R+A provides the qualifications and capability to perform the services sought by this RFP. Through a combination of evidence - based research and expertise, deep stakeholder engagement, and a focus on inclusion and diversity, R+A will assist the City in preparing a CEQA-qualified Climate Action Plan.
The updated CAP will reflect the City's climate progress and incorporate new relevant City policies including those from the General Plan update, offer revised strategies and incorporate a vulnerability assessment. Throughout this planning effort, it is essential to develop and implement strategies to engage the City's diverse community of stakeholders, including homeowners, residents, business owners, architects, and city staff.
This can be done through a range of outreach techniques including interviews, surveys, working groups, roundtables, and community workshops.
Raimi + Associates
Raimi + Associates (R+A) will serve as the project lead, ensuring that all subconsultants and tasks are moving in lockstep and meet the high standards and requirements of the City.
R+A will lead the preparation of the CAP, technical analysis, and lead the community engagement process.

David J. Powers & Associates
David J. Powers & Associates, Inc. (DJP&A) is known for preparing clear, easy to understand documents that are legally defensible and informative to both the lead agency and public. DJP&A has a proven track record of delivering projects in a timely and cost- effective manner. We have over 50 years of experience preparing environmental review documents, including unparalleled experience assisting Cities with program -level evaluations of City -initiated planning efforts. As an example, DJP&A prepared the Santa Clara 2022 Climate Action Plan Addendum, San Jose 2030 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy Addendum, 2021 Envision San Jose 2040 General Plan 4 -year Review EIR Addendum, Mountain View East Whisman Precise Plan EIR, and the San Jose 2018 Downtown Strategy 2040 EIR.
Project Approach
The key components of the Raimi + Associates team's approach are:
• Clear articulation of the context and users for the plan • Thorough background research on existing studies and resources • Ongoing collaboration with City staff
• Integration of equity issues and concerns from the beginning of the process • Authentic stakeholder engagement
• Technical analysis, modeling, and applied research to inform policy and program interventions
• Identification of emerging issues and innovations
• Emphasis on co- and multi -benefit strategies
• Creating a clear pathway for implementation
• User -informed design for the plan and communications materials Our CAP philosophy centers on what we call "next -generation" climate action plans. First generation plans were focused on capturing all possible greenhouse gas emissions reductions and listed hundreds of recommended actions. Emissions reduction targets and raimi + associates 4
Climate Action Plan Update Proposal
City of Beaumont
thresholds were locally determined, varied greatly across jurisdictions, and CAPs featured long lists of GHG reduction measures.
Second generation climate action climate action plans are focused on the measures that have the greatest impact on GHG reduction and are within cities' ability to implement.
With the adoption of State GHG targets through SB 32, electricity emissions reduction requirements through SB 100, and guidance on long-term policy direction through the California Scoping Plan and EO-B-55-18 (carbon neutrality by 2045). Most cities now align their emissions targets with State policy to create more consistency among local governments and to benefit from the CEQA tiering benefits of a Qualified Plan. Rather than identifying several hundred climate measures or actions, second generation climate action plans focus on 4-5 sectors of GHG emissions (energy supply, building energy use, mobility, resource management, and natural systems) with 5-10 measures per sector.
Detailed actions are then outlined in an implementation plan that includes tracking, monitoring, and reporting. This focused approach allows the City to target the most effective policy, program development, and implementation actions and to identify the sources of funding and finance needed to realize the plan objectives.
R+A uses standard project management tools to ensure that project tasks and deliverables are completed on time and within budget. These include maintaining an up- to-date schedule of tasks, deliverables, and key meetings that is reviewed weekly. We use Ajera accounting and time management software to track expenditures and staff time allocations. These tools, combined with frequent communication with City staff, enable us to track expenditures, manage staff time to ensure that tasks and the overall project stay within budget, and that sufficient staff resources are available to complete deliverables.
R+A has internal quality control systems to review technical analysis, narrative, and graphics to ensure high quality and accuracy for the services delivered. Materials are reviewed by the Project Manager before sending to clients. Client approval is required before any documents are released to the public in digital and/or printed formats.
We will establish a designated point of contact at R+A, typically the Project Manager, to communicate issues and/or questions and to coordinate tasks between the R+A team staff members. This approach has been effective in previous projects in providing a high level of responsiveness to City Staff. We use Teams for internal and external meetings with staff including those working remotely.
Given the breadth of expertise that our team can provide, we are able to take a flexible and creative approach to performing the services outlined in the Scope of Work. raimi + associates 5

TASK 3. Technical Analysis
Task 3.1 : Greenhouse Gas Inventory
Building on the 2018 greenhouse gas inventory prepared by R+A as part of the General Plan Update, we will prepare a community -wide greenhouse gas inventory for all sectors, including on -road transportation, building energy use, solid waste, off -road transportation, and water and wastewater (including the Wastewater Treatment Plan).
R+A will develop the emissions inventory the most recent year for which emissions activity data is available and consistent with the General Plan, likely 2021 or 2022. R+A will use methods consistent with current best practices, including the U.S. Community Protocol for Accounting and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, the Global Protocol for Community -Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories, the Local Government Operations Protocol, consistent with the City's existing inventories.
As part of the inventory, R+A will develop greenhouse gas emissions forecasts for the key regulatory years of 2030, 2040, 2045, and 2050. Greenhouse gas reduction targets will align with state goals as expressed in AB 32, SB 32, and Executive Order B-30-15, consistent with General Plan Goal 8.3.
R+A will compile results and methodologies into a draft GHG emissions inventory report.
Following review by the City, R+A will complete a final GHG Inventory Report. • Deliverables: Admin Draft and Final GHG Inventory
Task 3.2: Greenhouse Gas Reduction Analysis
As part of this effort, R+A will build on the City's existing CAP greenhouse gas reduction measures testing specific programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from direct emissions. As a first step, we will consolidate existing reduction measures into a single matrix, organized by reduction sector. The matrix will help us understand the existing reduction measures, identify new measures to incorporate into the CAP, and identify an initial level of implementation for each program (voluntary versus mandatory, timeline for implementation, etc.) in the reduction analysis. Once completed, we will facilitate a discussion with the appropriate City departments and staff to review / refine the matrix.
Using our internally developed Emissions Reduction Intensity Calculator, R+A will assess a range of measures, including carbon -free energy, decarbonized buildings, zero waste, fossil -fuel free transportation, and carbon sequestration.
Proven strategies for greenhouse gas emissions elimination will come from many sources, including the Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance, C40 CURB tool, and the Carbon -Free City Handbook, as well as our experiences developing CAPs designed to achieve deep greenhouse gas reductions. We will consider programs and policies that are both wholly raimi + associates 16

within the City and those that are subregional in nature (consistent with the WRCOG CAP), and that would require collaboration with other jurisdictions and regional organizations.
R+A will estimate the greenhouse gas reductions associated with the implementation of each measure and assess the ability of the CAP to achieve the City's reduction targets.
R+A will also identify potential co -benefits such as the impact on air quality, water quality, public health, economic development, employment opportunities, reduced urban heat island, and improved pedestrian and cyclist safety.

Engagement Materials Prepared by Raimi + Associates for the WRCOG CAP / CAPTIVATE Project Task 3.3: Climate Vulnerability Assessment
To meet the requirements of SB 379, R+A will review and refine the Resilient IE climate vulnerability assessment to support development of climate adaptation policies and actions. This will incorporate some of the findings in the City's LHMP and scale them down to Beaumont and surrounding areas.
Based on initial analysis in the Resilient IE, R+A will briefly summarize historical and projected trends for temperature, precipitation, extreme heat, drought, flooding, wildfire, and air quality, among other climate hazards. Reporting will include: a short narrative description of the climate hazard; historical trends of the hazard; and projected trends of the hazard. These climate hazard descriptions will be supported by a variety of maps, charts, and other data, drawing on existing and on -going work conducted for the LHMP, as well as data compiled from CalAdapt, California's 4th Climate Change Assessment, and raimi + associates
17
Climate Action Plan Update Proposal
City of Beaumont
other sources as needed. Where the data is available, projected trend hazard data will include a mid-century and an end -of -century scenario.
After finalizing the climate hazard
reporting, R+A will review and refine the
vulnerability assessment to identify the
populations and community assets that
are vulnerable to the potential impacts of
climate change. The vulnerability analysis
will seek to uncover a broad range of
direct and indirect climate impacts across
key sectors, including infrastructure,
buildings, natural systems, economic
assets, and populations. The analysis will
identify key sectors and their assets
exposed to climate hazards, assess the
sensitivity and adaptive capacity of each
sector, and evaluate the vulnerability of Santa Monica Vulnerability Assessment Prepared byR+A each. This analysis will help Beaumont
begin to define and prioritize adaptation policies and actions consistent with the requirements of SB 379.

Climate Hazard Exposure Mapping by Raimi + Associates for the Kaua'i Climate Action Plan raimi + associates 3.8
Climate Action Plan Update Proposal
City of Beaumont
Since the public health impacts from climate change vary across different neighborhoods and among individuals as generally identified in Resilient IE, Beaumont needs tools to identify areas with the highest exposure to climate impacts and the groups most likely to be affected by climate change. R+A will use our quantitative, data -driven methodology to evaluate the populations vulnerable to climate change within the city. Using locally relevant social -economic, demographic, and neighborhood data, we will classify vulnerability across neighborhoods (Census tract or block group scale) and use these analyses to develop an index for social vulnerability. This analysis is modular, rooted in our SB 1000 analysis and refined to key issues in Beaumont. The result will be a map which will be overlaid with climate exposure. This analysis will identify geographic areas within the city with higher levels of vulnerability.
• Deliverables: Admin Draft and Final Climate Vulnerability Assessment Memo Task 4: Wastewater Treatment Plan Analysis
Building on the expertise of City's Wastewater Treatment Plant staff, R+A proposes the following process and overlapping tasks to complete the analysis and then develop more specific action steps for the treatment plant.
Task 4.1: Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Building on the communitywide greenhouse gas inventory in Task 3.1, R+A will evaluate greenhouse gas emissions from the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant. Using inputs from the Wastewater Treatment Plant related to digestor gas, CH4, and nitrifications, we will use the Local Government Operations Protocol to estimate emissions from the facility.
This analysis will build on our experience conducting similar analysis or cities, such as Santa Clara and South San Francisco and may be included within the communitywide inventory at the discretion of the City.
Task 4.2: Climate Vulnerability Assessment
Using Resilient IE and the Beaumont climate vulnerability assessment as the starting point, R+A will work with Wastewater Treatment Plant staff to more specifically define the key vulnerabilities for the Wastewater Treatment Plant for both facilities and operation. Our approach would be to convene up to three (2-4 hour meetings) to undercover vulnerabilities, understand existing actions, and define and prioritize future action.
Centering the expertise is the approach we successfully implemented with the City of Santa Monica on their vulnerability assessment. Steps are as follows. • Step 1: Review exposures, sensitivities, and adaptive capacity. Working with staff, we will establish pathways by which climate change will impact facilities and operations, estimate the sensitivities of those assets and operations to adjust to raimi + associates
19
Climate Action Plan Update Proposal
City of Beaumont
change, review opportunities for those assets and operations to change. Assume 4 hour working session.
• Step 2: Review ranking of vulnerabilities (developed in Step 1) and define initial actions associated with critical vulnerabilities. Assume 3 hour working session. • Step 3: Prioritize actions and define next steps. Assume 2 hour working session.
R+A will provide background information and facilitate discussion with Wastewater Treatment Staff. City staff will be encouraged to include Treatment Plant staff, Public Works staff, and consultants working with them on facilities planning and upgrades.
Task 4.3: Wastewater Treatment Plant Action Plan
R+A will provide a brief write-up of the emission reduction and adaptation actions as defined in Task 4.1 and 4.2. This action plan can be included as part of the CAP, or as a separate appendix. The write-up will include both steps already being taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to make the facility and operations more resilient to climate change and new steps over time.
• Deliverables: Admin Draft and Final Action Plan, includes inventory, vulnerability assessment, and action plan.
Task 5: Climate Action Plan Preparation
Task 5.1: Climate Action Plan Preparation
Building on the greenhouse gas inventory, community engagement, greenhouse gas reduction analysis, and vulnerability assessment, R+A will prepare the CAP for the City.
R+A will work with City staff to ensure the CAP is usable and accessible by all.
The Climate Action Plan should strike a balance between being a technical document that is used on a day-to-day basis by City staff and elected and appointed officials to guide decision -making, and a visionary document used by the general public to understand the long-term vision and direction of Beaumont.
As determined in the scoping, the Climate Action Plan may include, but is not limited to:
• The vision for climate action.
• Quantitative goals and tracking metrics.
• Recent accomplishments and implementation actions related to climate and sustainability efforts.
• Connections from the Climate Action Plan to broader City implementation plans and policy goals in the General Plan, Downtown Revitalization Plan, Parking Management Plan, and more.
• Action plans for clean energy, buildings, transportation and land use, resource use, sequestration, and municipal actions.
raimi + associates

Climate Action Plan Update Proposal
City of Beaumont
R+A will prepare three versions of the Climate Action Plan, including an Administrative Draft CAP, Public Draft CAP, and post -adoption, Final CAP. The City should review each version of the CAP and provide one consolidated set of comments on each draft.
During the public review process, R+A will create a matrix to track public comments and recommended changes to theCAP. R+A will work collaboratively with City staff to finalized changes to the CAP.
Task 6: Environmental Analysis
Task 6.1 Complete CEQA Review
The Climate Action Plan would qualify as a project under the CEQA, requiring environmental review. Based on our understanding of the project and experience on similar projects, we believe the appropriate level of CEQA review for this project would be an Initial Study resulting in an Addendum to the 2040 General Plan EIR. DJP&A will prepare an Initial Study consistent with the requirements of CEQA and the City of Beaumont. The Initial Study/Addendum will include a cover sheet, table of contents, preface/introduction, a description of the project, brief overview of the environmental setting, discussion of consistency with applicable plans and policies, and discussion of the environmental impacts of the project based on the CEQA Appendix G Checklist.
Once the project description is finalized, DJP&A will prepare the Administrative Draft Initial Study (ADIS). Upon completion of the ADIS, DJP&A will submit an electronic copy of the document to the City for review and comment. DJP&A will then revise the ADIS based on comments received from the City and submit an electronic copy of the document to the City for final review and comment.

c. Method Of Sharing
If all of the other insurance permits contribution
by equal shares, we will follow this method also.
Under this approach each insurer contributes
equal amounts until it has paid its applicable
limit of insurance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
If any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will contribute
by limits. Under this method, each insurer's
share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit
of insurance to the total applicable limits of
insurance of all insurers.
Primary And Non -Contributory Insurance If
Required By Written Contract
If you specifically agree in a written contract or
agreement that the insurance afforded to an
insured under this Coverage Part must apply on
a primary basis, or a primary and non-
contributory basis, this insurance is primary to
other insurance that is available to such insured
which covers such insured as a named insured,
and we will not share with that other insurance,
provided that
(1) The "bodily injury' or "property damage" for
which coverage is sought occurs; and
(2) The "personal and advertising injury" for
which coverage is sought is caused by an
offense that is committed;
subsequent to the signing of that contract or
agreement by you.
5. Premium Audit
a. We will compute all premiums for this Coverage
Part in accordance with our rules and rates.
b. Premium shown in this Coverage Part as
advance premium is a deposit premium only. At
the close of each audit period we will compute
the earned premium for that period and send
notice to the first Named Insured. The due date
for audit and retrospective premiums is the date
shown as the due date on the bill. If the sum of
the advance and audit premiums paid for the
policy period is greater than the earned
premium, we will return the excess to the first
Named Insured.
c. The first Named Insured must keep records of
the information we need for premium
computation, and send us copies at such times
as we may request.
6. Representations
By accepting this policy, you agree:
d.
a. The statements in the Declarations are
accurate and complete;
b. Those statements are based upon
representations you made to us; and
c. We have issued this policy in reliance upon
your representations.
The unintentional omission of, or unintentional en -or
in, any information provided by you which we relied
upon in issuing this policy will not prejudice your
rights under this insurance. However, this provision
does not affect our right to collect additional
premium or to exercise our rights of cancellation or
nonrenewal in accordance with applicable insurance
laws or regulations.
Separation Of Insureds
Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance, and
any rights or duties specifically assigned in this
Coverage Part to the first Named Insured, this
insurance applies:
a. As if each Named Insured were the only
Named Insured; and
b. Separately to each insured against whom claim
is made or "suit" is brought.
8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others
To Us
If the insured has rights to recover all or part of any payment we have made under this Coverage Part,
those rights are transferred to us. The insured must
do nothing after loss to impair them. At our request,
the insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights
to us and help us enforce them.
9. When We Do Not Renew
If we decide not to renew this Coverage Part, we will
mail or deliver to the first Named Insured shown in
the Declarations written notice of the nonrenewal
not less than 30 days before the expiration date.
If notice is mailed, proof of mailing will be sufficient proof of notice.

Subject: Proposal for On -Call Environmental Planning Services for the City of Beaumont
Dear Ms. Wichert and Selection Committee Members:
MIG, Inc., is pleased to submit our proposal and qualifications to the City of Beaumont (City) to provide on -call California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance services. MIG has a 40 -year track record of working interactively with our public and private clients, becoming an extension of their staff.
Our environmental team has prepared and reviewed hundreds of CEQA documents and associated technical studies. MIG offers a full range of environmental services that are provided by seasoned CEQA practitioners and technical subject matter experts. Our highly capable environmental professionals and subconsultants have analyzed all manner of environmental projects throughout California and the County of Riverside. Our environmental staff also performs mitigation monitoring, field monitoring, and related services.
From our local office in Riverside, our environmental staff are accessible and can quickly respond to the consulting needs of the City. Director of Environmental Services Bob Prasse has extensive experience with all types of environmental projects, including industrial parks and warehouses, large-scale mixed -use developments, General Plans, Specific Plans, "big box" commercial centers, and transit -oriented development along the Metro Gold Line. He also has considerable experience in providing third -party peer review services for environmental documents.
Our proposal has been organized in accordance with the requirements of the Request for Proposal (RFP). We look forward to helping the City of Beaumont ensure that the environmental impacts of projects are thoroughly and cost-effectively addressed in a manner tailored specifically to the City's vision and standards.
As Principal -in -Charge, I am authorized to represent MIG, negotiate on its behalf, and bind MIG to all commitments made in our proposal. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Bob Prasse or me at 951-787-9222, or email us at Jprasse migcom.com or [email protected].

Introduction / Information
Statement of Understanding
MIG understands the City of Beaumont is
seeking a qualified consultant to provide
on -call environmental planning services to
support City staff in relation to CEQA, including
preparation of an array of environmental
documents, assistance with the consultation
process, and coordination with City staff
during the CEQA public review process. We
understand the City has expanded substantially
over the last several years, and that future
development projects will require the
preparation of CEQA documents.
Our approach focuses on practical problem -
solving, recognizing that while CEQA
documents largely serve a public disclosure
purpose, they can also work to make projects
better and improve environmental conditions.
MIG achieves the objectives of its on -call
environmental services work by adhering to the
following three principles:
» First, the methodology and content are
consistent with the most current CEQA
statutes, guidelines, and case law;
» Second, mitigation recommendations are
realistic and feasible; and
Third, findings are effectively presented
through clear and concise writing, informative
graphic design, and skillful oral presentation.
These principles result in legally sound CEQA
documents that fully and clearly inform the
public, decision -makers, and interested
agencies.

Approach
Project Approach
MIG has successfully initiated, organized, and
managed a diverse array of planning and
environmental projects in Riverside County,
as well as many CEQA and NEPA documents
for Southern California cities and jurisdictions
throughout the entire state. Our staff has
a long and successful record working on
complex planning and environmental projects,
including tasks through on -call contracts
and third -party peer review of all types of
environmental documents. We understand the
unique project and staffing needs required
of on -call contracts, necessitating proactive
management, quickly formulating project
teams, and aligning expectations between the
client and the consultant.
Our experienced staff is capable of acting
as an extension of the Beaumont Planning
Department. We can coordinate project
and CEQA review, including the applicable
noticing and submittal requirements for
public disclosure and processes through
the State Clearinghouse and/or County.
Our staff is also experienced in making
presentations to Commissions, City Councils,
and community groups. Finally, our staff has
experience assisting with the SB 18 and AB
52 Native American consultation process. As
a multidisciplinary firm, our array of services
benefits clients; we can seamlessly integrate
our areas of expertise to support the specific
characteristics and unique environmental
challenges of each project.
Meeting On -Call Project Needs
MIG utilizes integrated project management
and accounting software to ensure that our
projects are completed on time and within
budget. We will work with City staff to expedite
the process of acquiring and managing new
assignments, thus ensuring project delivery,
quality control, and quality assurance, as well
as full capability and flexibility to provide the
appropriate services when needed.
Staff Availability
With over 260 people on staff, MIG is able to
advance multiple assignments simultaneously.
We have the personnel and resources to
accommodate new projects and to respond
to unexpected assignments. Our project
teams are assembled based on staff expertise
and capacity. The MIG staff assigned to any
project that may come from this on -call will
be committed for the duration of the project
and their current workload will not impact
their availability to successfully complete
the assignment. All our projects and staff
capacity are monitored and scheduled in
coordination with existing project workloads.
Weekly in-house firm -wide Management
Team meetings ensure a high level of
communication among project leaders and the
efficient allocation of personnel and other firm
resources. Additional meetings are held with
internal staff that frequently work together on
projects, in particular, our planning, design, and
environmental planning groups work closely to
ensure optimal allocation of staff to projects.
City of Beaumont I On -Call Planning and Environmental Services
5 Quality Assurance/Quality Control
The Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/
QC) process begins with the preparation of
the scope of services and staff assignments.
The MIG project manager will closely match
staff skills and experience with each project
assignment. Once the City signs off on the
project description, scope of work, content, and
format of required technical studies, the project
manager will then have an internal kick-off
meeting to review the project assignments.
At this point, all staff will be provided clear
guidance on deliverables, and senior subject
matter experts are assigned to review
these deliverables prior to finalizing them
and sending them to the City. MIG's project
manager will oversee all work products. The
project manager will regularly keep the City
and the applicant updated on the project's
progress. If potential issues start to develop,
the project manager will identify such issues
to the City and the applicant, and recommend
a corrective course of action before such
issues become problems. Following these QA/
QC procedures ensures that projects remain
on schedule and on budget, and that City
expectations are met. The project manager will
ensure QA/QC procedures are followed and, as
Principal -In -Charge, Pamela Steele is ultimately
responsible for oversight of these procedures
across all projects.
Budget and Schedule
Proactive project management and client
service are paramount to our success.
Our strategies for successful budget and
schedule control include: communication,
advance planning, and early establishment
(and communication) of agreed -upon scope,
budgets, milestones, and deadlines for each
task. This also takes into consideration report
and review cycles required by the City and
various other agencies and stakeholders. MIG's
project managers carefully monitor project
costs and schedule on a regular basis to
meet the agreed -upon budget and milestone
deliverable due dates. In addition, MIG does
not overcommit our staff and will maintain
City projects as a high priority for designated
staff. Our streamlined project team will include
only essential staff in project execution.
Maintaining a streamlined project team helps
facilitate smoother project management,
simplify communications with clients and key
stakeholders, and control costs. We will create
an integrated working relationship with the City
and will provide you and the applicant with:
status updates regarding schedule and budget,
monthly progress reports, and regular informal
communication. We are proactive with our
clients in communicating project status, issues
to be resolved, the need for meetings, and
project updates and news.

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

11 Menifee Villages Specific Plan Amendment EIR Addendum The project includes a Specific Plan Amendment to transfer dwelling units between Planning Areas, add a new Planning Area, reduce the amount of commercial development capacity, and make revisions to definition of density designations. Under the City of Menifee's on -call contract, MIG is in the process of preparing an EIR Addendum and peer -reviewing CEQA documents, specifically Western Riverside MSHCP Consistency Analyses and burrowing owl survey reports prepared by another biological consultant for the specific plan update. While peer -reviewing the reports prepared by the biological consultant, it was discovered that several vernal pools were undocumented in the report findings despite being visible in multiple photographs provided in the report. To confirm the findings in person, MIG's Biologist was asked to visit the site with the City and the developer to identify the vernal pools present at the site. The vernal pools constitute Riparian and Riverine resources per the Western Riverside MSHCP.
After demonstrating to the City that sensitive resources were present, the City requested that MIG conduct protocol -level vernal pool surveys, perform a jurisdictional delineation, and prepare a Determination of Biologically Equivalent or Superior Preservation (DBESP). This portion of the project was completed within the scoped budget. A separate task order was issued to examine vernal pools present onsite after the peer review.

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

Duke Realty Warehouse Project EIR
MIG prepared an EIR for the development of the Duke Realty Warehouse Logistics Center, an approximately 1,192,671 -square -foot, nonrefrigerated warehouse building on approximately 54.8 net acres of land. The building would have a maximum height of 50 feet and occupy a footprint area of 1,116,934 square feet. Onsite improvements would include approximately 293,739 square feet of landscaped area and approximately 974,669 square feet of Portland cement concrete paving for parking areas, loading areas, truck courts, and circulation drives. Implementation of the project would require several discretionary approvals by the County of San Bernardino (lead agency), including certification of the Final EIR, adoption of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, Airport Land Use Commission approval, Site Plan Approval, approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of the proposed warehouse building, and approval of a Tentative Parcel Map to consolidate four parcels into one large parcel.
MIG responsibilities for the project included third -party peer review of technical studies (air quality/greenhouses gases, biological resources, cultural resources, and geotechnical/soils studies) as well as preparation and processing of the EIR. Key issues for this project included historical resources (agricultural irrigation flumes), tribal cultural resources, biological resources (nesting migratory birds), air quality (VOC and NOx emissions), greenhouse gas emissions, paleontological resources, and cumulative traffic impacts (intersection Level of Service).
Through MIG's past experience providing project entitlement services for numerous warehouse, industrial, and commercial building projects in the surrounding area, we were able to utilize our knowledge of environmental issues and neighborhood concerns associated with the East Valley area of San Bernardino County, as well as our familiarity with the San Bernardino County development review process to successfully navigate the CEQA process and deliver the Duke Realty Warehouse Logistics Center EIR on time and within budget. MIG enjoyed its collaborative working relationship with the County development staff throughout the preparation and processing of this important EIR.

CEQA/NEPA DOCUMENTS
MIG's dedicated environmental staff have the
background and experience to properly scope
and prepare environmental impact analysis
documents for a wide variety of projects. MIG
prepares clearly written, legally defensible
environmental impact reports (EIR) and other
CEQA/NEPA compliance documentation —initial
studies (IS)/mitigated negative declarations
(MND), environmental assessments (EA)/
Findings of No Significant Impact (FONSI),
environmental impact statements (EIS), and
Categorical Exemptions/Exclusions. We
specialize in preparing both "project -specific"
environmental documents for site -specific
industrial, residential, commercial, institutional,
and mixed -use developments, as well as
broad -based "program EIRs" for specific plans,
general plans, and other policy plans.
MIG has successfully completed more than
300 EIRs, as well as numerous other CEQA
and NEPA compliance documents for public
agencies. We also provide third party peer
review services for all types of CEQA and
NEPA environmental documents and technical
studies. We regularly provide these services
to the Cities of Menifee, Commerce, Grand
Terrace, and Redlands.
AIR QUALITY IMPACT AND HEALTH
RISK ASSESSMENTS
MIG prepares the technical air quality analyses
necessary to obtain CEQA, NEPA, and other
permitting/regulatory approvals from regional,
state, and federal air agencies. MIG prepares
area and fugitive (e.g., dust and emissions from
soil disturbance and material transfer), mobile,
and stationary source emissions estimates
using agency -recommended models. The
emissions estimates developed by these
models and methodologies are compared to
regulatory thresholds of respective air quality
management districts, CEQA significance
thresholds or other state or federal regulatory
requirements as appropriate. MIG is skilled
in quantifying the emissions levels from all
aspects of a project, comparing emissions
levels and concentrations against applicable
thresholds, and developing project design
features or mitigation measures that reduce
project emissions and associated risks.
BIOLOGICAL SITE SURVEYS/SPECIAL
STATUS SPECIES SURVEYS
MIG's experience in biological studies and
impact assessments includes the preparation
of biological surveys to evaluate existing
conditions and the presence of sensitive
habitat or special -status plant or animal species
and applicable laws pertaining to the resources
found. Biological impact assessments evaluate
the effects of a proposed project on biological
resources and are used to support CEQA/
NEPA documents and permit applications.
City of Beaumont On -Call Planning and Environmental Services 17
MIG also provides the technical support
required for Endangered Species Act Section
7 or Section 10 consultations and California
Fish and Wildlife Endangered Species Act 2081
permits. We have expertise in assessing the
potential occurrence of many sensitive species,
including many butterfly species and birds such
as the coastal California gnat catcher, least
bell's vireo, and Cooper's hawk.
REGULATORY PERMITTING
MIG's wetland delineators maintain current
training and can identify whether specific areas
are covered under the jurisdiction of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Regional
Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB),
California Department of Fish and Wildlife
(CDFW), US Department of Fish and Wildlife
(USFWS), California Coastal Commission,
and local regulatory agencies. MIG assists
cities or projects in obtaining permits from
various regulatory agencies, including, but not
limited to, the 404 Nationwide or Individual
Permits from USACE, the Lake and Streambed
Alteration Agreement from CDFW, and the 401
Water Quality Certification from RWQCB. MIG
prepares technical studies required for these
permits as well as the permit applications.
ENERGY ESTIMATES AND EVALUATION
MIG also has expertise in evaluating the new
energy impact requirements of the recently
amended state CEQA Guidelines. Project
energy consumption is estimated using
information from air quality emissions estimates
or modeling conducted for the project. MIG
would then evaluate whether the project
would result in the wasteful, inefficient, or
unnecessary consumption of energy resources,
including mobile sources. Energy -saving .
factors analyzed would include site layout
and orientation, proximity to regional arterials,
building design, and any trip -reducing or other
energy -saving operations that result in the
efficient use of available energy resources.
GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG)/CLIMATE
CHANGE IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
In California, local land use authorities are
required to consider the effects of project- and
plan -level greenhouse gas emissions as part
of the CEQA review process. Many of the
models (e.g., CaIEEMod) and inventories (e.g.,
OFFROAD) MIG uses to estimate emissions of
criteria air pollutants like particulate matter also
quantify GHG emissions from common GHG
sources like vehicles, electricity consumption,
and space heating; however, the methods for
evaluating GHG emissions levels can differ
from traditional air quality analyses because
GHG emissions represent a global impact,
and there are a myriad of state, national, and
international goals, policies, and programs
adopted for the purposes of reducing GHG
emissions.
18 City of Beaumont I On -Call Planning and Environmental Services
GHG emissions are also produced from less
common but high -emitting sources such as
refrigerants and electrical insulators that fall
outside the scope of traditional air quality
analyses.
NOISE IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
MIG performs noise monitoring and impact
assessments for environmental analysis,
mitigation monitoring, and other compliance
purposes. MIG has the necessary expertise and
equipment to monitor pre- and post -project
noise levels, documenting in -situ attenuation
patterns, and evaluating the effectiveness of
noise -reducing insulation and infrastructure.
MIG has monitored noise levels from
construction equipment, traffic, public events
(with and without amplified sound), and various
types of stationary equipment (e.g., HVAC
units, generators, concrete batch plants). MIG
collects and analyzes project -specific noise
data to assess the compatibility of pre- and
post -project noise levels with zoning standards,
general plan standards, and general quality of
life standards. MIG staff can clearly articulate
noise impact findings to decision -making
bodies and have worked with community
members, project architects, municipal staff,
and project proponents to develop mitigation
in the form of operating restrictions, sound
barriers, and sound power output limits that
provide community and project benefits.
TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Fehr & Peers will prepare all necessary
transportation studies in accordance with
Senate Bill (SB 743) utilizing Vehicle Miles
Traveled (VMT) to perform transportation
impact analysis. Fehr & Peers would advise
how to approach projects consistent with
SB 743 and The Office of Planning and
Research's (OPR's) Technical Advisory, and the
City's Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines for
Vehicle Miles Traveled and Level of Service
Assessment (March 2020). Fehr & Peers
assisted the Western Riverside Council of
Governments in the development of the SB
743 implementation pathway study for member
agencies (including Beaumont) and have been
assisting local, regional, and state agencies in
implementing SB 743 and transportation impact
assessment since 2018.
Travel Demand Forecasting (TDF) models are
the recommended tool for estimating VMT.
Fehr & Peers have prepared TDF models for
many cities, counties, and regional agencies
throughout California and was part of the team
that prepared the County's current RIVCOM
travel demand model that is consistent with
Connect SoCal 2020, the 2020 SCAG RTP.
Fehr & Peers have used models to generate
future forecast data on a variety of projects
for the Riverside County region in addition to
Caltrans facilities.
City of Beaumont I On -Call Planning and Environmental Services
19 Fehr & Peers modeling expertise extends
to other software tools, such as simulation
software and capacity -analysis software. Fehr &
Peers will also post -process raw model outputs
to develop the appropriate level of traffic
volumes and peak -hour turning movements
at intersections and segments. Fehr & Peers
will generate data, such as volumes, average
speeds, truck traffic, and VMT by speed
class, to support air quality, GHG, and noise
impact analysis. Specific to airport freight
studies, SB 743 does not require truck VMT in
transportation impact assessment, but truck
VMT analysis is still required for air quality,
GHG, and noise impact analysis.
When Caltrans is involved, Fehr & Peers will
adhere to Caltrans requirements (including
the Traffic Analysis Framework) and provide
defensible and mutually acceptable mitigation
measures whenever necessary.
TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES
MIG, in a consultative capacity, advises our
clients regarding cost-effective options to avoid
or reduce project impacts. The MIG tailored
approach also includes the documentary
procedures concerning Native American
Consultation and/or Coordination as specified
in SB 18 and AB 52 to ensure their involvement
in protecting Tribal Cultural Resources,
properties, and sensitive archaeological sites.
VISUAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
MIG's graphic and computer simulation staff
specialize in computerized view simulations and
preparation of visual impact analyses. Our team
can prepare and/or review visual simulations,
urban design height analyses, shade studies,
and other illustrative plans needed for all
types of projects. Our team has extensive
experience creating illustrations and analyzing
environments allowing for the objective review
and understanding of projects.

c. Method Of Sharing
If all of the other insurance permits contribution
by equal shares, we will follow this method also.
Under this approach each insurer contributes
equal amounts until it has paid its applicable
limit of insurance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
If any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will contribute
by limits. Under this method, each insurer's
share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit
of insurance to the total applicable limits of
insurance of all insurers.
Primary And Non -Contributory Insurance If
Required By Written Contract
If you specifically agree in a written contract or
agreement that the insurance afforded to an
insured under this Coverage Part must apply on
a primary basis, or a primary and non-
contributory basis, this insurance is primary to
other insurance that is available to such insured
which covers such insured as a named insured,
and we will not share with that other insurance,
provided that:
(1) The "bodily injury' or "property damage" for
which coverage is sought occurs; and
(2) The "personal and advertising injury" for
which coverage is sought is caused by an
offense that is committed;
subsequent to the signing of that contract or
agreement by you.
5. Premium Audit
a. We will compute all premiums for this Coverage
Part in accordance with our rules and rates.
b. Premium shown in this Coverage Part as
advance premium is a deposit premium only. At
the close of each audit period we will compute
the earned premium for that period and send
notice to the first Named Insured. The due date
for audit and retrospective premiums is the date
shown as the due date on the bill. If the sum of
the advance and audit premiums paid for the
policy period is greater than the earned
premium, we will return the excess to the first
Named Insured.
c. The first Named Insured must keep records of
the information we need for premium
computation, and send us copies at such times
as we may request.
6. Representations
By accepting this policy, you agree:
d.
a. The statements in the Declarations are
accurate and complete;
b. Those statements are based upon
representations you made to us; and
c. We have issued this policy in reliance upon
your representations.
The unintentional omission of, or unintentional error
in, any information provided by you which we relied
upon in issuing this policy will not prejudice your
rights under this insurance. However, this provision
does not affect our right to collect additional
premium or to exercise our rights of cancellation or
nonrenewal in accordance with applicable insurance
laws or regulations.
Separation Of Insureds
Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance, and
any rights or duties specifically assigned in this
Coverage Part to the first Named Insured, this
insurance applies:
a. As if each Named Insured were the only
Named Insured; and
b. Separately to each insured against whom claim
is made or "suit" is brought.
8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others
To Us
If the insured has rights to recover all or part of any payment we have made under this Coverage Part,
those rights are transferred to us. The insured must
do nothing after loss to impair them. At our request,
the insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights
to us and help us enforce them.
9. When We Do Not Renew
If we decide not to renew this Coverage Part, we will
mail or deliver to the first Named Insured shown in
the Declarations written notice of the nonrenewal
not less than 30 days before the expiration date.
If notice is mailed, proof of mailing will be sufficient proof of notice.

Staff Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Steven D. Jones, Community Development Department Director BY: Sara Retmier, Building Official
DATE: May 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendments to Agreements for Professional Services for Building and Safety Services
Description: To consider approval of amendments to the agreements for professional services to be provided by Scott Fazekas & Associates Inc., and Wildan Engineering for as -needed Building and Safety inspection and plan check services and staff augmentation.
Background and Analysis:
On May 16, 2023, the City entered into three (3) year contract agreements for professional services with Scott Fazekas & Associates, Inc. and Willdan Engineering to provide as -needed building and safety plan check services, supporting both the City and developers with plan review, inspection processes, and staff augmentation with a "not to exceed" budget amount.
The contract pricing for Scott Fazekas & Associates, Inc., based on the percentage of plan check revenue collected, will remain unchanged. The amendment establishes a not- to- exceed amount of $827,000, which includes all prior payments to the firm as well as the estimated budgeted amount for fiscal year 2026-2027.
Willdan Engineering has requested cost proposal adjustments to their pay rates. The amendment includes a not to exceed amount of $134,000 that includes the previous payment to their firm, including the estimated budgeted amount for fiscal year 2026/2027.
Without the proposed amendments to extend agreement terms, authorizations for services are set to expire May 16, 2026.
Fiscal Impact:
The estimated cost of preparing this staff report is $250.
Fees for private development projects are assessed to fully recover staff costs associated with plan check services processing, inspections, and as- needed staff augmentation. No General Fund appropriations are required for this item.
Recommended Action:
Approve amendments to the Agreements for Professional Services with Scott Fazekas & Associates, Inc. and Willdan Engineering to authorize rate increases for Willdan Engineering, extend the terms of the agreements through June 30, 2027; and increase contract amount, and
Authorize the City Manager to make as needed minor, non -substantive changes and execute the amendments.
