SUBJECT
PL26–0112: FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE CONTRACT WITH RICK ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENT CO.

DEPARTMENT
Planning Services, Development Services

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The First Amendment to the Co nsulting Services Agreement (“CSA”) with RICK Engineering and Development Co. (“Consultant”) (Exhibit “A” to Resolution No. 2026 -80) is partially budgeted for in the Development Services Department’s adopted fiscal year (FY) 2025/26 budget . The remaining portion of the First Amendment would be funded partially by pass-through costs from project proponents, with the remaining not budgeted in the Development Services Department’s adopted budget. However, there are sufficient funds in the FY 2025/26 operating budget for this contract amendment and an approved Budget Request Form is attached to this staff report (Attachment “1”).

Due to the timing of this request, the First Amendment would extend the contract period through FY 2026/27. A portion of the First Amendment includes funds for the forthcoming FY 2026/27.

Below is a breakdown of funding for this First Amendment.  FY 2025/26:

o $458,700 – professional services costs for the Development Services Department ’s anticipated FY 2026/27 year.
 $275,000 of the $458,700 would be for purposes of planning on-call services;  $183,700 of the $458,700 (remaining amount) would be for purposes of engineering on-call services.

BACKGROUND
The City of Escondido Development Services Department (“Department”) integrates all land development planning, engineering, and building decisions in one department to streamline services to the public and the construction industry.

The fiscal year 202 6 budgeted amount is $250,000, and the $200,000 contract amount was based on the anticipated contract needs for the fiscal year 2026 at the staffing levels anticipated at the time . However, during the fiscal year, an 24 Item5.

unexpected vacancy at the front counter and a departure/vacancy of a principal planner (anticipated to be filled May 2026), impacted the anticipated budgeted amount. I n order to allow services to go on uninterrupted, staff request allocation of the remaining $50,000 of the budgeted amount for professional services to the contract through this First Amendment.

Additionally, staff recommend , in conjunction with the project applicant, leveraging the Consultant to review a draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for a private development project currently in review within the City. This review is anticipated to not exceed $20,000 and the project applicant would bear the cost of this review. In order to allow services to occur as timely and efficiently as possible for th e private development project, staff request the contract be amended to account for this service which would be a pass-through cost.

For compliance with the City’s adopted sixth cycle housing element, $160,0 00 of the requested First Amendment would account for the Consultant’s support on a special project to develop objective design standards for residential development within the City.

The remaining balance of the First Amendment would cover the anticipated costs for the fiscal year 2026/27 for both planning and engineering on -call services. The First Ame ndment would extend the contract date through the next fiscal year.

It is in the best interest of the City to execute the First Amendment to the Consulting Agreement with Rick Engineering and Development Company for on -call planning and engineering services in the amount of $688,700.

OUR APPROACH TO ON-CALL CONTRACTS. RICK knows
and understands the purpose and objecves of an on-
call service contract. Throughout our company’s history, we have successfully performed a variety of Task Order
services for on-call contracts for municipalies, government agencies, and academic ins tuons throughout California.

We understand the importance of on-call contracts in
supporng agency services, supplemen ng an agency’s
stafng capacity, and helping ensure the agency meets
its project processing goals and standards. This requires the on-call consultant to execute and deliver Task Orders to meet the agency’s goals, objecves, and schedule
deadlines. On-call service contracts require e ecve
coordina on of mulple disciplines, as well as managing
mulple Task Orders simultaneously.

Our Task Order work plans are grounded in our experience recognizing the complexity of e orts necessary to work
collabora vely with City sta . We work to understand
the goals and objecves of each Task Order assignment,
gather and assess data rela ng to the assignment. We
then apply our knowledge and experse to review and
process planning applica ons, prepare a dra plan, text, or ordinance, and revise as necessary to gain approval
and implementa on of the plan, text, or ordinance in as simple terms as necessary. We will ulize our considerable experience with today’s best pracces and contemporary
planning and engineering techniques.

OUR ON-CALL EXPERIENCE. Our team has amassed
a wealth of public agency knowledge and is extremely
sensive to the concerns agencies have regarding funding, crical project deadlines, and community response. In
our work as consulng planners and engineers for public
agencies, we view ourselves as an extension of the
municipality’s sta . We have gained the knowledge to
successfully act on a moment’s noce to address cizen
concerns, provide guidance and experse, and facilitate
design services to meet crical funding alloca on deadlines.

We are experienced in, and understand, the process of
preparing sta reports required for Governing board
reviews and approval processing.

SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN REVIEWS FOR CITY OF ESCONDIDO, CA.

Dear Ms. Procopio:

Pursuant to your request, we are pleased to submit this proposal to provide engineering support services for the review of land development Storm Water Quality Management Plans (SWQMP) submitted to the City of Escondido (City).

Rick Engineering Company (RICK) possesses unique qualifications to deliver these services. The staff at RICK played a crucial role in the development of the Model Best Management Practice (BMP) Design Manual, which served as a foundation for the Escondido Storm Water Design Manual. Additionally, RICK staff offers extension of staff services to various municipalities in the San Diego Region, supporting review efforts on Discretionary and Final Engineering permit applications. We have expertise in reviewing technical reports, including Drainage Studies, Priority Development Project SWQMPs, and grading and improvement plans.

In our ongoing, as-needed plan review consulting work, we consider ourselves an extension of the staff. We proactively coordinate internally across departments to identify project conditions and critical constraints early in the review process. We successfully act on a moment’s notice to address concerns, provide guidance and expertise on various land development project technical reviews, and assist in reviewing engineering construction documents to meet critical scheduling deadlines, such as Tentative Map and other permit expiration dates. We understand the need to manage multiple projects of varying complexity simultaneously. RICK provides similar plan review services to the County of San Diego Planning and Development Services, Cities of Chula Vista, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Santee, and Port of San Diego.

We understand the need for full cost recovery and that the plan review funding comes from developer trust account deposits. Having served in this role in recent years for multiple municipalities, RICK is acutely aware of the value and importance of providing close, individual attention to each project and working within time and budget constraints. 5620 Friars Road • San Diego, California 921 10-2596 • (619)291-0707 • www.rickengineering.com

Subject: Proposal for Planning & Environmental Services for General Plan Update to the Safety and Environmental Justice Elements
Dear Veronica,
The Planning, Environmental and Design Division of Rick Engineering (RICK) is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Escondido (City) for the proposed update of the Safety and Environmental Justice Elements of the City’s adopted General Plan. The first would be an update to the “Community Protection” Element and the second would be an update the “Community Health and Services” Element” as well as the related environmental analysis.

RICK provides an experienced, full-service planning, environmental and design team that will work with the City to successfully carry the Project through the approval process. RICK has an established record of planning, designing, and providing CEQA approval services and planning the development of complex General Plan Updates throughout southern California. We are committed to this Project and to delivering responsive project management, planning and environmental services, high-quality documents and plans, and strategic approaches for you to support an efficient and effective entitlement process.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
In 2022, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) awarded the City with a Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP) grant to conduct environmental review for a proposed General Plan Amendment which included the update to the Community Protection chapter (herein referred to as the Safety Element), and creation of a new Environmental Justice (EJ) Element through the modification of the Community Health and Services Element.

Since then, in response to changing legislation and emerging climate-related conditions associated with wildfires, the City has been updating the Safety Element of the General Plan.

Since adoption of the General Plan in 2012, the city has developed a Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) and a Climate Action Plan (CAP). These documents are intended to be integrated into the new Safety Element. Additional tasks and studies are also still needed, as

SAN DIEGO ORANGE RIVERSIDE SACRAMENTO SAN LUIS OBISPO SANTA CLARITA PHOENIX TUCSON LAS VEGAS DENVER Doc ID: 6c896a8a476de81cd8bae54008a675e65997c1d9

66 Item5.
detailed below in this Scope of Work (SOW). The Mitigation Plan and CAP are just two of the updates that will be included in the updated Element.

Since receipt of the SGIP grant, the City initiated work on the Safety and Environmental Justice Element updates with a meeting with the Planning Commission in December of 2021. A draft overview of the “Community Outreach Plan” and its elements was prepared. It contained a series of Outreach Events, stakeholder lists, definitions, and reiterated the message that the community would be consulted throughout the update process. The overview also included a timeline that separated the process into six distinct categories.
• The timeline began with research and preliminary outreach. This step included the “Community Outreach Plan” and a report back to Planning Commission on February 22, 2022 to discuss any feedback.
• Staff continued research and outreach conducting a series of Organized Stakeholder Roundtable meetings on April 15th, and April 20th of 2022. The city also took the progressive effort of conducting outreach to roughly 80 San Pasqual High Schools students in Human Geography and Government classes. These are the type of creative exercises RICK encourages and would like to explore given there are sufficient resources.
• In July, City staff presented to the Community Alliance for Escondido, and then hosted two “, At Large” community events on August 7, 2022, and August 11th, 2022, designed to update and report on the progress that had been made during the research and outreach phases of the plan.
• In the fall of 2022, a Draft Map identifying Environmental Justice Communities became available for review and comment. The draft preliminary analysis shows what areas within the City may be experiencing disproportionate pollution-burden based on State Guidance.

The purpose of this Scope of Work is to complete the preparation of the Safety and Environmental Justice Elements, conduct additional outreach efforts, and prepare the environmental document for the Project. The City certified a Program EIR along with the last comprehensive update of the General Plan in 2012 so RICK intends to prepare a CEQA Addendum to the 2021 General Plan EIR to address the proposed General Plan updates. An addendum is appropriate where a previously certified EIR has been prepared and some changes or revisions to the project are proposed, or the circumstances surrounding the project have changed, but none of the changes or revisions would result in significant new or substantially more severe environmental impacts, consistent with CEQA Section 21166 and State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162, 15163, 15164, 15168, and 15183.

The SGIP grant is still valid and in anticipation of a discretionary decision by SANDAG to extend the validity of the grant this upcoming June/July, the City of Escondido would like to demonstrate its readiness to engage in the remainder of the element updates and associated environmental review. Having RICK in place with a detailed plan to complete the Project within the allotted time 2 | Page

and budget will demonstrate the City’s commitment to utilizing the SGIP funds and its desire to maintain the highest quality of living for its residents.

PROJECT TEAM
Key staff and resources proposed for this Project include Brooke Peterson, AICP, Principal and Director of Planning + Design; Teresa Wilkinson, Director of Environmental Planning; and Vicrim Chima, Senior Planner. Brian Mooney, FAICP will serve as Senior Advisor and Quality Control reviewer. Brooke will provide key support for communications and coordination with the City of Escondido (and other agencies as applicable), strategy and oversight of preparation of Element Updates and outreach efforts, and facilitation lead for any assigned community outreach. Vicrim Chima, Senior Planner, will serve as assistant Project Manager supporting Brooke, preparing the Safety and Environmental Justice Elements of the General Plan and revisions to the Project application based on City review, supporting public outreach, and will provide additional research, GIS, and planning support as needed. Teresa Wilkinson will serve as the environmental technical lead providing oversight and preparation of the CEQA document.

Additional support will be provided as needed by other RICK staff in the preparation of documents and plans including GIS and Planning.

SCOPE OF WORK
RICK has a proven track of updating General Plan Elements using a city’s existing general plan as a starting point. Leveraging material that is still relevant and compliant with state law and in alignment with General Plan Guiding Principles, RICK will identify where and how to bolster those areas of the existing elements which may not comply with current standards. RICK will identify and conduct technical studies, perform analysis, create policies, and implementation plans with mitigation measures to bring those elements into compliance. Most importantly, RICK is committed to continuing the public outreach that is the basis of any element we develop for the City of Escondido.

TASK 1: PLANNING - PREPARATION OF COMMUNITY PROTECTION (SAFETY ELEMENT) & ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT
Working from efforts already conducted by City staff, RICK will create a concise, user-friendly document with appropriate graphics, diagrams, tables, and text that efficiently and clearly convey necessary information and vision to the user. The final document will be a well-structured and useful tool for City staff, decision makers, other agencies, and the general public. The updated General Plan Elements will comply with California law governing the preparation of General Plan updates and be consistent with the Visions and Purpose of the City of Escondido General Plan.

1.1 Audit Existing Community Protection Element (Safety Element), Existing Community Health and Safety Element (Environmental Justice Element), Existing Implementation Plan, Appendices, Table of Contents review of Outreach Materials and Staff Materials prepared in alignment with the Outreach Program and Annual General Plan Reports

Attachment "2"
68 Item5.

RICK will review the contents of the existing elements and determine what material can be used and what materials, policies, and diagrams are valid. As described in the project background, The City of Escondido expended significant time and resources informing appointed bodies, preparing and conducting community stakeholder meetings and planning, advertising and performing community-wide outreach. The City also began drafting goals and policies language for both elements and identifying and performing any required technical reports, maps, or procedural documents for specific hazard responses that may need updating. RICK proposes to leverage as much of the City produced material that adheres to current state on local regulatory standards and focus on those that require updating, in an effective to minimize costs, use existing work material and focus our scope in areas where the City was unable to complete the work, either updating necessary technical studies, producing policy language, or complying with the requirements of current state legislation.

RICK will review existing policies, programs and mitigation as well comprehensively review all feedback received during the public outreach process which occurred in 2022-2023.

Deliverable(s):
‐ Inventory of Policies and Diagrams that can be removed/relocated from the new Safety and Environmental Justice Element; Identification of policies, plans, diagrams, maps, and narrative summaries that will require update or modification to comply with new state legislation. Summary and prioritization of organization and content for the updated elements based on community feedback. All future efforts in planning and drafting the updated elements will be rooted in responses and the concerns of the community.

1.2 Administrative Draft Safety Element

1.2.1 The Safety Element is required to meet nine (9) separate statutory requirements organized into nine (9) subsections: 65302 (g) (1) - (g) (9). Beyond demonstrating compliance with statutory requirements, this section will contain a revised purpose and scope of the Safety Element, describing its additions, and defining the purpose of the Safety Element. • Update Additional Safety Topics Contexts: RICK will modify the existing “Community Protection” element to modify, as deemed necessary, its existing structure, narrative, and diagrams. It will organize, where deemed necessary, new contexts, goals, and policies based on current database analysis, the most recent technical studies, and consultation with the lead agencies responsible for implementation of the various preparedness guidelines. New contexts would include Hazard Mitigation Planning and Disaster Preparedness; Wildfires (Cal FIRE’s Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP) and Cal OES’s My Hazards, Fire Responsibility Areas; Geologic and Seismic Hazards; Flood Hazards; Climate Change, where RICK will incorporate the appropriate goals and thresholds related to the adopted CAP; Hazardous Materials, Law Enforcement, and Airport Hazards.
4 | Page
Doc ID: 6c896a8a476de81cd8bae54008a675e65997c1d9
Attachment "2"
69 Item5.
• Goals and Policies for the Safety Element. RICK, will review, and in some cases depending on the findings of the audit, revise staff drafted goals, policies, and plans defined in the Purpose and Scope and develop new working material where needed, prioritizing the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and the Climate Action Plan (“E-CAP”) updated in 2021, which provides a robust examination of social equality and Environment Justice through the climate adaptation plan lens. RICK will update, as needed each of the defined categories in the element and where necessary will conduct its own context and technical updates to existing conditions reports including seismicity terminology; geology and soils conditions; documentation on extreme heat days, annual average maximum temperature, annual precipitation, dry spells, average area burnt; and public health like COVID-19. All content developed by staff or RICK will incorporate the feedback received during the previously conducted outreach. • Administration and Implementation. RICK will provide an implementation plan and define administrative standards describing how the various components of the Safety Element will be implemented. The plan will define the requirements or standards that need to be reviewed on an annual basis, assign the administration of those reviews to a lead agency or specific City Department that are responsible for monitoring defined benchmark goals.

Revisions to the Administrative Draft will be made based on comments received from the City.

This scope assumes that one consolidated set of comments will be submitted to RICK. We are assuming one round of review of the Administrative Draft by the City before element submittal in draft form. During this time, up to four meetings with the city are expected to review and discuss comments and responses. This scope and fee assume one consolidated set of comments from the city prior to initiating the preparation of the next draft of the document.

Deliverable(s):
‐ Administrative Draft Safety Element I (1 electronic version in MSWord for editing purposes and 1 electronic version in PDF format)

1.3 Administrative Draft Community Health & Safety (Environmental Justice Element) To ensure the existing Community Health & Safety section complies with SB 1000 it will need to be reordered and reformatted and its diagrams and policies will need to address the following key elements: Pollution Exposure and Air Quality; Public Facilities; Food Access; Safe and Sanitary Homes; Physical Activity; Community Engagement; and Improvement Plans for Disadvantaged Communities.

1.3.1: Introduction. This section will provide a summary of the Statutory requirements that the Environmental Justice Element is required to comply with:
• The Climate Action Plan. The City of Escondido maintains existing policy documents that include social equity frameworks, although limited in context. The Escondido Climate Action Plan (“E-CAP”), updated in 2021, provides a robust examination of social equity and environmental justice through the climate adaptation planning lens. 5 | Page
Doc ID: 6c896a8a476de81cd8bae54008a675e65997c1d9
Attachment "2"
70 Item5.

However, as it relates to the updated Community Health and Safety Plan the E-CAP contains an Adaptation Measure which addresses the need to “hardwire social equity and environmental justice into new programs and projects.” • RICK is aware of the adaptation measure the E-CAP utilized to create a Social Equality and Health Index Map intended to identify vulnerable neighborhoods needing additional focus and priority. These tracts are labeled “Priority Investment Neighborhoods” within the E-CAP. Using the Social Equity and Health Index Map, the City prioritizes neighborhoods with a CES 50 percent (50%) ranking for priority investment. In effect, the Climate Action Plan has exceeded the threshold for those communities that are considered “disadvantaged communities.” Any Environmental Justice document and associated environmental analysis will consider the findings in the Climate Action Plan and the adaptation measure.

RICK will reorganize, reformat, and revise City produced goals and policies depending on the amount of work completed by the Planning staff thus far and the existing material that is compliant with state law. This update will be an opportunity to provide the element with more structure, less supported by narrative but supported by specific goals, policies, and implementation plans. RICK understands the City has made material progress in the drafting of Environmental Justice Policies and analysis of disadvantaged communities as defined in the locally adopted Climate Action Plan. RICK will base the content used in its approach on the Outreach conducted by the City of Vista over 2022 and 2023 forming a design and content to the document that reflects Vista community input. During this time, up to four meetings with the Client/Project Team are expected to review and discuss comments and responses. This scope and fee assume one consolidated set of comments from the Client prior to initiating preparation of the next draft of the document.

Deliverable(s):
‐ Administrative Draft Environmental Justice Element (1 electronic version in MSWord for editing purposes and 1 electronic version in PDF format)

1.4 Geographic Information Systems Support
RICK offers the technical expertise to import and create any number of GIS diagrams or maps.

This proposal assumes more than a single task which was previously discussed, related to mapping evacuations distances and available routes during evacuation scenarios. Maps and diagrams are integral portions of each of the mandated safety topics: Hazard and Mitigation Planning, Disaster Preparedness, Emergency Response, Wildfires, Geological and Seismic Hazards, Flooding, Climate Change, Hazardous materials, Law Enforcement, Fire Protection, and Airport Hazards. The Environmental Justice Element has the same requirements and would need information on Pollution Exposure and Air Quality, Public Facilities, Food Access, Safe and Sanitary Homes, Physical Activity, Community Engagement, Improvement plans for Disadvantaged Communities.

This task includes preparation of two Screencheck Drafts of the Safety Element and the Environmental Justice Element. RICK will prepare the First Screencheck Draft for staff review.

We also assume that policy decisions, language, and comments from federal, state, regional, local public and private entities have been addressed and consensus reached by City Staff on the form of the documents language and visual features. We are assuming one round of review of the First Screencheck Draft based on one consolidated set of comments from the City before preparation of the adoption process.

A Second Screencheck Draft will then be prepared once a consolidated set of City comments has been received and labeled “Draft” and will be used for resubmittal with the updates to the elements from advisory, decision-making bodies or public outreach.

During this task, up to six meetings with City staff are expected to review and discuss comments, negotiate, and resolve project issues and questions.

Deliverable(s):
‐ First and Second Screencheck Drafts for Safety and Environmental Justice Elements (1 electronic version in PDF format)

1.6 Quality Assurance and Check of Final Draft – Safety and Environmental Justice Elements
A revised version of the Safety and Environmental Justice Elements will be prepared and labeled “Final Draft” and will be used for the adoption hearing process.

Deliverable(s):

Final Draft Safety and Environmental Justice Elements (1 reproducible original, 5 hard copies, and an electronic version in PDF format)
TASK 2: PUBLIC OUTREACH

2.1 Coordination with Other Agencies
We will reinitiate and coordinate with state agencies, regional agencies, non-professional, and business organizations, as well as property owners, renters, and the workforce. The City of Escondido outlined an Outreach Plan that RICK will adhere to and expand if necessary. 7 | Page

Attachment "2"
72 Item5.

2.2 Stakeholder and Resident Outreach
The City of Escondido prepared a proactive schedule of events, meetings, and informational documents (see project understanding above) when it began its update efforts. RICK would leverage much of the material, feedback and policy construction that began with the Kickoff Meeting and was collected in the preparation of the Draft Community Outreach Feeback and Engagement Plan. RICK would re-engage the list of stakeholders that hosted Organized Stakeholder Roundtable Meetings as well as the community at large.

Any Public Outreach would need to occur after the audit and the draft review of both Elements.

Another meeting with organized stake holders, at least one “At-Large” Community Event. RICK has experience in planning, designing, and creating outreach activities that engage audiences, allow everyone’s voice to be heard and provide the basis for the long-range planning work we do.

Maintain and update the existing city website with relevant materials to the Project. Develop the site as an active, up to date platform that can be used to gauge interest, collect comments, or post ideas.

Deliverable (s):
‐ Two organized outreach events, a smaller engagement to re-engage with the previous Roundtable Stakeholders and an “At Large” public engagement exercise based on the events that were previously held demonstrating how RICK has modified and bridged the existing and Community Safety and Health and Community Protection elements into an updated and more current document, where those changes have occurred, and provide the opportunity for citizens to see their contributions in writing.

TASK 3: CEQA DOCUMENTATION
The Safety Element includes important information in the General Plan regarding the potential for hazards to occur in and around the City and establishes policies for coordination during emergency events. The Environmental Justice Element will prioritize goals for the City’s “disadvantaged” communities to achieve environmental justice. The proposed Safety and Environmental Justice Element updates would have no physical impact on the environment, as it consists of updates to goals and policies. Consequently, the proposed Project would not cause any new significant environmental impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant environmental impacts disclosed in the General Plan EIR.

Impact significance will be determined after consideration of the beneficial effects of proposed policies designed to avoid or reduce environmental impacts. Because a General Plan Update is intended to be “self-mitigating” (meaning that policies and implementation measures would be designed to avoid or minimize environmental impacts to the extent feasible), mitigation measures may not be necessary. However, if the environmental analysis shows that impacts of the Safety and Environmental Justice Elements to air quality, GHGs, and noise remain significant after the implementation of proposed policies, we will alert the City regarding the need for a different level 8 | Page
Doc ID: 6c896a8a476de81cd8bae54008a675e65997c1d9
Attachment "2"
73 Item5.
of environmental review. A budget augmentation would be necessary to support the preparation of a Supplemental EIR or a different CEQA document.

3.1 Prepare Environmental Checklist
The Addendum will include an attachment with an environmental checklist that contains substantial evidence supporting that the proposed Safety and Environmental Justice Elements would not result in any new or substantially more severe environmental impacts from those identified in the General Plan EIR. The Addendum and checklist will serve as the appropriate CEQA compliance document and will be prepared consistent with the requirements of Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines

3.2 Prepare Draft Addendum
RICK will prepare a Draft EIR Addendum including all sections as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. A comprehensive project description will be developed in coordination with the project team. RICK will coordinate closely with the project team, technical experts, and City staff to ensure General Plan policies and development standard updates are written to self-mitigate or avoid environmental impacts to the extent feasible. A mitigation framework will be prepared, as appropriate, to maximize CEQA streamlining opportunities for future projects consistent with the General Plan.

For each of the impact topics, our approach will be to characterize the existing physical conditions and pertinent regulatory framework, then describe the future conditions resulting from implementation of the proposed General Plan Updates to the Safety Element and preparation of the new Environmental Justice Element. This scope of work assumes the analysis will be primarily qualitative and presented at a level of detail consistent with a program level of analysis. Should the analysis warrant a quantitative approach for other topics following development of the Safety and Environmental Justice Elements, we will work with the City on a recommended approach.

Following receipt of one consolidated set of City comments on the Administrative Draft Addendum sections, we will discuss and clarify specific comments, as needed, and prepare appropriate revisions to the document in a Screen check Draft Addendum for staff review.

The Administrative and Screen check Draft Addendum will be submitted in PDF and Word format.

3.3 Prepare Public Review Draft Addendum
Per the CEQA Guidelines, an addendum does not need to be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the Safety and Environmental Justice Element documents prior to making a decision on the project. For purposes of this scope, RICK will prepare a Public Review Draft Addendum for distribution by the City.

3.4 Prepare Final Addendum
9 | Page
Doc ID: 6c896a8a476de81cd8bae54008a675e65997c1d9
Attachment "2"
74 Item5.

RICK will update the Addendum following public review. A final Addendum will be prepared for attachment to the General Plan EIR.

Deliverables:
‐ Draft Environmental Checklist
‐ Draft/Public Review Draft/Final Draft Addendum
TASK 4: PRESENTATION OF REPORTS AND MATERIALS

4.1 - 4.3 Preparation of Planning Commission and Council Meeting The Planning Commission appears to have been heavily involved in the update process. RICK will present one Planning Commission Informational Item, introducing the new scope of work, our strategy, and plan moving forward. We would then prepare for a second meeting with the Planning Commission with the intent of gaining a positive recommendation of the elements and the environmental document to the City Council to adopt the updates to the General Plan Elements. The final meetings would represent the adoption of the elements and environmental findings by City Council. There is a possibility such an item may require two hearings.

Deliverable(s):
‐ Up to two (2) Planning Commission and two (2) City Council hearings

5.0 Project Management
This task assumes that RICK will support overall project management and entitlement processing services needed to secure project approvals from the City of Escondido. This includes time and effort necessary to provide strategy, direction and coordination to the Client, the Project Team and the City of Escondido to prepare the comprehensive effort to reinvigorate and carry this update process to its completion.

Brooke Peterson is experienced at managing complex private and public multi-disciplinary project teams of in-house and subconsultant technical experts throughout Southern California and develops strong relationships with City staff. Brooke will oversee the project’s day-to-day operations, including coordinating internal staff time, overseeing preparation and review of all work products, ensuring quality control, tracking and adhering to the project schedule and budget, and coordination with the client and technical consultants as well as City staff and other agencies.

Brooke as Planning lead and other staff as necessary will participate in progress meetings with the Project Team as necessary throughout the process to discuss project issues, preparation of products, determine next steps and address any anticipated potential challenges in advance.

Brooke will also facilitate weekly progress conference calls to provide consistent project progress updates and communication to avoid project issues to the extent possible. Brooke will also 10 | Page

coordinate monthly invoices. She will be supported by assistant project manager Vicrim Chima, Senior Planner.

CEQA Coordination
RICK’s environmental team will provide general services as the project undergoes environmental processing. Management tasks will consist of formal and informal communication with the City, the project team, and other applicable agencies. Communication will take the form of telephone conversations, videoconferencing, and e-mail.

5.1 - 5.2 Kick Off Meeting/Client Meetings
In addition to the public meetings noted above this task allows up to eight additional meetings with City staff and other agencies as necessary throughout the course of the project. This also includes coordination time, biweekly Project Team meetings, and other communications as necessary to move the project along expeditiously. These meetings will be attended by Brooke Peterson and/or other staff as necessary. If additional virtual City/agency meetings are required, in-person meetings, or longer working session virtual meetings, are requested, the cost of the meeting would be billed on a time and materials basis at the standard rates shown in Attachment A.

Deliverables:
‐ Up to 14 Agencies meetings (assumes 1-hour virtual meetings each and a half hour of preparation and minute production)
‐ Biweekly Project Team meetings and miscellaneous meetings/communications FEE
RICK will perform the services listed above for project management and planning – for $172,660.00 as shown in the attached cost estimate (Attachment A), plus additional time and materials for additional meetings and/or public outreach support and meeting attendance. Labor fees will be billed according to our current Schedule of Hourly Rates (Attachment B) with a labor budget not-to-exceed the amounts indicated without additional authorization.

Fees and expenses will be billed monthly as the work progresses and the net amount shall be due within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the invoice in the City’s office.

DEPARTMENT
Development Services

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-47 authorizing the Mayor to execute, on behalf of the City, a Second Amendment to the Consulting Agreement dated February 21, 2024 with STC Traffic, Inc. (“STC”) in the amount of $26,600 for the South Escondido Access Improvements Project (“Project”) which shall bring the current contract price to $486,176 , and authorizing the City Engineer to execute additional amendments if needed for up to $30,000 which will bring the total contract price to $516,176.

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Kevin Snyder, Development Services Director and Jason Christman, Interim City Engineer)
Presenter: Jason Christman, Interim City Engineer
ESSENTIAL SERVICE – Yes, Public Works/Infrastructure
COUNCIL PRIORITY – Improve Public Safety

FISCAL ANALYSIS
In 2023, the Federal Highway Administration ( “FHWA”), through the Highway Infrastructure Program (“HIP”), allocated $1.4 million to the City of Escondido for this Project, referred to as the South Escondido Access Improvements Project as part of the Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending (“CPFCDS”) Program. There are adequate funds in the CIP budget to fund this Project which was titled Centre City Parkway Signals Project in the adopted CIP Budget.

The additional budget being recommended by Staff is adequate to perform the extended scope of work and services required to complete the additional environmental evaluations as required by Caltrans in order to receive NEPA and CEQA approval . With the addition of the proposed Second Amendment, the total cumulative agreement price would increase to $ 486,176, with an additional $30,000 as needed to complete the design to be authorized by the City Engineer for a total contract price of $516,176.

BACKGROUND
The Project will improve the intersections of Centre City Parkway/South Escondido Boulevard and Centre City Parkway/Brotherton to control movements through the intersections and calm traffic with the goal of increasing safety, improving pedestrian access, and minimizing impacts on traffic congestion.

The City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-132 authorizing execution of a Consulting Agreement with STC on December 6, 2023 for engineering design services for the Project. Included in the scope of work under this contract was a preliminary evaluation for:

1. Analyzing traffic signal alternatives at the intersection of Centre City Parkway/Brotherton;

2. Analyzing intersection layout alternatives for the intersection of Centre City Parkway/Brotherton;

3. Analyzing intersection layout alternatives for the intersection of Centre City Parkway/S outh Escondido Boulevard with a focus on restricting left turns and adjusting the signing and striping around this intersection; and

4. Performing a traffic corridor analysis.

The goal of the preliminary evaluation was to determine which alternatives would be mo st effective in addressing the City’s needs of increasing pedestrian and vehicular safety and improving pedestrian access while minimizing congestion in the area.

Upon completion of the preliminary evaluation , it was determined that installing a pedestrian signal at the intersection of Centre City Parkway/Brotherton and installing a traffic signal at the intersection of Centre City Parkway/South Escondido Boulevard would meet all of the Project goals of increasing safety, improving pedestrian access, and wil l result in min imizing congestion in the corridor . Upon completion and submittal of the Preliminary Environmental Survey to Caltrans, the City was informed that Caltrans is 101
Item6.

requiring the City to perform a Cultural Resources Technical Study which was not an ticipated in the original scope of services needed.

An amendment to the agreement with STC, the engineering design consultant, is requested based on the additional requirements being imposed by Caltrans in order to obtain environmental approval for the Project. Staff recommends a contract amendment with STC in the amount of $ 26,600 to complete the additional study and survey in order to gain NEPA and CEQA approval for the Project.

Project Status:

The Project is in the design phase , with the 90% design lev el documents currently under review . The amendment will allow STC to complete the environmental requirements in order to obtain NEPA and CEQA approval of the Project, which are both required in order to receive the earmarked funds through the CPFCDS Program. In the event that additional studies or work is determined to be required to complete the design of the Project and successfully obtain the earmarked funds, we would like authorization for the City Engineer to sign future amendments not to exceed the sum of $30,000 beyond the cumulative contract price following the currently proposed Second Amendment.

Subject: Contract Augment to Provide Additional Environmental Consulting Services for the South Escondido Access Improvements Project
Dear Christian:

HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. (HELIX) is submitting this contract augment (Augment) to STC Traffic (Client) to provide additional environmental consulting services for the South Escondido Access Improvements Project (project) located in the City of Carlsbad, San Diego County. Under our original contract dated February 27, 2024, and amended on July 8, 2025, HELIX outlined its services, including National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Approval, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Notice of Exemption, a Cultural Resources Letter Report, an Optional Initial Site Assessment, and Project Management/Meetings (Tasks 1 through 5). The following scope of services provides additional tasks for this project.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
The additional services to be completed by HELIX include the preparation of additional cultural resources documentation. These additional services were identiﬁed by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) as required to be completed as part of the NEPA clearance process for the project based on unanticipated information resulting from the cultural resources records search and archival research completed for the project. Based on that, the original alignment of Highway 395 is mapped within the project area and extends through the current alignments of both South Escondido Boulevard and Centre City Parkway. Highway 395, as a whole, is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, and there are contributing and non-contributing segments.

The segments in the project area have not been
evaluated. Due to this, Caltrans requires the additional analysis and documentation, which was not anticipated and is not within our authorized scope of work.

This scope assumes that report deliverables will be electronic, in Microsoft Word and/or Portable Document Format (PDF), unless otherwise noted.

Resolution No. 2026-47
Exhibit "A"

Page 7 of 13 ends

111
Item6.

Task 6 Cultural Resources Technical Studies
Task 6.1 A rea of Potential Effects Map
HELIX will prepare an Area of Potential Eﬀects (APE) Map that incorporates the limits of physical disturbance for the project, appropriate buﬀers from the limits of disturbance, and construction staging areas. HELIX will revise the APE map one time based on comments from Caltrans review. It is assumed that the APE will not be extended to include components of Highway 395 outside of the project area.

Task 6.2 Historic Property Survey Report/Archaeological Survey Report HELIX will prepare a Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR) and an Archaeological Survey Report (ASR) in the required Caltrans format using the appropriate content and format guidelines on the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (SER) website. The additional cultural resources scope required for the HPSR and ASR reports will include contacting the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for a Sacred Lands File Check and a list of Native American contacts and conducting outreach to the Native American representatives recommended by the NAHC to solicit information regarding potential concerns. A ﬁeld survey will also be conducted to observe and record visible archaeological resources or cultural material within the APE and to document the Highway 395 resource within the APE. A Native American Monitor, contracted through HELIX, will participate in the survey eﬀort. It is assumed that the City of Escondido, on behalf of Caltrans, will conduct any required Native American consultation and provide the results to HELIX for inclusion in the HPSR. HELIX will revise the HPSR and ASR two times based on comments from Caltrans and City of Escondido. The preparation and implementation of an Extended Phase I (XPhI) plan/report or Phase II evaluation plan/report if unevaluated, potentially signiﬁcant archaeological sites are identiﬁed within the APE, is not included in this scope. Any cultural resources evaluated as signiﬁcant or considered to be historic properties for the purposes of the project would either need to be protected from any potential eﬀects by establishment, or project impacts mitigated through appropriate measures.

Task 6.3 Historical Resources Evaluation Report
The historic alignment of Highway 395 is mapped as running through the current alignments of both South Escondido Boulevard and Centre City Parkway. Highway 395 has been recorded as P-37-033557, and portions of the road were previously evaluated in 2018. However, the segment within the project area has not been previously recorded and evaluated. Based on this, HELIX will prepare a Historical Resources Evaluation Report (HRER) for the project. The HRER will include methodology, documentation of the segment, a brief historic context, and results of the evaluation of the segment under National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) criteria. One built environment Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 Form update will be prepared. The scope assumes that the segments of Highway 395 within the project area are ineligible for listing in the NRHP and CRHR.

Deliverables:
• Draft and Final APE Map
• Draft, Revised, and Final HPSR/ASR
• Draft, Revised, and Final HRER

The following Terms and Conditions are made a part of the letter agreement/proposal (Agreement) between HELIX and Client and supersede any conflicting Terms and Conditions proposed by Client, unless HELIX agrees to such Terms and Conditions in writing.

ARTICLE 1. SCOPE OF WORK AND STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE
HELIX will perform the work outlined in the Agreement and any services approved by Client under Article 3 (the Services). HELIX will strive to perform the Services in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by reputable members of HELIX’s profession practicing at the time under similar conditions in the geographic area of Client’s project. HELIX makes no other representation, expressed or implied, nor no other warranty or guarantee under this Agreement or in any report, opinion or document provided hereunder.

ARTICLE 2. COMPENSATION
Client agrees to pay HELIX compensation for the Services in accordance with the rates set forth in Exhibit B. HELIX shall invoice Client monthly or as otherwise agreed. Client agrees to pay HELIX within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice. If payment is not paid when due, then such sum shall bear interest at 1½ percent per month on the unpaid balance, not to exceed the maximum legal rate of interest.

ARTICLE 3. CHANGES AND ADDITIONAL WORK
Client may request or HELIX may recommend or request, verbally or in writing, a change in the scope in excess of or in addition to the Services (“additional work”). As soon as practical after such request or recommendation, HELIX shall forward to Client a proposal of the costs for such additional work and any adjustment to the payment schedule and time for performance. Client shall approve or disapprove the proposal, in writing. If approved, HELIX shall perform the extra work in accordance with the Terms and Conditions herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if Client verbally approves the extra work and HELIX has performed the same, then Client agrees to pay HELIX the amount and pursuant to the payment schedule as set forth in its proposal.

ARTICLE 4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Recognizing the relative risks and benefits of the project for which the Services are being performed, Client agrees to limit the liability of HELIX, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and subcontractors for any and all injuries, claims, losses, expenses, or damages (including incidental or consequential damages) arising out of or in any way related to the Services or the project hereunder, to the lesser of (a) fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) or (b) the total compensation for the Services hereunder. Such liability includes HELIX’s negligence, errors or omissions, strict liability, and breach of contract or warranty. Any claim against HELIX hereunder shall be brought within one (1) year of the completion of the Services herein.

ARTICLE 5. TERMINATION
Either party may terminate this Agreement, either in whole or in part, without cause, by giving the other party thirty (30) days written notice. In such event, Client will pay HELIX for all work performed by it prior to the notice of termination.

In the event of a default, the non-defaulting party shall give the defaulting party ten (10) days’ written notice of default. “Default” includes Client’s failure to pay HELIX sums due, including additional work pursuant to Article 3. The defaulting party’s failure to cure the breach within said ten- (10-) day period shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and termination of the Agreement.

ARTICLE 6. SUSPENSION OF WORK
Client may suspend the Services, in whole or in part, by giving HELIX reasonable, written notice specifying the work to be suspended.

Upon receipt of notice, HELIX shall suspend the work requested and Client shall pay for all Services through the date of suspension and any costs incurred by HELIX in suspending the work.

ARTICLE 7. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
HELIX agrees not to disclose to any third person, nor use for the benefit of anyone other than Client, any data, records, financial information, or other confidential or proprietary information, marked as such in writing, arising out of or related to the performance of the Services (Proprietary Information).

ARTICLE 9. FORCE MAJEURE
Client will grant extensions of time and increase the compensation to HELIX to the extent that HELIX’s performance hereof is delayed due to an uncontrollable force. The term “uncontrollable force” shall mean any cause beyond the control of HELIX making it impracticable or unable to perform such obligation, including but not limited to natural catastrophes, restraint by court order or public authority, and action or nonaction by, or inability to obtain the necessary authorizations or approvals from, any governmental agency or authority which, by exercise of due diligence, HELIX (a) could not reasonably have been expected to obtain or (b) has been unable to overcome. HELIX will notify Client immediately of any such delay or anticipated delay, and Client will extend the date of performance for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay and will make an equitable adjustment to the compensation in Article 2.

HELIX will attempt to obtain the requested coverage or limits, and Client agrees to pay for any additional costs of insurance within ten (10) days of the date of invoice.

ARTICLE 11. AVAILABILITY OF LAND, DATA, AND DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS (for contracts involving field or construction services)
Client shall furnish the site or obtain access to any site not owned by Client. Client shall notify HELIX of any encumbrances or restrictions specifically related to use of the site with which HELIX must comply in performing the Services. Client will obtain in a timely manner and pay for any fees or charges associated with site access or the encumbrances. Client shall furnish HELIX with a current legal description of the lands upon which the Services are to be performed and Client’s interest therein as necessary for giving notice of or filing a mechanic’s lien against such lands.

HELIX may rely upon the accuracy of the data contained in Reports and Drawings furnished to it by Client or Client’s engineer. Reports and Drawings are defined as (a) reports of explorations and tests of subsurface conditions at or contiguous to the site that have been used by the engineer in documents provided to HELIX; and (b) drawings of physical conditions in or relating to existing surface or subsurface structures at or contiguous to the site (including underground facilities) that Client or Client’s engineer has used in preparing documents provided to HELIX.

If HELIX believes that any subsurface or physical conditions at or contiguous to the site that are uncovered or revealed either (a) is of such a nature as to establish that data on which HELIX is entitled to rely as provided above is materially inaccurate; or (b) is of such a nature as to require a change in the contract; or (c) differs materially from that shown or indicated in documents provided to HELIX by Client or others; or (d) is of an unusual nature and differs materially from conditions ordinarily encountered in work of the character provided for in this contract, then HELIX shall promptly, after becoming aware thereof and before further disturbing the subsurface or physical conditions or performing any work in connection therewith (except in the event of an emergency), notify Client or its engineer in writing about such conditions. Thereafter, Client or Client’s engineer will investigate the conditions. If the existence of the differing site conditions causes an increase in HELIX’s cost of or time required for performance of the work, HELIX will receive an equitable adjustment to the contract price and schedule.

HELIX will not be responsible for any hazardous environmental conditions uncovered or revealed at the site. If such conditions are encountered, HELIX shall immediately stop all work and notify Client or Client’s engineer. HELIX shall not be required to resume work in connection with such conditions until Client has obtained any required permits and advised HELIX in writing of such conditions and any affected area is or has been rendered safe for the resumption of work; or has specified any special conditions under which such work may be resumed safely; and HELIX shall receive an adjustment to the contract schedule and price accordingly.

ARTICLE 12. GOVERNING LAW AND ARBITRATION
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by and pursuant to the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.

BACKGROUND
The California Center for the Arts ( “CCAE”) was built in 1990 and has been serving the community since its opening. The event center is a 12 -acre campus that functions as the cultural hub of North San Diego County, offering performing arts, visual arts, and educational programming. It features a 1,500 -seat concert hall, a 400-seat theater, a contemporary art museum, art studios, and a conference center. The 118
Item7.

center provides ke y functions and activities to the community including performing arts, visual arts museum, community events, education events and various types of venues and fairs for the community.

On May 14, 2025 , the existing CCAE orchestra stage l ifts were evaluated and inspected , and it was determined that the existing motors had outlived their life cycle and further maintenance would only be a temporary repair for the failing motors. Subsequently, City staff reached out to perspective vendors and obtained quotes on repairs and replacement of stage lift motors. Public Works / Building Maintenance staff evaluated the required work and determined it was in the best interest of the City to replace the stage lift motors and obtain a manufacturer’s full warranty.

During the FY 2026 budget process, the Concert Hall orchestra stage lift motor replacement was funded in the amount of $275,000 in Measure I funds. After evaluating the entire orchestra stage lift pro ject at the CCAE, staff realized the savings if the project included the orchestra lifts at the Concert Hall and the Main Theatre due to the economies of scale. Staff projected a minimum savings of $75,000 by combining the CCAE Concert Hall and Main Theatre orchestra stage lift motor replacement projects.

On February 17 , 202 6, a notice inviting bids for the replacement for orchestra stage l ifts was duly published. On March 23, 2026, one (1) sealed bid was received in response to the advertised request for bids for this Project. The confirmed total for the bid items are listed below:

Gala Systems Inc. $753,800.00
Staff evaluated the proposed bid and has determined that the bid submitted by Gala Systems Inc. to be the lowest most responsive and responsible bid received on March 23, 2026. Staff recommends awarding a Professional Services Agreement and construction contract in the amount of $753,800.00 to Gala Systems Inc. to replace the Orchestra Lifts at the California Center for Arts, as shown in Attachment “A”.
