requirements under AB 52 or Section 106. It is assumed that the lead agency will conduct Section 106 and/or AB 52 Tribal Consultation. Upon request, CONSULTANT can assist in coordinating AB 52 and or Section 106 consultation requirements (see Task 3.3.4 for AB 52 Support).
Assumptions:
• The City will provide CONSULTANT with confirmation on the Project site footprint, the proposed Limits of Disturbance (LOD), and/or Area of Potential Effects (APE) as delineated for the Project at the time of authorization or NTP. It is assumed that this information will be provided by the City and will not change once CONSULTANT has initiated the tasks above. If there are any changes to the Project site, LOD, and/or APE boundaries after NTP, a revised scope and cost may be necessary to review and address appropriately. • All required records searches will be submitted within 1 week of receipt of NTP and confirmation of the proposed LOD, APE, and Project site footprint boundaries by the City. • Fees incurred by the IC and Museum to conduct the record searches, estimated at $1,380, are included as part of this task. CONSULTANT will bill the actual amount these institutions charge without a markup.
• Currently, the IC estimates 6 to 8 weeks from the date of request to provide results for a records search. Currently, the Museum estimates 2 to 3 weeks from the date of request to provide results for a records search. Currently, the NAHC estimates 4 to 6 weeks from the date of request to provide results for the SLF request. • This task does not currently include the issuance of NAHC Scoping Notification Letters to NAHC-listed points of contact to request information regarding the proposed Project site.
These informal evidence gathering letters are not a substitute for government -to -government consultation by the permitting agency. If the SLF search returns positive results and/or the City requests that these notification letters be transmitted, a revised scope of work and cost will be necessary.
• This task assumes that no previously documented cultural or paleontological resources are recorded within the Project site. If the records search data reveals that potentially significant cultural or paleontological resources are documented within the Project site and/or surrounding half -mile radius study area that may be affected by the Project, further research may be required, and a revised scope of work and cost may be necessary.
Deliverables: This task includes records search requests, review and processing of results provided, and related research to be incorporated within the Cultura and Paleontological Resources Reports.
Task 3.3.2: Field Survey
CONSULTANT will complete a field survey of the proposed Project site, LOD, and/or Project APE (as delineated by the City). The cultural resources survey will be conducted pursuant to the County of Riverside Planning Department Cultural Resources Investigation Standards and in accordance with the professional standards as described by the National Parks Service, Secretary of Interior's Standards and Guidelines, as amended, for Archaeology and Historic Preservation. CONSULTANT cultural resources specialist will survey the Project site for the presence of:
• Prehistoric artifacts (e.g., flaked stone tools), stone milling tools, tool-making debris, • Historic artifacts (e.g., metal, glass, ceramics),
• Sediment discoloration (ex. midden, hearth features), • Depressions and other features indicative of the former presence of structures or buildings (e.g., post holes, foundations),
• Historic ruins, buildings, structures, and/or objects.
In addition to the archaeological resources survey, a paleontological resources survey will be conducted within the Project site. The paleontological resource survey will include a pedestrian survey of the Project site to identify any evidence (presence or absence) of paleontological resources visible on the surface.
Based on available information this cost estimate assumes that no cultural or paleontological resources may be identified during survey and require in -field, and post -field documentation. Should any cultural or paleontological resources be identified during the survey, and upon approval or request by the City to document newly identified resources, a revised scope of work and cost will be necessary to address appropriately.
Assumptions:
• The City or Client will provide CONSULTANT with confirmation on the Project site boundary to be surveyed (which may be based on the proposed Limits of Disturbance (LOD), and/or Area of Potential Effects (APE) as delineated for the Project) at the time of authorization or NTP. It is assumed that this information will not change once CONSULTANT has initiated the tasks above. If any of the above parameters are changed after the survey(s) has been completed, additional survey may be required. If there are any changes to the Project site, LOD, and/or APE boundaries, such that additional survey is required, a revised scope and cost will be necessary.
• The City will grant access to all properties within the Project site requiring survey. If access to restricted parcels is not available at the time of the scheduled survey subsequent surveys may be required at additional time and costs.
• This task and associated cost assume that the cultural and paleontological resources survey will be completed simultaneously, in the effort to be more efficient. If the two surveys are requested or required to be conducted separately, a revised scope and cost may be necessary.
• This proposal does not include costs associated with the required presence of a Native American Monitor during survey. Should a Native American Monitor be required during survey of the proposed Project site, it is assumed that the City will cover related costs. If CONSULTANT is required to provide a Native American Monitor for the survey, a contract modification will be necessary.
• This task assumes that no previously undocumented cultural resources will be identified and recorded within the Project site during the survey. If the survey reveals that potentially significant cultural resources are identified within the Project site, which may be affected by the Project, a contract modification will be required to address appropriately.
Deliverables: This task includes a cultural and paleontological resources pedestrian field survey of the proposed Project site, LOD, and/or Project APE (as delineated by the City).
Task 3.3.3: Cultural Resources and Paleontological Resources Assessment Report(s) The Cultural Resources Assessment Report will be prepared according to the County of Riverside Planning Department Cultural Resources Investigation Standards, and in accordance with Archaeological Resource Management Report (ARMR) Guidelines and California State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) Guidelines. This task assumes that the records search results will not include any previously documented cultural resources in the Project site that will require updated documentation, and no previously undocumented cultural resources will be identified in the Project site during the field survey. The negative report will address the results of the records searches, background research, prehistoric, ethnographic, and historical contexts, and field survey methods and results. The report is assumed to contain up to 30 pages of text, plus graphics, and appendices.
If cultural resources are identified within the Project site as a result of the records searches or the field survey, they will need to be discussed in the report and documented on State Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 -series forms and included as a confidential appendix. CONSULTANT will provide recommendations for identified cultural resources for their inclusion on the CRHR and NRHP and recommend appropriate mitigation measures, as necessary.
CONSULTANT will also prepare a Paleontological Resources Assessment Report. This task assumes that the results of the paleontological records searches will be negative and that a standard standalone technical report will be sufficient for summarizing the results of the paleontological resources assessment. The negative report will detail the general geologic context, results of the paleontological records search, field survey, and review of County of Riverside Land Information System, to address the potential for proposed construction activities to impact paleontological resources and recommend appropriate mitigation measures, as necessary.
CONSULTANT will provide draft reports to the Client/City for review within 6 weeks of completion of the survey. This cost estimate assumes that only one round of consolidated report comments from the Client/City will be received to be incorporated into the final document(s), respectively, after draft review. If additional comments are received, a revised scope of work and cost for additional review may be necessary.
Assumptions:
• CONSULTANT will provide draft reports to the Client/ City for review within 6 weeks after the field survey is completed.
• This task cost estimate assumes that only one round of consolidated report comments from the Client will be received to be incorporated into the final documents within two weeks after draft review. If additional comments are received, a revised scope of work and cost for additional review may be necessary.
• This task assumes that no previously documented cultural or paleontological resources are recorded within the Project site. This task further assumes that no previously undocumented cultural or paleontological resources will be identified in the Project site during the survey. If any cultural or paleontological resources are identified within the Project site, a revised scope of work and cost will be required to address appropriately. • This task does not include analysis of historic period -built environment resources. It is assumed that no such resources are located within the Project site or adjacent right-of-way
(publicly accessible surface streets). If historic period -built environment infrastructure is identified within the Project right-of-way, and may be affected by the Project, these resources would need to be evaluated for eligibility for listing on the NRHP, the CRHR, and/or a local register. If historic period -built environment resources that may be affected by the Proposed Project are identified, a separate scope and cost will be required to assess these resources. • The report deliverables associated with this task will focus on the known areas of direct impact as illustrated in associated documents within the Request for Proposal (RFP).
Laydown, storage, or utility yards, or the like, have not been identified within the RFP documents, and are therefore not part of this study proposal. • This proposal does not include cultural resources testing, data recovery, analysis, monitoring, or similar programs.
Deliverables: Electronic copy of the Cultural Resources Report and Paleontological Resources Assessment Report with results to be incorporated in the environmental document.
Task 3.3.4: AB 52 Tribal Consultation Support
AB 52 required an update to CEQA Appendix G to include a new category titled "Tribal Cultural Resources". As a Lead Agency, the City is required to conduct AB 52 consultation with requesting tribal groups on a government -to -government basis. This task will provide support to the City including, but not limited to preparing and transmitting Request to Consult Letters to respective tribes via email and certified mail; support with consultation regarding the proposed Project plans and potential impacts; support arranging conference calls with tribes; and/or development of mitigation measures, as appropriate. Should any tribe request a site visit, or require further calls to conclude consultation, it is assumed that City will cover this expense and provide the tribe(s) an opportunity to visit the Project site.
Assumptions:
• This task includes the issuance of Request to Consult Letters under AB 52 to City -listed points of contact to offer noticing tribal groups an opportunity to request consultation. It is assumed that City has a prepared list of no more than three Tribal Representatives who have previously expressed a desire to be notified when a Project requires AB 52 consultation.
Nevertheless, it is unknown how many tribal contacts will respond with a request to consult, and it is also unknown how many meetings will be required to fulfill the requirement of engaging in meaningful consultation with requesting tribes as mandated under AB 52 guidelines. This task assumes that CONSULTANT will support arranging and attending up to three consultation meetings. Additional meeting requests will require substantial additional time to coordinate and will require additional fees.
• This task includes AB 52 consultation support with requesting tribal groups and includes time for up to three 1 -hour meetings with City Staff and tribal members in an online forum, and assistance reviewing or drafting potential mitigation measure language. • This proposal does not include attending field visits requested by tribal groups requesting consultation.
Deliverables: Drafting up to three Request to Consult Letters and Project site maps for City review and approval; transmittal and tracking support, assistance with coordination and attending up to three 1 -hour consultation meetings.
Task 3.4: Regulatory Permitting Applications
Based on our current understanding of the Project, it is assumed that the Project will require a Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) from USACE, a CWA Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the RWQCB, and a Section 1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement (LSAA) from the California Department Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). The tasks associated with obtaining these permits are outlined below.
As part of application preparation, CONSULTANT will use the potential Project impacts identified in the aquatic resources' delineation report (Task 3.2 of this proposal), the GIS files generated from the delineation, and the Project design CADD files to be provided by the City. The Project impacts will be categorized as either permanent or temporary, by regulatory agency jurisdiction, and by resource type (e.g., wetlands, non -wetland waters, streams). The impacts will be depicted graphically in figures and presented in tables. CONSULTANT will also work with the Project team to develop a conceptual mitigation plan to include in the permit applications, if applicable.
Task 3.4.1: Pre -Application Consultation with Agencies CONSULTANT will initiate contact with USACE, Santa Ana RWQCB and CDFW to provide preliminary Project information, solicit concerns, and discuss the requirements and timing associated with the regulatory permits. The primary objective of initiating agency coordination early in the Project is to explain the proposed Project, Project schedule, receive agency buy -in of the permit approach, and to identify specific agency staff assigned to the Project in advance of submitting permit applications.
CONSULTANT has found that early coordination with the agencies and identification of assigned agency staff prior to submitting applications has led to quicker agency review of submitted materials and faster response times.
RWQCB currently requires a pre -filing meeting no less than 30 days prior to the submittal of an application. USACE recommends a pre -application meeting prior to application submittal. Such contact may consist of a site visit, a Project team conference call or written communication. It is assumed that three teleconference meetings of approximately 2 hours duration each and associated preparation time may be required.
Task 3.4.2: USACE Clean Water Act Section 404 Permit Notification The level of work associated with preparing the notification to the USACE pursuant to Section 404 is dependent on the magnitude of Project impacts on jurisdictional waters and other resources. The decision would be based on the findings of the aquatic resources delineation. If it is determined during the jurisdictional delineation that the aquatic resources on -site are considered Waters of the United States, it is assumed the proposed Project impacts on those aquatic resources would require an individual permit application; however, if the Project meets specific requirements under the Nationwide Permit Program, the Project may pursue a NWP.
The level of effort required to obtain regulatory permits is commensurate with the complexity of the Project and Project schedule. This scope represents our anticipated level of coordination necessary to facilitate regulatory permits for this Project. A contingency budget has been added to this task should additional coordination not typical with the agencies be necessary.
Deliverables: One draft copy of permit application package (including figures, alternatives analysis, restoration plan, and compensatory mitigation plan) submitted electronically for City and/or Project team review. One PDF electronic copy of each final permit application submitted to each of the regulatory agencies and the City.
Task 3.4.3: RWQCB Application for an Individual Water Quality Certification / Waste Discharge Requirements Order
Projects that require a federal license or permit (such as a Section 404 permit) and that may result in a discharge to jurisdictional waters would require a Water Quality Certification pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA) to the Santa Ana RWQCB. After completion of biological technical studies and a jurisdictional delineation of waters, CONSULTANT will prepare the necessary documentation and application for RWQCB for its review of the Project.
RWQCB currently requires a pre -filing meeting no less than 30 days prior to the submittal of an application. Pursuant to CWA Section 401 and the Porter -Cologne Water Quality Control Act, CONSULTANT will prepare an application for an Individual Water Quality Certification and/or Waste Discharge Requirements to be submitted to the Santa Ana RWQCB. The RWQCB application will include a detailed Project description, a description of proposed impacts, identification of Project specific Best Management Practices (BMPs), a mitigation approach, and CEQA documentation. An application fee must be provided to the RWQCB as part of the request and will be provided by the City/Client. RWQCB notifies an Applicant within 30 days of submittal of the application whether the application is considered complete. If the application is determined to be incomplete, RWQCB will identify the items required for completion. RWQCB restarts the 30 -day review with every incomplete letter after the requested materials are submitted. If RWQCB fails to identify whether an application is complete within 30 days, additional support may be requested from USACE under CWA. Once the application is considered complete, RWQCB has 60 days to one year to issue a certification. The total permitting process may range from 90 to 180 days for a typical Water Quality Certification (WQC).
This task assumes one draft and one final permit application before submittal to Santa Ana RWQCB.
This task also assumes the application and any applicable fees will be submitted by District staff and is not included as part of this task.
The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Procedures Implementation Guidance may require that the following be submitted as part of a complete application, as applicable:
• An alternatives analysis
• A restoration plan to address the temporary impacts;
• A draft compensatory mitigation plan for permanent impacts • CEQA documentation.
CONSTULANT will work with the City to prepare the alternatives analysis for incorporation into the application if the Project is identified as Tier I or Tier II .
Restoration Plan: If required, a draft restoration plan will be prepared that outlines design, implementation, assessment, and maintenance for restoring aquatic resource areas of temporary impact to pre -Project condition is required as part of a complete application. CONSTULANT will prepare the draft restoration plan and submit it as part of the RWQCB application. CONSTULANT will work with RWQCB staff to address any questions they may have, negotiate terms, and ultimately prepare a final restoration plan for approval by the RWQCB. If the USACE and CDFW also require a restoration plan for temporary impacts, CONSTULANT incorporate them into the CWA Section 401 to ensure the RWQCB's application includes the proposed revisions, if any.
Compensatory Mitigation Plan: If applicable, CONSTULANT will work with the City to identify agency approved mitigation banks or in -lieu fee programs to mitigate the permanent impacts on aquatic resources. The SWRCB requires permittees who intend to fulfill their compensatory mitigation obligations through such means to also submit a draft compensatory mitigation plan that addresses the following:
• A watershed profile for the project evaluation area for both the proposed dredged or fill project and the proposed compensatory mitigation project. • An assessment of the overall condition of aquatic resources proposed to be impacted by the project and their likely stressors, using an assessment method approved by the permitting authority.
• A description of how the project impacts and compensatory mitigation would not cause a net loss of the overall abundance, diversity, and condition of aquatic resources, based on the watershed profile.
CONSULTANT will prepare the draft compensatory mitigation plan, addressing the items above, and submit it as part of the RWQCB application. A draft compensatory mitigation plan is required as part of a complete application.
CONSULTANT will work with RWQCB staff to address any questions they may have and ultimately prepare a final plan for approval by the RWQCB.
CONSULTANT will provide a draft of the alternatives analysis, restoration plan, and compensatory mitigation plan (electronic format) to the City for two rounds of review prior to electronically submitting it to the RWQCB.
Deliverables: Draft RWQCB 401 Application, including alternatives analysis, restoration plan, and compensatory mitigation plan (Portable Document Format [PDF] electronic copy). Final alternatives analysis, draft restoration plan, and draft compensatory mitigation plan (PDF electronic copy) submitted to the City and RWQCB.
The level of effort required to obtain regulatory permits is commensurate with the complexity of the Project and Project schedule. This scope represents our anticipated level of coordination necessary to facilitate regulatory permits for this Project. A contingency budget has been added to this task should additional coordination not typical with the agencies be necessary.
Task 3.4.4: CDFW Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement CONSULTANT will prepare a Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration for submittal to CDFW.
CDFW has recently transitioned to an entirely online application process through the Environmental Permit Information Management System (EPIMS). This will require the City to have an account directly on EPIMS to initiate the permit application and sign any documentation or electronically provide CONSULTANT permissions to act on the City's behalf. CONSULTANT will schedule one meeting with CDFW on a virtual platform, if necessary, to facilitate CDFW's review of the Project and completion of the Agreement. This cost estimate includes no more than two rounds of comments from CDFW, and those comments do not request or require further study than what is readily available and/or identified in this proposal. A processing fee must be provided to CDFW with the notification. This fee is based on the cost of the specific Project components requiring authorization by CDFW. The Project applicant will provide all permit application fees via the payment portal on EPIMS.
The level of effort required to obtain regulatory permits is commensurate with the complexity of the Project and Project schedule. This scope represents our anticipated level of coordination necessary to facilitate regulatory permits for this Project. A contingency budget has been added to this task should additional coordination not typical with the agencies be necessary.
Deliverables: One draft copy of permit application package (including figures, alternatives analysis, restoration plan, and compensatory mitigation plan) available via EPIMS for City and/or Project team review.
Task 3.4.5: Regulatory Permitting Response Category
In some cases, the regulatory agencies may request additional information that may not be typical of other similar projects. Additional response to novel requests may be required or extended periods of review and spread -out questions may require additional time and effort. This task has been included to provide the budget required to respond to these non -typical questions and requests, as needed.
Task4: Draft and Public Review Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) Prepare Administrative Draft MND: If one or more significant impacts are identified during the IS process, and in the technical reports prepared under Task 3, CEQA allows the preparation of an MND when those impacts can be mitigated to a less -than -significant level. The preparation of an ND is similar to MND, with the exception that an MND includes mitigation measures. Therefore, the description of an MND is provided in this task.
For each CEQA environmental checklist discipline item, the existing environmental setting of the Proposed Project site and surroundings will be characterized from the existing literature base and a site visit by an environmental analyst. An environmental impacts analysis will be prepared for each checklist entry. Based on CEQA-defined significance criteria, CONSULTANT will determine the potential for any adverse or significant adverse impacts and present mitigation measures to reduce any such impacts to a level below significance. CONSULTANT will provide one electronic PDF copy of the Administrative Draft MND for one round of Client review and one round to finalize the revised changes.
Prepare/Distribute the MND and Notice of Intent: For submittal to the Office of Planning and Research (OPR), CONSULTANT will draft a Notice of Intent (NOI), Notice of Completion (NOC), Summary Form, and the Public Draft IS/MND with associated appendices to be submitted electronically on behalf of the City. The City must approve CONSULTANT as a submitter for the City on the OPR CEQANet Web portal.
CONSULTANT will prepare the NOI for distribution during the public review to agencies, interested parties, and property owners adjacent to the Proposed Project from an approved distribution list provided by the City. CONSULTANT assumes up to 80 mailings of the NOI via regular mail to adjacent property owners within 200 feet and up to 10 mailings of the NOI via certified mail to agencies and other interested parties. CONSULTANT will file the NOI to adopt an MND with the County Clerk.
CONSULTANT assumes the City will be responsible for newspaper publications or on -site postings.
Note: This task does not include attendance at any public or community outreach meetings. The environmental document will not be circulated until AB 52 consultation has been concluded.
Deliverables: One electronic PDF copy of the Public Review Draft MND and technical reports as appendices for distribution. Up to three hard copies of the Public Review Draft MND with technical reports/appendices on thumb drive or CDs. Up to 80 mailings to adjacent property owners via regular mail, and up to 10 mailings to agencies and interested parties via certified mail. State Clearinghouse submittal will be done electronically. Should additional mailings be required, CONSULTANT can prepare and mail additional notices at an additional cost.
Task 5: Final MND
Prepare Final MND with Response to Comments: Based upon comments received from public review, responses to the comments will be prepared. For the purposes of this Project and location, CONSULTANT assumes that there will be no substantive comments from the public or agencies and will not be controversial in nature. Up to 15 comment letters on the IS/MND are assumed, with responses requiring minimal further investigation. CONSULTANT may update studies based on public comment upon request with an additional scope and fee. A draft of these responses will be provided to the Client and City. Upon receipt of one complete set of comments from the Client and City on the responses, a Final MND will be prepared. This document combined with the Draft MND will constitute the Final MND to be used by the City when considering approval of the Proposed Project. This task will include up to two rounds of comments, one round from the Client and one from the City.
Prepare Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Plan and Notice of Determination: Following preparation of the MND, CONSULTANT will prepare a Draft Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Plan (MMRP). The Final MMRP incorporating the City and Client's comments will be incorporated into the Final MND. The Notice of Determination (NOD) is filed following the City's decision to carry out or approve the proposed Project for which the MND has been prepared. CONSULTANT will prepare the NOD and will file the NOD with the State Clearinghouse and the County Clerk. The City will be responsible for CDFW filing fees, if necessary. CONSULTANT will provide up to 10 hard copies of the NOD; the NOD is to be filed electronically with the State Clearinghouse and one filed with the County Clerk.
Deliverables: Three hard copies of the draft Final MND and MMRP and reviewed Final MND and MMRP with the technical reports/appendices on thumb drive or CD. One electronic copy and 10 hard copies of the NOD.
Task 6: Project Management
Project Management hours have been incorporated in the tasks listed previously. Project Management tasks cover communication and coordination with the Client, City, coordination with staff for completion of impact analysis, and Project progress and budget monitoring. This task includes internal coordination, invoicing, and bimonthly Project update calls with two CONSULTANT staff, and one City meeting (3 -hour City Council or Planning Commission meeting) with up to two staff. Additional meetings and coordination will be provided on a time and materials basis.

November 5, 2020
Revised Scope of Work
Together with the City at the kick-off meeting upon NTP, the EXP team will review our 12 -month schedule and create a baseline schedule for your approval. Portia will update the schedule bi-weekly to apprise the City of Beaumont of the work progress.
EXP will begin with topographical mapping, utility research, right of way mapping, and permit identification. Resource allocation is the roadmap for the design and oversight teams to work together delivering the project. For our 12-moSnth environmental and design schedule, the following scope of work defined in the RFP and our deep understand of the project are discussed in detail below.
Detailed Workplan of Specific Work Task
TASK 1 1 PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1.1 Meetings: A project kickoff meeting will be conducted to confirm the Scope of Services and design parameters. PDT meetings will be conducted monthly or as necessary throughout the duration of the project to track the overall project and facilitate the flow of information between the City, EXP, and all other stakeholders. Additional as -needed meetings will be held to address specific concerns. Agendas and meeting minutes will be generated for each meeting. (10 meetings assumed).
1.2 Coordination + Progress Reporting: EXP will provide coordination with City staff as well as other stakeholders as required. These may include RCFC, UPRR, Cherry Valley Water District, adjacent property owners or management companies. EXP will supervise, coordinate, monitor and review the project for conformance with standards, policies, and procedures. Monthly progress reports will also be provided to document the progress on the project. The EXP team will conduct a field review of the project site.
Deliverables:

TASK 2 1 TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY + BOUNDARY CONTROL
2.1 Control Surveys: Existing monuments will be utilized where available and durable monuments will be set as required where no suitable monuments exist. Should additional survey control be required to be set, horizontal and vertical control will be established from said existing survey control.
2.2 Photogrammetric Mapping: No additional aerial mapping will be obtained. Only existing mapping will be utilized and supplemented with ground surveys for areas of this project not covered by existing mapping.
2.3 Topographic Survey: Topographic field surveys will be performed to collect verification surveys within the project limits as identified by the design engineer. Supplemental surveys will be used to collect areas which are found to be different during our field review and to collect information at critical tie-in points, surface visible utilities and other features obscured by vegetation or shadows in the aerial mapping which fall within the survey limits. The topographic survey data will be processed and plotted at a scale comparable to the existing mapping files.
2.4 Utility Mapping: Field surveys will be performed to support the utility potholing effort. Once the potholes are completed, survey crews will obtain the location of the potholes and incorporate this information with the topographic survey.

2.5 Right of Way Base Map: Office staff will review existing base map provided by the city and verify the right of way and centerline data shown on said existing plans. Research will be conducted with the County of Riverside for maps and documents relating to the flood control right of way and street right of way. It is not anticipated that any field work will be needed for this task so no time has been included. Should there be a need for additional services beyond a review verification, these additional services will require additional fees outside this scope and fee.
Deliverables:
Topographical Mapping
• Aerial Photography
• Base Mapping with Utilities
• Right -of -Way and Control Points
TASK 3 1 UTILITIES RESEARCH
Epic will act as the primary point of contact between the utility owners and project team identified on the utility plans.
The scope of work will include:
3.1 Utility As-Builts: They will collect utility as-builts, actively participate in PDT/utility focus meetings, prepare the introductory request for as -built notices to twelve (12) utility owners and also, prepare and issue utility verification notices to make sure the facilities are accurately plotted on the project utility plans.
3.2 Reviews and Verification: Coordinate and perform up to ten (10) potholes, as well as provide a fee for each additional requested. A review and verification with the design team which facilities are considered in conflict will also be completed.
They will coordinate and plan a meeting amongst the utility owner, design team and the City as needed to discuss the project design, relocation alternatives, and a plan to resolve the conflict (Est. four (4) meetings including field meetings) and provide a final close-out file to the City.
Deliverables:
- Three (3) copies and one (1) digital copy of the Pothole Location Exhibit.
TASK 4 1 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
4.1 Biological Resources Technical Report and Focused Surveys: A detailed literature and database review will be conducted to identify special -status species known or reported from the project area, as well as applicable Western Riverside Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) area policies. Following the literature review, ICF will perform field surveys and prepare a Biological Technical Report (BTR) analyzing potential impacts to biological resources and MSHCP consistency for this task. The site is within a burrowing owl survey area, and a four -visit focused survey will be performed within all suitable habitat between March 15 and August 31 in the project's limits of disturbance (LOD) and a 500 -foot buffer.
4.2 Noise Technical Memorandum: ICF will conduct a noise analysis of construction impacts related to the Project, which would consist of 5,000 feet of reinforced concrete pipe being placed underground. Along with the residences identified toward the southern section of the alignment, ICF will identify any other noise -sensitive land uses located in the general vicinity of the Project that could be impacted by noise and vibration during construction. Based on the nature of the project, operational noise would generally be negligible. Therefore, it is assumed that operational noise will be address qualitatively. The City of Beaumont generally exempts construction, except for interior levels that could exceed the City's municipal code at residences.
4.3 Cultural Resources Assessment: Historic maps and photographs will also be reviewed, if available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the SCCIC is closed to outside researchers; therefore, records search results are
p

expected to be delayed. According to SCCIC, a duration of at least 13 weeks should be expected from the time the record search is submitted to the time that the record search information is received. The scope of work will include:
• Pre -field Coordination
• Pedestrian Survey
Paleontological Resources
4.4 Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Technical Memorandum: The Air Quality Impact Analysis will be prepared to meet County and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) CEQA requirements. Impact analyses will be prepared consistent with the analytical methodology, technical requirements, and significance criteria outlined by the SCAQMD in their CEQA Air Quality Analysis Handbook (as updated per the SCAQMD website).
4.5 CEQA Categorical Exemption: ICF will prepare a CEQA Notice of Exemption (NOE) for approval by the City and filing by ICF. ICF assumes that the noise, biological resources, air quality, and cultural resources technical studies and memos that are prepared will support the NOE. Only the NOE is assumed; no separate report or document.
Deliverables:

5.1 Geotechnical Borings: Geotechnical borings will be excavated along the proposed storm drain alignment. We have budgeted two days of drilling to excavate ten borings. We will measure the pavement and base thicknesses, log the geotechnical borings based on USCS criteria, and collect soil samples for laboratory testing. The borings will be backfilled with soil cuttings and temporarily patched with cold patch asphalt. The scope of work will include:
5.2 Laboratory Testing: Perform laboratory testing, which is anticipated to include maximum density/optimum moisture, in -situ density and moisture, direct shear, corrosion screening, and R -value testing. The final laboratory program will be based on conditions encountered during drilling.
5.3 Geotechnical Report: Prepare a geotechnical report for the proposed improvements. The report will include geotechnical recommendations for design and construction of the storm drain line, including temporary excavations, utility backfill, pavement restoration, temporary shoring pressures, boring logs, boring location map, results of laboratory testing, and identification of geologic hazards which could impact the proposed improvements.
OPTIONAL - Pump Testing will be performed if groundwater is encountered within the borings. We will collect water samples during drilling and run environmental laboratory tests to determine the chemical properties of the water so a disposal plan can be made. The cost of disposing of the water will depend on the chemicals within the groundwater.

Geology
The alignment is mostly underlain by older surficial sediments consisting of alluvial sand and gravel of plutonic and gneissic detritus from the nearby San Bernardino mountains.
The entire alignment has segments located on or within a half mile of 2 other alluvial units, both contain sand and gravel, clay from flood plains and stream channels may be present.
Groundwater
Groundwater data was reviewed for several locations near the proposed alignment. The shallowest reported groundwater is approximately 100 feet bgs at a location near the I- 10 and Hwy 79 connection approximately 4,200 feet west of the alignment. Shallower perched groundwater may be encountered locally, particularly at bedrock contacts.
PROJECT APPROACH / SCOPE OF WORK
Our scope of work will include the following tasks.

Revised May 11, 2023
Task 1: Protect Set-up
As part of the project set-up, our staff will conduct the following. • Conduct a site reconnaissance and stake/mark the boring locations along the pipe alignment so drill rig access to all the locations is available. ▪ Obtain a no -fee encroachment permit from the City of Beaumont. We understand the City will obtain permit to drill within Caltrans and UPRR right- of-way. Converse will assist in filling out the paperwork. • Notify Underground Service Alert (USA) at least 48 hours prior to drilling to clear the boring locations of any conflict with existing underground utilities.
Task 2: Subsurface Exploration
In general, traffic control during our field investigation will be conducted along the proposed alignment using signs, cones, and an arrow board in accordance with the WATCH manual.
Our surface investigation will include drilling exploratory borings. The purpose of the borings will be to:
■ Obtain subsurface information along the pipe alignment. ■ Collect undisturbed and bulk samples of the various soil types for laboratory testing.
As indicated in the RFP, we plan to drill a total of 6 borings. Based on the existing profile, depth to pipe invert will range from 25.0 to35.0 feet below existing ground surface. We plan drill the borings between 25.0 and 50.0 feet below existing ground surface or to refusal, whichever is shallower.
The borings will be drilled with a truck mounted rig (CME 75 or equivalent) equipped with 8 -inch diameter hollow stem augers for soils sampling. Soils will be continuously logged and classified by the geologist/engineer in the field by visual examination in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System.
Undisturbed ring samples of the subsurface materials will be obtained at 5 -foot intervals, at changes in soil profiles, or where unusual conditions are encountered. The relatively undisturbed ring samples will be obtained using a Modified California Sampler (2.4 -inch inside diameter and 3.0 -inch outside diameter) lined with thin -walled sample rings. The sampler will be driven into the bottom of the borehole with successive drops of a 140 -pound hammer falling 30 inches. The number of successive drops of the driving weight ("blows") required for each 6 inches of penetration will be shown on the boring log. The soil will be retained in brass rings (2.4 inches in diameter and 1.0 inch in height) and carefully sealed in waterproof plastic containers for shipment to the laboratory. Bulk samples of representative soil types will be collected in plastic bags from various depths and within a 5 -foot zone of the pipe elevation. Groundwater levels, where encountered in the borings, will be recorded.

Revised May 11, 2023
The borings will be backfilled with soil/cement cuttings and compacted by pushing down with augers using the drill rig weight. The upper 1 -foot will be filled with quick cement and the surface sprayed with black dye. If construction is delayed, the surface may settle over time. We recommend the owner monitor the boring site and backfill any settlement or depression that might occur, or provide fencing around the area of the boring locations to prevent trip and fall injuries from occurring near the area of any potential settlement.
Task 3: Laboratory Testing
Soil samples obtained during exploratory drilling will be tested in our laboratory to evaluate their physical characteristics and engineering properties. Laboratory testing may include, but will not necessarily be limited to, the following. • In -place moisture and density.
• R -value
• Expansion Index
■ Soils Corrosivity.
• Atterberg Limits
■ Sieve analysis.
• Laboratory maximum density.
• Direct shear.
Task 4: Engineering Analyses and Geotechnical Report
Data obtained from the exploratory borings and laboratory testing program will be evaluated to prepare a report which will include the following. • Project description.
• Present condition of the street along the storm drain alignment. • Logs of the exploratory borings.
• Depth of groundwater and bedrock, if encountered.
• Existing pavement structural section at the boring locations. • Discussion on the laboratory test results including soils corrosivity. • Local Geology and faulting.
• Seismic parameters based on 2022 California Building Code. • Liquefaction potential along the SD alignment based on available information. • Allowable soils bearing pressures.
• Allowable at -rest, active, passive and seismic lateral earth pressures. • Settlement estimates.
• Soils parameters for bore and jack design.
• RCP pipe bedding recommendation in accordance with RCFCD/City of Beaumont. • Excavatibility of the soils along the storm drain alignment and at the jacking and receiving pits.
• Jacking and receiving pits backfilling recommendations. • Stability of temporary trench excavation.
• Shoring design and construction recommendations.
• Suitability of excavated materials for use as bedding and backfill.

Conditions: Unit rates presented on this fee schedule are for routinely performed geotechnical laboratory tests. Numerous other earth material physical tests can be performed in our geotechnical laboratories, including rock core, soil cement and soil lime mixture tests. Tests not listed can be quoted upon request. This fee schedule is valid through December 31, 2023.
Prices are based on the assumption that samples are uncontaminated and do not contain heavy metals, acids, carcinogens and/or volatile organics which can be measured by an organic vapor analyzer or photoionization detector with a concentration greater than 50 parts -per -million (ppm). Quoted testing fees are based on the assumption that no protective clothing will be required to handle samples. If Level D protective clothing will be required during handling of samples (as defined in Federal CFR Part 1910.120), then a 40% increase in fees presented in this schedule will be applied. Level C protective clothing will be a 60% increase in fees. Converse will not handle samples that require either Level B or Level A protection in our geotechnical laboratories.
Contaminated samples will be returned to the client. Uncontaminated samples will be disposed of 30 days after presentation of test results. The client must disclose the source of samples. Samples imported from out of state will be incinerated after testing in accordance with requirements of the United States Department of Agriculture. Soil samples obtained within the State of California currently designated quarantine areas will also be incinerated in accordance with the requirement of the State of California, Department of Food and Agriculture, Division of Plant Industry, Pest Exclusion. A $5.00 incineration fee will be added to each sample that is required to be incinerated in accordance with State and Federal law.
Test results requiring plots will be presented in a publishable format generated from computer programs. Otherwise, raw test numbers will be presented. A minimum laboratory fee of $50.00 will be charged to present and mail test results. Beyond the standard U.S. Mail delivery, specialized transmittal will be charged at additional cost (e.g., Federal Express, UPS, etc.). Geotechnical testing does not include engineering and/or geologic review and analysis.
Typical turnaround for geotechnical laboratory testing is two weeks (or roughly ten working days). To expedite test turnaround to five working days, a 50% increase in the fees in this schedule will be applied. Many geotechnical tests require at least one week to perform in accordance with ASTM or other standard specifications. Fees presented in this schedule for relatively undisturbed direct shear, consolidation or expansion pressure tests are based on the assumption that 2.416 -inch inside diameter brass ring samples will be provided to the geotechnical laboratory for testing. Remolded specimens will be compacted in standard 2.5 -inch outside diameter brass rings for direct shear, consolidation and expansion pressure tests. All fees presented in this schedule are based on the assumption that the client will deliver samples to our laboratory at no additional cost to Converse.
Invoices will be issued monthly and are payable on receipt unless otherwise agreed upon. Interest of 1.5% per month (but not exceeding the maximum allowed by law) will be payable on any amount not paid within thirty days; payment thereafter to be applied first to accrued interest and then to the principle unpaid amount. The Client shall pay any attorneys' fees or other costs incurred in collecting any delinquent amounts.

General Conditions -
Right of Entry
Client warrants to Converse that it has full legal right to authorize Converse's entry upon the real property where Converse's services are to be performed ("Site" herein) and upon all property, if any, required for ingress and egress to the Site.
Client authorizes Converse to enter upon the Site and such adjoining property as is necessary to allow Converse to perform its services.
Converse will take reasonable precautions to minimize any damage to the Site; however, Client acknowledges that during the normal course of the performance of Converse's services, some damage to the Site may occur. The correction of any damage to the Site (surface or subterranean) shall be the obligation of the Client
Information Supplied by Client
Client warrants the accuracy of any information supplied by it to Converse, acknowledges that Converse will not verify the accuracy of such information, and agrees that Converse is entitled to rely upon any such information.
Client shall immediately notify Converse in writing of any data, information or knowledge in the possession of or known to Client relating to conditions existing at the Site and shall provide Converse with the location, size and depth of any and all underground tanks, piping or structures existing upon the Site.
Client shall defend, indemnify and save harmless Converse, its officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims, costs, suits and damages, including attorneys' fees, arising out of errors, omissions and inaccuracies in documents and information provided to Converse by Client
Ownership of Data and Documents; Samples
All reports, boring logs, field data, field notes, laboratory test data, calculations, estimates and other documents prepared by Converse shall remain the sole property of Converse.
Client shall have the right to the use of all data, recommendations, proposals, reports, design criteria and similar information provided to it by Converse ("information" herein); provided, however, that the information shall not be used or relied upon by any party other than Client, save and except as may be required by the design and licensing requirements of the project for which the information is provided; further, such use shall be limited to the particular site and project for which the information is provided. To the extent Client utilizes Converse's information by providing or making the same available to any third party (a) Client agrees to give written notice to any such third party that it may not utilize or rely on any aspect of Converse's information and (b) Client agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Converse harmless against any and all daims, demands, costs, losses, damages and expenses, including attorneys fees, that may be asserted against or sought from Converse by any such third party.
Client's right to the use of the information is expressly conditioned upon Client's prompt payment to Converse of all sums due under the Client/Converse agreement. In the event of Clients nonpayment or partial payment of said amounts, Client agrees that it shall not use any of the information for any purpose whatsoever and shall retum the same to Converse within 2 business days upon demand.
Converse will retain all samples of soil, rock or other materials obtained in the course of performing its services for a period of thirty (30) days. Thereafter, further storage or transfer of samples to Client may be made at Clients expense upon written request from Client to Converse received by Converse prior to the expiration of the 30 -day period.
Converse shall retain permanent records relating to the Converse services for a period of five (5) years following submittal of Converse's report, during which period the records will be made available to Client upon reasonable notice given by Client and upon payment to Converse of an amount sufficient to reimburse Converse for its necessary and reasonable expenses in making said records available.
Standard of Care and Professional Responsibility
Client acknowledges that the services to be performed by Converse involve the use of tests, calculations, analyses and procedures which are in a constant state of development improvement and refinement and that as such, improvements, changes in methods, and modifications of procedures have been made in the past, are now being made, and are expected to continue to be made in the future.
Further, Client recognizes that, while necessary for investigations, commonly used exploration methods, such as drilling borings or excavating trenches, involve an inherent risk. For example, exploration on a site containing contaminated materials may result in inducing cross - contamination, the prevention of which may not be complete using presently recognized sealing methods.
Client recognizes that the state of practice, including but not limited to the practice relating to contamination or hazardous waste conditions, is changing and evolving and that standards existing at the present time may subsequently change as knowledge increases and the state of the practice continues to improve.
Client recognizes that projects containing contaminated materials may not perform as anticipated by Client, even though Converse's services are performed in accordance with the level of care and skill required of it. Further, certain govemmental regulations relating to hazardous waste sites may purport to require achievement of results which cannot be accomplished in an absolute sense. It is recognized that a satisfactorily designed, constructed and maintained monitoring system may assist in the early detection of environmental changes allowing for early correction of problems. Unless it is specifically included in the scope of services to be performed by Converse, Client understands that Converse shall not perform such monitoring.
The services to be provided by Converse pursuant to the agreement to which these General Conditions are a part shall be provided in accordance with generally accepted professional engineering, environmental, and geologic practice in the area where these services are to be rendered and at the time that services are rendered. Client acknowledges that the present standard in the engineering and environmental professions does not include, and Converse does not extend to Client, a guarantee of perfection of the work contemplated hereby; further, that even in the exercise of normal and reasonable care, errors or omissions may from time to time occur. Except as expressly set forth in these General Conditions, no other warranty, express or implied, is extended by Converse.
Converse shall have no duty to supervise, coordinate or otherwise be involved in the performance of services or work by any third -party consultant, contractor or subcontractor.
Where Converse's services involve field observation of grading, filling and compaction (or any of them), it is agreed:
a. That Converse shall in no way be responsible for the manner in which such work is performed by any third party.
b. That in the event Converse is to provide periodic observation, Client acknowledges that Converse cannot be responsible for any work performed at a time or times when Converse was not performing its observation services.
Converse will not provide an opinion conceming the performance of any third party, save and except to the extent that said work was in fact observed and tested by Converse during the course of construction.
c. That where Converse's services include continuous observation, Client agrees not to allow grading, filling or compaction to be performed at any time or times when Converse is not physically present upon the Site and shall restrict the amount and extent of such grading, filling and compaction to that which can be properly observed by Converse personnel present on the Site. d. That in the event Converse is to conduct test borings for Client, Client acknowledges that the accuracy of said test borings relates only to the specific location in which the boring itself was performed and that the nature of many sites is such that differing subsurface soil characteristics can be experienced within a small distance. As such, Client acknowledges that greater accuracy is obtained when the number of test borings is increased.
Technical Limitations
Client acknowledges and agrees that (1) it is unreasonable to expect Converse to be able to completely evaluate subsurface conditions, even after the most comprehensive exploratory program; (2) site conditions change frequently due to the passage of time, human activities, and dimatic conditions and uncertainties are therefore inherent in the nature of Converse's services and impossible to avoid; (3) the identification of geotechnical and environmental conditions and the prediction of future or concealed conditions is an inexact scientific endeavor; (4) the state of the art of geotechnical and environmental practice is such that Converse cannot guarantee that its recommendations will prove adequate on this project and the Client assumes the risk of any such failure, except as otherwise provided in these General Conditions and that (5) these General Conditions contains specific LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.
Converse shall indemnify Client, its officers, directors, agents or employees from any daim, demand or liability arising from personal injury or property loss or damage caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Converse.
Anything to the contrary in the agreement to which these General Conditions are attached or in these General Conditions notwithstanding, Converse's liability shall be limited to the lesser of the fees charged to Client by Converse for the services performed for Client, or the sum of fifty thousand dollars. Client may, at its option, increase the maximum amount for which Converse shall be liable by payment of an additional fee.
For the maximum liability sum of one hundred thousand dollars, the additional amount to be paid shall be four percent of the total Converse fee charged hereunder; for the maximum liability sum of one million dollars, the additional amount to be paid shall be five percent of the total Converse fees charged hereunder Client acknowledges and agrees that its recovery, if any, shall be satisfied, in the first instance, from the proceeds of Converse's insurance, and to the extent of any deficiency in the available insurance proceeds, then and only then, by Converse.
Client acknowledges that Converse has agreed to charge Client a reduced fee for services in exchange for the above limitation of liability and that said reduction in fees is consideration for said limitation.
Client shall defend and save harmless Converse, its officers, directors, agents and employees from all liability, daims and demands, induding expenses of suit and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from personal injuries, including disease and death, property loss or damage, injury to others (including personnel of Client, Converse or Converse Consultants GC99-1
Page655of744
subcontractors performing work hereunder), and air or ground pollution or environmental impairment arising out of or in any manner connected with or related to the performance of Converse's services, except where there is a judicial determination that such injury, loss or damage shall have been caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Converse.
Client acknowledges that Converse has charged Client a reduced fee for services to be performed by it in exchange for this hold harmless and that the reduction in fees is consideration for said hold harmless provision.
Converse will not be liable for consequential damages of any kind, nature or description.
Hazardous Waste, Pollution and Health Hazard Projects ("Hazardous Projects" Herein)
Prior to the commencement of services by Converse on any hazardous project, Client agrees to advise Converse in writing of any known hazardous waste or materials existing on or near the Site or if any of said services are to be performed in an area where dust, fumes, gas, noise, vibrations or other particulate or nonparticulate matter is in the atmosphere where it raises a potential or possible health hazard or nuisance to anyone working within the area.
Anything in these General Conditions notwithstanding, Client shall indemnify and hold Converse, its officers, directors, agents, servants and employees, harmless from any claim, demand or action brought by any party whomsoever, including employees of Converse which claim, demand or action is based upon injury or damage caused or alleged to have been caused by hazardous wastes or hazardous materials whether or not such waste or materials were known to exist prior to the commencement of services.
Client agrees to be responsible for the removal and disposal of any hazardous waste uncovered as a result of the site investigation, including drill cuttings, unless specifically included within the scope of work
It is agreed that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials constitutes a changed condition mandating an immediate renegotiation of the scope of services or termination of services. Converse will at all times endeavor to perform in a faithful and trustworthy manner. Client understands that Client or Converse may be required by local and/or state and/or federal statute to report the discovery of hazardous materials to a government agency. Client also understands that Converse may be required by local and/or state and/or federal statute to report the discovery of hazardous materials to a government agency, and that Converse, when practical, will do so only after notifying Client In the event Converse discovers hazardous material that we believe poses an immediate threat to public health and safety, Converse will use its best judgment to notify appropriate emergency personnel for immediate containment. Client agrees to take no action of any kind against Converse when Converse makes a good -faith effort to fulfill its obligations.
Client's Responsibilities.
Client shall immediately provide Converse with full information in writing as to Client's requirements for the services to be provided by Converse and shall designate in writing within five (5) days of the effective date of the agreement to which these General Conditions are a part, a representative to act on Client's behalf in conjunction with the services to be provided hereunder. Client shall promptly review all documents, reports, data and recommendations submitted by Converse and shall communicate with Converse concerning such reviews for the purpose of avoiding delay in the performance of the services to be rendered by Converse.
Client shall notify any third party who may perform on the Site of the standard of care being undertaken by Converse pursuant hereto and of the limitations of liability contained herein.
Client shall require as a condition to the performance of any such third party a like indemnity and limitation of liability on their part against Converse.
Converse shall hold all information provided to it by Client and the results of the work performed by it confidential and shall not disclose the same to any third party except where required by Governmental regulatory agencies or as otherwise required by law.
Converse shall have the right to bring a legal action in a state or federal court against Client for any sums due or alleged to be due to it or for services rendered. Except for this right, Converse and Client agree that as an express condition to the right of either party to bring a legal action against the other, they shall first submit any dispute to mediation by a neutral person acceptable to both parties.
Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees, costs and other expenses, except that each party shall be responsible and pay for one-half of the costs and expenses of the mediator.
In the event that legal action is required, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its costs incurred in connection therewith including, without limitation, staff time, court costs, attorneys' fees, consultant and expert witness fees and any other related expenses. In this regard, in order to make the prevailing party whole, the parties acknowledge and agree that the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its costs incurred in connection with the legal action and shall not be limited to "reasonable attorneys fees" as defined in any statute or rule of court.
The obligations, responsibilities, warranties and liabilities of the parties shall be solely those expressly set forth herein. Remedies and limitations of liability shall apply regardless of whether an action is brought in contract or is based on either party's negligence, or another theory of law. All of the rights, remedies, obligations, terms, conditions and limitations of liability stated herein shall extend collectively to and be binding upon the parties' partners, joint ventures, licensors, successors, assigns, insurers, and affiliates. Client and Converse agree that any legal action with respect to the services to be performed under these General Conditions shall be brought against the parties, and not against individual officers, employees or former employees of the parties. All legal actions by either party against the other for breach of these General Conditions or for the failure to perform in accordance with the applicable standard of care, however framed, that are essentially based upon such breach or failure shall be barred two (2) years from the time claimant knew or should have known of its right to make a claim, but, in any event, not later than four (4) years from substantial completion of Converse's services.
Jobsite Safety
Converse shall be responsible for its activity and that of its employees on the Site.
This shall not be construed to relieve the Client, its general contractor or any subcontractor of their obligation to maintain a safe jobsite.
Neither the professional activities nor the presence of Converse or its employees and subcontractors shall be understood to control the operations of others, nor shall it be construed to be an acceptance of the responsibility for jobsite safety.
Converse will not direct, supervise or lay out the work of the Client, contractor, or any subcontractors. Converse's services will not include a review or evaluation of the adequacy of the contractor's safety measures on or near the Site.
Unless otherwise specified in the agreement, Converse shall be obligated to perform within a reasonable period of time. Converse shall not be responsible for delays in the completion of its services created by reason of any unforeseeable cause or causes beyond the control and/or without the fault or negligence of Converse, including but not restricted to acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the Government of the United States or of the several states, or any foreign country, or any of them acting in their sovereign capacity, acts of other contractors with Client, fire, floods, epidemics, riots, quarantine restrictions, strikes, civil insurrections, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather.
Should completion of any portion of the services to be rendered by Converse be delayed beyond the estimated date of completion for any reason which is beyond the control of or without default or negligence of Converse, then and in that event Client and Converse shall mutually agree on the terms and conditions upon which the services may be continued or terminated.
Invoices
Converse shall submit monthly progress invoices to Client, and a final bill shall be submitted upon completion of the services. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice, Client shall pay the full amount of the invoice. If Client objects to all or any portion of any invoice, it shall so notify Converse of the same within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of said invoice and shall pay that portion of the invoice not in dispute, and the parties shall immediately make every effort to settle the disputed portion of the invoice.
If Client fails to make payment within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice, then Client shall pay an additional monthly service charge of one and one-half percent (1'Y %) on all such amounts outstanding. The additional charge shall not apply to any disputed portion of any invoice resolved in favor of Client. In the event Client fails to pay any undisputed amount to Converse when due, Converse may immediately cease work until said payment together with a service charge at the rate of 1'% % per month, as specified above, from the due date has been received.
Further, Converse may, at its sole option and discretion, refuse to perform any further work irrespective of payment from Client.
In the event that all or any portion of the 1% % service charge provided for herein is deemed to be an interest charge, then and in that event said interest charge shall be limited to the maximum amount legally allowed by law.
Client acknowledges Converse's fee schedules are revised annually and agrees that the fee schedule in effect at the time the services are performed shall apply to such services.
Converse represents that it now carries, and will continue to carry during the term of the contract to which these General Conditions are a part, Workers Compensation insurance and that, if requested, Converse shall provide to Client certificates as evidence of the aforementioned insurance.
Assignments
Client shall not assign this contract or any portion thereof to any other person or entity without the express written consent of Converse. Nothing contained in this contract or any part thereof shall be construed to create a right in any third party whomsoever, and nothing herein shall inure to the benefit of any third party.

Staff Report
TO: City Council
FROM: Robert Vestal, Assistant Director of Public Works DATE August 15, 2023
SUBJECT: Second Amendment to the Professional Service Agreement with EXP U.S.
Services, Inc.
Description Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement for Engineering Services to EXP U.S. Services, Inc. for the Beaumont Master Drainage Plan (MDP) Line 2, Stage 1 Project (CIP2019-019).
Background and Analysis:
On March 17, 2020, City Council amended the FY19/20 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Budget to include the Beaumont Master Drainage Plan (MDP) Line 2, Stage 1 Project (Stage 1). Stage 1 was incorporated into the CIP in the amount of $5,000,000 with the source of funds being the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District) via a cooperative funding agreement. On September 1, 2020, City Council approved the cooperative agreement and on September 22, 2020, the District fully executed the agreement. On December 15, 2020, City Council awarded a Professional Service Agreement (PSA) to EXP U.S. Services, Inc. (EXP) to perform preliminary and final engineering services.
On November 15, 2022, City Council approved Amendment No. 1 which modified the scope of services to include additional hydraulic analysis and extended the term of agreement to February 16, 2024.
The second amendment to the professional services agreement is proposed to accommodate increases in subconsultant fees and extend the term of agreement by one (1) year with a new termination date of February 16, 2025. No additional services are proposed. EXP and subconsultants submitted a fee rate as part of the original bid response which was good for one year. EXP and subconsultants did not request a change in fee for the first year; however, due to inflation and operating costs, the subconsultants are now requesting the fee to be adjusted.
The following is a summary of the subconsultants requesting fee increases:
Page668of744
Subconsultant
DEA (Survey)
Epic (Utilities and R/W)
Converse (Geotechnical)
Original Fee (2020)
$34,571.00
$45,720.00
$22,255.00
Requested Fee (2023)
$41,962.96 (+21%)
$46,880.00 (+ 3%)
$33,707.00 (+51%)
The proposed increase in fee for all three subconsultants is $20,003.96. The second amendment proposes a new not to exceed amount of $524,064.96 for the PSA. A summary of the allocation of funds for the original agreement and the proposed amendment is provided in the following table.

$442,214.00
$61,847.00
$20,003.96
$524,064.96
Project Background and Update — During preliminary analysis, Berkshire Channel and other downstream facilities were determined to not have enough capacity to safely convey the ultimate design flow. EXP, Riverside County Flood Control, and City staff identified the need to evaluate a possible detention basin to mitigate for downstream limitations. The evaluation took an extended time due to the considerable size needed for a basin site and the limited availability of viable parcels. The preliminary results of the evaluation indicate that the modification to Berkshire Channel and potential downstream facilities may accommodate the design flow. The District tentatively approved the approach and the project is moving forward.
EXP is finalizing the hydrology and hydraulic study with Riverside County Flood Control.
Utility research and field survey have started. Once the Pennsylvania Widening project is completed, EXP's field crew can finish the survey and begin preliminary alignment design. EXP is also researching the potential for CEQA exemption. Final design is anticipated to be completed in July 2024.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost of preparing the staff report is estimated to be $500. The funding for this contract amendment would be paid from the Beaumont Master Drainage Plan (MDP) Line 2, Stage 1 Project (CIP2019-019) budget. Refer to following table for the accounting summary.

COVER LETTER
June 1, 2023
City of Beaumont
c/o Grace Wichert
550 E. 6th Street
Beaumont, CA 92223
Dear Ms. Wichert:
RPPG
Renne*Wile F> cy Group*
On behalf of Renne Public Law Group [DBA: Renne Public Policy Group (RPPG)], we are pleased to submit our proposal for State Lobbying Services to the City of Beaumont. is a full -service state lobbying and consulting practice that advocates for the best interest of public entities and those organizations who align with public entities. We do so effectively and efficiently, without compromising on ethics or integrity. RPPG is a division of , founded by Louise Renne, the City of San Francisco's elected City Attorney for 16 years.
RPPG provides our clients with a keen understanding of California's evolving legislative and political landscape, which is critical when making policy, legal and operational decisions. Our approach is grounded in Louise's reputation for uncompromising ethics, excellence, innovation, and advocacy for local government.
The halls of California's Capitol are a constant whirl of activity as legislators, staff, and lobbyists for a multitude of interest groups engage in crafting laws and the state budget. In this fast -paced environment, opportunities and threats to local agencies can quickly emerge. Given this context, RPPG recognizes that advocating for the interests of our clients requires policy expertise, active engagement, and mufti -pronged actions which includes monitoring pending legislation, developing legislative proposals, negotiating amendments, seeking applicable grant opportunities and —when necessary —conducting a coordinated public affairs campaign. These tactics form the foundation for an effective legislative and grants advocacy strategy. Since the inception of RPPG, we have taken an innovative approach that differs from how other firms represent their clients. RPPG is a fairly young practice. This has enabled us to do things differently: to be proactive, creative, and nimble, and to build a culture of like-minded, highly motivated professionals from diverse backgrounds —where clients feel valued.
Since the COVID-19 global pandemic the way that legislative advocates must engage to effectively represent their clients has fundamentally shifted. Simply put, clients must adapt to ensure their interests are protected. They cannot rely on an old playbook to yield positive results. This is why we feel it is so important that the City of Beaumont partners with a firm that can provide a uniquely tailored wraparound service approach with its strengths rooted in political and process expertise, as well as a true passion for City of Beaumont/Proposal for Lobbying

local government. As you will see in this proposal, all of us at RPPG have devoted our careers to supporting local government and their partners —in a shared goal of improving communities across Califomia.
As outlined in this proposal, our advocacy approach recognizes California's evolving political and operational landscape, shifting policies, and volatile fiscal environment to best position our clients for successful outcomes. We appreciate that the City of Beaumont is unique, and we look forward to offering a tailored service to meet the City's needs. RPPG has a clear understanding of the scope of services the City has included with the request for proposal, and we propose to work closely with the City to devise a comprehensive strategy that advances your legislative priorities, and we would be honored to work with the City to help advance your policy goals.
Sharon Gonsalves, RPPG's Director of Government Affairs will act as the Project Manager and primary contact for this proposal. She is located at 112711th Street, Suite 300, Sacramento, CA and can be reached at (916) 849-5536 or at [email protected]. As the founding partner of our firm, Jon Holtzman has the authority to negotiate on behalf of and bind the firm in an agreement. Jon may be reached at (415) 848-7200 and is located at 350 Sansome Street, Suite 300, San Francisco, CA.

APPROACH
The RPPG Approach
At RPPG we strive to be a necessity for our clients, not a luxury. This means finding ways to show true return on investment. However, 'value' itself is dependent on the individual needs of the client.
Whether it be advancing a beneficial state policy, stopping a piece of detrimental legislation, advocating for increased General Fund or grant dollars —or by providing detailed policy and political information that informs the client. Whatever the need, we pride ourselves on creating a custom approach to each client that we have the honor of representing. We work incredibly hard for our clients because each client that partners with RPPG has placed their trust in us —not just to represent their interest in Sacramento, but to be a trusted messenger of their brand and story.
Our motto is we do the work, and we take nothing for granted. While that may sound oversimplistic, in our experience there are a lot of firms that simply rely on their "relationships" to advance their clients' interests. While relationships are critical (as detailed below), legislative advocacy is a field that rewards persistence and hard work.
Our job at RPPG is to work with the City to advance policies and seek funding to help address these and other challenges the City may face. With an established presence, proactive strategy, and a detail - oriented approach, RPPG can advance and consult on legislation of importance to address the challenges the City faces.
Coalition building is also vital. We will ensure your interests are represented by forming alliances with like-minded interest groups as needed, including other sanitation districts, special districts, local City of Beaumont/Proposal for State Lobbying

governments, and important stakeholders. We also will utilize our close working relationships with a variety of local government organizations, business groups, and labor unions to help the City meet its legislative needs and further its interests.
Work Plan
While relationships are critical, politics is an environment that rewards tenacity and hard work. As we have seen in 2020 and beyond, policy proposals can move rapidly, often with little notice or transparency. The RPPG team's decades of experience provides a unique understanding of the political process. We stay in close contact with state lawmakers, Capitol consultants and legislative staff, are always watching for new amendments and monitoring the actions of other stakeholders, legislators, and administration officials —so we know what is coming before it surfaces publicly. Staying active, nimble, and persistent allows our team to successfully advocate for our client's interests during this trying time.
RPPG is a "boots -on -the -ground" lobbying firm. We spend significant time meeting with decision - makers, educating legislators about our client's needs and interests. We also have significant experience navigating the Appropriation and Budget process and making direct contact with key Legislators and their staff.
By maintaining regular contact with the City, staff will have real-time accounts of what is happening in Sacramento. We will ensure the City's interests are represented by forming coalitions with like-minded interest groups such as other local governments and stakeholders as needed. We also will utilize our close working relationships with a variety of business groups, environmental groups, and labor — both public employee and private sector unions — to help the City meet its legislative needs and further its interests.

FIRM ACCOMPLISHMENTS
RPPG
;:ea ta PO:to Fzthey Grote
CLIENT: City of Bakersfield
(Demonstrated Skills: Executive Branch Advocacy and Relationship Building) Strategic Relationship Buildingj2021-2022 Legislative Session): One key aspect to advocacy is to elevate the voice of your agency with those responsible for making laws and enforcing laws. In their first year represented by a legislative advocate, the City of Bakersfield took a very aggressive approach to building relationships and developing a presence in Sacramento. Over the past year and a half, RPPG scheduled and joined the Mayor and City Manager for direct meetings with:
• Senior Counselor to the Governor
• Governor's Deputy Cabinet Secretary for Finance
• Governor's Deputy Cabinet Secretary for Transportation, Housing and Homelessness • Governor's Director of External Affairs
• Governor's Infrastructure Advisor
• Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development • Attorney General
• Secretary of the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency • Secretary of Health and Human Services
• Secretary of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation • Director of the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission • Director of the High -Speed Rail Authority
• State Treasurer
• Deputy Director of the California Department of Transportation • Director of Local Assistance at the Department of Parks and Recreation Client: City of Carlsbad
(Demonstrated Skills: Developing Sponsored Legislation, Legislative and Executive Advocacy, and Coalition Building)
AB 1672 (Boerner) Lifeguards (2021-2022 Legislative Session): The City of Carlsbad was experiencing a shortage of lifeguards at their city operated swimming pools as it reopened to the public from the COVID-19 pandemic. Being a coastal community, they wanted to use beach lifeguards who are also city employees to fill in the vacancy at the recreational swimming pools. Unfortunately, they were unable to do so because in California, pool lifeguards must be certified through a training program managed by the American Red Cross or YMCA of the U.S.A., whereas ocean lifeguards can officially ascend their watch towers after undergoing United States Lifesaving Assn. training.
On behalf of the City of Carlsbad, RPPG sponsored Assemblymember Boerner Horvath's bill, AB 1672, which City of • for Lobbying
n j1 +;
�., •
would allow ocean lifeguards, who undergo highly rigorous training to work at public pools during off- seasons — a period when recreation agencies are often short of lifeguards. RPPG drafted the proposed legislation, working directly with the client to ensure that the language addressed their needs.
Furthermore, RPPG developed the talking points, fact sheet, and other support materials, and worked with the opposition to address concerns. The bill was signed by Governor Newsom on September 13, 2022 [Chapter 273, Statutes of 2022].
CLIENT: City of Corona
(Skills: Strategic Document Creation, Council Relations, Stopping Detrimental Legislation) AB 1778 Garcia and AB 2237 [Friedman) Transr:ortation ,alannj; and fundin;- !2021-2022 LeFisiative Session): In 2022, a number of bills sought to tie transportation funding to improved air quality and a reduction in vehicle miles traveled. On behalf of the City of Corona, working collaboratively with the Western Riverside Council of Governments, RPPG met with the City's local delegation and members and staff of the Senate Transportation Committee to educate lawmakers on the unintentional harm that would be done to communities should such bills pass. The traffic in and out of the City of Corona is ranked one of the worst commutes in the nation, as many residents must travel to Los Angeles or Orange County. Both bills were ultimately held in the Senate Transportation Committee and did not advance.
Cite Education and Lef;islative Dele}ation Meetings (2021-2022 Legislative Session): Providing opportunities to educate your lawmakers directly is a critical aspect of a successful legislative advocacy strategy. Part of the RPPG "wraparound" service approach involves working directly with City staff and the City Council to develop policy -specific messaging documents that enable the City to tell its story.
With respect to the City of Corona, our team conducted an extensive fact-finding meeting with the City's community development team and conducted a Council Study Session. RPPG then created a core messaging document on housing and the Regional Housing Needs Assessment process. That document became the foundation for our educational "tour" with the City's legislative delegation.
We arranged meetings directly with each legislator (via Zoom) and provided city -specific information regarding the overall sixth -cycle RHNA process and how legislation advancing this year would impact the City's ability to meet its allocations. That core messaging document was also used as a leave -behind document for the City's lawmakers to utilize as a reference, for further discussions and committee hearings.

Renne Public Pe;c j r, -e,:
Prior to joining RPPG, Sharon was a Senior Associate at Townsend Public Affairs representing a number of local public agency clients —specializing in those from severely disadvantaged regions of California. In that position, Sharon worked on behalf of her most disadvantaged clients to secure the passage of SB 200, the Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund (Monning, 2019) which requires the annual transfer of 5 percent of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) into the Fund until June 30, 2030. She enhanced her clients efforts by working with congressional and Federal agency officials on behalf of the Merced County Association of Governments and the Fresno Council of Governments, advocating for increased infrastructure funding.
On behalf of the City of Turlock, Sharon lobbied the Administration, Legislature and state and federal agencies on the North Valley Regional Recycled Water Project (NVRRWP) and the Stanislaus Regional Water Authority (SRWA). Her efforts included coordinating multiple advocacy trips to meet with key members of the Administration's cabinet, members of both legislative houses, committee staff, and members of the water board to increase support and discuss funding opportunities. As a result, she was able to secure $4.3 Million from the Bureau of Reclamation for the NVRRWP and $30 million for SRWA through Proposition 68 in 2018.
She has been able to leverage her relationships within the California Legislature to secure California State Budget earmarks —providing local fire districts and police departments much needed funding for those communities. Sharon helped secure millions of dollars for critical infrastructure and public safety improvements including $500,000 for the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) to build a firefighting training facility.
Prior to her career as a lobbyist, Sharon spent nearly a decade working in both houses of the State Legislature and as a result has a unique understanding and experience in navigating the State's complex budget process. Having worked for multiple moderate legislators Sharon has a strong understanding of bi- partisan politics.
Sharon served as Legislative Director for State Senator Anthony Cannella (Senate District 12). Senator Cannella served as Vice Chair of the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee and the Natural Resources Committee. During Senator Cannella's tenure, Sharon was instrumental in negotiating on major statewide environmental and transportation issues important to the District, including Proposition 1, the water bond of 2014 and during her time as a legislative staffer, Sharon developed and maintained an extensive bi-partisan network of relationships with members of the California Legislature. Prior to the adoption of the Sustainable Ground Water Management Act (SGMA) in 2014, she successfully staffed Senator Cannella and defeated several punitive efforts to regulate groundwater.
Sharon has utilized the relationships she has built over the years in her work advocating for local governments. Under Governor Newsom's administration she works frequently with key policy advisors several agencies including the Natural Resources Agency, Governor's Office of Business and Economic 50 City

Alyssa Silhi — Director of Government Affairs
Alyssa Silhi, a registered lobbyist with the State of California, is proposed to serve as a legislative advocate and secondary contact for the City of Beaumont. In this capacity, Alyssa will work in collaboration with the Project Manager to represent the City in meetings with the State Legislature, state agencies, applicable boards and commissions, and the Governor's office. Alyssa will also review and track legislation, provide analysis, and leverage her close working relationships with legislative members, staff, policy consultants and agency officials to advance the City's legislative priorities.
APPLICABLE EXPERIENCE: AT A GLANCE
• Over 15 years of Governmental Affairs and Public Relations Experience • Former Legislative Representative, California Special Districts Association • Strong Policy Background in Local Government Issues
• Proven Relationship, Key Partnership, and Coalition Builder • Demonstrated Ability in Navigating the State Budget Process • B.A. In both English and Communications, UC Davis
More About Alyssa:
For over 15 years, Alyssa Silhi has been advancing statewide policies for the public good, from healthcare and K-12 education to public health, public safety, and local government. She is a proven strategist with a reputation for balancing tenacity and effectiveness with strong ethics and skillful communication to get the job done. As an experienced Councilmember and special district Board member, Alyssa brings a unique understanding of the nuance of local agency operations to advocating for issues important to local government.
Prior to joining the Renne Public Policy Group, Alyssa was a Legislative Representative for the California Special District's Association (CSDA). In that capacity, she was the lead advocate and strategist on policy and fiscal proposals relating to the environment — including climate adaptation and resiliency, wildfire mitigation and preparedness, CEQA, water and wastewater, energy/utilities, transportation — as well as emergency response and disaster preparedness and relief, and public works and public contracting.
While there, she formed strong working relationships with key administrative appointees and staff within divisions of the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA), State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CaIOES), and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) as well as within the Department of Finance (DOF), legislative budget committees, and key legislative offices.
On behalf of special districts, Alyssa worked closely with CSDA's federal policy liaison to create a nationwide coalition to lobby congress for access to COVID-19 relief funding. That effort led to federal 11 City of State Lobbying

language that specifically allowed states to share their funding with special districts. Alyssa used that federal authority to advocate for access to COVID-19 relief funding at the state level and spearheaded the effort that successfully obtained precedential direct state funding relief specifically for special districts impacted by COVID-19 response by securing a $100 million General Fund allocation backed by a bi-partisan and bicameral coalition of 46 legislators. She played a critical role within the local government coalition that secured $1 billion in COVID-19 funding for water and wastewater arrearages and just under $300 million in direct arrearage funding for publicly owned utilities.
After special districts were overlooked in initial Public Safety Planned Power Outage (PSPS) funding, Alyssa worked with CaIOES, DOF, and legislative budget leaders to secure $20 million in competitive grant funds through the state budget process for special districts with critical infrastructure to prepare for the consistent delivery of services during a PSPS event. Alyssa also successfully fought to protect the special district exemption in the Surplus Land Act, navigating strong legislative pressures and initial guidelines from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) that would have usurped their local authority.
While at CSDA, Alyssa worked hand in hand with her counterparts at the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA), the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA), and the California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA) to advance priority legislation or stop bad bills on policies of import to water and wastewater agencies. She worked with a large coalition of partners and stakeholders to successfully:
• Stop AB 377 (Rivas) Water quality: impaired waters that would have required all of the state's waters to be swimmable, drinkable, and fishable by 2050 and would have effectively dismantled the current storm water permitting process in California, • Halt the premature adoption of new water conservation goals as outlined in AB 1434 (Friedman) Urban water use objectives: indoor residential water use until stakeholder feedback and concerns were given proper voice,
• Support CASA in passing AB 818 (Bloom) solid waste: premoistened nonwoven disposable wipes, requiring harmful pipe -clogging wipes to be labeled as non-flushable.
Most recently she coordinated with ACWA and CASA to initiate conversations with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and State Legislature to begin to educate them on the ambiguity and potential impacts of the Kaanaana v. Barrett Business Services, Inc. Supreme Court ruling holding that belt sorting qualified as "public works" per Cal. Labor Code 1720, subd.(a)(2), reasoning the reference to special districts was different than the language relating to other agencies engaged in "public works' and calling upon the California Legislature to provide clarification for the intent behind the division in classification.
Alyssa's prior experience in governmental affairs includes working for several highly esteemed Sacramento contract lobbying and consulting firms and as policy staff for a prominent public health City of

non-profit research and advocacy organization. In these positions, she worked on issues important to quality of life in communities, including K-12 education; public health policy with a direct nexus to nutrition, transportation, the built environment, and land use; public safety; small business issues and healthcare. She has wide-ranging experience advocating for policy change within the legislature, administration, and before state agencies and commissions, providing in depth analysis, navigating the budget process, leading statewide grassroots campaigns, building coalitions, interfacing with local electeds, as well as producing internal and external strategic communications for publication and advocacy purposes.

Renne Public Policy Niuef
With a proven track record of bringing millions of state and federal dollars for local public agencies, Jake first discovered his passion for grant writing while assisting a colleague with an emergency shelter grant on a tight deadline.
