PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #9.D
Meeting Date: January 20, 2026
TITLE:

Annual Review and Approval of Investment Policy
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the City of Pismo Beach Investment Policy.

DISCUSSION:

The purpose of this agenda item is to present the City of Pismo Beach Investment Policy for City Council review and approval. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 53646(a)(2), local agency investment policies must be reviewed and considered at a public meeting. The City’s Investment Policy was last approved on January 21, 2025.

The Administrative Services Director/City Treasurer reviewed the existing Investment Policy and has no changes to the Policy at this time. The policy complies with the California Government Code and best practices and is certified by the California Municipal Treasurers Association Investment Policy certification program.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the City of Pismo Beach Investment Policy (Attachment 1).

FISCAL IMPACT:

As the proposed Investment Policy is the same as the existing policy, approving the Investment Policy does not have a significant financial impact. The Policy promotes the City’s objectives to safeguard the principal, remain liquid, and strive for maximum investment returns. The amount invested in various investment securities is dependent on the cash flow needs of the City and the market dictates the earnings on the majority of the City’s portfolio.

City of Pismo Beach Investment Policy
1 2026 City of Pismo Beach Investment Policy January 20, 2026

1.0 Policy
The City of Pismo Beach (“City”) shall invest public funds in such a manner as to comply with state and local laws; ensure prudent money management; provide for daily cash flow requirements; and meet the objectives of the Policy, in priority order of Safety, Liquidity, and Return on investment.

California Government Code Section 53646 (a)(2) states that the City Treasurer may annually submit an investment policy to the City Council for consideration at a public meeting. This investment policy conforms to all pertinent existing laws of the State of California, including California Government Code Sections 53600 et seq.

2.0 Scope
This investment policy applies to all financial assets and investment activities of the City.

Investments for the City will be made on all funds identified in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) on a pooled basis, including the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Project Funds, Debt Service Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, Fiduciary Funds, and any funds subsequently created.

This investment policy does not apply to Bond Proceeds, Deferred Compensation Funds, Retirement or Retiree Health Care savings/trusts/plans. California Government Code Section 5922(d) authorizes proceeds of bonds to be invested in accordance with related offering documentation. These Code Sections recognize the unique needs and objectives of such proceeds. Likewise, Deferred Compensation Plans are covered under California Government Code.

3.0 Prudence
The City Treasurer is authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City investing public funds subject to the prudent investment standard. The Prudent Investor Standard (California Government Code Section 53600.3) states, that “when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated need of the [City], that a prudent person in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the [City]”. The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio.

4.1. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.

4.2. Liquidity: The City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.

4.3. Return on Investments: The City’s investment portfolio shall have the objective of attaining a comparative performance measurement or an acceptable rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles. These measurements should be commensurate with the City’s investment risk constraints identified in the Investment Policy and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio.

5.0 Delegation of Authority
California Government Code Section 53601 states that the legislative body of a local agency (i.e., the City Council) is authorized to invest surplus moneys as specified in that code section.

Subject to review, the City Council may renew the delegation of authority under this code section each year.

The Pismo Beach City Council delegates its authority to invest or reinvest City funds to the City Treasurer, who is also the Administrative Services Director. The City Treasurer will be responsible for all investment transactions and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of City officials involved in any aspect of the investment program.

6 2026 City of Pismo Beach Investment Policy January 20, 2026

Any State of California legislative action that further restricts allowable maturities, investment types or percentage allocations will be incorporated into the City’s Policy and supersedes any and all previous applicable language. If the City is holding an investment that is subsequently prohibited by a legislative change, the City may hold that investment, if it is deemed prudent by the Investment Officer, until the maturity date to avoid an unnecessary loss.

9.0 Review of Investment Portfolio
The securities held by the City must be in compliance with Section 8.0 Authorized and Suitable Investments at the time of purchase. Because some securities may not comply with Section 8.0 Authorized and Suitable Investments subsequent to the date of purchase, the Treasurer shall at least quarterly review the portfolio to identify those securities that do not comply. The Treasurer shall establish procedures to report to the City Council, major and critical incidences of noncompliance identified through the review of the portfolio.

10.0 Investment Pools/ Mutual Funds
A thorough investigation of the pool/fund is required prior to investing, and on a continual basis. There shall be a questionnaire developed which will answer the following general questions:

10.1. A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives.

10.2. A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.

10.3. A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the program audited.

10.4. A description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size deposit and withdrawal are allowed.

10.5. A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings

10.6. A description of how the pool/fund maintain reserves, retained earnings, etc. or is all income after expenses distributed to participants

10.7. A fee schedule that discloses when and how fees are assessed.

10.8. The eligibility of the pool/fund to invest in bond proceeds and a description of its practices.

11.0 Collateralization
Collateralization is required on certificates of deposits and sweep checking accounts. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level will be (110%) of market value of principal and accrued interest.

The City chooses to limit collateral to the following: certificates of deposits, sweep checking accounts, and agency issues. Collateral will always be held by an independent third party with whom the entity has a current custodial agreement. A clearly marked Council Agenda 1-20-2026 9.D-7
Attachment 1
Packet Page 31

City of Pismo Beach Investment Policy
7 2026 City of Pismo Beach Investment Policy January 20, 2026

evidence of ownership (safekeeping receipt) must be supplied to the entity and retained.

The Treasurer, at her discretion, may waive the collateral requirements for certificates of deposits up to $250,000 which are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

12.0 Safekeeping and Custody
To protect against potential fraud and embezzlement, or losses caused by a collapse of an individual securities dealer all security transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, entered into by the City will be received and delivered on a delivery versus payment (DVP) basis. Securities will be held by a third-party custodian/safekeeping account designated by the Treasurer and evidenced by safekeeping receipts. Said securities shall be held in a manner that establishes the government entity's right of ownership. The only exception to the foregoing shall be depository accounts and securities purchases made with: LAIF, time certificates of deposit and money market mutual funds held directly with issuing institution, since the purchased securities are not deliverable.

13.0 Diversification
The City recognizes that investment risks can result from issuer defaults, market price changes, or various technical complications leading to temporary illiquidity. To minimize the City’s exposure to these types of risk, the portfolio should be diversified among several types of institutions, instruments, and maturities. The Treasurer shall minimize default risk by prudently selecting only instruments and institutions, which at the time of placement have been evaluated for their financial viability and compliance with this policy.

No individual investment transaction shall be undertaken that jeopardizes the total capital position of the overall portfolio. Risk shall also be managed by subscribing to a portfolio management philosophy that helps to control market and interest rate risk by matching investments with cash flow requirements. See section 9.0 Authorized and Suitable Investments, which lists the City’s maximum percentage limits and promotes a diverse portfolio.

14.0 Maximum Maturities
To the extent possible, the City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Matching maturities with cash flow dates will reduce the need to sell securities prior to maturity, thus reducing market risk. Unless matched to a specific cash flow and approved by City Council, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than 5 years from the date of purchase. The calculation of an investment’s remaining maturity/term is to be measured from the settlement date to final maturity.

15.0 Internal Controls
The Treasurer shall establish an annual process of independent review by an external auditor. This review will provide internal control by assuring compliance with policies and procedures.

• Proper documentation obtained from confirmation and cash disbursement wire transfers is required for each investment transaction.
• Timely bank reconciliation is conducted to ensure proper handling of all transactions. • The investment portfolio and all related transactions are reviewed and balanced to appropriate general ledger accounts by the Administrative Services Department on a monthly and quarterly basis.

16.0 Performance Standards
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of obtaining a rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with investment risk constraints and cash flow needs.

The City’s basic investment strategy is to buy and hold investments until maturity However, the Treasurer may sell a security due to adverse changes in credit risk or due to unexpected cash flow needs.

The Market Yield benchmark used by the Treasurer is to determine whether market yields are being achieved and shall be the rate of return from the following indices: Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and 6-month and 1-year Treasury Bills.

17.0 Investment Reporting

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #9.F
Meeting Date: January 20, 2026

TITLE:

Update on January 9, 2023 and January 12, 2017 Emergency Proclamations

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Review the need for continuing currently active local emergency proclamations;

2. Provide direction to staff if desired.

DISCUSSION:

Chapter 2.32 of the Pismo Beach Municipal Code empowers the City Manager, acting as the Director of Emergency Services, to proclaim the existence of a local emergency when the City is affected by an emergency and the City Council is not in session. An emergency exists when conditions are beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, facilities, and existing laws of the City. The declaration is an acknowledgement of the need for additional resources and expedited procedures to deal with the emergency. The Director of Emergency Services’ declaration is subject to City Council ratification within seven days.

Currently active Emergency Declarations are those ratified by Resolution R-2023-001 on January 11, 2023, relating to winter storm damage, and by Resolution R-2017-012 on January 17, 2017, relating to winter storm damage. In accordance with Government Code Section 8630, the City Council is required to review the need for continuing the local emergency at least once every 60 days until the emergency is terminated. The following status report is provided for the Council’s information. No action is recommended, but direction may be given to staff if desired.

January 11, 2023 Proclamation: Winter Storms
The City Council declared a state of emergency on January 11, 2023, via Resolution R- 2023-0011, ratifying the Emergency Services Director’s proclamation of a local emergency in response to the January 2023 winter storms. On January 9, 2023, the County of San Luis Obispo declared an emergency which was followed by a declaration by Governor Newsom for the region. On January 14, 2023 President Biden approved a major disaster declaration for the January storms, making federal disaster aid available.

The storms, which began the first week of January, took a toll on the community, causing conditions of peril to the safety of persons and property due to flooding, bluff erosion, strong winds and other storm related damages.

Summary of Current Events
The Pier Avenue Storm Drain Outfall site has been approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for a permanent repair project to replace the outfall pipe that was washed away during the storm. The City has received $620,838.75 in funding for completion of the repair project and construction documents are being prepared. Staff

has also submitted a request for reimbursement of management costs that were incurred working on the disasters. The City is eligible to receive 5% of total obligations, approximately $35,000, which will be disbursed after the Pier Avenue project has been constructed. Construction is anticipated to take place in the Spring.

January 12, 2017 Proclamation: Winter Storms
The Pismo Beach City Council declared a state of emergency on January 12, 2017, via Resolution R-2017-0122, in response to the January 2017 winter storms. Shortly after the Council’s declaration, the County of San Luis Obispo declared an emergency which was followed by a declaration by Governor Jerry Brown for the region. On February 14, 2017 and March 16, 2017 the President declared a major disaster for the early and late January storms, making federal disaster aid available. The storms, which began the first week of January, took a toll on the community, culminating with a Caltrans storm drain failure on Highway 101, which caused flooding of two hotels on Price Street, blockage of the City’s Franklin storm drain outfall and debris scattered along Highway 101, Price Street and sidewalk, on Franklin Drive and various private parcels on January 20, 2017.

Summary of Current Events
The Cliff/Ocean Storm Drain project revised Damage Assessment Form (DAF) was approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for additional funding based on the revised engineer’s estimate. The additional funding is currently approved as “Advanced Construction” and is not yet available for reimbursement. Staff reviewed the proposals for Construction Management (CM) services and selected the most qualified consultant. Staff is seeking Council authorization to enter into an agreement with the notice to proceed dependent on execution of a construction contract under a separate report at this meeting. Staff is also working with the selected CM consultant under a separate contract to provide a constructability review of the construction plans prior to re- advertising the project for construction bids, anticipated in the Spring/Summer 2026.

As shown in Table 1, the preliminary estimate of revenues of the Parking Enterprise Fund at the end of the second quarter of FY 2026 (ending December 31, 2025) totaled $1,893,663, which is 15.0% greater parking revenues compared to the same period in FY 2025. This is largely due to full operation of the Dolliver parking lot and additional meters on Price Street.

Operating expenses at the end of this same period, which include personnel costs, operating expenses, and contract services, totaled $408,491, which is 8.1% greater than operating expenditures through the second quarter of FY 2025. The projected net operating income (revenues less operating expenses) through the second quarter of FY 2026 is $1,485,173. After accounting for one-time expenditures of $34,772, the projected ending balance of the Parking Enterprise Fund at the end of the second quarter is $3,800,288.

In addition to the ongoing expenses, there are one-time budgeted costs of $653,325 for one-time projects. These projects include $300,000 for the Public Safety Facility project to support the parking functions and related public safety support of parking functions; $150,000 for converting 320 and 330 Main Street lots to parking lots, $130,000 for lighting for the Price and Dolliver Street parking lots; $55,817 for the Addie Street Parking and Access Improvements project; $11,965 for additional parking meters; $4,000 for a radio system upgrade and reliability project; and $1,543 for other projects. After considering these one-time costs of $653,325 and assuming the remaining budget of $618,552 is either spent or carried forward to next fiscal year, the projected available fund balance is $3,181,736.

Parking Initiatives
The City is currently in discussions with IPS to formalize a contract for parking enforcement–related services. Staff is working toward finalizing and implementing this agreement by mid-2026. As part of these discussions, the City is evaluating the transition to IPS handling all parking enforcement payments. Utilizing the IPS enforcement platform would integrate with the City’s existing IPS and Vigilant license plate recognition technology, allowing for seamless management of citations, adjudication, permitting, and reporting while ensuring compliance with California requirements. Officers are already familiar with the IPS system, which supports efficient field operations through handheld tools and reduces administrative workload. Staff believes this integration would also enhance the customer experience by providing more consistent and streamlined parking services.

Staff continues to work on improvements to the Paid Parking Program with a focus on enhancing customer service and usability, particularly along Price Street. The City has ordered centralized paid parking kiosks and will be coordinating with IPS to establish a delivery schedule. Parking staff will be working closely with Public Works to determine the most appropriate kiosk locations to ensure safety, accessibility, visibility, with minimal impact to our street and sidewalks, with the goal of completing the project prior to the summer season. These upgrades are intended to improve the overall customer Council Agenda 1-20-2026 9.G-2

On October 2, 2025, staff issued a formal Request for Proposals for engineering design services to design and develop construction drawings and specifications for the project and provide support during the bidding process. The scope of work includes, survey, geotechnical report, stormwater analysis, utility coordination, and environmental support services, including an archaeological survey. On October 30, 2025, six proposals were received and evaluated by a review panel. Garing, Taylor & Associates, Inc. (GTA) was determined to be the most qualified and has been selected to perform the work.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement (Attachment 2) with GTA in an amount not to exceed $143,624 for design services for the Cliff Avenue Parking Project.

VENDOR AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
This Vendor Agreement for Professional Services (“AGREEMENT”) is made and entered into as of the date the AGREEMENT is fully executed by all parties (the “Effective Date”), by and between the City of Pismo Beach, a municipal corporation (“CITY”), and Garing, Taylor & Associates, Inc. (“VENDOR”). In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

RECITALS:

Design of the Cliff Avenue Parking Project
VENDOR represents and warrants that it is qualified to perform those services.

AGREEMENT:

I. SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED BY VENDOR
VENDOR will provide the services listed in the Scope of Services attached hereto as Exhibit A.

VENDOR warrants that all work and services set forth in the Scope of Services will be performed in a competent, professional and satisfactory manner. Extra work beyond that described in the Scope of Services is not authorized without the express written approval of CITY. VENDOR shall request and receive written approval prior to performing any extra work. Any work beyond that reflected in the approved Scope of Services shall not be compensated by CITY unless prior written approval was provided under this paragraph. To the extent that Exhibit A is a proposal from VENDOR, such proposal is incorporated only for the description of the Scope of Services and no other terms and conditions from any such proposal shall apply to this AGREEMENT unless specifically agreed to by CITY in writing.

II. TERM
Unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section IV below, or unless the Scope of Services are substantially completed, the AGREEMENT will continue in full force and effect from the Effective Date through December 31, 2026. Upon mutual written agreement, the term of this AGREEMENT can be extended annually under the same terms for an additional one (1) year period, or longer as the parties agree in writing.

III. COMPENSATION
A.VENDOR’s Fee
For services rendered pursuant to this AGREEMENT, VENDOR will be paid in accordance with the Compensation Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B. However, in no event will the total amount of money paid VENDOR, for services initially contemplated by this AGREEMENT and associated expenses, exceed the sum of one hundred forty-three thousand six hundred twenty-four dollars ($143,624), unless otherwise first approved in writing by CITY.

Should this AGREEMENT be extended pursuant to Section II, VENDOR’s fee may be 2 of 12
Vendor Agreement (Rev. 3/2024)
adjusted upon the written agreement of the parties, in the form of an amendment to this AGREEMENT.

B. Schedule of Payment
VENDOR will submit invoices monthly for actual services performed and associated expenses.

Invoices shall be submitted on or about the first business day of each month, or as soon thereafter as practical, for services provided in the previous month. Payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of each invoice as to all non-disputed fees. If CITY disputes any of VENDOR’s fees it shall give written notice to VENDOR within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice of any disputed fees set forth on the invoice. Any final payment under this AGREEMENT shall be made within forty-five (45) days of receipt of an invoice therefor.

IV. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
A. CITY may at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, suspend or terminate this AGREEMENT, or any portion hereof, by serving upon VENDOR at least ten (10) days' prior written notice. Upon receipt of said notice, VENDOR shall immediately cease all work under this AGREEMENT, unless the notice provides otherwise. If CITY suspends or terminates a portion of this AGREEMENT, such suspension or termination shall not make void or invalidate the remainder of this AGREEMENT.

B. In the event this AGREEMENT is terminated pursuant to this Section, CITY shall pay to VENDOR the actual value of the work performed up to the time of termination, provided that the work performed is of value to CITY. Upon termination of the AGREEMENT pursuant to this Section, VENDOR will submit an invoice to CITY pursuant to Section III.

V. FORCE MAJEURE
If any party fails to perform its obligations because of strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, embargoes, "acts of God," inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes for labor or materials, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental control, judicial orders, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, then that party’s performance shall be excused for a period equal to the period of such cause for failure to perform.

VI. RETENTION OF FUNDS
VENDOR authorizes CITY to deduct from any amount payable to VENDOR (whether or not arising out of this AGREEMENT) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute or that are necessary to compensate CITY for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by CITY, and all amounts for which CITY may be liable to third parties, by reason of VENDOR’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform VENDOR’s obligations under this AGREEMENT. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by VENDOR, or any indebtedness exists that appears to be the basis for a claim of lien, CITY may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of the withholding, an amount sufficient to cover the claim. The failure of CITY to exercise the right to deduct or to withhold will not, however, affect the obligations of VENDOR to insure, indemnify, and protect CITY as elsewhere provided in this AGREEMENT.

XIII. INDEMNIFICATION

A. Non-design, non-construction Professional Services:

To the fullest extent permitted by law (including, but not limited to California Civil Code Sections 2782 and 2782.8), VENDOR shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CITY, and its elected officials, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents (“CITY Indemnitees”), from and against any and all causes of action, claims, liabilities, obligations, judgments, or damages, including reasonable legal counsels’ fees and costs of litigation (“claims”), arising out of VENDOR’s performance or VENDOR’s failure to perform its obligations under this AGREEMENT or out of the operations conducted by VENDOR, including CITY’s active or passive negligence, except for such loss or damage arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. In the event CITY Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from VENDOR’s performance of this AGREEMENT, VENDOR shall provide a defense to CITY Indemnitees or at CITY’s option, reimburse CITY Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in defense of such claims.

B. Non-design, construction Professional Services:

To the extent the Scope of Services involve a “construction contract” as that phrase is used in Civil Code Section 2783, this paragraph shall apply in place of paragraph A.

Vendor Agreement (Rev. 3/2024)
C. Design Professional Services:

In the event VENDOR is a "design professional," and the Scope of Services require VENDOR to provide “design professional services” as those phrases are used in Civil Code Section 2782.8, this paragraph shall apply in place of paragraphs A or B. To the fullest extent permitted by law (including, but not limited to California Civil Code Sections 2782 and 2782.8) VENDOR shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CITY and its elected officials, officers, employees, volunteers and agents (“City Indemnitees”), from and against all claims, damages, injuries, losses, and expenses including costs, attorney fees, expert consultant and expert witness fees arising out of, pertaining to or relating to, the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of VENDOR, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. Negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of any subcontractor employed by VENDOR shall be conclusively deemed to be the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of VENDOR unless adequately corrected by VENDOR. In the event CITY Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from VENDOR’s performance of this AGREEMENT, VENDOR shall provide a defense to CITY Indemnitees or at CITY’s option, reimburse CITY Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in defense of such claims. In no event shall the cost to defend charged to VENDOR under this paragraph exceed VENDOR’s proportionate percentage of fault. However, notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event one or more defendants is unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the business, VENDOR shall meet and confer with other parties regarding unpaid defense costs.

D. Payment by CITY is not a condition precedent to enforcement of the indemnities in paragraph A, B, or C. In the event of any dispute between VENDOR and CITY, as to whether liability arises from the active negligence, sole negligence or willful misconduct of CITY or its officers, employees, or agents, VENDOR will be obligated to pay for CITY’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating CITY as having been actively negligent, solely negligent or as having engaged in willful misconduct. Except as otherwise required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, VENDOR will not be entitled in the absence of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees and costs of litigation. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive completion of VENDOR’s services or the termination of this AGREEMENT.

XIV. NON-LIABILITY OF CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES

No elected official, officer, employee, or agent of CITY will be personally liable to VENDOR, in the event of any default or breach by CITY or for any amount that may become due to VENDOR.

XV. INSURANCE

A. Without limiting VENDOR’s indemnification of CITY, and prior to commencement of the Scope of Services, VENDOR shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term of this AGREEMENT, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form that is satisfactory to CITY.

1. General liability insurance. VENDOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (ISO) form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.

6 of 12
Vendor Agreement (Rev. 3/2024)

2. Automobile liability insurance. If VENDOR owns vehicles used in performing the Scope of Services in any manner, VENDOR shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (ISO) form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of VENDOR arising out of or in connection with any work to be performed under this AGREEMENT, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.

3. Workers’ compensation insurance. VENDOR shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000), as required by law.

4. VENDOR shall submit to CITY, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers.

5. Errors and Omissions/Professional Liability. VENDOR shall maintain a policy of professional liability insurance written on a claims-made basis in an amount not less than $1,000,000. VENDOR shall also procure and pay for appropriate tail coverage for a minimum of three years following completion of the Scope of Services to cover any errors or omissions occurring during the Term. In the alternative, VENDOR may elect to obtain equivalent coverage on an occurrence basis. CITY’s Risk Manager or City Attorney may waive the requirement of professional liability insurance if he/she determines that such a policy is not commercially available to VENDOR. If such a policy is commercially available, additional cost to VENDOR in obtaining such a policy shall not be a basis upon which the insurance requirement will be waived.

B. Other provisions or requirements:

1. Proof of insurance. VENDOR shall provide certificates of insurance to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by CITY’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance.

Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this contract. CITY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements to such policies, at any time.

2. Duration of coverage. VENDOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the AGREEMENT insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by VENDOR, its agents, representatives, employees, or subconsultants.

3. Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by VENDOR shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by CITY shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before CITY’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

4. CITY’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this AGREEMENT does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by VENDOR or Attachment 2
Council Agenda 1-20-2026 9.H-7
Packet Page 57

7 of 12
Vendor Agreement (Rev. 3/2024)
CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from VENDOR payments. In the alternative, CITY may terminate this AGREEMENT as provided in paragraph IV.

5. Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by CITY’s Risk Manager.

6. Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officials, agents, officers, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow VENDOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. VENDOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

7. Enforcement of contract provisions (non-estoppel). VENDOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of CITY to inform VENDOR of non- compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

8. Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.

Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If VENDOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by VENDOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to CITY.

9. Notice of cancellation. VENDOR agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. In the event VENDOR’s policy of insurance cannot be endorsed to provide this notice of cancellation, VENDOR shall provide CITY notice of such cancellation, in writing, not later than 24 hours following the effective time of such cancellation.

10. Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies. Each such insurance policy shall contain language substantially similar to the following clause:
"The City of Pismo Beach, its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, and agents are named as additional insureds as respects operations of the named insured performed under contract with the City of Pismo Beach." CITY need not be named as an additional insured on professional liability insurance policies.

11. Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement

December 19, 2025 GTA Proposal No. P25-157
Mr. Daniel Contreras
City of Pismo Beach
760 Mattie Road
Pismo Beach, CA 93449
Subject: Fee Proposal for Cliff Avenue Parking Project
Dear Mr. Contreras,
Garing, Taylor & Associates, Inc. (GTA) is pleased to present this Cost Proposal for professional design services for the Cliff Avenue Parking Project, submitted on a time-and-materials, not-to-exceed basis. This proposal is provided in association with the qualifications and scope of work statement previously submitted under separate cover.

All work will be performed by licensed professionals, with survey crew time billed at prevailing wage rates.

GTA understands that the fees outlined herein are intended to represent a comprehensive, not-to-exceed budget for the work as defined in the City’s Request for Proposals and our corresponding scope of services.

Fees will not be exceeded unless extraordinary, unforeseen circumstances arise that substantially alter the project scope or schedule.

We further understand that the City is not requesting construction administration services at this time.

The City may request a separate proposal for construction administration during the run-up to bid award, at which time GTA will prepare an amendment to this contract.

Finally, please note that subconsultant fees are passed through at cost, with no markup or administrative surcharge. We believe this approach reflects our commitment to fairness and transparency in supporting the City’s project objectives.

Project Understanding
The Cliff Avenue Parking Project is a vital component of the City’s ongoing efforts to enhance coastal access, improve parking efficiency, and upgrade stormwater and ADA infrastructure along the bluff side corridor. The project area presents several unique design challenges, including steep bluff grades, aging adjacent utilities, drainage toward sensitive coastal resources, and the need to maintain access for nearby residents and park users. GTA’s experience with similar Pismo Beach blufftop projects—such as Silver Shoals, Sunset Beach Estates, and Pismo Gateway—provides our team with the technical and contextual insight to address these challenges efficiently and in a manner consistent with the City’s coastal character and environmental priorities.

This project anticipates removal and replacement of approximately 18,000 square feet of rock or decomposed granite surface with new decorative or stamped asphalt or concrete parking and drive aisle surfacing, plus approximately 4,500 square feet of new or replaced sidewalk. The adjacent Ocean Boulevard Project is currently removing and replacing the full roadway width up to the project limits.

GTA’s design assumes removal and replacement to the centerline of Cliff Avenue (approximately 10,000 additional square feet) to ensure proper grading and drainage tie-ins. We do not recommend full re-

pavement of Cliff Avenue at this time due to the lack of curb and gutter along the opposite side and potential right-of-way encroachments that would require resolution. Instead, GTA may recommend a slurry seal to provide a uniform surface appearance across the full street width at project completion.

In total, the proposed design will result in approximately 22,500 square feet of new impervious area and 10,000 square feet of removed and replaced impervious surface. While this could typically trigger Tier 3 and/or Tier 4 Post-Construction Requirements (PCRs) under the RWQCB’s requirements for MS4s, GTA understands that infiltration and retention are not desirable for bluff-top sites. Our approach will therefore focus on compliance with Tiers 1 and 2, emphasizing treatment and flow-through management rather than infiltration. One strategy under consideration involves directing the majority of new impervious area runoff into a bio-swale or vegetated filter strip located on the park-side of the parking or sidewalk (if included), prior to diversion back to the street and into the primary storm drain inlet and hydrodynamic separator/trash capture device. This approach aligns with the City’s established stormwater management strategy for coastal bluff projects, providing effective treatment while minimizing bluff stability concerns.

With this understanding, GTA and our project team are pleased to offer the City of Pismo Beach the following services:

Task 1 – Project Initiation and Coordination
GTA will begin with a comprehensive kickoff meeting involving City staff and all subconsultants. The objective is to confirm project goals, design parameters, schedule expectations, and coordination procedures. GTA will review all available background data, existing utility records, and prior design documents to ensure alignment across all disciplines. A coordination matrix and communication plan will be developed to maintain efficiency and accountability throughout the project.

Deliverables:
x Kickoff meeting and coordination notes
x Project schedule and communication matrix
x Coordination framework among City and consultant team

Estimated Hours:
x Ron Reilly: 16 hrs
x Perry McBeth: 20 hrs
x Bill Rebik: 4 hrs
x Survey Crew: 0 hrs
x Support Staff: 0 hrs
x Subconsultants:
o Scott Wright: 5 hrs
o Oasis Support Staff 1 hrs

Estimated Fee:
x GTA: $6,800.00
x Subconsultants: $952.50
Total Task Fee: $7,752.50

Task 2 – Surveying and Base Mapping
Under this task, GTA’s survey division will perform a detailed topographic survey and base mapping of the project site and surrounding rights-of-way, including utilities, drainage structures, and bluff edge Attachment 2

conditions. The survey will be tied to City control and benchmarks and serve as the base for all subsequent design.

Although the property is City-owned, GTA is aware of several apparent private encroachments into the City right-of-way along the westerly side of Cliff Avenue. These encroachments constrain the functionality of the existing parking area, reduce effective travel widths, and limit available backing distance for vehicles exiting parking stalls. To better understand these conditions, GTA will perform map and record research prior to mobilizing for field work. During the topographic survey, our survey crew will attempt to locate existing monuments and other boundary evidence to preliminarily assess the extent and severity of these encroachments. GTA will prepare one or more exhibits depicting these observed conditions for City review.

This preliminary boundary evaluation is included in the estimated fee below. However, if sufficient monumentation cannot be located, if recovered monumentation conflicts with record data, or if resolution calculations indicate inconsistencies, additional boundary services—such as preparation of a Corner Record or Record of Survey—may be required. Other unforeseen conditions may also necessitate additional confirmation of property limits, utility easements, or access rights involving adjacent properties or third-party utilities. Add-alternates for expanded boundary services are included on Page 8 of this proposal.

Survey crews will perform field verification and data collection in compliance with prevailing wage requirements. The topographic survey will be drone-assisted to minimize field time and enhance accuracy.

GTA will also produce a rectified orthophoto for inclusion beneath the design linework to provide added context and clarity for reviewers and stakeholders.

Significant underground utilities are known to exist in the vicinity of the primary storm drain and catch basin. To accurately define the vertical and horizontal position of these facilities and support design of proposed storm drain improvements, limited utility potholing is anticipated. GTA has included up to five (5) utility potholing mobilizations under this task. The City will retain its preferred utility-location contractor to perform potholing activities, and GTA will coordinate field access and mobilize as needed to survey exposed utilities for incorporation into the topographic base mapping.

The geotechnical subconsultant, GeoSolutions, will initiate their services during the survey phase to perform site reconnaissance, subsurface exploration, and soil sampling as needed for laboratory testing.

Their field work will be completed during this task and will support development of a geotechnical summary memorandum suitable for use in preliminary grading, pavement, and drainage design. The work will be performed in accordance with the California Building Code and industry-standard practices, and will provide early insight into subsurface conditions relevant to feasibility, layout refinement, and alternatives evaluation.

Infiltration testing is included as an add-alternate, recognizing that infiltration or underground stormwater retention is generally discouraged in bluff-top environments and is not anticipated to be a preferred strategy for this site. GTA’s design approach anticipates treatment and controlled discharge of stormwater prior to ocean outfall, consistent with the City’s established practices on similar bluff-area projects.

However, acknowledging that MS4 policies and regulatory requirements may evolve during the course of the project, the infiltration testing add-alternate has been included as a contingency at the end of this fee proposal.

Our archaeological subconsultant, Central Coast Archaeological Research Consultants (CCARC), will provide an archaeological sensitivity evaluation and Phase I survey, including initial Chumash consultation and preparation of a study report.

Task 3 – Preliminary Design and Alternatives Analysis
GTA will develop up to three concept-level parking layouts, grading schemes, and stormwater management alternatives to evaluate constructability, drainage performance, and accessibility. Each layout will consider ADA compliance, bluff stability, landscape integration, cost-effectiveness and preliminary geotechnical constraints identified during subsurface investigation.

Oasis Landscape Architecture will assist with concept-level landscape and irrigation design, planting palette, and renderings to support City decision-making. In parallel, GeoSolutions will complete laboratory testing, engineering analysis, and preparation of the Geotechnical Investigation Report, providing design parameters to inform preliminary grading, pavement and drainage concepts. GTA will prepare preliminary cost estimates for each concept and facilitate a design review meeting with City staff to determine a preferred alternative.

Time has been included for one “tailgate” style neighborhood workshop, should that seem a desirable approach.

Findings developed under this task will support preparation of the Parking Layout and Operations Technical Memorandum presented in Task 4.

Task 4 – Parking Layout and Operations Technical Memorandum Following completion of the preliminary layouts and alternatives analysis, GTA will prepare a Parking Layout and Operations Technical Memorandum to establish the basis of design for final engineering. This memorandum will document existing site constraints, confirm design criteria, summarize operational considerations, and provide a clear recommendation for the preferred parking configuration.

The memorandum will synthesize findings from the topographic survey, geotechnical reconnaissance, stormwater concepts, ADA analysis, and landscape considerations developed during the preliminary design phase. It will include an exhibit depicting apparent private encroachments into the City right-of- way along the westerly side of Cliff Avenue, and will evaluate how these constraints influence parking geometry, circulation, backing distances, and operational safety. The document will also evaluate pedestrian and vehicular circulation, access and egress, sight distance limitations, stall counts, ADA stall placement, and operational characteristics for up to two refined layout alternatives.

A recommended layout will be identified in coordination with City staff based on constructability, compliance with City standards, safety, accessibility, stormwater considerations, neighborhood compatibility, and cost effectiveness. Schematic exhibits of the alternatives will be included as appendices to support review and decision-making.

Deliverables:
x Technical Memorandum summarizing findings, assumptions, design criteria, and recommended parking configuration

PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #9.I
Meeting Date: January 20, 2026
TITLE:

Grant Agreement with the Ocean Protection Council for Funding to Assist with the Safety Element and Parks and Recreation Element Update and Award of Agreements to GHD, Inc. and Lisa Wise Consulting Inc. for Related Services; Related Budget Adjustments
RECOMMENDATION:

1.Adopt a Resolution approving the application for and/or execution of grant funds from the Ocean Protection Council under the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality And Supply, Flood Control, River And Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006 (Proposition 84), Prop 68, Environmental License Plate Funds, Once-Through Cooling, Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, or General Funds;

2.Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to:

1.Execute an Agreement with GHD, Inc. in the amount of $705,365 for Fiscal Years 2026 and 2027 for preparation of a Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Study; and

2.Execute an Agreement with Lisa Wise Consulting, Inc. in the amount of $275,196 for Fiscal Years 2026 and 2027 for preparation of a Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment, Adaptation Study, Economic Analysis and General Plan Local Coastal Plan and Zoning Code update; and
Appropriating related budget adjustments in Fiscal Year 2026.

DISCUSSION:

City staff successfully applied for a $750,000 grant from the California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) to develop a Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan (SLRAP) and Vulnerability Assessment (VA) as required by state law in support of the General Plan Safety Element update. OPC requires adoption of a resolution (Attachment 1) allowing the City to accept the funds and execute a grant agreement to proceed with the project.

The City previously received grant funding from the California Coastal Commission (CCC) in the amount of $900,000, also in support of updating the City’s Safety Element, which when combined with the OPC funding brings total grant funding for the project to $1,650,000. To carry out the work associated with the Safety Element update, consistent with both the CCC and OPC grants, the City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) on September 12, 2025, which subsequently closed on September 26, 2025. The City received two proposals, one from GHD Inc. for SLRAP and VA services in the amount of $705,365 and a second proposal for from Lisa Wise Consulting for update of the General Plan/Local Coastal Plan, Zoning Code and Economic Analysis in the amount of $275,196.

Council Agenda 1-20-2026 9.I-1
Packet Page 68

BACKGROUND
The City started work on General Plan/Local Coastal Land Use Plan/Zoning Code update in 2017. The General Plan component went before the Planning Commission (PC) in August of 2023 and received a recommendation for approval to the City Council.

Subsequent to the August 2023 PC meeting the City received significant public concern related to bluff protection/hazard policies found in the draft Safety Element. In March and April of 2024, staff met with CCC staff twice to develop an approach to move the GP/LCP update forward while also removing the Safety Element, allowing the City to revisit and revise the draft Hazard policies that are of concern to Pismo Beach residents and business owners. The concept discussed with CCC staff for revision of the Hazard policies included a more comprehensive neighborhood specific approach to dealing with climate change, sea level rise, habitat and resource protection, and bluff erosion. In addition, CCC staff encouraged the City to apply for additional state LCP grant funding to assist with preparation of the environmental studies and subsequent development of new neighborhood-based policies to further the LCP Update. CCC staff recommended the City consider extracting the draft Safety Element from the update and moving the update forward subject to the original Safety Element. City Staff brought the concept forward to City Council on May 21, 2024, where Council authorized staff to proceed as proposed.

The Planning Commission is currently reviewing the draft GP/LCP (with draft Safety Element extracted) and it is anticipated that it will complete its review in February of 2026, followed by City Council review. Lisa Wise Consulting is currently revising the draft zoning code to address legislative updates, extraction of the draft Safety Element, and comments from City staff and CCC staff. It is anticipated that the PC will start reviewing the draft zoning code in spring/early summer of , followed by City Council in late summer/early fall of 2026.

Alternatives
If the City Council does not adopt the resolution provided as Attachment 1 authorizing the City to enter into the grant agreement with OPC, and accepting $750,000 in funding, the Council should also decline to approve the consultant contracts with GHD and Lisa Wise Consulting, as there would be insufficient grant funding to support the services outlined in those contracts.

Conclusion and Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the City to enter into a grant agreement with OPC for $750,000 to support update of the City’s Safety Element. Staff also recommends the Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 2) authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements for consultant services with GHD, Inc. and Lisa Wise Consulting, Inc. to assist in preparing the Safety Element update, including appropriating related budget adjustments in Fiscal Year 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of adopting both Resolutions adds $750,000 in state government grant revenues and $980,552 in additional expenditures to the professional services expenditure account, in the General Fund, Community Development Department, Council Agenda 1-20-2026 9.I-2

IV. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
A. CITY may at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, suspend or terminate this AGREEMENT, or any portion hereof, by serving upon VENDOR at least ten (10) days' prior written notice. Upon receipt of said notice, VENDOR shall immediately cease all work under this AGREEMENT, unless the notice provides otherwise.

In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by VENDOR, or any indebtedness exists that appears to be the basis for a claim of lien, CITY may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of the withholding, an amount sufficient to cover the claim.

In the event VENDOR is a "design professional," and the Scope of Services require VENDOR to provide “design professional services” as those phrases are used in Civil Code Section 2782.8, this paragraph shall apply in place of paragraphs A or B. To the fullest extent permitted by law (including, but not limited to California Civil Code Sections 2782 and 2782.8) VENDOR shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CITY and its elected officials, officers, Attachment 3

Vendor Agreement (Rev. 3/2024)
employees, volunteers and agents (“City Indemnitees”), from and against all claims, damages, injuries, losses, and expenses including costs, attorney fees, expert consultant and expert witness fees arising out of, pertaining to or relating to, the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of VENDOR, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. Negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of any subcontractor employed by VENDOR shall be conclusively deemed to be the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of VENDOR unless adequately corrected by VENDOR. In the event CITY Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from VENDOR’s performance of this AGREEMENT, VENDOR shall provide a defense to CITY Indemnitees or at CITY’s option, reimburse CITY Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in defense of such claims. In no event shall the cost to defend charged to VENDOR under this paragraph exceed VENDOR’s proportionate percentage of fault. However, notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event one or more defendants is unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the business, VENDOR shall meet and confer with other parties regarding unpaid defense costs.

D. Payment by CITY is not a condition precedent to enforcement of the indemnities in paragraph A, B, or C. In the event of any dispute between VENDOR and CITY, as to whether liability arises from the active negligence, sole negligence or willful misconduct of CITY or its officers, employees, or agents, VENDOR will be obligated to pay for CITY’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating CITY as having been actively negligent, solely negligent or as having engaged in willful misconduct. Except as otherwise required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, VENDOR will not be entitled in the absence of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees and costs of litigation. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive completion of VENDOR’s services or the termination of this AGREEMENT.

XIV. NON-LIABILITY OF CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
No elected official, officer, employee, or agent of CITY will be personally liable to VENDOR, in the event of any default or breach by CITY or for any amount that may become due to VENDOR.

XV. INSURANCE
A. Without limiting VENDOR’s indemnification of CITY, and prior to commencement of the Scope of Services, VENDOR shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term of this AGREEMENT, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form that is satisfactory to CITY.

1. General liability insurance. VENDOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (ISO) form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.

2. Automobile liability insurance. If VENDOR owns vehicles used in performing the Scope of Services in any manner, VENDOR shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (ISO) form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of VENDOR arising out of or in connection with any work to be performed under this AGREEMENT, including coverage for any owned, 6 of 12
Vendor Agreement (Rev. 3/2024)
hired, non-owned or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.

3. Workers’ compensation insurance. VENDOR shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000), as required by law.

4. VENDOR shall submit to CITY, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers.

5. Errors and Omissions/Professional Liability. VENDOR shall maintain a policy of professional liability insurance written on a claims-made basis in an amount not less than $1,000,000. VENDOR shall also procure and pay for appropriate tail coverage for a minimum of three years following completion of the Scope of Services to cover any errors or omissions occurring during the Term. In the alternative, VENDOR may elect to obtain equivalent coverage on an occurrence basis. CITY’s Risk Manager or City Attorney may waive the requirement of professional liability insurance if he/she determines that such a policy is not commercially available to VENDOR. If such a policy is commercially available, additional cost to VENDOR in obtaining such a policy shall not be a basis upon which the insurance requirement will be waived.

B. Other provisions or requirements:

1. Proof of insurance. VENDOR shall provide certificates of insurance to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by CITY’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance.

Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this contract. CITY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements to such policies, at any time.

2. Duration of coverage. VENDOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the AGREEMENT insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by VENDOR, its agents, representatives, employees, or subconsultants.

3. Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by VENDOR shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by CITY shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before CITY’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

4. CITY’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this AGREEMENT does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by VENDOR or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from VENDOR payments. In the alternative, CITY may terminate this AGREEMENT as provided in paragraph IV.

5. Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an Attachment 3

assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by CITY’s Risk Manager.

6. Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officials, agents, officers, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow VENDOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. VENDOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

7. Enforcement of contract provisions (non-estoppel). VENDOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of CITY to inform VENDOR of non- compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

8. Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.

Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If VENDOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by VENDOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to CITY.

9. Notice of cancellation. VENDOR agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. In the event VENDOR’s policy of insurance cannot be endorsed to provide this notice of cancellation, VENDOR shall provide CITY notice of such cancellation, in writing, not later than 24 hours following the effective time of such cancellation.

10. Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies. Each such insurance policy shall contain language substantially similar to the following clause:
"The City of Pismo Beach, its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, and agents are named as additional insureds as respects operations of the named insured performed under contract with the City of Pismo Beach." CITY need not be named as an additional insured on professional liability insurance policies.

11. Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing by CITY’s Risk Manager or City Attorney.

8 of 12
Vendor Agreement (Rev. 3/2024)

12. Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that VENDOR’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

13. Pass-through clause. VENDOR agrees to ensure that its sub-consultants, sub- contractors, and any other party providing any work under the Scope of Services under the direction of VENDOR, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of VENDOR. VENDOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. VENDOR agrees that upon request, all AGREEMENTS with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in performing work under the Scope of Services will be submitted to CITY for review.

14. CITY’s right to revise specifications. CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving VENDOR ninety (90) days' advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to VENDOR, CITY and VENDOR may renegotiate VENDOR’s compensation.

15. Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. CITY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by CITY.

16. Timely notice of claims. VENDOR shall give CITY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from VENDOR’s performance under this AGREEMENT, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

17. Additional insurance. VENDOR shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Scope of Services.

XVI. SUBCONTRACTORS

Before VENDOR retains or hires a subcontractor to provide any work, labor, or services relative to this AGREEMENT, VENDOR must:

A. Present the name and identifying information of the subcontractor that will provide any work, labor, or services to CITY;

B. Present to CITY the form of subcontract that will be used with the subcontractor for CITY’s approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

RE: Proposal for Professional Consultant Services for Preparation of Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Study to Support Neighborhood Based Planning Dear Members of the Selection Committee,
GHD is pleased to submit our proposal for the City of Pismo Beach (City) RFP for Professional Consultant Services.

Our multidisciplinary team is well-equipped to conduct a comprehensive update to the City’s Sea Level Rise (SLR) Vulnerability Assessment and design adaptation strategies that are actionable and address the challenges posed by rising sea levels at the neighborhood scale.

With a global presence and deep roots in California’s coastal resilience initiatives, GHD has played a pivotal role in advancing sea level rise adaptation throughout California. Our coastal scientists and engineers have successfully delivered projects from Southern to Northern California, implementing near-term adaptation strategies that transition planning efforts into tangible, community-benefiting solutions.

Delivering Adaptation through Implementation
Pismo Beach needs solutions that go beyond planning to achieve real, on-the-ground results. Our team specializes in developing feasible, economical adaptation strategies that align community needs with available grant funding opportunities. The Bayshore Bikeway project in Imperial Beach serves as a prime example of our ability to transform vulnerable coastal pathways into resilient infrastructure that enhances public access, ecosystem health, and long-term flood protection.

Local Knowledge, Lasting Solutions
Our team members bring local knowledge from project experience and living, working, and playing in Pismo Beach.

Project Director Aaron Holloway’s involvement in the 2019 Pismo Beach Sea Level Rise Assessment and the 2020 Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan enables our team to maximize our familiarity with the region’s coastal dynamics, infrastructure vulnerabilities and community values. The team also includes civil engineers based out of our San Luis Obispo office who have familiarity with the local interests and priorities that will help shape community-driven adaptation concepts.

A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Adaptation
–We recognize that successful adaptation requires the integration of engineering, environmental science, economics, planning and community engagement. Our team offers proven expertise in evaluating sea level rise vulnerabilities and designing adaptation strategies. We propose to pair these strengths with consultants who specialize in community planning, economic analysis, and public engagement to deliver integrated, effective, and actionable adaptation solutions. Our team includes:
–Coastal engineers and scientists adept at analyzing Pismo Beach’s wave climates, littoral sediment transport, and flood risks.
–Scripps Institution of Oceanography researcher, Dr. Adam Young, with expertise in coastal bluff dynamics and vulnerabilities.
–Project Manager and coastal scientist Laura Engeman with experience co-authoring California’s 2024 Sea Level Rise Report and supporting local communities with hazard assessments. –Project engineers with experience working and living in Pismo Beach that can help to shape adaptation strategies. 320 Goddard Way, Suite 200
Irvine, CA 92618
T: 949.648.5200

GHD has successfully executed numerous contracts with the City over the years and is confident that, if selected, we will be able to reach mutually agreeable terms. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss a few of the clauses in the sample agreement related to Indemnity and Standard of Care to ensure we are in compliance with the requirements of the contract.

The approach and budget outlined in this proposal are based on our understanding of the RFP tasks and the City’s project objectives. We recognize that the project is being advanced with support from grant funding, and we are committed to working collaboratively with the City to refine the scope and associated budgets as needed to ensure alignment with available resources and funding requirements. Please feel free to contact us at your convenience to discuss our proposal further.

protection strategies, and long-term planning for sea level rise impacts.

We also bring familiarity with Pismo Beach’s coastal
conditions, regulatory framework, and infrastructure
vulnerabilities, gained through our team member’s
involvement in the 2019 Pismo Beach Sea Level Rise
Vulnerability Assessment and the 2020 Sea Level Rise
Adaptation Plan which informed the preparation of a Draft Safety Element (2023) and Draft Zoning Code/Coastal
Implementation Plan (2022).

By integrating new SLR guidance with our localized
expertise, we ensure the development of pragmatic,
actionable, and scientifically grounded adaptation
strategies that address the City’s long-term resilience needs. Our collaborative approach—engaging
environmental specialists, engineers, architects, and
economists—ensures that design criteria and project
goals align from inception to implementation. Through
this expertise, we will provide the City of Pismo Beach with robust, forward-looking solutions to prepare for the challenges of rising sea levels.

| 3GHD | Preparation of Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Study | City of Pismo Beach Project Description
As a low-lying coastal community that is bounded
by water on three sides, the City of Imperial Beach is
vulnerable to natural hazards such as coastal flooding that can disrupt the resident’s daily lives and local business operations. Flooding may also reduce City services and
impact critical infrastructure. GHD partnered with the City to help develop a Community Resiliency Plan—a holistic
framework of strategies to address flooding impacts,
encourage nature-based solutions, and adequately
address the needs of residents who currently experience flooding or are projected to be substantially impacted by future coastal flooding.

GHD built upon past vulnerability assessment work to
develop specific projects and management activities to
enhance the City’s ability to withstand and recover from coastal flooding and erosion.

The goal of the Community Resilience Plan (CRP)
was to identify, through community engagement and
technical analyses, sea level rise adaptation solutions that provide multiple benefits, including environment
conservation, preservation of public access, economic
sustainability, and the protection of the City’s vulnerable disadvantaged communities. This plan ( https://www .
ibcommunityresilience.com) presents the results of
a year-long process to explore the opportunities
and constraints to planning and development of
coastal flooding adaptation strategies. This document
summarizes community engagement and the sea level
rise science that informed the development of specific
coastal flooding adaptation strategies. A monitoring and implementation plan was also developed that provides
a blueprint for the appropriate manner to measure and
respond to projected sea level rise. Combined, these
documents empower the City to prioritize actions and
build resilience in their community thoughtfully and
responsibly.

Project Description
The 2,600-foot-long Beach Boulevard seawall is located
on the rugged Pacific Coast, approximately 10 miles south of San Francisco, in an area renowned for coastal erosion.

Beach Boulevard is a key transportation and utility
corridor providing water, wastewater, gas, and electrical service to the Sharp Park community.

Existing seawalls were constructed in 1984, but multiple failures demonstrate the shallow foundation structures are inadequate for the dynamic wave environment and prone
to failure from scour, undermining an excessive wave
overtopping within the next 10 years.

This project aims to create a multi-benefit solution to protect public infrastructure, recreational activities, and the community at large, from further coastal hazard
impacts along Beach Boulevard, including risks associated with future sea level rise.

Phase 1 of the project involved a detailed feasibility
study which consisted of an existing conditions report, multi-hazard risk assessment, alternative development
and analysis, economic assessment, and a robust public
outreach program.

Potential project alternatives were evaluated in the
feasibility study including beach nourishment, sand
retention structures (e.g., groins, reefs, and breakwaters), rock revetment, and seawall. Each alternative was scored in a multi-criteria analysis which considered technical performance, economics, and environmental resources.

Phase 1 culminated in 2021 with the selection of the
preferred alternative consisting of a seawall, rock scour protection, and beach nourishment (hybrid coastal
protection system).

GHD’s team continues to support the City on Phase 2 of
the project which involves preliminary engineering design, CEQA/environmental document, permitting and final
design. The preliminary design phase is expected to wrap up in 2025 with preparation of 35% drawings, updated
cost estimate, basis of design report, and detailed project description for use in the CEQA process.

| 5GHD | Preparation of Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Study | City of Pismo Beach Project Description
The City of Monterey is highly vulnerable to sea level
rise (SLR) impacts, including coastal flooding, shoreline erosion, and risks to critical public infrastructure,
recreational areas, and historic coastal resources. GHD is partnering with the City to deliver a comprehensive
Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment, Adaptation Plan, and Economic Analysis. Through this project, the City
of Monterey will gain a science-based, economically
grounded, and community-driven roadmap for addressing
sea level rise. The plan will prioritize resilience, preserve coastal access and natural resources, and support
the long-term economic and social well-being of the
community.

This project builds on the City’s prior AB-691 SLR
Assessment and Integrated Climate Science-Economic
Model, expanding upon existing knowledge to provide
actionable strategies that address both near-term
vulnerabilities and long-term climate resilience goals. The Vulnerability Assessment will employ a transect-based
approach to evaluate site-specific coastal hazards,
while the Economic Analysis—led by the Center for the
Blue Economy (CBE) and Ceto—will quantify the costs
of inaction against the benefits of proactive adaptation strategies. Potential responses include nature-based
solutions such as dune restoration and hybrid structural/ non-structural strategies tailored to Monterey’s unique coastline. The project will incorporate the latest State of California SLR Guidance and apply a robust cost-benefit and uncertainty analysis to inform decision-making.

Community engagement, led by Winter Consulting, will
ensure that local residents, businesses, environmental
justice groups, and other stakeholders play a central role in shaping adaptation strategies. The final Adaptation
Plan will establish phased, flexible adaptation pathways with clear near-, mid-, and long-term implementation
actions. A Local Coastal Program amendment will also be prepared to align City policies with state guidance and ensure consistency with the California Coastal Act.

| 9GHD | Preparation of Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Study | City of Pismo Beach Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Study GHD intends to focus its efforts on specific tasks of the RFP that best align with our experience and expertise. Our approach builds on the City’s prior work, while providing the technical depth and practical planning support needed to advance adaptation planning at the neighborhood scale. The updated Vulnerability Assessment (Task 2) and Adaptation Plan (Task 3) will be developed with specific chapters focused on the seven neighborhood planning areas along the coast, as specified in the City’s Land Use Element (Figure 1).

In close collaboration with the City, we will take a lead role in developing the technical foundation for this study through updates to the City’s sea level rise data, vulnerability assessment, and adaptation planning. For other tasks, such as the economic analysis, visioning, and outreach, GHD will provide a supporting role to ensure consistency and integration across the study. Tasks outside our core expertise have not been included in our proposal but can be supported if requested by the City.

GHD will identify and inventory data needed to update the City’s 2019 Vulnerability Assessment and to develop adaptation plans.

This will include collecting and reviewing technical reports and literature (geotechnical, hydrology, littoral processes, previous SLR reports) and geospatial data (coastal access, coastal armoring, cultural and biological resources, utility infrastructure).

As part of this task, GHD will also compile the best available data related to Pismo Beach’s coastal hazards (USGS modeling of potential coastal flooding and groundwater emergence, FEMA 100-year floodplain maps, Scripps Oceanography data on cliff erosion trends, and CoastSat data on recent shoreline change).

Assumptions
–GHD will participate in up to two (2) meetings with City staff to coordinate the collection of relevant City and County data (zoning, existing structures, infrastructure, land use). –City will provide relevant prior studies/investigations related to coastal and SLR hazards, cultural/biological resources, geotechnical studies, hydro-geological reports.
–GHD will coordinate with the consultant leading the economic analysis and land use policy/zoning updates, to identify and inventory data relevant to the SLR Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan.

Deliverables
–An inventory list of the literature and data collected Task 2 - Update to 2019 Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment GHD will develop an updated SLR Vulnerability Assessment (Assessment) for the City that includes a characterization of risks for each of the neighborhood planning areas. The new Assessment will be based on the Port San Luis tide gauge SLR scenarios and anticipated time horizons provided in the recent Ocean Protection Council (OPC) SLR guidance released in 2024. New data will be leveraged to update the City’s existing and future vulnerabilities with regards to bluff erosion, beach loss, and coastal flooding. This will include a description of shoreline impacts and/or damages that have occurred since 2019 and any recent coastal armoring. Evaluated hazards in the Assessment will also be expanded to include potential coastal groundwater flooding risks using a model released by USGS in 2020.

Tasks 1, 2, and 3

Packet Page 88

Assumptions
–The Assessment will include relevant GIS maps and descriptions of hazards at the neighborhood scale. –GHD will evaluate hazard projections for up to three SLR scenarios and these will include an evaluation of hazards with coastal storm events. The scenarios will be selected through discussion with the City. –If Optional Tasks 1 or 2 are funded, additional information on coastal bluff and fluvial flooding vulnerabilities will be incorporated in the updated Assessment or summarized in an Assessment Addendum.

Deliverables
–Administrative Draft Vulnerability Assessment
–Draft SLR Vulnerability Assessment
–Final SLR Vulnerability Assessment
Task 3 - Update 2020 Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan
GHD will utilize the updated Vulnerability Assessment to prepare an SLR Adaptation Plan with conceptual adaptation strategies described for each of the neighborhood planning areas.

Task 3.1 - Strategies from the City’s 2020 Adaptation Plan Strategies will be reviewed and incorporated based on our assessment of their feasibility and efficacy. Additional adaptation strategies will then be developed for each neighborhood area including actions intended on preserving public access. Strategies will be aligned with anticipated risks for the near- and mid-term SLR scenarios (2050-2070).

High level concepts will also be developed for the long-term planning horizon (2100). Each neighborhood and its associated adaptation actions will be mapped over time based on observed environmental triggers and thresholds. The seven neighborhood strategies will be compiled into a comprehensive adaptation plan that highlights where strategies should be integrated across neighborhoods.

Task 3.2 - Adaptation Concept Cost Estimates
GHD will provide technical support to help develop preliminary cost estimates for adaptation strategies identified in Task 3 for use in the cost-benefit analyses performed by the Economic Analysis consultant as part of Task 4.

Adaptation Pathway Example
| 13GHD | Preparation of Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Study | City of Pismo Beach Assumptions
–GHD will develop a set of conceptual adaptation strategies for each of the neighborhood planning areas. –Draft adaptation strategies and preliminary cost estimates will be provided to the Economic Analysis Consultant to perform cost-benefit analyses of various strategy options. –The draft neighborhood-scale adaptation pathways will be shared with the City, community residents, and stakeholders through a series of outreach efforts. Community input will be integrated into the Final Adaptation Plan based on guidance from the City.

Deliverables
–Administrative Draft SLR Adaptation Plan
–Draft SLR Adaptation Plan
–Final SLR Adaptation Plan
Tasks 4 through 10
Task 4 - Economic Analysis
We are available to support this task if needed but haven’t included any budget in our proposal under the assumption this analysis will be performed by another consultant.

Task 5 - Visioning and Public Outreach
To support public outreach and visioning, GHD will prepare materials summarizing key information from Tasks 1-3 such as PowerPoint slides, maps depicting vulnerabilities, and adaptation concept visualizations. GHD will coordinate the design and content of these materials with the City and Outreach consultant and participate in up to 2 workshops to share the results.

Assumptions
–GHD will attend and participate in up to 2 workshops.
–The City and Outreach consultant will organize the workshops and provide direction on content needed for engagement.

Deliverables
–Outreach materials summarizing results from Tasks 1-3 to support public engagement.

Tasks 6 through 9
No GHD involvement.

We are available to support these planning tasks if needed but haven’t included any budget in our proposal under the assumption these tasks will be performed by another consultant.

Task 10 – Team Meetings/Local Public Meetings/Public Hearings GHD will participate in regular coordination meetings to support the City and project team throughout the study. We have assumed participation in bi-monthly team meetings, anticipated to be held virtually, to review progress, coordinate on task deliverables, and address technical or scheduling needs. In addition, GHD will attend up to two in-person meetings (either City study sessions or public hearings) to present findings and provide technical support. This level of engagement will ensure consistent communication, alignment across tasks, and responsiveness to the City’s priorities. | 14GHD | Preparation of Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Study | City of Pismo Beach Attachment 3
Council Agenda 1-20-2026 9.I-22
Packet Page 89

Optional Task 1 - Bluff Condition Evaluation/LIDAR Scans A more detailed analysis of coastal bluff conditions would be carried out through a subcontract with Dr. Adam Young at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Using LIDAR, Dr. Young will conduct a high- resolution 3D survey of the City’s bluff top, face, and toe. Results from this survey will provide insight into the condition of specific areas of the bluffs and identify areas that are at higher risk for large scale failure versus gradual erosion. The results will be used to inform the feasibility of bluff top adaptation options.

Deliverables
–3D imagery of the coastal bluffs in the City
–Narrative description of bluff characteristics with identification of more hazardous areas
Optional Task 2 – Fluvial Flooding Analysis
To better understand the potential for compound fluvial-coastal flooding in the low-lying areas surrounding Pismo Creek, GHD will develop a 2D HEC-RAS hydraulic model to evaluate a range of storm combinations. The model will include both tidal and fluvial boundary conditions to create a series of compound tidal-fluvial scenarios possible with SLR. The preliminary list of model runs provided in the table below was the basis for this proposal but can be refined based on discussions with the City and project team.

These scenarios will include possible flood extent and event probabilities (e.g., 10-year or 100-year events). Using these scenarios, we will also map anticipated beach profiles and summarize how these may influence flooding risks.

Optional Tasks 1, 2, and 4
|15GHD|Preparation of Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Study | City of Pismo Beach Assumptions
–GHD will develop a HEC-RAS 2-D model which includes the Pismo Creek floodplain extending 500 ft. upstream of Highway 101 Bridge.
–The 2-D model will include Meadow Creek and the adjacent floodplain as it is anticipated that flows from Pismo Creek and Meadow Creek mix.
–The HEC-RAS model will use publicly available bathymetry for terrain with modifications made to reflect building footprints.
–GHD will evaluate up to three (3) SLR scenarios, to be selected through discussion with the City. –No survey or geotechnical work will be conducted.

Deliverables
–Administrative Draft Hydrologic, Hydraulics, and Sea Level Rise Technical Memo –Draft Hydrologic, Hydraulics, and Sea Level Rise Technical Memo –Final Hydrologic, Hydraulics, and Sea Level Rise Technical Memo Optional Task 4 – Concept Drawings
GHD will prepare conceptual design plans for up to three (3), near-term adaptation actions. These will define major project features in plan and section views and illustrate the vertical and horizontal extent of each project. To facilitate community engagement and feedback on these designs, we will also create 3D visualizations and renderings of these concept drawings. In addition to the three conceptual design plans, GHD will develop up to three (3) high-level concepts for mid-term and long-term adaptation strategies to support further planning and feasibility analysis.

Assumptions
–Up to three (3) project-level adaptation strategies will be selected by the City for progression to 15% design level (from Task 2.4)
–One (1) compiled set of comments from the City will be received after the 15% design submittal –Plans will be provided in electronic format (.pdf) with page size 22”x34” –GHD will prepare materials and participate in up to two (2) community outreach meetings to share information on these designs with stakeholders.
–GHD will participate in up to four (4) design team meetings with the City during this task. –High level concepts for mid-term and long-term adaptation strategies not advanced to 15% design will be prepared at PowerPoint level, as-needed
