Projects
Repowering wind energy projects through careful siting of new wind turbines using map-based collision hazard models to minimize impacts to volant wildlife. Funded by wind companies (principally NextEra Renewable Energy, Inc.), California Energy Commission and East Bay Regional Park District, I have collaborated with a GIS analyst and managed a crew of five field biologists performing golden eagle behavior surveys and nocturnal surveys on bats and owls. The goal is to quantify flight patterns for development of predictive models to more carefully site new wind turbines in repowering projects. Focused behavior surveys began May 2012 and continue.
Collision hazard models have been prepared for seven wind projects, three of which were built.
Planning for additional repowering projects is underway.
Test avian safety of new mixer-ejector wind turbine (MEWT). Designed and implemented a beforeafter, control-impact experimental design to test the avian safety of a new, shrouded wind turbine developed by Ogin Inc. (formerly known as FloDesign Wind Turbine Corporation). Supported by a $718,000 grant from the California Energy Commission’s Public Interest Energy Research program and a 20% match share contribution from Ogin, I managed a crew of seven field biologists who performed periodic fatality searches and behavior surveys, carcass detection trials, nocturnal behavior surveys using a thermal camera, and spatial analyses with the collaboration of a GIS analyst. Field work began 1 April 2012 and ended 30 March 2015 without Ogin installing its MEWTs, but we still achieved multiple important scientific advances.

Assisted Dr. Michael Morrison with organizing and conducting a 2-day workshop on Habitat Conservation Plans, sponsored by Southern California Edison, and another 1- day workshop sponsored by PG&E. These Workshops were attended by academics, attorneys, and consultants with HCP experience. We guest-edited a Proceedings published in Environmental Management.
Mapping of biological resources along Highways 101, 46 and 41. Used GPS and GIS to delineate vegetation complexes and locations of special-status species along 26 miles of highway in San Luis Obispo County, 14 miles of highway and roadway in Monterey County, and in a large area north of Fresno, including within reclaimed gravel mining pits.
GPS mapping and monitoring at restoration sites and at Caltrans mitigation sites. Monitored the success of elderberry shrubs at one location, the success of willows at another location, and the response of wildlife to the succession of vegetation at both sites. Also used GPS to monitor the response of fossorial animals to yellow star-thistle eradication and natural grassland restoration efforts at Bear Valley in Colusa County and at the decommissioned Mather Air Force Base in Sacramento County.
Mercury effects on Red-legged Frog. Assisted Dr. Michael Morrison and US Fish and Wildlife Service in assessing the possible impacts of historical mercury mining on the federally listed California red-legged frog in Santa Clara County. Also measured habitat variables in streams.
Opposition to proposed No Surprises rule. Wrote a white paper and summary letter explaining scientific grounds for opposing the incidental take permit (ITP) rules providing ITP applicants and holders with general assurances they will be free of compliance with the Endangered Species Act once they adhere to the terms of a “properly functioning HCP.” Submitted 188 signatures of scientists and environmental professionals concerned about No Surprises rule US Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, all US Senators.
Natomas Basin Habitat Conservation Plan alternative. Designed narrow channel marsh to increase the likelihood of survival and recovery in the wild of giant garter snake, Swainson’s hawk and Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle. The design included replication and interspersion of treatments for experimental testing of critical habitat elements. I provided a report to Northern Territories, Inc.
Assessments of agricultural production system and environmental technology transfer to China.
Twice visited China and interviewed scientists, industrialists, agriculturalists, and the Directors of the Chinese Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Agriculture to assess the need and possible pathways for environmental clean-up technologies and trade opportunities between the US and China.
Yolo County Habitat Conservation Plan. Conducted landscape ecology study of Yolo County to spatially prioritize allocation of mitigation efforts to improve ecosystem functionality within the County from the perspective of 29 special-status species of wildlife and plants. Used a hierarchically structured indicators approach to apply principles of landscape and ecosystem ecology, conservation biology, and local values in rating land units. Derived GIS maps to help guide the conservation area design, and then developed implementation strategies.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 738 of 875
Mountain lion track count. Developed and conducted a carnivore monitoring program throughout California since 1985. Species counted include mountain lion, bobcat, black bear, coyote, red and gray fox, raccoon, striped skunk, badger, and black-tailed deer. Vegetation and land use are also monitored. Track survey transect was established on dusty, dirt roads within randomly selected quadrats.
Sumatran tiger and other felids. Upon award of Fulbright Research Fellowship, I designed and initiated track counts for seven species of wild cats in Sumatra, including Sumatran tiger, fishing cat, and golden cat. Spent four months on Sumatra and Java in 1988, and learned Bahasa Indonesia, the official Indonesian language.
Wildlife in agriculture. Beginning as post-graduate research, I studied pocket gophers and other wildlife in 40 alfalfa fields throughout the Sacramento Valley, and I surveyed for wildlife along a 200 mile road transect since 1989 with a hiatus of 1996-2004. The data are analyzed using GIS and methods from landscape ecology, and the results published and presented orally to farming groups in California and elsewhere. I also conducted the first study of wildlife in cover crops used on vineyards and orchards.
Agricultural energy use and Tulare County groundwater study. Developed and analyzed a data base of energy use in California agriculture, and collaborated on a landscape (GIS) study of groundwater contamination across Tulare County, California.
Pocket gopher damage in forest clear-cuts. Developed gopher sampling methods and tested various poison baits and baiting regimes in the largest-ever field study of pocket gopher management in forest plantations, involving 68 research plots in 55 clear-cuts among 6 National Forests in northern California.
Risk assessment of exotic species in North America. Developed empirical models of mammal and bird species invasions in North America, as well as a rating system for assigning priority research and control to exotic species in California, based on economic, environmental, and human health hazards.

Pre-construction Survey for Nesting Birds.
To the extent feasible, construction activities
should be scheduled to avoid the nesting
season. If construction activities are scheduled
to take place outside the nesting season, all
impacts to nesting birds protected under the
MBTA and California Fish and Game Code
would be avoided. The nesting season for most
birds in San Bernardino County extends from
February 1 through September 1.
If it is not possible to schedule construction
activities between September 1 and January
31, then pre-construction surveys for nesting
birds will be conducted by a qualified biologist
to ensure that no nests would be disturbed
during project implementation. These surveys
will be conducted no more than 5 days prior to
the initiation of any site disturbance activities
and equipment mobilization, vegetation
removal, fence installation, grading, etc. If
project activities are delayed by more than 5
days, an additional nesting bird survey will be
performed. During this survey, the biologist will
inspect all vegetation and other potential
nesting habitats (e.g., shrubs) in and
immediately adjacent to the impact area for
nests. Active nesting is present if a bird is
building a nest, sitting in a nest, a nest has
eggs or chicks in it, or adults are observed
carrying food to the nest. The results of the

surveys will be documented.
If an active nest is found sufficiently close to
work areas to be disturbed by these activities,
the qualified biologist will determine the extent
of a construction-free buffer zone to be
established around the nest (typically up to 300
feet for raptors and up to 100 feet for other
species), to ensure that no nests of species
protected by the MBTA and California Fish and
Game Code will be disturbed during project
implementation. Within the buffer zone, no site
disturbance and mobilization of heavy
equipment, including but not limited to
equipment staging, fence installation, clearing,
grubbing, vegetation removal, demolition, and
grading will be permitted until the chicks have
fledged.
A qualified biologist is an individual who has a
degree in biological sciences or related
resource management with a minimum of two
seasonal years post-degree experience
conducting surveys for nesting birds. During or
following academic training, the qualified
biologist will have achieved a high level of
professional experience and knowledge in
biological sciences and special-status species
identification, ecology, and habitat
requirements.

Pre-construction Survey for Burrowing Owl.
No more than 14 days prior to ground
disturbance a focused survey for burrowing owl
will be required to ensure take avoidance. Even
though burrowing owls were not located as part
of the general biological survey, a preconstruction survey for burrowing owl is required because burrowing owls may
encroach or migrate to the property at any time,
and therefore steps should be taken to ensure
avoidance, including reevaluating the
locations/presence of burrowing owl or burrows.
Pre-construction surveys shall be conducted in
accordance with the survey requirements
outlined in Appendix D of the CDFW’s Staff
Report on Burrowing Owl, dated March 7, 2012.
If burrowing owl are found on the project site
during pre-construction surveys, the biologist
conducting surveys shall immediately contact
the CDFW to develop a plan for avoidance
and/or translocation prior to construction crews
initiating any ground disturbance on the project
site.

Bernardino County Coroner (per § 7050.5 of
the Health and Safety Code). The provisions of
§ 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety
Code, § 5097.98 of the California PRC, and AB

determines the remains are Native American
and not the result of a crime scene, the coroner
will notify the NAHC, which then will designate
a Native American Most Likely Descendant
(MLD) for the Project (§ 5097.98 of the PRC).
The designated MLD will have 48 hours from
the time access to the property is granted to
make recommendations concerning treatment
of the remains. If the landowner does not agree
with the recommendations of the MLD, the
NAHC can mediate (§ 5097.94 of the PRC). If
no agreement is reached, the landowner must
rebury the remains where they will not be
further disturbed (§ 5097.98 of the PRC). This
will also include either recording the site with
the NAHC or the appropriate Information
Center; using an open space or conservation
zoning designation or easement; or recording a
reinternment document with the county in which
the property is located (AB 2641). Work may

Inadvertent Discovery of Paleontological
Resources. If paleontological materials are
uncovered during grading or other earth moving
activities, the contractor shall be required to halt
work in the immediate area of the find, and to
retain a professional paleontologist to examine
the materials to determine whether it is a
significant paleontological resource. If this
determination is positive, the resource shall be
left in place, if determined feasible by the
project paleontologist. Otherwise, the
paleontologist shall fully recover the
scientifically consequential information. Work
may continue outside of the area of the find;
however, no further work shall occur in the
immediate location of the find until all
information recovery has been completed and a
report concerning it filed with the Development

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION. The City Council herby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City as the Lead Agency has prepared an Initial Study in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines, there is no substantial evidence that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration with Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program is the appropriate environmental determination pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15074.
SECTION 2. SOCIO-ECONOMIC COST/BENEFIT STUDY. The Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study prepared by City staff found that the proposed project would not create any significant unmitigable physical blight or overburden public services in the community, and is hereby adopted based upon the following findings:
1. The Project will not create unmitigated physical blight within the City or overburden public services including, without limitation, the sufficiency of Police and Fire Protection services.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 808 of 875
3 The Project will not create significant unmitigable physical blight in the City of Redlands or overburden public services, including without limitation police and fire protection services. The Project developer will make improvements to facilitate implementation of the Project, including the construction of necessary adjacent roadway improvements along the project frontage (Tennessee Street and Pennsylvania Avenue) and the Project would fund and provide connections to existing City infrastructure. Conditions of approval for the project require the Project developer to fund the project’s fair share allocation of any necessary public infrastructure associated with development of the Project.
2. The benefits to the City resulting from development of the Project outweigh any direct cost to the City that may result.
The Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study demonstrates that the Project will generate “new net” annual revenues of approximately $564,399 and have costs of approximately $322,042 and therefore will result in a positive balance of $242,357 (or positive cost/benefit ratio of +1.87). For every dollar the City spends in providing services to the Project, the City will receive $1.87 in “new net” revenue. The Project would provide for the development of 460 new residential units and 18,000 square feet of neighborhood serving commercial space. The project also provides 20 very-low-income affordable housing units. Schools will be enhanced with the payment of school fees. Further, with the additional revenue provided to the City through increased property tax assessment, indirect funding will be provided for cultural enhancements, downtown district enhancements, public safety (Police and Fire) enhancements, and traffic enhancements.
SECTION 3. APPROVAL OF SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT.
The proposed Specific Plan Amendment No. 50 to the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan (Specific Plan No. 40) will be consistent with the General Plan and is hereby approved. Specific Plan Amendment 50 will become effective for the subject property consisting of 13.48 acres upon adoption of an applicable resolution.
SECTION 4. FINDINGS FOR ZONE CHANGE. The proposed Zone Change No. 477 is hereby approved based upon the following findings.
1. The proposed change of zone is in conformance with the General Plan.
The existing General Plan designation of the site is Commercial. The Commercial land use category designates areas for the development of a wide range of commercial uses, including neighborhood-serving stores and convenience centers, regional commercial centers, and commercial recreation. Sites with this designation may be developed with a stand-alone commercial use, two or more commercial uses, or mixed uses. The Commercial land use category may permit residential and mixed uses consistent with the underlying zoning district. The proposed zone change to General Commercial (C-3) is consistent with the General Plan designation of Commercial. The General Commercial District allows a wide variety of commercial retail and service uses. It also allows residential uses subject to approval of a conditional use permit either as a mixed-use development, or as a multifamilyRedlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 809 of 875 4 attached residential project. The proposed zone change to Commercial will allow the future development of a mixed use project that is consistent with the intent of the General Plan designation of Commercial.
2. The proposed change of zone is related to the public health, safety or general welfare.
The City’s 2035 General Plan represents the most cohesively expressed goals related to the public health, safety, and general welfare within the City of Redlands. As the proposed change of zone directly implements the 2035 General Plan including the 2021-2029 Housing Element, the project will directly further the goals and objectives the City has set forth to protect and preserve the public health, safety, and general welfare.
SECTION 5. FINDINGS FOR TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 20688. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map No. 20688 is hereby approved based upon the following findings, and subject to the Conditions of Approval attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and Exhibit “B”:
1. The proposed map is consistent with the General Plan or any applicable specific plan, or other applicable provisions of the Redlands Municipal Code.
The proposed map will be consistent with the Redlands General Plan and the Redlands Municipal Code. The proposed subdivision is within the Commercial land use designation of the General Plan. The subdivision is consistent with the development standards of the underlying zoning district in terms require lot size, width and depth and is supported by the General Plan policies outlined in the staff report.
2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development.
The project site is physically suitable for the proposed developments. The existing site is approximately 13.48 gross acres. The site is generally flat and rectangular. All on-site and off-site improvements proposed as part of the project’s design will meet all City standards with the approval of a Density Bonus Agreement with Declaration of Affordable Housing Covenants and Restrictions and will provide a safe and efficient environment for the future residents after development.
3. The site is physically suitable for the density of the development.
The property is located within the Commercial land use designation of the General Plan, which allows commercial development and residential development consistent with the project site’s proposed C-3 zoning. The C-3 District allows mixed-use and apartment residential development consistent with the density standards of the Multiple Family Residential (R-3) District. The project exceeds this density; however, it is consistent with the allowable density allowed based upon the State Density Bonus Law, while still providing outdoor recreation areas, on-site amenities, required parking, and appropriate access.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 810 of 875
5 4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The project site does not contain any suitable habitat areas and is largely surrounded by existing urbanized development. The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The developable portions of the site do not contain any biological resources including fish or wildlife, and based on the Initial Study that has been prepared for the project, there are no environmental factors that cannot be mitigated to a level of less than significant.
5. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems.
The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems. The project is located in an area that is adjacent to approved residential uses and potential future commercial development. The project is designed with improvements that meet all City and State building and fire codes, and no offensive emissions or odors will be associated with the residential development.
6. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. The Parcel Map provides the necessary easements for utilities and access, and is responsible for installing or repairing associated street improvements such as curb, gutter, and sidewalk consistent with the City requirements, if necessary, at the time of construction.
7. That pursuant to Section 66474.4 of the Subdivision Map Act, the land is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 (commencing with section 51200 of the Government Code) and that the resulting parcels following a subdivision of the land would be too small to sustain their agricultural use.
The subject property is not under a Williamson Act Contract pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 and will not be detrimental or otherwise affect lands in agricultural use.
SECTION 6. FINDING FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1173. The proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 1173 is hereby approved based upon the following findings, and subject to the Conditions of Approval from the Development Services Department (Exhibit “A”) and Development Services Land Use Engineering Division (Exhibit “B”) attached hereto:
1. That the proposed development will not adversely affect the applicable land use plans of the city.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 811 of 875
6 The property is located within the Commercial land use designation of the General Plan, which allows commercial development and residential development consistent with the project’s proposed General Commercial (C-3) zoning. The C-3 District allows mixed-use and apartment residential development consistent with the density standards of the Multiple Family Residential (R-3) District. The project exceeds this density; however, it is consistent with the allowable density allowed based upon the State Density Bonus Law, while still providing outdoor recreation areas amenities, required parking and appropriate access.
2. That the proposed development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare.
The proposed project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare. The proposed project will be constructed in compliance with all applicable design and engineering requirements, including the California Building Code, California Fire Code, applicable provisions of the Redlands Municipal Code, and all applicable site design and engineering standards. There will be no anticipated conflicts or hazards in terms of vehicle traffic or pedestrians, or nearby intersections.
3. That the proposed development will comply to the maximum extent feasible with the regulations of the city's general plan, the applicable zoning district and the city's development standards.
The proposed development will comply to the maximum extent feasible with the regulations of the City's 2035 General Plan, the applicable zoning district, and the City's development standards. The existing General Plan designation for the project site is Commercial, and the C-3 zoning permits mixed uses (residential combined with commercial uses) subject to a Conditional Use Permit. The conceptual site plan indicates the proposed development will be in conformance with the applicable development standards of the C-3, General Commercial zone and applicable design and development standards.
4. That the proposed development is appropriate at the proposed location.
The proposed project is in a location that is adjacent to a recently approved high-density multifamily residential development as well as commercial developments. The proposed project includes a mix of high-density residential and commercial uses, which create a transition from lower density residential uses (located to the north and east of the project site) to this proposed higher-density mixed use development nearer the freeway. Similarly, the project’s commercial uses will create a transition from the existing and potential future commercial uses with higher intensity of use to the south along Lugonia Avenue. The project is located adjacent to roadways which have been designed to facilitate the type and quantity of traffic anticipated to be generated by this project. Due to the project site’s proximity to freeway on-ramps and off-ramps, vehicles traveling to and from the site would not be routed significant distances through other portions of the City where traffic impacts may occur.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 812 of 875

8 1. The development project would not be a hazard or nuisance to the city at large or establish a use or development inconsistent with the goals and policies of the city's general plan.
Including the 76 density bonus units, the completed project will include 460 dwelling units, which will not be a hazard or nuisance to the City of Redlands at large. The proposed project and land use will be consistent with several policies and actions contained in the General Plan. The proposed project will also implement several goals and policies contained in the 2021-2029 Housing Element. The proposed project will help the City achieve its housing goal numbers as determined by the Regional Housing Needs Assessment as further explained in the Housing Element.
2. The number of dwellings can be accommodated by existing and planned infrastructure capacities.
Including the 76 density bonus units, the proposed project will include 460 apartment units which can be accommodated by existing and planned infrastructure. The City’s Development Review Committee (including Land Use Engineering staff and Municipal Utilities & Engineering Department) have reviewed the proposed project plans, and all necessary infrastructure, public and private utilities, and public services will be able to adequately serve the project site and vicinity.
3. Adequate evidence exists to ensure that the development of the property would result in the provision of affordable housing in a manner consistent with the purpose and intent of this chapter;
The proposed project is consistent with the applicable provisions of State density bonus law (Calif. Gov. Code Sections 65915 – 65918) and the project is subject to a Density Bonus Agreement that is included in the project entitlements. The development of the property will result in the provision of 20 affordable housing units for very-low-income households in a manner consistent with the purpose and intent of the Redlands Municipal Code as well as applicable State law.
4. In the event that the city does not grant at least one financial concession or incentive as defined in state law in addition to the density bonus, that additional concessions or incentives are not necessary to ensure affordable housing costs; and Provisions for any requested density bonus are detailed in State law. A developer who meets the requirement of State Density Bonus Law is entitled to a density bonus as a matter of right.
In addition to the density bonus, the City is also required to provide incentives/concessions.
The City is required to grant concessions which reduce development standards, or remove other regulatory constraints which result in increased costs to the developer. These concessions must be granted unless the City finds that the proposed concessions do not result in identifiable cost reductions, would cause a public health or safety problem, cause an environmental problem, harm a historical property or would be contrary to law.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 814 of 875
9 The applicant is not requesting any specific financial concessions. However, the applicant is requesting a reduction in parking stall depth as their only concession. Waiving development standards necessary for the construction of compliant density bonus projects is mandatory.
Generally, because granting of concessions, incentives and waivers to density bonus projects is mandatory, the City does not have discretion over their approval, except to the extent specific findings are authorized.
5. There are sufficient provisions to guarantee that the lower and very low-income units would remain affordable in the future.
The proposed project includes a Density Bonus Agreement that will ensure the project provides housing for very-low-income households in accordance with the granted density bonus and applicable State law for 55 years. The Density Bonus Agreement includes terms and provisions to ensure that only eligible very-low-income residents may reside in the affordable housing units within the development and have the benefit of affordable rents.
SECTION 9. APPROVAL. The City Council approves of the project entitlements including Amendment No. 50 the Specific Plan No. 40, Zone Change No. 477, Parcel Map No. 20688, Conditional Use Permit No. 1173, Commission Review & Approval No. 956, and the related Density Bonus Agreement and Inclusionary Housing Plan, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.
SECTION 10. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Resolution shall take effect upon adoption.
ADOPTED, SIGNED AND APPROVED this 3
rd day of December, 2024.

39. BIO-1: Pre-construction Survey for Nesting Birds. To the extent feasible, construction activities should be scheduled to avoid the nesting season. If construction activities are scheduled to take place outside the nesting season, all impacts to nesting birds protected under the MBTA and California Fish and Game Code would be avoided. The nesting season Redlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 821 of 875
16 for most birds in San Bernardino County extends from February 1 through September 1.
If it is not possible to schedule construction activities between September 1 and January 31, then pre-construction surveys for nesting birds will be conducted by a qualified biologist to ensure that no nests would be disturbed during project implementation. These surveys will be conducted no more than 5 days prior to the initiation of any site disturbance activities and equipment mobilization, vegetation removal, fence installation, grading, etc. If project activities are delayed by more than 5 days, an additional nesting bird survey will be performed. During this survey, the biologist will inspect all vegetation and other potential nesting habitats (e.g., shrubs) in and immediately adjacent to the impact area for nests. Active nesting is present if a bird is building a nest, sitting in a nest, a nest has eggs or chicks in it, or adults are observed carrying food to the nest. The results of the surveys will be documented.
If an active nest is found sufficiently close to work areas to be disturbed by these activities, the qualified biologist will determine the extent of a construction-free buffer zone to be established around the nest (typically up to 300 feet for raptors and up to 100 feet for other species), to ensure that no nests of species protected by the MBTA and California Fish and Game Code will be disturbed during project implementation. Within the buffer zone, no site disturbance and mobilization of heavy equipment, including but not limited to equipment staging, fence installation, clearing, grubbing, vegetation removal, demolition, and grading will be permitted until the chicks have fledged.
A qualified biologist is an individual who has a degree in biological sciences or related resource management with a minimum of two seasonal years post-degree experience conducting surveys for nesting birds. During or following academic training, the qualified biologist will have achieved a high level of professional experience and knowledge in biological sciences and special-status species identification, ecology, and habitat requirements.
40. BIO-2: Pre-construction Survey for Burrowing Owl. No more than 14 days prior to ground disturbance a focused survey for burrowing owl will be required to ensure take avoidance. Even though burrowing owls were not located as part of the general biological survey, a pre-construction survey for burrowing owl is required because burrowing owls may encroach or migrate to the property at any time, and therefore steps should be taken to ensure avoidance, including reevaluating the locations/presence of burrowing owl or burrows. Preconstruction surveys shall be conducted in accordance with the survey requirements outlined in Appendix D of the CDFW’s Staff Report on Burrowing Owl, dated March 7, 2012. If burrowing owl are found on the project site during pre-construction surveys, the biologist conducting surveys shall immediately contact the CDFW to develop a plan for avoidance and/or translocation prior to construction crews initiating any ground disturbance on the project site.
41. CUL-1: If subsurface deposits believed to be cultural or human in origin are discovered during construction, all work must halt within a 100-foot radius of the discovery. A qualified professional archaeologist, meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for prehistoric and historic archaeology, shall be retained to evaluate the Redlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 822 of 875
17 significance of the find, and shall have the authority to modify the no-work radius as appropriate, using professional judgment. The following notifications shall apply, depending on the nature of the find:
• If the professional archaeologist determines that the find does not represent a cultural resource, work may resume immediately and no agency notifications are required. • If the professional archaeologist determines that the find does represent a cultural resource from any time period or cultural affiliation, the archaeologist shall immediately notify the lead agencies. The agencies shall consult on a finding of eligibility and implement appropriate treatment measures, if the find is determined to be a Historical Resource under CEQA, as defined in Section 15064.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines or a historic property under Section 106 NHPA, if applicable. Work may not resume within the no-work radius until the lead agencies, through consultation as appropriate, determine that the site either: 1) is not a Historical Resource under CEQA or a Historic Property under Section 106; or 2) that the treatment measures have been completed to their satisfaction.
If the find includes human remains, or remains that are potentially human, they shall ensure reasonable protection measures are taken to protect the discovery from disturbance (AB 2641). The archaeologist shall notify the San Bernardino County Coroner (per § 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code). The provisions of § 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, § 5097.98 of the California PRC, and AB 2641 will be implemented. If the coroner determines the remains are Native American and not the result of a crime scene, the coroner will notify the NAHC, which then will designate a Native American Most Likely Descendant (MLD) for the Project (§ 5097.98 of the PRC). The designated MLD will have 48 hours from the time access to the property is granted to make recommendations concerning treatment of the remains. If the landowner does not agree with the recommendations of the MLD, the NAHC can mediate (§ 5097.94 of the PRC). If no agreement is reached, the landowner must rebury the remains where they will not be further disturbed (§ 5097.98 of the PRC). This will also include either recording the site with the NAHC or the appropriate Information Center; using an open space or conservation zoning designation or easement; or recording a reinternment document with the county in which the property is located (AB 2641). Work may not resume within the no-work radius until the lead agencies, through consultation as appropriate, determine that the treatment measures have been completed to their satisfaction.
42. GEO-1 Inadvertent Discovery of Paleontological Resources. If paleontological materials are uncovered during grading or other earth moving activities, the contractor shall be required to halt work in the immediate area of the find, and to retain a professional paleontologist to examine the materials to determine whether it is a significant paleontological resource. If this determination is positive, the resource shall be left in place, if determined feasible by the project paleontologist. Otherwise, the paleontologist shall fully recover the scientifically consequential information. Work may continue outside of the area of the find; however, no further work shall occur in the immediate location of the find until all information recovery has been completed and a report concerning it filed with the Development Services Director. The applicant shall bear the cost of implementing this mitigation.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 823 of 875
18 43. NOI-1 Reduce Potential Building 3 HVAC Noise Levels. To reduce potential noise levels from Building 3 heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment:
1. The installation of HVAC units or systems that generate a noise level greater than 75 dBA (at 3 feet) for units located within 90 lateral feet of the project’s eastern property line shall be prohibited; or
2. Parapet walls for any building with an HVAC unit or system within 90 feet of the project’s eastern property line shall be at least 1 foot taller than the top of the tallest installed HVAC unit.
44. TCR-1 Native American Treatment Agreement. Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the Applicant shall enter into a Tribal Monitoring Agreement with the Consulting Tribe(s) for the Project. The Tribal Monitor shall be on‐site during all ground‐disturbing activities (including, but not limited to, clearing, grubbing, tree and bush removal, grading, trenching, fence post placement and removal, construction excavation, excavation for all utility and irrigation lines, and landscaping phases of any kind). The Tribal Monitor shall have the authority to temporarily divert, redirect, or halt the ground‐disturbing activities to allow identification, evaluation, and potential recovery of cultural resources.
45. TCR-2 Retention of Archaeologist. Prior to any ground‐disturbing activities (including, but not limited to, clearing, grubbing, tree and bush removal, grading, trenching, fence post replacement and removal, construction excavation, excavation for all utility and irrigation lines, and landscaping phases of any kind), and prior to the issuance of grading permits, the Applicant shall retain a qualified archaeologist who meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior Standards (SOI). The archaeologist shall be present during all ground‐disturbing activities to identify any known or suspected archaeological and/or cultural resources. The archaeologist shall conduct a Cultural Resource Sensitivity Training, in conjunction with the Tribe[s] Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO), and/or designated Tribal Representative. The training session shall focus on the archaeological and tribal cultural resources that may be encountered during ground‐disturbing activities as well as the procedures to be followed in such an event.
46. TCR-3 Cultural Resource Management Plan. Prior to any ground‐disturbing activities the Project archaeologist shall develop a Cultural Resource Management Plan (CRMP) and/or Archaeological Monitoring and Treatment Plan (AMTP) to address the details, timing, and responsibilities of all archaeological and cultural resource activities that occur on the Project site. This Plan shall be written in consultation with the Consulting Tribe(s) and shall include the following: approved Mitigation Measures (MM)/Conditions of Approval (COA), contact information for all pertinent parties, parties’ responsibilities, procedures for each MM or COA, and an overview of the Project schedule.
47. TCR-4 Pre-Grade Meeting. The retained qualified archeologist and Consulting Tribe(s) representative shall attend the pre‐grade meeting with the grading contractors to explain and coordinate the requirements of the monitoring plan.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 824 of 875
19 48. TCR-5 On-Site Monitoring. During all ground‐disturbing activities the qualified archaeologist and the Native American monitor shall be on‐site full‐time. The frequency of inspections shall depend on the rate of excavation, the materials excavated, and any discoveries of Tribal Cultural Resources as defined in California Public Resources Code Section 21074. Archaeological and Native American monitoring will be discontinued when the depth of grading and the soil conditions no longer retain the potential to contain cultural deposits. The qualified archaeologist, in consultation with the Native American monitor, shall be responsible for determining the duration and frequency of monitoring.
49. TCR-6 Inadvertent Discovery of Cultural Resources. In the event that previously unidentified cultural resources are unearthed during construction, the qualified archaeologist and the Native American monitor shall have the authority to temporarily divert and/or temporarily halt ground disturbance operations in the area of discovery to allow for the evaluation of potentially significant cultural resources. Isolates and clearly non‐significant deposits shall be minimally documented in the field and collected so the monitored grading can proceed. If a potentially significant cultural resource(s) is discovered, work shall stop within a 60‐foot perimeter of the discovery and an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) physical demarcation/barrier constructed. All work shall be diverted away from the vicinity of the find, so that the find can be evaluated by the qualified archaeologist and Tribal Monitor[s]. The archaeologist shall notify the Lead Agency and Consulting Tribe(s) of said discovery. The qualified archaeologist, in consultation with the Lead Agency, the Consulting Tribe(s), and the Native American monitor, shall determine the significance of the discovered resource. A recommendation for the treatment and disposition of the Tribal Cultural Resource shall be made by the qualified archaeologist in consultation with the Tribe[s] and the Native American monitor[s] and be submitted to the Lead Agency for review and approval. Below are the possible treatments and dispositions of significant cultural resources in order of CEQA preference:
• Full avoidance.
• If avoidance is not feasible, Preservation in place.
• If Preservation in place is not feasible, all items shall be reburied in an area away from any future impacts and reside in a permanent conservation easement or Deed Restriction.
• If all other options are proven to be infeasible, data recovery through excavation and then curation in a Curation Facility that meets the Federal Curation Standards (CFR
79.1)
50. TCR-7 Inadvertent Discovery of Human Remains. The Consulting Tribe(s) requests the following specific conditions to be imposed in order to protect Native American human remains and/or cremations. No photographs are to be taken except by the coroner, with written approval by the Consulting Tribe(s).
A. Should human remains and/or cremations be encountered on the surface or during any and all ground‐disturbing activities (i.e., clearing, grubbing, tree and bush removal, grading, trenching, fence post placement and removal, construction excavation, excavation for all water supply, electrical, and irrigation lines, and landscaping phases of any kind), work in the immediate vicinity of the discovery Redlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 825 of 875
20 shall immediately stop within a 100‐foot perimeter of the discovery. The area shall be protected; project personnel/observers will be restricted. The County Coroner is to be contacted within 24 hours of discovery. The County Coroner has 48 hours to make his/her determination pursuant to State and Safety Code §7050.5. and Public Resources Code (PRC) § 5097.98.
B. In the event that the human remains and/or cremations are identified as Native American, the Coroner shall notify the Native American Heritage Commission within 24 hours of determination pursuant to subdivision (c) of HSC §7050.5.
C. The Native American Heritage Commission shall immediately notify the person or persons it believes to be the Most Likely Descendant (MLD). The MLD has 48 hours, upon being granted access to the Project site, to inspect the site of discovery and make his/her recommendation for final treatment and disposition, with appropriate dignity, of the remains and all associated grave goods pursuant to PRC §5097.98.
D. If the Morongo Band of Mission Indians has been named the Most Likely Descendant (MLD), the Tribe may wish to rebury the human remains and/or cremation and sacred items in their place of discovery with no further disturbance where they will reside in perpetuity. The place(s) of reburial shall not be disclosed by any party and is exempt from the California Public Records Act (California Government Code § 6254[r]). Reburial location of human remains and/or cremations shall be determined by the Tribe’s Most Likely Descendant (MLD), the landowner, and the City Planning Department.
44. TCR-8Final Report. The final report[s] created as a part of the Project (AMTP, isolate records, site records, survey reports, testing reports, etc.) shall be submitted to the City and Consulting Tribe(s) for review and comment. After approval of all parties, the final reports shall be submitted to the Eastern Information Center, and the Consulting Tribe(s).

Redlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 852 of 875
DISCUSSION:
The City of Redlands owns and operates a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) with a liquid treatment process system that includes two (2) parallel treatment processes. The conventional treatment process includes two (2) identical circular clarifiers that continuously manage solids by either returning them to the treatment process, or removing them. The secondary clarifiers were constructed in 1972 to meet new treatment standards mandated by the Clean Water Act. These clarifiers process approximately 1.0-1.5 million gallons of wastewater each day before the treated effluent is discharged to percolation ponds for groundwater recharge. It is now necessary to repair, replace, and upgrade the secondary clarifier components to ensure treatment system reliability.
In accordance with Redlands Municipal Code Chapter 2.16.160, on September 23, 2024, MUED staff issued a Request for Bids for rehabilitation and repair of WWTP secondary clarifier number one. On October 24, 2024, the City received bids from the following nine (9) vendors:

Staff reviewed each bid and determined that Clean Infusion LLC submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid. Staff recommends City Council approval of a Non-Professional Services Agreement with Clean Infusion LLC for an amount not-to-exceed $430,000, which includes an additional ten percent (10%) contingency allowance.
The Project is categorically exempt from environmental review in accordance with Section 15302(c) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as it involves the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities. The new structure will be located on the same site as the structure and will not expand treatment capacity.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
For the purposes of this Exhibit “A”, Clean Infusion, LLC is referred to as the “Contractor.” Wastewater Treatment Plant's Secondary Clarifier Rehabilitation Project (Project):
Secondary Clarifier No. 1 is currently out of service, cleaned, and drained, with all mechanical components still in place. The Project includes rehabilitating and repairing specific mechanical systems and components within the existing 80-ft diameter, partially submerged concrete secondary clarifier at the city’s WWTP. The existing clarifier is an Eimco/Ovivo Clarifier Type C2D; Serial No. 22021-03-A. The Contractor will be responsible for furnishing all materials, labor, equipment, and tools for the entire Project. The Project will consist of replacing the clarifier drive unit with a new Ovivo C30HT drive with a 3/4 hp gear motor. This drive must include the drive torque control unit and the motor drive package. Other mechanical components that will be replaced or rehabilitated with in-kind components per the manufacturer’s recommendations include the skimmer, skimmer arm, skimmer support, scum skimming device, mastic sealer, sludge collection drum with adjustable gate control boxes, eight (8) 6-inch PVC type II draw-off pipes (four (4) per arm) with elbows, collection arm, adjustable squeegee, skimming device counterbalance. Note: The city intends to reuse the existing anchors as part of this Project. This reuse and the replacement/rehabilitation of the in-kind components will eliminate the need for seismic calculations.
Drive and Clarifier Components:
The drive unit must be coated with a high-performance protective coating to resist abrasion and withstand wet conditions, corrosive fumes, chemical contact, and weathering. The coating should meet or exceed industry standards (i.e., NACE No. 3/SSPC-SP6) for surface preparation and use an epoxy or polyurethane-based coating with a minimum dry film thickness of 8-10 mils or as specified by the manufacturer for maximum durability. The drive must have torque overload protection control with a visual indicator and sounding alarm. The drive must rotate counterclockwise at 0.30 RPM to match the existing drive speed, rated up to 30,000 ft-lb torque, with real-time torque value display. Electrical work for the Project is minimal, as the existing control panel will be reused. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring proper integration with the new equipment while utilizing the existing electrical infrastructure.
The new drive assembly unit must be uniformly supported and as level as possible to prevent uneven loading on the main drive housing and bearing, essential to avoid distortion, which can lead to bearing failure and housing breakage. The Contractor will be responsible for the proper placement of the unit and for the lubrication of the drive unit according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Any damage occurring is the Contractor’s responsibility for repair or replacement of the entire unit. Contractor must coordinate with the manufacturer to verify the proper installation of the clarifier drive and components. Drive lubrication must be performed following the manufacturer's instructions. The Contractor is responsible for the proper storage of the equipment before and during Project activities. One (1) visit from the manufacturer is required for the startup/checkout of the drive assembly and components to ensure proper operation and to provide training for city personnel.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 861 of 875
I:\cmo\Agreements\Clean Infusion LLC Agreement (WWTP Secondary Clarifier Project) FY24-0067.docx-ms 8 The Contractor is to make all necessary adjustments or corrections to the work required by the manufacturer representative/inspector. If the manufacturer is required to re-visit the Project site due to adjustments/corrections, Contractor shall be responsible for those additional costs. When sandblasting, the drive must be fully covered or sealed off to protect against sand and dust.
Failure to follow the manufacturer's installation, storage, and operational guidelines will void the warranty, and any resulting issues will be at Contractor's expense. The city will provide and be responsible for proper roll-off bins for the disposal and removal of all old equipment. All new clarifier components (listed in the description section of the Fee/Cost Proposal) must be installed with the correct elevations and proper alignment of equipment per the design of the clarifier.
Once the Project is complete, the Contractor is required to operate the clarifier for a minimum of 8 hours, observe the rotation and clearance of the arms, and check for contact with the tank bottom. The Contractor is to conduct a thorough inspection of the clarifier and recommend any additional repairs or parts not listed in the scope of services. If additional work is necessary, the Contractor must submit a recommendation to the city. If feasible, the city will provide further direction. No work outside the scope of services is to be performed without city approval.
Onsite Blasting & Painting Services:
The Contractor shall provide all necessary equipment, materials, and labor for the onsite blasting and painting of the secondary clarifier. This includes the clarifier walkway and all underwater steel.
Surface Preparation:
Surface preparation shall be in accordance with SSPC-SP10 (Near-White Metal Blast Cleaning) standards. All rust, mill scale, old paint, and contaminants shall be removed to achieve a clean, roughened surface. Compressed air used for blasting must be clean and dry, and the surface shall be free of oil, grease, and moisture before painting.
Painting Requirements:
A minimum of two coats of high-performance epoxy paint suitable for wastewater environments must be applied. The first coat shall be epoxy primer with a dry film thickness (DFT) of 4-6 mils.
The second coat shall be epoxy topcoat, designed for chemical resistance, with a DFT of 5-8 mils. Paint type: Sherwin-Williams Macropoxy 646 or equivalent, approved by the City’s Project Manager.
Environmental Conditions:
All surface preparation and painting must be done under proper environmental conditions, including minimum and maximum temperature and humidity levels, as per the manufacturer's recommendations.
Professional Labor Services:
Professional labor services include the removal of the existing bridge, drive, and other clarifier components to be replaced, and the installation of the new complete drive unit and clarifier components as listed in the clarifier drive and components description of the Fee/Cost Proposal.
The Contractor is to supply all equipment necessary to complete the Project (i.e., crane, rigging equipment, and associated equipment). The Contractor is responsible for all documentation, safety protocols, and procedures related to confined space entry, ensuring compliance with Redlands Regular Meeting of 12-03-24 862 of 875
I:\cmo\Agreements\Clean Infusion LLC Agreement (WWTP Secondary Clarifier Project) FY24-0067.docx-ms 9 applicable regulations and standards. The Project is to be completed in one (1) mobilization and one (1) demobilization of equipment and personnel.
