These materials may be used by CITY as it sees fit.

HOLD HARMLESS
A. CONSULTANT hereby agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless CITY, its officers, elected or appointed officials, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, judgments, demands and defense costs (including, without limitation, costs and fees of litigation of every nature or liability of any kind or nature) arising out of or in connection with CONSULTANT's (or CONSULTANT's subcontractors, if any) negligent (or alleged negligent) performance of this Agreement or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement by CONSULTANT, its officers, agents or employees except such loss or damage which was caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. CONSULTANT will conduct all defense at its sole cost and expense and CITY shall approve selection of CONSULTANT's counsel. This indemnity shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by CONSULTANT.

B. To the extent that CONSULTANT performs "Design Professional Services" within the meaning of Civil Code Section 2782.8, then the following Hold Harmless provision applies in place of subsection A above:
26-17868/408355 3 of 11
"CONSULTANT hereby agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless CITY and its officers, elected or appointed officials, employees, agents and volunteers, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, demands and defense costs (including, without limitation, costs and fees of litigation of every nature or liability of any kind of nature) to the extent that the claims against CONSULTANT arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT. In no event shall the cost to defend charged to CONSULTANT exceed CONSULTANT's proportionate percentage of fault. However, notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event one or more other defendants to the claims and/or litigation is unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the business, CONSULTANT shall meet and confer with CITY and other defendants regarding unpaid defense costs. The duty to indemnify, including the duty and the cost to defend, is limited as provided in California Civil Code Section 2782.8.

C. Regardless of whether subparagraph A or B applies, CITY shall be reimbursed by CONSULTANT for all costs and attorney's fees incurred by CITY in enforcing this obligation.

This indemnity shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by CONSULTANT.

PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE
CONSULTANT shall obtain and furnish to CITY a professional liability insurance policy covering the work performed by it hereunder. This policy shall provide coverage for CONSULTANT's professional liability in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and in the aggregate. The above-mentioned insurance shall not contain a self-insured retention without the express written consent of CITY; however an insurance 26-17868/408355 4 of 11
policy "deductible" of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or less is permitted. A claims-made policy shall be acceptable if the policy further provides that:

A. The policy retroactive date coincides with or precedes the initiation of the scope of work (including subsequent policies purchased as renewals or replacements).

B. CONSULTANT shall notify CITY of circumstances or incidents that might give rise to future claims.

CONSULTANT will make every effort to maintain similar insurance during the required extended period of coverage following PROJECT completion. If insurance is terminated for any reason, CONSULTANT agrees to purchase an extended reporting provision of at least two (2) years to report claims arising from work performed in connection with this Agreement.

If CONSULTANT fails or refuses to produce or maintain the insurance required by this section or fails or refuses to furnish the CITY with required proof that insurance has been procured and is in force and paid for, the CITY shall have the right, at the CITY's election, to forthwith terminate this Agreement. Such termination shall not effect Consultant's right to be paid for its time and materials expended prior to notification of termination. CONSULTANT waives the right to receive compensation and agrees to indemnify the CITY for any work performed prior to approval of insurance by the CITY.

10. CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE
Prior to commencing performance of the work hereunder, CONSULTANT shall furnish to CITY a certificate of insurance subject to approval of the City Attorney evidencing the foregoing insurance coverage as required by this Agreement; the certificate shall:

A. provide the name and policy number of each carrier and policy; B. state that the policy is currently in force; and
26-17868/408355 5 of 11
shall promise that such policy shall not be suspended, voided or canceled by either party, reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice; however, ten (10) days' prior written notice in the event of cancellation for nonpayment of premium.

CONSULTANT shall maintain the foregoing insurance coverage in force until the work under this Agreement is fully completed and accepted by CITY.

The requirement for carrying the foregoing insurance coverage shall not derogate from CONSULTANT's defense, hold harmless and indemnification obligations as set forth in this Agreement. CITY or its representative shall at all times have the right to demand the original or a copy of the policy of insurance. CONSULTANT shall pay, in a prompt and timely manner, the premiums on the insurance hereinabove required.

11. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
CONSULTANT is, and shall be, acting at all times in the performance of this Agreement as an independent contractor herein and not as an employee of CITY. CONSULTANT shall secure at its own cost and expense, and be responsible for any and all payment of all taxes, social security, state disability insurance compensation, unemployment compensation and other payroll deductions for CONSULTANT and its officers, agents and employees and all business licenses, if any, in connection with the PROJECT and/or the services to be performed hereunder.

12. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
All work required hereunder shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner.

CITY may terminate CONSULTANT's services hereunder at any time with or without cause, and whether or not the PROJECT is fully complete. Any termination of this Agreement by CITY shall be made in writing, notice of which shall be delivered to CONSULTANT as provided herein. In the 26-17868/408355 6 of11
event of termination, all finished and unfinished documents, exhibits, report, and evidence shall, at the option of CITY, become its property and shall be promptly delivered to it by CONSULTANT.

As an on-call consultant, EPD functions as an extension of City staff. We are accustomed to managing multiple concurrent task orders, responding quickly to staff requests, and tailoring the level of effort to match project complexity, schedule, and budget constraints.

AIR QUALITY AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS ANALYSES, ENERGY STUDIES, AND HEALTH RISK

ASSESSMENTS
Air quality/GHG emissions and human health risks have become focal points on every project, which demands expert knowledge and the preparation of clear and concise analyses that include, when necessary, implementable mitigation measures. EPD's Technical Services team includes air quality specialists who are experienced in conducting Air Quality and GH Assessments that comply with the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) requirements and guidance materials and with projects that have the potential to result in significant air quality impacts. EPD also prepares Health Risk Assessments (HRAs) and has working knowledge of SCAQMD's HRA requirements, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, and the California Air Resources Board HRA model, Hotspots Analysis Reporting Program (HARP).

NOISE AND VIBRATION IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
EPD prepares noise and vibration analyses to support CEQA documentation for development and public projects, with a focus on clear thresholds, defensible methodologies, and practical mitigation measures. EPD evaluates both construction-related and operational noise sources, including grading and building construction, mechanical equipment, loading activities, and project-related traffic. In coastal and mixed-use settings, EPD also evaluates land use compatibility and noise sensitivity for projects near visitor-serving uses, parks, and residential neighborhoods. For projects with potential vibration sensitivity, EPD evaluates vibration impacts associated with construction activities and equipment and recommends avoidance and minimization measures where needed. EPD also supports lead agencies with preparation of clear and enforceable mitigation measures, including construction management measures, equipment limitations, shielding/barriers, operational controls, and performance standards, as appropriate.

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES AND REGULATORY PERMITTING SERVICES EPD's biological services include baseline biological resource assessments to support CEQA and land use entitlements, focused and protocol-level surveys for sensitive species (e.g., burrowing owl, coastal California gnatcatcher, least Bell's vireo, Crotch's bumblebee), habitat evaluations for special-status plants and wildlife species, due diligence studies, consistency analyses, nesting bird surveys, various pre-construction clearance surveys for plants and wildlife species, and biological monitoring. Our team of specialists conduct aquatic resource delineations in accordance with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) requirements, riparian habitat assessments, and wetland delineations. For complex or phased projects, our services include the preparation of long-term habitat mitigation and monitoring plans, long-term management plans, conservation easement coordination, compliance monitoring, and integration of biological mitigation into Specific Plans, General Plan updates, and large-scale entitlement programs.

WHERE EXPERIENCE AND PASSION MEET —
compliance, and long-term coastal hazards within a dynamic and highly regulated coastal environment. Huntington Beach's General Plan and Coastal Resiliency Program explicitly identify low-lying areas — including Sunset Beach, Huntington Harbour, and zones south of the Pier - as highly vulnerable to projected sea level rise and associated flooding by mid-century, framing resiliency as a regulatory and infrastructural priority in every major development review. The California Coastal Commission recently approved a $499,000 grant to the City to plan for sea level rise, including to update its Local Coastal Program (LCP), Coastal Resilience Plan, and Floodplain Ordinance. Recent and proposed developments such as infill in the downtown core and waterfront projects at Huntington Harbour bring these issues to the forefront, requiring developers to integrate adaptive design measures and hazard mitigation strategies that go beyond minimum code compliance. These projects are reviewed under CEQA and Coastal Act frameworks that increasingly demand sophisticated modeling for future sea level rise scenarios, shoreline change, and storm impacts as part of environmental documentation, and EPD's team has experience successfully navigating these frameworks.

Huntington Beach developers must navigate the complex intersection of housing demand, State policy enforcement, and coastal resource protection. The City's ongoing efforts to advance housing projects - from small coastal residential developments along Pacific Coast Highway to larger master plans like the Magnolia Tank Farm site - must reconcile policies for public access, visual resources, shoreline hazards, and environmentally sensitive habitat areas. EPD well understands the growing tension between local autonomy and State land-use mandates in high- impact geographies, and we know the City faces growing tensions to accommodate growth, adopt compliant housing planning in its Housing Element, and meet its certified CP and Coastal Act obligations. EPD regularly advises clients on Housing Element consistency and entitlement strategy, and leads complex regulatory coordination efforts for projects requiring LCP amendments, substantial Coastal Development Permits, and concurrent City and Coastal Commission approvals. EPD's role on the Magnolia Tank Farm Project (2016-2020) demonstrates this expertise, encompassing pre-entitlement strategy, entitlement processing, project management, and full CEQA compliance.

Biological sensitivity is a defining feature of Huntington Beach's coastal planning environment, given the proximity of major development sites to critical habitats such as the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve and the Huntington State Beach Dunes. Projects like the Huntington State Beach Dune Restoration Project highlight the City's commitment to protecting coastal species, enhancing ecosystem function, and strengthening resilience to sea level rise. For developments near these sensitive resources, EPD leads comprehensive biological surveys, multi-agency coordination, and mitigation strategies that integrate habitat protection into project design, support regulatory compliance, and ensure long-term project viability.

EPD has developed an approach to environmental compliance that emphasizes early issue identification, clear communication, and objective, technically robust analysis to proactively address the regulatory, technical, and public challenges commonly encountered by development projects in Huntington Beach's highly dynamic and closely scrutinized planning environment.

LOCAL, STATE, AND REGIONAL EXPERIENCE

SUMMARY OF RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
EPD has extensive experience preparing and reviewing CEQA documents for municipal planning and development projects similar in scope, complexity, and regulatory context to those anticipated by the City of Huntington Beach. Over the past 13 years, EPD has supported cities and public agencies throughout Southern California with on-call CEQA services, including the preparation of Initial Studies, NDs/MNDs, EIRs, CEQA addenda and streamlining analyses, and technical studies, peer review services, and interagency coordination. Over the last decade, we have prepared more than 230 CEQA documents for proposed projects in Orange County and more than 2,200 projects in southern California.

EPD's recent work for the City of Tustin demonstrates our ability to manage multiple complex CEQA efforts concurrently under aggressive schedules. EPD prepared two expedited EIRs and one SEIR concurrently for the City of Tustin's three major rezone efforts related to the City's approved Housing Element shortfall sites. Each project required the preparation of independent VMT Analyses, Traffic Impact Assessments, Air Quality Impact Analyses, Noise Impact Analyses, and Cultural Resources Assessments to support the CEQA findings, and all three EIRs were prepared and publicly circulated within one year of the kickoff date with the City. These projects demonstrate EPD's ability to deliver high-quality work on accelerated schedules to meet State housing law deadlines and deliver legally defensible CEQA documents that advance critical policy objectives.

As an on-call consultant to the City of Irvine, EPD functions as an extension of City staff, conducting expedited peer reviews of applicant-prepared CEQA documents and technical studies and advising City staff on CEQA strategy and legal defensibility. In the last year we have peer reviewed documentation for eight consecutive projects for the City, demonstrating our team's depth and capacity to perform.

EPD's direct experience working with the City of Huntington Beach includes the preparation of an Addendum to the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan EIR No. 89-1 (SCH No. 89010412), originally certified by the City in 1990. This effort demonstrates our team's ability to strategically leverage prior CEQA documentation, streamline environmental review, and deliver efficient, defensible CEQA compliance and technical analysis services that are aligned with Huntington Beach's development environment and rigorous analytical standards.

POLICY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
EPD's versatile team of planners routinely supports municipal clients with a wide range of traditional planning services, functioning seamlessly as an extension of City staff. The broad experience of EPD's staff members enables EPD to prepare interdepartmental memos and staff reports, develop Conditions of Approval, draft resolutions and ordinances, Findings, and Resolutions, and present before decision-making bodies on behalf of the cities we serve. Our team assists decision-makers at every level of the planning organization-from Associate to Principal Planners in both Current and Advanced Planning. This includes advising on the appropriate level of environmental documentation, supporting cities in adopting standards that reflect up-to-date State legislation, and pivoting to more traditional, comprehensive documentation for complex or controversial projects where a robust administrative record is essential. EPD's planning staff also has expertise to assist with planning-related tasks such as, but not limited to, conducting research on various land use and planning issues, assisting City staff in reviewing applications and/or the review of applications and plans for completeness and adequacy.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH
EPD's team has significant expertise in public participation and community outreach activities and can lead public workshops, charrettes, and other community outreach efforts to maximize public involvement. EPD will coordinate, prepare handouts, questionnaires and PowerPoint presentations, and as needed, lead public scoping meetings, public workshops, and/or public hearings as necessary for projects. EPD will also be available to consult with all applicable federal, State, and local agencies, stakeholders, and the public as requested by the City. EPD also has extensive experience in conducting tribal consultations and can assist the City with organizing and facilitating required tribal consultations under SB 18 and AB 52.

DUE DILIGENCE, ENTITLEMENTS, DEVELOPMENT, AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT EPD seeks to understand our client's goals before embarking on due diligence activities so we can constantly measure a property's potential for achieving those goals. Through rigorous and tested means, we analyze issues such as physical obstacles to development, including but not limited to existing and planned infrastructure locations and capacities, biological, cultural and site constructability concerns, planning and development policies that could affect the viability of a project design or entitlement process, entitlement processing schedules, fee estimating, and social political considerations. We provide thorough and robust analyses in support of entitlement strategy-setting and financing packages, creating confidence in project viability, because we thoroughly understand the geographic, social, regulatory, and political landscapes in which our clients seek to develop projects.

SPECIALIZED STAFF TRAINING
EPD prioritizes knowledge-sharing and capacity-building for the municipalities we support by providing tailored CEQA training to lead agency staff. Topics include foundational CEQA concepts, annual legislative updates, Housing Element requirements, and the use of CEQA streamlining EPD Solutions, Inc. Page 8 of 20

provisions, such as tiering from certified Program- and Project-level EIRs. EPD's team hosts interactive workshops, seminars, and individualized mentorship programs, covering both technical and regulatory developments that are geographically tailored to each agency's needs.

We recognize that legally defensible outcomes depend on a shared understanding of CEQA requirements, best practices, and emerging case law. Our specialized training programs are practical and directly applicable to staff's day-to-day responsibilities, covering topics such as recent CEQA court decisions, defensible findings and statements of overriding considerations, administrative record development, public comment responses, and coordination between planning, public works, and legal counsel. By pairing rigorous environmental analysis with proactive staff education, EPD supports lead agencies in making informed, well-documented decisions that stand up to scrutiny. This integrated approach not only strengthens legal defensibility but also improves efficiency, consistency, and confidence throughout the entitlement and environmental review process.

LEGAL CHALLENGES TO ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS
In a regulatory environment as complex and closely scrutinized as Huntington Beach, legal defensibility is a critical consideration for both project-level approvals and long-range planning initiatives. Over the past 13 years, EPD has produced more than 2,000 CEQA documents, several of which have been subject to legal challenge-reflecting the inherently contentious nature of land use and development in California, rather than deficiencies in the documents themselves.

Throughout this period, EPD has worked closely with lead agency staff and legal counsel to support the administrative record, respond effectively to litigation, and defend the technical basis of our analyses. As a result, none of EPD's projects have been invalidated or denied due to deficiencies in the environmental analysis, underscoring our commitment to producing legally defensible, high-quality environmental documents.

After more than a decade of continuous practice, only one environmental document has required limited analytical refinement as a result of a legal writ of mandate —and that outcome did not invalidate the overall document or associated project approvals, but instead involved targeted revisions consistent with the court's direction. This record reflects EPD's emphasis on conservative, well-supported analyses; clear and enforceable mitigation; and a disciplined approach to issue identification and documentation-all of which are hallmarks of CEQA documents that withstand legal scrutiny.

EPD also maintains a deep bench of in- house and external expertise, cultivated through long-standing partnerships with trusted specialists who share our commitment to excellence and our ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously.

QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
Quality control and assurance is integrated into EPD's project preparation, review, and delivery processes. EPD conducts weekly team meetings to ensure that key team members stay up to date on projects and ensure that support is provided where needed. EPD inputs project information and shareable, living schedules into shared Smartsheet, where teams can stay up to date on project tasks and deadlines and provide progress notes along the way.

As project documentation is finalized, EPD performs an internal peer and Project Manager review, followed by technical editing and senior level review to ensure that documentation is consistent, accurate, complete, and organized prior to submitting to clients. EPD's standard QA/QC process is also supported by in-house legal review to ensure that EPD's environmental and planning documents are legally defensible and comply with all applicable local, State, and federal laws.

COST CONTROL, BUDGET MONITORING, AND SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT EPD maintains rigorous internal controls and management systems to ensure that projects are completed within approved budgets, schedules, and scopes. Our approach provides real-time visibility into project performance, enabling our team to maintain strict cost control, immediately address misalignments, and deliver accurate, timely invoices.

WHERE EXPERIENCE AND PASSION MEET —

INTERNAL CONTROLS AND COST MANAGEMENT
EPD utilizes Deltek Vantagepoint, an enterprise resource planning system tailored for professional services firms that enables budget management, expenditure tracking, and cost forecasting, boosting visibility and efficiency. This platform allows Project Managers and senior leadership to instantly review project budgets, labor utilization, subconsultant costs, and contract balances daily, ensuring that all work aligns with authorized task orders and client expectations.

Project invoices are generated directly from Deltek Vantagepoint and undergo a three-step internal review: first by the Project Manager to verify scope and task completion, then by the senior director overseeing the program of services. This tiered review process ensures that all invoices are clear, compliant, and submitted promptly to the appropriate reviewing authorities.

BUDGET AND SCHEDULE MONITORING
Using Deltek's dashboard and reporting tools, EPD monitors project performance in real time- comparing actual versus budgeted hours, direct expenses, and schedule milestones. Regular internal progress reviews reinforce accountability and provide opportunities for early corrective actions, when appropriate. At-a-glance monitoring also gives visibility to EPD's managers and leaders to enable accurate workload forecasting and balancing, which is particularly useful when managing multiple simultaneous project deliveries for our municipal on-call clients.

TECHNIQUES FOR ON-TIME PROJECT DELIVERY
EPD's team employs a combination of structured project planning and communication strategies to meet all scheduled commitments:
• Detailed work plans with defined milestones, deliverables, and review periods. • Weekly project status meetings to track progress and coordinate with City staff. • Real-time task tracking and forecasting in Deltek Vantagepoint to monitor upcoming deadlines and staff workloads.
• Proactive communication and issue resolution to prevent delays and maintain schedule integrity.

By combining the capabilities of Deltek Vantagepoint with disciplined management practices and transparent client communication, EPD ensures all projects are delivered within approved budgets, schedules, and scopes -consistently and reliably.

EPD'S CLIENT SATISFACTION
EPD understands that successful on-call consulting depends on more than technical expertise- it requires responsiveness, flexibility, and a collaborative working relationship with City staff.
