2 Research showed that when the Chino Hills Plant was built in 1963, it was one of the most technologically advanced plants in the country and was the largest plant west of the Mississippi River. During nearly 50 years of operation, the Chino Hills Plant produced 4.5 billion bricks. A site form and report describing the Plant the history of brick making was prepared by Mr. Strudwick.

South Shores Church, South Shores Church Monitoring Project, Dana Point, Orange County, California Mr. Strudwick was the Qualified Archaeologist for this project and completed all record searches and reporting for the project. The initial work for this project was conducted during a period from 2010 to 2013, when a CEQAlevel record search and survey of the approximately 6-acre South Shore Church project area was conducted.

The project area was located at 32712 Crown Valley Parkway in the hills of Dana Point, near South Laguna. No resources were identified within the project area, but the proximity to known sites led the City of Dana Point to require a Cultural Resource Monitoring Plan (CRMP). In 2017, a CRMP was prepared to avoid impacts to unrecorded cultural resources within the project area during demolition of existing church buildings and construction of new church buildings on the property. The CRMP outlined procedures to follow during grounddisturbing construction activities in case of unanticipated discoveries of cultural resources or human bone.

Centex Homes, Fairfield Ranch—Survey and Test Excavation, Chino Hills, California In October 1998, Mr. Strudwick conducted a record search, a 161-acre survey, and archaeological test excavation of two resources adjacent to the Prado Flood Control Basin. The project was conducted for Centex Homes’ Fairfield Ranch residential development pursuant to the State CEQA Guidelines. Two new resources, an isolated core (P-36-64202) and a historic water irrigation system (SBR-9895H), were recorded and four resources—two prehistoric sites (CA-SBR-4212 and CA-SBR-5245) and two historic sites (Dan Durkee Ditch and Kramer Farm)—were updated. Archaeological testing of the two previously recorded prehistoric sites was conducted. No trace of CA-SBR-4212 was found during testing. Site CA-SBR-5245 was found to be a small temporary camp with limited habitation debris. Collected material included flaked and ground stone artifacts, as well as some bone. One obsidian pressure flake was also found during testing. Studies showed that the obsidian originated in the Coso Volcanic field and was last flaked 1,600 to 2,500 years ago. The sites were determined to be not important per CEQA, and the work was documented in a survey/test report.

California Department of Parks and Recreation, El Morro Elementary School Expansion Project, San Joaquin Hills, California
As part of a land swap between the State Department of Parks and Recreation and the Irvine Company, Mr. Strudwick directed a cultural resource survey and archaeological site testing at Crystal Cove State Park in the San Joaquin Hills for the proposed expansion of El Morro Elementary School. The California Department of Parks and Recreation donated 5 acres along Pacific Coast Highway near El Morro Elementary School in Laguna Beach for the school expansion in exchange for 35 acres along the crest of the San Joaquin Hills, south of the SR-73 Toll Road. The project surveys of both parcels and a boundary test of previously recorded site CA-ORA280, near the school. Previously unrecorded site CA-ORA-1482 was found during the survey of the 5-acre parcel, resulting excavation of backhoe trenches, shovel test pits, and 1- x 1-meter (3.3 x 3.3 ft) units. Work was conducted with Juaneño Native American Monitor, Joyce Perry, who was present during all excavation.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
City of Martinez, 800 Escobar Street Project, Martinez, California Mr. Hibma served as Architectural Historian to prepare a Historic Resource Evaluation for this project. At the request of the Martinez City Manager, Mr.

Hibma conducted background research, a field survey, and consultation for a single-story commercial building built in 1920 at 800 Escobar Street in Downtown Martinez. Mr. Hibma evaluated the architectural qualities of the building for inclusion in the California Register and under local criteria described in the Martinez Downtown Overlay District within the Martinez Downtown Specific Plan. Mr. Hibma concluded that this building did not appear eligible for listing in the California Register or for local designation and was not a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA.

City of Berkeley, 2546-2588 Bancroft Way Proposed Project Development Impacts Analysis, Landmark Properties, Inc., Berkeley, California Mr. Hibma served as Architectural Historian to prepare a Project Impacts Analysis (PIA) for a proposed project to redevelop the 0.67-acre project site with a mix of new construction and partial rehabilitation. The project also involved the re-use of the Fred Turner Building, a single-story multi-unit commercial boutique building designed in 1940 by famed architect Julia Morgan. The Fred Turner Building is NRHP-eligible, designated Berkeley City Landmark #49, and a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA. The PIA consisted of a two-step process. The first step analyzed the scope and nature of the design for compatibility with the character-defining features of the Fred Turner Building. For this, Mr. Hibma applied the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. The second step assessed whether any potentially discordant aspects of the proposed design would cause a “substantial adverse change” (i.e., physical demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration of the resource or its immediate surroundings) in the

City of Menlo Park, 389 El Camino Real Project, Menlo Park, California Mr. Hibma served as Architectural Historian for this project and prepared an Architectural Eligibility Evaluation.

Mr. Hibma prepared a preliminary analysis as phase one of a two-phase environmental review process to identify the next step in determining whether to prepare an IS/MND or a Focused EIR pursuant to CEQA. The architectural study consisted of a literature review, a records search, archival research, review of County Assessor/Recorder records, consultation with potentially interested parties, and a field survey. The background research and field survey resulted in the identification of two cultural resources, a single-family residence constructed c. 1910-1925 located at 612 Partridge Avenue, and a multi-family residential triplex built in 1948 at 603-607 College Avenue. The resources were evaluated and recorded on DPR 523 forms. The study determined that despite the relatively high level of architectural integrity, the two resources were not eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources for their lack of historical significance and association.

City of Walnut Creek, Heather Farm Aquatic/Community Center Project, Walnut Creek, California Mr. Hibma is currently serving as the Architectural Historian for this project. The City proposes to demolish the existing Community Center (built 1971) and Clarke Memorial Swim Center (built 1973) and redevelop the 4.7- acre area within the 107-acre Heather Farm Park with a combined aquatic/community center. Mr. Hibma conducted background research, archival research, and a pedestrian field survey to prepare an HRE with a DPR 523 to contain a combined NRHP and CRHR-based eligibility evaluation.

City of Milpitas, 1724 Sunnyhills Court Project IS/MND, Milpitas, California Mr. Hibma served as Architectural Historian and prepared the HRE required by CEQA. The HRE determined that the entire apartment complex appeared to be eligible for listing on the CRHR. To determine whether the demolition of the existing leasing/community building, and construction of the new buildings would result in a substantial adverse change in the significance of the potential resource, he also prepared a Historical Resources Impact Assessment (HRIA). The HRIA determined that the project as proposed would be consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, and demolition and construction would not result in a significant impact.

G4 Architecture/City of Foster City, Foster City Recreation Center Replacement Project IS/MND, Foster City, California
Mr. Hibma is currently serving as the Architectural Historian for this project. The City proposes to redevelop the existing William E. Walker Recreation Center (Recreation Center) located within Leo J. Ryan Park. Mr. Hibma prepared California State Department of Parks and Recreation Series 523 (DPR 523) form record that contained a CRHR-based eligibility evaluation. Background research and field survey found the Walker Community Center, built in 1974, is associated with the early growth of Foster City and for its general architectural characteristics of Second Bay Tradition. However, the building did not appear eligible due to a lack of integrity as a result of subsequent alterations in 1998 and 2002. Accordingly, the Recreation Center did not appear eligible for inclusion in the CRHR due to a lack of significance and does not appear a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA.

The City of Richmond was ceded the Terminal 4 facility over the last few years. As part of our on-call contract with the Client, we were charged with assessing the former Terminal 4 facility for potential hazardous building materials. This process aided the Client in ascertaining what to do with the facility (demolition or renovation, etc.). The Terminal 4 facility is composed of a large wharf/pier, a large dilapidated warehouse and an old, dilapidated residence (right on the water). We were not allowed onto the pier or into the warehouse or residence due to safety concerns that it might slide into San Francisco Bay during our sampling activities. As part of our sampling efforts, we arranged the rental of a 90-foot boom lift to sample inside the warehouse and residential structures. We also arranged to hire an approximately 40-foot fishing boat to observe and sample the bayside areas of the wharf/pier. The soil around a former underground storage tank was also sampled and analyzed as part of this assessment.

CITY OF PINOLE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING SERVICES | STANTEC 5 B. LOCAL FAMILIARITY
We understand the City of Pinole is seeking qualified
consultants to provide on-call environmental planning
services for development projects and long-range planning initiatives. We understand the City has a variety of
proposed developments, with the majority of proposed
developments being residential developments with some
commercial and industrial uses. The City has also made
housing a top priority and recently adopted the 2023-2031 Housing Element to accommodate the City’s Regional
Housing Needs Allocation of 500 new housing units.

These major projects indicate Pinole is likely to attract further growth and transformation in the years to come.

Implementation of the 2023-2031 Housing Element will also facilitate opportunities to provide new housing at all income levels in the City. As such, it will be important for the City to retain on-call environmental consultants with a deep
understanding of local context and setting, as well as
provide a broad range of experience with the ability to tackle all types of new projects proposed in the City.

Stantec’s Planning and Environmental Services team has experience working across the Bay Area, from supporting the City of Santa Rosa on the Caritas Village Project and the 3575 Mendocino Avenue Project, to supporting the cities of Vallejo, Vacaville, Redwood City, San Mateo, Foster City, and San Carlos on infill and redevelopment residential, mixed-use, commercial, and industrial projects. Notably, we have provided CEQA services to the City of Redwood City on approximately a dozen projects in the last five years. In addition, we regularly assist City staff with entitlement, zoning, and land use strategies and advise project applicants on approaches related to the necessary technical studies for their entitlement applications.

With our experience in these nearby cities, we understand the local challenges and considerations you may face in Pinole. For example, we understand the City is largely built out but includes opportunities for infill mixed-use developments in a strategically located area near the nearby employment centers. Additionally, we understand the City is characterized by regionally servicing retail services along I-80, a historic downtown area, gently rolling hills and steel hillsides to the north and south, and established residential neighborhoods. Stantec has extensive experience in infill development projects, including expertise in utilizing CEQA exemptions and streamlining. Our approach incorporates CEQA streamlining strategies, such as “Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning” (California PRC Section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183), “Infill Exemption” (California Senate Bill (SB) 226 Streamlining), and “Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment” (SCEA) provisions under SB 375. We are currently working with the City of Napa to prepare an SCEA for a mixed-use development located along the City’s waterfront. We also prepared the Bay Area’s first SCEA with the City of Daly City for the Brunswick Street Apartment Project (see insert above), which was a Transit Priority Project (TPP) and therefore, qualified for CEQA streamlining under SB 375.

With our experience on a number of infill development projects within the Bay Area, we understand the careful consideration of project location impacts and how that plays into the CEQA process to ensure developments remain resilient and sustainable over time. Stantec is helping many communities realize how implementation of CEQA and coordinated land use planning can support their vision for the future and helping agencies and engineers on that vision. For years, we’ve helped communities to complete and utilize CEQA as a tool for transparent analysis, and not a barrier to growth. As your partner in planning and environmental compliance, Stantec is very well suited to help the City tackle the diversity of challenges that may arise.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT:

Stantec prepared the first Sustainable Communities
Environmental Assessment in the Bay Area for the
200-unit infill affordable housing project in Daly City under the streamline provisions of SB 375. This
solution allowed the project to proceed without
requiring an EIR and resulted in a legally defensible
document at a reduced cost with a shorter entitlement
process of 9 months instead of 24 months.

CITY OF PINOLE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING SERVICES | STANTEC 11 Section D
Description and Approach

IN THIS SECTION
A. Approach to On-Call Contracts
B. Approach to CEQA Services
C. In-House Specialty Environmental Services

CITY OF PINOLE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING SERVICES | STANTEC 12 A. APPROACH TO ON-CALL CONTRACTS
We will provide a full range of environmental services to the City of Pinole as needed. As Principal-in-Charge and Program Manager, Trevor Macenski’s primary
responsibility will involve providing our project managers with adequate resources to respond to your needs and
efficiently deliver high-quality projects in a timely manner.

Trevor has the authority to reassign staff and pull
additional resources as needed.

We currently hold nearly 30 on-call environmental service contracts and have successfully completed hundreds of
CEQA/NEPA documents for lead agencies in California.

From complex exemption packages to addenda; EIRs to
SCEAs; and all the initial study mitigated negative
declarations (ISMNDs) and exemptions in between, our
CEQA experience is as wide-ranging as the strategies
allowed for under CEQA. We encourage you to contact
our references provided in Section H.C (page 26) to learn more about the success we have had with on-call
contracts in the Bay Area and our commitment to quality.

The key to successful completion of any on-call contract is frequent and meaningful communication between City
staff and Stantec as it relates to technical, project, and financial objectives. It is our standard protocol to
document meetings and important telephone
conversations. As assignments are identified, the
assigned project manager’s first steps will be to:
• Request the technical objectives and goals from the
City.
• Review all available drawings and other applicable
technical information provided by the City.
• Request any critical paths and/or constraints of the
City for the particular assignment.

Upon receipt of the assignment, our project manager will:
• Identify the staff that will be the best fit for the assignment. • Initiate an internal project kick-off meeting to establish roles and responsibilities. • Query key team members as to potential or applicable technical or procedural innovations that may facilitate project completion (e.g., regulatory precedence, permit streamlining, cost saving scenarios) • Schedule a meeting (as needed) with the City to finalize the assignment approach, deliverables, and schedule.

As needed throughout the assignment, meetings with the City will allow both parties to evaluate both approach and progress, and if necessary, redirect resources to achieve agreed upon modifications to the assignment and/or schedule. Stantec’s overall detailed approach to project management and the QA/QC process are outlined above in the 10-Point Project Management Framework.

CITY OF PINOLE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING SERVICES | STANTEC 13 B. APPROACH TO CEQA SERVICES
Stantec will work with City staff in balancing the collection of detailed environmental data necessary to comply with CEQA while confirming the applicability and need for any additional state and federal regulatory compliance that might require more focused site analyses (e.g., historic resource evaluations). Our approach facilitates the development of a comprehensive impact analysis while simultaneously identifying the need for any future compliance and/or permit-level analysis and specific mitigation requirements, which streamlines the broader environmental compliance process. The approach outlined below focuses on CEQA and would be tailored to a specific project.

Develop Project Description and Context. Stantec will assist the City in defining the precise location and boundaries of all the components, facilities, and associated infrastructure required to construct and operate a proposed project.

We will work with the City and its staff to define and document the project details as soon as possible and to identify when it might be appropriate to make certain assumptions to allow the project to remain on schedule.

Conduct Preliminary Environmental Compliance Review. After specific project element descriptions are clearly defined, Stantec conducts a preliminary environmental compliance review to determine whether the project is subject to CEQA. In this review, we will conduct a preliminary screening to determine the appropriate CEQA approach for the project.

Conduct Initial Study. In certain instances where we know early on that a proposed activity will have the potential to significantly impact the environment and that preparation of an EIR will be required, we may recommend the City to approve the preparation of an Initial Study to focus the topics of the EIR to only those with potentially significant impacts. In other circumstances, Stantec may recommend immediately proceeding with preparation of the EIR when it is evident that the project may be controversial or have the potential for significant impacts.

Prepare EIR Documents. When there is substantial evidence via Stantec’s expertise and in consultation with the City that a proposed project may have significant impacts on the environment, Stantec will provide the technical capabilities and expertise necessary to assist in preparing an EIR, including but not limited to: defining the project description; identifying project stakeholders; preparing the notice of preparation and providing a 30-day public review; conducting public scoping/stakeholder meetings; preparing technical reports and a Draft EIR for internal team review; circulating the public draft EIR for a 45-day review period; drafting responses to comments received on the draft EIR; preparing a final EIR, including responses to comments and a mitigation monitoring and reporting program; and circulating the document for (typically) a 10-day review period; preparing findings and, if necessary, overriding considerations to support a lead agency’s final decision on the project.

Because the scope and requirements of CEQA documentation can vary by project type and location, we establish scopes of work and EIR methodology on a project-specific basis. Regardless of the location of a project and, whenever possible, we encourage the concept of focusing EIRs so only necessary technical areas are addressed, thus reducing both time and scope. Alternatively, we have experience preparing CEQA documentation in accordance with streamline provisions of SB 375 and SB 226. We have also provided guidance and policy recommendations to our urban municipalities like the City of San Jose on current topics like VMT threshold development.

PEER REVIEW OF APPLICANT-PROVIDED TECHNICAL STUDIES
Stantec has experience working seamlessly with cities to provide peer review of technical studies to verify approach, methodology, and defensibility of environmental analysis provided in the studies. From BAAQMD to CDFW, USFWS, BCDC and everything between, Stantec’s in-house resource specialists (led by the Key Team Members identified in Section C.B), have first-hand experience and knowledge of state and federal regulations and permitting processes, a defensibility and efficiency benefit to Pinole.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND PRESENTATIONS
Stantec has the in-house experience facilitating the community engagement processes, and attendance at and presentation of project documents at community scoping sessions, project workshops, and public hearings (scoping meetings, Planning Commission, City Council, etc.). As a council member and planning commission chair, respectively, Stantec’s management team, Trevor Macenski and Anna Radonich, have a demonstrated ability to effectively communicate and present technical information to the public and approval bodies. From teaching sessions

CITY OF PINOLE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING SERVICES | STANTEC 14 on CEQA approaches and planning commissioner basics, to facilitating public participation in the environmental review process, Stantec’s bench of experts (Key Team Members identified in Section C.B) has a strong and effective relationships with state and federal agencies that participate in the environmental review and permitting processes. We are knowledgeable of the Pinole community and local stakeholder economic and environmental values and concerns.

COMPREHENSIVE QUALITY ASSURANCE/ QUALITY CHECK
Stantec has an established internal quality management approach that helps us continuously improve our client delivery services. Stantec’s Project Management Framework contains a mandatory list of ten tasks, to be complied with on all projects or contracts as required by our IS09001- certified quality management practices. Stantec’s team is accountable for the accuracy, completeness, consistency, and schedule of their work and our QA/QC manager will work to confirm that the steps described in our QA/QC plan are applied to all work products prior to submittal.

Stantec’s Project Management Framework aims to achieve a high standard of quality performance in all of our products, services, and work activities. Quality is of the utmost importance to Stantec and is embedded within our culture. Stantec’s use of industry leading quality procedures maintain the integrity and consistency in the work we perform on every project we are a part of.

PROACTIVE STRATEGIES
Each project will be managed mindful of deadlines and milestones. A baseline schedule will be developed at project initiation and maintained throughout the life of the project. Key assumptions and parameters governing the schedule’s logic and key milestones and durations will be prepared in conjunction with City staff. As progress is made, regular project status reports will be submitted, usually to coincide with project status meetings. The reports will typically include the following:
• A brief report on the past period’s activities and planned actions for the upcoming period. • An updated project schedule illustrating the progress to date based on the expenditures approved. • Technical and non-technical issues to be resolved.
• Status of deliverables.

CITY OF PINOLE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING SERVICES | STANTEC 27 CITY OF VALLEJO ON-CALL ENVIRONMENTAL AND

PLANNING SERVICES CONTRACT

VALLEJO, CALIFORNIA
PROJECT SUMMARY: Stantec has provided planning services to the City of Vallejo over the past 5 years under the planning on-call contract supporting development projects. In addition, depending on the complexity, Stantec also has served as City staff for complex entitlement applications and planning processes. Examples of the planning and environmental support services include the following:
• Vallejo Navigation Center Project, HUD EA
• Mare Island Contract Planning Services
• Northern Waterfront Contract Planning Services
• Central North and Central South Waterfront Contract Planning Services
• Connelly Street Corridor Mixed Use Project, CEQA Addendum • Borges Ranch Residential Project, ISMND
• Touro University, Student Housing Project, ISMND
• Ferry Terminal Parking Garage Expansion Project, ISMND • Holiday Development Vallejo Station Phase B Mixed-Use Residential Project, Class 32 Exemption
• City Wide Zoning Code Update and ISMND
• Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Batman Ride, ISMND
• La Quinta Hotel Project, Modified ISMND
LEARNED AND PROJECT OUTCOMES: Stantec has supported the City of Vallejo on a number of unique projects from Supplemental CEQA review preparing Addendum’s to complex EIRs. Some unique challenge to CEQA compliance in Vallejo is the large amount of projects that require BCDC permitting. Stantec has supported the City with multiple BCDC permits, and one of particulate complexity included a waterfront development with a Programmatic EIR with multiple phases, with multiple supplemental CEQA documents and entitlement amendments. In this instance there was a tidally influenced wetland feature missed by the City back in the 1990’s. It required a BCDC permit and Stantec helped the City identify an appropriate CEQA approach and permitting to allow the applicant a path forward.

Re: On-Call Environmental Planning Services
Dear Lilly,
SummitWest Environmental, Inc. (SummitWest) is pleased to present our proposal to the City of Pinole (City), to provide a variety of environmental planning tasks and on-call planning services for all types of projects requesting entitlements.

SummitWest Environmental, Inc. (SummitWest), an S Corporation, CPUC certified woman-owned DBE (#38681), was founded in Glendale, CA in 2010. Our approximately 80 employees, more than fifty of whom are highly qualified technical and field staff, are strategically positioned throughout CA to ensure a local expert can quickly be deployed with little lead time, and service the needs of our diverse client base. In 2020, SummitWest moved its administrative headquarters to Bend, Oregon expanding services into Oregon and Nevada, while maintaining a regional presence in California.

SummitWest respects the pressure that can come with the scale of development that the City is anticipating, along with the rewards that can come when it is implemented comprehensively and cohesively, with appropriate attention to low-income and disadvantaged communities, and an eye towards a sustainable future. For this contract, SummitWest has compiled a comprehensive team of technical experts with both the expertise and availability to be responsive to the City’s requests, ensuring on-call projects are a priority and remain on schedule and within budget.

Our team includes Linsey Blake, Principal Project Manager; Ken Davies, Environmental Planning Lead; Veronika Archer, CEQA Project Manager; and Sean Kennings, Planning Services Lead, who bring over 75 years of combined experience in planning and CEQA compliance. With this depth of experience we provide peer strategic CEQA input with an eye on common pitfalls, potential risks, and possible schedule efficiencies providing the City with the best possible approach to CEQA processing and providing guidance that may result in avoidance of legal challenges, extra cost, or delayed schedule.

SummitWest’s unique business model allows us to be flexible, versatile, and responsive through superior communication tools and strategies. We are committed to creating a cohesive and collaborative team including the City, the SummitWest administrative team, and technical leads and staff on the contract.

We believe effective communication between each component of the team results in increased responsiveness, cost savings, and adherence to the Project Schedule. SummitWest’s team employs communication applications that support our staff in real time and allow instant sharing of project materials between locations. Due to this business model, our staff are highly experienced in team communication irrespective of geographic location. We bring this experience to our clients through responsive communication with accurate project information.

To ensure each project has the requisite technical expertise and adequate support, our in-house team is supplemented by subconsultants with focused technical expertise. Our subconsultants include Evans and www.SummitWestEnv.com

C. DESCRIPTION & APPROACH

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
SummitWest understands that the City is seeking qualified firms to provide professional city planning services for the Planning Division for a contracted period of up to four years. SummitWest is pleased to provide this proposal for both types of on-call contracts, Environmental Services and As-Needed General Planning Services.

We understand the City has both experienced a substantial uptick in development and major updates to the City’s General Plan are in the works. The City is seeking to augment City staff in order to deliver services to the community development and to homeowners while also continuing with its long range planning work. Our team members have provided staff augmentation services to municipalities and understand the unique nature of this work, providing technical expertise while also maintaining the culture and public face that’s consistent with the City’s approach.

Our Principal Project manager, Linsey Blake, oversees the SummitWest team providing similar staff augmentation services to public utilities including Southern California Edison and Southern California Gas.

We work closely with our clients to develop clear communication protocols and document templates so that any materials presented publicly match the voice of the client.

Our Environmental Planning Lead, Sean Kennings, works primarily as an “extension of staff” for a number of municipalities in the Bay Area and is prepared to provide seamless support to the Community so City staff are able to turn their attention to other projects.

PROPOSED SERVICES
The SummitWest Team is qualified to perform all aspects of the on-call environmental and planning services required by this Contract. The following is a summary of the scope of services we are prepared to provide under this Contract.

TASK 1: ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING SERVICES
Our approach to environmental documents including the preparation of Notices of Exemption, Initial Environmental Study Checklists, Negative Declarations, Mitigated Negative Declarations and Environmental Impact Reports emphasizes a close working relationship with the City and early scoping and project definition, along with compliance with appropriate environmental regulations, including CEQA/NEPA, the Federal Clean Water Act, the Federal Endangered Species Act, California Fish and Game Code, the National Historic Preservation Act, and other applicable statutes and regulations.

TASK 1.A: INITIAL STUDIES & NOTICES OF PREPARATION
The CEQA project will be initiated with a clear understanding of the full project description. The project initiation task is a key element of the work program. Project initiation will include review of existing www.SummitWestEnv.com

CITY OF PINOLE

ON-CALL ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING SERVICES
information and data sources as identified by the City, including environmental documents completed for surrounding properties, as well as local and regional planning documents. An extremely important part of the CEQA process is to ensure that the project team, including all the technical experts, understand the project description. A detailed project description is key to kicking off the analysis needed for the environmental document and will include not just the on-site project improvements but also off-site improvements that will occur as a result of the project such as construction access, maintenance access, work areas, and staging areas.

Being clear on all potential environmental clearance requirements at project initiation can significantly reduce both schedule and cost. For example, recognizing a project may impact jurisdictional waters and coordinating with the design team to minimize impacts to waters can avoid a redesign requirement during the waters permitting process.

Once the project description has been defined, an IS will be prepared for the CEQA documentation. The task-specific SummitWest Project Manager will work closely with the City to identify the most appropriate path for CEQA and permitting compliance. For example, if a project is likely to have opposition, an EIR may be selected rather than an MND.

In the EIR process, once the IS is prepared, a Notice of Preparation is issued; it is during this 30-day public review period that agencies typically hold their Public Scoping Session. SummitWest will support the City with any necessary public scoping sessions through noticing the public scoping session, preparation of materials, and collecting and cataloging comments. A copy of the Notice of Preparation (NOP) will be sent to all responsible agencies, trustee agencies, and the State Clearinghouse.

TASK 1.B: NOTICES OF DETERMINATION, ELECTRONICALLY FILING WITH THE STATE CLEARINGHOUSE AND

PHYSICALLY WITH THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY CLERK
SummitWest will prepare the Notice of Determination and submit electronically, along with required attachments, to the State Clearinghouse via CEQA Submit as required. SummitWest will also prepare Notices of Intent (NOI) and will support the City in posting the NOI per Section 21092 of the CEQA statutes.

SummitWest’s staff includes a robust team of support staff prepared to support this contract with technical editing, preparation and mailing of CEQA notifications, preparing physical documents for local libraries and the City for public viewing, and document submission to responsible and regulatory agencies including the State Clearinghouse.

Our support team is managed by Christina Wenborne who has 8 years of experience in managing CEQA documents. We understand the importance of meeting CEQA notification and distribution requirements and having a team managed by someone who’s prepared and produced CEQA documents ensures that the proper process is followed meticulously.

Christina demonstrates an exceptional proficiency in managing a diverse portfolio of over 70 environmental documents, spanning across IS/MNDs, EIRs, Specific Plans, and various technical studies. Her extensive experience in collaborating with the County of Riverside on multifaceted projects, specifically those necessitating public outreach, underscores her adeptness in engaging stakeholders, collecting their feedback, and ensuring comprehensive communication with residents and involved agencies.

TASK 1.C: NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATIONS The SummitWest team will prepare a Negative Declaration or a Mitigated Negative Declaration depending on the need of the project. The appropriate CEQA document will address all the environmental factors www.SummitWestEnv.com

identified in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, identify potentially significant impacts, and propose appropriate measures to mitigate significant impacts as necessary. The results of any technical studies prepared for the project will be incorporated into the analysis.

For MNDs, the IS becomes the documentation that upholds the agency's Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration. Typically, MNDs are circulated with the IS for 30 days. MNDs do not require formal response to comments. However, SummitWest would recommend documentation that provides responses to comments so that the City can document in its administrative file that all comments have been "considered" prior to adoption of the MND. SummitWest, with input from the City, will respond to any public comments received during the 30 day public review period.

TASK 1.D: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTS, SUPPLEMENTAL AND SUBSEQUENT EIRS AND EIR ADDENDUMS The SummitWest Project Manager will work with the City to identify the appropriate CEQA document. If a programmatic or previous CEQA document has been prepared that includes the project, then a subsequent EIR may be the appropriate document. If a project has had changed conditions since the approval of the prior document, an Addendum may be required.

The SummitWest team includes a robust bench of technical experts to support the preparation of an EIR.

EIRs will include the following sections: introduction, executive summary, environmental setting, impact analysis (addressing both direct and indirect impacts), cumulative impacts, growth-inducing impacts, alternatives, and references. Individual projects may create the need to modify and add sections to the EIR.

Each environmental impact analysis section of the EIR will contain a discussion of the existing conditions, thresholds for significance, potential environmental impacts, recommended mitigation measures designed to reduce or avoid any potentially significant impact(s) identified, and an analysis of significance, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR 15126).

TASK 1.E: TECHNICAL STUDIES SUPPORT
The SummitWest team is prepared to support the City with technical studies for CEQA Documents including biological resources and wetland studies, cultural resources studies, traffic analyses, air quality and GHG analyses, acoustical studies, aesthetics and visual analyses, hydrological, geotechnical and other technical analyses.

SummitWest recommends preparing technical studies with the end goal in mind. A technical study that documents existing conditions is different from a technical study that considers impacts to resources in context of regulations governing those resources. Understanding the CEQA and permitting requirements of a project will inform the analysis provided in a technical study.

Our team includes technical experts with decades of experience in their respective technical area as well as in conducting impacts analyses in accordance with CEQA ensuring the City gets technically accurate studies that meet the requirements of CEQA.

SummitWest’s project manager will ensure each technical expert has a complete project description (and updates when needed) so the project stays on schedule and within budget by minimizing updates to technical analyses.

TASK 1.F: MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAMS, CEQA FINDINGS, AND STATEMENTS OF

OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
The Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the CEQA document will be developed at the screencheck final CEQA document stage and will include specific monitoring activities, a reporting system, and criteria for evaluating the success of mitigation measures. Mitigation measures contained in the CEQA document are developed in consideration of future monitoring requirements and will be written in sufficient detail to address impacts at the project level, referencing the appropriate implementing permits, such as grading permits, final maps, and landscape plans.

The MMRP for MNDs is typically prepared after circulation of the MND/IS and is the main tool for the agency to assess and monitor the mitigation measures set forth in the MND.

SummitWest will also assist the City with preparing CEQA Findings and Statements of Overriding Considerations when needed. The Statement of Overriding Considerations is a written statement explaining the specific reasons why the social, economic, legal, technical, or other beneficial aspects of the proposed project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts and why the Lead Agency is willing to accept such impacts. This statement shall be based on the final EIR and/or other substantial evidence in the record.

TASK 1.G: PEER REVIEW OF TECHNICAL STUDIES SUBMITTED BY PROJECT APPLICANTS Our team of experienced experts is qualified to provide peer-review of technical studies in support of CEQA/NEPA analysis. The peer-review will include a review of technical adequacy, identification of potential gaps, and an assessment of compliance with CEQA and local regulations. Our peer-review will ensure documents prepared for the City address the environmental initiatives, policies, and ordinances of the City as well as other regional, state and federal requirements. Results of our peer-review will be provided in a technical memorandum summarizing the findings including guidance on how to correct any errors, recommendations to improve the analyses, and input on permitting strategy as relevant.

TASK 1.H: FACILITATION OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESSES SummitWest will support the City with any necessary public scoping sessions through noticing the public scoping session, preparation of materials, and collecting and cataloging comments. The level of community engagement depends on the project and interest or opposition by the community. Veronika Archer, SummitWest CEQA Project Manager, worked with the County of San Bernardino Department of Public Works on a county-wide project. Being the largest County in the United States, public scoping sessions were provided for each of the three distinct geographies of the County. Separate meetings for responsible and resource agencies were also held. The Final EIR was approved without any opposition from the Public.

TASK 1.I: ATTENDANCE AND PRESENTATIONS AT COMMUNITY SCOPING SESSIONS, PLANNING COMMISION, AND

CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOPS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS
SummitWest planning staff and technical experts have decades of experience presenting at community scoping sessions as well as Planning Commission and City Council workshops and public hearings. We understand the importance of providing information in a succinct manner that can be quickly and easily understood by the audience (whether public or City Council). Our staff are able to facilitate meetings for contentious projects and respond to questions and comments. www.SummitWestEnv.com
