The project first required an extensive constraints analysis which included some archival research, records search, review of local historical databases and resource lists, assessment of potential project impacts, and a letter report of the findings submitted to the County. Once constraints were identified, a complete inventory and evaluation of all historic-age buildings located within the area of direct and indirect impact for the project was conducted.

The inventory and evaluation included a week-long inventory of the project area, extensive archival research, coordination with city and county agencies, multiple client meetings and coordination efforts, and a substantial evaluation report submitted to the County.

Beautiful Church Camp Conifer Project, San Bernardino County – Beautiful Church. Architectural Historian and Assistant Cultural Resources Manager responsible for the evaluation of an historic-age recreational campground located in San Bernardino National Forest. The project required preparation of a detailed site map identifying buildings and structures located within the campground, archival research, and evaluation of eligibility for the NRHP and CRHR. Supervised the cultural resources studies and coordinated with the USFS and supported SHPO consultation.

Audi Fletcher Jones Project, Orange County – City of Costa Mesa (2019). Analyzed the potential emissions and noise-related effect of the proposal to demolish an existing lumber yard and retail building on the site and construct a sales and service center for Audi.

Ganahl Lumber Hardware Store & Lumber Yard Project, Orange County – San Juan Capistrano (2017-2019). The proposed Project includes a Ganahl Lumber Hardware store containing a lumber yard with a will-call storage area, a delivery truck loading bay, industrial yard, and miscellaneous ancillary equipment such as forklifts. The other proposed uses on the site include restaurants and a 5.4-acre vehicle storage area. In close proximity to sensitive noise receptors, on-site noise levels of proposed lumber yard activities were based on actual noise measurements conducted at the existing Ganahl Lumber facility in Costa Mesa. These measurements were verified with previous research conducted by ECORP, as well as previous noise analyses prepared for other hardware stores proposed by Ganahl Lumber.

Septic to Sewer Project, Orange County – City of Santa Ana (2019). Analyzed the potential emissions and noise-related effect of installing sewer mains and lateral connecters to transfer existing residences and businesses currently employing the use of septic systems to the City’s sewer systems. The Project site encompasses 635 linear feet entirely within the public right-of-way.

Seth Myers (Continued)

Hospital Frontage Road/Justice Center Way Pavement Rehabilitation Project, Orange County – OC Public Works (2018). In support of a categorical exemption, analyzed emissions and noise-related effects of the proposed Project, which included the removal and replacement of asphalt pavement along Hospital Frontage Road and Justice Center Way and ancillary roadway improvements. Primary environmental issues involve the effects of nighttime noise generated during Project construction.

Verdugo Street Beautification Project, Orange County – City of San Juan Capistrano (2018). The Verdugo Street Beautification Project consists of the construction of widened sidewalks, landscaping, irrigation, storm drain, utilities, ADA ramps, rolled curb, enhanced paving, enhanced lighting, and street furniture, to provide for a more pedestrian friendly downtown adjacent to the City’s train station, parking structure, and the Historic Los Rios District.

Gate 12 Improvement Plan Project, Orange County – City of Laguna Woods (2010). Prepared the initial study analyzing the potential environmental effects of a series of facility improvements within Laguna Woods Village Gate 12 in Laguna Woods. The improvements include the removal of the existing clubhouse and a portion of the auxiliary building, and the construction of a new clubhouse (The Main Lounge) and the creation of an event lawn for use with special events, along with a total increase of 65 parking stalls. Issues included the potential to encounter lead paint and/or asbestos during proposed demolition activities and the effects of noise on the surrounding community.

Ontario Avenue Widening Project, Riverside County – City of Corona (2020). Prepared an air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise impact assessment for the Ontario Avenue Widening Project (Project), which includes a congestion relief effort involving the widening of an approximately 2,000 feet portion of Ontario Avenue in the City of Corona. The severity of impacts was determined based upon the comparison of AM and PM peak hour vehicle idling times during existing conditions and post-Project implementation conditions.

Third Party Review of Mt. SAC Educational and Facilities Master Plan, Los Angeles County – City of Walnut (2018-2019). Peer-reviewed the EIR prepared for the Project, which identifies the framework for the uses and development of land on campus necessary to accommodate an identified level of enrollment and physical development. While the proposed 2018 Master Plan identifies the physical resources necessary to meet Mt. SAC’s mission and its long-range development plans, it makes no commitments regarding the timing for achieving identified enrollment projections or implementing physical development in order to respond to future funding decisions, demographics, and other factors external to the proposed 2018 Master Plan process.

Mediterranean Apartments, San Bernardino County – City of Victorville (2020). The Project proposed 18 apartment buildings made up of 440 apartment units. The Project also includes a common clubhouse and several outdoor amenities, including a pool.

B INTRODUCTION/INFORMATION
and documents; and regulation compliant document
processing. We are committed to fostering trust-
based client relations that will last well beyond any
single project.

Understanding of Services
As a leader in the field of environmental analysis,
Psomas helps clients successfully navigate the
increasingly complex processes required by CEQA
and NEPA. Psomas strives to work with clients to
ensure that project designs are conceived in a way
that minimize environmental impacts before starting
the CEQA process. For instance, when preparing an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or other CEQA
document, we challenge our staff and our clients
to collaborate in order to find opportunities for
avoidance of—rather than mitigation for—significant
environmental impacts. While avoidance is not always
possible, time spent at the beginning of a project’s
EIR process to address potential constraints can
often prevent or minimize costly mitigation and time
during the public review and permitting process.

The following are just some of the CEQA and NEPA
compliance documents Psomas can prepare for
projects within the City of Beaumont:

How Psomas Meets Scope of
Services Objectives
Our proposed Project Manager, Charles Holcombe
III, will function as an integral City staff member
through regular coordination and communication
with appropriate City staff. Charles understands
his job will be to identify and process CEQA/NEPA
compliance documents for a variety of private
development applications and City-sponsored actions
in a timely and cost-efficient manner. Charles has
worked well with the City in the past, successfully
preparing and revising an IS/MND for the Brookside
South Recharge Project, as well as managing the
Beaumont Industrial Park EIR and Crossroads
Industrial Park Complex Addendum.

He will evaluate applications and work closely
with staff to clearly describe the proposed project
so the most appropriate CEQA compliance process
and document can be selected, whether that be
an exemption, MND, or EIR. He will prepare or
review the necessary evaluation materials quickly
and efficiently to help expedite the planning and
environmental processes for each specific project.

Charles will coordinate and meet with other City
staff as needed to process projects and City projects.

He will also help identify potential issues or possible project changes or mitigation as needed to prevent
unnecessary delays and additional costs. Charles is
located in our Riverside office and will be responsive
to the needs of the City on projects needing CEQA or
NEPA compliance.

He can take advantage of the full range of
environmental services offered by Psomas to
provide any needed technical support that private
or public projects in the City may require, especially
regarding air quality, greenhouse gas, energy, noise,
biological resources, vehicle miles traveled, traffic,
cultural resources, or tribal cultural resources. He
has 17 years of experience in both the public and
private sectors and understands the importance
of maintaining budgets and schedules on multiple
projects being processed at the same time. Charles
has managed the preparation and processing of more
than a dozen projects simultaneously, including
regulatory permitting and resolving difficult inter-
agency environmental issues. Charles will become

C FIRM APPROACH
Scope of Work Approach
The environmental documentation requirements
and the type of CEQA document determined to be
appropriate for a project can vary extensively. It
is recognized the City anticipates future projects
to be undertaken by the pre-qualified on-call
Environmental Consultants may primarily
necessitate preparation of a Negative Declaration/
Mitigated Negative Declaration (ND/MND) or
Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and this is
probable. However, infill redevelopment, small-scale
open space projects, additions and renovations,
and other types of development that may occur in
Beaumont's future may qualify for review using
an alternate form of CEQA documentation, such
as a Categorical Exemption (CE), streamlined ND/
MND review pursuant to Section 15183.3 of the
CEQA Guidelines, or a Sustainable Communities
Environmental Assessment (SCEA).

Upon receiving the City’s Request for Proposal (RFP),
Psomas will prepare a detailed Scope of Work (SOW)
that is responsive to the requirements of the RFP,
project-specific issues, identified concerns, and
required technical analysis. Because all projects are
unique, Psomas will consider the most appropriate
and efficient environmental review process for each
proposal. In light of the type of project and level of
analysis, the SOW will propose a cost estimate that
breaks down the fee by task, with clear demarcation
between anticipated professional and direct fees.

The SOW will be accompanied by a detailed timeline
highlighting milestones and deliverables, consistent
with the proposed SOW.

Clear expectations for level of effort, deliverables
and adherence to schedule and budget are inherent
criteria in excellent client service. Regardless of
the type and size of a project, Psomas believes in a
holistic approach toward project management and
client satisfaction, while meeting the requirements of
the technical scope of services.

Developing and maintaining a collaborative client
relationship is a component of this approach.

Psomas is committed to fostering trust-based client
relationships that will last well beyond any single
project. Building upon the notion of this relationship
includes establishing a line of communication that
facilitates data sharing, project information updates,
and schedule and cost maintenance. We will rely on
the expertise and knowledge of City staff as much
as they will rely on our capabilities in managing the
environmental documentation process.

Additionally, and more specifically, we embrace the
following steps in our process:
f Establish a communication protocol with City
staff, technical leads including subconsultants
and other key team members to ensure
project-critical information is efficiently and
accurately conveyed across the team
f Ensure roles/responsibilities are clear for
efficient management of assignments and
quality control of services and deliverables
f Utilize experienced staff with extensive
relevant experience who will do the job right
the first time
f Agree on initial project schedule and budget
with City staff and a protocol for updating
status on both during all project phases
f Determine key project description details
with the City early to facilitate accurate and
consistent peer reviews and EIR analyses
f Verify that technical approach/scope of
services as conveyed in the proposal still meet
City expectations following completion of
project description
f Collaborate up front with the City on standard
templates for project deliverables, including
peer review technical memoranda and CEQA
document components

10City of Beaumont
On-Call Planning and Environmental Services
Psomas’ in-house Quality Assurance/Quality Control
(QA/QC) process will confirm that all deliverables
are accurate and legally defensible. Psomas’ QA/QC
process for each documentation is described in more
detail on the following page.

Project Controls
Psomas has espoused methods and approaches in its
preparation and delivery of environmental documents
and supporting technical studies to verify project
deadlines are met and the process is completed within
budget.

Scope of Work (SOW). The SOW for most projects
influences the budget and schedule. Upon project
kick-off, the SOW will be further discussed with
the City of Beaumont (City) and better defined. As
the SOW will direct the action items for all tasks
proposed, it is imperative that it be kept updated and
any changes in approach and direction be reflected
in the SOW. The SOW will be communicated with
the City at regular intervals to facilitate solutions to potential issues, as applicable, before they become
impediments to completing the proposed project.

Schedule. An agreed-upon master schedule will be
used to monitor progress on key milestones and
deliverables. The schedule will be updated, as needed,
and distributed to the project team. Additionally,
in order to maintain the project schedule, we have
established workload management systems to assist
in the meeting project schedule. The mechanisms in
place, the diligence of our Project Manager, and access to a deep bench of environmental experts will keep
the proposed project on schedule.

Budget. The budget is another key component that
will be closely monitored and controlled by the Project Manager. Assigned hours and costs for each task will
be communicated with the Psomas team to maintain
that hours allocated for those tasks are aligned with
performance. The Project Manager has real-time
information regarding total authorized budget, costs
expended to date, current expenditures, and the
remaining balance. Access to accurate, complete data
will allow our Project Manager to alert the City to
potential budget implications if issues arise.

Status Reports. Each of these items will be regularly
reviewed and communicated to City staff. The
method of communicating project status will be
established during project initiation and will be
dependent on the City staff preferences. As a regular
course of business, Psomas maintains some level
of communication on a weekly basis for all active
projects and may communicate via conference call
or in-person meeting, or via email with an itemized
update on the status for all deliverables, a budget
overview, and review of the project schedule.

Implementation Strategies
Best Practices
The environmental documentation needs of every
project are unique and depend on the type and
size of the project, existing conditions, potential
impacts, and public controversy, among other
factors. However, regardless of the type and size of
projects, best practices espoused by our project team
will facilitate the environmental process on future
projects.

Technical Solutions. One of the strengths of the
Psomas team is taking the time in the beginning of
the project to develop a thorough project description
that correctly reflects details of project construction and operation. Upon completion and approval by
the City, the project description will be shared with
the Psomas technical leads and subconsultants, as
applicable. Based on our experience, a solid and stable project description can serve to avoid later revisions
We meet our clients’ needs by providing timely and technically sound documentation that complies with regulatory and planning agency requirements. 10Client Name | Project NamePage 990 of 1311

11City of Beaumont
On-Call Planning and Environmental Services
to the environmental document analyses
and related technical studies.

Additionally, the Project Manager
will closely monitor the
content of technical studies/
analyses to keep the City
apprised of the progress
and any issues that
may arise. If potential
constraints and impacts
are identified, Psomas
will alert the City to avoid
impacts and required
mitigation, whenever
feasible.

Furthermore, one of the key
roles of the Project Manager and
Principal-in-Charge will be to provide
ongoing guidance and strategic consultation to the
City regarding new regulations affecting proposed
projects. Problem-solving and creative discussions
help to streamline the process for the environmental
documents.

In-House Quality Assurance/Quality Control
(QA/QC). Psomas is committed to providing high
quality technical documents that engender client
satisfaction, meet the needs of the project, and
withstand legal scrutiny. Therefore, conducting
in-house QA/QC reviews concurrent with the
preparation of written technical
documents is a critical part of
our delivery of technically
sound and legally defensible
environmental documents.

In fact, Psomas has a
company-wide quality
assurance/quality control
committee that is called
“Pride in Performance”
with the goal of
maintaining the culture
of “quality” throughout the
firm.

Our QA/QC process begins
with the assignment of staff
members with the appropriate
technical expertise and experience.

All work products are prepared with the
oversight and review of an assigned technical lead.

Upon completion of the first internal draft, it is
reviewed by the Project Manager for consistency
with the project description, compliance with our
approved scope of work, and technical accuracy.

Upon revisions, it is sent to our in-house technical
editor for review of grammar, proper nomenclature,
references, and methodological consistency. The last
step is a thorough and complete word processing
review. Only then is the document submitted to the
City for review.

H SCOPE OF SERVICES
Planning and Environmental
Services Approach
In accordance with the City’s request, Psomas, with our understanding of the vision, environment, and priorities of the City, is proposing to provide On-Call Planning
and Environmental Services, including CEQA and
NEPA documentation, technical study preparation, and
permitting to the City of Beaumont. Our staff’s experience ranges from small infill development/redevelopment
projects that may require Categorical Exemptions (CEs), Categorical Exclusions (CEs) or Addendum documents, to
mid-size projects that require Negative Declarations (NDs), Mitigated Negative Declarations (MNDs), Environmental
Assessments (EAs), and Findings of No Significant Impact (FONSIs), to large-scale projects that require Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs), or Environmental Impact Statements (EISs). Our depth of experience in various types of environmental documents and geographies provides us with a range of knowledge and expertise that will apply to a variety of projects in the City.

Additionally, if requested, Psomas’ specialists will prepare technical studies for Air Quality, Energy, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Noise, and Transportation, in addition to Biological Resources and Regulatory Permitting, Cultural Resources, Tribal Cultural Resources, Hydrology, and Water Quality, as deemed necessary.

However, if technical studies are prepared by the future applicants’ consultants, Psomas can perform peer reviews of such studies and prepare memoranda summarizing the findings of the peer reviews.

Psomas understands the City will notify the selected consultants of future projects, at which time Psomas and other consultants will submit work plans, cost estimates, and schedules to the City. Upon being selected by the City for preparation of an environmental document for a future project, Psomas will initiate the process by meeting with the City and project team to define the project and coordinate on the technical approach. Subsequently, the Psomas Team will conduct research and gather data; prepare technical studies, as necessary; or peer review the technical studies prepared by the applicant’s consultants. Upon completion of the technical studies or peer review of the applicant-provided technical studies, Psomas will prepare administrative or screencheck drafts of the environmental document and a final draft for review and approval by the City prior to distribution for public review. Upon receipt of comments from the public, Psomas will prepare draft and final responses to comments and final document for review and approval by the City prior to distribution to the commenters and the decision makers.

Psomas will provide quality control for each draft of the document. Our in-house quality assurance/quality control process will confirm that all deliverables are accurate and legally defensible.

Furthermore, while it is assumed the City will identify the appropriate CEQA document for future projects, if requested by the City, Psomas can assist with that effort. The potential need for NEPA documentation will also be assessed and discussed with the City and required federal agency permitting identified.

Specific Approach
Kick-Off Meeting
Upon being selected by the City for a future project, the Psomas Project Manager will meet with the City to initiate the assigned project. The kick-off meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss and/or confirm the approach to the CEQA or NEPA document and environmental process; discuss the technical analyses/ studies; and identify the key community issues/concerns. Additionally, the project schedule will be discussed, and a communication protocol established. Psomas will identify information needs and prepare a data needs request.

The project initiation task will also include conducting a site visit, data collection, and preparing a project description.

Draft Initial Study and Required Technical Studies
Psomas routinely prepares Initial Studies (ISs) to determine the appropriate environmental documentation. Upon a project kick-off meeting, Psomas will prepare an IS in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 14, Chapter 3, Sections 15000, et seq.) to determine the appropriate CEQA documentation for a project. All topical issues will be evaluated in the IS, and all conclusions will be substantiated by technical information.

Psomas’ technical experts will prepare technical analyses, including air quality, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, transportation, hydrology/drainage, and Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP). For certain technical disciplines such as geology and soils, hazards materials, and historic resources, Psomas will engage experts/firms within the industry who have worked extensively with Psomas.

If technical studies are prepared by the applicant’s consultants, Psomas’ technical experts will conduct peer reviews of those studies for technical adequacy and compliance with CEQA requirements.

Draft Environmental Document
Psomas recognizes that future City projects, depending on their types, size, and issues of concern, may require any type of CEQA or NEPA document. As indicated above, upon completion of the analysis in the IS and conclusions of the technical studies, the City and Psomas will determine the appropriate type of CEQA document for the project, unless a determination has already been made by the City. 20Client Name | Project NamePage 1000 of 1311

f Categorical Exemption: Article 19 of CEQA
Guidelines (Sections 15300 to 15333) lists the criteria for categorical exemptions. If it is determined that a
project is within one of the classes of projects, which have been determined not to have a significant
impact on the environment, that project would be
exempt from provisions of CEQA. Additionally, if
it is determined through the IS analysis that no
significant impacts would result from the said
project, a CE would be prepared, and no additional
environmental documentation will be required.
f Negative Declaration: Per the analysis in the IS
or the City’s prior finding, if it is determined that
the potential impacts of the project are less than
significant such that no mitigation measures would be required, an ND would be the appropriate CEQA document for that project. The ND will be prepared in compliance with Article 6 of CEQA Guidelines (Section 15070 to 15075), which includes the criteria, requirements, contents, and process for an ND.
f Mitigated Negative Declaration: If it is determined that the project would result in potentially significant impacts, and that mitigation measures would be required to reduce the potentially significant impacts to less than significant level, an MND would be the appropriate type of environmental documentation for that project. The MND will be prepared in compliance with Article 6 of CEQA Guidelines (Section 15070 to 15075), which includes the criteria, requirements, contents, and process for an MND. f Environmental Impact Report: If it is determined that the project would result in potentially significant impacts, and the impacts of the project are such that, even with incorporation of mitigation measures, some of the impacts would remain significant and unavoidable, an EIR would be the appropriate type of environmental documentation for that project. The EIR will be prepared in compliance with Article 7 of CEQA Guidelines (Section 15080 to 15097), which includes the criteria, requirements, and process for an EIR. Article 9 of CEQA Guidelines (Sections 15120 to 15132) lists the contents of an EIR. The specific type of EIR (e.g., project, program, master) will depend on the scale, schedule/duration, phasing, and level of detail available.

Regardless of the type of the document, upon completion, administrative or screencheck drafts of the environmental document will be provided to City staff and the applicant for review. Upon receipt of comments, they will be addressed prior to resubmitting the document for a second round of review. The draft document will be approved by the City prior to distribution for public review.

Psomas will distribute the draft documents for public review. 21Client Name | Project NamePage 1001 of 1311

Final Environmental Document
f Final Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration: Upon completion of the 20- or 30-day public review period for an ND or MND, Psomas will coordinate with the City on the approach to preparing responses received on the ND or MND. Preparation of responses to comments on an ND or MND is not required but recommended to assist the City in the decision-making process. All environmental comments on the ND or MND will receive responses. Upon finalizing the response to comments they will be mailed out to the commenting agencies at least 10 calendar days prior to any public hearings.
f Final Environmental Impact Report: Upon completion of the 45-day public review period for a draft EIR, Psomas will coordinate with the City on the approach to preparing responses to comments on the draft EIR. Upon finalizing the final EIR and response to comments, including errata, Psomas will mail out the responses to commenting agencies at least 10 calendar days prior to any public hearings.
f Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program: Pursuant to Section 15097 of the State CEQA Guidelines, Psomas will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the CEQA document (MND and EIR).

The MMRP will confirm that the mitigation measures proposed and contained in the final environmental document are implemented. f Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations: As part of the final EIR, Psomas will prepare the findings of fact and, if applicable, a statement of overriding considerations, for the project pursuant to Sections 15091 and 15093 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
f Noticing: Psomas will prepare and distribute all applicable notices for all types of CEQA and NEPA documents, upon project initiation, public distribution of CEQA and NEPA documents, and document certification.

This task will include Notice of Exemption (NOE), Notice of Completion (NOC), Notice of Availability (NOA), Notice of Intent (NOI) (to adopt an ND or an MND), Notice of Preparation (NOP), and Notice of Determination (NOD).

Attendance at Meetings and Public Hearings
Throughout the environmental process, Psomas will attend various meetings, including project team meetings, community meetings (if requested), and scoping meeting. Additionally, upon completion of the environmental document, Psomas will attend Planning Commission and City Council public study sessions (if requested) and public hearings where decision makers consider projects. Psomas will be available to make presentations and/or provide input to the City and address questions regarding CEQA.

Dear Ms. Wichert and Selection Committee Members:

MIG, Inc., is pleased to submit our proposal and qualifications to the City of Beaumont (City) to provide on-call California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance services. MIG has a 40-year track record of working interactively with our public and private clients, becoming an extension of their staff.

Our environmental team has prepared and reviewed hundreds of CEQA documents and associated technical studies. MIG offers a full range of environmental services that are provided by seasoned CEQA practitioners and technical subject matter experts. Our highly capable environmental professionals and subconsultants have analyzed all manner of environmental projects throughout California and the County of Riverside. Our environmental staff also performs mitigation monitoring, field monitoring, and related services.

From our local office in Riverside, our environmental staff are accessible and can quickly respond to the consulting needs of the City. Director of Environmental Services Bob Prasse has extensive experience with all types of environmental projects, including industrial parks and warehouses, large-scale mixed-use developments, General Plans, Specific Plans, “big box” commercial centers, and transit-oriented development along the Metro Gold Line. He also has considerable experience in providing third-party peer review services for environmental documents.

Our proposal has been organized in accordance with the requirements of the Request for Proposal (RFP). We look forward to helping the City of Beaumont ensure that the environmental impacts of projects are thoroughly and cost-effectively addressed in a manner tailored specifically to the City’s vision and standards.

As Principal-in-Charge, I am authorized to represent MIG, negotiate on its behalf, and bind MIG to all commitments made in our proposal. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Bob Prasse or me at 951-787-9222, or email us at [email protected] or [email protected].

Sincerely,
Pamela Steele

City of Beaumont | On-Call Planning and Environmental Services 3 Introduction / Information
Firm Overview
MIG is a multidisciplinary firm that provides
environmental, planning, design, management,
communications, and technology services
to public and private agencies throughout
California and the United States. We develop
innovative planning and design solutions
through a highly interactive and participatory
process. We specialize in CEQA compliance,
environmental and ecological planning,
community design, landscape architecture,
park and recreation planning, urban planning,
and entitlement. MIG has successfully
assisted public and private agencies with their
environmental needs, engaging communities,
stakeholders, and decision-makers in planning,
policy, and design projects. We offer a full
range of planning and environmental services
and assist in creating innovative environments
that:
»Promote environmental stewardship and
sustainability;
»Honor the community’s history and natural
environment;
»Contribute to neighborhood and community
identity;
»Foster a sense of place;
»Promote public safety;
»Facilitate intergenerational recreation
opportunities;
»Meet maintenance and program needs; and
»Support revenue-generating goals.

Our work is characterized by a dedication to
quality; a flexible approach; compliance with
City, State, and Federal requirements; creativity
in planning and design; and a commitment to
completing projects on time and within budget.

Since its founding in 1982, MIG has grown to be
a strong team of over 260 employees.

Statement of Understanding
MIG understands the City of Beaumont is
seeking a qualified consultant to provide
on-call environmental planning services to
support City staff in relation to CEQA, including
preparation of an array of environmental
documents, assistance with the consultation
process, and coordination with City staff
during the CEQA public review process. We
understand the City has expanded substantially
over the last several years, and that future
development projects will require the
preparation of CEQA documents.

Our approach focuses on practical problem-
solving, recognizing that while CEQA
documents largely serve a public disclosure
purpose, they can also work to make projects
better and improve environmental conditions.

MIG achieves the objectives of its on-call
environmental services work by adhering to the
following three principles:
»First, the methodology and content are
consistent with the most current CEQA
statutes, guidelines, and case law;
»Second, mitigation recommendations are
realistic and feasible; and
»Third, findings are effectively presented
through clear and concise writing, informative
graphic design, and skillful oral presentation.

These principles result in legally sound CEQA
documents that fully and clearly inform the
public, decision-makers, and interested
agencies.

City of Beaumont | On-Call Planning and Environmental Services 5 Approach
Project Approach
MIG has successfully initiated, organized, and
managed a diverse array of planning and
environmental projects in Riverside County,
as well as many CEQA and NEPA documents
for Southern California cities and jurisdictions
throughout the entire state. Our staff has
a long and successful record working on
complex planning and environmental projects,
including tasks through on-call contracts
and third-party peer review of all types of
environmental documents. We understand the
unique project and staffing needs required
of on-call contracts, necessitating proactive
management, quickly formulating project
teams, and aligning expectations between the
client and the consultant.

Our experienced staff is capable of acting
as an extension of the Beaumont Planning
Department. We can coordinate project
and CEQA review, including the applicable
noticing and submittal requirements for
public disclosure and processes through
the State Clearinghouse and/or County.

Our staff is also experienced in making
presentations to Commissions, City Councils,
and community groups. Finally, our staff has
experience assisting with the SB 18 and AB
52 Native American consultation process. As
a multidisciplinary firm, our array of services
benefits clients; we can seamlessly integrate
our areas of expertise to support the specific
characteristics and unique environmental
challenges of each project.

Meeting On-Call Project Needs
MIG utilizes integrated project management
and accounting software to ensure that our
projects are completed on time and within
budget. We will work with City staff to expedite
the process of acquiring and managing new
assignments, thus ensuring project delivery,
quality control, and quality assurance, as well
as full capability and flexibility to provide the
appropriate services when needed.

Staff Availability
With over 260 people on staff, MIG is able to
advance multiple assignments simultaneously.

We have the personnel and resources to
accommodate new projects and to respond
to unexpected assignments. Our project
teams are assembled based on staff expertise
and capacity. The MIG staff assigned to any
project that may come from this on-call will
be committed for the duration of the project
and their current workload will not impact
their availability to successfully complete
the assignment. All our projects and staff
capacity are monitored and scheduled in
coordination with existing project workloads.

Weekly in-house firm-wide Management
Team meetings ensure a high level of
communication among project leaders and the
efficient allocation of personnel and other firm
resources. Additional meetings are held with
internal staff that frequently work together on
projects, in particular, our planning, design, and
environmental planning groups work closely to
ensure optimal allocation of staff to projects.

6 City of Beaumont | On-Call Planning and Environmental Services Quality Assurance/Quality Control
The Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/
QC) process begins with the preparation of
the scope of services and staff assignments.

The MIG project manager will closely match
staff skills and experience with each project
assignment. Once the City signs off on the
project description, scope of work, content, and
format of required technical studies, the project
manager will then have an internal kick-off
meeting to review the project assignments.

At this point, all staff will be provided clear
guidance on deliverables, and senior subject
matter experts are assigned to review
these deliverables prior to finalizing them
and sending them to the City. MIG’s project
manager will oversee all work products. The
project manager will regularly keep the City
and the applicant updated on the project's
progress. If potential issues start to develop,
the project manager will identify such issues
to the City and the applicant, and recommend
a corrective course of action before such
issues become problems. Following these QA/
QC procedures ensures that projects remain
on schedule and on budget, and that City
expectations are met. The project manager will
ensure QA/QC procedures are followed and, as
Principal-In-Charge, Pamela Steele is ultimately
responsible for oversight of these procedures
across all projects.

Budget and Schedule
Proactive project management and client
service are paramount to our success.

Our strategies for successful budget and
schedule control include: communication,
advance planning, and early establishment
(and communication) of agreed-upon scope,
budgets, milestones, and deadlines for each
task. This also takes into consideration report
and review cycles required by the City and
various other agencies and stakeholders. MIG’s
project managers carefully monitor project
costs and schedule on a regular basis to
meet the agreed-upon budget and milestone
deliverable due dates. In addition, MIG does
not overcommit our staff and will maintain
City projects as a high priority for designated
staff. Our streamlined project team will include
only essential staff in project execution.

Maintaining a streamlined project team helps
facilitate smoother project management,
simplify communications with clients and key
stakeholders, and control costs. We will create
an integrated working relationship with the City
and will provide you and the applicant with:
status updates regarding schedule and budget,
monthly progress reports, and regular informal
communication. We are proactive with our
clients in communicating project status, issues
to be resolved, the need for meetings, and
project updates and news.

Include this? it is what F&P sent over for approach.

MIG was contracted to complete an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for rehabilitation of AltaMed’s corporate headquarters in the City of Commerce, California. The project included conversion of the upper two floors of an existing self-storage building located at 2035 Camfield Avenue into office space, construction of a five-story parking structure located at 5401 Telegraph Road, and construction of a pedestrian footbridge connecting the fourth level of the new parking structure with the third floor of the existing self-storage building. Construction of the parking structure required demolition of an existing light industrial building located at 5401 Telegraph Road. The first floor of the existing public storage building was previously renovated with offices, training rooms, a wellness center, and café uses as part of Phase 1 and Phase 1A of the site rehabilitation. This project represented Phase 2 of the overall rehabilitation of the site.

Menifee Villages Specific Plan Amendment EIR Addendum
The project includes a Specific Plan Amendment to transfer dwelling units between Planning Areas, add a new Planning Area, reduce the amount of commercial development capacity, and make revisions to definition of density designations. Under the City of Menifee’s on-call contract, MIG is in the process of preparing an EIR Addendum and peer-reviewing CEQA documents, specifically Western Riverside MSHCP Consistency Analyses and burrowing owl survey reports prepared by another biological consultant for the specific plan update. While peer-reviewing the reports prepared by the biological consultant, it was discovered that several vernal pools were undocumented in the report findings despite being visible in multiple photographs provided in the report. To confirm the findings in person, MIG’s Biologist was asked to visit the site with the City and the developer to identify the vernal pools present at the site. The vernal pools constitute Riparian and Riverine resources per the Western Riverside MSHCP.

After demonstrating to the City that sensitive resources were present, the City requested that MIG conduct protocol-level vernal pool surveys, perform a jurisdictional delineation, and prepare a Determination of Biologically Equivalent or Superior Preservation (DBESP). This portion of the project was completed within the scoped budget. A separate task order was issued to examine vernal pools present onsite after the peer review.

MIG worked with the City of Santa Fe Springs to update its General Plan and prepare the Program EIR. The 2040 General Plan is a comprehensive revision to the General Plan adopted in 1993 and 1994. MIG was hired in early 2020 to completely overhaul the General Plan, including preparation of a new Environmental Justice Element. A major component of the project was updating the Housing Element for the 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Allocation of 950 housing units, which represents an 18.2% increase from the existing number of housing units. The 2040 planning horizon for the Planning Area, including the City’s Sphere of Influence, is estimated to result in increases of approximately 4,572 dwellings and approximately 1,489,300 square feet of building space. An estimated increase of approximately 13,890 residents and 4,788 jobs is projected for the 2040 horizon year. Our work also included technical reports on air quality and greenhouse gas/energy, as well as a technical analysis of noise and vibration.

MIG prepared an EIR for the development of the Duke Realty Warehouse Logistics Center, an approximately 1,192,671-square-foot, nonrefrigerated warehouse building on approximately 54.8 net acres of land. The building would have a maximum height of 50 feet and occupy a footprint area of 1,116,934 square feet. Onsite improvements would include approximately 293,739 square feet of landscaped area and approximately 974,669 square feet of Portland cement concrete paving for parking areas, loading areas, truck courts, and circulation drives. Implementation of the project would require several discretionary approvals by the County of San Bernardino (lead agency), including certification of the Final EIR, adoption of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, Airport Land Use Commission approval, Site Plan Approval, approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of the proposed warehouse building, and approval of a Tentative Parcel Map to consolidate four parcels into one large parcel.

MIG responsibilities for the project included third-party peer review of technical studies (air quality/greenhouses gases, biological resources, cultural resources, and geotechnical/soils studies) as well as preparation and processing of the EIR. Key issues for this project included historical resources (agricultural irrigation flumes), tribal cultural resources, biological resources (nesting migratory birds), air quality (VOC and NOx emissions), greenhouse gas emissions, paleontological resources, and cumulative traffic impacts (intersection Level of Service).

Through MIG’s past experience providing project entitlement services for numerous warehouse, industrial, and commercial building projects in the surrounding area, we were able to utilize our knowledge of environmental issues and neighborhood concerns associated with the East Valley area of San Bernardino County, as well as our familiarity with the San Bernardino County development review process to successfully navigate the CEQA process and deliver the Duke Realty Warehouse Logistics Center EIR on time and within budget. MIG enjoyed its collaborative working relationship with the County development staff throughout the preparation and processing of this important EIR.

CEQA/NEPA DOCUMENTS
MIG’s dedicated environmental staff have the
background and experience to properly scope
and prepare environmental impact analysis
documents for a wide variety of projects. MIG
prepares clearly written, legally defensible
environmental impact reports (EIR) and other
CEQA/NEPA compliance documentation—initial
studies (IS)/mitigated negative declarations
(MND), environmental assessments (EA)/
Findings of No Significant Impact (FONSI),
environmental impact statements (EIS), and
Categorical Exemptions/Exclusions. We
specialize in preparing both “project-specific”
environmental documents for site-specific
industrial, residential, commercial, institutional,
and mixed-use developments, as well as
broad-based “program EIRs” for specific plans,
general plans, and other policy plans.

MIG has successfully completed more than
300 EIRs, as well as numerous other CEQA
and NEPA compliance documents for public
agencies. We also provide third party peer
review services for all types of CEQA and
NEPA environmental documents and technical
studies. We regularly provide these services
to the Cities of Menifee, Commerce, Grand
Terrace, and Redlands.

AIR QUALITY IMPACT AND HEALTH

RISK ASSESSMENTS
MIG prepares the technical air quality analyses
necessary to obtain CEQA, NEPA, and other
permitting/regulatory approvals from regional,
state, and federal air agencies. MIG prepares
area and fugitive (e.g., dust and emissions from
soil disturbance and material transfer), mobile,
and stationary source emissions estimates
using agency-recommended models. The
emissions estimates developed by these
models and methodologies are compared to
regulatory thresholds of respective air quality
management districts, CEQA significance
thresholds or other state or federal regulatory
requirements as appropriate. MIG is skilled
in quantifying the emissions levels from all
aspects of a project, comparing emissions
levels and concentrations against applicable
thresholds, and developing project design
features or mitigation measures that reduce
project emissions and associated risks.

BIOLOGICAL SITE SURVEYS/SPECIAL

STATUS SPECIES SURVEYS
MIG’s experience in biological studies and
impact assessments includes the preparation
of biological surveys to evaluate existing
conditions and the presence of sensitive
habitat or special-status plant or animal species
and applicable laws pertaining to the resources
found. Biological impact assessments evaluate
the effects of a proposed project on biological
resources and are used to support CEQA/
NEPA documents and permit applications.

18 City of Beaumont | On-Call Planning and Environmental Services MIG also provides the technical support
required for Endangered Species Act Section
7 or Section 10 consultations and California
Fish and Wildlife Endangered Species Act 2081
permits. We have expertise in assessing the
potential occurrence of many sensitive species,
including many butterfly species and birds such
as the coastal California gnat catcher, least
bell’s vireo, and Cooper’s hawk.

REGULATORY PERMITTING
MIG’s wetland delineators maintain current
training and can identify whether specific areas
are covered under the jurisdiction of the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Regional
Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB),
California Department of Fish and Wildlife
(CDFW), US Department of Fish and Wildlife
(USFWS), California Coastal Commission,
and local regulatory agencies. MIG assists
cities or projects in obtaining permits from
various regulatory agencies, including, but not
limited to, the 404 Nationwide or Individual
Permits from USACE, the Lake and Streambed
Alteration Agreement from CDFW, and the 401
Water Quality Certification from RWQCB. MIG
prepares technical studies required for these
permits as well as the permit applications.

ENERGY ESTIMATES AND EVALUATION
MIG also has expertise in evaluating the new
energy impact requirements of the recently
amended state CEQA Guidelines. Project
energy consumption is estimated using
information from air quality emissions estimates
or modeling conducted for the project. MIG
would then evaluate whether the project
would result in the wasteful, inefficient, or
unnecessary consumption of energy resources,
including mobile sources. Energy-saving
factors analyzed would include site layout
and orientation, proximity to regional arterials,
building design, and any trip-reducing or other
energy-saving operations that result in the
efficient use of available energy resources.

GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG)/CLIMATE

CHANGE IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
In California, local land use authorities are
required to consider the effects of project- and
plan-level greenhouse gas emissions as part
of the CEQA review process. Many of the
models (e.g., CalEEMod) and inventories (e.g.,
OFFROAD) MIG uses to estimate emissions of
criteria air pollutants like particulate matter also
quantify GHG emissions from common GHG
sources like vehicles, electricity consumption,
and space heating; however, the methods for
evaluating GHG emissions levels can differ
from traditional air quality analyses because
GHG emissions represent a global impact,
and there are a myriad of state, national, and
international goals, policies, and programs
adopted for the purposes of reducing GHG
emissions.

City of Beaumont | On-Call Planning and Environmental Services 19 GHG emissions are also produced from less
common but high-emitting sources such as
refrigerants and electrical insulators that fall
outside the scope of traditional air quality
analyses.

NOISE IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
MIG performs noise monitoring and impact
assessments for environmental analysis,
mitigation monitoring, and other compliance
purposes. MIG has the necessary expertise and
equipment to monitor pre- and post-project
noise levels, documenting in-situ attenuation
patterns, and evaluating the effectiveness of
noise-reducing insulation and infrastructure.

MIG has monitored noise levels from
construction equipment, traffic, public events
(with and without amplified sound), and various
types of stationary equipment (e.g., HVAC
units, generators, concrete batch plants). MIG
collects and analyzes project-specific noise
data to assess the compatibility of pre- and
post-project noise levels with zoning standards,
general plan standards, and general quality of
life standards. MIG staff can clearly articulate
noise impact findings to decision-making
bodies and have worked with community
members, project architects, municipal staff,
and project proponents to develop mitigation
in the form of operating restrictions, sound
barriers, and sound power output limits that
provide community and project benefits.

TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Fehr & Peers will prepare all necessary
transportation studies in accordance with
Senate Bill (SB 743) utilizing Vehicle Miles
Traveled (VMT) to perform transportation
impact analysis. Fehr & Peers 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). Fehr & Peers
assisted the Western Riverside Council of
Governments 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.

Fehr & Peers have prepared TDF models for
many cities, counties, and regional agencies
throughout California and was 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.

Fehr & Peers have used models to generate
future forecast data on a variety of projects
for the Riverside County region in addition to
Caltrans facilities.

20 City of Beaumont | On-Call Planning and Environmental Services Fehr & Peers modeling expertise extends
to other software tools, such as simulation
software and capacity-analysis software. Fehr &
Peers will also post-process raw model outputs
to develop the appropriate level of traffic
volumes and peak-hour turning movements
at intersections and segments. Fehr & Peers
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 air quality,
GHG, and noise impact analysis.

When Caltrans is involved, Fehr & Peers will
adhere to Caltrans requirements (including
the Traffic Analysis Framework) and provide
defensible and mutually acceptable mitigation
measures whenever necessary.

TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES
MIG, in a consultative capacity, advises our
clients regarding cost-effective options to avoid
or reduce project impacts. The MIG tailored
approach also includes the documentary
procedures concerning Native American
Consultation and/or Coordination as specified
in SB 18 and AB 52 to ensure their involvement
in protecting Tribal Cultural Resources,
properties, and sensitive archaeological sites.

VISUAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
MIG’s graphic and computer simulation staff
specialize in computerized view simulations and
preparation of visual impact analyses. Our team
can prepare and/or review visual simulations,
urban design height analyses, shade studies,
and other illustrative plans needed for all
types of projects. Our team has extensive
experience creating illustrations and analyzing
environments allowing for the objective review
and understanding of projects.
