UBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager t o Execute a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement w ith Hewlett Packard f or the Purchase of Police Vehicle Mobile Computers and Related Equipment
RE

COMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the replacement of police vehicle mobile computer hardware and authorizing the City Manager to execute a State of California NASPO ValuePoint cooperative purchasing agreement with Hewlett Packard Inc. for the acquisition of replacement in-car computers and related equipment, in an amount not to exceed $280,763.85.

ISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the replacement of police vehicle mobile computer hardware is available in the Office Equipment Replacement Internal Service Fund. Sufficient appropriations exist in the current budget to cover the total not to exceed cost of $280,763.85 for si xty (60) rugged mobile computers, vehicle docking stations, power supplies, and extended warranties.

N
o General Fund appropriation is required for this purchase. The City’s procurement procedures recognize cooperative purchasing contracts, such as the State of California NASPO ValuePoint contract, as an approved competitive bid process, which provides favorable pricing and reduces staff time and administrative costs associated with issuing a separate formal bid.

SCUSSION
The Police Department relies on mobile computers installed in patrol vehicles for virtually every aspect of field operations. Officers use these computers to access the computer aided dispatch (CAD) system in real time, receive detailed information about c alls for service, view unit status, and communicate with dispatch. The CAD interface provides mapping, premise history, and critical caller and location information that help o fficers safely approach scenes, identify the best routes of travel, and coordinate responses with

Antioch City Council Report
December 9, 2025, Agenda Item# L 2
other units.

M
obile computers are also essential for conducting timely records checks on people, vehicles, and property. Officers routinely use these systems to query state and federal databases, confirm warrants, verify restraining orders, and identify stolen vehicles and other property. Having this information immediately available in the field enhances officer safety, improves decision making, and supports more effective enforcement and investigative work.

I
n addition, officers complete the majority of their police reports in the field using their mobile computers. This capability reduces the amount of time officers are away from their assigned beats, improves report accuracy by allowing details to be documented at the scene, and supports more efficient report approval and routing. Reliable mobile computing directly improves officer productivity and helps ensure that critical information is captured and available for the courts, the District Attorney, and the community.

T
he current generation of in -car computers is approximately six years old and has reached the end of its recommended service life. As software demands and security requirements have increased, these older devices are no longer providing the level of performance needed to run multiple resource intensive applications at once. Officers are now required to operate an expanded suite of systems, including in-car and dash camera software, automated license plate reader systems, an updated CAD and records management system, and other investigative and productivity tools that often run simultaneously in the background.

The
se added demands have contributed to slow performance, system freezes, and intermittent failur es that affect response times and the ability to access critical information in the field. The older computers are also experiencing maintenance issues and hardware failures at a higher rate, resulting in more frequent repairs, greater downtime for patrol vehicles, and increased workload for Information Technology staff.

Continued investment in this aging hardware is not cost effective and does not provide the level of reliability appropriate for mission critical public safety operations.

R
eplacing the existing in car computers with modern rugged mobile computers and associated vehicle docks, power supplies, and extended warranties will provide the performance, reliability, and support needed to keep pace with current and future software requirements. These upgrades will enhanc e o fficer safety, situational awareness, and productivity, and will ensure that the Police Department can fully leverage its CAD, records, in-car video, and license plate reader systems in support of high- quality police services.

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

DATE: Regular Meeting of December 9, 2025

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

SUBMITTED BY: Bessie Marie Scott, City Manager

SUBJECT: Resolution Approving Amendment No. 1 to the Consulting Services Agreement between the City of Antioch and WBA Consulting and Investigations, LLC.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving Amendment No. 1 to the Consulting Services Agreement between the City of Antioch and WBA Consulting and Investigations, LLC for an amount not to exceed $300,00 0, extending the term through June 30, 2026, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT
The initial agreement with WBA Consulting and Investigations, LLC (WBA), from January 15, 2025, to June 30, 2025, was $225,000 and included an option to extend for six months under the same terms, which the City exercised. The total cost for the first term was $222,800, and the cost to date for the extension has been $132,975.00, with the total anticipated cost expected to be under $175,000 . The proposed six-month extension will not exceed $300,000. Funding for the first six-month extension that was exercised was included in the Police Department adopted Fiscal Year 2025/26 budget. Funding for this amendment will c ome from the remaining budget under the extension that will not be utilized and anticipated vacancy savings within the Police Department.

DISCUSSION
In January 2025, the City signed an agreement with WBA to provide executive -level support, strategic project oversight, and specialized consulting to the Chief of Police and City Manager. This engagement helped establish a foundation for mandatory compliance with federal and state laws, regulations, and opera tional standards. With the U.S.

Department of Justice settlement agreement now finalized, and the City continuing to face an active investigation by the California Department of Justice, another agreement is needed to expand the scope of work and support t he next phase of executive reviews, compliance implementation, and organizational improvement.

Throughout the term of the agreement, WBA , through its two assigned staff members, Brian Addington and Patrick Wentz, has supported multiple City departments, including

Antioch City Council Report
December 9, 2025 Agenda Item # M

the Police Department, Public Works, Human Resources, the Department of Public Safety and Community Resources, and the City Manager’s Office. Key projects have involved assisting with the selection and onboarding of the U.S. DOJ Monitor, providing technical guidance on federal and state compliance issues, helping with a federal court lawsuit, arbitration hearings, and consulting on internal discipline matters. They also coordinated planning and operational support for the Sycamore Square Substation project. WBA has contributed to numerous Police Department facilities and capital projects, including Antioch Police Department ( APD) interior improvements, capital planning for the Emergency Operations Center (EOC)/Community Room, Investigations Unit remodel, Records Unit and Property/Evidence upgrades, as well as technology and infrastructure projects like the radio simulcast tower and dispatch improvements. Several projects are still ongoing and continue to require executive-level coordination and support.

As part of Amendment No. 1, WBA will also provide an expanded process-improvement project designed to enhance the operational efficiency recommendations (which have come about as a result of the Operational Assessments which are curren tly underway and are occurring across all city departments), consistency, and service quality across identified functional areas, as further detailed in the attached Scope of Services. This additional service includes conducting kickoff meetings with leadership and staff, mapping current workflows, identifying gap s and bottlenecks, and designing streamlined future - state processes. To support timely completion, a third employee of the consulting firm with extensive expertise in this area will be assigned to this project. The consultant will also provide staff traini ng, implementation assistance, and develop tools such as checklists, templates, scripts, and SOPs, culminating in a comprehensive final report and a closeout meeting. The work is anticipated to take approximately three to four months in collaboration with staff and leadership, with the potential for follow-on process reviews as needed.

Amendment No. 1 extends the contract to June 30, 2026, and adjusts the total amount.

All other terms remain unchanged.

SUBMIT
TED BY: Zoe Merideth, Planning Manager

APPROVED
BY: Zach Seal, Community and Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Res
olutions Approving On-Call Contract Planning and
Environmental Consulting Services

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Adopt the res olution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Raney Planning and Managem ent, Inc. for a period of three years from March 2, 2026 through March 1, 2029, for on-ca ll environmental services and contract planning services; and

2. Adopt the resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute agr eements with Stantec for a period of three years from March 2, 2026 through March 1, 2029, and De Novo Planning Group for a period of three years from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2029, for on-call environmental services.

FISCAL
IMPACT
There are no direct costs incurred by the City for this request . On -call planning and environmental consulting services are cost recoverable as project applicants pay the full cost of services to be rendered, plus a 10% administrative fee prior to the consultant beginning any work. Staff tracks billing associated with the project and requests additional funds from project sponsors as needed.

DISCUSS
ION
The Planning Division is responsible for the development and administration of programs that guide the physical development of Antioch, including the General Plan, a variety o f Specific Plans and the City’s Zoning Ordinance. These policies establish the framework and vision for future development in the City. The Division uses these policies in the review, management, and processing of development applications as well as related compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

Antioch City Council Report
December 9, 2025 Agenda Item # P 2
Currently, the City has on- call contracts for CEQA and contract planning services with Raney Planning and Management , Inc. and CEQA services with Stantec. The terms of services for both contracts is September 1, 2022 to September 1, 2025. Both contracts were amended to extend the terms of services to March 1, 2026 to allow time for an updated Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process. If the resolutions are approved the new contract terms for Raney Planning and Management, Inc. and Stantec will be March 2, 2026 through March 1, 2029. The contract term for De Novo Planning Group will be from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2029.

CEQA
For development applications where CEQA is required, the City uses technical consultants to provide expertise and project management. The consultants work with specialists who prepare studies and supporting documentation to satisfy the environmental review. Analysis varies based on project scope and could include analysis of a project’s air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, traffic, biological resources, and noise.

Contract Planning Services
For projects that have multiple entitlements such as large residential subdivisions, staff will use the services of a contract planner to manage the entitlement review as well as the CEQA analysis. The contract planner serves as an extension of City staff by managing the application process, coordinating with City staff and the applicant on completeness/scheduling, writing reports and making presentations to the Planning Commission and City Council. Projects that are processed by contract planners are typically a multi-year review process and require coordination with regional agencies as well as City departments.

Request for Qualifications
An RFQ was released on July 10, 2025 and closed on August 13, 2025. The City received a total of 17 submittals. Planning staff reviewed the submittals and graded them using a standardized rubric based on the submittal requirements in the RFQ . Of the submittals, staff has selected the top three consultants to enter into agreements for CEQA services and the top consultant to also enter into an agreement for on-call planning services.

• Raney Planning and Management, Inc. has been selected to provide both CEQA and On-Call Services and has an existing contract with the City.

• Stantec has been selected to provide CEQA services only and has an existing contract with City.

• De Novo Planning Group has been selected to provide CEQA services.

Raney Planning and Management, Inc. and Stantec have successfully worked on several projects for the City. De Novo Planning will provide another option for CEQA services and is the consultant for the General Plan Update.

Re: Request for Qualifications for On-Call CEQA Consulting Services and Contract Planning Services

Dear Ms. Meredith:

On behalf of Raney Planning & Management, Inc., I am pleased to submit our Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) in response to the City of Antioch Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for CEQA Consulting Services and Contract Planning Services. My colleagues and I appreciate the continued opportunity to work with you and the staff at the City of Antioch.

Over the past 26 years, Raney is proud to have completed numerous California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), air quality, and planning related projects. Our experience has provided us with the tools and insight to ensure the needs and expectations of our clients are satisfied, and that the CEQA review is completed in a timely and cost- efficient manner. We have the utmost confidence that Raney’s professiona l team can provide you with unmatched CEQA services.

Raney has prepared CEQA documents for projects throughout the City of Antioch, including, but not limited to, the Creekside Vineyards Environmental Impact Report (EIR), part of the Sand Creek Focus Area Projects . Raney has also prepared several environmental documents for projects from surrounding jurisdictions, including the Bridle Gate EIR for the city of Brentwood, the South Yuba Wastewater EIRs for Yuba County, and Aggie Research Campus (formerly Mace Ranch Innovation Center) EIR in the City of Davis. Raney is experienced in acting as members of City planning staff.

Raney. Raney has provided services such as planning application and design review, preparation of staff reports and conditions of approval, agency coordination, preparation and processing of annexation applications, and preparation and processing of CEQA documents for projects such as the Bridle Gate project for the City of Brentwood and The Ranch project, also part of the Sand Creek Focus Area, for the City of Antioch.

To meet the needs of the City of Antioch, we have provided a summary of Raney’s relevant experience and expertise in preparing CEQA documents, as well as Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Impact Analyses . I will serve as the Project Director and will be responsible for overseeing the environmental review process, coordinating with lead agency staff, and providing quality control. I will be assisted by Division Manager/Air Quality Specialist, Angela DaRosa, as Project Manager, who will be responsible for the day-to-day coordination of the CEQA documentation. For planning, President, Tim Raney, AICP, will serve as Project Director and will be assisted by Senior Planner , Kevin Valente, as Project Manager for planning services. We are confident that Raney’s highly qualified management team and associate staff will prepare an accurate, legally defensible, and comprehensive environmental document.

Thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal for your review and consideration. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,

Rods Stinson, Vice President/ Air Quality Technician

SUBCONSULTANTS
With respect to providing CEQA compliance, r ather than conducting all the necessary technical studies in-house, Raney believes it is more efficient and effective to team with the known technical experts who specialize in a particular field. In this way, Raney can organize a unique team of consultants for each project, who can bring their expertise “to the table” and provide the client with the most defensible documentation and reporting in the timeliest manner. The exception to this is Air Quality and GHG Analyses which Raney prepares in-house, instead of sub-contracting.

4 Raney has provided subconsultants for biological, cultural, noise, geology and soils, hazards, hydrology, traffic, and wildfire evaluation services, all of which are typical CEQA issues requiring analysis. Raney has contracted with these subconsultants in the past for preparation of technical studies to support CEQA documents , as well as write -ups for projects completed with the subconsultants. Raney will work with the City of Antioch in selecting each subconsultant based upon the unique characteristics associated with each project to ensure the most qualified technical assistance. If other CEQA issues require technical reports not covered by Raney’s subconsultants, such as a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment or Water Supply Assessment, Raney will coordinate with the City on selecting an appropriate subconsultant.

10 CEQA/NEPA DOCUMENTATION
Raney is an expert CEQA practitioner and typically serves as the prime environmental consultant for contracts. Raney has assisted public agencies with CEQA compliance for many types of projects, including new development/improvement projects as well as modified projects, the latter of which can often be reviewed under the provisions of Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines 15162, in the form of an Addendum, Subsequent EIR, or Supplemental EIR. Raney is proficient in preparing all types of CEQA documents, including categorical exemption memorandums/assessments, initial study/mitigated negative declarations, program-level EIRs, project -level EIRs, program/project level EIRs, Addendums, Supplemental EIRs, and Joint CEQA/NEPA documents. Raney has prepared numerous Initial Studies and EIRs for projects within Contra Costa County including, but not limited to, the Almond Knolls Apartments IS/MND, Delta Fair Village IS/MND, and Creekside Vineyards at Sand Creek EIR for the City Antioch; the O akley Logistics and Intermodal Center EIR and Oakley Village Subdivision IS/MND for the City of Oakley; Zip- Thru Car Wash IS/MND and Bridle Gate EIR for the City of Brentwood; and the Making Waves Academy IS/MND and Pinole Square IS/MND for the City of Pinole.

Raney is experienced in providing streamlined approaches to CEQA, such as streamlining pursuant to SB 375 allowing for the preparation of a Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) and other streamlining options that have recently been enacted as part of the adopted CEQA Guidelines. For example, Raney completed the Davis Live project for the City of Davis, where the applicant proposed to demolish a two-story dilapidated UC Davis Sigma Nu Fraternity house to redevelop the site with a seven-story 71-unit, 440-bed student housing development. As the environmental consultant, Raney confirmed the project’s qualification for two streamlined approaches to CEQA. Raney examined the consistency of the project with the Transit Priority Project statutory exemption established in Public Resources Code PRC Section 21155.1, as well as determined that the project qualified for a second statutory exemption under PRC Section 21094.5 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.3 for infill projects by preparing Appendix N of the CEQA Guidelines. Additionally, Raney prepared an SCEA for the 19J project in the City of Sacramento, which was for the demolition of two existing commercial buildings to construct a mixed-use residential development with 173 units and 7,000 square feet of retail commercial.

Furthermore, Raney is experienced in providing peer reviews for background/technical reports.

For example, the applicant for The Ridge residential subdivision project in Placer County provided numerous technical reports including a biological resources ass essment, cultural resources assessment, geotechnical report, noise study, and traffic. This required Raney to internally review the applicant’s technical reports at the start of the EIR process and provide a peer review memo to the County which detailed Raney’s findings regarding technical issues, but also to ensure consistency of assumptions used for all studies. The memo was then forwarded to the applicant team to address the peer review comments.

Raney is also experienced in preparing environmental documentation for NEPA projects. For example, Raney prepared Environmental Assessments (EAs) for each phase of the Heritage Commons project in the City of Dixon. The Heritage Commons project consisted of a 164-unit, senior citizen affordable housing development and was separated into three phases of development each requiring separate NEPA compliance. Phase I consisted of the development of six three-story D13

11 residential buildings and a two- story community building. Each residential building included between eight and 12 units, resulting in a total of 59 one -bedroom flats and a two-bedroom manager’s unit. Phase II included the development of six three -story residential buildings and a two-story community building. Each residential building included between eight and 12 units, resulting in a total of 59 one-bedroom flats and a two-bedroom manager’s unit. Phase III consisted of 44 one-bedroom senior apartment units, parking areas, and associated improvements. Of the 44 units, 10 would be located within one three -story building on the western project site parcel and the remaining 34 units would be split between three, three -story buildings on the eastern parcel.

Raney prepared EAs for Phases I, II, and III of the Heritage Commons project, under contract with Neighborhood Partners, LLC to meet the requirements of HUD. The NEPA responsible entity for the project was the City of Dixon and the lead agency for the project was the HCD. The EAs for Phases I, II, and III have been reviewed by HCD and have been approved for release of funds to the applicant.

Moreover, Raney has extensive experience in guiding jurisdictions through the CEQA and NEPA compliance process. For example, Raney prepared an EIR and an EA/FONSI for the El Dorado County Public Safety Facility. The El Dorado County Facilities Department sought to develop a new facility to consolidate the operations of the El Dorado Sheriff’s Department. Raney prepared an EIR to analyze the effects of the proposed project which was certified by the Board of Supervisors. After completion of the CEQA review, the County of El Dorado sought federal USDA Rural Development grant funding for the construction of the project triggering the need for NEPA review. Raney worked with the County Facilities Department and USDA, the NEPA lead agency, to prepare an EA/FONSI which has since been approved by the USDA.

CONTRACT PLANNING SERVICES
In our experience providing on-call and contract planning services, Raney has consistently assisted jurisdictions with review of development applications, including determination of application completeness, review for consistency with general plans, speci fic plans, and zoning codes; management of architectural peer reviews; processing complex entitlements; routing applications; coordination with applicable internal departments and outside agencies; and handling tribal consultation pursuant to AB 52 and SB 18 requirements. Raney has also prepared countless staff reports and resolutions/ordinances, including staff reports on the environmental documents prepared by Raney. For example, as contract planners for the City of Pacifica, Raney prepared staff reports for a number of projects including, the 2355 Beach Boulevard project, the Pacific Skies Estates project, and the 1375 Livingston Avenue project. Additionally, for the City of Antioch, Raney prepared staff reports and the associated environmental documents for new development projects including, the Vineyards at Sand Creek, Almond Knolls Apartments, and the Rocketship School to name a few. Lastly, Raney has assisted and facilitated development agreement negotiations for jurisdictions and has presented to Planning Commissions, City Councils, and Boards of Supervisions on behalf of jurisdiction staff. Raney also currently serves as contract planners to the City of Sacramento processing cannabis -related applications. To date, Raney has processed over 75 Zoning Administrator cannabis production (i.e., cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution), cannabis dispensary Conditional Use Permit applications, and over 50 minor modifications to existing Conditional Use Permits. As part of the planning process, Raney reviews applications for completeness; routes the projects to City Departments for review; D14

12 prepares the public noticing, presentations, and conditions of approval; and presents the Conditional Use Permit applications at Zoning Administrator hearings for review and approval.

What further separates Raney from other contract planning consulting firms is Raney’s ability to successfully guide new projects through both the planning and environmental review processes.

Raney has extensive experience in overseeing projects from application submittal to final plan check. For example, Raney provided planning services and prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Rocketship School project in the City of Antioch, which was for the demolition of an existing on-site structure to construct a new K-5 charter school. Raney reviewed the application for completeness, administered the architectural peer review, drafted the staff reports, prepared the conditions of approval, prepared the resolutions and ordinances, and presented the project to the Planning Commission and City Council . Following the project approval, Raney performed the final plan check prior to issuance of a building permit.

Raney has worked on several complex, large -scale general plan and zoning amendment projects throughout California. One example is the Johnson Rancho project in Wheatland, which contained extensive amendments to the General Plan land use designations and Circulation Element. Raney prepared both the EIR for the project as well as provided planning services for the City of Wheatland which included the processing of the development project through City Council and LAFCo review. In addition, Raney facilitated the City and County tax sharing agreement to allow the project to be annexed to the city. Similar to the experience above, Raney has been involved in many projects which included a Specific Plan/Precise Plan. Raney provided planning services for the Eastview Specific Plan project in the City of Galt, which included assisting with the preparing staff reports, processing the annexation application, and preparing a joint program -, project-level EIR.

Raney’s experience also includes working with jurisdictions to prepare updates to advanced planning documents, such as preparing comprehensive Zoning Ordinance updates for the cities of Galt and Lodi. Raney is also experienced in preparing planning documents for single issues, such as the Employment Zoning District Text and Map Amendment for the City of Live Oak. The project created two separate Employment Zoning Districts: Employment/Office and Employment/Manufacturing, and was intended to prevent future land use conflicts with uses surrounding existing employment Zoning properties. R aney also assisted the Wheatland City Council in establishing a long-term vision for future long-term development of the City, including public facilitation and drafting the Wheatland Community Vision document. Raney facilitated a series of workshops between City Council, Planning Commission, and the local citizens to produce a vision statement and guiding policies in terms of progressive urban planning and Smart Growth principles. Throughout the visioning process, citizens were encouraged to take ownership of the document and the process by incorporating their feedback in establishing a vision for the future of the City. The document is intended to be a “living” document that will continue to develop and be updated with relation to new laws, new technology, arising challenges, and everchanging needs of the community. Raney completed the draft and final Community Vision, which has been adopted by City Council.

D15

13 AIR QUALITY AND GREENHOUSE GAS ANALYSIS
Raney has completed numerous Air Quality Assessments and GHG Analyses for public and private sector clients throughout California. Over the years, Raney has developed excellent working relationships with local air quality management districts and has worked clos ely with representatives from the Bay Area Air District (BAAD), Yolo -Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD), Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD), Placer County Air Pollution Control District (PCAPCD), Northern Sierra Air Quality Management District (NSAQMD), Feather River Air Quality Management District (FRAQMD), and San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD), among others.

What further separates Raney from other air quality firms is our unique understanding of how the air quality and GHG analyses fit into the overall CEQA process. Raney’s reports can be utilized as stand -alone documents in conformance with CEQA or prepared i n a manner that is easily incorporated into a larger CEQA document, such as an Initial Study or EIR. Raney works closely with the lead agency, the air district, and the applicant, as appropriate, to ensure that the mitigation measures are feasible, easy to understand, implementable, and straightforward to sign- off by the lead agency. All air quality and GHG studies are prepared consistent with the regulations and requirements of CEQA, the local air district, and the lead agency.

Additionally, Raney’s air quality team has the ability and experience to prepare more advanced technical analyses. Raney has completed numerous Health Risk Assessments (HRAs) for projects that have the potential to expose nearby sensitive receptors, such as residential developments, to increased health risk impacts from toxic air contaminants associated with gas dispensing facilities, diesel truck trips, and/or construction equipment. For example, Raney prepared an HRA for a student housing project known as the Lincoln40 project in the City of Davis to address the health risk impacts due to construction as well as impacts of the neighboring train tracks and the Interstate 80 freeway on future residents.

Raney’s approach is to coordinate with local air districts to determine the appropriate level of analysis and threshold of significance depending on project specifics. In addition, Raney’s air quality team has experience preparing larger GHG policy documents for jurisdictions, such as the GHG Inventory Update and City Sustainability Plan review for the City of Pittsburg. The air quality team also has experience preparing CAPs, and Raney has completed CAPs for the City of Galt, the City of Wheatland, and a C AP/Sustainability Action Plan (SAP) for the Cosumnes Community Services District (CSD) and is currently preparing a CAP for the City of Manteca.

PEER REVIEWS OF APPLICANT-PROVIDED TECHNICAL REPORTS
As the prime environmental consultant, Raney routinely reviews technical reports prepared by consultants under contract with the applicant team. Raney’s experienced staff can effectively review reports to ensure that all relevant CEQA topics are adequately addressed using current industry standard practices and state-of-the-art models and databases. Raney considers this type of peer review to be a “CEQA -level” peer review. Furthermore, Raney is experienced in providing peer reviews for background/technical reports.

D16

14 For example, the applicant for The Ridge residential subdivision project in Placer County provided numerous technical reports including a biological resources assessment, cultural resources assessment, geotechnical report, noise study, and traffic study. This required Raney to internally review the applicant’s technical reports at the start of the EIR process and provide a peer review memo to the County which detailed Raney’s findings regarding technical issues, but also to ensure consistency of assumptions used for all studies. The memo was then forwarded to the applicant team to address the peer review comments.

In some cases, it is necessary to have “technical” peer reviews performed . Raney typically contracts with technical experts for this purpose. For example, it may be desirable in some cases for a third-party traffic consultant to peer review a traffic report prepared by the applicant’s traffic consultant, including a review of trip generation and distribution estimates, vehicle miles traveled (VMT), traffic volume estimates, etc. In such cases, Raney hires traffic experts who specialize in the field of traffic engineering.

The previously mentioned Aggie Research Center (ARC) EIR required Raney to assemble and manage a team of technical sub -consultants which included a traffic engineering firm, noise consultant, cultural resources specialist and paleontologist, and an urban decay specialist to prepare the necessary technical reports. In addition, Raney worked closely with the applicant’s consultants to ensure that their technical products addressed all CEQA topics. This included Raney’s coordination with the civil engineering team regarding the technical water and sewer studies for the project, as well as the biological consultant and hazards consultant for the project.

Raney also worked directly with the City’s hydrology consultant to address the multi -faceted drainage and flooding analysis performed for the project. The complexity of the project, the size of the sub- consultant team, and the City’s requirement of a compressed timeframe necessitated extensive coordination between Raney and the sub- consultant team to ensure all issues had been addressed adequately and accurately within schedule and budget.

APPROACH
Raney’s approach to preparing environmental documents uses the most efficient and cost-effective process possible. For every environmental document, Raney will coordinate closely with the City to determine the level of environmental review necessary to meet the requirements of CEQA, including the preparation of an exemption IS/ND, IS/MND, or an EIR. All Draft and Final environmental documents and related work products will be prepared in accordance with the criteria, standards, and provisions of CEQA, Section 21000 et seq. of the Public Resources Code and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.), and the regulations, requirements, and procedures of the City of Antioch. Raney is also experienced in providing streamlined approaches to CEQA, such as streamlining pursuant to SB 375 and other streamlining options that have recently been enacted. Raney is also currently working on projects pursuing streamlining approaches following the newly enacted AB 130. Raney will seek to streamline as appropriate, including modified Initial Study Checklists pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15183. Following determination of the appropriate CEQA document, Raney will provide the City with a complete scope of services, including schedule and budget for review and approval.

D17

15 Raney’s approach to planning services is to act as an extension of City staff to review the development application for completeness, assist with agency consultation, as well as noticing and attending meetings. Raney will work closely with the City to identify the appropriate level of planning review and develop a detailed scope of work, schedule, and budget accordingly for each project. The scope of work will be customized to meet the needs of the City and the unique issues associated with the proposed project. All planning documents will be prepared in accordance with the regulations, requirements, and procedures of the City of Antioch. Raney will remain objective in serving as planning consultants to the City a nd will coordinate with City staff to make the ultimate determination on conclusions. For each project, Raney will coordinate extensively with City Departments to ensure a complete and thorough review of the application. Raney will serve as the City’s point of contact with the applicant team.

Raney provides our clients with a hands -on, communication-focused approach. Raney firmly believes that early anticipation and constant communication between the lead agency, community stakeholders, and local citizens is the key to the success of a project. Raney will work closely with City staff at the beginning of the process to identify which issues are of greatest concern to the City of Antioch and the public, as well as establishing communication protocols. By identifying these issues early in the process, Raney can ensure that those issues are adequately addressed.

Should problems arise during the project review, Raney’s policy would be to immediately contact the City to discuss the most appropriate means of addressing the issue.

Raney is experienced with working on controversial under intense public scrutiny. Such projects require not only an expert -level understanding of the regulations of CEQA and recent case law, but also a diplomatic, objective approach to addressing public concerns. Raney believes that some dissent and unrest may be eliminated by the early involvement of project stakeholders and concerned citizens. This early involvement provides Raney with direction on the key issues of greatest concern to the public. By identifying these issues early in the CEQA process, Raney can ensure these issues are addressed with special attention and provide stakeholders with the information needed to address public concerns, make informed decisions, and smooth the environmental review process.

What further separates Raney from other contract planning consulting firms is Raney’s ability to successfully guide new projects through both the planning and environmental review processes.

For multiple jurisdictions, Raney has provided both planning and CEQA review services, such as preparing an annexation application, staff reports, and an EIR for the Bridle Gate in the City of Brentwood and preparing staff reports and an EIR for the Vineyards at Sand Creek project in the City of Antioch.

Raney is able to provide all services outlined above and is certain that our experience providing CEQA documentations services and contract planning services for City of Antioch and other jurisdictions throughout northern California, as well as Raney’s key staff members’ experience working in local government planning, uniquely equips Raney to provide the City of Antioch with exemplary environmental review services and contract planning services.

III. EXPERIENCE

D19

17 Raney has included five project write-ups, which include a summary of the work performed; total project cost (including approved budget and contract amendments); percentage of work Raney was responsible for; period over which the work was completed; client reference contact information; and a statement about the adherence to the schedule and budget of the project.

Sand Creek Focus Area Projects – Environmental and Planning Services Client: City of Antioch
Raney has served as contract planning staff and environmental consultants for almost all of the development applications in the Sand Creek Focus Area in the City of Antioch, including the Aviano Addendum, Promenade/Vineyards at Sand Creek EIR, The Ranch EIR, Creekside Vineyards at Sand Creek EIR, and Albers Ranch EIR. The Sand Creek Focus Area o f the City of Antioch General Plan is located in southern Antioch and is designated for open space, residential, commercial, and mixed -use. Currently, Raney is providing planning and environmental review services for the Albers Ranch project located in the Sand Creek Focus Area directly south of the Aviano project in the City of Antioch and has provided planning and environmental review services for the Creekside Vineyards at Sand Creek project. The Sand Creek Focus Area projects have received public scrutiny and Raney has coordinated extensively with the City during the environmental and planning process.

Creekside Vineyards at Sand Creek Project
The Creekside Vineyards at Sand Creek project consisted of a 220 single-family residential unit development, parks, and associated infrastructure on approximately 58.9 acres. Requested project entitlements included a General Plan Amendment from Open Space/Senior Housing and Hillside, Estate and Executive Residential/Open Space to Medium Low Density Residential/Open Space , Rezone from Open Space to Planned Development District with a Master Development Plan, Development Agreement, Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Use Permit, Resource Management Plan, and Design Review. Raney was under contract with the City to provide planning assistance in the review and processing of the project application. Raney was under contract with the City to also prepare an EIR for the project which focused on impacts related to AQ/GHG and Transportation. Of particular note is how the project required major roadway and infrastructure improvements that required coordination on timing of improvements with each phase of the project. Raney prepared and presented the Planning Commission and City Council staff reports, as well as assisted with preparation of the necessary ordinances and resolution. The EIR was certified and the project approved. Subsequent to the approval, Raney reviewed Improvement Plans and Building Permit plans for compliance with conditions of approval.

The Ranch
Raney worked closely with the City of Antioch staff to provide planning services for The Ranch project, which is located on approximately 550 acres in the City’s Sand Creek Focus Area. The Ranch project consists of three phases, totaling over 1,500 residential units. For each phase, Raney assisted the City by reviewing application materials for completeness determinations, coordinating with various departments and outside agencies to resolve project issues and identify potential conditions of approval. Raney also prepared Planning Commission and City Council staff reports, inclusive of all necessary resolutions and ordinances, and presented the staff reports at the public hearings on the project entitlements.

Bridle Gate – Environmental and Planning Services
Client: City of Brentwood
Raney served as an extension of City of Brentwood staff to provide environmental and planning consulting services for the Bridle Gate Project. The project site is bounded by Old Sand Creek Road to the north, State Route (SR) 4 to the east, a single -family residential development (Brentwood Hills) to the south, and the edge of the Brentwood Planning Area and the City of Antioch’s city limits to the west. A small segment of existing San Jose Avenue bounds the project site at its farthest southeastern corner. The western terminus of Sand Creek Road, constructed as part of the interchange with SR 4, is located adjacent to the eastern site boundary.

The proposed project would include subdivision of the site for development of 272 single -family detached residences, as well as associated improvements within the project site, including two parks, open space, stormwater detention and treatment areas, utility connections, and construction of an internal roadway network on approximately 92.96 acres. The 36.82 acres of land located north of the future Sand Creek Road extension are on a separate legal parcel shown as a designated remainder on the vesting tentative subdivision map (VTSM) and are therefore not proposed to be developed as part of this application.

Raney worked closely with the Community Development Department throughout the planning and environmental review processes associated with the project. For example, Raney reviewed the application materials for completeness with respect to the City’s Municip al Code requirements.

Raney coordinated with various City departments and outside agencies to route the application and obtain review comments and prospective conditions of approval. Raney routinely met with City staff and other departments and agencies, as needed, to resolve project issues and identify acceptable solutions. Subsequent to Raney’s completion of the Draft EIR, Raney prepared Planning Commission and City Council staff reports, inclusive of all appurtenant resolutions and ordinances for City review and finalization. Raney presented the staff reports at the public hearings for the entitlements and answered questions posed by decision-makers. The EIR was certified and the project entitlements approved.

South Yuba Regional Wastewater Project – Environmental Services Client: Yuba County
The South Yuba County Regional Wastewater (SYCRW) Project consisted of the following two components, which underwent separate environmental review in accordance with CEQA: the Wheatland Regional Sewer Pipeline Project (Wheatland Project) and the Wheatland/ SSO Infrastructure Project (OPUD Project). The SYCRW Project is partially funded by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, a state funding program partially funded by the federal government. The D21

19 funding program required the preparation of CEQA+ documentation, which involved the completion of a NEPA -like process. Raney coordinated extensively with the City of Wheatland, Yuba County, the Olivehurst Public Utility District, the State Water Resource C ontrol Board, the USACE, the USFWS, the Office of Historic Preservation, as well as other agencies to prepare the documentation. Raney’s agility and experience was key to answering the needs of federal, state, and local agencies as the SYCRW documentation was prepared.

Wheatland Project
The proposed project includes construction of an eight-mile-long sewer pipeline located within the City of Wheatland and unincorporated areas within Yuba County. The pipeline was designed to accommodate wastewater flows from a maximum of 5,500 Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs) or

1.5 MGD average dry weather flow and 3.3 MGD peak flow from the City of Wheatland. In addition, the City proposed to construct three sewer pump stations spaced along the pipeline alignment to convey all flows from existing and proposed development within the City to OPUD’s point of connection. The Final EIR was certified as of February 2023.

OPUD Project
OPUD proposes to expand its wastewater collection system to provide capacity for wastewater from the City of Wheatland that would be received and treated at OPUD’s WWTP to take advantage of unused treatment capacity at the WWTP. The OPUD Project includes improvements to assist in the mitigation of sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) in the District’s existing service area of historic (Old) Olivehurst. One of the new sewer pipelines for the project would be routed near areas that were subject to SSOs. Incrementally oversizing the new sewer pipelines to accommodate flow from the existing Old Olivehurst collection system was determined to be a cost -effective solution for SSO mitigation.

Aggie Research Campus (ARC) project (formerly) Mace Ranch Innovation Center– Environmental Services
Client: City of Davis
The formerly Mace Ranch Innovation Center (MRIC) Project EIR in the City of Davis was a highly controversial project that consisted of the development of a 2,654,000- sf innovation center. The MRIC Project required a SOI Amendment, Annexation and Prezoning, as well as a General Plan Amendment, Preliminary Planned Development, Site Plan and Architectural Review, and a Development Agreement. Given the scale, complexity, and location, the project was one of intense public scrutiny.

Raney prepared the Draft EIR, including an equal level review of a Mixed-Use Alternative, which was released for public review and, given the complexity and substantial size of the technical environmental analysis, an extended public comment period for the local community was given.

Raney maintained a complete administrative record, including emails, phone logs, computer screenshots, and electronic and hard copy bibliographic materials related to the entire EIR process.

D22

20 The EIR proceeded through the public hearing process and was certified in 2017. Because of the project characteristics, it required a vote of the citizens, which resulted in the project not being approved. Subsequent to the voter denial, the applicant submitted a revised version of the Mixed- Use Alternative and renamed the project to Aggie Research Campus (ARC) project. Raney prepared a Subsequent EIR (SEIR) for the ARC project. Given the project history, the ARC project was extremely controversial and contentious and required Raney to go above and beyond to assist the City to respond to additional comments prior to hearings. In addition, the project’s timeframe was condensed due to the required local election, which required Raney to coordinate with the City to determine creative methods for meeting the client’s timeframe.

Raney, under contract with the City of Davis, completed the SEIR which was certified in June 2020. The voters again declined the project. Since Raney’s completion of the SEIR, the applicant has changed the name of the project to the Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus (DiSC) and submitted yet another, smaller version of the project. Raney prepared an Addendum for the DiSC version of the project, noting it was within the envelope of the analysis in the SEIR. The project, however, has not moved through the public process or additional public vote.
