1.1 Kickoff Meeting
This initial meeting will provide the opportunity for the team to get to know each other and establish a working relationship between team members. At this meeting, we will establish a communications protocol to ensure continuous coordination of interdependent tasks, and to provide a platform for problem solving in a collaborative manner. PlaceWorks will discuss the data needs, listed below, from the Transportation consultant for the noise, air quality and greenhouse gas modeling tasks.

We will also discuss coordination on mapping and graphics software.

1.2 Bi-Weekly Status Meetings
Based on the agreed communications protocol and meeting schedule, PlaceWorks will organize and implement the meeting schedule. We anticipate bi -weekly team meetings during key EIR development periods including scoping, preparing the Administrative Draft EIR, and the Final EIR. PlaceWorks staff will schedule the EIR meetings, prepare meeting agendas, and maintain a list of action items, including completion dates, to help keep the EIR process in alignment with the General Plan development process.

We have also included time to participate in General Plan meetings through the duration of the project, to provide information on baseline conditions and discuss the approach to developing EIR mitigation measures in alignment with the goals, policies and implementation programs of the General Plan elements. PlaceWorks assumes that the EIR and General Plan status meetings will be online.

1.3 EIR Project Management
PlaceWorks will coordinate with City staff and subconsultants throughout the duration of the project and will manage the scope, cost and schedule to ensure that the EIR process is completed efficiently and in accordance with the contract. In this task, we will prepare and manage subconsultant contracts and review subconsultant invoices to ensure that billings are in alignment with work progress. We will also prepare progress reports to accompany our monthly invoices.

1.4 Commission Meetings
This task includes PlaceWorks staff hours to assist City staff in preparing for meetings as determined during the course of the project. The hours in this task reflect anticipated tasks such as preparing public notices, staff reports (or memorandum to include in staff reports), and presentation materials.

1.5 General Plan Staff Assistance

E ngineering and Mapping Analyses
This section describes additional tasks that will inform the General Plan and provide information for the EIR. PlaceWorks will prepare an infrastructure capacity report to be incorporated into the utility section of the Draft EIR, as described in Sub Tasks 3.1 through

3.3. We will also prepare map sets and reports addressing natural resources and environmental hazards, as described in Subtasks 3.4 and 3.5.

3.1 Infrastructure Capacity Report
Data Collection
The utility systems to be addressed include:
 Water
DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 4  Wastewater
 Storm drainage
 Solid waste
 Privately-operated services such as electric, gas, and telecommunications PlaceWorks will incorporate information collected through research and direct interviews with service providers, including the California Water Services and Alco Water Service, Monterey One Water (M1W), Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority, and Pacific Gas & Electric, among others.

E xisting Conditions Analysis
For each topic, PlaceWorks will focus on constraints or deficiencies that may impact land use and environmental policies, and the status (and funding) of any plans to expand, adapt or rebuild facilities.

E valuation of Growth Impacts on Utilities
The section will include water and wastewater demands under the proposed General Plan buildout as compared to existing supplies and sewer/wastewater treatment capacities.

This scope of work assumes that the water purveyors, California Water Services and Alco Water Service, will produce Water Supply Assessments ( WSAs). PlaceWorks will incorporate information from the WSAs into the reports prepared as part of this task.

In addition, the capacity of Johnson Canyon Landfill to accept solid waste and the State and local solid waste diversion programs will be considered in determining potential solid waste impacts.

The scope assumes no field work, facility evaluations, or modeling relating to the adequacy of individual systems and will rely primarily on information provided by the service providers through interviews, correspondence, systems master plans, and technical reports.

3.2 Natural Resources Inventory Maps and Reports
The PlaceWorks team will prepare a Natural Resource Inventory document, supported by extensive mapping, that will provide baseline data necessary to complete the Conservation Element of the General Plan, and related sections of the EIR. The majority of this work will be completed through examination of existing City documents, database review, and field verification, as needed, to ensure all information used is up to date.

This sub -task will include a summary of all existing federal, State, and local regulation s addressing biological, hydrological, and mineral resources. This data may include maps, tables, and summaries of the following data:
 Vegetation types.
 Natural communities and wildlife habitats.
 Special status species designated on the California Natural Diversity Data Base.  Tree protection and planting.
 Invasive plant control.
 Predatory animal control.
 Local soil types.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 5  Agricultural resources including Farmland of Statewide Significance.  Water resources (discusses creek, creek daylighting, and bank protection).

This sub-task will also assess existing General Plan policies regarding the above-mentioned environmental sections as needed.

3.3 Environmental Hazards Maps and Reports
PlaceWorks will provide the baseline data needed to update the General Plan Safety Element, and prepare the Hazards and Hazardous Materials EIR Section. We will provide information on, seismic hazards, landslide potential, flooding, dam failure, wildfire hazards, aviation hazards, hazardous materials, emergency preparedness, and potential impacts of global climate change. This information will be gathered from existing federal, state, regional, and local resources and programs, and information from the CAP development.

PlaceWorks will compile information and maps for the downtown area and the community.

Each section of the report is described below.

G eologic Hazards
PlaceWorks will document hazards including ground shaking, liquefaction, fault rupture, differential settlement, and earthquake-induced landslides. We will include maps showing regional fault lines and earthquake probabilities, along with related hazards induced by earthquakes. The report will include documentation of specific hazards within the city such as unreinforced masonry and soft-story buildings in the downtown.

F lood Haz ards
PlaceWorks will document the flood hazards in the c ity, using the FEMA -designated 100- year and 500-year flood zones, along with other applicable flooding sources.

Wi ldfire Hazards
Wildfire hazards will include mapping of fire hazard severity zones as required by Senate Bill (SB) 1241 and will suggest ways to reduce wildfire risk in the Salinas Planning Area. We will consult with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention, as well as with the City Fire Department. This section will also discuss wildfire hazard mitigation measures such as defensible space, vegetation management, emergency vehicle access, street sign visibility, and availability of water in the event of a fire.

Ha zardous Materials
PlaceWorks will prepare the hazardous mater ials section that will identify areas within Salinas where hazardous materials are either stored or handled. Hazards associated with the following will be discussed:
 Leaking of underground storage tanks.
 Groundwater contamination.
 Spill prevention and accidental releases.
 Hazardous waste clean-up.
 Hazardous waste transportation.
 Demolition or renovation near sites with asbestos, lead -based paint, and universal wastes.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 6 Ad ditional Topics (Airport Safety and Emergency Preparedness) PlaceWorks will provide mapping and reporting on aviation hazards that could potentially occur at or near the San Salinas Airport, and any potential influences on existing or future operations. This section will also summarize the City’s emergency preparedness programs, including community -focused programs, City -focused programs, and automated notification systems, in addition to identifying evacuation routes per State General Plan guidelines. We will also include information on post-disaster recovery.

3.4 Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment
PlaceWorks will prepare a climate change vulnerability assessment, analyzing the current and future threat posed by natural hazards associated with climate change. The climate change vulnerability assessment will evaluate how the populations and community assets in Salinas may be harmed by these hazards, considering both direct and indirect impacts.

We anticipate that this assessment will look at drought, extreme heat, and flooding, along with agricultural pests, human health hazards, severe weather, regional wildfires and air quality impacts, and other hazards of concern to the community.

The climate change vulnerability assessment will consider the vulnerability for populations and community assets by evaluating impact (the severity of the hazard’s effects) and adaptive capacity (the ability to resist and recover from hazards), in accordance with the 2020 California Adaptation Planning Guide. This will include an assessment of historically marginalized, disadvantaged, or otherwise vulnerable communities. We will rely on an array of scientific research to conduct the vulnerability assessment, including peer - reviewed scientific studies, publications from academic institutions and government organizations, and other credible local, regional, state, and federal sources. The vulnerability assessment will incorporate information gathered for other sections of the EIR, including those on agriculture, biology, energy, hazards, public services, transportation, utilities, and any other relevant topic. We will translate the impact and adaptive capacity analysis into an overall vulnerability score, which will help identify the priority populations and assets most susceptible to the effects of climate change- related natural hazards.

The climate change vulnerability assessment will serve as a foundation for adaptation strategies, which will be integrated into the Climate Action Plan as part of Salinas’ comprehensive strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address the threat of climate chan ge. These strategies will help to increase community resilience to climate change-related natural hazards. The vulnerability assessment and the resulting strategies can be incorporated or referenced in the Safety Element of Salinas’ General Plan, satisfying State requirements to conduct a vulnerability assessment and prepare adaptation strategies as codified in Section 65302(g)(4) of the California Government Code.

PlaceWorks will prepare a summary of the climate change vulnerability assessment results.

This memo will identify the anticipated changes to climate change-related natural hazards and the population and assets most at risk of harm. It will also include mapping of at- risk areas, vulnerable population groups, and critical community assets, which may be used to support other community resilience and equity efforts.

 Vulnerability Assessment Summary (draft and final, electronic) Administrative Draft EIR

4.1 Buildout Projections
Our scope of work includes a budget allotment to work with City staff to develop the buildout metrics for the General Plan. Potential tasks can include assisting with buildout modeling, attending meetings with City staff and Commissions and the community, and presenting the buildout information to discuss the importance of “getting it right” for the General Plan Horizon year.

4.2 Project Description
The introduction of the EIR will discuss the purpose, intended use, tiering and streamlining process, the environmental review process, organization of the EIR and its relation to other plans and regulations, actions required to implement the General Plan, explanation of mitigation measures, and a description of agencies that may use the EIR.

PlaceWorks will draft a project des cription for City staff to review and approve, with additional narrative discussing the location, and regional context of the City. This section will also discuss the general components of the General Plan, as well as the differences between the current and updated Plans, which will be presented in a quantifiable manner, as will the rest of the EIR document. The project description will expand on the purposes of the EIR for the General Plan and, will discuss the required permits and approvals needed to adopt it.

4.3 Environmental Analysis
PlaceWorks will prepare an EIR that focuses on CEQA resource categories where substantial evidence of a potentially significant environmental impact exists. PlaceWorks will analyze the following topic areas in the document.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 8 Ae s thetics
The aesthetics analysis will review General Plan policies and programs that may impact scenic vistas and other resources, such as views of the hills. This section will determine whether the General Plan would have a substantial adverse effect on any protected aesthetic or visual resources. The setting will include a description of scenic views and corridors within and adjacent to the city. If necessary, mitigation measures to reduce aesthetics impacts to a less -than-significant level will be recommended in the form of additional or revised policies.

A gricultural and Forestry Resources
This section will catalog local agricultural resources, including urban agriculture. Potential impacts to these resources as a result of the proposed plan will be analyzed to determine if they pose a substantial adverse effect. These impacts may occur through direct conversion of Important Farmland, conflicts with land protected under Williamson Act contracts, or through potential indirect impacts on existing agricultural operations. In the event an impact is determined to be significant, mitigation measures shall be included to reduce the impact to as minimally significant as possible.

A ir Quality and Greenhouse Gasses
PlaceWorks will prepare an air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions analysis for the Salinas General Plan Update and EIR. The analysis will be based on the current methodology of the Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) CEQA Air Quality Guidelines for projects in the North Central Coast Air Basin (NCCAB). i. Existing Emissions Inventory
PlaceWorks will prepare an existing criteria air pollutant and GHG emissions inventory for the City of Salinas. The inventory will include the following sectors.  On-Road Transportation. Buildout of the General Plan would generate criteria air pollutant and GHG emissions from an anticipated increase in trips and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by passenger vehicles and trucks. VMT will be modeled using th e
Cal
ifornia Air Resources Board’s (CARB) latest emissions factor model (EMFAC) based on data provided by the City’s traffic engineer using an origin-destination model. VMT should be provided by internal -external/external-internal and internal -internal trips for trips that start and end in the project area.
 Residential a nd Non -Residential Built Environment (Energy). Buildings in the City consume electricity and natural gas. Activity data provided by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and the Monterey Bay Community Power Authority (MBCPA) will be used to compile the criteria air pollutant and GHG emissions inventory. GHG emissions from electricity use will be based on the latest carbon intensity available from PG&E and power content label for the MBCPA.  Water Use/Wastewater Generation. Electricity is used to trans port and treat water for indoor and outdoor purposes. Additionally, treatment of wastewater generates fugitive GHG emissions. GHG emissions from this sector will be based on data available from the California Water Service (Cal-Water) Urban Water Management Plan for th e
C
ity of Salinas.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 9  Solid Waste Disposal. Disposal of municipal solid waste generate indirect GHG emissions from decomposition of organic materials. This sector will be based on data available from CalRecycle for the City modeled using CARB’s latest landfill gas model.  Agriculture. This sector includes emissions from off -road agricultural equipment fuel use, fertilizer application on crops, livestock digestion (enteric fermentation and manure management), pesticide application, and agricultural residue burning.  Other Applicable Sources. Use of off -road equipment, such as those used during construction activities, in the City also generates criteria air pollutant and GHG emission.
 Permitted Sources. While industrial sources in the City generate emissions, thes e s
tationary sources are permitted sources of emissions and not under the direct or indirect control of the City. If information is available for permitted sources from MBARD, these sources will be identified within the inventory separately. ii. Future Emissions Forecasts
Once the General Plan horizon year land use statistics are compiled, PlaceWorks will conduct emissions forecasts for the General Plan Horizon Year. The emissions forecast will be based on historic information compiled for the existing conditions and forecasted based on the increase in population and employment in the City and Planning Area as a result of implementation of the General Plan. The increase in VMT will be based on the data provided by the Traffic engineer using an o rigin-destination model. VMT should be provided by internal -external/external-internal and internal -internal trips for trips that start and end in the project area for the “Current General Plan” scenario and the “Proposed General Plan” scenario. For the General Plan horizon year air quality and GHG forecast, PlaceWorks will consider existing regulations that reduce criteria air pollutant and GHG emissions.
iii. Air Quality, Energy, and GHG Emissions EIR Analysis The EIR will detail potential environmental impacts associated with implementation of the General Plan Update compared to the CEQA Appendix G threshold questions.

The results of the technical modeling described above will be compiled into the EIR. Model outputs will be included as an appendix. Regional emissions will be compared to the applicable thresholds. Potential localized air quality impacts from construction activities associated with implementation of the General Plan will be described qualitatively and mitigation measures will be recommended to ensure that implementation of projects under the General Plan does not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.

The NCCAB is designated nonattainment under the California and National Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS) for ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM10). MBARD has adopted an Air Quality Management Plan to attain the long -term National and California ambient air quality standards. The study will include a consistency evaluation of the project’s regional emissions to goals of the AQMP adopted by MBARD. The outcomes of the Senate Bill 1000 Environmental Justice outreach will be documented in the EIR. The NCCAB is designated in attainment for carbon monoxide (CO) under both the California and National AAQS. Therefore, t he air quality analysis will include only a qualitative DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 10 assessment of CO hotspots. In addition, the study will include a qualitative assessment of potential odor generators to describe potential odor impacts.

PlaceWorks will quantify energy use associated with on-road fuel usage based on the VMT provided by the City’s traffic engineer using EMFAC and energy (i.e., natural gas and electricity) based on information collected by the utilities and forecast for the General Plan for the air quality and GHG analys is. PlaceWorks will also provide an overview and review of the project’s consistency with the California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program (RPS) and other energy-related regulations.

The GHG section in the EIR will discuss the City’s commitment to redu cing GHG emissions in accordance the GHG reduction goals of Senate Bill 32 (SB 32), Executive Orders S-03-05 and B-55-18, and SB 375. GHG emissions analyses continue to be an evolving area of CEQA.

We will work with the City to identify policies for the General Plan or mitigation measures, to minimize potential GHG impacts.

B iological Resources
ENVIRONMENTAL COLLABORATIVE will provide the requested biological consulting services directly under contract to PlaceWorks. Our scope for the General Plan Update will entail: 1) initial review of existing information on resources occurring in the Sphere of Influence; 2) preparation of a background report and planning recommendations; 3) input into the goals and policies of the General Plan Update, as appropriate; and 4) preparation of the Biological Resource section for the EIR. The following provides an outline for our scope.
 Collect and review existing information on biotic resources in the planning area.

Information sources will include: the Biological Assessment – Existing Conditions Report and the Biological Assessment – Impact Analysis City of Salinas General Plan prepared by Biotic Resources; records on occurrences of special -status taxa and sensitive natural communities maintained by the California Natural Di versity Data Base (CNDDB) of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW); records on sensitive resources available from the California Native Plant Society, the City and County, CDFW, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS); environmental documentation for specific development applications within the City’s sphere of influence; wetlands mapping prepared as part of the National Wetland Inventory of the USFWS; and habitat mapping prepared as part of the CALVEG program of the U.S.

Forest Service.
 A limited field reconnaissance will be conducted by vehicle survey where necessary to generally review locations within the planning area. However, no detailed surveys or mapping is proposed as part of this scope or is believed necessary, given the gen eral planning level analysis involved in the General Plan Update. Detailed surveys and mapping of areas could be performed under an expanded scope, if considered useful by the City to further refine biological and wetland constraints.  Prepare a Background Report describing biological and wetland resources in the planning area. The report will provide information on vegetation types, wildlife habitat, potential for special-status species and jurisdictional wetlands, and any other important biotic features. General recommendations will be prepared addressing known sensitive resources, and possible need for further investigation to confirm presence or absence of potential resources. Staff from PlaceWorks will work with m e
t
o consolidate available GIS data into maps for use in the assessment process. These DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 11 include maps on vegetation and wetlands, as well as known occurrences of sensitive natural communities and special -status species based on mapping from the CNDDB records.
 Provide input into the General Plan Update. This will include working with PlaceWorks staff in developing appropriate updated policies and actions necessary to identify, avoid, and as mitigate potential impacts to sensitive biological and wetland resources.  Prepare the Biological Resource section of the EIR. The Plan will presumably be self - mitigating through implementation of updated goals and policies, and site-specifi c a
nalysis of individual projects or preparation of comprehensive mitigation programs.

No habitat conservation plans or other detailed mitigation programs are proposed as part of this scope.

C ultural Resources
i. Cultural Resources Technical Study
Albion will assist the PlaceWorks team by conducting cultural resources technical studies as a part of Environmental Studies and Analyses task outlined in the RFP. Our study will include background research, Native American outreach, development of a cultural resource sensitivity model, and a technical report. PlaceWorks staff will edit the technical report into the EIR chapter.
a) Background Research
A
detailed records search at the Northwest Information Center at Sonoma State University for information on known cultural resources and previous studies within a �/�-m ile radius
of the planning study area, including resources listed on national, state, and local heritage inventories, will be conducted by Page and Turnbull, and Albion will process that data internally. We will also conduct background historical research and examine archival maps and photos to investigate any evidence of either precolonial or historic period materials.

Background research will also be conducted in order to support the sensitivity assessment.

We will identify, compile, review, and integrate new and existing information (e.g., available published data or reports), historical maps, geologic maps, soil maps, and related data relevant for assessing the potential for archaeological sites in and near the City limits. b) Se
nsitivity Model
After the background research has been synthesized, Albion will create an archaeo logical sensitivity model that encompasses all areas within the planning study area. We will use environmental factors such as surface slope, distance to known perennial water sources, and the distance to perennial stream confluences. These factors will be analyzed using a GIS system. This model will then be combined with relevant data from soil surveys and Quaternary geology maps to estimate the age and extent of the deposits exposed at the surface within the planning study area. The sensitivity model will utilize attributes that can provide guidance for determining the general sensitivity for archaeological sites to exist within the planning study area.
c) Technical Report
The results of our background research and the sensitivity model will be compiled int o a technical report to be used for regulatory compliance in the environmental review process.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 12 The report will, at a minimum, meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Archaeological Documentation and will be developed in accordance with the California Department of Parks and Recreation, State Office of Historical Preservation’s Archaeological Resource Management Reports: Recommended Contents and Format (1992). The report will contain the following elements:
 Executive summary;
 Description of proposed undertaking/project and its purpose;  Background contexts or summaries including natural and cultural settings;  Description of methods;
 Site sensitivity map, indicating the estimated potential for archaeological sites in the planning study area as determined by the modeling parameters;  Results of the records search;
 Maps and graphics that clearly delineate precise locations of cultural resources within the planning study area;
 Conclusions and management considerations;
 References cited; and
 Appendix A: the results from the Sacred Lands File search and NAHC outreach efforts organized into single confidential communication log to be given to the City. ii. Historic Resources
Page & Turnbull will review the Community Design Element and Conservation/Open Space Elements of the 2020 General Plan, the 2020 General Plan EIR (August 2002), the Historic Resources Board ordinance, and any existing conditions reports or other background materials related to cultural resources that may be produced in preparation for the Comprehensive General Plan update. We will participate in conference calls and meetings with PlaceWorks and City staff to discuss key issues related to cultural resources, as well as historic preservation program goals. We will assist PlaceWorks in developing the Comprehensive General Plan Update Administrative Draft EIR. We will conduct a detailed records search at the Northwest Information Center at Sonoma State University for information on known cultural resources and previous studies within the plan study area, including resources listed on national, state, and local heritage inventories. We will contribute to the chapter by preparing the environmental setting and impact analysis for historic resources.

T ribal Cultural Resources
A working relationship with the Native American community and individual tribal representatives is essential to the success of the cultural resource program. To assist the City, Albion will conduct a Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File Search for the Project. Albion will draft Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) and Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) consultation letters on behalf of the City, and work with the City to finalize the letters that City staff will distribute.

En ergy
This section will include the Energy analysis described above in 4.3.c, Air Quality and Greenhouse Gasses.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 13 G eology and Soils
PlaceWorks will prepare the “Setting” section of the EIR, relying on the existing conditions data collected. It is expected that geologic impacts may relate to seismic sha king, liquefaction, erosion, expansive soils, and subsidence. Potential seismic impacts, including ground shaking, surface rupture, liquefaction, and landslides will be described, as well as impacts to potential paleontological resources. Additionally, potential impacts related to geotechnical soil properties, such as erosion, expansive soils, and subsidence will be described. PlaceWorks will review the draft General Plan policies pertaining to geology, soils, and seismicity, and suggest revisions to these policies or new policies, if necessary, in order to mitigate potential geotechnical impacts.

Ha zards and Hazardous Materials
PlaceWorks will evaluate potential impacts associated with the use of hazardous materials during construction and land use operations. Potential impacts associated with development in areas with known or potential subsurface contamination and associated with aviation hazards, wildland fires, and emergency response and evacuation procedures will also be discussed. Potential public health and safety concerns in the city also may include demolition or renovation of buildings containing hazardous materials, and the proper management of hazardous materials during construction and land use operations.

Mitigation measures will be described as appropriate.

H ydrology and Water Quality
The hydrology section of the EIR will include the regulatory framework, regional and site- specific hydrological setting of the area, stormwater drainage characteristics, water quality data (both surface and groundwater), local receiving water bodies, pollutants of concern based on changes in land use, and flooding hazards. Pertinent local plans, laws, and regulations pertaining to hydrology and water quality will be identified, including the City of Salinas’ Municipal Code Chapter 29, Storm Water Management and Discharge Control Ordinance and Monterey County Regional Stormwater Management Program, which implements the requirements of the Phase II Small MS4 permit. It is assumed that the City will provide information regarding the storm drain system and the Stormwater Master Plan and advise of any constraints associated with future development within the General Plan area. In addition, future planned development within the General Plan area will be assessed in terms of the following:
 Potential increases in runoff volume with increases in impervious surfaces  Potential degradation of water quality associated with urban pollutants  Alterations in drainage patterns resulting in erosion, siltation, or flooding.

Mitigation measures that would reduce or eliminate any of the potential impacts will be identified and the incorporation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Low Impact Development (LID) will be considered for future development. The section will be prepared under the direction of a Registered Engineer in the State of California.

L and Use and Planning
The land use and planning sub -task is meant to determine if the proposed General Plan will physically divide any existing community within Salinas. Consistency between the proposed plans and existing plans, regulations, and local and regional laws will be checked to ensure there are no conflicts. Analysis of the proposed plans will address significant DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 14 changes to policies or mapping that may alter the land use and planning sections of the preexisting General Plan used in the City. Secondary land use impacts from any proposed changes will be measures in association to an increase in traffic, noise, and emissions, and policies will be introduced in this sub-task that will help mitigate these effects.

M ineral Resources
PlaceWorks will work to gather an up-to-date list of all known mineral resources within the City by using City staff records and related documents. These known mineral sources will be compared to areas of the General Plan that may impact the integrity of these resources.

This may include any proposed land use changes that would disturb or extract any mineral resources. In the event that a land use change is expected to disturb a mineral resource, mitigation measures will be included to reduce the effect.

No ise
PlaceWorks will prepare the noise and vibration technical analyses to support the Salinas General Plan Update. The EIR will discuss relevant standards and criteria for noise exposure, including those in the General Plan Noise Element and in the Municipal Code.

The noise analysis will include a field study and development of updated traffic and rail noise contours. The results of this analysis will be summarized in the EIR and modeling will be provided in an Appendix.

The primary source of noise in the City is traffic on major arterials and highways, including SR-101, SR-183, SR-68, and local roadways. PlaceWorks will identify major sources of noise in the City and document existing noise levels. PlaceWorks will conduct a noise measurement survey to acquire ambient noise level data. The ambient noise measurement survey will consist of up to 12 short-term (15-minute) locations and 5 long-term (48-hour) locations. These measurement locations will be selected by PlaceWorks, in coordination with City staff, and will take into consideration the major roadways, rail, as well as stationary sources of noise. The field data will provide baseline noise levels and will be used to supplement and validate noise modeling conducted for the EIR. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, noise monitoring is dependent on this developing situation and its effect on traffic patterns. Depending on the schedule and the evolving pandemic situation, alternatives to noise monitoring may need to be considered to characterize the ambient noise environment such as traffic noise modeling.
i. Transportation Noise
PlaceWorks will model existing and Plan buildout traffic noise levels using a version of the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Noise Prediction Model. PlaceWorks will develop noise contours based on the existing traffic data and future forecasts. The EIR will identify areas along roadway segments that would be exposed to noise levels above established criteria. Existing and future noise from rail operations will be characterized using the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) noise models and available passenger and freight operational data. Existing noise from aircraft overflights at the Salinas Municipal Airport will also be evaluated using available data. No detailed modeling of airport noise is proposed.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 15 ii. Stationary Noise
Noise impacts from non-transportation sources will be evaluated on a programmatic level, qualitatively based on local noise standards. PlaceWorks will analyze noise impacts from non-transportation sources such as major commerc ial and industrial uses in terms of potential impacts to nearby noise- sensitive receptors and the noise limitations identified within the City’s Municipal Code.
iii. Construction Noise and Vibration
PlaceWorks will provide a qualitative analysis for potential construction impacts associated with buildout of the Plan. Future noise and vibration effects from construction activities will be discussed in terms of accepted standards from the U.S. Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Feasible mitigation measures will be identified to minimize noise and vibration impacts associated with buildout of the Plan.

P opulation and Housing
This sub -task of the EIR will focus on ensuring that the housing and employment opportunities proposed in the General Plan will meet the goals set forth locally and regionally, as well as addressing future imbalances between the jobs and housing growth, commercial growth stimulating housing demand, and potential displacement.

P ublic Services
PlaceWorks will use the existing public services conditions Tasks 3 to complete an analysis of the City as -is and in the future, accounting for changes proposed by each plan. Any concerns expressed by service providers will be addressed and mitigated to the fullest extent possible. Secondary impacts associated with the construction of new public facilities will be addressed, with mitigating policies and programs being identified when needed.

Pa rks and Recreation
PlaceWorks staff will use City-collected parks and recreation data to determine the existing status and demand of parks. Proposed population changes and housing distribution as part of the proposed plans will be compared to the existing conditions to determine if additional park facilities are needed.

T ransportation
PlaceWorks is prepared to incorporate the transportation and traffic studies and existing conditions documented by the transportation consultant into the EIR. PlaceWorks will ensure the data collected, and any changes to the transportation element of the General Plan are adequate to address the transportation needs anticipated in the future.

Thresholds of significance will be based on a VMT model as required by SB 743, ensuring there are several alternatives presented by the transportation consultant that will adequately represent the dynamic needs of the Salinas transportation system.

U tilities
The utilities section of the EIR will rely partially on the Water Supply Assessment and Existing Infrastructure Capacity studies prepared in Tasks 3.1 through 3.3 above. This DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 16 section will provide the regulatory setting and impacts associated with water supply and demand, wastewater infrastructure, stormwater drainage, and solid waste disposal. The utilities section will include additional information from the Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs) for the water service providers – California Water Services and Alco Water Service; the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan and the Sewer System Management Plan for the City of Salinas; the Monterey One Water (M1W) wastewater treatment plant; the City of Salinas Storm Drain Master Plan; and CalRecycle Solid Waste Information System.

The utilities section will include existing conditions for water, wastewater, storm drainage, and solid waste and the identification of any constraints associated with the proposed General Plan Update. The section will include water and wastewater demands with the proposed buildout as compares to existing supplies and sewer/wastewater treatment capacities. Groundwater issues associated with water supply will also be considered and the reduction in water usage with conversion of agricultural land to other land uses will be evaluated. Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Low Impact Development (LID) measures will be considered in determining the potential for additional stormwater with the proposed buildout. In addition, the capacity of Johnson Canyon Landfill to accept solid waste and the State and local solid waste diversion programs will be considered in determining potential solid waste impacts.

Wi ldfire
PlaceWorks will summarize the results of the wildfire mapping from Task 3.5 above to address the significance criteria addressing wildland fire risk.

4.4 Cumulative Analysis
Cumulatively, the EIR will address the overall impacts and implications the projects may have on regional growth for Monterey County and the AMBAG region a. This analysis will consider the potential growth-inducing elements of each plan and appropriate conclusions will be prepared to fulfill CEQA requirements related to unavoidable significant impacts, significant irreversible changes, short and long -term productivity, and effects believed to be insignificant.

4.5 Alternatives Analysis
The PlaceWorks team will evaluate alternatives in the EIR that focus on citywide General Plan alternatives. A “No Project” alternative will be include d while other alternatives will be produced through the planning process and various community engagement strategies throughout the process, ensuring discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of each cited alternative. Additionally, each alternative will be consistent with the objectives outlined in the project description.

4.6 Administrative Draft EIR
PlaceWorks will prepare an Administrative Draft EIR and submit it electronically to City staff for review and comment. The impact analysis will be comprehensive and cover all CEQA requirements. Significance criteria will be identified for each impact topic based upon thresholds of significance identified in Appendix G, Environmental Checklist Form, of the State CEQA Guidelines and identified in the scoping process.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 17 Impacts and mitigation measures will be organized and discussed by topic. For each identified environmental impact, a set of feasible mitigation measures will be recommended. Pertinent calculations and technical information will be provided in attached appendices.

The ADEIR will cover the following topics:
 Executive Summary. PlaceWorks will create a summary in a form consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15123, Summary. This summary will facilitate a quick understanding of environmental issues and the actions required to mitigate potential impacts. It will include a summary table of impacts, mitigation measures, and levels of significance before and after mitigation.
 Project Description. The Administrative Draft EIR will include the project description drafted for the project as part of Task 5.3.
 Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures. The existing setting information, impac t a
nalyses, and mitigation measures will be combined to create chapters describing environmental consequences for each CEQA-required topic.  Alternatives Evaluation. The alternatives evaluation chapter will include a tabular comparison of the alternatives impacts, and a qualitative comparison in adequa te d
etail to provide meaningful distinctions and conclusions.  CEQA-Mandated Sections. PlaceWorks will prepare assessment conclusions to meet CEQA Guidelines for the following mandatory findings:
 Cumulative Impacts
 Growth Inducement
 Unavoidable Significant Effects
 Significant Irreversible Changes
 Impacts Found Not to be Significant
 Organizations and Persons Consulted. This chapter will include agencies and persons contacted and literature reviewed.
 Report Preparers. This chapter will identify the consultants and staff who prepared the EIR.

Potential significant impacts anticipated to occur as a result of the proposed General Plan and Downtown Precise Plan will be mitigated to be less than significant as much as possible. In the event that potential significant impacts remain, new policies and programs will be proposed to further mitigate the potential impacts. PlaceWorks focus is to develop a “self-mitigating” plan to the greatest extent possible.

The Administrative Draft will be submitted to City staff for review and comment.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 20 SCHEDULE
With the stated completion date of December 2023, the project will require a consistent communication and reporting regime between the general plan managers, support staff, and consultants, including the EIR team. Certain aspects of the CEQA schedule will be dependent on the progress of the General Plan, as key details of the plans will be needed in order to develop a stable and finite Project Description and provide the parameters needed to guide the environmental analysis. In addition, the City may wish to align the release of certain planning documents with the release of certain CEQA documents.

If desired by the City, PlaceWorks will develop a project schedule using MS Project.

PlaceWorks will develop the CEQA schedule and input key milestones in the General Plan update processes. MS Project schedules clearly highlight the critical path for a project and facilitate easy sharing and update by individual task. Additionally, detailed subtasks can be “collapsed’ to generate less detailed project schedules for City personnel or decision makers who may not need or be interested in the minutiae of the project schedule and management. Note: Hours for this task are included in Task 1.5, General Plan Staff Assistance in the Cost Table.

PlaceWorks proposed schedule for completion of the Salinas General Plan EIR is shown in Figure 1. This schedule is intended to show the anticipated durations of the key tasks listed in this scope of work, including projected City staff review periods. The schedule does not reflect the corresponding General Plan tasks.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 22 CLIMATE ACTION PLAN

SCOPE OF SERVICES
The City will address climate vulnerability, adaptation, and resiliency as part of the General Plan. The PlaceWorks team will support City staff by preparing a climate change vulnerability assessment (scoped as part of the Environmental Impact Report) and supporting staff with development of climate adaptation and resiliency goals, policies, and implementation programs. Our support for adaptation policy development is included in Task 3 of this scope of work.

PlaceWorks understands the City will assume ownership of all reports, analyses, and documents prepared for the CAP by the PlaceWorks team.

Project Management

1.1 Kick-off Meeting and Review of Existing Documents
PlaceWorks will initiate the project by scheduling a project kick -off meeting to allow for a review of project goals, communication protocols, project schedule, work plan, data needs, and status of current and planned efforts that are relevant to the project. This discussion will establish the preferred methods for data collection and coordination. This meeting will establish the project management procedures, including invoicing terms and communication protocols.

In advance of the meeting, the PlaceWorks team will review key City plans and background information to assess and have a shared understanding of the City’s existing climate mitigation work. We anticipate reviewing the existing General Plan and CAP (including any updates or reviews), the City’s budget and capital improvement program, and other appropriate planning documents. We will also review the City’s past GHG emissions inventories, and other activity datasets.

As part of the kick -off meeting, PlaceWorks will review the City’s proposed approach to engaging City staff, advisory bodies and decision -makers, and community stakeholders in the preparation and review of the CAP and opportunities for the PlaceWorks Team to support outreach led by the City team.

1.2 Project Management and Check-in Meetings
Consistent and regular communication between City staff and the PlaceWorks team throughout the project will provide the opportunity for the project team to coordinate and keep the project moving forward on time and within budget. At the project kick -off meeting, we will establish a regular schedule for project check -in calls. We offer meeting flexibility to match project needs by conducting a mix of phone, in -person (dependent on DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 23 state, regional, and local public health orders and advisories), and web -based check- in meetings as appropriate to the task. Prior to each meeting, we will work with staff to draft an agenda, determine the most appropriate format, and identify the necessary participants to best meet the needs of each meeting.

1.3 General Plan Update and EIR Coordination with City staff and Consultants
PlaceWorks understands City staff will lead a comprehensive update of the General Plan with broad community engagement beginning this spring. The City is seeking consultant assistance with preparation of the CAP and Environmental Impact Report at this time.

Additional technical consultants could be engaged later. Based on our experience working on CAPs concurrent with General Plan Updates, we know that coordination and collaboration across the project teams will be critical to the success of all projects. As part of this task, we anticipate coordination with the larger General Plan and EIR team by phone and video conference throughout the project, averaging one call a month.

Deliverables:
 Kick-off meeting attendance (phone/video conference)
 Kick-off meeting agenda and summary (electronic, draft and final)  Participation in regular project coordination meetings (bi -weekly, phone/video conference).
 E-agendas and action item summaries for coordination meetings (electronic).  Monthly progress memos and invoices
 Coordinate calls/video conferences with the General Plan and EIR teams, monthly C ommunity Engagement Assistance

2.1 Support to City staff for Community Outreach and
Engagement
As noted in the RFP, City staff will be responsible for leading community engagement, including facilitation of the Climate Action Plan Subcommittee of stakeholders who will help steer the document. The City requests consultant assistance with creating presentations, materials for workshops, social media, surveys, and other engagement tools, and assisting with developing strategies to communicate the importance of climate action in a way that connects with the lived experience of the Salinas community.

We understand community outreach and engagement for the General Plan and CAP has initiated with the preparation of a Community Engagement Plan and that meetings of the General Plan Steering Committee and supporting committees could begin in April 2021 and continue throughout the planning process. Through this process the PlaceWorks team will partner to support ongoing education and information sharing with staff, advisory body members, elected officials, and community members in support of meaningful engagement and input to support preparation of the CAP goals and strategies. Our approach and budget will support a mix of engagement opportunities which we look forward to confirming with City staff. Our team has extensive experience with community outreach and engagement for General Plan updates and CAPs. Based on our experience and discussion with City staff, our scope and budget assume PlaceWorks will prepare DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 24 creative and engaging content for flyers, workboard posters, PowerPoint presentations, websites, and other engagement tools as requested by staff.

In our experience with similar plans, our team has found focused stakeholder engagement to be important to ensuring a climate action plan is implementation ready. Engaging business owners, employers, and other community partners early in the process supports development of strategies that build upon the community successes and lessons learned, leverage existing and potential programs that share CAP goals and/or co-benefits, reflects shared values, and ensures a collaborative approach to implemen tation. Types of stakeholders include representatives of developers, partner public agencies (transit operators, utilities, county agencies, etc.), environmental groups, community groups, and major employers. PlaceWorks can support focused stakeholder engagement in lieu of community-wide outreach events if requested by City staff.

City staff are an important stakeholder in the CAP preparation process as well. We recommend engagement of staff from all City departments during one or more phases of the project. It will be helpful to identify key staff in various departments to support strategy development and plan review. Staff will be on the front line of implementation and our experience has shown that effective implementation occurs when staff responsible have participated in designing and development of policies and strategies. Our approach to this scope of work assumes that the City’s CAP point of contact will facilitate staff engagement in key tasks, and at a minimum will review of work products produced by the PlaceWorks team. Tasks 3 and 4 note opportunities for meetings with staff as applicable.

Our budget for this task assumes 80 hours of PlaceWorks staff time. If City staff does not require 70 hours of assistance for engagement, this time can be redirected to other tasks or not billed. If the City requires additional support from the PlaceWorks team, it can be provided on a time-and- materials basis, from the contingency budget, at the direction of City staff. PlaceWorks will conduct this task as directed by City staff.

2.2 Attend Community Workshops and/or Meetings of the CAP Subcommittee, Advisory Body, and City Council
PlaceWorks will coordinate with staff to support information updates and presentations to the community, CAP Subcommittee, advisory bodies, and the City Council. We understand the City would like the consultant team to attend at least four community meetings, workshops, commission, or Council meetings.

Our budget for this task supports preparation for and in-person attendance of one member of the project management team at four meetings. The meetings will be determined by City staff. Cost for in-person attendance includes 3 – 4 hours of travel time from Berkeley or San Luis Obispo to Salinas (roundtrip), up to 4 hours for meeting participation, 2 - 4 hours of preparation, and 1 - 2 hours of de-brief or summary preparation for a total of 14 hours per meeting per person. These estimates are based on our extensive experience providing support to similar meetings during preparation of CAPs. If participation of PlaceWorks team members will be virtual rather than in-person, hours saved for travel can be applied to additional meeting support if desired by City staff. Support for additional meetings can be provided on time-and-materials basis, from the contingency budget, at the direction of City staff.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 25 2.3 Lead Community Climate Action Planning 101 Webinar PlaceWorks will coordinate with staff to support information updates and presentations to the community, including pr eparation and hosting of Climate Action and Adaptation Planning 101 Webinar (aka “CAP 101”). For the community “CAP 101” webinar, our team will modify the “CAP 101” training we provided to City staff in August 2020. We will ensure the content and approach is accessible to non -technical stakeholders. Our team has extensive experience presenting complex material simply and translating the content of GHG inventories and strategies into relatable day -to-day experiences. Our team also has experience organizing and leading citizen planning academies, planning commissioner trainings, and teaching college students, all experience that will inform our approach to presentations to the community, including the “CAP 101” webinar.

Our budget for this task includes preparation of PowerPoint slides, speaking notes, review with City staff, identification of community resources, and facilitation and presentation of the webinar. We assume three PlaceWorks staff will support the webinar series with content development and presentation. We are assuming up to four hours of webinar time, which could be presented as a half-day training or two sessions of 90 minutes to 120 minutes each. This is assumed to be a virtual training series and does not include travel time or in-person meeting attendance.

2.4 Support City staff with English to Spanish translation and interpretation
The City has been successful communicating with residents in English and Spanish and integrating a bilingual approach into its planning and community engagement proc esses.

The RFP notes that City staff could use support with English to Spanish translation and interpretation. Our project team includes bilingual staff able to support with translation of shorter deliverables, such as flyers, surveys, handouts, social media or website content, and conversation interpretation, including facilitation of small discussion groups, notetaking in Spanish, and similar activities (maximum 8 pages of content in one document). We look forward to talking with staff and identifying how our bilingual staff can support the City’s CAP and General Plan teams. Our team has experience with Spanish only meeting facilitation and communication as well as English to Spanish translation and interpretation.

Our budget for this task assumes 30 hour s of PlaceWorks staff time. If City staff does not require 32 hours of assistance for engagement, this time can be redirected to other tasks or not billed. If the City requires additional support from the PlaceWorks team, it can be provided on a time-and-m aterials basis, from the contingency budget, at the direction of City staff. PlaceWorks will conduct this task as directed by City staff.

Deliverables:
 Communication materials and content for website, workshops, and other activities as noted in Task 2.1.
 PowerPoint presentation, recording, and hosting of climate action and adaptation planning 101 webinar(s) for community as scoped in Task 2.3.  Support to staff with preparation of staff reports for CAP- related updates and presentations to the Planning Commis sion and City Council. Support to staff for preparation of resolutions for Planning Commission and City Council public hearings. (Up to two meetings)
DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 26  Presentations and attendance at four community meetings, workshops, or commission meetings, including one Steering Committee meeting and one Planning Commission meeting.
 Support to staff for preparation of content for public notices related to meetings PlaceWorks staff attend.
 Attendance and participation by the project manager or assistant project manager at public workshops or equivalent events, stakeholder meetings, staff meetings, advisory body meetings, and city council meetings and public hearings. Additional staffing for community workshops and similar events will respond to the budg et
f
or each activity. (Four meetings/events)
Additional Data Collection and Forecasting

3.1 Review and Update GHG Inventory and Forecasts
PlaceWorks had the opportunity to work with the City and the Institute for Local Government in 2020 to initiate preliminary activities of the CPA, including review of the existing inventories prepared by the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) for the years 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2017. The inventories are adequate for use as the foundation for the CAP and the General Plan, although for consistency with CEQA requirements, a recent year inventory will need to be used and expanded upon. The City’s inventories show a 21% decline in GHGs from 2005 to 2017. We anticipate taking the most recent year GHG inventory provided by AMBAG, ideally for 2019, and adding GHG emissions for off -road equipment, agriculture, and solid waste to ensure the GHG inventory can support the CAP and the General Plan EIR. In addition, the transportation numbers will be revised to use updated VMT figures generated from the best- available traffic model from the City’s selected transportation consultant for the General Plan. This work will include estimating GHG emissions from Salinas’ sphere of influence, extrapolating from the GHG emissions for the area within the city limits.

As part of our work with the City in 2020, PlaceWorks forecast GHGs from the most recent inventory year to 2030, 2040, and 2050. Our forecast relied on AMBAG’s projections for growth in population, households, and jobs through 2050. The forecast should be updated to incorporate any changes to the projections resulting from the update to the General Plan. This includes any change in GHG emissions that may occur from development on land currently outside of Salinas but which may become incorporated into the city through annexation. PlaceWorks will prepare a brief technical memo to summarize the inventories and forecasts.

3.2 Prepare GHG Reduction Targets
Based on the results of the inventory and forecast, PlaceWorks will identify options and present a recommendation for 2030, 2040, and 2050 GHG -reduction targets consistent with state law and guidance. Senate Bill 32 establishes a statewide GHG -reduction target of 40 percent below 1990 levels (comparable to 49 percent below 2005 levels). The state has established a goal of reducing emissions 80 percent below 1990 levels in Executive Order S-03-05 and reaffirmed this goal in Executive Order B-30-15 but has not yet codified it or any other post -2030 goal into law. We will also be mindful of revised or additional goals that may be established or codified by the State over the course of this project.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 27 The City has discretion to select its GHG reduction targets for a qualified GHG reduction strategy but must provide substantial evidence to support its targets. The PlaceWorks team will review options for the City, including a carbon -neutral target, and present those for consideration by staff and community stakeholders. The recommendation will compare the recommended targets against the results of the GHG inventories and forecast.

3.3 Identify and Quantify Existing and Planned Emission Reductions
As part of our work with the City in 2020, PlaceWorks estimated GHG reductions from four state programs (Renewables Portfolio Standard, Clean Car Standards, Building Standards Code changes, and zero emission bus standards) and the regional community choice energy program, Central Coast Community Energy.

As part of the CAP, PlaceWorks will expand quantification of the state and regional programs. This includes actions that have been implemented since 2018, as well as actions that have not yet begun but are planned for future years. We will look at projected short- term and long-term changes to 3CE’s energy portfolio and emissions factor as a part of this work. We will use the reductions from these existing and planned actions to better understand progress that Salinas has made toward future GHG -reduction targets and to identify the gap that remains to be closed by new and revised GHG -reduction strategies.

We will use the GHG reductions from these efforts as a foundation for developing additional GHG-reduction strategies.

3.4 Draft GHG-Reduction Strategies
PlaceWorks will work with City staff to prepare GHG -reduction strategies that create a comprehensive approach to reduce its GHG emissions to meet the City’s targets. All reduction strategies will be prepared consistent with the community’s desire for actionable and achievable GHG-reduction efforts. We expect that some of these reduction strategies will be informed by the General Plan Update and be revised to reflect achievements and new opportunities.

The new and updated strategies will advance emerging issues, such as increased fuel switching in the existing built environment and transportation sector, adoption of new renewable energy technologies, a robust move toward zero waste, significant advances in mobility technologies and behaviors, increased deployment of connected “internet of things” devices, and many other transformations. The PlaceWorks team will coordinate with City staff to review and integrate (as revised and applicable) feasible strategies presented in City plans and programs adopted or implemented since approval of the City’s CAP, and strategies implemented in CAPs adopted by other cities in the region.

Although we know that technology will advance beyond our assumptions, providing some uncertainty, we recognize that the intent of the CAP is to accelerate GHG reductions and to continue to serve as a qualified GHG -reduction strategy. As a result, the reduction strategies must continue the tradition of the adopted CAP and be actually implementable rather than a “concept” plan that demonstrates ambition but is of no practical use. The PlaceWorks team will, first and foremost, prepare GHG -reduction strategies that are achievable and realistic. These strategies will reflect the City’s land uses and building types, economic characteristics, community values, and opportunities to leverage the resources DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 28 of regional partners for implementation support. In addition to achieving short- term and long-term GHG reductions, we understand that these strategies can advance other community objectives, known as co -benefits. This includes GHG reduction strategies that also support increased resilience to climate change hazards.

We will prepare new and revised GHG strategies in coordination and collaboration with City staff. We will review the existing strategies with staff, using a questionnaire and facilitated discussion, to provide staff an opportunity to share the City’s experience with implementation and perceived effectiveness of each strategy. We will meet with staff virtually to identify issues and brainstorm new reduction strategies. As a part of this effort, we will allow City staff to view different levels of implementation for each strategy, supporting efforts to achieve the greatest level of GHG reductions while remaining feasible and appropriate for Salinas.

For all sectors and topics, the PlaceWorks team will present a matrix of draft strategies to City staff for review. The initial draft list will include the following information:
 A description of the strategy and brief list of potential implementation actions,  The range of GHG-reduction potential (i.e., high, medium, and low)  Applicability (i.e., City facilities, City operations, existing development, new development),
 Strategy type or category (i.e., operational, programmatic, plans, regulations and policies, capital projects, education/outreach/coordination, partnerships, and other types identified by the project team),
 Co-benefits,
 Level of implementation (i.e., voluntary or mandatory), and  Performance indicators and/or metrics.

3.5 Quantify GHG-Reduction Strategies
After we have developed the GHG-reduction strategies and confirmed them with City staff, we will quantify the GHG-reduction potential for the years 2030, 2040, and 2050. We will use case studies, peer -reviewed scientific applications, state guidance documents, and other verified sources to inform these calculations, ensuring a high level of accuracy. All calculations will be performed in an Excel workbook, providing greater transparency and ease of use. Methods and assumptions will be clearly documented, and all sources will be laid out, allowing others to replicate the calculations and verify their accuracy. We anticipate that some of these calculations will use similar methods as the adopted CAP, as long as the methods remain accurate and appropriate. All calculations will provide the GHG-reduction potential, the level of participation under the identified performance indicator, and all associated resource savings (e.g., reductions in kilowatt- hours [kWh] of electricity used or a decrease in tons of waste generated).

PlaceWorks knows that the City must be able to effectively implement and easily track all strategies in the CAP. All strategies will have performance indicators that will allow the City to keep a record of progress. We will develop these performance indicators along with the strategy language itself, creating a clear connection between the strategies and their associated metrics. We will also ensure that the number of indicators is kept as short as possible while allowing for effective tracking, helping to minimize additional work for City staff.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 29 We recommend meeting with staff to review the results and presentation of the draft strategies and their quantification prior to preparation of the Administrative Draft CAP.

Deliverables:
 Review/update (if necessary) GHG Inventory (electronic, final)  Inventory and Forecast Workbook (electronic, final)
 Memo summary of inventory forecast results and target setting (electronic, draft and final)
 Refined forecasts/targets aligning with General Plan Update  Memo summary of existing strategy reductions (electronic, draft and final)  Quantification Workbook (electronic, final)
 Meeting with City staff to review deliverables (phone/videoconference)  Meetings with City staff to review and discuss draft strategies. (phone/videoconference[s])
 List of draft GHG-reduction strategies (electronic, draft and final)

3.6 Support Climate Adaptation Strategies
PlaceWorks will provide support to City staff to draft climate adaptation strategies that will improve community resilience to climate change-related hazards. These strategies should respond to issues identified in the Salinas Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment, as well as other adaptation issues of concern to the community. We will translate the results of the Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment into policy topics for City staff, provide strategy examples and resources as requested, and review and comment on draft adaptation strategies.

PlaceWorks expects that these climate adaptation strategies drafted by City staff will be incorporated into the General Plan Safety Element as appropriate to help meet the requirements of the California Government Code Section 65302(g)(4). While the City’s adaptation strategies may go beyond these requirements, they represent the baseline issues that the adaptation strategies should respond to. We anticipate looking to guidance in the California Adaptation Planning Guide , the Safeguarding California plan, and other resources as appropriate when helping City staff to refine these strategies.

Deliverables:
 Resources and examples for climate adaptation strategies (electronic, as needed)  Comments on draft climate adaptation strategies (electronic)  Meeting with City staff to review and discuss draft adaptation strategies (phone/videoconference)
Draft Climate Action Plan

4.1 Prepare Administrative Draft CAP
After completing the technical analyses, PlaceWorks will prepare an administrative draft CAP. The CAP will present summaries of the technical analyses, the GHG mitigation strategies, and an implementation program. Prior to drafting the CAP, we will collaborate with City staff to identify an outline that meets requirements for the CAP as confirmed by City staff, members of the public, commissions, and City Council. We will also prepare a document template in Word that supports a graphically rich presentation of information.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 30 We will develop GHG reduction efforts to achieve community -wide co -benefits and a transition to a just, sustainable and modern community that supports green jobs and new businesses, saving community members money, increasing resilience, improving public health, and making it easier for all people to get around.

PlaceWorks will prepare a plan outline prior to preparation of the CAP document itself.

This outline will provid e a more detailed overview of the main sections of the CAP, as revised through the community engagement process and discussions with City staff. For the scoping purposes, we anticipate that the CAP will include the following sections:
 An executive summary.
 An introduction to the local, state, and federal regulatory frameworks that GHG reduction and climate adaptation efforts operate under. This will include a discussion of “qualified” GHG reduction strategies consistent with CEQA Guidelines.
 A discussion of how the CAP was developed.
 A summary of Salinas’ updated and new GHG inventories and forecasts.  Presentation and discussion of Salinas’ GHG reduction targets and how they are consistent with state efforts.
 A summary of climate change science, the climate hazards likely to affect Salinas , and populations and assets most likely to be affected. This content will b e
c
oordinated with the General Plan team for consistency.
 The City’s path to achieving its GHG-reduction targets. This will include a discussion of the City’s reduction targets, each GHG -reduction strategy, the implementation actions and performance metrics associated with it, and the co -benefits that it achieves. We will also include a discussion of the existing and planned efforts in this section.
 Climate adaptation strategies, which will include the relevant hazards, th e
p
opulations and assets protected by the strategy, and other details associated with strategy implementation.
 Implementation and moni toring of the GHG reduction and climate adaptation strategies, which will go over timeframes, responsible parties or agencies, applicability (e.g., City facilities, communities, new development, existing structures, etc.), and potential funding sources as appropriate.  CAP Consistency Checklist for use by discretionary projects. PlaceWorks will prepare a CAP Consistency Checklist (Checklist) for use by projects subject to discretionary review. The checklist will include the CAP’s GHG-reduction strategies and any climate adaptation strategies applicable to new and existing development.

The checklist helps project applicants to clearly understand the CAP -relate d
s
trategies that they must implement as well as those that are encouraged but not required. This resource allows City staff to easily track how development projects are integrating applicable GHG-reduction strategies into their projects through the design process and/or as mitigation strategies. It also supports the City in tracking implementation of these strategies on a regular basis in support of more detailed and accurate CAP progress reports.
 A glossary and list of abbreviations.
 Any technical memos or other write-ups may be attached to the CAP document as appendices, though all memos will be prepared with incorporation into the CAP in mind.

We will ensure that the CAP is graphically rich, easy to read, and visually engaging. As a part of developing the document, we will meet with City staff to confirm preferences for DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 31 the look and feel of the CAP. This includes confirming font types and styles, colors, layout, images, graphic types, and other design style elements. PlaceWorks is also aware that the CAP must be accessible to persons using assistive technologies and will prepare the CAP to meet these requirements.

4.2 Prepare Public Review Draft CAP
Following the review of the administrative draft CAP by key City staff and receipt of staff comments, PlaceWorks will incorporate any revisions into a public draft version of the document. We anticipate receiving a single consolidated set of comments that incorporate all feedback received from City staff. PlaceWorks will provide a screencheck version of the CAP for City staff to review and confirm that all revisions have been made. After making any changes as needed to the screencheck version, we will prepare a draft of the CAP for public review.

City staff will be responsible for promoting and noticing the availability of the public review draft CAP and collecting public comments and questions. PlaceWorks will supp ort presentation of the public review draft CAP to advisory bodies and City Council as indicated in Task 2. We will support City staff with preparation of staff reports and PowerPoint presentations and presentation of the material.

4.3 Prepare Public Review Draft CAP in Adobe InDesign
Template (Optional)
If requested by the City, PlaceWorks’ Graphic Design team will format the Public Review Draft CAP using InDesign. As noted in Task 4.1, PlaceWorks will prepare an outline and Word document template in coordination with City staff prior to preparation of the content. If the City intends to convert the CAP to InDesign, it will be helpful to know this prior to preparation of the Word template to ensure the most efficient transition. Our Graphic Design and Production Team has extensive experience designing graphically rich documents in InDesign. This task would include a meeting with City staff to confirm preferences for look- and-feel, layout, colors, images, font, and other design details. Our graphic designer would then prepare a template for City staff approval. Following approval, our graphic designer will format all content. This is an optional task.

Deliverables:
 Outline (electronic, draft and final)
 Word Document Template (electronic, draft and final)
 Administrative draft (including text and graphics, electronic, Word)  Track Changes version of Administrative Draft CAP with responses to comments (electronic, Word)
 Screencheck Public Review Draft (electronic, Word)
 InDesign Template (optional)
 InDesign version of Public Review Draft CAP (optional) DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 32 Public Review Draft (electronic, Word) Final Climate Action Plan

5.1 Prepare Final CAP
After receiving a single, consolidated set of comments from City staff that document any edits to the Final CAP based on direction from the City Council, PlaceWorks will prepare a final CAP. The Final CAP will include a reference to the adopting resolution and include it as an appendix.

5.2 Prepare Final CAP in Adobe InDesign Template (Optional) If requested by the City as part of Task 4, PlaceWorks’ Graphic Design team will revise the Public Review Draft CAP and prepare the Final CAP using InDesign. This is an optional task.

Deliverables:
 Track Changes version of Public Review Draft CAP with responses to comments (electronic, Word)
 Final Climate Action Plan (electronic, Word)
 Editable versions of figures, maps, graphics, etc.
 Final Climate Action Plan in InDesign with all supporting files (electronic) DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E34959-3A23-4C3B-9A44-08B6C426A6A0 33 SCHEDULE
PlaceWorks proposed schedule for completion of the CAP is shown in Figure 2. As shown in the schedule, we anticipate that the project can be completed by Fall 2022. We believe this schedule is in keeping with your needs, but we are happy to revise this schedule if necessary. We understand the City’s request for a detailed project schedule that indicates timing of milestones and key deliverables as well as meetings. Since the CAP will be dependent on key parts of the General Plan Update process, we recommend reviewing and confirming a detailed schedule with City staff during contract negotiations or as part of project initiation.
