CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, February 3, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 16. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Debra Scott, Housing Specialist CMO Housing & Neighborhood Subject: CONSIDER AWARDING AND APPROVING A CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH DUDEKFOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES IN SUPPORT OF THE CITY OF CARSON NEIGHBORHOODPRIDE PROGRAM (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
This item recommends the City Council award a Contract Services Agreement (Agreement) to Dudek for on-call environmental consulting services for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance reporting for housing rehabilitation projects provided through the City of Carson Neighborhood Pride Program. While these projects are administered by the City of Carson, because they are funded through the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, they are subject to NEPA and related environmental regulations under 24 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 58 as a requirement for the project to proceed. The services will include preparing required environmental review documentation, conducting site assessments, and providing compliance reporting to support meeting CEQA, NEPA, and HUD environmental requirements. The proposed contract for environmental consulting is for a ﬁve-year term beginning on February 22, 2026, and ending on February 22, 2031, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the termination provisions of the contract.

Approval of the recommendation (Recommendation Items 1 and 2 below) would authorize the proposed Contract Services Agreement with Dudek for environmental consulting services for a ﬁve-year term beginning February 22, 2026, for a total not-to-exceed amount would be $525,000 (see Exhibit No. 1).

Dudek CEQA/NEPA are experienced and qualiﬁed practitioners that have completed more than 3,400 successful CEQA/NEPA documents nationwide, including categorical exclusions and exemptions, environmental assessments (EAs), initial studies/mitigated negative declarations (IS/MNDs), environmental impact statements (EISs), environmental impact reports (EIRs), addendums, programmatic reviews, and related notices and ﬁndings.

Dudek regularly provides the full range of services required for CEQA/NEPA compliance, including technical studies, public outreach, and noticing. They have conducted numerous Part 58 environmental reviews for a wide variety of clients and jurisdictions and have a deep familiarity with HUD procedures and requirements, and none of the thousands of CEQA/NEPA documents they have prepared have ever been legally overturned in court.

On September 4, 2025, staff issued a Request for Qualiﬁcations (RFQ) to identify a qualiﬁed vendor to provide environmental service for HUD requirements for the City's Community Block Grant Program (CDBG) funded residential and mobile home park projects though the city's Neighborhood Pride Program (NPP). Seventy-one ﬁrms were solicited and eight ﬁrms submitted proposals. The proposals were evaluated and based on the scoring criteria in the RFQ, Dudek was identiﬁed as the highest-ranking bidder. Staff now recommends awarding a ﬁve-year contract to Dudek for the services.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. APPROVE the proposed Contract Services Agreement with Dudek for on-call environmental services for a ﬁve-year term, for a not-to-exceed amount of $525,000 for the ﬁve-year term (Exhibit No. 1; the "Agreement"); and

2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the agreement, following approval as to from by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action deemed appropriate by the City Council and that is consistent with applicable laws.

IV. BACKGROUND
On September 4, 2025, staff issued a RFQ to identify a qualiﬁed vendor to provide environmental service for HUD requirements for the City's CDBG funded residential and mobile home park projects though the city's Neighborhood Pride Program. The City received eight proposals, which were evaluated by a three member Proposal Review evaluation committee consisting of two Housing staff members and one Planning staff member based on the scoring criteria set forth in the RFQ (Exhibit No. 2). The City's Purchasing Division then reviewed the evaluations and averaged the overall scores. The proposal from Dudek received the highest overall score of 96, therefore Dudek was determined to be the most qualiﬁed and highest ranked ﬁrm for this contract. A summary of the average evaluation scores for all eight proposals is provided below:

1. Chamber Group Inc. - 92

2. Dudek - 96

3. Envicom Corporation - 91

4. Kimley-Horn and Associates - 92

5. LSA Associates Inc. - 89
. Psomas - 86

7. SWCA Environmental Consultant - 89
. UltraSystems Environment - 88
The evaluations and scores were performed in accordance with Section No. 4526 of the Government code, which governs the selection of professional environmental and related services by state and local agencies.

As outlined in their proposal and the proposed contract, Dudek will work closely with the City of Carson Housing Division Team to complete the environmental scope of services as outlined in Exhibit "B" of contract services (see Exhibit No. 1).

V. FISCAL IMPACT
If the City Council approves the proposed contract with Dudek, the ﬁscal impact is anticipated to be up to $105,000 annually, totaling $525,000 over the full 5-year contract period. Funding for this agreement would be allocated from the City Manager's Oﬃce Housing Division budget for professional services, under Budget Code 101-50-502-101- 6004. The cost of $35,000 for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2025-2026 are contingent upon City Council approval of the mid-year budget request. Costs would be allocated by ﬁscal year as follows:

Fiscal Year 2025/2026 (February 22, 2026 to June 30, 2026) $35,000 Fiscal Year 2026/2027 (12 months) $105,000

Any use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Consultant will be at the City’s sole risk and without liability to Consultant, and Consultant’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Consultant may retain copies of such documents for its own use. Consultant shall have the right to use the concepts embodied therein.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 California Law.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions 01007.0016 2072760.1 -13-
concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.

7.2 Disputes; Default.

In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default.

This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

7.3 Retention of Funds.

Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, cost s, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

7.4 Waiver.

Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.

Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.

Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 01007.0016 2072760.1 -14-

7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercis e by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

7.6 Legal Action.

In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.

7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.

This Section shall govern any termination of this Agreement except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, Consultant may terminate this Agreement if and on ly if all of the following criteria are met: (i) City is in default under the terms of this Agreement; (ii) Consultant has given City 30 days’ written notice (or longer, if circumstances warrant) of the default and the reasons for the default; and (iii) Ci ty has failed to cure the default within said cure period. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedu le of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3.

In the event of City’s termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the City need not provide the Consultant with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section

7.2 7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.

If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such 01007.0016 2072760.1 -15-
damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set -off or partial payment of the amounts owed by City therefor.

If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be grante d, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation.

A. SUMMARY

The City of Carson; hereinafter referred to as “City” Housing Division is requesting written responses to this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) from qualified Environmental Consultant(s) to provide environmental consulting services in support of the City’s Housing Rehabilitation projects.

These projects primarily involve the rehabilitation of single-family and mobile home residences located within designated target areas of the City.

Public transportation options include the MTA Bus Line and the City-operated Carson Circuit, providing efficient local transit.

Known for its modern infrastructure and business-friendly environment, Carson is home to major petrochemical, electronics, automotive, aerospace, trucking, and high -tech industries.

D Individual/sole proprietor D C corporation D S corporation D Partnership D LLC. Enter the tax classification (C = C corporation, S = S corporation, P = Partnership) D Trust/estate see instructions on page 3):

Exempt payee code (if any)
Note: Check the "LLC" box above and, in the entry space, enter the appropriate code (C, S, or P) for the tax classification of the LLC, unless it is a disregarded entity. A disregarded entity should instead check the appropriate box for the tax classification of its owner.

D Other (see instructions)
3b If on line 3a you checked "Partnership" or "Trust/estate," or checked "LLC" and entered "P" as its tax classification, and you are providing this form to a partnership, trust, or estate in which you have an ownership interest, check this box if you have any foreign partners, owners, or beneficiaries. See instructions Exemption from Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act {FATCA) reporting
code (if any)

(Applies to accounts maintained
outside the United States.)
ill
(/)
5 Address (number, street, and apt. or suite no.). See instructions. Requester's name and address (optional)

6 City, state, and ZIP code

7 List account number(s) here (optional)

Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)
Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. The TIN provided must match the name given on line 1 to avoid backup withholding. For individuals, this is generally your social security number (SSN). However, for a resident alien, sole proprietor, or disregarded entity, see the instructions for Part I, later. For other entities, it is your employer identification number (EIN). If you do not have a number, see How to get a TIN, later.

Note: If the account is in more than one name, see the instructions for line 1. See also What Name and Number To Give the Requester for guidelines on whose number to enter.

Certification
Under penalties of perjury, I certify that:

Social security number

or
Employer identification number

1. The number shown on this form is my correct taxpayer identification number (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to me); andss

2. I am not subject to backup withholding because (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified me that I am no longer subject to backup withholding; and

3. I am a U.S. citizen or other U.S. person (defined below); and

4. The FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that I am exempt from FATCA reporting is correct.

Certification instructions. You must cross out item 2 above if you have been notified by the IRS that you are currently subject to backup withholding because you have failed to report all interest and dividends on your tax return. For real estate transactions, item 2 does not apply. For mortgage interest paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, contributions to an individual retirement arrangement (IRA), and, generally, payments other than interest and dividends, you are not required to sign the certification, but you must provide your correct TIN. See the instructions for Part II, later.

General Instructions
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

Future developments. For the latest information about developments related to Form W-9 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to www.irs.gov/FormW9.

What's New
Line 3a has been modified to clarify how a disregarded entity completes this line. An LLC that is a disregarded entity should check the appropriate box for the tax classification of its owner. Otherwise, it should check the "LLC" box and enter its appropriate tax classification.

Cat. No. 10231X
New line 3b has been added to this form. A flow-through entity is required to complete this line to indicate that it has direct or indirect foreign partners, owners, or beneficiaries when it provides the Form W-9 to another flow-through entity in which it has an ownership interest. This change is intended to provide a flow-through entity with information regarding the status of its indirect foreign partners, owners, or beneficiaries, so that it can satisfy any applicable reporting requirements. For example, a partnership that has any indirect foreign partners may be required to complete Schedules K-2 and K-3. See the Partnership Instructions for Schedules K-2 and K-3 (Form 1065).

Purpose of Form
An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an information return with the IRS is giving you this form because they Form W-9 (Rev. 3-2024)
D

Form W-9 (Rev. 3-2024)

must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN), which may be your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information returns include, but are not limited to, the following.
• Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid).
• Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual funds).
• Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross proceeds).
• Form 1099-NEC (nonemployee compensation).
• Form 1099-B (stock or mutual fund sales and certain other transactions by brokers).
• Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions). • Form 1099-K (merchant card and third-party network transactions). • Form 1098 (home mortgage interest), 1098-E (student loan interest), and 1098-T (tuition).
• Form 1099-C (canceled debt).
• Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property).

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN.

Caution: If you don't return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding, later.

By signing the filled-out form, you:

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued);

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding; or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee;and

4. Certify to your non-foreign status for purposes of withholding under chapter 3 or 4 of the Code (if applicable); and

5. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting is correct. See What Is FATCA Reporting, later, for further information.

Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester's form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:
• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien; • A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States; • An estate (other than a foreign estate); or
• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Establishing U.S. status for purposes of chapter 3 and chapter 4 withholding. Payments made to foreign persons, including certain distributions, allocations of income, or transfers of sales proceeds, may be subject to withholding under chapter 3 or chapter 4 of the Code (sections 1441-1474). Under those rules, if a Form W-9 or other certification of non-foreign status has not been received, a withholding agent, transferee, or partnership (payor) generally applies presumption rules that may require the payor to withhold applicable tax from the recipient, owner, transferor, or partner (payee). See Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities.

The following persons must provide Form W-9 to the payor for purposes of establishing its non-foreign status.
• In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the disregarded entity. • In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the grantor trust.
• In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

See Pub. 515 for more information on providing a Form W-9 or a certification of non-foreign status to avoid withholding.

Page 2 ends

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person (under Regulations section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) or other applicable section for chapter 3 or 4 purposes), do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515). If you are a qualified foreign pension fund under Regulations section 1.897(1)-1(d), or a partnership that is wholly owned by qualified foreign pension funds, that is treated as a non-foreign person for purposes of section 1445 withholding, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use Form W-8EXP (or other certification of non-foreign status).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a saving clause. Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items.

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if their stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first Protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on their scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.

Backup Withholding
What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called "backup withholding." Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include, but are not limited to, interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third-party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester;

2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for details);

Form W-9 (Rev. 3-2024) Page3

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding.

See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

See also Establishing U.S. status for purposes of chapter 3 and chapter 4 withholding, earlier.

What Is FATCA Reporting?
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all U.S. account holders that are specified U.S. persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Updating Your Information
You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you are no longer tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account, for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties
Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner's name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity's name on line 2. If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN.

Line 2
If you have a business name, trade name, DBA name, or disregarded entity name, enter it on line 2.

Line 3a
Check the appropriate box on line 3a for the U.S. federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on line 1. Check only one box on line 3a.

Line 6
Enter your city, state, and ZIP code.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)
Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have, and are not eligible to get, an SSN, your TIN is your IRS ITIN. Enter it in the entry space for the Social security number. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner's SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity's EIN.

Note: See What Name and Number To Give the Requester, later, for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately.

To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at www.SSA.gov. You may also get this form by calling 800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/EIN. Go to www.irs.gov/Forms to view, download, or print Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4. Or, you can go to www.irs.gov/OrderForms to place an order and have Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4 mailed to you within 15 business days.

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and enter "Applied For" in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, you will generally have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments.

You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note: Entering "Applied For" means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon. See also Establishing U.S. status for purposes of chapter 3 and chapter 4 withholding, earlier, for when you may instead be subject to withholding under chapter 3 or 4 of the Code.

Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Secure Your Tax Records From Identity Theft
Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information, such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

To reduce your risk:
• Protect your SSN,
• Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and
• Be careful when choosing a tax return preparer.

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity, or a questionable credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

For more information, see Pub. 5027, Identity Theft Information for Taxpayers.

Form W-9 (Rev. 3-2024) Page6

Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a systemic problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 800-829-4059.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes.

Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.

If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to [email protected]. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at [email protected] or report them at www.ftc.gov/complaint. You can contact the FTC at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 877-IDTHEFT (877-438-4338).

If you have been the victim of identity theft, see www.ldentityTheft.gov and Pub. 5027.

Go to www.irs.gov/ldentityTheft to learn more about identity theft and how to reduce your risk.

Privacy Act Notice
Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons (including federal agencies) who are required to file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, or certain other income paid to you; mortgage interest you paid; the acquisition or abandonment of secured property; the cancellation of debt; or contributions you made to an IRA, Archer MSA, or HSA. The person collecting this form uses the information on the form to file information returns with the IRS, reporting the above information.

Routine uses of this information include giving it to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation and to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths and territories for use in administering their laws. The information may also be disclosed to other countries under a treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce civil and criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism. You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Under section 3406, payors must generally withhold a percentage of taxable interest, dividends, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to the payor.

Certain penalties may also apply for providing false or fraudulent information.

Subject: Notice of Request for Qualifications (RFQ): #25-007Q | On-Call Environmental Consulting Services (CEQA & NEPA Support)
Dear Josilla Togiola:

Dudek understands the City of Carson (City) needs a team of experts to support California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance for housing rehabilitation projects under the Neighborhood Pride Program. Because these projects are funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant, they are subject to NEPA and related environmental regulations under 24 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 58. Dudek has extensive experience delivering the scope outlined in the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and is well-positioned to assist the City with timely, accurate, and defensible environmental reviews that support meaningful housing improvements for City residents. To provide the best services to the City, we have invited our trusted subconsultant Anderson Intergrated Services to provide Radon services .

Deep Bench of CEQA/NEPA practitioners: Dudek CEQA/NEPA practitioners have completed more than 3,400 successful CEQA/NEPA documents nationwide, including categorical exclusions and exemptions, environmental assessments (EAs), initial studies/mitigated negative declarations (IS/MNDs), environmental impact statements (EISs), environmental impact reports (EIRs), addendums, programmatic reviews, and related notices and findings. We regularly provide the full range of services required for CEQA/NEPA compliance, including technical studies, public outreach, and noticing. We have conducted numerous Part 58 environmental reviews for a wide variety of clients and jurisdictions and have a deep familiarity with HUD procedures and requirements, including NEPA classification, tiered reviews, required technical analyses (e.g., noise, air quality, historic preservation, hazardous materials) and radon testing requirements, and preparation of HUD notices and forms. Our team includes over 1,000 qualified staff, and we take pride that none of the thousands of CEQA/NEPA documents we have prepared have ever been legally overturned in court.

Project Understanding
Understanding of Scope and Objectives
The City of Carson’s Neighborhood Pride Program, funded through HUD’s Community Development Block Grant program, provides grants and deferred loans to low- and moderate-income homeowners for health, safety, and code-related single-family and mobile home rehabilitation projects. Therefore, such projects are subject to compliance with NEPA and other related federal and state environmental laws through the HUD environmental review procedures at 24 CFR Part 58. In support of this program, the City is seeking qualified environmental consultants to assist the City with NEPA compliance and (if applicable) CEQA compliance, including conducting HUD-required environmental reviews pursuant to 24 CFR Part 58—including NEPA classification, tiered environmental reviews (including both broad-level [Tier 1] and site-specific [Tier 2] reviews), radon testing, supporting technical analyses, and preparation of required HUD public notices and forms—for approximately 100 rehabilitation projects, ensuring compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The City’s goals include ensuring timely and accurate environmental compliance to facilitate housing improvements for low- and moderate-income residents. Our team is prepared to deliver timely, compliant, and high-quality documentation and support that aligns with HUD, NEPA, CEQA, and City standards.

Understanding of HUD-Funded Housing Rehabilitation Projects Our team has extensive experience conducting environmental reviews in accordance with 24 CFR Part 58, and our deep familiarity with HUD’s environmental requirements enables us to effectively support the environmental review for any HUD-funded program. We have successfully completed Part 58 environmental reviews for projects funded by a variety of HUD programs, including, but not limited to, the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, HOME-American Rescue Plan program, Community Development Block Grants, Public Housing Operating Fund, and Community Project Funding initiatives, as well as Project-Based Vouchers. We have completed environmental reviews for a range of activities, including new construction and rehabilitation of affordable housing, conversion projects, property acquisitions, and improvements and repairs to recreational facilities and programs. We are proficient in using HUD Environmental Review Online System (HEROS) to manage and submit environmental review records (ERRs).

Notice of Request for Qualifications (RFQ): #25-007Q | On-Call Environmental Consulting Services (CEQA & NEPA Support) 14 We have direct experience with the 8-step decision-making process required under Executive Orders 11988 (Floodplain Management) and 11990 (Wetlands Protection), including its regulatory framework outlined in 24 CFR Part 55. Our team has completed this process for projects involving floodplain and wetland impacts, ensuring full documentation of alternatives, public notices, and mitigation strategies as outlined in HUD guidance. We also understand CEQA’s applicability to rehabilitation projects and can efficiently determine exemption levels or prepare Initial Studies and Negative Declarations as needed.

We have a team of environmental engineers, geologists, and hydrogeologists who have decades of experience in site assessment and remediation and working with public and private property owners to identify potential impacts due to hazardous materials/wastes, manage environmental liabilities, and mitigate risks. Our technical experts provide thorough environmental due diligence investigations allowing our clients to make informed decisions regarding property transfers, acquisition, and development. We have conducted thousands of Phase I ESAs in accordance with the appropriate ASTM standards and other applicable regulatory-, lender-, and client-specific requirements. We thoroughly research to determine recognized environmental conditions and/or environmental concerns that can impact the cost, risk, and schedule of a project. We have conducted hundreds of Phase II ESAs in accordance with applicable ASTM standards and regulatory guidelines. We strive to collect a comprehensive and defensible dataset for use in planning, site development, and/or remediation, as well as to satisfy regulatory requirements. This combined expertise allows us to navigate complex regulatory environments, streamline project timelines, and ensure compliance with all applicable federal and state environmental and housing program requirements.

Understanding City Needs
We recognize that the City requires responsive, reliable, and knowledgeable consultants who can manage multiple concurrent projects while maintaining regulatory compliance and meeting strict deadlines. The City values clear communication, coordination with interested parties, and timely deliverables. Our team is committed to supporting City staff with regular updates, attending public meetings when needed, and providing expert guidance throughout the environmental review process. We aim to be a trusted partner in helping the City achieve its housing rehabilitation goals while ensuring environmental stewardship and regulatory integrity.

Project Approach and Work Plan
This section describes our general approach and work plan tailored to each individual project. Our underlying approach is close coordination with City staff to determine the appropriate NEPA or CEQA compliance document and technical studies that may be needed, and preparation of NEPA and CEQA compliance documents that thoroughly evaluate issues of concern and are written in a clear, concise, technically accurate, and legally sound manner.

Project Management Strategy
Dudek’s project management philosophy is focused on establishing close working relationships with agency staff from project kickoff to completion; conducting technically sound, objective assessments; and managing the environmental review process in a streamlined, compliant, and straightforward manner. Effective project management requires careful communication with the client and among project participants. Dudek believes that the most effective project manager aids the continuous flow of information, instructions, and guidance on a regular basis. Our proven project management approach involves the following strategies:
▪ Updating, as necessary, the project description, schedule, work progress reports, and inventories of available data so that all team members are aware of information that may affect their work products and schedules

Notice of Request for Qualifications (RFQ): #25-007Q | On-Call Environmental Consulting Services (CEQA & NEPA Support) 15 ▪ Establishing defined lines of communication with the City and project applicant ▪ Serving as the City’s single point of contact
▪ Regularly calling or emailing the City’s project manager to discuss milestones, activities, and potential issues
▪ Holding regular project management meetings with key project staff to coordinate work efforts, monitor task completion, and review budget conformance
▪ Coordinating with City staff at strategic junctures for public input Budget and Schedule Controls
Dudek is committed to maintaining continuous communication and closely monitoring cost and schedule performance. Using the latest available digital project management systems, we maintain accurate, up-to-date budgets and schedules. We have the ability to share cost and schedule details with the City in real time by efficiently and accurately tracking budgets and regularly updating project schedules.

Staff Availability and Continuity
Dudek offers the City a team of accessible, committed staff members who are ready to begin work immediately.

We have a lateral internal structure, meaning that our contract manager and project managers are available to support the program manager on complex projects, and we have a deep bench of skilled project reviewers, design reviewers, technical experts, and practitioners to support a wide variety of reviews ranging from the simplest to the most complex. Internally, Dudek focuses on hiring and retaining the most qualified project managers and environmental specialists. We take care of our professionals. As a result, we have low staff turnover, career longevity, and can provide a team that remains intact for the life of the contract.

On-Time Delivery
Dudek has a reputation for consistently delivering projects on time and within budget. We rise to the challenges of meeting tight timelines and, in doing so, have developed an expertise in critical path management, fast-track scheduling, efficient staffing, and workload management. We have achieved this record of on-time performance through the consistent application of several fundamental strategies. These strategies include early identification of methodologies to be used, determination of existing issues, implementation of an interactive process, and use of consistently applied administrative systems.

Technical Approach
Our technical approach is focused on critical-path activities to keep projects moving forward, avoid unnecessary delays, and meet the City’s goals. We employ the following strategies to facilitate a straightforward, transparent environmental review process:
▪ Ensuring that environmental project scoping is approved by the City prior to beginning work ▪ Establishing a thorough project description for City review and approval as the initial step in the process ▪ Commencing technical studies early in the process and coordinating staff review of technical studies prior to submittal of first administrative draft environmental documents ▪ Maintaining an organized and thorough administrative record from start to finish ▪ Working strategically with City staff on responses to public and agency comments to ensure that the environmental document is responsive to community concerns

Notice of Request for Qualifications (RFQ): #25-007Q | On-Call Environmental Consulting Services (CEQA & NEPA Support) 16 ▪ Using existing information to the extent possible
▪ Identifying the key resource areas and physical constraints for each individual project and working with the City to address or avoid environmental issues to the extent feasible through mitigation or design Ultimately, Dudek will provide the City with accurate, legally defensible documents that reflect the independent judgment of the City, are fully supported by substantial evidence, and clearly present technical information in a manner that is easy to understand for the general public and decision makers.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Dudek’s quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program involves senior staff review of technical documents combined with the services of a technical editor and publications department to produce high-quality documents done right the first time. Our in-house staff members review work products for completeness, accuracy, and consistency in accordance with internal QA/QC guidelines.

Work Plan
The following work plan outlines how Dudek will provide the required scope of services in compliance with all applicable HUD, NEPA, CEQA, and City requirements.
1 Environmental Review and Documentation

1.1 NEPA Classification
Rehabilitation projects generally involve limited or no ground disturbance or expansion, are consistent with existing land use and zoning, and have limited or no potential significant environmental impacts. Because of these characteristics, they often meet the criteria for categorical exclusions under NEPA. Dudek will coordinate with City staff and legal counsel to determine the level of NEPA review required for the project. This will begin with a review of the criteria for categorical exclusions at 24 CFR § 58.35. If a project is not categorically excluded under §58.35 (for example, if it proposes a change in size or capacity of more than 20%), then an EA will need to be prepared in accordance with 24 CFR Part 58, Subpart E, or, if the project is determined to have a potentially significant impact on the human environment or meet the criteria listed at 24 CFR §58.37(b), then an EIS would be required. For the reasons described above, this work plan assumes that all rehabilitation projects under this program would qualify for a CEST or EA level of environmental review. Dudek will also determine if the project is a good candidate for a tiered environmental review, to allow for a broad-level review and streamlined process for site-specific review as individual projects are proposed under the program. In coordination with the City, based on the review of project plans and determination on the NEPA approach, Dudek will prepare a scope of work for environmental documents and supporting technical studies tailored to each project.

Notice of Request for Qualifications (RFQ): #25-007Q | On-Call Environmental Consulting Services (CEQA & NEPA Support) 17

1.2 Project Initiation
The Dudek project manager will coordinate all project efforts with the Dudek multidisciplinary team for preparing the appropriate analyses to support the HUD environmental review. Dudek will coordinate with the City via video conference, phone, and email, as needed, to initiate the NEPA process. A kickoff meeting will be held to discuss expectations for the NEPA process, review the scope of work, receive current project description details, identify any outstanding data needs, review and refine the schedule, and establish communication protocols. As part of this coordination, Dudek will work with the City to develop a NEPA schedule and key milestones to ensure the environmental review meets the project’s required timeline.

1.3 Part 58 Environmental Review
Dudek will prepare the Part 58 environmental review for the project in accordance with HUD’s procedures at 24 CFR Part 58 using the HUD-approved format. HUD’s formats define the required contents of the environmental review and applicable regulatory statutes. Dudek will evaluate the project for compliance with these federal statutes. The document will include project information, including the project location, project description, purpose and need, and existing conditions and trends; funding information, including the grant number, HUD program, funding amount, and estimated total project cost; and discussions for each compliance factor or topic addressing potential impacts relative to NEPA regulations. Brief explanations will be provided for topics for which no impact would be expected, and/or applicable source documents will be cited where such document clearly shows that no impact would occur. Expanded analyses will be prepared for impacts with potential significance or to document why a potential impact would not be considered significant. The analyses will be based on review of existing studies and data as supplemented by technical studies completed for the project. If required, mitigation measures will be identified to reduce, avoid, or eliminate adverse environmental impacts and to avoid non- compliance or non-conformance with the applicable authorities and factors. The mitigation plan will clearly state the responsible party for implementing and monitoring mitigation measures.

If Dudek is preparing a tiered environmental review, the Tier 1 or broad-level review will contain an evaluation of general environmental impacts across the program or group of projects and will address issues that are common to all sites, including overall compliance with federal laws, cumulative impacts, and regional conditions, and set the framework for future site-specific reviews. As individual sites are selected, the Tier 1 review will be supplemented by individual Tier 2 or site-specific reviews for each site. All laws and authorities requiring localized, site-specific analysis will be addressed in the Tier 2 reviews.

Once completed, the ERR will include the NEPA document in the HUD-required format, partner worksheets, and all attachments referenced in the analysis, including any technical studies prepared to support the environmental review. Dudek will submit the environmental review to the City for staff review and respond to two rounds of City comments (one administrative draft and one screencheck draft) prior to finalizing the environmental review. administrative draft to the County for review and comment. At the City’s direction, Dudek will enter the environmental review into HEROS, and/or provide an electronic (PDF) copy and hard copy if directed by the City.

If any public comments are received during the public review period, if applicable, Dudek will catalog and categorize all comments received on the environmental document and prepare responses to comments for inclusion in the final environmental document, if needed. If comments are non-substantive, a summary in the ERR will be provided. If the ERR was completed in HEROS, Dudek will update the ERR to summarize the comments and responses in HEROS. The summary of comments and responses will be included with the Request Release of Funds (RROF) submittal to HUD.

Deliverables
▪ Administrative draft, screencheck draft, and final ERR in HEROS, PDF, and/or hard copy format

1.4 Notices
Dudek will prepare the appropriate notices for dissemination and publication of the environmental findings and decision documents. All notices will be prepared using HUD’s templates. If the City makes a finding of no significant impact (FONSI), Dudek will prepare a prepare a Combined Notice of FONSI and Notice of Intent (NOI) to RROF. If the determination is that the project remains CEST, Dudek will prepare the NOI-RROF as required by HUD. If a standalone CEST was prepared and the project converts to exempt per 58.34(a)(12) because there are no circumstances that require compliance with any of the federal laws and authorities cited at §58.5, funds may be committed and drawn down after certification of the ERR and no further notice is required. If an EIS is prepared for a project, Dudek will assist the City with preparation of a Record of Decision (ROD); however, this level of environmental review is not anticipated to be necessary for the nature of the rehabilitation projects being pursued. After the public comment period ends, Dudek will prepare the RROF (HUD Form 7015.15) for the City to submit to HUD. After the 15-day objection period, if no objections are received, HUD will issue the Authority to Use Grant Funds (HUD Form 7015.16).

Deliverables
▪ Draft and final public notices for publication on City website (e.g., NOI-RROF or Combined Notice of FONSI/NOI-RROF)
▪ RROF (HUD Form 7015.15)
2 Technical Analyses
To support the NEPA environmental review, Dudek will perform the appropriate technical studies in accordance with HUD guidance or perform peer reviews of third-party-prepared reports. Dudek’s in-house technical specialists can prepare or provide peer reviews of all technical studies. Technical studies may include, but are not limited to, air quality modeling, noise analysis, archaeological resources and historic built environment evaluations, biological resources analyses including floodplain and wetlands assessments, hazardous materials reviews including Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments, and/or radon testing and reporting. Dudek will also support the City with any required federal consultations (e.g., Section 106 or Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act).

Deliverables
▪ Technical reports, as required
3 CEQA Compliance
If applicable, Dudek will coordinate with City staff and legal counsel to determine the level of CEQA review required for the project. This will begin with a review of the criteria for statutory and categorical exemptions under CEQA Guidelines Articles 18 and 19, respectively. Relevant categorical exemptions that may apply to rehabilitation projects may include, but are not limited to, Class 1, Existing Facilities (CEQA Guidelines § 15301), Class 2, Replacement or Reconstruction (CEQA Guidelines § 15302), or Class 3, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures (CEQA Guidelines § 15303). If a categorical exemption cannot be used (i.e., if exceptions under CEQA Guidelines § 15300.2 apply), the project may require preparation of an initial study/mitigated negative declaration (IS/MND), or if a project would have potentially significant impacts, an EIR may be prepared.

Dudek will prepare an appropriate CEQA document, including all required supporting documentation, for the project under consideration. The documents may include a Notice of Exemption (NOE), IS/MND, or EIR. For CEQA documents requiring public review, Dudek will assist the City with developing distribution lists and with preparing required notices. We have authorized staff that can format and upload CEQA documents to the State Clearinghouse’s CEQAnet online database.

Deliverables
▪ Administrative draft, screencheck draft, and final CEQA document in PDF and/or hard copy format, uploaded to CEQAnet

Notice of Request for Qualifications (RFQ): #25-007Q | On-Call Environmental Consulting Services (CEQA & NEPA Support) 19 4 Project Coordination and Support
Dudek will provide comprehensive coordination and support services to assist City staff in managing the environmental review process for multiple concurrent projects. This includes facilitating communication and data collection from applicants, homeowners, contractors, and other City consultants to ensure timely and complete documentation. The Dudek project manager will attend community meetings and public hearings, as needed and as requested by the City throughout the assigned project. Dudek’s role at the meetings will be to present findings, respond to questions pertaining to the CEQA or NEPA environmental review process, and support informed decision making. Regular updates and progress reports will be provided to City staff to maintain transparency and ensure alignment with project schedules and regulatory requirements. Dudek will ensure timely submission of all deliverables.
