STUDY SESSION

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MAY 13, 2024

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM SUBJECT: STUDY SESSION: FY 2024-25 PROPOSED BUDGET AND SCHEDULE OF

FEES AND CHARGES
SUMMARY: Town staff will conduct a study session to review the FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget and Fees and Charges. This is a study session, and no action is required.

OVERVIEW
The Town’s Proposed Operating and Capital Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 is $75.9 million for all funds, a decrease of 4% from the FY 2023-24 projection. The decrease is primarily due to the timing of capital project spending.

The Proposed Budget complies with the Town’s policies and guidelines. In addition, the General Fund, Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds, and the Asset Replacement Fund reserves comply with Town reserve policies and debt covenants.

A key factor in setting the FY 2024-25 budget is the stability of the property tax assessment roll.

Property tax, the Town’s largest General Fund revenue source, is projected to grow 4% based on the FY 2024-25 tax assessment roll. In-lieu Vehicle License Fees (VLF) revenue presents risk to FY 2024-25 revenues and is budgeted using the latest estimates available.

The City Council goal-setting session identified and prioritized the goals for the coming year. Many of the goals are long-term projects that will continue in future years. In FY 2024-25, the Town will continue focusing on implementing the policies and programs for the adopted Housing Element.

GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is the primary fund and accounts for the direct services that the Town provides to its citizens. The General Fund budget includes funding for key services such as public safety and recreation through the Hillsborough City School District (HRec), building and planning services, general government, and contributions to Burlingame and San Mateo libraries for Hillsborough residents to use.

The FY 2024-25 General Fund expenditures net of transfers is $35.3 million, an increase of $1.7 million (5%) over the FY 2023-24 projection. The increase is primarily due to salary and CalPERS cost increases, three new headcount additions, a Central County Fire Department JPA contribution, and one-time project funding. FY 2024-25 General Fund revenues are projected to be $36.0 million, a $0.4 million (1%) increase, primarily from property taxes, offset by non-recurring one-time revenues received in FY 2023-24.

Agenda Staff Report - Hillsborough City Council
May 13, 2024

The FY 2024-25 General Fund proposed budget reflects a net draw on General Fund reserves of $0.1 million.

GENERAL FUND RESERVE
The FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget reflects a $30.7 million General Fund reserve maintained for contingencies per policy and other programs. To balance the financial picture, the Town also has long-term pension liabilities of $36.1 million and other post-employment benefits liabilities of $9.9 million.

The Town’s General Fund Reserve Policy states that a minimum of 30% with a goal of 50% of expenditures should be reserved for contingencies such as a natural disaster, economic downturn, state revenue takeaways, pandemic, or other significant fiscal impact. The contingency reserve is projected to total $18 million in the FY 2024-25 budget. The General Fund reserve categories are proposed as follow for FY 2024-25:
• Contingency reserve at policy level – 30% minimum reserve – $10.8 million. • Contingency reserve – up to 50% – $7.2 million.
• Restricted reserve- Section 115 pension trust (General Fund portion) – held to mitigate the future budget impact for the cost of pension liabilities - $5.0 million. • Assigned for capital – storm drain and tree replacement - $2.7 million. • Assigned for the Highline Water Project – $5.0 million.

WATER AND SEWER ENTERPRISE FUNDS
The Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds are funded primarily from user rates and reserves.

Water Fund
The FY 2024-25 Water Fund revenue is projected at $17.2 million, a $1.0 million (6.2%) increase over the FY 2023-24 primarily attributable to an average 5% rate increase effective January 1, 2025. The Town monitors water revenue throughout the year.

The Water Fund expenses net of transfers is $17.9 million, a $0.8 million (-4%) decrease over the FY 2023-24 projection. The budget reflects water usage at a similar level as FY 2023-24 and a San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) wholesale water rate increase of 6.5% for FY 2024-25 ($5.55 v. $5.21 per ccf.). The expense increase is primarily attributable to increases in cost-of-living salary and benefits and SFPUC rate increase, somewhat offset by a decrease in capital improvements from the prior year due to planned project timing. The proposed Water Fund budget shows a draw on reserves of $0.8 million.

Sewer Fund
The FY 2024-25 Sewer Fund revenue is projected at $16.8 million, a $1.2 million (-6.6%) decrease over the FY 2023-24 projection primarily due to no General Fund transfer for storm drain capital in the proposed budget. (Sewer revenue, excluding transfer in the prior year, is increasing by $0.6 million, 3.8%). Prior year reserves fund the storm drain capital. A proposed 4% rate increase is effective July 1, 2024, as outlined in the adopted five-year sewer rate series.

The FY 2024-25 Sewer Fund expense net of transfers is $19.9 million, a $1.7 million (9%) increase over the FY 2023-24 projection, primarily due to higher capital improvement spending. -2-
Agenda Staff Report - Hillsborough City Council
May 13, 2024

The proposed Sewer Fund budget reflects a net draw of $3.7 million in reserves, primarily attributable to capital improvements. This is consistent with the adopted sewer rate study findings, which show that the reserves will be drawn upon in the early years and hit the target level by year five of the rate series.

FY 2024-25 CAPITAL PLAN
The FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget funds $9.9 million in capital improvement projects (CIP) and $2.5 million in asset replacements and transfers to the Capital Fund that will be used to improve infrastructure and maintain the Town’s assets.
• Storm Drains - Storm drain replacements will improve system dependability in wet weather conditions.
• Water Main Replacement - Aging water pipes will be replaced to improve longevity, water quality, and water pressure to meet fire flow requirements and earthquake resistance. • Highline Water Project - Included in the Five-Year CIP Plan is the Town’s share of the Highline Water Project, totaling $5.4 million. The total project cost is $32 million, and the Town is the lead agency on the project. The project will provide a reliable, cost-effective water line at a higher elevation tied to the Harry Tracy plant, protect health and safety in a natural disaster, and result in operational savings in future years. The town is nearing final approval for federal grant funding, and the project funding will also include contributions from partner cities, debt, and other funding opportunities. In addition, $5 million of the General Fund reserve is recommended (and is included in the proposed budget reserve above) to be “Assigned” to this project for contingency and held until the project’s completion.
• Sewer Priority Basins - Sewer system improvements will reduce overflows and improve the longevity of the pipes. Priority Basin replacement is also essential for the sewer system to mitigate sewer system overflows.
• Parkside Culvert - The existing culvert has deteriorated and has several structural deficiencies, which could render the roadway unusable and unsafe if allowed to continue. This project will replace the culvert and improve the roadway on Parkside Avenue. Federal funds will likely fund 70% of the cost of the project.
• Shady Lane Storm Drain – The project involves installing new storm drain infrastructure on Shady Lane to reduce localized flooding and protect against roadway erosion. • Facilities - The budget funds an upgrade of the Town Hall Little House to increase office space for personnel.
• Vehicles/Equipment - Vehicles and equipment that are deteriorating, have exceeded their useful service life, and/or have high maintenance costs will be replaced. The proposed items in FY 2024- 25 are three police vehicles, the addition of one street sweeper, and one dump truck for street operations.

FEES AND CHARGES

Agenda Staff Report - Hillsborough City Council

Page 4 ends

The Town of Hillsborough provides the community with a wide variety of municipal services, including, but not limited to, police and fire protection, water delivery, wastewater collection, street maintenance, storm drainage, planning and development services, and building inspection services. General-purpose revenues, such as property taxes, fund community services like police protection. User fees cover the cost of providing services that have special benefits to an individual or group, such as a planning application, building permit, or encroachment permit associated with personal projects/property.

The proposed fees are intended to provide full cost recovery for the services rendered. However, the City Council may waive fees to subsidize and/or provide incentives to promote certain activities, provided those subsidies or incentives are funded with unrestricted revenue. Examples include the waiving or lowering of fees for accessory dwelling units, solar panels, and hazardous tree removal.

New Fees
There are two new proposed fees for FY 2024-25.

1. Public Works- Storm Drain Review New Single-Family Residence (NSFR) create and replace <10,000 SF of Impervious Area- $1,387: Fee for cost recovery for Public Works staff to review development submittals for compliance with the new state-mandated Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit requirements.

2. Building & Planning- Tree Removal- Arborist Report (Actual Cost): On March 13, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 789 amending the Town’s Municipal Code relating to Tree protection and preservation pursuant to CEQA, to promote tree preservation while balancing property rights and environmental sustainability. Amendments to the code included revisions to the review process for tree removal applications, adding a required review by a Town-qualified arborist. When the ordinance was adopted, the fee schedule did not include a mechanism to recover the costs associated with this arborist review. Therefore, a new fee is being proposed to serve as a cost-recovery mechanism for the arborist review. Any staff time related to the tree removal would be already captured in a building or planning permit prior to the Tree RemovalArborist Report.

Changes to Existing Fees
Most Fees and charges for Police, Planning, Building, Engineering, and Public Works special services were updated last fiscal year. The Town revises the fees and charges every few years to update the labor rates and scope of work to ensure full cost recovery for the services performed by staff. For FY 2024-25, the fees will be reflected with updated staff labor rates.

Last year, the Town did not update the Planning fees because at the time staffing models/processes were not finalized due to the recent reorganization. In the Proposed FY 2024-25 Master Fee schedule, the Planning fees are updated with labor rates, reassessed scope of work and improved efficiencies.

Deleted Fees
A few fees have been discontinued, as the service is no longer provided or relevant, or the costs are captured in another fee.

Sewer and Water Rates
Sewer and water rates are presented on the Schedule of fees at the maximum allowable rates as adopted for the five-year sewer and water rate series. Each year, these rates are separately reviewed and adopted by resolution for implementation on July 1 for sewer rates and January 1 for water rates. The rates that are currently in effect remain until reviewed and adopted by resolution.

Water and sewer connection fees are annually adjusted based on the Engineering News Record Construction Cost 20-City Average Index (ENR-CCI), which was 0.6%. Proposed connection fees on July 1, 2024, are $17,978.00 for water and $17,496.00 for sewer.

Fire Fees-Central County Fire Department
The Town’s Master Fee Schedule includes fees administered by the Central County Fire Department (CCFD) to Town customers so they can see all costs for their project. CCFD fees include care facility inspections, re-inspections, construction, sprinkler systems, permitting, and standby fire services. All fees are paid by the customer directly to CCFD and are not imposed by the Town. The FY 2024-25 CCFD fee schedule was approved by the CCFD Board on April 10, 2024.

San Mateo County Animal Control Fees & Charges
The Town’s Master Fee Schedule includes fees administered by San Mateo County for Animal Control. The County has updated those fees for FY 2024-25.

FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact with this reporting item.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: The consideration of this item is exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guideline 15378(b) as a government fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact, or as an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Any items or projects funded through the budget are not a commitment to any project, but instead, any such projects will undergo their own analysis and potential approval in the future.

CLOSED SESSION ITEM B
Legal Threat Document for Justification
On April 3, 2024, the Town was informed by an attorney representing a resident that the Town would be facing a lawsuit if it were to pass an ordinance amending the zoning code as it related to commercial activities permitted in the Town of Hillsborough on the basis that it infringes on freedom of speech and that it seeks to target specific persons or properties, rather than prohibit the activity townwide.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MAY 13, 2024

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM SUBJECT: RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR INTERIM MODIFICATIONS TO THE BUSINESS LICENSE TAX PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINE 15378
SUMMARY: The Town’s business license tax was originally established in 1985. At the original adoption, the City Council approved certain continuing modifications that have been approved annually. Specifically, while the original ordinance authorized a ¾ of 1% business tax, the City Council has been adopting annual resolutions providing for a reduction of the ¾ of 1% ($0.75 per $100.00 of gross receipts) tax to ½ of 1% ($0.50 per $100 of gross receipts) tax.

A large portion of Hillsborough’s business licenses are for contractors and are linked to permitting.

The tax (plus administrative fee) ranges from $124.00 to $858.00 (amount based on permit value).

For non-contractors in Hillsborough (such as pool services, gardeners, cleaning services), the tax (plus administrative fee) ranges from $204.00 to $2,133.00 (amount is based on gross receipts) with a majority at $204.00.

FISCAL IMPACT: The revenue will be comparable year over year if this resolution is adopted (assuming the same level of activity).

ATTACHMENTS: Resolution
PREPARED BY: Richard Santiago, Assistant Finance Director RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the resolution providing for interim modifications to the business license tax for fiscal year 2024-25.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SEWER SERVICE CHARGES EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2024 PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINE 15378
SUMMARY: This resolution authorizes sewer service charges for residential and non-residential customers, effective July 1, 2024. An Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) represents the wastewater flow and loadings of a typical single family residence. Residential customers have one EDU.

Equivalent EDUs are assigned to non-residential customers based on average winter water use from the prior three years and State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) wastewater strength guidelines.

A public notice was published in the San Mateo Daily Journal on April 24, 2024, as required by Government Code Section 66018 following publication requirements set forth in Government Code Section 6062a.

This resolution will authorize implementing a $160.00 (4%) increase in the annual residential sewer service charge from $3,985.00 to $4145.00 for fiscal year (FY) 2024-25 effective July 1, 2024.

Non-residential accounts will be charged based on the equivalent dwelling unit formula and the average winter water use during FY 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24. Starting in FY 2017-18, staff used a method conducting additional analysis on commercial winter water use to reflect indoor water usage through Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) tools. Variances from the 4% rate increase are the result of changes in the average water usage.

FISCAL IMPACT: Additional revenues associated with this action are reflected in the Proposed Budget for FY 2024-25.

ATTACHMENTS: Resolution
PREPARED BY: Richard Santiago, Assistant Finance Director RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the resolution authorizing sewer service charges for FY 2024-25 effective July 1, 2024.

WHEREAS, the actions taken pursuant to this Resolution do not constitute an “increase” to any fee or charge subject to article XIII D, section 6 of the California Constitution, because they are being adjusted in accordance with a pre-approved formula; and
WHEREAS, fees and charges adjusted pursuant hereto do not exceed the cost of the service for which they are imposed; and
WHEREAS, the Financial Advisory Committee, the City Council and the public have been presented in an open and noticed public meeting, all of the details of the proposed changes to the sewer service charges and the water and sewer connection fees.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MAY 13, 2024

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
ITEM SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO

EXECUTE A NEW AGREEMENT WITH AECOM FOR ON-CALL ENVIRONMENTAL AND

HISTORIC CONSULTING SERVICES FOR A THREE-YEAR TERM WITH AN ANNUAL NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $70,000.00, FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $210,000.00, PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINE 15378
SUMMARY: In order to streamline minor environmental review processes, the Town has had oncall contracts with several firms for the past decade to provide the Town with a variety of on-call experts. One of those firms, AECOM, provides a variety of technical expertise on an on-call and as-needed basis.

Since 2016 AECOM has been a valued on-call consultant and is unique in that they provide the Town with both environmental reviews and historical resource reviews. The previous contract with AECOM expired at the end of 2023, so the Town would like to enter into a new contract for on-call services with AECOM for a term of three years, with an annual not-to-exceed amount of $70,000.

There is no cost to the Town for these services, as costs associated with the environmental reviews and historical reviews are paid for by deposit accounts funded by applicants.

The contract includes consulting and/or expert opinion types of services for smaller projects rather than preparation of Negative Declarations or Environmental Impact Reports for more potentially impactful projects. Staff would continue to utilize an independent RFP process for preparation of environmental documents for more potentially impactful projects.

The Town issued a request for proposals (RFP) for on-call historical services and is currently reviewing six submittals in response. Soon, the Town will also issue an RFP for on-call environmental services. The goal is to continue to have pre-approved contracts with several environmental and historical consulting firms to have access to a variety of experts, assisting the Town in a more expedient time frame. The on-call nature of the contract indicates that any awarded contract would not guarantee any particular level of work and would be based on time and materials. Staff will bring those contracts for on-call historical services and on-call environmental services to the City Council in the coming months.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no cost to the Town for these services, as costs associated with the environmental reviews and historical reviews are paid for by deposit accounts funded by applicants. Therefore, the proposed amount would be accommodated under the existing budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines sections -57-

15378(b)(2) and 15378(b)(5) provide that ongoing administrative activities and organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment do not constitute a “project” as defined by the State CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.) and are therefore exempt from CEQA and no further environmental review is required.

C. The Parties desire by this Agreement to establish the terms for Town to retain Consultant to provide the services described herein.

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

1. Services.

Consultant shall provide the Town with the services described in the Scope of Services and Qualifications attached hereto as Exhibit “A.” The services shall be more particularly described in the individual Task Order issued by the Town or its designee. No services shall be performed unless authorized by a fully executed Task Order in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C”.

-61-
2 a detailed description of the work performed. Payments to Consultant for work performed will be made on a monthly billing basis.

3. Additional Work.

If changes in the work seem merited by Consultant or the Town, and informal consultations with the other party indicate that a change is warranted, it shall be processed in the following manner: a letter outlining the changes shall be forwarded to the Town by Consultant with a statement of estimated changes in fee or time schedule. An amendment to this Agreement shall be prepared by the Town and executed by both Parties before performance of such services, or the Town will not be required to pay for the changes in the scope of work. Such amendment shall not render ineffective or invalidate unaffected portions of this Agreement.

4. Maintenance of Records.

Books, documents, papers, accounting records, and other evidence pertaining to costs incurred shall be maintained by Consultant and made available at all reasonable times during the contract period and for four (4) years from the date of final payment under the contract for inspection by Town.

5. Time of Performance.

The term of this Agreement shall be from May 15, 2024 to May 15, 2027 unless earlier terminated as provided herein.

All applicable indemnification provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect following the termination of this Agreement.

6. Delays in Performance.
a. Neither Town nor Consultant shall be considered in default of this Agreement for delays in performance caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the nonperforming party. For purposes of this Agreement, such circumstances include a Force Majeure Event. A Force Majeure Event shall mean an event that materially affects the Consultant’s performance and is one or more of the following: (1) Acts of God or other natural disasters occurring at the project site; (2) terrorism or other acts of a public enemy; (3) orders of governmental authorities (including, without limitation, unreasonable and unforeseeable delay in the issuance of permits or approvals by governmental authorities that are required for the services); and (4) pandemics, epidemics or quarantine restrictions. For purposes of this section, “orders of governmental authorities”, includes ordinances, emergency proclamations and orders, rules to protect the public health, welfare and safety. b. Should such a Force Majeure Event occur, the non-performing party shall, within a reasonable time of being prevented from performing, give written notice to the other party describing the circumstances preventing continued performance and the efforts being made to resume performance of this Agreement. Delays shall not entitle Consultant to any additional compensation regardless of the Party responsible for the delay. c. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Town may still terminate this Agreement in accordance with the termination provisions of this Agreement.

7. Compliance with Law.
-62-
3 a. Consultant shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, codes and regulations of the federal, state and local government, including Cal/OSHA requirements. b.

8. Standard of Care
Consultant’s services will be performed in accordance with generally accepted professional practices and principles and in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions.

9. Assignment and Subconsultant
Consultant shall not assign, sublet, or transfer this Agreement or any rights under or interest in this Agreement without the written consent of the Town, which may be withheld for any reason. Any attempt to so assign or so transfer without such consent shall be void and without legal effect and shall constitute grounds for termination. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Consultant from employing independent associates, and subconsultants as Consultant may deem appropriate to assist in the performance of services hereunder. Any subconsultants Consultant intends to utilize in the performance of this Agreement shall be listed in Exhibit “B.” Consultant shall provide written notice and shall obtain the written consent of the Town prior to using or substituting a non-listed subconsultant in the performance of this Agreement. Subcontracts, if any, shall contain a provision making them subject to all provisions stipulated in this Agreement.

10. Independent Contractor
Consultant is retained as an independent contractor and is not an employee of Town. No employee or agent of Consultant shall become an employee of Town. The work to be performed shall be in accordance with the work described in this Agreement, subject to such directions and amendments from Town as herein provided. Any personnel performing the work governed by this Agreement on behalf of Consultant shall at all times be under Consultant’s exclusive direction and control. Consultant shall pay all wages, salaries, and other amounts due such personnel in connection with their performance under this Agreement and as required by law.

If the services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Consultant agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold the Town, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs, penalties or interest arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. It shall be mandatory upon the Consultant and all subconsultants to comply with all California Labor Code provisions, which include but are not limited to prevailing wages (Labor Code Sections 1771, 1774 and 1775), employment of apprentices (Labor Code Section 1777.5), certified payroll records (Labor Code Sections 1771.4 and 1776), hours of labor (Labor Code Sections 1813 and 1815) and debarment of contractors and subcontractors (Labor Code Section 1777.1).

b. If the services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Consultant and all subconsultants performing such services must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Consultant shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project and require the same of any subconsultants, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the contractor registration requirements mandated by Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1. c. This Agreement may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements. Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Consultant or any subcontractor that -68-
9 affect Consultant’s performance of services, including any delay, shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Consultant caused delay and shall not be compensable by the Town. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold the Town, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Consultant or any subcontractor.

14. Verification of Employment Eligibility.

By executing this Agreement, Consultant verifies that it fully complies with all requirements and restrictions of state and federal law respecting the employment of undocumented aliens, including, but not limited to, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, as may be amended from time to time, and shall require all subconsultants and sub-subconsultants to comply with the same.

15. Reserved.

This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

If any action is brought to interpret or enforce any term of this Agreement, the action shall be brought in a state or federal court situated in the County of San Mateo, State of California. 17 Termination or Abandonment

In such event, Town shall be immediately given title and possession to all original field notes, drawings and specifications, written reports and other documents produced or developed for that portion of the work completed and/or being abandoned. Town shall pay Consultant the reasonable value of services rendered for any portion of the work completed prior to termination. If said termination occurs prior to completion of any task for the Project for which a payment request has not been received, the charge for services performed during such task shall be the reasonable value of such services, based on an amount mutually agreed to by Town and Consultant of the portion of such task completed but not paid prior to said termination. Town shall not be liable for any costs other than the charges or portions thereof which are specified herein. Consultant shall not be entitled to payment for unperformed services, and shall not be entitled to damages or compensation for termination of work.

RE: Statement of Qualifications for On-Call Environmental Consulting Services 2024-2027 Dear Ms. Ruess:

We have enjoyed working on projects for the Town for the past eight years. AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) has provided various on-call environmental services to the Town since 2016 under its Master Services Agreement including more than a dozen historical resource assessments and historic design reviews, preparation of an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the TipToe Lane project, 383 Sierra Riparian Corridor Effects Analysis, and biological assessments. We continue to offer a strong and effective local team, continuity of experience working directly with the Town, and proven multi-disciplinary capability with an unmatched depth and breadth of technical resources.

Our knowledge and involvement in the Town of Hillsborough and surrounding areas make us an asset for both simple and complex projects. The following are the distinct advantages of selecting AECOM:

Our in-house combination of CEQA expertise, demonstrated experience on a wide range of local and regional environmental issues throughout California, and technical expertise allows Town to directly contract with AECOM for all CEQA-related needs. Our project managers are supported by technical staff of over 750 environmental planners, air quality and noise specialists, historians/architectural historians, and archaeologists, as well as urban designers and architects, and a full complement of other technical specialists to meet the Town’s CEQA compliance needs.  Leadership Team – Our leadership team dedicated to support the Town is led by Chandra Miller as the primary contact and Contract Manager with support from Principal-in-Charge Kelly Bayer. Chandra, supported by several Project Managers/Task Order Managers including Environmental Planners Emma Rawnsley, and Stephanie Osby, biologist Danny Slakey, and other subject matter experts will ensure that the full breadth of AECOM’s resources will always be available to you, in the most cost-efficient manner possible.

Introduction-Understanding of Services
AECOM is an infrastructure consulting firm with approximately 50,000 employees worldwide, including planners, designers, engineers, program and construction managers. AECOM was founded in 1970 and currently has a very strong northern California team to complete the types of service under this SOQ for the Town.

Historical Resources
Our AECOM Historical Resources Team is intimately familiar with the resources within the Town of Hillsborough. As part of a multi-year on-call services contract, AECOM has provided the Town of Hillsborough Building & Planning Department with environmental services including conducting historical resource assessments and design plans review. Between 2019-2023 alone, AECOM architectural historians Chandra Miller and Heather Miller, prepared over ten technical reports/memorandums for Town planners to support CEQA-level historical resources evaluations. All work under this on-call has been conducted within budget and schedule.

We have a strong, local in-house team of historians, architectural historians, and historical landscape cultural resources professionals who offer the qualifications, relevant experience, and skills to successfully complete the types of services required for the SOQ. Our cultural resources staff, GIS specialists, graphic artists, and other support personnel work closely together as a team and can provide all the historical resources services required. Our AECOM team provides on-call and project-specific contracts working with various private- and public-sector clients and state and federal agencies for local and CEQA/Section 106/NEPA regulatory compliance for historical resources/historic properties. Our team has worked on a variety of residential, parks, farming/agriculture, water conveyance systems, industrial, commercial, residential, mixed-use, transportation, energy/utility, and military projects throughout California with clients, designers, and agency representatives.

AECOM’s cultural resource specialists have a solid reputation with key reviewing agencies for producing excellent and legally defensible technical studies.

Our AECOM Historical Resources Team will provide the level of responsiveness, flexibility, and quality of service to fulfill the historical resources/built environment needs of the Park District. Working closely with Park District staff for the recent Roberts Pool project, AECOM staff was able to provide the inventory and evaluate the resource, deploy staff to conduct HABS-level recordation and photography, and prepare the HABS report under a tight demolition schedule for the project.

Environmental Planning
Environmental planning is one of AECOM’s core businesses and covers impact assessments pursuant to CEQA and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), traffic impact analyses, natural resource and cultural resource surveys and management plans, geotechnical and hazardous investigations, resource and regulatory agency consultations, environmental permitting, and construction and mitigation monitoring.

AECOM prides itself on our ability to draw upon existing resources, our in-house technical staff, and our relationships with clients and other specialists to produce environmental documents that are relevant, digestible, and legally defensible. As shown below, we have clear scopes of work for multiple venues for CEQA clearance, from exemptions to Initial Studies to Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs), if required. We see our scope of work as the road map towards helping lead agencies successfully complete the CEQA process, as well as outlining a clear mitigation strategy that can be successfully implemented as the project is developed.

Beyond the technical aspects of preparing the CEQA document, our approach is to prepare a reader-friendly CEQA document that clearly explains how we reached our conclusions. To accomplish this, we employ a combination of narrative, figures, tables, and other visual aids. We believe that our reader-friendly approach will greatly aid the Town of Hillsborough in meeting two of the core purposes of CEQA – informing the public about -78-
AECOM On-Call Environmental Consulting Services

May 1, 2023
the project’s environmental impacts and allowing decision-makers to consider the project’s environmental consequences before deciding whether to approve the project.

Diverse Environmental Planning Experience in the Public Sector The vast majority of our environmental planning work is dedicated to supporting public agencies fulfill their CEQA obligations. This work is widespread and covers all environmental documents, as well as in-depth, technically sound studies on all of the resource topics that comprise a complete CEQA document. AECOM understands that comprehensive environmental documents may not be part of the services requested by the Town. Nevertheless, the ability to prepare technical studies, peer reviews, and expert opinions under this solicitation must be rooted in a firm grasp of CEQA, its treatment of impacts and requirements for feasible mitigation measures. As evidenced by the resumes included, relevant project experience, and list of other oncall environmental support contracts with public agencies (municipalities, water districts, local and regional transportation authorities, and state and federal agencies), AECOM offers the Town of Hillsborough substantial expertise in each of the key environmental disciplines, expert knowledge in the requirements and expectations of public resource and regulatory agencies, and experience at providing information and advice, peer reviews, or technical documents to provide substantial evidence for CEQA conclusions.

Experience Completing Initial Studies and Coordinating with Other Public Agencies
AECOM staff have been at the forefront of assisting public agencies with their CEQA commitments, typically using Initial Studies (IS) to determine whether a more comprehensive EIR might be necessary. We work with local agencies and applicants to structure projects or mitigation measures so that a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) suffice for environmental clearance.

We are intimately aware of the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G that suggests possible significance thresholds to inform an Initial Study. We are equally expert at applying local thresholds, such as those adopted by the cities of San Francisco, Palo Alto, San Jose, and Oakland. Because AECOM recognizes that there is a low bar to challenge an IS and MND or Negative Declaration (ND) using the “fair argument standard,” we are diligent about providing the necessary documentation to support an IS/MND or ND. At the same time, we view our role as offering strategic advice about navigating the CEQA process and advocating for early review of the potential risks of a CEQA challenge to an IS/MND or ND and explaining the budget/cost implications.

AECOM also understands the value of timely and proper coordination with other public agencies. Whether the agency is local (e.g., neighboring jurisdictions), regional (e.g., San Mateo City/County Association of Governments, Regional Water Quality Control Board), state (e.g., California Department of Fish and Game, State Historic Preservation Officer, Caltrans), or federal (e.g., US Fish and Wildlife Service), each has its own environmental regulations and guidelines that must be satisfied, and as responsible or trustee agencies will look to the Town’s environmental documentation to assist in their own reviews. Much of AECOM’s Bay Area expertise is providing environmental and permitting services to these very agencies, so that we offer the Town of Hillsborough valuable insights about why, when, and how they should be engaged.

Experience with the Public, Applicants, and Various Town Boards/Commissions
Each of our project managers and key staff/technical experts brings years of experience interacting with, presenting to, and answering questions from project stakeholders. Staff are trained to listen actively, be prepared and anticipatory of the types of questions or concerns, be tactful and respectful, and responsive.

Presenting the conclusions and analyses goes hand-in-hand with completing the written document and is an integral component of our services. As such, AECOM staff are highly skilled and experienced at presenting and responding to questions about the analyses we complete. -79-

Our goal is to ensure that the public, applicants, and various boards and commissions understand the rigor, the approach, and the perspective used to reach a CEQA conclusion. Often times, it is a matter of explaining that CEQA operates on thresholds of significance, which may not always have a “bright line” to demarcate significant from less-than-significant impacts. Professional judgment, expert opinion, and interpretation of regulatory agencies’ guidelines are frequently relied upon for substantial evidence and need to be communicated clearly to participants in the CEQA process. Similarly, we explain that our role is to prepare independent third-party environmental documents that evaluate a project objectively and dispassionately.

Our team subscribes to and endorses the fundamental credo that CEQA exists to inform the public of potential significant impacts and to develop alternatives and mitigation measures to eliminate or avoid significant adverse effects. In performing this responsibility, we recognize that the CEQA process is but a single step in a larger planning, development, entitlement, and construction process. This appreciation means that AECOM takes a broader perspective and can offer suggestions about streamlining and completing the CEQA process, while advising about the potential risks unique to different CEQA strategies.

Verbal and Written Communication Skills
Completing the most comprehensive and technically rigorous analyses is a failure if they are not understood by the public or decision makers. AECOM takes prides in its quality review process that not only critiques each deliverable for technical accuracy, but also readability. We have a top-notch, in-house team of editors who review our documents for clarity, comprehension, and readability. The ability of AECOM to present and facilitate public meetings and hearings is best evaluated from our references, who can testify to our dedication and commitment to public presentations.

Qualifications
CEQA Assessments
Approach
CEQA has been the critical legislation in shaping our
built and natural environments since its enactment
over 45 years ago. However, the guidelines that
implement these acts and the growing number of
court cases are evidence that the preparation of
legally defensible and intelligible environmental
documents continues to be a challenge.

Our staff stays up to date on recent CEQA case law
and changes to CEQA compliance requirements and other environmental regulations through news sources, attending professional association trainings through organizations such as the Association of Environmental Professionals and American Planning Association, and sharing information through a monthly internal CEQA roundtable discussion webinar for all of the company’s environmental professionals in California. As a result, AECOM is highly regarded for technical rigor, innovation, and communications.

Because we are a multi-disciplinary firm, our professionals have the opportunity to work closely together across disciplines on a wide variety of project types. Being able to provide the full range of technical services in-house also avoids potential delays associated with subcontract administration or waiting for subcontract deliverables or revisions. The integration of our environmental planners with our in-house planning, design, and transportation services enables us to develop alternatives and mitigation measures that are feasible and implementable.

Qualifications and Services
Our environmental team is expert in preparing comprehensive environmental documents, as well as in-depth, sound technical studies on all of the resource topics that comprise a complete EIR. Our CEQA experience includes working with lead regulatory agencies in
California to prepare independent third-party
environmental documents, as well as directly with
agencies and applicants. Our projects include projects
of all scales: land development projects from single
use to mixed use proposals; transportation facilities
and improvements from sidewalk and bicycle
improvements to new high-speed rail service; utility
facility and improvements from pump stations to dam
modifications; public facilities, improvements, and
maintenance activities from local police stations to
large corporation yards; recreational facilities and
improvements from lighting an existing facility to a
community-wide recreational program; remediation
activities from localized excavation and disposal of
contaminated soils to remediation and monitoring of a regional, contaminated groundwater plume; and planning and regulatory programs from zoning ordinance revisions to large-scale, regional wetland and habitat restoration programs.

AECOM through its legacy firms and staff has a long-standing history of providing CEQA and related environmental services to communities throughout the Bay Area. Among the municipalities for whom our staff have held on-call services procurements or completed Environmental Impact Reports are San Francisco, South San Francisco, Burlingame, Millbrae, Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City, Menlo Park, Pacifica, San Mateo County, Mid-Peninsula Open Space District, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, and Santa Clara County. These assignments, completed for Community Development, Planning, and Public Works Departments, involved a variety of public and private sector proposals, as noted above.

As appropriate for the particular setting, our environmental team is also skilled at coordinating with and integrating the expectations and needs of resource and regulatory agencies. We routinely interact and solicit approvals from Caltrans, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the State Historic Preservation Officer, the State Department of Toxic and Substance Control, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the Bay Conservation Development Commission, and their federal counterparts. As such, while the environmental analyses performed for a particular project typically would not involve securing the requisite permits, knowledge of these subsequent requirements and agency expectations and incorporating the information needed by these agencies will streamline the approval and implementation process.

The following pages describe the services that AECOM can offer the Town of Hillsborough in support of its CEQA responsibilities as a lead or responsible agency.

Environmental Studies/ Permitting
Approach
Independently or as part of a comprehensive environmental study, AECOM provides its clients with technical expertise, recommendations, and permitting assistance. Rigorous, sound technical analyses; clear presentations to inform public officials and members of the community; up-to-date awareness and rapport with relevant resource and permitting agencies; and award-winning natural resource and management designs – these are the hallmarks of services provided by AECOM’s environmental planners and specialists. -81-

Air Quality/Greenhouse Emissions Reduction/Health Risk Assessments Air quality studies, as part of planning programs, transportation and land development project assessments, health risk assessments from exposure to toxic air contaminants, and as evidence of successful infill and transit-oriented development, have become more and more critical in planning and environmental initiatives.

Global concern over greenhouse gases, climate adaptation, and extreme changes in the environmental setting over the next century has resulted in new requirements and planning choices.

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District, the
California Air Resources Board, the Council on
Environmental Quality, and California courts have
promulgated new or modified emissions regulations,
guidance on and requirements for available control
technologies, and guidelines on exposure and health
risks.

AECOM has been at the forefront of these emerging
developments, having advised several regional air
quality management districts on their CEQA
guidelines, being among the first to recommend taking
advantage of the Bay Area Air Quality Management
District’s fledging program to offer offset credits for construction emissions, and incorporating climate
adaptation analyses and mitigation options into CEQA and NEPA documents. In addition, we continue to provide technical assistance to the Association Bay Area of Governments on climate adaptation, following our pioneering work on sea-level rise and its effects along the Bay Area waterfront.

Project Experience
On-Call Environmental Services, Hillsborough
Client: Town of Hillsborough
As part of a multi-year on-call services contract, AECOM has provided the Town of Hillsborough Building & Planning Department with environmental services including conducting historical resource assessments and design plans review. Work for each project includes the creation of scope and cost, conducting background research to determine if the properties were previously identified in the Town of Hillsborough Historic Building Survey, local history research within the Hillsborough collection at the Burlingame Historical Society, review of building permits and plans on file with the Town, and other property-specific research. Typical historical assessment deliverables to the Town provide description and photographs of the property; a history of property ownership; any changes to the property over time; and an evaluation of the property for eligibility for listing in the NRHP and/or CRHR, and if the property retained sufficient historic integrity to physically convey its historic significance to its potential period of significance. If the property was determined eligible, a list of character-defining features and the physical boundary of the resources is provided.

An important component of this on-call has been AECOM’s close working relationship with the Burlingame Historical Society. The president and archivist of the historical society is a long-time native of the region.

AECOM recognizes local history knowledge is not just found in archives, but also resides within community members. Not only has the archivist of the Burlingame Historical Society provided real estate and other information found in the historic record in their Hillsborough materials, but she also provides insight into the people and places who have shaped the community, which is invaluable and meaningful to our understanding of the past. The following projects are representative of the variety of historical resources services provided to the Town of Hillsborough as part of this on call.
 171 New Place Historic Assessment. Evaluation of a highly modified, former Mansard style residence, designed by architect firm De Wolf & Associates in 1972, that underwent a large addition and remodel in the late 1990s when it was generally transformed into the current New Traditional Tudor-style residence, for potential eligibility for listing in the CRHR and/or NRHP. [2023]  720 Hayne Road Historic Assessment and Addition Design Review. AECOM prepared a technical memorandum that identified the character-defining features of the Tudor Revival-style residence was constructed in circa 1932 in a design by the prominent architectural partnership of Albert Farr and J.

Francis Ward, the site, and setting to analyze any potential negative impacts by the proposed ADU. Also included a summary of all the elements of the proposed ADU and how the work does or does not conform with the 2017 Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties Standards for
Rehabilitation. [2023]
 200 W Santa Inez Historic Assessment. Evaluation of a Tudor Revival style residence designed by architect
Charles E.J. Rogers in 1926 and a detached garage that
was heavily modified in 2011 for potential eligibility for listing in the CRHR and/or NRHP. [2023]
 1024 Jackling Historic Peer Review. AECOM
architectural historians conducted peer review of a
consultant-prepared historic assessment that did not
find the ca. 1929-constructed residence eligible for
listing in the CRHR. AECOM’s identification of data gaps and subsequent re-evaluation using expanded historical context recommends the residence as eligible for -93-

Sanborn County Park Nursery Demolition Project IS/MND. County Parks intend to demolish existing structures, remove debris, and remediate contaminated soil at this dilapidated former commercial nursery site, so that the property can be opened for public use and redeveloped in accordance with the Sanborn County Park Master Plan. AECOM performed a series of task orders relating to the project, including supplemental soil sampling, preparation of a remedial
workplan, and preparation of an
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration for the remedial actions, in accordance with CEQA.

AECOM also assisted the County with tribal consultation under AB52 and is currently assisting the County with implementation of biological and cultural mitigation measures during construction.

Young Ranch Draft EIR and the Vintage Estates Clustered Subdivision Draft EIR. Each of these projects involved residential development in rural areas of the County. The former project was highly controversial and involved hillside property within the unincorporated County and the City of San Jose and transfers of development rights between the two jurisdictions. Conflicts with urban service areas and growth boundaries, disturbance to surrounding open space resources, traffic safety considerations, and visual concerns were of paramount interest to local agencies, nearby residents, and natural resource environmental groups. The latter project concerned a proposed clustered development that would introduce alteration to views, loss of open space, potential disturbance to biological resources, and groundwater supply concerns for downgradient neighbors. An extensive viewshed analysis from multiple locations was performed because of the site’s high visibility in the foothills of the South Bay.

Former City Hall Demolition EIR, San Jose. AECOM prepared an EIR for the proposed demolition of the former San José City Hall building on County land, which is eligible for listing on federal, state, and local historic registers. The building is currently vacant and is not in a usable condition, with ongoing maintenance and security costs borne by the County. Extensive consideration was given to alternatives, including adaptive rehabilitation and re-use of the building for affordable housing. The Draft EIR was publicly notified within six months.
231 Grant Educator Workforce Housing Project EIR. AECOM prepared an EIR and associated technical reports (historic resource evaluation, traffic impact assessment, and noise assessment) for a four-story teacher housing project proposed by the County’s Facilities and Fleet Department, with support from the City of Palo Alto, Facebook, and local school districts. The project would provide 110 residential units to serve school district employees that often fall within the “missing middle”—those who earn too much to qualify for other affordable housing options, but too little to afford market rates. Key issues include construction noise and vibration, hazardous materials, traffic, and aesthetics. Although this is a County led project, the site is within the City of Palo Alto and the environmental documentation is considering the thresholds and policies of both jurisdictions.

Z-Best Composting Facility Recirculated EIR. Z-Best Composting is proposing changes to their existing greenwaste and municipal solid waste (MSW) composting facility in Hollister, including an upgrade to their MSW processing technology and increased capacity. A Draft EIR was prepared (by others) and comments received required the County to prepare a recirculated EIR to address issues raised. AECOM work includes peer review of GHG Emissions Evaluation, peer review of hydrology and floodplain technical studies, consideration of additional GHG and NOx emissions mitigations, analysis of bioaerosol emissions, noise modeling, and preparation of a recirculated EIR (all sections) including substantial revisions to the Agricultural Resources, Air ”This has been, by far, the smoothest

Quality, Hydrology, GHG, Noise, and Transportation sections.

On Call Environmental, San Mateo, Santa Clara, San Francisco, Tuolumne Counties Client: San Francisco Public Utility Commission (SFPUC) AECOM has provided Environmental Compliance Services under several contracts with SFPUC. Four recent examples of projects, including two with built environment elements conducted as separate task orders, have been provided below.

HRE Millbrae Yard. Originally acquired by the City and County of San Francisco from the Spring Valley Water Company, the SFPUC-owned Millbrae Yard is the main headquarters for the Water Enterprise regional water system, which spans from Tesla Portal in Tracy to San Francisco. This location houses Water Supply and Treatment Division, Water Quality Division, and Natural Resources and Lands Management Division staff and operations, as well as supporting Information Technology Services staff and operations.

AECOM performed a historical resources assessment to evaluate four historic-age buildings and structures in Millbrae Yard: Meter House, Limnology Cottage, Paint Shop, and South Storage Structure. The Meter House was constructed circa 1912 and designed by Willis Polk & Co., who also designed an associated landscape treatment and generated a watercolor image of the building and proposed landscape plan. Although not entirely adopted, Polk’s landscape design appears in a 1925 photograph. The Meter House was founded eligible under CRHR Criterion 3, as a rare example of Willis Polk’s designs applied to an industrial property.

Known primarily for residential and commercial properties, the Meter House is one of few industrial buildings associated with Willis Polk & Co. Therefore, the Meter House was recommended as eligible for listing in the CRHR under Criterion 3 as the work of a master.

HRE Addendum Mountain Tunnel. AECOM conducted a cultural resources survey of the Priest Reservoir and Priest Dam to prepare an HRE Addendum to provide historic context and evaluation of two historic-age built environment resources associated with the Mountain Tunnel. AECOM conducted research in the SFPUC archives for relevant historic photographs and plans to determine the changes to the resource that has occurred over time, which assisted with the development of a potential period of significance and to assess historic integrity. AECOM concluded that Priest Reservoir and Priest Dam constitute a historical resource under CEQA, because the resource meets the criteria for listing in the CRHR under Criterion 1 at the state level of significance for its association with the development of the CCSF’s municipal water system. Its period of significance is 1921 to 1925. Priest Reservoir and Priest Dam also retain sufficient historic integrity to convey the resource’s significance.

Natural Resources Specialized and Technical Services On-Call Contracts, including Bioregional Habitat Restoration (BHR) Program. AECOM has provided habitat assessments and mitigation restoration consulting -100-

since 2009 and comprehensive performance monitoring of natural resources, adaptive management recommendations, vegetation management oversight, and performance reporting at eight Bioregional Habitat Restoration (BHR) Program (SFPUC’s mitigation program) sites since 2014. These mitigation sites provide over 800 acres of enhanced upland, riparian and wetland habitat mitigation credit for California red-legged frog, California tiger salamander, Callippe silverspot butterfly, Alameda whipsnake, and San Francisco garter snake.

Our team developed a long-term monitoring program specifically tailored to assess habitat before and after restoration activities to track progress towards meeting habitat management goals and objectives.

Mountain Tunnel Improvements Project IS/MND, NEPA EA, Permitting, and Monitoring. This project is a 19- mile tunnel that is part of SFPUC’s water delivery system from the Tuolumne River watershed to SFPUC customers in the San Francisco Bay Area. The project encompasses staging, spoils disposal, and construction activities at multiple locations along the tunnel alignment. AECOM prepared an Opportunities and Constraints Report to inform the project team about the potential environmental constraints of the project alternatives and to identify opportunities for impact avoidance or minimization. AECOM went on to prepare CEQA IS/MND, NEPA EA, and permitting applications and consultation, and various technical studies, and then construction monitoring support to ensure compliance with permit conditions.

On-Call Biological Services and Various Rare Plant and Botanical Surveys, San Mateo County Client: Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (Midpen) Under various contracts, AECOM is providing biological, CEQA/NEPA, permitting support, and design services for a variety of Midpen projects.
 Skyline Area Botanical Surveys and Mitigation and Monitoring Plan, La Honda, CA. Botanical surveys for multiple projects across 776 acres of Midpen lands. Surveys targeted sensitive natural communities, special status plants, invasive plants, and locally rare plants. Mapped and reported on populations of western leatherwood, King’s Mountain manzanita, and California bottle-brush grass. AECOM was able to meet survey needs on a minimal budget through effective and comprehensive planning and development of sampling methods early on in collaboration with the client. A strong plan in place reduces uncertainty, increases efficiency, and produces a quality deliverable. Through fewer and longer field days surveys and deliverables were completed while reducing travel time and cost coupled with adjusted representative sampling methods to cover the most ground in the shortest amount of time.  Grazing Management, Structure Removal, and Vegetation Management Biological Support. Provided each tenant with biological awareness training prior to beginning work. Presurvey treatments areas, identified and flagged any site-specific avoidance areas and communicated these to the ranching tenant.

Remained on site to monitor during treatment if special status species were observed during presurvey.  Highway 17 Wildlife and Trail Crossing, Santa Clara County, CA. AECOM conducted special-status plant and natural community surveys, mapping and reporting on populations of three special status species and several sensitive natural communities. Also preparing 65% design and CEQA/NEPA documents and supporting tech studies and providing permitting support.

Project Experience
City of Saratoga, Saratoga Retirement Community
Campus Master Plan EIR, Saratoga, CA. Project Manager
for EIR evaluating the expansion of the Saratoga
Retirement Community, a private residential community
for seniors. It is centered around the Saratoga Manor
Building, a Mission Revival-style building that was
completed in 1912 by the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows and is an historic resource. The project proposes three new Independent Living residential apartment
buildings, as well as a new meeting room addition to the existing Manor Building. The project also includes a zoning change request for a Planned Combined District overlay.

AECOM prepared an EIR for the proposed project, which
addressed key issues including historic resources and
construction-related noise, traffic, and air quality impacts.

A historic resources evaluation and updates to the
Department of Parks and Recreation Form 523 were
undertaken to support the CEQA analysis. AECOM also
assisted the City with tribal consultation and conducted a limited archaeological testing program, prepared a
construction cost estimate comparison for the proposed
project and an alternative, to assist in feasibility
determinations.

County of Santa Clara, 231 Grant Educator Workforce
Housing EIR, Palo Alto, CA. Project Manager for EIR and associated technical reports (historic resource evaluation, traffic impact assessment, and noise assessment) for a
four-story teacher housing project proposed by the
County’s Facilities and Fleet Department, with support
from the City of Palo Alto, Facebook, and local school
districts. The project would provide 110 residential units to serve school district employees that often fall within the “missing middle”—those who earn too much to qualify for other affordable housing options, but too little to afford market rates. Although this is a County led project, the site is within the City of Palo Alto and the
environmental documentation considered the thresholds
and policies of both jurisdictions.

County of Santa Clara, Former San José City Hall
Demolition EIR, San Jose, CA. AECOM prepared an EIR
for the proposed demolition of the former San José City Hall building on County land, which is eligible for listing on federal, state, and local historic registers. The building is currently vacant and is not in a usable condition, with ongoing maintenance and security costs borne by the
County. Extensive consideration was given to alternatives, including adaptive rehabilitation and re-use of the building for affordable housing. The Draft EIR was publicly notified within six months.

County of Santa Clara, Sanborn County Park Nursery
Demolition Project IS/MND and Other Tasks, Santa
Clara County, CA. Task Order Manager. County Parks

construction.

City of Fremont, Ursa Residential Project EIR, Fremont, CA. Ms. Rawnsley served as project manager and principal author for the Initial Study and focused EIR, completed under an on-call environmental and planning master
services agreement with the City. The project proposes a 17-lot residential subdivision within an existing residential suburb of Fremont, which includes relocation of a
potentially historic structure. Through a separate contract with the applicant, AECOM also provided assistance with implementation of historic mitigation measures, including archival documentation, an interpretative display, and
oversight of building relocation/rehabilitation efforts.

City of Fremont, Silicon Sage Centerville Mixed-Use
Development Project EIR, Fremont, CA. Project Manager
for preparation of CEQA documentation for a mixed-use
development in the Centerville town center area of
Fremont, completed under an on-call environmental and
planning master services agreement with the City. The
project comprised a mixed use building with groundfloor retail and two to three stories of residential rental
apartments above along the site frontage, with 72 threestory townhouses and resident amenities on the remainder of the site. The historic register-eligible former fire station on the site would be retained and refurbished under the project, although a variant was also proposed, which would demolish the historic fire station to provide additional retail space and apartments. Emma worked
closely with the City to provide a robust analysis of both the project and the variant, and to develop project
alternatives that could potentially reduce significant and unavoidable impacts to the historic resource. The Draft EIR was delivered within 6 months of initiating the CEQA process.

County of San Mateo, Middlefield Road Improvements
Project IS/MND, North Fair Oaks, CA. CEQA Task Lead.

resource specialists and coordinated with the design
team to confirm the IS/MND accurately captured and
analyzed the evolving project description, and that
mitigation requirements were included in construction
contractor bid documents.

City of Redwood City, South Main Mixed-Use
Development EIR, Redwood City, CA. Emma peer
reviewed the Phase I and II Environmental Site
Assessments prepared for the project and was principal
author of the hazardous materials section of the EIR,
which addressed impacts from existing soil contamination at the site and the presence of a regional groundwater
solvent plume. This 8.3-acre mixed-use redevelopment in the heart of Redwood City would include 252 multi-family residential units, approximately 500,000 square feet of office space, and approximately 50,000 square feet of

Project, San Jose, CA. Project Manager for NEPA EA.

Eden Housing, Inc. proposed the Gallup and Mesa
Affordable Housing Project in south San Jose. The 46
affordable housing units project received U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding
through the Project Based Voucher program under the
Santa Clara County Housing Authority, triggering the
preparation of an Environmental Assessment under the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for review and approval by the City of San Jose Department of Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement and HUD. AECOM
coordinated closely with the City of San Jose to adhere to the HUD NEPA format and impact assessment protocols
and abide by stringent City review timelines and
specifications. AECOM also consulted with multiple
databases and regulatory agencies to collect applicable data with which to complete the environmental impact
analysis and present findings in the EA. AECOM also
prepared technical memorandums summarizing the
results of the air quality modeling conducted for the
project. The air quality analysis considered the
construction and operational components of the project
including toxic air contaminants. Additionally, as part of the EA, AECOM prepared a National Historic Preservation Act cultural resources analysis and report for consultation under Section 106. Each environmental resource was
analyzed in the EA using HUD’s Statutory Checklist (24
CFR 58.5) and by following HUD environmental review
factors and guidelines. Based on the EA analysis, the
findings indicate that with incorporation of specified
mitigation measures and best management practices, no
significant impacts would result. A Finding of No
Significant Effect (FONSI) was prepared for the project.
