Air quality and GHG impacts will be compared with applicable SCAQMD-recommended significance thresholds for determination of significance. A list of mitigation measures will be prepared for any impacts found to be significant or potentially significant. The effectiveness of proposed mitigation measures will be evaluated and discussed. When warranted by an individual task order, particularly for a project that proposes sensitive uses adjacent to a freeway, our team will prepare a precise and comprehensive HRA based on SCAQMD and City guidelines that models health impacts associated with the emission of TACs and airborne carcinogens to establish a project's carcinogenic and non -carcinogenic chronic air quality health effects. For Energy Use and Conservation Impact Assessments, Ambient will describe existing conditions, including the applicable regulatory framework pertaining to energy conservation and energy suppliers for the project area. Energy use associated with short-term construction and long-term operational activities will be quantified, to the extent possible. To the extent applicable, construction -related energy use will be quantified based, in part, on equipment fuel usage rates to be derived from the CaIEEMod computer program and on - road mobile -source fuel usage rates derived from the EMFAC computer program. Energy use associated with long-term operational activities, including use of electricity, natural gas, and fuels, will be quantified based on project -specific information and data derived from the CaIEEMod and EMFAC computer programs. Project consistency with applicable energy conservation plans will be discussed. Mitigation measures will be identified for potentially significant impacts. The effectiveness of proposed mitigation measures will be evaluated and discussed. If prepared to support a CEQA document, these technical studies will be included as an appendix to the CEQA document.

GEOTEHCNIAL, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND SITE ASSESSMENTS, HYDROLOGY AND WATER STUDIES, & UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS SWCA has teamed with one of the nation's most respected engineering firms, Kleinfelder, Inc. (Kleinfelder), to conduct Geotechnical Studies (geology } and soils), Hazardous Materials and Site Assessments (hazards and er.gnten�ae Rgnrsaaufwns hazardous materials), and Hydrology and Water Quality Reports (hydrology and water quality), and Utilities and Service Systems. Kleinfelder has been connecting great people to the best work since 1961. Their southern California operations include approximately 350 professionals located in six offices. Kleinfelder has extensive experience in providing on -call environmental consulting services to municipalities and preparing CEQA and permitting documents to support both municipal and private development projects. Kleinfelder currently holds current on -call environmental contracts with the City of Los Angeles, including the Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), Caltrans, Port of Los Angeles, Port of San Diego, and Los Angeles County. iKleinfelder's ability to execute multiple projects of various sizes simultaneously, without compromising our quality standards, makes them uniquely qualified to assist SWCA with the provision of on -call services to the City. Our team has extensive experience in providing on -call environmental consulting services to municipalities and preparing CEQA and permitting documents to support both municipal and private development projects. Services integrate the skills and expertise of engineers, geologists, hydrogeologists, hydrologists, scientists and environmental planners who are knowledgeable with the southern California regulatory framework. We offer a variety of environmental engineering services designed to provide technically appropriate and cost- effective solutions, and we prepare legally defensible environmental documents in the manner required by CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines. We find that working closely with a community on a variety of projects over the term of an on -call contract allows us to gain a thorough understanding of local priorities and preferences, which in turn enables us to deliver work products and services highly suited to the community's needs. The relationships we build with our on -call clients are ultimately very rewarding as a result. When beneficial to the environmental clearance process, Kleinfelde- will provide the City with turnkey services, from Geotechnical Studies, Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, remedial investigations, and feasibility studies through regulatory assistance and permitting, economic analysis, remediation design and implementation, monitoring and reporting, as well as hydrodynamic and hydrologic modeling and water quality models. Kleinfelder will also be available to peer review these technical reports prepared by others to ensure they are technically proficient and meet the needs of the project. PasP e SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services To manage the CEQA processes effectively, Kleinfelder will work with SWCA and City staff in balancing the collection of detailed environmental data necessary to comply with CEQA while confirming the applicability and need for any additional state and federal regulatory permits and/or more focused site analysis (e.g., Phase I or Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, stormwater modeling). Kleinfelder's approach facilitates the development of a comprehensive impact analysis while simultaneously identifying the need for any future permit -level analysis and specific mitigation requirements, which streamlines the environmental compliance process and saves costs. Kleinfelder's scientific approach to regulatory compliance facilitates the preparation of legally defensible documents that can withstand public scrutiny and legal challenge. Kleinfelder projects successfully pass review by such agencies as local cities, FTA, Caltrans, LARWQCB, State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), SCAQMD, Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), and the FHWA. Kleinfelder's experience has shown that by proactively incorporating environmental and permitting considerations into the project conceptualization, design, and planning phases at the earliest feasible time, project proponents can reduce and, in some instances, eliminate the need for additional regulatory permits that can add months or even years to project completion schedules and substantially increase project costs. NOISE AND GROUNDBORNE VIBRATION STUDIES SWCA has in-house noise experts who understand noise concerns in urban environments where sources vary from roadways to construction and mechanical equipment. Additionally, SWCA's planners routinely read, peer review, and synthesize background noise studies for inclusion in CEQA documents. For more complex noise and groundborne vibration technical studies, we have called on Ambient to complete noise and groundborne vibration studies when required by individual task orders. SWCA and Ambient have established an efficient relationship through the preparation of technical studies on dozens of projects. For more straightforward Noise and Groundborne Vibration Technical Studies, Ambient will characterize existing conditions through a review of aerial photographs or site visit to identify existing noise sources and noise -sensitive receptors. Noise measurements may also be collected to establish precise baseline noise levels. Technical specialists will then model and analyze a project's demolition, construction, and long-term noise and groundborne vibration levels. The resulting change in noise levels at nearby sensitive uses will then be compared against the thresholds in the City thresholds established by the City's General Plan and Municipal Code. Operational noise from project -generated traffic and stationary sources can also be assessed. Vehicular noise levels will be estimated using the FHWA Noise Prediction Model. If noise or vibration exceeds thresholds, Ambient and SWCA will work with City staff to identify measures that can be implemented to reduce noise and/or vibration to less -than -significant levels. Both SWCA and Ambient are available to peer review noise technical studies prepared by others to ensure they are technically proficient and meet the needs of the project. l'e SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC STUDIES K I TT E LS C� N The City of Santa Clarita Transit and Metrolink provide transit service throughout the City and connect commuters to North Hollywood, ASSOCIATES Century City, and downtown Los Angeles. Nonetheless, personal vehicles remain the primary mode of transportation in Santa Clarita due to the City's suburban density, easy access to the regional freeway network, and limited transit hours of operation. Careful planning, the progressive use of signal technology, transportation demand management (TDM) programs, and an informed understanding of a proposed project's direct and cumulative impacts are essential tools that allow decision makers to maintain the City's transportation network. To provide the City with accurate, project -specific traffic impact analysis that allows the City to maintain the performance and promote the responsible use of its transportation network, SWCA has teamed with Kittelson and Associates, Inc. (Kittelson) to prepare traffic impact studies when requested. Kittelson provides comprehensive transportation engineering, planning, and research services to government agencies and private organizations. Founded in 1985 in Portland, Oregon, and incorporated in 1988, Kittelson comprises 25 offices and a staff of over 200. United by collective expertise, Kittelson's team of skilled professionals and national experts offers decades of progressive research, technological innovation, and a diverse portfolio of industry -leading work. Kittelson's staff brings a demonstrated understanding of transportation and circulation requirements, travel demand modeling, and regional knowledge developed through more than 30 years of project experience in California, including experience with recent general plans and specific plans in both northern and southern California. The firm provides support for all stages of planning and environmental analysis, from site analysis through approval and construction. Kittelson staff is particularly knowledgeable about CEQA and NEPA compliance, and the recent changes to the CEQA-required transportation analyses. The staff approaches each project by building an understanding of client and project needs and jurisdiction requirements, tailoring work to assist clients in successfully fulfilling environmental requirements in an efficient and cost-effective manner. SWCA and Kittelson have an established teaming relationship and are currently working together on the Class 32 (Infill) Exemption for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Center for Nature and Cultural Project. For each traffic study, Kittelson will assess background conditions and the project's proposed development program. Based on this information, Kittelson will discuss the proposed study methodology and study intersections for the traffic study with City staff for concurrence. This methodology will be memorialized in an e-mail or in a Memorandum of Understanding. Traffic counts will then be conducted at identified intersections and roadway segments, at appropriate times of year, such as when schools are in session and during periods when the visitation at area amusement parks is typically high. Project trip generation will be estimated using trip generation rates presented in the latest edition of the Trip Generation Manual published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Project trip distribution will be prepared based on the anticipated travel patterns of project trips and information in the Santa Clarita Valley Consolidated Traffic Model (SCVCTM), developed jointly by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works and the City. Paae 1l SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services Impacts will then be quantified for both a project and cumulative growth scenarios at identified roadways and intersections based on methodologies outlined in the latest edition of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 6th Edition) using either Synchro or Vistro software programs. The Los Angeles County Guidelines for Congestion Management Program (CMP) Transportation Impact Analysis will be used to calculate cumulative conditions for mainline freeway conditions. For smaller projects, related projects for the cumulative analysis will likely be requested by the City Planning Department. For larger projects, the cumulative scenario will likely be based on General Plan buildout scenarios programmed into the SCVCTM. Because project applications addressed under the on -call contract would be processed after the July 1, 2020, deadline by which all CEQA lead agencies must analyze a project's transportation impacts using vehicle miles traveled (VMT), the traffic study will include a co -equivalent analysis of level of service (LOS)/delay and VMT impacts, for informed decision making. If the traffic impact analysis identifies potentially significant impacts, SWCA and Kittelson will work closely with City staff to develop mitigation measures consisting of TDM measures, physical improvements, and/or the payment of transportation impact mitigation fees. The resulting impact following the implementation of identified mitigation will be disclosed. Kittelson and SWCA are also available to peer review transportation studies prepared by others to ensure they are technically proficient and meet the needs of the City staff. COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND PUBLIC HEARINGS In today's climate of environmental awareness, our clients deal with increasingly complex issues that require - integration of science and planning, and often involve a variety of stakeholders with diverse interests. SWCA routinely provides the City with a group of project managers, environmental planners, and technical specialists who routinely assist with community relations, facilitation, and public involvement services, either as part of the CEQA or NEPA process or as stand-alone services. If required by a specific project, our experts will go above and beyond to help City staff navigate the complexities of engaging the public. When needed, we will present PowerPoint® presentations and summarize environmental technical findings to assist planning staff in creating efficient and informed public hearings to decision makers such as neighborhood councils, architectural review boards, Planning Commissions, and the City Council. Our project managers and technical specialists will make themselves a reliable partner to City staff for such hearings by providing written and verbal responses to public comments during the hearing process. SWCA staff are available to help assist with providing information to the public and soliciting input from the public for a robust and thoughtful public participation process. CONTRACT MANAGEMENT AND LEAD AGENCY SUPPORT SWCA has a proven ability and reputation for preparing thorough, accurate, objective, and legally defensible CEQA and NEPA documents. As a result, SWCA is routinely called upon to provide guidance and strategic input to determine the appropriate CEQA document, the necessary technical reports to support the CEQA document, the methodology of analysis, and strategies to efficiently prepare legally defensible documents. Using knowledge gained from our existing on -call contracts where we serve as an extension of City staff and oversee the preparation of environmental documents, SWCA will provide City staff with guidance and strategic input to determine the appropriate CEQA document, recommend the proper supporting technical ,a SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services studies and methodology of analysis, and develop uniquely strategic, cost-effective, and efficient solutions for the preparation of legally defensible documents. Our specialists have a comprehensive understanding of how the methodology and findings of one analysis affect another (e.g., vehicle trips influence GHG emissions, construction duration influences criteria air emissions) and will draw on this understanding to advise the City on the use of consistent assumptions and methodolgies, resulting in a more streamlined analysis that requires less revision cyles to accurately reach impact findings. We will also use this knowledge to advise the City in advance of "red flag" project designs or features that commonly increase a project's environmental impacts. Our experts have the experience and training to provide strategic guidance on almost all environmental topics. As a testament to our comprehensive understanding of the environmental clearance process, our clients routinely call us for quick advice even when not under contract on a project, a service we are honored and happy to provide. When requested, we will also serve as the point of contact for coordination with other agencies, such as the USACE, CDFW, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and the USFWS. r; e SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services PROJECT EXPERIENCE SWCA RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE SWCA's experience is tailored to provide the City with On -Call Environmental Planning Services.

CITY OF PASU RUBLES UN -CALL ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES AND PLANNING SUPPORT CLIENT City of Paso Robles PROJECT LOCATION Multiple Locations, City of Paso Robles and Areas of Proposed Annexation CONTACT Warren Frace, Community Development Director 805.237.3970 DURATION 2019 — Present SWCA was engaged by the City of Paso Robles Community Development Department under an on -call agreement to act as extension of staff and assist with planning and environmental review for three large Specific Plan/General Plan -Zoning Amendment/development projects being proposed within the City on similar timeframes. Subsequent to retaining SWCA for these projects, the City has requested additional environmental services and planning support from SWCA under our on -call agreement. SWCA has completed the following projects under this on -call agreement: Olsen -South Chandler Specific Plan and Beechwood Specific Plans Planning Support SWCA is currently serving as the contract planner and project manager of the Olsen -South Chandler Specific Plan and Beechwood Specific Plan projects. The projects each include a Specific Plan, General Plan Amendment, zoning amendment, multiple tract maps, and related entitlements for the development of two 'e SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services separate residential communities with commercial retail, parks, and open space on two large agricultural ranches located in adjacent locations on the City's fringe. Project management responsibilities conducted by SWCA include coordination with the applicant; coordination with City staff; coordination with resource agencies, including facilitating multiple multi -agency meetings; preparation of application review letters; review of the draft specific plans; management of the environmental consultant; and review of the EIR and associated technical studies. The Olsen -South Chandler Specific Plan Draft EIR was circulated for public review in December 2019 and is going to City Council with a Planning Commission recommendation for approval in February 2020. In December 2019, SWCA notified the City of Paso Robles that the Draft EIR prepared by the Applicant's subconsultant for the Beechwood Specific Plan was woefully deficient, out-of-date, and easily susceptible to litigation. Upon review of our recommendations, the City of Paso Robles agreed with our findings, and in January 2020, requested that SWCA support the contracted EIR consultant with finalization of a Revised Draft EIR on an extremely expedited timeframe of 3 weeks to meet the necessary circulation and entitlement public hearing schedule. This effort required re -writing multiple (7-8) key EIR sections from scratch. We rallied our team of planners from throughout California and are currently on schedule to realize the original schedule and release for public review in February 2020. SWCA will be responsible for taking both projects through necessary public hearings. Paso Robles Gateway Annexation Planning Support SWCA is currently serving as the contract planner and project manager for the Paso Robles Gateway Annexation project. The project includes a General Plan Amendment, pre -zoning, annexation, conceptual master development plan, multiple tract maps, and related entitlements for the development of several resort hotels with commercial retail, a residential resort community, and open space on an approximately 170-acre parcel. Project management responsibilities conducted by SWCA include coordination with the applicant; coordination with City staff; coordination with resource agencies, including facilitating multiple multi -agency meetings; preparation of application review letters; review of the conceptual development plans; management of the environmental consultant; and review of the EIR and associated technical studies. The Draft EIR is scheduled to be released for public review in April 2020. SWCA will be responsible for taking the project through necessary public hearings, including annexation approval with LAFCO. LAETITIA AGRICULTURAL CLUSTER, TRACT MAP, AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN EIR ow CLIENT County of San Luis Obispo Department of Planning and Building PROJECT LOCATION Arroyo Grande and Nipomo, California CONTACT Brian Pedrotti 805.788.2788 DURATION 2005 — 2016 Page 122 SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services SWCA was retained by the County of San Luis Obispo to prepare an EIR for the Laetitia Agricultural Cluster Tract Map and Development Plan. The project site is located mid -way between the City of Arroyo Grande and the unincorporated community of Nipomo, in the County of San Luis Obispo, California. The proposed project consists of the subdivision of 21 parcels (1,910 acres) into 106 lots, including 102 residential lots and four open space lots. The project site is located in the Agriculture and Rural Lands land use categories. Approximately 104 acres of existing vineyard would be removed to accommodate proposed development and buffer zones. Approximately 128 acres of vineyard and orchards would be replanted on site. Development proposed within the open space lots includes a homeowner's association facility, recreation center, community center, and an equestrian facility. There are numerous significant issues associated with this project, including changes in visual character and visibility from Highway 101, the presence of significant archaeological and historical resources, generation of traffic trips on area roadways and requirements for extensive offsite road improvements, determination of feasible and adequate sources of water supply, and wastewater treatment and disposal. Significant land use impacts include potential conflicts between residential and agricultural uses and inconsistencies with the County's General Plan. SWCA's acoustic technical expert conducted noise measurements of actual equipment used within the vineyard to quantify exposure to operational noise. Upon initiation of the Administrative Draft EIR and completion of key technical studies, numerous significant and unavoidable impacts were identified. SWCA immediately consulted with County staff and submitted a written summary of noted effects. At the request of the County, we prepared an exhibit and table showing the environmental constraints (i.e., significant archaeological and historical sites, highly visible locations, areas demonstrating poor percolation characteristics). This information was provided to the applicant to allow for discussion and consideration of project redesign. SWCA worked closely with the County project manager to conduct meetings, facilitate correspondence and information -sharing with the project applicant, and minimize cost and delays in the process. SWCA continued to consult with the Agriculture Department during preparation of the Administrative Draft EIR, including responding to the Department's questions and comments on the administrative draft analysis section. SWCA prepared the Final EIR in February 2015. After multiple public hearings at the Planning Commission throughout 2015 and 2016, the project was ultimately denied on appeal to the County Board of Supervisors in July 2016 due to concerns related to water supply and emergency access. MARQUETTE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT CEQA SERVICES CLIENT Pizzulli Associates, Inc. PROJECT LOCATION Los Angeles County, California CONTACT Cosimo Pizzulli, Owner 310.393.9572 DURATION 2017 — Present Page 123 SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services SWCA prepared an MND and supporting technical studies, including an Historic Resources Assessment, Biological Assessment, tribal cultural resources assessment, and air quality analysis, in support of the proposed Marquette Residential Development Project in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. The project required lot line adjustments and a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) for the demolition of two residences and the construction of eight new single-family homes within the Coastal Zone. SWCA prepared the MND and supporting technical studies on an accelerated schedule. The project faced organized opposition from neighbors, who expressed concern that on -site slopes and proposed stability structures were inadequate to prevent landsliding following construction of the proposed homes. Project opponents enlisted a geotechnical engineer to peer -review the project geotechnical report and prepare a supplemental technical memorandum. Neighbors also expressed concern that the proposed homes were inconsistent with the scale, mass, and visual character of the existing hillside neighborhood. With assistance and guidance from SWCA, and in close coordination with City Planning staff, the project was ultimately processed as a Class 32 Infill Exemption and unanimously approved by the West Los Angeles Area Planning Commission (APC) in November 2019. The neighbor opposition group appealed the APC approval to the Los Angeles City Council in January 2020. SWCA is currently supporting efforts associated with this appeal process. LOS ANGELES COUNTY NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM COMMONS RENOVATION PROJECT CEQA SERVICES CLIENT Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History PROJECT LOCATION Los Angeles, California CONTAC`I Dawn McDivitt 213.763.3303, dmcdivitt@nhm.org DURATION 2018 — present To facilitate the demolition of the Jean Delacour Auditorium and construction of a 130,800-square-foot addition to the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum, SWCA analyzed environmental review options under CEQA and recommended a Class 32 Infill Exemption as the most cost- and time -efficient document. SWCA is currently completing the Class 32 Infill Exemption, and previously prepared the archaeological, paleontological, transportation, and historic preservation technical studies. The historic preservation technical studies were a large component of the analysis given the Museum's status on the NRHP. SWCA found that the project would not impact the integrity of the historic resources and would actually enhance the architectural value. Working closely with Los Angeles County Museum staff, SWCA crafted customized protocols that balanced the resource sensitivity, regulatory requirements, changing project designs, and various project constraints, which translated into high -quality and cost-effective deliverables. Since project inception, Kittelson has been assisting SWCA as a subconsultant to prepare the transportation impact analysis to support the Class 32 Infill Exemption. The transportation impact analysis included data SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services collection; assessment of intersection operations for existing and future conditions; assessment of pedestrian, bicycle, transit access, and the proposed onsite circulation; and identification of mitigation alternatives.

SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services PROGRAM MANAGEMENT & QA/QC r_ 1 PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SWCA proposes to provide the City with On -Call Environmental Planning Services for developer and City projects, including the preparation of technical studies and peer review of technical studies by others. As a Prime Contractor, SWCA will manage all task orders assigned by the City, providing technically proficient and responsive project support even with the use of a large and diverse team. OUR DELIVERABLES ARE OFTEN THE "FACE" OF YOUR PROJECTS The quality of a deliverable is not only a reflection of our ability, but also of you and your projects. As your partners in project Our approach to this On -Call Environmental Planning Services success, we take great care to ensure our contract is to provide the City with qualified staff members who will deliverables are of the highest quality be responsive and function successfully as an extension of City because when you look good, we look good, staff. Through our on -call contracts with other agencies, we have too. developed processes and tracking tools that simultaneously manage the budgets and deliverable schedules for multiple task orders. Our Program Manager and Task Order Managers will keep the City apprised of project developments by submitting regular reports or updates that document the tasks completed, and estimated completion dates for near and long -lead deliverables. Mr. Shawn Gaver, Senior Project Manager and Environmental Planner, will serve as the Program Manager and primary point -of -contact for this On -Call Contract, ensuring that each task order will be assigned with an adequate number of qualified staff. Drawing from our experience managing on -call contracts which may include several concurrent task orders, and drawing from a large team of highly trained project managers in biological, cultural (archaeological, historical, and paleontological), and environmental resources, organized under a hierarchical management structure, SWCA will assign a Task Order Manager and point -of -contact for each task order request. 1,e SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services TASK ORDER MANAGEMENT For each project or task order assignment, SWCA will provide a scope of work and fee estimate for City staff to review and approve that identifies the staff members and subconsultants (where beneficial) who are best suited to complete the necessary tasks, based on technical expertise and availability, as well as any technical studies required. Depending on the project need, our technical staff and/or subconsultants will be coordinated to provide an appropriately scoped approach to document preparation. We will provide City staff with a cost- effective teaming solution to the preparation of adequate studies. For more straightforward technical studies within our own capabilities, SWCA will prepare the analysis in-house, in accordance with our approach to analysis and QA/QC procedures discussed below. Proposed staff hours for each task order will be provided to City staff in tabular format, illustrating the name, title, and hourly rate of employees who will work on the task order. SWCA will also provide a project schedule that identifies key milestones, to ensure that overall progress can be measured against expected deliverables. For cost -tracking purposes, a task order budget will be prepared and uploaded to our budget - management and time -keeping software, Deltek Vision°, so our Program Manager and Task Order Managers have access to real-time information related to percent spent/percent remaining of the budget, ensuring staff are working efficiently and assigning hours to the proper tasks. By tracking this schedule with City staff, we can respond quickly to requests, identify issues, and prevent schedule deviations in advance. STAFFING PROCEDURES Project staffing for both SWCA and our subconsultants will be assigned when we receive each task order request. Mr. Shawn Gaver, serving as the Program Manager, will be responsible for assembling the staff for each task order based on the project's needs, complexity, environmental challenges, and allocated budget. Each task order will be assigned staff with adequate availability to see out the environmental clearance process. Technical specialists and/or subconsultants will be assigned to each task order based on the specific environmental issues associated with the project. To provide City staff with the highest level of experience possible and to establish efficient ongoing working relationships, Task Order Managers, technical staff, and subconsultants demonstrating positive results working in the City or on similar task orders will be assigned to a project first. As the Principal -in -Charge of this On -Call Contract and Vice President of Southern California operations, Dr. John Dietler will ensure that staff are available to assist as needed with City projects. The potential volume and diversity of project types, as well as the need for streamlined project scoping and initiation, expected from this On -Call Contract will occasionally require the support of a sizeable and well - coordinated management group. Drawing from a large team of highly trained project managers and environmental planners, SWCA's Program Manager, Mr. Shawn Gaver, will either directly serve as the Task Order Manager, or in the event of multiple task orders, assign a dedicated Task Order Manager to each project, providing a single point of contact with City staff, a lead person responsible for the project's success, and a clear chain of responsibility. The SWCA Task Order Manager will manage the task from the task order request to the delivery of the final invoice. In this manner, overlap of project management duties is eliminated, providing clear lines of communication and responsibility as well as streamlined reporting and financial management. Through the administration of other environmental on -call contracts, we have created a proven program that creates efficiency through simple, streamlined processes that yield high -quality work products. Where a project's demands are beyond our internal expertise, our team will be supplemented with one of our subconsultants with genuine expertise in the needed subject matter, as well as complementary skillsets. In this way, the SWCA team will provide City staff with a high degree of flexibility in staffing levels and skill levels in order to provide the City with the full suite of services requested by this RFP. As part of our Page 133 SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services routine workload projection meetings, SWCA's Program Manager, Principal -in -Charge, and Task Order Managers will assess the recent and upcoming needs of this On -Call Environmental Planning Services contract. When required, we will make additional hires and/or draw from our national roster to ensure that adequate staff is available. PROJECT KICK-OFF AND DOCUMENT STRATEGY SWCA provides a team who thoroughly understands the regulatory environment in which the City projects operate to ensure project success. Upon receipt of each task order request, our team will evaluate the project needs using our awareness of local issues, as supplemented by project -specific research, to identify key issues that will require more detailed analysis. To provide a cost-effective process and "right -size" environmental document, we also identify environmental topics where a more cursory analysis will clearly demonstrate a less -than -significant effect. We will also assess the level of support for, or opposition to, the project to accurately gauge the required effort to respond to public comments and support the environmental findings at public hearings. SITE VISITS Upon initiation of most task orders, the Task Order Manager and key staff will visit the project site in order to fully understand the environmental setting and baseline, existing and surrounding land uses, and any other conditions that may affect the scope of the environmental document and applicability of ordinances and standards. During the field visit, documentation will include field notes and photographs of the project site and surrounding area. SWCA will coordinate any site visits with City staff and relevant parties (or their agent/representative, as applicable) prior to +glow initiating the site visit to minimize any potential conflicts and to understand any access limitations or requirements. Upon completion of the field surveys and analyses, the data will be documented, analyzed, and interpreted in the technical study. Depending on the technical study being prepared, findings will be evaluated against applicable thresholds and policies to assess potential environmental impacts. During site visits, we understand that we are representing the City and will take great care to demonstrate utmost professionalism and respect, including closing/locking gates, avoiding unauthorized access to adjacent properties, minimizing dust, and limiting use of vehicles to roads and driveways. At SWCA, safety is everyone's responsibility and an integral part of our company culture. All SWCA fieldwork adheres not only to our motto— atety by ChOroe, Pvot by Accretent--but also to a standardized protocol that includes preparation of Job Hazard Analysis forms and other proactive measures. Our safety mission includes supporting SWCA's office and field activities by actively supporting a safe and healthy work environment for all employees. This is accomplished through training, increasing awareness, and providing and coordinating specific programs and processes that minimize safety, health, and environmental hazards for our employees and clients in a manner consistent with, and in most cases greater than, industry standards. Prior to any field visit, all relevant staff will undergo appropriate safety and environmental training so that project site and resource risks are fully understood. SCHEDULE CONTROL PROCEDURES SWCA understands that demanding schedules and close project scrutiny mean that City staff is expected to provide state-of-the-art results without costly delays. For scheduling purposes, a task order schedule will be 1,e SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services prepared in our preferred scheduling software, Microsoft Project°, so our Program Manager and Task Order Managers have access to real-time schedule information related to milestones and work completed, and critical path deliverables that have the greatest potential to result in schedule delays. By tracking this schedule with City staff, we can respond quickly to requests, identify issues, and prevent schedule deviations in advance. COMMUNICATION AND COORDINATION The cornerstone of effective project management is clear and frequent communication between the SWCA team and City staff. Effective SWCA UNDERSTANDS THE communication starts at the kickoff meeting and continues through project NEED TO MAINTAIN A CLOSE approval. Our Task Order Managers, and/or the appropriate technical WORKING RELATIONSHIP specialist, will coordinate with City staff on a regular basis to discuss AND OPEN COMMUNICATION. project deadlines, data needs, and the progress of environmental analyses. As a result, our team will respond quickly to requests for services and project brainstorming sessions. This communication will be an important tool for maintaining coordination, especially on projects with condensed schedules. Inquiries to City staff related to the general contract will be routed through the Program Manager, Mr. Shawn Gaver. After projects are assigned to an appropriate Task Order Manager, however, communication and the exchange of deliverables will proceed directly between the Task Order Manager most directly engaged in the work and City staff. Rapid and direct communication regarding issues related to safety, public interaction, field logistics, and project schedule will flow directly from the Task Order Manager to the City project manager. Communications will flow from the City through SWCA to our subconsultants, and vice versa. Each Task Order Manager will continue to provide oversight and will be available when issues require escalation, a change order, or in the unlikely event that management change is required. Interaction at regular intervals is another key element of an effective communication protocol. SWCA achieves this by communicating project concerns immediately, as they arise, providing project updates on a daily or weekly basis, using a monthly teleconference, and meeting with City staff when requested. Our Task Order Managers will keep City staff apprised of project developments by submitting routine status reports, the frequency of which would vary depending on the task order, documenting the tasks completed, and estimated completion dates for near and long -lead deliverables. SUBCONSULTANT MANAGEMENT Subconsultants are a critical part of our approach to this On -Call Environmental Planning Services contract, regardless of project volume. Our partner selection is based on skills, performance history, responsiveness, and location. As discussed above, we have selected subconsultants with a broad variety of specialties and that have routinely worked with SWCA on past projects. SWCA will call upon these subconsultants when needed to supplement our services and to provide studies for a range of technical specialties. We take pride in using the most qualified subconsultant for each project. Each SWCA Task Order Manager will be responsible for facilitating the flow of information from the City and/or applicant team to the subconsultant, and vice versa. Project subconsultants will be provided an opportunity to inform the project budget and schedule upon receipt of the task order request. SWCA's Task Order Manager will then facilitate efforts that ensure our subconsultants stay within budget and on schedule. SWCA's Task Order Manager will process all invoices provided by our subconsultants. SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services TECHNICAL STUDIES Prior to the commencement of any field studies or analysis associated with the preparation of any technical study, SWCA will ensure that the project description is firmly solidified and vetted and that each team member assigned to the task at -hand thoroughly understands the responsibilities, expectations, and protocols to complete the technical study. This will improve operational efficiencies and decrease cost by reducing unnecessary delays and ineffective communication. Technical studies will be prepared in a format that is readily useable by SWCA and City staff for incorporation into the environmental document. The technical studies will be prepared so that CEQA Appendix G questions are clearly addressed by the analysis. Where potentially significant impacts are identified, the technical study will identify mitigation measures to reduce impacts to the extent feasible. Our team will work closely with City staff to develop effective mitigation measures. The effectiveness of proposed mitigation measures will be evaluated and discussed. If associated with a project EIR or ND/MND, each technical study will be included as an appendix to the CEQA document. MEETINGS During the environmental review processes, meetings with City staff and other relevant parties will likely be required to discuss potential project -related impacts, ordinance and policy consistency and compliance, and design recommendation and alternatives. Regulatory agencies may request meetings during the permitting process for projects that are particularly complex or controversial. Based on our team's experience participating in and facilitating meetings for other on -call contracts, we are prepared to represent City staff in this capacity. SWCA staff will facilitate project meetings by coordinating team schedules, securing a functional meeting space and video/voice conference call -in number, providing an agenda and relevant discussion materials/questions/data needs in advance, taking accurate notes, and providing meeting minutes for review and edit following the meeting. When a meeting will benefit from a presentation, we will provide high -resolution PowerPoint° slides and/or presentation boards. NOTICE TRANSMITTALS AND STAFF REPORTS Drawing on our extensive experience, SWCA will assist City staff in preparing a variety of staff reports, conditions of approval, findings, and notices using approved lead agency templates. We will coordinate with City staff to facilitate review, revisions, submittals, and posting of reports and notices. We are technically expert with software such as Microsoft Excel° and Microsoft MinuteTraq° to facilitate submittal and review of staff reports by multiple management and administrative staff. In addition to the body of the report, when requested, we will assist City staff in preparing Conditions of Approval and Findings consistent with City requirements. HEARINGS When requested, our team will assist City staff with the preparation of presentations for public hearings, including a speaker outline and PowerPoint° slideshow. We will present the project to the public and decision - makers (including the City Council), responding to questions and concerns, preparing condition of approval and findings modifications during the hearing process, and providing guidance regarding policy interpretation. P ae r, SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services COST CONTROL PROCEDURES SWCA strongly believes that the practice of high -quality, responsive work is the essence of cost control, and that our scopes of work are always developed to provide the tightest costs while still delivering quality products. We will integrate our cost control strategies into every task order assigned by the City, such as assigning qualified staff to the task order, using proven project tracking to prioritize and ensure key deliverables are on schedule, and implementing our rigorous QA/QC process. SWCA is renowned for our thorough and precise initial administrative draft documents, which routinely are able to skip rounds of agency review and remove the need for subsequent drafts due to our rigorous QA/QC process. The shortened review process allows projects to move ahead faster, ahead of schedule and under budget, and is a cornerstone of our CEQA practice. Our project managers have a successful track record of remaining mindful of client budgets. And while our team is comprised of senior, veteran staff with true subject matter expertise, those staff supervise the work of their junior colleagues to ensure that the appropriate staff level is used on each element of a project. To provide a cost-effective process and "right -size" environmental document, we also identify environmental topics where a more cursory analysis will clearly demonstrate a less -than -significant effect. We will also assess the level of support for, or opposition to, the project to accurately gauge the required effort to respond to public comments and support the environmental findings at public hearings. Specific project management strategies to optimize costs include Implementation of detailed project tracking: We will implement project tracking systems based on effective models used for other on -call contracts. These tracking systems are directly tied to key project deliverables and milestones in order to make sure projects and associated budgets are kept on schedule, and that clients are kept abreast of both project progress and expenditure. By tracking this schedule with City staff, we can respond quickly to requests, identify issues, and correct schedule deviations which could cause cost overruns. • Economies of scale: The SWCA team represents a large talent pool, one that can confidently take on projects of any size. Because of our ability to concurrently take on several efforts, we can achieve substantial economies of scale in project management, through cross -project staff utilization, by aggregating field and office work, and through other related synergies that result from fully utilized teams. • Dedicated team and right -staffing: The SWCA team fully intends to dedicate, maintain, and carefully grow this team to address assigned tasks. We will appropriately match staff to the project requirement, at all levels. This will optimize both contract cost estimating and project product value, two core elements of project delivery. • Deployment locations and local resource knowledge: We use staff, including our subconsultants, that are near projects and most familiar with the area and potential resources. Our knowledgeable staff also have the ability early in the project process to identify unanticipated or unexpected resource issues or potential risks that could delay projects or drive up costs. • Look-aheads to identify long lead times: One of our highest priorities is identifying long lead tasks or projects in order to efficiently prioritize task schedule and avoid costly project delays, as well as identifying what tasks can be bundled based on geographical location, resource similarities, and schedule. e SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL SWCA takes a team -based approach to QA/QC that is underlain by four key principles: (1) proactive planning; (2) open communication; (3) use of standardized methods; and (4) rigorous internal checks. We incorporate the overarching quality principle that all data collection, analysis, recording, and reporting of results are checked and confirmed by at least one level of management oversight. Everyone in the hierarchical project management structure is responsible for recognizing potential inconsistencies, data gaps, and quality concerns and working with the appropriate manager(s) to avoid or correct them. A QA/QC Manager will be identified with each task order. On more straightforward projects, the Task Order Manager will also serve as the QA/QC Manager and will be responsible for the quality of all deliverables. For all task orders, Dr. Dietler, serving as the Principal -in -Charge, will be available to City staff to ensure that the firm's resources are available to the City and to facilitate internal coordination during the execution of multiple task orders. Dr. Dietler will also assist Mr. Gaver with internal processes to ensure the quality of deliverables, schedule and budget adherence, and communication protocols. From the outset of project planning, we work proactively toward excellence through the assignment of pre-screened, highly trained, and well -qualified staff and subconsultants. By communicating directly and openly with the City points -of -contact and coordinating the efforts of all staff, both internal and external, SWCA creates seamless and real-time feedback between client needs and contractor responsibilities, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming rework. By using a writing manual customized to this On -Call Environmental Planning Services contract, and requiring that our subconsultants do the same, SWCA will guarantee the consistent application of methodology across offices and by our teaming partners. By exercising QA/QC at every level under the direction of each Task Order Manager and with oversight by the Program Manager, SWCA ensures the delivery of products of superior quality. REPORT REVIEW PROCESS I fECHNI AL SPECIALIST Conducts background research and surveys, lien prepares technical report based on results PROJECT MANAGER Conducts high-level 0AeQC. review for consistency with project details and agency requirernon% TECHNICAL EDITOR Reviews the report for stye, grammar, and format PROJECT PRINCIPAL Conducts final review before Production SWCA ensures the delivery of superior quality products by requiring each team member to exercise QA/QC at every level. SWCA's reporting and editorial policies and guidelines, administered by professional technical editors and supported by an experienced production staff, consistently produce reports of excellent quality. All materials produced by SWCA are subject to at least one level of QA/QC review. Reports are reviewed by technical leads and appropriate QA/QC personnel for content, logic, data use, professional quality, and response to project needs. The technical editor subsequently reviews them for consistency, style, grammar, and format. These changes are made using Microsoft Word's° track changes function, creating a record of the document's editorial history. The primary author then reviews the document, addresses any issues, and accepts or rejects the changes. For printed deliverables, a production team prints and assembles the document and the Project Manager performs a final QA/QC check. The Task Order Manager then submits the document via secure electronic and/or shipping methods. We hold our subconsultants to the same standards of quality that we maintain, and their submittals will subject to the same quality control procedures. Subconsultant technical studies will be reviewed by the SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services applicable Task Order Manager, environmental planner, or technical specialist assigned to the project before being provided to City staff. This QA/QC procedure is designed to ensure that the project description is accurate; the environmental baseline is properly represented; the methodology follows accepted standards; and the assumptions are reasonable. If our review identifies needed improvements, the technical study will be returned to our subconsultant for revision prior to submittal to the City, ensuring a quality product. INTERNAL AUDITS For on -call contracts such this one, our Task Order Managers, the Program Manager, and the Principal -in - Charge typically conduct monthly project audits to ensure that schedule, budget, and quality objectives for concurrent task orders are being met. When multiple task orders are in process, these will consist of an in - person meeting where these staff members review key performance indicators together. CLIENT FEEDBACK PROGRAM SWCA strives to meet or exceed expectations set at the beginning of a project, and we strive to continuously improve our service delivery. To this end, SWCA has a system in place to track and respond to client feedback on our performance. At the close of every project, we ask our clients to what degree SWCA and our staff met expectations in the following key areas: helpfulness, communication, quality, schedule, budget, invoicing, and value for fees paid. Our clients rate their experiences with SWCA on a scale of 1.0 (Unacceptable) to 10.0 (Exceptional). This program facilitates customer feedback on every project and allows SWCA to fine-tune our services on an on -going basis to better serve our valued clients over the long term.

EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES SWCA relies on the latest software and technology available. We use the Microsoft Office 3650 cloud - productivity suite as our primary collaboration software. This suite includes cloud workspaces that can be shared with internal and external users, task tracking programs, and document coauthoring and editing solutions to keep project teams connected throughout the process. Our Program Manager and Task Order Managers will track project activities and costs using a custom Tracking Database, allowing them to monitor and manage project details, including costs, permits, deliverables, and safety metrics in real time. Accounting information is tracked using Deltek Vision°software, a fully integrated system that encompasses our firm's processes and resources. Project managers are required to update the percentage of work completed on a weekly basis and to compare it to the percent expended, allowing the early detection and prevention of potential overruns. Performance metrics can be provided to the client on a monthly or quarterly basis if requested. Depending on client preference, SWCA's Task Order Managers are also adept at the preparation, delivery, and tracking of project schedules using Microsoft Project°. Data Collection, Information Management, and Quality Documentation In SWCA's experience, the robust and sometimes copious data that result from biological and cultural resources field work is best managed with integrated data collection systems. Data collected in the field are e SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services typically spatial in nature and are logically managed within or in conjunction with a GIS database. SWCA can provide the City with a centralized GIS database for each task order, enabling the City and other stakeholder users to store and share data and produce clear and informative maps via an intranet site, such as a SharePoint° or an FTP site. SWCA's GIS staff excels in the development of mapping and data products that clearly convey environmental opportunities and constraints. SWCA's mobile data collection software significantly streamlines in -field documentation processes using Survey 123 and Collector for ArcGIS. The tablets use databases developed by in-house information technology specialists, allowing for efficient and consistent data entry in the field. Using tablets eliminates transcription errors and creates efficiencies during post -field information processing and reporting. Field data recorded on the tablets are loaded directly into SWCA's custom databases, automatically populating fields within digital forms and report templates. This process eliminates the need to re -type information, saving time and maintaining data integrity. UAS, more commonly referred to as "drones," are the latest addition to the technological tools utilized by our staff. SWCA is now FAA -certified for commercial use of UAS, which can be used for accurate photo documentation and mapping of archaeological sites and historical structures. Aerial imagery collected by UAS can be utilized in GIS platforms, and 3D models can be generated to accurately record features and buildings. Cultural Resources Laboratory Our Pasadena office has one of the few fully equipped laboratories available to process archaeological materials in greater Los Angeles, should such materials be collected during field operations. State-of-the-art laboratory equipment; washing facilities; archival curation materials; and extensive faunal, osteological, ceramic, and lithic comparative collections, as well as an integrated database, allow for efficient and accurate inventory and analysis of data collected from the field. SWCA team project managers work closely with clients to develop sound and cost-effective procedures for the curation of collected materials. Air Quality, GHG Modeling, & Energy Studies SWCA's air quality specialists and its subconsultants employ the latest air quality emissions software to inventory project -related emissions and evaluate impacts. Our specialists primarily rely on the CaIEEMod (version 2016.3.2) to estimate air quality and GHG/carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and for completing HRA modeling. We also maintain the latest versions of the California Air Quality Resources Board (CARB) OFFROAD and EMFAC software suites. When an HRA is required to determine air quality and health risk impacts on sensitive receptors, dispersion modeling is completed with the USEPA's AERMOD software. Through the efficient use of this software, SWCA and our subconsultants can accurately estimate project - related emissions and readily compare estimated emissions on nearby sensitive receptors against the localized and regional standards for criteria air pollutants, GHG emissions, and TACs concentrations. Beyond relying on modeling software, our team members also leverage their experience to identify early in the process those construction activities or operational components that are likely to result in impacts, allowing for informed modifications and design changes and reducing the need for reiterative modeling efforts. Noise and Groundborne Vibration Modeling Our acoustical engineers and subconsultants rely on highly accurate and calibrated field noise monitors (e.g., Larson -Davis 820 Precision Integrated Sound Level Meter) to collect ambient noise levels. We typically collect both short-term (15 minutes) and long-term (24-48 hours) noise data points to capture both long-term average (Leq) and peak -hour noise levels, or otherwise rely on the General Plan Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) when it is representative of ambient noise conditions. After establishing existing ambient noise levels, our staff references industry -accepted noise generation levels or uses desktop software to estimate l'e SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services project -related noise levels. Construction -related noise is most often estimated using the FHWA Roadway Construction Noise Model User's Guide, taking into consideration a project's construction fleet and natural attenuation rates (e.g., distance loss, geometric spreading). Noise levels from routine operational components, such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, are usually assumed to comply with applicable code and regulations, while unique noise sources (e.g., loading docks, garbage collection areas) are modeled using case studies of similar sources. Our noise specialists calculate roadway noise using the procedures provided in Caltrans Technical Noise Supplement (TeNS), consistent with FHWA RD-77-108 roadway noise prediction methodologies. Groundborne vibration is estimated using data compiled by the FTA, attuned to the project -specific equipment fleet and distance to sensitive receptors. e v SWCAI City of Santa Clarita On -Call Environmental Planning Services SUBCONSULTANTS Through previous projects, SWCA has developed established working relationships with the highly experienced subconsultants we have called upon for this On -Call Environmental Planning Services contract.
