Staff Report

TO: City Council
FROM: Carole Kendrick, Planning Manager
DATE May 16, 2023
SUBJECT: Award of Contracts for On-Call Planning and Environmental Services

Description Selection of six (6) consulting firms to provide on-call planning and environmental services to further enhance the level of customer service.

Background and Analysis:

The City of Beaumont released a request for proposals (RFP) for on-call planning and environmental services on February 16, 2023, with a scope that includes the preparation of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents, peer review of applicant submitted CEQA documents, and extension of staff services. The RFP was released in consistency with Chapter 3.02 of the Beaumont Municipal Code regarding procurement of professional services .

On May 2, 2023, the City received 24 proposals from a variety of professional firms to provide the requested services and the RFP was accessed by 195 firms. A panel consisting of the Deputy City Manager, Planning Manager, and the two (2) Assistant Planners reviewed and rated all of the proposals consistent with Beaumont Municipal Code Section 3.02.040.

Due to the high volume of proposals received, the panel identified 14 firms for possible consideration based on a cursory review of the proposals. Upon further review of the remaining proposals, the panel selected eight (8) firms for oral interviews.

The oral interviews consisted of evaluations based on the following criteria:

 Understanding scope of services (15%)
 Demonstrated professional skills and credentials (15%)  Related experience (20%)
 Approach to performing services (15%)
 Familiarity with City, County and State procedures (15%)  References/Satisfaction of previous clients (10%)
 Quality of proposal (5%)

 Cost of services (5%)

The panel, based on a combination of the evaluation, scoring and oral interviews, is recommending six (6) firms that were presented to the RFP sub-committee. Staff is recommending the following six (6) consultants to provide on-call planning and environmental services for the City:

 Kimley-Horn
 Placeworks
 Psomas
 MIG
 The Altum Group
 Chambers Group, Inc.

Currently, the Planning Department utilizes two (2) on-call firms that include Placeworks and the Chambers Group, Inc. These firms have successfully provided peer review services for all current and advanced planning projects, prepared CEQA documents for Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and provided staff with technical support on CEQA related questions.

Staff is recommending an expansion of on-call service providers to further enhance customer service by having a variety of firms that can peer review based on cost and timing. The RFP included extension of Planning staff in areas other than environmental document review or preparation. As needed, the consultant may be requested to provide Planning project review services for private land development p rojects within the city, in an effort to maintain a high level of customer service.

Section 3.02.060 indicates that City Council approval is required for all contracts for professional services when the cost of services is $75,000 or more. The contracts that are proposed for recommendation are for Planning and CEQA services that are paid with pass-through fees collected from the project applicant and include a 20% administration fee that is collected by the City to manage the review.

Extension of staff services, if needed, will also be a pass-through fee paid by the applicant for deposit-based applications. CEQA document preparation for City sponsored projects is the only service that will include an expenditure subject to City Manager or City Council approval, depending on the amount. Staff has in the past utilized environmental firms to prepare CEQA documents for various Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) including Fire Station #106, the Pennsylvania Avenue widening and the Second Street extension.

These firms demonstrated the most efficient approach, responsiveness, and ability to provide quality Planning services to the City. Staff believes that having six (6) on-call service providers will allow the City flexibility to meet the current Plann ing needs as well as provide competitive, high-quality results.

Fiscal Impact:

Staff estimates that the cost to prepare the staff report is approximately $300. These contracts are funded primarily by fees paid by applicants as part of their project (pass through). The City retains a 20% administrative fee for peer review services.

Occasionally a consultation is needed outside of a project, should that cost go above the signing authorization of the City Manager, it would be brought before the City Council for purchase order approval.

Recommended Action:

Approve the on-call services contracts with Kimley-Horn, Placeworks, Psomas, MIG, the Altum Group and Chambers Group, Inc.

City of Beaumont
Founded at the turn of the 20th century, Beaumont is proud of its rich history and rural charm.

The town served as a welcome “stopping-off point” for early travelers making their way from the Mohave desert to Los Angeles, and later for L.A. residents eager to vacation in Palm Springs.

Some, however, set down roots, drawn by the beautiful mountain vistas, clean, crisp air, and the abundance of cherry and apple orchards. The City is located in the western portion of Riverside County and is bounded on the west by Calimesa and unincorporated areas, on the north by the unincorporated County areas (Cherry Valley), on the south by unincorporated County areas and the City of San Jacinto, and on the east by the City of Banning. The land area within the City’s boundaries is approximately 26 square miles.

Beaumont provides the very best of rustic, rural beauty and charm, combined with the planned growth, abundant recreational opportunities, and rich community life offered by the finest Southern California cities. The progressive city of over 45,000 people, sits at 2,612 feet in elevation between Riverside and Palm Springs in the Inland Empire. The city contains 16 city parks, including a 20-acre sports park and a municipal pool, as well as an extensive trails system. The Beaumont School District, with 10 schools, has an outstanding reputation, and ranks highly in the Pass Area. The city is rounded out with various local service clubs, a new state of the art community recreation center, a library, two four-star golf courses, and multiple churches.

The City interacts with numerous other government agencies, including but not limited to the California Department of Parks and Recreation, the California Department of Transportation, the County of Riverside, and the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board.

The City Government
The Beaumont City Council is comprised of five Council members, each sharing equal voting powers on all items coming before the Council. Council members are elected to at-large

In preparation for this Request for Proposals (RFP), we carefully reviewed the City’s Scope of Services. We feel strongly that the team assembled for this contract is the right and best team to assist the City in successfully completing your goals.

The City will need a team that is not only multidisciplined—providing a diverse set of skills and services—but also, and more importantly, that understands the key components of project delivery.

Kimley-Horn provides on-call services to public agencies statewide and our staff is organized to address the needs of a wide range of projects. We know that being on-call means being available to promptly address agency requests as they arise. Our approach to on-call contracts is based on developing a team-oriented answer to the project review process. Key characteristics that distinguish Kimley-Horn include:
• Rapid mobilization of staff for each agency request, including immediate identification of the key personnel and subconsultants needed for each project. The availability of a wide range of in-house staff provides efficiency and consistent quality of the technical analyses. • Ongoing communication and consultation to address issues that arise during the project review process. The collaborative process maintains project progress and results in user- friendly documents.
• Commitment of senior level management to the project to provide close coordination with the City to confirm technical accuracy and to carefully monitor budget and schedule compliance.
• Responsiveness to any significant issues of concern raised by responsible and regulatory agencies and the public.
• Flexibility to tailor our approach to meet the specific needs of each project and client.

Scope Control
We have a three-part, proactive approach to managing and controlling project scopes:

1. Frequent communication and coordination with the City project manager and key stakeholders from project initiation to closeout. Regular interface with the agency project managers is the best way to control scope and budget creep, limit project surprises

City of Beaumont | EVOC89005.2023 4
and/or risks, and understand potential changes in the project needs. Project communication levels required for successful project delivery will vary depending on the size and scope of the project.

2. Maintain a clearly defined scope of work to ensure that the City and Kimley-Horn project managers have the same project understanding and expectations at the start of a project. Over the years, we have developed a solid understanding of the project process and have tailored our approach to project scopes and fees accordingly. A clearly defined scope and fee helps to ensure that expectations of both the agency and Kimley-Horn project managers can be met and projects can be delivered more efficiently.

3. Regular monitoring and updating of a project work plan, which is created at the start of each project. The project work plan is tailored to the specific type and size of the project, and includes basic information such as project scope, budget, and schedule as well as additional project specific items such as: document control, Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA), risk management, staffing, and communication plans.

Subconsultants
In an effort to provide the City with the depth of resources necessary to seamlessly complete any project stemming from this on-call, Kimley-Horn has partnered with three specialty subconsultants. These firms are not only talented from a technical standpoint, but also have an understanding of the local environment and strong working relationships with members of the Kimley-Horn team. Brief firm profiles for our teaming partners are provided below.

ELMT’s relationships with wildlife agencies, regulatory agencies, federal land managers and various conservation groups allow the firm to serve as a liaison between the applicant and these agencies/organizations.

C. Approach to Delivering the Scope of Services
On-Call Environmental Services Approach
Kimley-Horn understands that the environmental setting in which CEQA and NEPA documents are prepared is dynamic and subject to frequent changes in practice, policy, legislation, and case law. This is not to say that every project is complicated or will be litigated. However, we work very hard to ensure that every environmental document and technical report that we prepare, or peer review reflects all applicable rules and regulations and appropriate legal interpretations.

City of Beaumont | EVOC89005.2023 6
Our technical approach for CEQA/NEPA includes:
• Evaluation of projects in light of case law, regulations, and proposed revisions to the State CEQA Guidelines
• Working with City staff to review and update the standard CEQA templates to reflect these recent changes, if necessary
• Categorical exemption review in light of case law regarding factors including “unusual circumstances”
• Consistent project description throughout the CEQA/NEPA document and technical studies • Consideration of project design features
• Carefully citing support for reliance upon existing regulatory programs or prior CEQA documentation
• Consideration of off-site improvements, if required
• Evaluation of potential impacts of mitigation measures • Brief discussion of reasons for not pursuing certain mitigation measures or alternatives considered or proposed by others
• Submission of initial sample work products to streamline City staff review • Provide full service administrative support, including staff reports, meeting graphics, PowerPoints, etc.

On-Call Planning Services Approach
Comprehensive planning requires understanding historical trends, current conditions, and projections of future conditions related to transportation modes and facilities, land use patterns, housing types and densities, socioeconomic characteristics, human behavior, funding opportunities, and political support. Our staff has the experience, depth, and flexibility to assist local governments with comprehensive planning, whether the projects require specialized experience or are short turnarounds, politically sensitive, or complex.

Our approach to individual work tasks is organized by project phase and discipline type. The anticipated labor effort is then summarized in a matrix with individual work tasks represented in rows and anticipated professional staff effort represented in columns. This becomes the basis for establishing and tracking the project budget. We track the project budget on a percent- complete basis (regardless of fee type) in order to measure performance during each accounting report period (semi-monthly).

The project approach also includes the base for the project staffing plan. The summary of anticipated professional staff effort is applied to a project milestone schedule as a basis for identifying and planning needed staffing resources. This process occurs at the project setup phase and monthly throughout the duration of the project as a part of Kimley-Horn’s “cast- ahead” program of workload scheduling and forecasting.

City of Beaumont | EVOC89005.2023 7
We tailor each task’s scope of work specifically to the needs of the individual project and the City. Our familiarity with local standards and regulatory agencies helps us determine what will be necessary to assist the City with each task order. We will approach each project in the same diligent and comprehensive manner including:
• Scope of work review and understanding
• Data collection and review
• Kick-off meeting
• Site visit with City staff
• Evaluation of existing conditions
• Project evaluation and innovation
• Concept layouts and reports
• Interim site walk and review concept
layout of study findings
• Response to comments
• Innovative project designs
• Final design and report
• Public outreach or City Council
presentations (if required)
• Invoicing and budget management
• Schedule management
• QC/QA
• Meeting agendas, minutes, and monthly
status reports
• Closure
Effective and Proactive Communication
Kick-off meetings held internally with the entire project team and externally with the client are a valuable way to get started on the right foot. Kimley-Horn’s clients expect a high level of responsiveness, communication, and quality. These high standards have been ingrained in Kimley-Horn’s staff through our continued service to clients that must adhere to demanding schedules, a strict quality assurance program, and open lines of communication.

Our experience has shown that there really is no such thing as “over-communication.” Effective communication begins with listening to our client’s ideas and goals for each project. Making certain that our team and our client’s staff are on the same page throughout the course of the project will help avoid or mitigate potential problems and issues that may arise. To do this, we will:
• Keep you informed through progress meetings and progress reports o Meetings can be held in-person or virtually through teleconferencing/videoconferencing applications. Whether it is through virtual video meetings, calls, messages, and/or in- person meetings, we will not only be able to keep things moving on a project, but we will also be available to meet with City staff at a moment’s notice if something critical needs to be discussed.
• Provide you with regular conference calls to keep you aware of critical issues as they arise and assure your continued input throughout the process
• Encourage ongoing electronic communications among all members of the project team, including email and an Internet ShareFile site. This will allow team members convenient and

City of Beaumont | EVOC89005.2023 8
fast access to information and serve as a tool to keep everyone up to speed with the progress of the project and upcoming meetings and activities Public Outreach
Kimley-Horn is sensitive to the pivotal role of meaningful public involvement programs that enable area residents to establish their priorities. Our experience in providing a broad range of services helps in the successful implementation of your goals while addressing the specific challenges that each project entails. Kimley-Horn is known for developing innovative approaches to projects that involve neighborhood participation. We understand that some projects require community involvement and acceptance, and we have developed effective methods of bringing the community into the process. We are strongly committed to conducting public participation programs that educate, inform, and build consensus for a particular solution, and we have professionals on staff who are native Spanish speakers experienced in conducting bilingual outreach services. Some of our public involvement services include interactive websites, graphic design, newsletters, town hall meetings, stakeholder meetings, press releases, brochures, and educational seminars.

Quality Control
Since our founding, Kimley-Horn has
aggressively pursued a commitment to quality
for every task, deliverable, and service provided
by the firm. Recognizing the importance of
careful quality control, Kimley-Horn developed a
QC/QA manual that every project manager and
task manager is required to know and use. We
strive for our procedures to facilitate the delivery
of high-quality services that satisfy our client’s
needs. There will be no learning curve relative to
quality for the Kimley-Horn team.

Schedule and Cost Control
As our client references will confirm, Kimley-Horn has an excellent record of completing projects on schedule and within budget. We have a sophisticated Management Information System (MIS)—including software such as the CostPoint Engineering Accounting system and Microsoft Power BI—that allows our project managers to monitor budgets closely. Using the Project Effort Reports generated twice monthly by our MIS, project managers gain a clear understanding of the project scope early in the process to develop a realistic, well thought-out work plan. Once the work plan is developed with the stakeholders, the project manager communicates to the project team the key milestones and submittal dates—including time for QC reviews—as well as the importance of maintaining the established schedule and budget.

City of Beaumont | EVOC89005.2023 9
This communication, along with teamwork and organization, results in successful projects and satisfied clients.

The best approach to keeping a project on schedule is to create a risk register whereby we:

1. Track each potential issue

2. Define the criticality of each potential issue

3. Identify the steps and dates for resolution of each potential issue This approach holds the team accountable and forms the basis for the sequence of steps each team member needs to take to reach resolution and keep the project moving forward.

H. Scope of Services
Kimley-Horn has been the prime consultant for various environmental, planning, and traffic engineering projects with services similar to those listed in the City’s RFQ. Below is a snapshot of the specific services we offer.

Environmental Impact Analyses
Kimley-Horn provides a full range of environmental services for public works and land development projects. Our environmental compliance managers have worked on numerous complex, multidisciplinary projects requiring technical experience, creative solutions for design modifications or mitigation, and a thorough understanding of local, state, and federal regulations.

Kimley-Horn produces environmental documents that are sensitive to the public’s concern for resource protection and community impacts as well as to the real-world issues associated with the cost and feasibility of implementing mitigation programs. Our team draws on years of experience with private developments and public works improvements to produce understandable documents and assess project designs that minimize impacts to the natural environment and community. Whether our role is to prepare CEQA or NEPA documents and technical studies, or to peer review this information, we understand the inherent complexities of processing projects through the environmental review process. Our staff has an excellent track record in preparing thorough CEQA documents that are capable of withstanding stakeholder scrutiny and legal challenge.

Our environmental professionals not only have years of experience in developing CEQA and NEPA documents for public works and private development projects, but also receive regular training on changes in CEQA and NEPA, and applicable case law affecting the interpretation of current statutes. Kimley-Horn staff has been responsible for preparing all types of documents from IS/MNDs and CEs through comprehensive EIRs. Our team has also prepared Mitigation Monitoring Implementation Schedules (MMIS) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Programs (MMRP).

Kimley-Horn’s environmental documents are supported by in-house professionals with experience in civil engineering, land development, hydrology, water quality, water and wastewater, traffic analysis, transportation planning, aviation, landscape architecture, and GIS and CADD. Our environmental services also include Environmental Site Assessments (Phase I ESAs) to address Areas of Potential Environmental Concern based on applicable protocols including a site visit, staff interviews, the property’s current and historical uses, literature/records review, and aerial photo review.

City of Beaumont | EVOC89005.2023 19
Air Quality Analyses
Kimley-Horn has the breadth and depth of experience preparing air quality technical studies. In every type of technical study, our team deals with assessing project air quality impacts from fugitive dust and exhaust emissions from construction activities (such as excavation, trucks hauling soil, grading, clearing), to area source emissions (direct emissions located at the project site), and mobile sources (such as motor vehicles and locomotives). We are conversant with requirements of CARB and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) including their CEQA Air Quality Handbook, the South Coast Air Basin’s attainment and nonattainment status and Air Quality Management Control Measures, methodologies to assess air quality impacts as well as effectively using various industry models (e.g., CalEEMod, AERMOD, EMFAC, etc.) and U.S. EPA AP-42 emissions factors to quantify emissions for comparisons to CEQA threshold levels. We are skilled at the development of realistic and feasible mitigation measures, where applicable. We develop air quality technical reports to address CEQA requirements to demonstrate whether a proposed project will conflict with or obstruct implementation of applicable air quality plans; violate air quality standards or increase air quality violations; result in a cumulative net increase of a nonattainment area pollutant; expose sensitive receptors to impacts; or create odors. Our success in developing CEQA/NEPA air quality analyses is demonstrated through our repeat business with large public works infrastructure projects and land development projects.

Kimley-Horn also prepares Health Risk Assessments (HRA) in accordance with U.S. EPA and the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) guidelines to evaluate potential health risks associated with Toxic Air Contaminants (TAC). An HRA is typically required when a new receptor is proposed near an existing source of toxic pollutants (e.g., freeways, distribution centers, factories, power plants, refineries, etc.), or when new sources of pollutants are proposed near existing receptors, such as Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM). Our capabilities include emission inventory preparation, meteorological air dispersion modeling, and risk calculation as well as identifying feasible mitigation if necessary.

In addition, Kimley-Horn’s climate change specialists are continuously developing sound scientific regulatory assessments and strategies within the rapidly changing regulatory environment. We advise both public and private clients on GHG policies and strategies, along with the potential impacts they have on new carbon constrained businesses for a sustainable future.

Acoustical Analyses
Kimley-Horn staff conduct noise studies to assist in meeting environmental obligations on land use and transportation projects, present noise abatement measures, and develop noise discipline reports for several environmental on-call agreements. Work orders under these contracts include preparing noise analyses to support conducting field measurements utilizing Type I noise measurement instrumentation, incorporating traffic data into the FHWA Traffic

City of Beaumont | EVOC89005.2023 20
Noise Model (TNM) or the FHWA RD-77-108 model to analyze traffic impacts, utilizing the FHWA Road Construction Noise Model for predicting construction noise levels, and using the SoundPLAN software to develop detailed models of multiple stationary and mobile noise sources. Our involvement has produced the following results: assisted cities and counties with specialized experience in noise issues on a short-notice, provided highly skilled staff on site to respond to critical schedule constraints, developed plans for handling environmental technical issues, assisted in setting environmental policy for the agency, conducted presentations to executives regarding policy, and addressed community concerns.

Biological Resource Assessments
Kimley-Horn has supplemented our proposed in-house team with external partners Cadre Environmental and ELMT to provide biological resource assessments. Ruben Ramirez with Cadre Environmental is a research biologist who has experience conducting focused habitat assessments, surveys, and natural history research for federal and state listed flora and fauna for over 29 years throughout California. In addition to conducting sensitive species research, Ruben is also responsible for developing GIS databases including creation, database development, and map production. Additionally, ELMT has in-house biologists experienced in the Federal and State Endangered Species Acts, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the California Department of Fish and Game Code, the Clean Water Act, and biological analysis under CEQA and NEPA. ELMT also has extensive experience navigating the rules and regulations of the Western Riverside County MSHCP and Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP). ELMT’s relationships with wildlife agencies, regulatory agencies, federal land managers, and various conservation groups allow the firm to serve as a liaison between the applicant and these agencies/organizations.

Cultural Resource Assessments
Kimley-Horn staffs Cultural Resources Management (CRM) professionals that meet SOI Professional Qualifications for Archaeology and History. We have extensive experience conducting all phases of archaeological fieldwork and reporting under applicable state and federal law, such as NHPA, NEPA, and CEQA. We also have many years of experience managing process for inadvertent discoveries of human remains and the inventory/repatriation of existing archaeological collections subject to state and federal law, such as the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and California Health & Safety Code (Section 7050.5). We offer various services in support of the preparation and completion of Cultural Resources Assessments, such as drafting/reviewing Scopes of Work (SOWs), overseeing or performing Phase I, II, and III data gathering and fieldwork, conducting Tribal outreach, and drafting/reviewing Phase I, II, and III reports. The firm also offers support for government-to-government Tribal Consultation and drafting/reviewing cultural resource-based project mitigation and conditions and can manage the creation and implementation of various cultural resource-based management plans created for projects and land management efforts

City of Beaumont | EVOC89005.2023 21
(Cultural Resources Management Plans, Monitoring and Treatment Plans, Plans of Action, etc.).

Traffic Engineering
Kimley-Horn offers complete traffic engineering services in-house. We have completed thousands of traffic engineering projects, ranging from major area-wide systems involving hundreds of intersections to single intersection designs and analyses. Our traffic engineering staff includes licensed traffic engineers that are specialists in all aspects of traffic engineering and operations. Our specialties include intersection design, traffic signal communication and system integration design, traffic signs and marking plans, traffic control plans, traffic impact studies, traffic calming studies, speed zone studies, traffic safety and operations studies, accident analysis and expert testimony, pedestrian and bicycle safety programs, parking studies and designs, site access and circulation studies, and general consultation in traffic engineering. Summaries of a few of these services are provided below.

Traffic Impact Analysis (TIAs). Kimley-Horn has performed thousands of TIAs throughout California. In addition to preparing these studies, we have reviewed TIAs submitted by other consultants for local jurisdictions. We have also assisted a number of local jurisdictions in developing traffic study ordinances and report guidelines.

SB 743/VMT Analysis. With our highly experienced team of professionals, Kimley-Horn has amassed significant experience with vehicle miles traveled (VMT) analyses and SB 743 compliance including:
• Establishing more than 30 California public agencies’ (i.e., cities, counties, and airports) thresholds, policies, and custom VMT calculation tools for SB 743 compliance • Completing dozens of project-level VMT assessments using a variety of methods, including transportation demand management (TDM), GIS, Big Data, and qualitative techniques • Presenting SB 743 educational materials more than 100 times to audiences including dozens of public agencies, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), and the Association of Environmental Planners (AEP)
• Authoring SB 743 related National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) reports and abstracts that have been accepted into and presented at ITE’s Western Conference
From this experience, we understand that while the California’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) guidance related to SB 743 has been a helpful introduction to using VMT to evaluate projects it does not provide a complete solution. There are a multitude of complex practical issues, including many land use types that are not addressed by the OPR guidance.

Our experience has provided us with the ability to quickly evaluate a project’s VMT impact on the regional roadway network and identify implementable mitigation strategies.

City of Beaumont | EVOC89005.2023 22
To date, we have built significant experience implementing VMT mitigation across most of the state based on the application of TDMs and the identification of infrastructure/project-based solutions both at a program and project level. In addition to including mitigation strategies in all of the 20+ SB 743 Implementation Programs we have been responsible for, we have been working with several jurisdictions, including the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) and Santa Cruz County, to begin planning their VMT-Banking/Exchange programs.

Most recently we completed a VMT Banking Program in the City of Salinas. Programmatic approaches that rely on collectively funding projects appear to hold great promise for VMT mitigation as they allow a project to obtain an amount of mitigation commensurate with their impact, make a single payment, and avoid the complexity of ongoing TDM management, and do not require mitigation monitoring.

Programmatic approaches can also provide a public benefit in terms of funding transportation improvements that would not otherwise be constructed, resulting in improvements to congestion, GHG emissions, increased transportation choices, and additional opportunities for active transportation.

Planning Services
Our team of planning professionals understands the interrelated nature of development policy and employs a “360 degree” view of planning. We incorporate this holistic approach in our projects and create plans, programs, and processes that are effective tools for guiding future growth and change. Our areas of experience include:

General Plans and Specific Plans. Our team has developed General Plans and Specific Plans for numerous jurisdictions throughout California and is well-versed in the new legislative requirements, including AB 1358, the Complete Streets Act, AB 32, and SB 375. Kimley-Horn also has extensive experience in the development of Specific Plans primarily focused on existing urbanized environments. Our plans provide for customized development, design guidance, development standards, and entitlement procedures. Additionally, our expertise includes the development of public improvements such as streetscape/urban design, infrastructure, parking facilities, and community amenities.

Land Use Planning and Zoning. Kimley-Horn’s long history of land planning encompasses planned communities, shopping centers, office complexes, infill development, and major mixed-use developments. As part of our pre-development services, we provide an analysis of each property for its highest and best use given current and future markets, investigate existing regulatory constraints, and explore alternative development concepts. Our land use regulatory experts have also successfully updated zoning policies for multiple public agencies.

Our team has authored comprehensive updates to zoning/development codes and provided tailored amendments, such as overlay zones, mixed-use development standards, affordable housing, and transit-oriented development.

City of Beaumont | EVOC89005.2023 23
Permitting Assistance. Kimley-Horn has extensive knowledge and understanding of current environmental regulations and how these regulations affect project development. We remain well-informed of proposed changes to regulatory programs and actively participate in rule- making in order to effectively serve our clients. Our staff is successful in understanding our clients’ needs, the complexity of each project, and how to best define a project’s objectives and solutions toward a successful permitting solution. Our approach is to present the sound, technical data that helps the regulators do their jobs, written clearly so the text, plans, and supporting documentation are understandable. We have regulatory permitting expertise at the local, State, and federal level, including the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Caltrans, SCAQMD, flood control and resource agencies (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and The State Historic Preservation Offices), and State Lands Commission.

Affordable Housing. Kimley-Horn’s long-term association with local and national developers gives us broad project experience, including residential, urban infill, retail stores, shopping centers, hotels and resorts, healthcare facilities, office complexes, major mixed-use developments, and planned communities. Our varied project history illustrates our ability to manage projects of different sizes, types, and complexities, and to guide clients through increasingly complex regulatory processes. By offering an integrated team of professionals, we provide our clients with special insight into the development approval process and support them at every step over the life of the project.

Sustainability/Healthy Communities. Sustainability and healthy communities have become part of the lexicon of planning. Our plans and processes seek to incorporate sustainability and healthy communities’ concepts into our planning projects. Complete Streets, low impact development (LID), mobility, safe routes to school, access to healthy food, and bike/trail planning are examples of sustainability concepts that have been incorporated into our planning documents. We have provided award-winning sustainability policies to our municipal clients, including transit-oriented development, General Plan policies, and urban infill Specific Plans.

Urban Design and Streetscape. Our design professionals have provided comprehensive services for streetscape and urban design projects from design through construction. For all our publicly initiated projects, we understand the important relationship between the public and private realm and provide streetscape and urban amenities that reflect community needs and values. Kimley-Horn’s design professionals have extensive experience in streetscape and landscape plans, city and areawide design guideline manuals, and post entitlement streetscape design guidelines. Our focus is on creating a sense of place through appropriate scale, density, land uses, and urban amenities.

Transportation and Mobility. Kimley-Horn understands that quality of life can be improved by efficient mobility through land use patterns that produce greater efficiency, reduce trips, and provide more choices. Our team’s project experience includes a wide variety of transportation

City of Beaumont | EVOC89005.2023 24
modes, including transit, roadways, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. We also have the benefit of in-house capabilities to prepare traffic impact and mobility analyses and parking and parking management studies.

Parking Management Plans. Kimley-Horn has considerable experience performing major parking studies for developments and downtown districts; surface and deck designs; access and circulation; and parking studies for planned communities, transit centers, shopping centers, universities, and other high-activity multimodal centers. Kimley-Horn develops integrated parking strategies for mixed-use, transit-oriented developments, and development projects, and is often asked to research parking trends and propose innovations ranging from policies to parking management implementation plans. Kimley-Horn has more than 120 practicing landscape architects, designers, and planners. Our firm has a nationwide resume of large-scale to urban-scale park design and planning. We understand how to effectively determine parkland need and design high quality facilities for the communities they serve.

Scenario Planning. Scenario planning provides a flexible, stakeholder-based tool for identifying anticipated long-term results of various transportation infrastructure and land use scenarios. Our team consists of individuals who have successfully completed comprehensive plans using scenario planning. Our understanding of tools and best practices will provide the City of Long Beach with valuable insight, guidance, and hands-on support. We have conducted scenario planning as part of regional transportation plans, transportation master plans, and community general plans across the country. We facilitated all aspects of a large land use/transportation outreach visioning process, including public participation and analytical assessments. At the visioning workshops, participants were provided with the necessary tools to convey their vision for the future and how they would integrate land use and transportation.

Results from the workshops were used to help build future growth scenarios and identify viable strategies for achieving the best and desired aspects of the scenarios.

CITY OF BEAUMONT
550 E. 6th Street
Beaumont, CA 92223
Subject: Statement of Qualifications for On-Call Planning and Environmental Services Dear Ms. Wichert:

PlaceWorks has had the honor of providing on-call planning and environmental services to the City for the past several years. Through projects large and small we have provided input and advice to the City concerning CEQA compliance and helped with meetings. We believe that our peer review and close coordination with staff contributes to the department, and we hope to continue our teamwork through this statement of qualifications.

While PlaceWorks is a full-service planning firm, most of our work has focused on environmental compliance. We have continued with this focus and added both staff and technical expertise to our team to ensure we can meet any need of the City. ECORP will address any noise, biological and cultural/historic issues and Fehr & Peers will cover transportation issues. PlaceWorks will coordinate and prepare all other environmental documentation.

PlaceWorks understands that each project is unique—in both its physical and political context—and we have the experience and skills to identify when projects may be subject to CEQA and/or NEPA. We apply creative, out-of- the-box thinking rather than a standard, one-size-fits-all approach.

The staff summaries in this submittal highlight the key individuals we propose to work on the City of Beaumont’s environmental projects. I will continue to serve as overall Principal-in-Charge and Project Manager, and my complete contact information is provided below. Additionally, the full breadth of our environmental planners and air quality/GHG, noise, traffic, site assessment, and visual analysis specialists (as detailed in this submittal) will be available to work on future Beaumont projects.

Mark Teague AICP| Managing Principal, Environmental Services 3 MacArthur Place, Suite 1100 | Santa Ana, CA 92707 | 714.966.9220 x 2730 | [email protected] We understand the significance of this effort and look forward to discussing our qualifications with you in greater detail. This proposal shall remain valid for 90 days from the date of submittal. As a Principal, I am authorized to bind the team to the contents of this submittal and to negotiate contracts on behalf of PlaceWorks. Please contact me with any questions.

We look forward to your response.

Respectfully submitted,

PLACEWORKS
Mark Teague AICP, Managing Principal, Environmental Services

2 CITY OF BEAUMONT • On-Call Planning and Environmental Services B. INTRODUCTION/INFORMATION
PlaceWorks’ method of accomplishing the work envisioned in this SOQ is based on our substantial experience with similar projects throughout California and locally. The work anticipated from this on-call perfectly aligns with our firm’s core practice of planning and environmental documentation. Further, our team has been carefully selected to bring the best local and regional experts with local experience to help you successfully meet the goals of each project.

While this scope and response for qualifications focuses on the highly skilled PlaceWorks’ environmental team, as a firm we provide all types of public agency and private development planning. Our experience in community planning ensures that our environmental analysis is concise, adequate, and sensible. We understand that the environmental process is essential but is not the purpose of the project.

Project Understanding
The City needs an environmental consultant that they can call to answer questions on CEQA or NEPA and, if necessary, prepare the requisite documents. The consultant needs to understand how a city functions, including tight agenda deadlines to presentations before the public. The consultant must be able to function at all levels as a member of the city team. The environmental consultant also needs to be able to peer-review environmental documents prepared by others and work with applicants and other consultants to ensure compliance with CEQA and NEPA. Most of all, the consultant needs to bring viable solutions to the table and help the city consider all options before moving forward.

Subconsultants
To complement our CEQA team, PlaceWorks regularly employs subconsultants for specialized technical studies. In this submittal, we have provided qualifications for subconsultants we regularly work with in traffic, cultural resources, and biological resources. We will also be pleased to work with any subconsultants preferred by the City. Chances are that we have previously worked with most of them.

ECORP Consulting – Biological and Cultural Resources and Noise Contact: Jeremy Adams | 2525 Warren Drive, Rocklin, California 95677| 916.708.7015 | [email protected]
ECORP specializes in assisting government agencies and private clients with a wide range of environmental services including technical expertise in land use planning; biological, cultural, and water resources; and regulatory compliance with CEQA and NEPA, Clean Water Act, federal and state Endangered Species Acts, National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), and other laws and regulations. ECORP has well-established working relationships with the resources agencies, including the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).

ECORP provides support over the life of a project, from initial baseline studies; to environmental planning, documentation, and review; permit negotiation, liaison with resource agencies, and mitigation design; and through to construction monitoring and compliance reporting. ECORP brings an experienced team of more

4 CITY OF BEAUMONT • On-Call Planning and Environmental Services than 135 CEQA and NEPA specialists, environmental permitting specialists, environmental analysts, terrestrial and aquatic biologists, wetland specialists, paleontologist, archaeologists/cultural resource specialists, air quality/noise analysis specialists, geographic information systems (GIS) specialists, and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) specialists.

Its team of architectural historians and archaeologists are familiar with the Mills Act and the property tax incentives it provides for owners of historic properties. As architectural historians with more than 20 years of combined experience evaluating California historical resources, it knows how to distinguish eligible properties from those lacking historic integrity. For this contract, it will work closely with City staff to help members of the public meet the City’s Mills Act qualifying criteria: this will involve identifying character defining features and calling out specific restoration needs; we also anticipate using the City’s Architectural Style Guides, and other planning resources to gauge the effects of building permit requests on Mills Act eligibility. Drawing on this local government historic preservation experience, we are comfortable comparing permit applications to city code, local historic preservation plans, local design guidelines, citywide general plans, and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. ECORP’s cultural resources team has conducted numerous surveys of commercial and residential historic districts. This work involves distinguishing contributor from non-contributor properties. ECORP regularly documents historic- period buildings and structures on DPR-523 site records and makes eligibility evaluations for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR).

ECORP is staffed with experienced and permitted biologists to perform protocol-level surveys for state and federally listed species and local species of concern. If suitable habitat is found for listed and sensitive species during a reconnaissance survey or City issues a proposal request, ECORP can conduct surveys for sensitive plant and/or wildlife species using accepted survey protocol that have been developed by the resource agencies. ECORP has numerous qualified individuals on staff who hold the appropriate permits from USFWS and CDFW to survey for listed plant species and for listed wildlife species, including coastal California gnatcatcher, southwestern willow flycatcher, and least Bell’s vireo. In addition, ECORP holds permits to conduct special surveys involving handling for several amphibian species (e.g., arroyo toad) and other aquatic species.

ECORP employs state-of-the-art technology and a comprehensive working knowledge of the regulatory environment to provide clients with cost-efficient and technically defensible noise-related analyses. ECORP’s technical analysts are proficient in the use of the Roadway Construction Model, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model, and other industry standard noise modeling tools. ECORP also provides both short and long-term noise level measurements to assess the existing noise environment and effectively analyze the contributions of a given project on future ambient noise levels.

Noise level measurements provide an understanding of existing conditions as they relate to local regulations and the noise-sensitive land uses in a given area. ECORP’s staff is experienced with collecting noise level measurements for a variety of projects, from residential homes to commercial and warehouse developments, and use equipment which meets the latest American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard specifications for sound level meters.

C. FIRM’S APPROACH
As an extension of staff, we represent the City in all interactions with applicants, the public, and of course other staff. We work closely to ensure that our input is aligned with city needs, and that staff is kept apprised of our actions throughout the assignment. We strive to be accessible for impromptu meetings and questions.

Communication
In this role we will function as an extension of City staff, and to be useful we need to be available. While we will schedule bi-weekly calls when we have an active task order, we will also ensure you have our contact information so that you can ask questions as they arise. Ongoing communication and responsiveness is critical for every project. Mark will be your point of contact and will be accountable for each project that may be underway with a focus on the scope, schedule, and budget to ensure a successful project.

Our offices in Ontario are close by, so we can attend impromptu meetings such as design review, staff discussion, or meetings with applicants and the City. Of course, we use technology such as email, FaceTime, Skype, texting, DropBox, FTP sites, etc., to transfer data and get you the information you need, but to truly communicate we will call or drop by to see you. We want you to call and ask questions. We want PlaceWorks to be your resource for planning.

For communication with the public, PlaceWorks has an award-winning public outreach team that we can tap as needed for any project. Our planners know how to conduct themselves as representatives of the City in the public arena and appreciate the vital role planning plays in providing information to the public. When we work for an agency, we represent the goals and aspirations of that agency and help City staff to be the voice of the community. Our role is to support staff.

Management Approach
Our approach to successful management starts with the right project manager. Mark Teague will be the overall project manager for the City of Beaumont contract, bringing with him the breadth of experience with similar projects as required for this on-call. He will be supported by , JoAnn Hadfield, Principal, Nicole Vermilion, Principal and Technical Services Lead, and any other PlaceWorks staff as needed to complete the assignment.

Quality Control
PlaceWorks has established a number of quality control and quality assurance procedures and protocols to ensure accuracy in our documents. We implement a tracking form that needs to be signed off for each stage of document review and production. Environmental documents cannot be reproduced until this form is signed by the project manager and project director. All documents are submitted to the firm’s document processing center for standardized formatting and systematic checks. A technical editor reviews it for consistency, readability, grammar, and graphics or typographical errors. The project director reviews technical content and general format before it is sent back to the project manager.

Our reproduction staff produces and assembles documents in-house to ensure a higher level of quality control and reduced costs to our clients. After all revisions have been made and the final formatting completed, the document is printed, and the editor inspects it page by page to ensure that no pages or

6 CITY OF BEAUMONT • On-Call Planning and Environmental Services figures are missing and that formatting is consistent. Production staff makes the required number of copies and delivers them to the project manager, who has the ultimate responsibility for the quality of the document and ensuring that the environmental review process and the environmental documents satisfy the statutes and guidelines of CEQA and NEPA.

Defensibility
Project opponents often use challenges to the environmental documentation and/or process to delay or kill a project. It is our responsibility to ensure that projects are not hindered because of successful challenges to CEQA and/or NEPA compliance. Review of all documentation by our senior staff and directors is built into our process, as described under Quality Control. Moreover, PlaceWorks is diligent in staff education so that our environmental staff stay apprised of constantly updated environmental requirements and statutes.

Schedule Adherence
Project schedules will be prepared for each task order at the level of detail deemed necessary for project tracking and schedule adherence. We will work with staff to meet individual project objectives. If requested, we can prepare MS Project schedules for each project that clearly highlight the critical path for a project and facilitate easy sharing and updating by individual task. Additionally, detailed subtasks can be “collapsed” to generate less-detailed project schedules for personnel or decision makers who may not need or be interested in the minutiae of the project schedule and management.

Cost Control
Intrinsic to project efficiency and cost control are appropriate staffing; schedule management and adherence; and accurate budget planning, tracking, reporting, and invoicing procedures. Costs are controlled when a project is completed efficiently, and rework is not required.

D. FIRM PROFILE
Who We Are
PlaceWorks is all about places and how they work geographically, environmentally, functionally, aesthetically, and culturally. We are also passionate about how we work with our clients. We bring together people from diverse practice areas, offering best-of-all-worlds capability and connectivity. Just as each place we work with is distinctly different, so is our thinking about it.

I. SCOPE OF SERVICES
CEQA/NEPA Compliance
Our CEQA/NEPA practitioners and environmental scientists have handled projects of every size and type. We use our expertise to formulate workable plans and programs while remaining neutral and objective to ensure environmental documentation withstands legal scrutiny. In addition to keeping apprised of changes in the law and court cases, PlaceWorks is active in the Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP), and in the American Planning Association (APA), teaching CEQA/NEPA compliance. Project Manager Mark Teague currently serves as the Planning Manager for the City of Wildomar. In this role he works with staff to evaluate projects, manages EIR consultants, peer reviews work, prepares staff reports, and represents the city as requested.

PlaceWorks’ environmental principals are at the forefront of applying the latest streamlining opportunities.

PlaceWorks will strategize with the City on the most appropriate approach for the project to take advantage of streamlining opportunities and support City efforts on smart growth and development. We have successfully used this collaborative approach in places like Pasadena, where we worked closely with the city to adopt one of the first post–SB 743 general plans in the state, helping them achieve their climate action plan goals.

16 CITY OF BEAUMONT • On-Call Planning and Environmental Services Project Approach
PlaceWorks project manager Mark Teague will discuss each assignment with the City, complete preliminary analysis, and recommend the probable environmental determination (i.e., exemption, negative declaration, EIR). We know that often a small change to a project can affect the analysis and will recommend changes that would reduce the extent of analysis. All our recommendations will be supported by reasoning so that the city, public, and applicant understand the result.

For each work assignment request, PlaceWorks will:

1. Review the project application materials to ensure they contain the necessary information to complete the CEQA process.

2. Discuss our findings with the City and if directed, prepare a summary memo of any deficiencies.

3. If requested, prepare a project-specific task order based on the expected environmental determination. Each task order will include a detailed scope, extent of technical studies, and timeline to complete the work.

PlaceWorks will provide billing for each approved task order to assist the City with cost recovery and to provide an accounting of the time spent on each project.

4. Prepare and keep current a table of assigned projects, status, and deadlines.

5. Organize bi-weekly conference calls to review status of assigned projects.

6. Draft requisite forms, public notices, resolutions, assist with staff reports, and make presentations as requested by the city.

Peer Review
Some level of peer review is involved in nearly every development application. Developers often prepare technical reports to inform their project design or protect them from liability. The PlaceWorks team regularly peer reviews documents for compliance with CEQA and adherence to professional standards. When we peer review work by others, we evaluate document content, not visual appearance or style. The PlaceWorks team can peer review any planning technical studies that would be prepared by an applicant.

Process

1. Review the study/report for compliance with industry standards and City requirements.

2. Prepare either:
a. Memorandum summarizing areas that need to be addressed; or, b. Make comments in the electronic version of the study/report.

3. Review our findings with the City.

4. Schedule a conference call or meeting with the applicant to review City comments.

5. Review revised study/report to ensure all that comments were addressed.

Exemption and Addendum
The CEQA Guidelines require that an agency first determine if CEQA applies, and then whether there is an appropriate exemption. PlaceWorks regularly reviews development projects to determine if the project qualifies under the general exemption, or one of the regulatory, statutory, or categorical exemptions. (NEPA has a similar process for categorical exclusions.) It is important that the decision to use an exemption is

Statement of Qualifications • PLACEWORKS 17
accompanied by substantial evidence. PlaceWorks will prepare a memorandum and will include technical studies, as appropriate, as evidence to support the environmental determination.

Many projects may qualify for use of an addendum to a previously approved environmental document. A properly documented Addendum can shorten review times and reduce cost. As part of our review for an exemption, PlaceWorks will also determine if another adopted environmental document would meet the requirements of CEQA. Like an exemption, an Addendum will also need to be supported by substantial evidence. The process for both an exemption or an Addendum are similar.

Process

1. Determine if the application is a sustainable communities project per SB 375, and therefore:
a. exempt from further CEQA review under PRC Section 21155.1(a), b. applicable for streamlining under PRC Section 21159.28(a and b) and the CEQA document is not required to address i) growth inducing impacts, ii) project specific or cumulative impacts from automobiles on global warming or the regional transportation network, or iii) a reduced density alternative (EIRs only), or c. applicable for limited analysis via Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) or a limited EIR for projects not exempt under PRC Section 21155.1(a);

2. Determine if the project was previously covered under and consistent with a specific plan for which an environmental impact report was certified, and therefore exempt from further CEQA review under PRC Section 21155.4 (i.e., SB 743).

3. See if the project qualifies for streamlined review under SB 226 (PRC Section 21094.5 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.3) via Appendix M and Appendix N of the CEQA Guidelines. Use of Appendix N will narrow the scope of impacts that need to be analyzed at a project level. Impacts of a project that were already addressed at a programmatic level are not subject to CEQA, even if those impacts remain significant. Impacts that are addressed by local development policies or standards, such as construction noise ordinances and traffic impact fees, are not subject to CEQA either, even if the policies do not fully mitigate the impact.

4. Determine if the project meets the requirements of a regulatory, statutory, or categorical exemption.

5. Review our findings with the City.

6. Prepare either an Addendum or exemption with supporting materials.

7. Prepare a Notice of Determination for filing.

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration/Environmental Assessment More than a checklist, the initial study (IS) is the table of contents for the substantial evidence, and the discussion needed to prove that environmental impacts are less than significant. PlaceWorks will tier off appropriate certified environmental documents and streamline the discussion to focus on the proposed project. If needed, technical studies will address the CEQA checklist questions, and all mitigation measures will be proportionate to the project impact and fully implementable by the City.

While possible, it would be unusual for the City need to prepare an environmental assessment pursuant to NEPA. What is more common is a process known as CEQA+, where all CEQA requirements applied, plus additional consultation for biological resources (Section 106) and cultural resources (Section 107). In addition, CEQA+ documents are often required to include an environmental justice and alternatives analysis.

Requirements of the CEQA+ are unique to each granting agency and are often part of the grant application.

The PlaceWorks team can prepare any level of NEPA document, including a CEQA+ as required.

18 CITY OF BEAUMONT • On-Call Planning and Environmental Services Process

1. Determine if there is another certified environmental document that the IS can tier from.

2. Prepare an IS following a city format or Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. The IS can result in either:

3. Negative Declaration (ND): Either the project has no environmental impact, or where existing policies, programs, ordinances and procedures effectively mitigate any environmental impact, therefore no mitigation measures are required.

4. Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND): Where the project has some environmental impact that exceeds an adopted threshold but can be reduced below the threshold through a required modification of the project.

5. Review the draft IS with the City and applicant.

6. Prepare the public review draft of the IS/ND/MND with supporting materials.

7. Respond to comments to the IS/ ND/MND.

8. Prepare certification resolution, staff report material, and attend meeting(s).

9. Prepare a Notice of Determination for filing.

Environmental Impact Report and Environmental Impact Statement Should the technical analysis for one or more environmental issues result in an impact that cannot be reduced below the City’s threshold, an EIR will be required. PlaceWorks has over 40 years of experience preparing EIRs and understands the constantly shifting regulatory requirements. We recommend using the scoping process to narrowly define the extent of environmental analysis. This can be accomplished with an initial study, or simply as part of the notice of preparation. In some instances, the City may allow an applicant to prepare their own EIR. In this case PlaceWorks would provide peer review services as described above.

Depending on the federal agency involved, the City may not be able to prepare the environmental impact statement (EIS) to comply with NEPA locally, as procedures may dictate a different procurement process. If permitted by the agency, however, PlaceWorks can prepare an EIS, or more likely, a combined EIR/EIS, to address the needs of the City. While some EIS can be reviewed locally, the NEPA process usually requires a review by the EPA in Washington D.C., with a timeline measured in years. It is more common for the CEQA+ process to be required for grant-funded projects as described above.

Process

1. Prepare either an initial study (IS) or summary notice of preparation (NOP) to focus the environmental analysis.

2. Prepare for and attend a scoping meeting to explain the project and the CEQA process to the public.

3. Prepare an administrative draft EIR consistent with CEQA for review with the City.

4. Prepare a public draft EIR for review by the public and agencies.

5. Prepare an administrative final EIR including response to comments, and EIR certification resolution with findings for review with the City.

6. Attend hearing(s) to present the findings and answer questions on the EIR.

7. Prepare a Notice of Determination for filing.

Statement of Qualifications • PLACEWORKS 19
Other Duties of the Environmental Consultant
In addition to reviewing environmental documents and technical reports prepared by others or preparing new environmental documents for projects on behalf of the city, PlaceWorks can also assist in the frequent CEQA/NEPA tasks that arise. Examples include review and estimate(s) of environmental clearance for projects ahead of a grant application. Estimates for environmental clearance for City projects. Review of projects that will affect the City but are proposed by other agencies. A brief list of the environmental duties we have provided for other clients includes:

1. Peer review of CEQA/NEPA docs prepared by others.

2. Review of responses to proposals.

3. Manage EIRs prepared by others.

4. Respond to other agency NOPs on City’s behalf.

5. Attend meetings with applicants to advise on project modifications that could reduce the level of CEQA analysis required.

6. Review scopes of technical studies to completed by the applicant in advance of application.

7. Provide budget estimates for environmental compliance of City improvements.

8. Provide mitigation monitoring and reporting.

9. Answer questions concerning timing and approach for environmental analysis.

10. Train Commission, Council, and staff on CEQA, results of new court cases, pending legislation, and best practices.

Traffic Impact Assessment
Fehr & Peers will prepare all necessary transportation studies in accordance with Senate Bill (SB) 743 using Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) to perform transportation impact analysis. F&P would advise how to approach projects consistent with SB 743 and The Office of Planning and Research’s (OPR’s) Technical Advisory, and the City’s Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines for Vehicle Miles Traveled and Level of Service Assessment (March 2020). F&P assisted WRCOG in the development of the SB 743 implementation pathway study for member agencies (including Beaumont) and have been assisting local, regional, and state agencies in implementing SB 743 and transportation impact assessment since 2018.

Travel Demand Forecasting (TDF) models are the recommended tool for estimating VMT. We have prepared TDF models for many cities, counties, and regional agencies throughout California and were part of the team that prepared the County’s current RIVCOM travel demand model that is consistent with Connect SoCal 2020, the 2020 SCAG RTP. We have used models to generate future forecast data on a variety of projects for the Riverside County region in addition to Caltrans facilities.

F&P’s modeling expertise extends to other software tools, such as simulation software and capacity analysis software. They will also post-process raw model outputs to develop the appropriate level of traffic volumes and peak-hour turning movements at intersections and segments and will generate data, such as volumes, average speeds, truck traffic, and VMT by speed class to support air quality, GHG, and noise impact analysis.

Specific to airport freight studies, SB 743 does not require truck VMT in transportation impact assessment, but truck VMT analysis is still required for the air quality, GHG, and noise impact analysis.

20 CITY OF BEAUMONT • On-Call Planning and Environmental Services When Caltrans is involved, F&P will adhere to Caltrans requirements (including the Traffic Analysis Framework (TAF)) and provide defensible and mutually acceptable mitigation measures whenever necessary.

ELIZABETH KIM
Senior Associate
With more than 20 years of professional experience, Elizabeth is a seasoned project manager who demonstrates expert CEQA knowledge and skills and has successfully completed CEQA documents for many different types and sizes of projects—from the proposal stage to adoption/certification—within approved budgets and schedules. She has prepared and managed EIRs, MNDs, NOEs, Addendums, and peer reviews for cities, counties, school districts, and community colleges, communicating and coordinating with clients, managing diverse in- house and subconsultant teams, and advising on technical and strategic issues.

Elizabeth recently worked on the addendum to the Platinum Triangle subsequent EIR for the ocV!BE project in Anaheim, a mixed-use project that required navigation through a long history of previously adopted documents and the integration of a complex project description and many technical studies into a consistent, easy-to-read public document.

Her work includes the Rancho Cucamonga Campus Master Plan EIR for the Chaffey Community College District, and the Brea 265 Specific Plan EIR for a master planned residential community of 1,100 units on a 262-acre site with an extensive network of trails, open spaces, and recreational facilities on an oil field. Each project had unique challenges and needed unique approaches to address them—challenges involved noise, light and glare, historical resources, biological resources, GHG emissions, etc. She successfully navigated through various challenging situations and provided defensible, quality documents.

JASMINE A. OSMAN
Associate
Jasmine’s particular interests in the planning profession include law, social equity, and the environment. At PlaceWorks, she assists both the planning and environmental teams on a wide range of projects for public- and private-sector clients—from industrial and residential developments to school facilities and general plan updates. She mostly assists the environmental team with preparing CEQA analyses and documentation, and she earned the CEQA Practice certificate from the UC San Diego Extension.

When Jasmine assists the community planning team, her understanding of the principles of sustainability is augmented by her experience with the nuts and bolts of sustainable practices and low-impact development. She researched hydromodification, urban runoff alternatives, and water stewardship in San Diego canyons; assisted with the sustainable design for a park in Tijuana, Mexico; and prepared a crime and safety action plan for the neighborhood of Del Cerro as part of her master’s program capstone project. She has participated in community outreach events, where she presented plan and design options; prepared materials with SketchUp, ArcGIS, and other programs; and fielded questions from the public about everything from recycling to hazardous waste to incentive programs.

ALEX REYES
Associate
Alex’s passion is for creating spaces that people enjoy. His keen observation of how people of all ages interact with spaces allows him to put together the individual pieces that create a great community.

Working with PlaceWorks’ planning and design teams, he prepares graphics and models to convey design concepts to clients and the public. His diverse knowledge of computer programs allows him to quickly create a working product and adapt it to individual client needs.

Alex also contributes to PlaceWorks’ environmental team by preparing visual simulations, light and glare studies, and shade/shadow analyses for environmental documents.

Alex is an expert in using drones and drone scanning technology that integrates with GIS, creating base maps, 3D visual simulations, and engaging presentation materials. This was particularly useful for a project in Capistrano Beach, when Google Earth and GIS did not have up to date imagery. Drone use for a Moorpark project created engaging presentation material by placing a conceptual 3D model into a drone video, conveying our concept with context and movement.
