COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JANUARY 23, 2024
DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
FROM: LISA BRINTON, DIRECTOR
WITH: ANGELINE ANZINI, CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL

YAZMIN OCHOA-FLORES, ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST
TITLE: 2023 PERMIT CENTER ANNUAL REPORT
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to accept the 2023 Permit Center Annual Report. No further action required.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The 2023 Annual Report covers the past calendar year and consists of this staff report and the attached 2023 Performance Measures Dashboard. The staff report discusses the findings and recommendations of the 2023 Community Development Department Organizational Assessment and Permit Services staffing needs, analyzes key performance measure data, highlights current and future development projects, provides a Project Dox implementation update, and shares customer service survey feedback. The Dashboard presents the performance measure data visually and shows year over year comparisons for Permit Services, Current Planning, Code Enforcement, Economic Development (Small Business Support), Development Engineering and Fire, which are integral to Permit Center activities and processes.

BACKGROUND:
2023 Organizational Assessment
Upon appointment as Community Development Director in May 2023, I identified the need to revisit organizational structure, refine and develop policies, and formalize workflow between divisions and departments to increase productivity and improve customer service at the Permit Center. Working with Human Resources, Municipal Resource Group, LLC was hired to assist with an organization, policy, and workflow assessment, focusing on Permit Services functions. In August and September 2023, MRG reviewed the Department’s organizational chart and existing Permit Services workflow/procedure documents and conducted confidential interviews with 14 staff and three members of the Business Development Committee. The Organizational Assessment Report made the following findings and recommendations.

Page | 2
Findings:

1. There is a need for increased staffing. Permit Services staffing resources are low for a city the size of Salinas and the volume of Permit Center activity.

2. There is confusion between Community Development divisions regarding roles, responsibilities, and Permit Services/Center activity workflow. Formalized department and workflow policies and procedures are needed.

3. Intra-departmental working relationships and communications are strained. This effects morale, efficiency, and customer service.

4. There is a lack of leadership and a need for team building. Permit Services management and Chief Building Official positions were vacant since 2018.

Recommendations:

1. Increase Permit Services staffing resources.

2. Update job descriptions and create Flex Positions (Level I/II) to provide flexibility in hiring and promotional opportunities.

3. Establish a centralized location for manuals, policies, procedures, and checklists to clarify roles and responsibilities.

4. Add an Assistant Community Development Director position to oversee Community Development Permit Center functions.

Actions taken in 2023:

1. Updated job descriptions for Permit Clerk, Senior Plan Check Engineer, Plan Check Engineer, and Combo I/II Building Inspector positions.

2. Established a centralized location for manuals, policies, procedures, and checklists.

3. Formalized an agenda and performance data template that is reviewed during weekly Permit Services division meetings and bi-weekly during Permit Center coordination meetings to facilitate discussion of workflow and application review issues.

4. Recruited and hired a Chief Building Official (September 2023) and an Assistant Community Development Director (Acceptance December 2023; start date January 2024).

Next steps are discussed later in this report in the 2024 Priorities section.

Staffing
The Permit Services Division has several position vacancies that directly and significantly affect the permitting process. Current position vacancies include an Administrative Analyst, Front Counter “Greeters”, a Senior Plan Check Engineer, a Plan Check Engineer, and two Combination Building Inspector I. Due to limited staffing resources and position vacancies, additional outside professional services are needed to review, process, and inspect permit applications in a timely manner. In November 2023, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for Professional Services with CSG to increase total compensation to $750,000 to address Plan Review and Inspection staffing shortfalls and the current increase in workload. In addition to filling the above vacancies, additional staffing and/or consultant resources will be required as the volume of Permit Center activities will increase exponentially in 2024 as applications are submitted for Future Growth Area development. More detail regarding anticipated timing and volume of applications is provided in the Major Projects - Current and Future section below.

2023 Dashboard Summary
The table below shows key performance measures of Permit Services functions. The 2023 Performance Measure Dashboard, provided as an attachment to this report, presents the data visually and shows year over year comparisons. Performance Measure data for other Community Development divisions and City departments (Current Planning, Code Enforcement, Economic Development – Small Business Support, Development Engineering, and Fire) is also provided in the Dashboard, as they are integral to Permit Center activities and processes.

Table 1: 2023 Permit Services Performance Measures
There are several noteworthy items on above table related to Permit Services administration, plan review and inspections. Admin staff were down a Permit Technician during Quarters 2 and 3 resulting in an application intake backlog. In addition, limited-term and temporary Community Outreach Assistants responsible for customer service the counter resigned in Quarter 4 for other employment opportunities, making it challenging to staff the counter and phones. Plan Review lost both Senior Plan Check Engineers in Quarter 3 leading to an increase in average review times.

Many plan reviews were shifted to consultants (CSG) in Quarter 4, but the review times increased and percentage of on time reviews dropped significantly because CSG is unable to provide the same level of service as an in-house reviewer. These plan review trends will likely continue in 2024 until vacancies have been filled and new hires are trained. Traditional and virtual building inspections both increased throughout the year. Workload was managed by allowing more virtual inspections and bringing in consultant staffing to help with two inspector vacancies which opened in Quarter 4. State law AB2234, effective January 1, 2024, requires residential building permit applicants to be notified of application incompleteness within 30 days of submittal. Performance data for this requirement will be reported on in next year’s annual report for administrative staff.

Major Projects - Current and Future
Large projects completed in 2023 include the fire damage reconstruction of the agricultural facility at 1207 Abbott Street, four mixed use buildings at 400 and 500 Abbott Street containing 40,000 square feet of commercial space and 110 residential units, a tenant improvement at 1050 North Davis Road for Vallarta Supermarkets, Salinas Valley Health medical offices at 212 San Jose Street and new parking garage at 450 East Romie Lane (Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital).

Highlights of permits under review or construction include a tenant improvement for Kaiser Permanente Medical Offices at 1930 North Davis Road, the Transportation Agency of Monterey County Commuter Rail Extension at 20 New Street, and an office and warehouse expansion for Quinn Cat at 1300 Abbott Street. Building permits go through plan review and inspection to ensure high quality construction and the safety of the building occupants. This construction is a direct investment in our community. Ease of permitting for commercial spaces encourages a diverse and thriving economy, and supports small, large, and entrepreneurial businesses in the City.

Use of Technology
In February of 2023 the Permit Services Division launched its Paperless Permit Portal allowing permits to be applied for, completed, and stored in a system available to the public through their internet browser. Applicants can complete an application, submit payment, move through the review process, and receive permits from a remote location any time of day.

With the launch of the Paperless Permits Portal, staff focused on education and training by refining user guides, videos, and hosting two community webinars, attended by approximately 120 community members. Currently these educational materials are being translated into Spanish.

Overall, the response to the shift to the online portal has been positive. Technology savvy design professionals embraced the new system immediately. However, on extremely large projects, professionals and staff have had to work together to coordinate the uploading and labeling of the large quantity of files submitted. Applicants who struggle with the portal are homeowners and small business owners, who are frequently onetime users and unfamiliar with the building permit process or individuals with limited computer access and proficiency having trouble navigating the system. To help these customers a phone line and dedicated email were created. Staff also are available to walk applicants through the process in person at the Permit Center counter.

Internally, many staff members have welcomed the automation Paperless Permit provides. Other benefits include a more streamlined review and approval process, but some staff struggle to learn the new workflows and features of the system. Enthusiastic adopters provide weekly training to share tips with each other, help staff who have run into issues and education new users about what the system has to offer. Employees with time sensitive issues frequently get help from the staff that man the Paperless Permit phone line and email.

Virtual inspections, which are only possible for uniform types of inspections, have been successful.

The virtual inspection process requires the applicant to follow specific steps to show their work is compliant with the Building Codes. Applicants can document and share completed work via email any time of day rather than schedule and wait for a site inspection. Virtual inspections also save staff time by eliminating the need to travel to the site, which allows inspectors to work more efficiently. Future goals include refining and formalizing procedures, expanding the types of inspections allowed, and collecting customer feedback on the process.

Customer Service
During 2023, the Permit Center served 5,889 individuals in person. These individuals included 43 customers coming in for Small Business Support to 2,067 customers who received assistance from Permit Technicians. On average staff served 491 customers per month at the Permit Center counter with the highest volume of customer during the month of September (589). Each customer received a text after their appointment asking for customer service feedback. Five percent (5%) of customers (279) responded to the Customer Feedback Survey in 2023, 92% of which stated the service received at the Permit Center met or exceeded their expectations.

In May 2023, Permit Center staff partnered with the Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce and other city departments to host a Permit Center mixer. Divisions and departments shared the importance of obtaining the correct permits and information about their division functions, requirements, and processes through interactive displays. The event was well received by the approximately 100 attendees.
2024 Priorities
In 2023 staff prioritized the Organizational Assessment’s recommendation to establish an Assistant Community Development Director (ACDD) position to oversee Community Development Permit Center functions. The recruitment process has been completed and David Gonzalves was offered and accepted the ACDD position effective January 23, 2024.

In 2024, ACDD priorities will be centered around developing an action plan to address Assessment findings and recommendations. Key Action Plan components will be 1) addressing staffing resource needs, 2) formalizing workflow, and 3) compliance with numerous new state mandates related to permit processing. Staffing action steps will focus on working with Human Resources to fill critical vacant positions and developing and implementing a staffing and consultant augmentation plan to address the anticipated increase in volume from Future Growth Area (FGA) development and building permit applications. Submittals are expected to begin late in Quarter 1 of 2024. Over many phases, West and Central Areas of the FGA will construct between 6,827 and 8,251 residential units and 1,061,200 square feet of commercial space. The permitting work for these future growth areas more than quintuples the average number of building permits processed by the Permit Center in a single year. In 2024, additional Administrative, Plan Review and Inspection staffing and/or consultant support will be needed by all divisions.

The state legislature is creating large quantities of new laws which impact the development, construction, and permitting requirements. Many of these laws require the creation of new processes, the development and purchase of technology, and education of the public. In addition to the regular triennial California Building Code adoption on January 1, 2023, the Permit Center is working to comply with the following recently chaptered laws:
 AB 42 Tiny homes: temporary sleeping cabins: fire sprinkler requirements  AB1046 Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act: exemptions  AB 1132 Solar energy systems: permit fees.
 AB 1332 Accessory dwelling units: preapproved plans

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that this administrative report is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Permit Center operations support City Council 2022-2025 Goals and Strategies of Economic Development and Housing/Affordable Housing through the entitlement and permitting of commercial and residential uses that generate jobs, revenue, and a variety of housing types for the community. Continuous focus on workflow improvements and the use of technology for electronic application submission, review, and permit issuance furthers the Council’s goal of Effective and Culturally Responsive Government.

DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

Permit Center operations span multiple Community Development divisions and City departments including Permit Services, Current Planning, Code Enforcement, Economic Development (Small Business Support), Development Engineering, Fire, and Finance. Effective coordination of all Permit Center functions is vital to streamline permitting processes and provide quality customer service. In 2023, staff met regularly with the Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce Business Development Committee to discuss customer feedback surveys, performance data measures and Permit Center coordination efforts, Paperless Permit launch and implementation, and other areas of support. In November 2023, an annual report template and key performance data was shared with the BDC and was well received. Staff incorporated BDC feedback into the final Dashboard.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this administrative report. The Permit Services Division is an Enterprise Fund (6900). Fees for service and surcharges are collected to cover cost of operations.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JANUARY 9, 2024
DEPARTMENT: ADMINISTRATION
FROM: KIMBLEY CRAIG, MAYOR
BY: PATRICIA M. BARAJAS, CITY CLERK
TITLE: CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEES/REGIONAL BOARD

APPOINTMENTS
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

Approve the committees/regional board appointments for 2024.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Annually, and following an election, the Mayor is required to make appointments to the City Council subcommittees and regional boards on which the City is represented. In January 2023, the City Council directed staff to annually ratify the appointments by action of the Council. This report is intended to present the City Council with the list of appointments for ratification. Appointment shall be made during the first meeting in January to ensure timely appointments and representation on all boards and committees.

BACKGROUND:

On January 10, 2023, the City Council requested the Mayor’s appointments to City Committees/Regional Board be ratified by the Council annually. Pursuant to Salinas City Code Section 2-1, Rule 2(c), the Mayor may make appointments to the Council Subcommittees and Regional Boards upon assuming office at a City Council meeting. Additionally, Section A.3 of the City Council Rules of Procedure and Order of Business, City Council Resolution 20742, also allows the Mayor to appoint City Council members to regional board or other legislative bodies on which the City Council is represented. Practice has been for the Mayor to consult with Councilmembers before making any changes in appointments.

On December 2022, Councilmembers Sandoval and Rocha further requested Council consider changes to Salinas Municipal Code and the City Council Rules of Procedure and Order of Business as they relate to the Mayor’s appointment authority, City Council meeting time, and the reestablishment of the Council Rules/Decorum Committee. The Council Rules/Decorum Committee comprised of Councilmember McShane and Sandoval met in the Spring of 2023 and recommended such changes which may only be done by an amendment to the Municipal Code and Page | 2
Resolution 20742. The Committee’s recommended changes will be scheduled for future Council consideration and will depend on the timing of any follow-up to City Council Strategic Planning process or as an independent Consideration item at an upcoming regular session of Council. Said item would also focus on Council norms and decorum.

Attached are the recommended appointments for 2024 as presented by Mayor Craig for Council approval. Also attached is Exhibit C – Regional Board Compensation and Exhibit D – Regional Board Attendance for reference.

CITY OF SALINAS

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JANUARY 23, 2024
DEPARTMENT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
FROM: LISA BRINTON, DIRECTOR
THROUGH: GRANT LEONARD, PLANNING MANAGER
BY: MONICA GURMILAN, SENIOR PLANNER
TITLE: AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES WITH

PLACEWORKS, INC FOR THE PREPERATION OF THE EAST

AREA SPECIFIC PLAN
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

A motion to approve a resolution authorizing the Interim City Manager to enter into an Agreement for Professional Services (Agreement) between the City of Salinas and Placeworks, Inc to prepare the East Area Specific Plan for an amount not to exceed $1,000,000.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Approval of the Agreement with Placeworks will allow the City to prepare and process a specific plan to streamline and guide development in the East Area of the North of Boronda Future Growth Area. The East Area Specific Plan (EASP) land use will include residential and commercial, parks and community facilities, and other public uses. The not to exceed contract amount is $1,000,000 and the schedule anticipates completion of the East Area Specific Plan for City Council consideration by September of 2025. The term of the Agreement is through December 31, 2025.

BACKGROUND:

The Future Growth Area (FGA) is located generally north of Boronda Road, west of Williams Road, east of San Juan Grade Road and south of Rogge Road (Attachment 6). Policy LU-4 of the Salinas General Plan requires the preparation of a specific plan(s) prior to the development of the North of Boronda FGA. The FGA is divided into four specific plan areas:
 The Gateway Specific Plan (2011)
 The West Area Specific Plan (2019)
 The Central Area Specific Plan (2020)
 The East Area Specific Plan
Page | 2
An East Area Specific Plan (EASP) was initiated in the early to mid-2000s but did not move forward due to the economic downturn in 2008.

Specific Plan Benefits
A specific plan establishes the overall land use concept and development framework for an identified planning area (Plan Area). The specific plan development process involves planning, environmental, financial, and engineering analysis; public comment and contribution; developing a document (Specific Plan) that will guide the future development of the Specific Plan Area; and subsequent implementation measures recommended by the Specific Plan. The contents of the Specific Plan reflect the physical characteristics of the Plan Area, as well as the City’s goals for land use change in general and for the Plan Area in particular. The Specific Plan is a blueprint that provides a bridge between the Salinas General Plan and applications for individual development permits within the Specific Plan Area. Topics covered in the Specific Plan include:
 Land use and zoning designations,
 Development regulations and design standards and policies,  Mobility and circulation,
 Public services and utilities,
 Resource conservation,
 Infrastructure and financing requirements; and
 Implementation and administrative processes.

Connection to Visión Salinas 2040
The City is nearing completion of the Visión Salinas 2040 General Plan Update, with a draft anticipated to be released in the Spring of 2024. The East Area Specific Plan will be developed to be consistent with the vision, goals, and policies included in the Visión Salinas 2040 General Plan Update. Initiating the East Area Specific Plan now will allow the City to leverage work already being completed for the Visión Salinas 2040 General Plan Update, such as:
 Background and existing conditions reports
 California Environmental Quality Act analysis
 Community engagement activities
Consultant Section Process
Staff prepared a Request for Proposals for planning and entitlement services for the East Area Specific Plan in the summer of 2023. The Request for Proposals was released to the City’s on-call list for Advanced Planning and Current Planning services on September 8, 2023. Two (2) consultant firms submitted proposals by the deadline of October 20, 2023:
 EMC Planning Group
 Placeworks
Both firms have completed projects for the City previously, and both firms are currently working on different City planning efforts. EMC Planning Group is currently supporting the Ferrasci Page | 3
Business Park Specific Plan, while Placeworks is currently supporting the Visión Salinas 2040 General Plan Update and the City’s Climate Action Plan. Both firms are highly qualified with detailed knowledge of the City and its planning needs.

The selection process included an evaluation of written proposals, virtual panel interviews and reference checks. Each proposal was scored out of 100 possible points with the average score determining the top ranking. Written evaluation criteria focused on project understanding, firm qualifications, team qualifications, track record, client references and completeness and quality of proposal. The evaluation panel for the written proposal and the virtual interviews consisted of City staff from the Community Development Department and the Public Works Department. Virtual interviews were held on November 9, 2023. Firms were asked to prepare a short presentation based on their proposal and responded to curated questions from the panel. Interview scoring criteria focused on presentation quality, experience with projects of a similar scale, understanding of City needs, sustainability, infrastructure concerns, potential challenges, and implementation.

Based on the rating and ranking process, Placeworks, was selected as the recommended consultant.

Next Step
Following execution of the Agreement for Professional Services (Attachment 2), staff will initiate the planning and community outreach process, as outlined in Placeworks’ proposal (Attachment 5). It is anticipated that the East Area Specific Plan will be completed by September 2025.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:

Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).

In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:

Professional services are needed to develop the East Area Specific Plan. Development of land uses identified in the EASP (residential, commercial and community serving public) and implementation of the infrastructure plan will further the City Councils 2022-2025 Goals and Strategies of Economic Development, Housing/Affordable Housing, Infrastructure and Environmental Sustainability.

Page | 4
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:

This EASP preparation include an active participation and collaboration from Community Development, and Public Works with supporting efforts from Library and Community Services, Fire and Police.

FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

Funding for the first year of the Agreement with Placeworks is available and appropriated in 2513.30.3328-63.5900. This is a multi-year contract, with work and expenditures occurring over three fiscal years. On March 7, 2023, City Council authorized CIP Budget transfer to the Operating Budget and established the East Area Specific Plan Fund 3328. In FY 23-24, $350,000 was appropriated for the East Area Specific Plan. Additional budget for this project will be recommended for appropriation in the preparation of future budgets. Potential funding sources include planning grants, developer fees, and the General Plan/Zoning maintenance fee (General Plan Fund 3701). No General Funds are anticipated for this contract.

(A) Assist Consultant by placing at its disposal all available information pertinent to the projects, including but not limited to, previous reports and any other data relative to the projects. Nothing contained herein shall obligate City to incur any expense in connection with completion of studies or acquisition of information not otherwise in the possession of City. (B) Examine all studies, reports, sketches, drawings, specifications, proposals, and other documents presented by Consultant, and render verbally or in writing as may be appropriate, decisions pertaining thereto within a reasonable time so as not to delay the services of Consultant.

Where the law establishes a professional standard of care for Consultant’s services, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless City and any and all of its officials, employees, and agents (“Professionally Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liability (including liability for claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged or threatened, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, court costs, interest, defense costs, and expert witness fees) to the extent they arise out of, are a consequence of, or are in any way attributable to, in whole or in part, any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission of Consultant, or by any individual or entity for which Consultant is legally liable.

Title to all final documents, including drawings, specifications, data, reports, summaries, correspondence, photographs, computer software (if purchased on the City’s behalf), video and audio tapes, software output, and any other materials with respect to work performed under this Agreement shall vest with City at such time as City has compensated Consultant, as provided herein, for the services rendered by Consultant in connection with which they were prepared. City agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the Consultant against all damages, claims, lawsuits, and losses of any kind including defense costs arising out of any use of said documents, drawings, and/or specifications on any other project without written authorization of the Consultant.

Exhibit A- Insurance Requirements
Insurance Requirements
Consultant shall procure and maintain for the duration of the Agreement insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the Consultant, his agents, representatives, employees, or subcontractors.

If the Consultant maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City of Salinas requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

OTHER INSURANCE PROVISIONS
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

Additional Insured Status
The City of Salinas, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the Consultant including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.

Primary Coverage
For any claims related to this Agreement or the project described within this Agreement, the Consultant’s insurance coverage shall be primary coverage at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Consultant’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.

Notice of Cancellation
Each insurance policy required above shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to the City.

Waiver of Subrogation
Consultant hereby grants to City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Consultant may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

Consultant agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the City has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer.

The Workers’ Compensation policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City of Salinas for all work performed by the Consultant, its employees, agents, and subcontractors.

Self-Insured Retentions
Self-insured retentions must be declared by Consultant to and approved by the City. At the option of the City, Consultant shall provide coverage to reduce or eliminate such self-insured retentions as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers; or the consultant shall provide evidence satisfactory to the City guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administrations, and defense expenses. The policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or City.

January 2024
Verification of Coverage
Consultant shall furnish the City with original certificates and amendatory endorsements or copies of the applicable insurance language effecting coverage required by this Agreement. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive the Consultant’s obligation to provide them. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time.

Subcontractors
Consultant shall require and verify that all sub-consultants and/or subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated herein, and Consultant shall ensure that Entity is an additional insured on insurance required from such sub-consultants and/or subcontractors.

Special Risks or Circumstances
City reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

Exhibit B- Scope of Service
City of Salinas • East Area Specific Plan 1

SCOPE OF WORK
This chapter describes the scope of services to be completed by the PlaceWorks team for the Salinas EASP.

To facilitate your review of this proposal, we have prepared a concise scope that emphasizes key components of our approach to this project.

We are flexible regarding the proposed scope of work and will work with you to prepare a more detailed scope when we enter into a contract. We also recognize that it may be necessary to alter the scope as the project progresses and would be happy to work with you to ensure the successful completion of the project.

Task 1. Project Kick-off, Coordination, and Management
This task will kick off the project and provide management to ensure the project stays on schedule and on budget.

1.1 Kick-off Meeting
The PlaceWorks team, including Rick Engineering, will coordinate a kick-off meeting with City staff to review project goals, roles, communication protocols, project schedule, work plan, data needs, concerns/issues, and the status of current and planned efforts that are relevant to the project. This meeting will establish the project management procedures, including invoicing terms and communication protocols, and data collection approach. We will also confirm the Specific Plan area boundary (Plan Area), which we assume will be similar to that shown on page 32 of the request for proposals (RFP). In advance of this meeting, the PlaceWorks team will prepare a data request document and detailed work program, including a schedule/timeline for the completion of each task, for review by the project team at the meeting. After the kick-off meeting, PlaceWorks will refine the project scope of work and schedule as needed to reflect desired project goals. We assume this meeting will be held online.

1.2 Project Status Meetings
PlaceWorks will participate in regular status update meetings with City staff to ensure the project remains on task and budget. These meetings will be conducted virtually, via Zoom or by phone, and other team members will attend as needed. Prior to each meeting, we will work with City staff to determine the most appropriate meeting format and identify the necessary participants. PlaceWorks will share a meeting summary with action items following each meeting. We recommend and have scoped for bi-weekly meetings. The length of each meeting will vary depending on the phase and the agenda, but for the purposes of this scope of work, we have assumed that meetings will average one hour each. PlaceWorks will also participate in periodic phone calls with the City’s Project Manager (upon the initiation of either party) on an as-needed basis to address any issues that arise between project team meetings. 2 PLACEWORKS

City of Salinas • East Area Specific Plan 3
» Detailed budget tracking document
» Bi-weekly meeting notes
» Project Management: Monthly invoices and progress reports; Management of subcontract agreements Task 2. Preparation of Specific Plan
This task will consist of data collection, analysis, and report writing related to preparation of the Specific Plan.

2.1 Area Profile/Existing Conditions Report
The PlaceWorks team will analyze the existing conditions that will influence the Plan Area and will complete an analysis of opportunities and constraints based on our findings. PlaceWorks will gather relevant background information/documents relating to the development of the EASP. The existing conditions analysis will be summarized in a memorandum that will include the following:
 Base Map: Using GIS data supplied by the City, PlaceWorks will develop an electronic base map for the Plan Area that will serve as the basis of plan development during the project.  Demographics: PlaceWorks will conduct a demographic scan of the Plan Area and will compare local data to Monterey County and the State. We will analyze population and household demographics within the Plan Area and employment trends by sector. The review will include income levels, ethnicity, age levels, educational attainment, employment, transportation preferences, disabilities, and other factors.  Land Use and Character: PlaceWorks will conduct a land use and character analysis, creating a baseline from which ideas for future development will be based. For this task, PlaceWorks will document the urban design and built form in the Plan Area, including existing and surrounding land uses, commercial and residential focus areas, key nodes, open spaces, cultural institutions, destinations, and General Plan and zoning regulations in the Plan Area. The team will assess best practices for typical lot sizes and street patterns, and desired architectural form in the Plan Area. This subtask includes a site visit to document and photograph the area.
 Transportation Existing Conditions: RICK will evaluate Plan area and surrounding circulation and mobility conditions and needs in accordance with the City’s traffic impact analysis requirements, including modeling and analysis to inform circulation improvements needed to support implementation of the Specific Plan.  Infrastructure Existing Conditions: Provost & Pritchard will characterize the capacity of and condition of the local water supply and distribution as well as wastewater conveyance and treatment systems.  Opportunities and Constraints Summary: PlaceWorks will create an illustrated Opportunities and Constraints summary of input from findings learned in the Area Profile/Existing Conditions Report. The summary will include the identification of potential opportunity sites that will be considered for inclusion in a later subtask looking at development opportunities for key sites in the Plan Area. This summary will be provided in an easy-to-access PowerPoint presentation, suitable for uploading to the web page or for presenting in a public workshop.

Findings from the abovementioned items will be presented in an Area Profile/Existing Conditions Report memorandum that will be provided for City review as a draft document prior to incorporation into the Specific Plan.
4 PLACEWORKS

2.2 Land Use, Zoning, Circulation
The PlaceWorks team will review all relevant documents pertaining to land use and circulation, including, but not limited to, existing and proposed General Plan Land Use and Circulation Elements, Specific Plans, and the current Zoning Code. PlaceWorks will coordinate with the General Plan Update City and consultant team to consider and maximize the consistency of the Specific Plan with the Visión Salinas 2040 General Plan Update that is underway. PlaceWorks has a unique advantage assisting City staff with the General Plan Update and having previously worked with the City on the shift from land use designations to Place Types.

PlaceWorks will also review the City’s current Zoning Code and include zoning for the Plan Area that is consistent with the principles of New Urbanism and the Place Types identified in the General Plan Update.

Based on the Area Profile/Existing Conditions Report, the PlaceWorks team will develop a recommended multimodal transportation network for the Plan Area. The network will be built with an intentional effort to create safe and comfortable spaces for people of all ages, abilities, and identities, providing competitive transportation options. Rick Engineering will work with the City using data and public engagement to develop a hierarchy of modal priorities for each major roadway corridor/corridors in the Plan Area to create a more comfortable and convenient user experience. Balanced streets may require design tradeoffs to ensure comfortable and accessible facilities are provided for all users.

The transportation elements of the Specific Plan concept alternatives will build on these principles while making special considerations for varying context and unique challenges, including passenger pick-up and drop-off needs, freight loading and deliveries, and pedestrian activity centers. The concepts may feature elements such as complete streets, mobility hubs, scooter/bike parking, sidewalk extensions, midblock and enhanced pedestrian crossings, wayfinding kiosks, traffic-calming elements, and parklets and plazas. The concepts will also consider new transportation circulation patterns, such as converting underutilized alleys into spaces that support multimodal travel and meet stormwater needs and heat island reduction through green infrastructure.

In addition, the transportation improvements may include recommended modifications to bus routes and stops, new shuttles or transit connections (e.g., micro-transit), and stronger connectivity via first-/last-mile strategies. The final multimodal strategy will use data and engagement to create a network that supports Salinas’ community vision, place types, and economic development goals for the EASP. Rick Engineering will analyze and present findings in a Multimodal Access and Connectivity memorandum that will be provided for City review as a draft document prior to incorporation into the Specific Plan.

Provost & Pritchard will identify any water supply and distribution and wastewater treatment and conveyance system capacity issues associated with either one or both of the alternatives, as applicable.

2.3 Economic and Fiscal
PlaceWorks’ Chief Economist, Steve Gunnells, will prepare an economic and market assessment for the Plan Area, to document and provide guidance on the community’s economic health, challenges, and opportunities. The Economic/Market Demand Analysis will include analysis of real estate market conditions for housing, retail/commercial, and office uses. The focus of the analysis will be on identifying opportunities for inclusive economic development and housing of different types and densities to meet the needs of households across the income spectrum tailored to reflect the unique characteristics of the Plan Area.

PlaceWorks will prepare a draft Economic/Market Demand Analysis for review and comment by City staff.

City of Salinas • East Area Specific Plan 5
Steve will be available to discuss the draft assessment with City staff and to answer any questions. Upon receipt of a single, consolidated set of comments on the draft assessment, PlaceWorks will make revisions as appropriate and prepare a Final Economic/Market Demand Analysis for incorporation into the Specific Plan.

PlaceWorks will also develop an Implementation Plan containing strategies and programs for needed capital improvements. The Financing Strategy will identify funding resources and financial tools to implement the Plan actions. The Implementation Plan and Financing Strategy will be provided for City review as a draft document prior to incorporation into the Specific Plan.

2.4 Infrastructure
Provost & Pritchard will assess the capacity of and condition of the local water supply and distribution as well as wastewater conveyance and treatment systems based on the latest available master plan and related documents prepared for the City. Input and guidance will be sought from City public works and engineering representatives, and existing conditions information will inform conclusions regarding needed facilities.

2.5 Design
PlaceWorks has been in the forefront of understanding how cities are changing in the midst of factors such as a global pandemic and people increasingly shopping online instead of frequenting brick-and-mortar stores.

New growth areas in communities like Salinas may very well be positioned to take advantage of these changes. We will bring our expertise to Salinas to work with the community and decision makers to create places where people want to congregate, see their neighbors, shop, and entertain themselves. This will require rethinking some of the uses of public space, including streets. As part of this task, PlaceWorks design staff will analyze input from our Existing Conditions work and from the community outreach tasks and propose at least two alternatives for the Plan Area. The alternative scenarios will be developed using smart growth principles and will provide for a mix of housing types. The Alternatives Analysis will include recommendations regarding density, adjustments to place types, modification of development standards, and the incorporation of form-based code to create a pedestrian-friendly, attractive place to spend time.

PlaceWorks will present the analysis and findings in an Alternatives Analysis memorandum for City review for incorporation into the Draft Specific Plan.

PlaceWorks will develop a set of objective development and design standards for the Plan Area based on staff guidance and input from community outreach. These standards will be flexible enough to ensure feasibility for new projects, while requiring adherence to concepts that are most valuable to achieve the community’s vison. PlaceWorks will provide a fully illustrated document for City review prior to incorporation into the Specific Plan.

PlaceWorks landscape architecture staff will develop the preferred open space to guide planned public spaces, including corridors, libraries, recreation areas, and greenways. PlaceWorks will also provide standards regarding the provision of publicly accessible open space as part of new private development projects. PlaceWorks will document the proposed improvements and recommendations into a Public Space and Uses memorandum for City staff review to be incorporated into the Draft Specific Plan. 6 PLACEWORKS

2.6 Administrative Draft Specific Plan
PlaceWorks will prepare the Administrative Draft Specific Plan for internal review and comment by City staff.

The Administrative Draft will incorporate findings from previous tasks and will include the following components per State law (Government Code Sections 65450–65457, including all the contents required by Section 65451):
 Area Profile/Existing Conditions Report: The report will evaluate the existing Plan Area demographics and physical and regulatory conditions, including, but not limited to, existing transportation, infrastructure, land use, and the number of existing housing units or lack thereof.  Alternative Analysis: At least two alternatives will be developed based on input from the community workshops and meetings of the Technical Advisory Committee through the Area Profile and market study.

The alternatives will examine different future scenarios and will include recommendations regarding density, adjustments to land use categories, modification of development standards, and the incorporation of form-based code.
 Economic/Market Demand Analysis: The analysis will assess real estate market conditions for housing, retail/commercial, and office uses. The focus of the analysis will be on identifying opportunities for inclusive economic development and housing of different types and densities to meet the needs of households across the income spectrum tailored to reflect the unique characteristics of the Plan Area.  Public Space and Uses: The Plan will analyze and evaluate designs for existing and potential public spaces and uses that could serve as the primary community special event gathering area(s).  Multi-modal Access and Connectivity: This plan component will identify and provide recommendations on activities that can be incorporated to ensure the development of complete streets that includes transit, pedestrian, and bicycle networks with well-designed connections to public transportation and other modes of transportation.
 Implementation Plan and Financing Strategy: An implementation section will be included in the Plan to identify actions and responsible entities to carry out the proposed plan. Strategies to finance actions and improvement and general timeframes for completion will be included.  Infrastructure Development Budget: The Plan will assess the current public infrastructure facilities, and services to determine whether deficiencies exist that could impact development. An action plan and cost estimate are to be developed.
 Relationship to the City General Plan: The Plan will include a discussion of the relationship of the Specific Plan to the City’s 2002 General Plan and pending General Plan Update, Visión Salinas 2040. The final Specific Plan shall be consistent with Visión Salinas 2040 goals, policies, and actions.  Zoning: Zoning for the Plan Area should be consistent with the principles of New Urbanism and the Place Types identified in Visión Salinas 2040.

Before embarking on preparation of the Administrative Draft, PlaceWorks will consult with City staff to determine the look and appropriate file format(s) of the report to ensure ease of public use as well as interoperability and editability by City staff.

The City of Salinas is requesting qualifications from urban design, planning and environmental consulting firms to provide planning services related to the preparation and entitlement of the East Area Specific Plan (the “Project”) (Figure 1).

The city seeks a qualified consultant team, or consultant teams, with significant experience in the principals and implementation of ‘New Urbanism’, form-based land planning, neighborhood planning (including land use, pedestrian-oriented urban design, crime prevention through environmental design, etc.), park/trail planning, civil and traffic engineering, public infrastructure, public finance and fiscal analysis, mitigating environmental impacts through project design and standards, and associated fields to development and preparation of both a Specific Plan.

Additionally, the City is interested in planning consultants with demonstrated expertise and experience in preparing a Specific Plan (as provided for in Government Code sections 65450- 65457) built upon broad public involvement and consensus building. The consultant team may be a single multi-service firm or a combined team comprised of a planning lead with sub-consultants as required. Requested services do not include the preparation of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance documents, but the consultant will be required to coordinate with the City’s CEQA compliance professionals. It is anticipated that the environmental review of the Project will be able to tier off of the Final Supplement to the Salinas General Plan Program EIR (2008) which analyzed the enviromental impacts in the Future Growth Area North of Boronda, including the East Area, as well as the EIR for the Visión Salinas 2040 General Plan Update, which is anticipated to be adopted in June 2024. Consultant will also be required to consider and maximize the consistency of the Specific Plan with the 2002 Salinas General Plan and the Visión Salinas 2040 General Plan Update that is underway.

Through the Visión Salinas 2040 General Plan Update, the City is proposing a new approach to land use designations and land use map that aims to create and reinforce quality places where people want to live, work, play, and learn. The draft Place Types and Place Types Map (attached) were developed from community feedback heard at the seven (7) land use workshops, Working Group and Steering Committee meetings, and the Community Design Workshop. Draft Place Types incorporate land use policies and recommendations of other recent planning documents including the Alisal Vibrancy Plan and Economic Development Element. Development of this Specific Plan should include these Place Types when determining the landuses within the plan area.

BACKGROUND
The City of Salinas is facing an ongoing housing crisis with a low supply of units, rising rents and home prices, overcrowding, and a significant population of unhoused residents. Similar to many cities in California, housing affordability challenges have steadily increased in Salinas since the last Housing Element and were exacerbated further during the COVID-19 pandemic. 4 In response to these challenges, the City of Salinas has focused on advancing housing production and establishing programs to support residents with their housing needs. In March 2023, the City was honored to be the first city on the Central Coast to receive the official ProHousing Designation from the Office of Gov. Gavin Newsom., the first City on the Central Coast to receive the designation.

The 2023-2031 Housing Element is a tool for the City to continue to address its housing challenges and plan for the community’s housing needs, including a detailed outline and work program of the City’s goals, policies, quantified objectives, and programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing for a sustainable future. Development of the City’s Future Growth Areas is a key strategy to meet the City’s housing needs and it’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation.

The 2002 Salinas General Plan identified a Future Growth Area (FGA) which is located generally north of Boronda Road, west of Williams Road, east of San Juan Grade Road and south of Rogge Road (North of Boronda FGA, (Figure 1). The General Plan requires that new development in the North of Boronda FGA be based on New Urbanism as well as other design principles to promote walkability and the use of alternative modes of transportation, provide a variety of housing choices, ensure access to parks and open space, and promote sustainability, etc.

In September 2008, the North of Boronda FGA, comprising 2,388 gross acres, was annexed to the City of Salinas and zoned New Urbanism Interim (NI) with a Specific Plan Overlay. Policy LU4 of the Salinas General Plan requires the preparation of a specific plan(s) prior to the development of any FGA, including the North of Boronda FGA.

The Final Supplement to the 2002 Salinas General Plan Environmental Impact Report (FSEIR, 2008) evaluated the environmental impacts and established a Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Plan for the maximum development of 11,485 total dwellings and 3.992 million square feet of commercial/retail/mixed use and public/semi-public uses, including schools, city service facilities, and parks and open space in the North of Boronda FGA.

For planning purposes, the North of Boronda FGA was divided into three separate proposed Specific Plan Areas; the West Area (WASP), Central Area (CASP) and East Area (EASP).

Subsequently a fourth Specific Plan; the Gateway Center Specific Plan (GCSP), consisting of approximately 20 acres, was carved out of the WASP to facilitate the development of a large commercial center. The GCSP was approved by the City Council in 2011, the WASP in 2019 and the CASP in 2020.

An EASP was initiated in early to mid-2000s but did not move forward due to the economic downturn in 2008. GCSP, WASP and CASP land use figures are provided as Attachments 2, 3 and 4. East FGA General Plan land uses, designated through the annexation approval process, are shown on Attachment 5.

The City launched a comprehensive General Plan update, Visión Salinas 2040, in the summer of 2021. In addition to updating each chapter of the General Plan, Visión Salinas 2040 will also include a new Environmental Justice Element and the City’s first Climate Action Plan (CAP). The City has conducted a considerable amount of public engagement for Visión Salinas 2040, and is 5 in the process of drafting updated general plan elements with the expectation that a public draft will be available for review in January 2024.

In the past, the City did not have the staffing or financial resources to prepare Specific Plans for the FGA and therefore relied on developers to initiate, fund and create the GCSP, WASP, and CASP. At this time, there is the opportunity for the City to take the lead to create a city driven EASP and to complete the required CEQA compliance through the General Plan Update (GPU) process. While the EASP will be a separate document, it must be consistent with the General Plan.

Preparing the two Plans concurrently therefore has multiple advantages.

Current advanced planning and community engagement activities are already occurring and include the formation of Working Groups to develop content including goals, policies and actions.

The Built Environment Working Group’s focus includes revisiting current East Area proposed land uses, circulation, and desired future development in the East FGA. In addition, an agreement for planning and environmental services is already in place to prepare and process CEQA compliance for the Visión Salinas 2040 GPU. Study and analysis being prepared for the GPU may be able to be leveraged and augmented to include the EASP as an identified project alternative.

EAST AREA SPECIFIC PLAN
It is anticipated that an approved East Area Specific Plan would facilitate future development of the East FGA through streamlining the entitlement process for future development including a variety of housing types and commercial/retail and public/semi-public uses. A primary objective for undertaking the EASP is to provide additional opportunity for housing production and to ensure that the housing types that are developed are affordable for the City’s working families. Given that the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is 6,674 units for the next eight-year housing cycle, it is critical to dramatically increase available housing opportunity sites like the EASP.

The EASP would not only provide the general vision and broad policy concepts to guide development for a new residential neighborhood, but also provide the details on the type, location, and intensity of uses, define the capacity and design of needed public improvements and infrastructure, and determine the resources necessary to finance and implement the public improvements and infrastructure needed to support the vision for a new neighborhood.

Three important and distinctive features of this Specific Plan that will need to be included are:

1. New Urbanism and Development and implementation of urban design standards which promote walkable and livable environments within the project area and maintain continuation of trail from WASP/CASP;

2. Facilitate the production of a variety of housing types; and

3. Integration/connection of this new neighborhood with adjacent established, residential neighborhoods and commercial areas.
6 It is intended that the Specific Plan set development policies, land use regulations, design standards, capital improvement program, and a financing program, concisely within a single document to streamline permitting. Topics to be covered in the Specific Plan include • Land use and zoning designations,
• Development regulations and design standards and policies, • Mobility and circulation,
• Public services and utilities,
• Resource conservation,
• Infrastructure and financing requirements; and
• Implementation and administrative processes, including state laws to facilitate and streamline housing development.

Attachment 5 shows the current General Plan land uses and project area.

SCOPE OF WORK
The following describes specific components to be included in the scope of work. The City is open to suggestions other than or in addition to those listed which facilitate the completion of the project or improve project outcomes. It is anticipated that the final scope of work will not be approved until the final contract is executed with the selected consultant and the scope has been further refined as determined by City staff and the consultant.

CONDITIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF REQUEST

1. General Conditions. The City of Salinas reserves the right to (1) reject any or all responses, (2) postpone award of the contract for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days from the date replies are due, (3) waive informalities in the responses, and (4) take whatever action or make whatever decision it determines to be in the best interest of the City. All proposals will remain in effect and legally binding for at least sixty (60) days from the date of submission. A contract agreement shall not be binding or valid with the City unless and until it is executed by authorized representatives of the City and of the Consultant. 15 The City reserves the right to request additional information from any and all prospective firms as deemed necessary by the City in order to evaluate the proposals. This process may not be used, however, as an opportunity to submit missing documentation or to make substantive revisions to the original proposal.

Consultant may withdraw its proposal at any time prior to the date and the time which is set forth herein as the deadline for submittal of proposals.

2. Liability of Costs and Responsibility. Consultant agrees that the preparation of all materials and presentation for submittal to the City is at the Consultant’s sole cost and expense, and the City will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by Consultant.

Consultant is responsible for making necessary investigations and examination of records. Failure to do so will not act to relieve any condition of the proposed agreement or the requirements set out in this RFP. It is mutually understood and agreed that the submission of a proposal shall be considered conclusive evidence that the Consultant has made such examinations and investigations. No request for modification of a proposal shall be considered after its submission on the grounds that the Consultant was not fully informed as to any fact or condition.

The Consultant shall be required to assume responsibility for all services offered in the proposal whether or not they possess them within their organization. The Consultant will be the sole point of contact with regard to contractual matters, including payment of any and all charges resulting from the contract.

3. Standard Agreement. A sample professional services agreement is attached for the proponent’s reference. It is the responsibility of the Consultant to be familiar with and accept the terms of this standard contract. In some instances, contract provisions can be modified after review and approval of the City during final contract negotiations. Overall, however, the provisions in this contract are those preferred by the City for the engagement of consulting services relating to this RFP. If any of the terms and conditions contained in the standard agreement are not agreeable, these should be identified specifically, otherwise it will be assumed that the Consultant is willing to enter into the agreement as it is written.

Failure to identify contractual issues can be a basis for City to disqualify a Consultant.

4. Insurance. Consultant shall, throughout the duration of the project, maintain comprehensive general liability and property insurance covering all operations of Consultant, its agents and employees, performed in connection with the project in the amounts and in the types of coverages shown in the sample professional services agreement.

5. Non-Discrimination/Non-Preferential Treatment. Consultant shall not discriminate, in any way, against any person on the basis of race, sex, color, age, religion, sexual orientation, actual or perceived gender identity, disability, ethnicity, or national origin, in connection with or related to the performance of City contracts. 16 6. Rights to Submitted Materials. All proposals and related correspondence, reports, charges, schedules, exhibits and other documentation submitted with the proposal will become the property of the City and a matter of public record. All documents submitted in response to this RFP will be subject to disclosure if requested by a member of the public.

There are a very limited number of narrow exceptions to these disclosure requirements.

Any information that a prospective consultant considers confidential, the disclosure of which would be an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, should be submitted in a sealed envelope marked "CONFIDENTIAL; NOT PUBLIC RECORDS." During the selection process, the City will keep such information confidential and will not disclose it except as may be required under applicable law, including the California Public Records Act. This means that, depending on the nature or timing of the request, or future court decisions, that information may not remain private and may be publicly disclosed. Once the selection process is completed, the City will make reasonable efforts to return this information to the Consultant if not selected. Budgets and cost proposals submitted by proposers shall not be considered confidential or proprietary and may be subject to disclosure.

7. Prohibition of Gifts. City staff and officials are subject to several legal and policy limitations regarding receipt of gifts from persons, firms, or corporations either engaged in business with the Agency, or proposing to do business with the City. The offering of any illegal gift shall be grounds to disqualify a Consultant. To avoid even the appearance of impropriety, Proponents and Consultant should not offer any gifts or souvenirs, even of minimal value, to City officers or employees.

26 The City of Salinas, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the Consultant including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Consultant’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10, CG 11 85, or both CG 20 10, CG 20 26, CG 20 33, or CG 20 38; and CG 20 37 forms if later revisions used).

Primary Coverage
For any claims related to this Agreement or the project described within this Agreement, the Consultant’s insurance coverage shall be primary coverage at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Consultant’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.

Notice of Cancellation
Each insurance policy required above shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to the City.

Waiver of Subrogation
Consultant hereby grants to City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Consultant may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. Consultant agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the City has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer.

The Workers’ Compensation policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City of Salinas for all work performed by the Consultant, its employees, agents, and subcontractors.

Self-Insured Retentions
Self-insured retentions must be declared by Consultant to and approved by the City. At the option of the City, Consultant shall provide coverage to reduce or eliminate such self-insured retentions as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers; or the consultant shall provide evidence satisfactory to the City guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administrations, and defense expenses. The policy language shall provide, or be endorsed to provide, that the self-insured retention may be satisfied by either the named insured or City.

Acceptability of Insurers
Insurance is to be placed with insurers with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A:VII, unless otherwise acceptable to the City.
27 Claims Made Policies
If any of the required policies provide coverage on a claims-made basis:

1. The Retroactive Date must be shown and must be before the date of this Agreement or the beginning of Agreement work.

2. Insurance must be maintained, and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the Agreement of work.

3. If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a Retroactive Date prior to the Agreement effective date, the Consultant must purchase “extended reporting” coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of Agreement work.

4. A copy of the claims reporting requirements must be submitted to the City for review.

Verification of Coverage
Consultant shall furnish the City with original certificates and amendatory endorsements or copies of the applicable insurance language effecting coverage required by this Agreement. All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive the Consultant’s obligation to provide them. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time.

Subcontractors
Consultant shall require and verify that all sub-consultants and/or subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated herein, and Consultant shall ensure that Entity is an additional insured on insurance required from such sub-consultants and/or subcontractors.

Special Risks or Circumstances
City reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

Maintenance of Insurance
Maintenance of insurance by Consultant as specified shall in no way be interpreted as relieving Consultant of its indemnification obligations or any responsibility whatsoever and the Consultant may carry, at its own expense, such additional insurance as it deems necessary. 5411990.2

Proposal for Services • PLACEWORKS 1

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As a part of the North of Boronda Future Growth Area, the East Area Specific Plan (EASP or Plan) is expected to satisfy a large portion of the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) requirements. The Plan provides an opportunity to streamline the production of a variety of housing types, address the pressing need for workforce housing, and create a unique walkable, mixed-income, mixed-use community in Salinas.

This will require a comprehensive approach, including meshing land use and urban design concepts, crafting meaningful development and design standards, identifying capital improvement and financing programs, and developing effective implementation strategies. The Specific Plan will act as a blueprint for future development of what will become an active and attractive new neighborhood in Salinas.

The EASP will be driven largely by placemaking principles to promote a well-integrated, self-sufficient community with pedestrian-oriented access to a variety of land uses, as well as connection to existing surrounding neighborhoods and nearby commercial areas. Through meaningful discussion and engagement with community members and stakeholders, we will develop components of urban form that create a functional and welcoming identity and character for the plan area, including building height, development intensity, and public improvements and infrastructure such as the street network, transit hubs, open spaces, public facilities, and other focal elements.

The EASP will be created consistently with the Visión Salinas 2040 General Plan Update and will provide a bridge between the General Plan and forthcoming individual development projects to provide specific goals, clear policies, and feasible implementation measures in the planning area. We will integrate the General Plan Place Types into the Specific Plan to ensure that design in the East Area will result in quality places where people want to live, work, and play. We will tailor the regulatory structure for the plan area to facilitate quality development, promote investment, and advance housing production. Our goal is a Specific Plan that is financially feasible, desirable to build, and best addresses the concerns and preferences of the Salinas community.

3. FIRM EXPERIENCE AND

QUALIFICATIONS
This chapter describes the qualifications and relevant experience of the firms on the PlaceWorks team.

PlaceWorks
Specific Plans
PlaceWorks has prepared specific plans that streamline development throughout California and is recognized as a thought leader in state-of-the-art Specific Plan preparation. Not only have we prepared over 250 Specific Plans that cover every region of the state, we published the “Practical Guide to the Specific Plan.” In all cases, PlaceWorks’ approach is to use Specific Plans as a tool to both engender responsible development and to streamline the approval process so that development can proceed efficiently and cost effectively. Specific plans are an invaluable California tool for customizing how future development and public improvement address community needs and create thriving places. Our work is for both public- and private-sector clients, which gives us important insight on housing trends, production needs, and other barriers that exist throughout the state.

Urban Design
To successfully create an urban environment requires an in- depth understanding of both land use planning and design. At PlaceWorks, our approach to urban design is enhanced by our expert understanding of transitoriented development, downtown revitalization, and corridor planning. We integrate cohesive transit and streetscape networks with their surrounding neighborhoods, buildings, open spaces, and public facilities— all while maintaining the unique character of each community.

Community Outreach
Effective public engagement is a cornerstone of our practice—advancing outcomes that reflect and serve our communities. We seamlessly optimize the use of in-person and online tools—including our customizable online engagement platform—to open dialogues, elicit honest and creative responses, and build support from a wide range of stakeholders. Because we want to design plans that are not only practical and implementable but also embraced by the public and decision makers, we employ a variety of engagement tools. We seek input and involvement online, by phone, in person, and through focus groups from diverse voices in the community. By opening this dialogue and building support, we can help move projects—from the simple to the most challenging—through review and final approval.

CLOVIS GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND EIR (CLOVIS, CA)
Sixteen years after updating the 1993 General Plan, PlaceWorks was selected again by the City of Clovis to undertake a new effort to modernize the city's comprehensive plan. After a period of remarkable growth and development (almost doubling its population to nearly 100,000 residents), the Central Valley city needed to address a handful of key questions: How will Clovis preserve its small town appeal while diversifying its economic base? How will it meet
a growing demand for high-quality services and
deliver them cost-effectively and efficiently?
How will the City and community respond to the
growing regulatory landscape and address air
quality, water supply, and the environmental
impacts of climate change?
Clovis started the General Plan Update just as it
was experiencing a significant municipal budget
deficit, a struggling local economy, and a
reduction in staffing. PlaceWorks responded by

designing and executing a phased approach and developing foundational components to guide the first phase. Key deliverables included the land use plan framework, community profile, and an economic analysis report. These documents supported the second phase of focused area land planning, including replanning two urban villages, major commercial corridors, the historic Old Town, and a new central employment center.

PlaceWorks established central themes to engage the public and help direct goals and policies: Gateway to the Sierra (connecting visually and economically to the recreational opportunities and natural resources afforded by proximity to the mountains); Cyclovis (promoting Clovis as a mecca for bicycle ridership in the valley); and Start Here, Stay Here (providing opportunities for businesses, families, individuals, and businesses to originate, grow, and thrive).

SOUTHEAST GREENWAY VISION, GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT,

AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (SANTA ROSA, CA)
The Southeast Greenway will be a brand new public open space for the residents of the City of Santa Rosa. It will occupy an undeveloped 57- acre site, 1.5-miles-long, within the Southeast neighborhood of Santa Rosa. The land, currently owned by Caltrans, was proposed as the site for a freeway in the 1960s, but it was never built. In response to grassroots community organizing, the City of Santa Rosa and its partners (including the Sonoma Land Trust and Sonoma Regional Parks) are planning to acquire the land and transform the corridor into a beautiful, healthy, neighborhood-oriented linear greenspace. PlaceWorks engaged the community and the City and partners in a process to envision and plan for the Greenway. To
solicit meaningful public input, the
process included broad and
intensive community outreach,
with workshops of over 200
participants; a website with an
interactive survey; and door-todoor canvassing. Community members, the Planning
Commission, and the City Council
have agreed that a majority of the
site will be used as green space incorporating community gardens, natural areas, picnic areas, and playgrounds. The site will also provide an important bicycle and pedestrian connection that will enable users to connect from downtown Santa Rosa to Spring Lake Regional Park. In addition, new housing will be included for certain portions of the site, to help address the shortage of affordable housing in the region as well as to activate the greenway with additional users. PlaceWorks’ in-house team of graphic and urban designers, landscape architects, and seasoned environmental professionals worked together to articulate a detailed vision for the site and to refine it with community members, City decision makers, and partners. The vision was studied in an EIR created by PlaceWorks.

CONNECTMENLO GENERAL PLAN AND M-2 AREA ZONING

UPDATE (MENLO PARK, CA)
PlaceWorks led a two-year effort with a multidisciplinary team to update the Land Use and Circulation Elements of the General Plan, and to create new zoning regulations and high-quality design standards for the rapidly developing innovation hub around the Facebook headquarters. ConnectMenlo balances new office development with housing and the direct provision of real community amenities, such as a grocery store and pedestrian/bicycle safety improvements in the Belle Haven neighborhood between US Highway 101 and the San Francisco Bay. Other community benefits include alternative transportation to alleviate severe traffic congestion and to reduce vehicle-miles traveled, and affordable and market-rate housing to support both the adjacent neighborhoods and the increasing workforce. ConnectMenlo was achieved on an accelerated schedule to enact solutions in the face of a skyrocketing rate of development. The project included an innovative suite of public participation components, including area tours, a mobile app, educational symposia, and focus groups. The final products, including the new zoning ordinance sections, are easy to understand and administer, and are well received by Belle Haven residents, and the environmental and development communities as fair and appropriate.

DOWNTOWN LEMON GROVE SPECIFIC PLAN AND FORM-BASED

CODE (LEMON GROVE, CA)
The RICK Team prepared a Specific Plan and form-based code for redeveloping the Downtown Special Treatment Area (STA), a fourquadrant area within historic Downtown Lemon Grove. The Downtown STA includes approximately 10 blocks containing a San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) trolley station, City Hall and other municipal buildings, and the original business district oriented around the intersection of Lemon Grove Avenue and Broadway. Under direction of a five-member subcommittee and City staff, the project team gathered input at two public workshops. With this input and previous studies, the STA was divided into four districts and several alternative land use plans and development concepts were created for each. The Specific Plan includes design guidelines, custom zoning and development standards, and incentives to encourage property owners to implement their properties in conformance with the Specific Plan. The TOD program included densification of areas around the trolley station while preserving a walkable, revitalized commercial district. The team updated the Specific Plan to expand the commercial corridor along Broadway and create a TOD within a 20- block area. Focus was on integrating a series of plazas and pedestrian-oriented urban pathways that incorporated public art. Additionally, the project expanded mixed uses, including restaurants, entertainment, office, and residential development.

4. SCOPE OF WORK
This chapter describes the scope of services to be completed by the PlaceWorks team for the Salinas EASP.

To facilitate your review of this proposal, we have prepared a concise scope that emphasizes key components of our approach to this project.

We are flexible regarding the proposed scope of work and will work with you to prepare a more detailed scope when we enter into a contract. We also recognize that it may be necessary to alter the scope as the project progresses and would be happy to work with you to ensure the successful completion of the project.

A summary of the work program is presented in Table 1.

Task 1. Project Kick-off, Coordination, and Management
This task will kick off the project and provide management to ensure the project stays on schedule and on budget.

1.1 Kick-off Meeting
The PlaceWorks team, including Rick Engineering, will coordinate a kick-off meeting with City staff to review project goals, roles, communication protocols, project schedule, work plan, data needs, concerns/issues, and the status of current and planned efforts that are relevant to the project. This meeting will establish the project management procedures, including invoicing terms and communication protocols, and data collection approach. We will also confirm the Specific Plan area boundary (Plan Area), which we assume will be similar to that shown on page 32 of the request for proposals (RFP). In advance of this meeting, the PlaceWorks team will prepare a data request document and detailed work program, including a schedule/timeline for the completion of each task, for review by the project team at the meeting. After the kick-off meeting, PlaceWorks will refine the project scope of work and schedule as needed to reflect desired project goals. We assume this meeting will be held online.

1.2 Project Status Meetings
PlaceWorks will participate in regular status update meetings with City staff to ensure the project remains on task and budget. These meetings will be conducted virtually, via Zoom or by phone, and other team members will attend as needed. Prior to each meeting, we will work with City staff to determine the most appropriate meeting format and identify the necessary participants. PlaceWorks will share a meeting summary with action items following each meeting. We recommend and have scoped for bi-weekly meetings. The length of each meeting will vary depending on the phase and the agenda, but for the purposes of this scope of work, we have assumed that meetings will average one hour each. PlaceWorks will also participate in periodic phone calls with the City’s Project Manager (upon the initiation of either party) on an as-needed basis to address any issues that arise between project team meetings.

For this task, PlaceWorks will document the urban design and built form in the Plan Area, including existing and surrounding land uses, commercial and residential focus areas, key nodes, open spaces, cultural institutions, destinations, and General Plan and zoning regulations in the Plan Area. The team will assess best practices for typical lot sizes and street patterns, and desired architectural form in the Plan Area. This subtask includes a site visit to document and photograph the area.
 Transportation Existing Conditions: RICK will evaluate Plan area and surrounding circulation and mobility conditions and needs in accordance with the City’s traffic impact analysis requirements, including modeling and analysis to inform circulation improvements needed to support implementation of the Specific Plan.  Infrastructure Existing Conditions: Provost & Pritchard will characterize the capacity of and condition of the local water supply and distribution as well as wastewater conveyance and treatment systems.  Opportunities and Constraints Summary: PlaceWorks will create an illustrated Opportunities and Constraints summary of input from findings learned in the Area Profile/Existing Conditions Report. The summary will include the identification of potential opportunity sites that will be considered for inclusion in a later subtask looking at development opportunities for key sites in the Plan Area. This summary will be provided in an easy-to-access PowerPoint presentation, suitable for uploading to the web page or for presenting in a public workshop.

Findings from the abovementioned items will be presented in an Area Profile/Existing Conditions Report memorandum that will be provided for City review as a draft document prior to incorporation into the Specific Plan.

Scope of Work
22 CITY OF SALINAS • East Area Specific Plan

2.2 Land Use, Zoning, Circulation
The PlaceWorks team will review all relevant documents pertaining to land use and circulation, including, but not limited to, existing and proposed General Plan Land Use and Circulation Elements, Specific Plans, and the current Zoning Code. PlaceWorks will coordinate with the General Plan Update City and consultant team to consider and maximize the consistency of the Specific Plan with the Visión Salinas 2040 General Plan Update that is underway. PlaceWorks has a unique advantage assisting City staff with the General Plan Update and having previously worked with the City on the shift from land use designations to Place Types.

PlaceWorks will also review the City’s current Zoning Code and include zoning for the Plan Area that is consistent with the principles of New Urbanism and the Place Types identified in the General Plan Update.

Based on the Area Profile/Existing Conditions Report, the PlaceWorks team will develop a recommended multimodal transportation network for the Plan Area. The network will be built with an intentional effort to create safe and comfortable spaces for people of all ages, abilities, and identities, providing competitive transportation options. Rick Engineering will work with the City using data and public engagement to develop a hierarchy of modal priorities for each major roadway corridor/corridors in the Plan Area to create a more comfortable and convenient user experience. Balanced streets may require design tradeoffs to ensure comfortable and accessible facilities are provided for all users.

The transportation elements of the Specific Plan concept alternatives will build on these principles while making special considerations for varying context and unique challenges, including passenger pick-up and drop-off needs, freight loading and deliveries, and pedestrian activity centers. The concepts may feature elements such as complete streets, mobility hubs, scooter/bike parking, sidewalk extensions, midblock and enhanced pedestrian crossings, wayfinding kiosks, traffic-calming elements, and parklets and plazas. The concepts will also consider new transportation circulation patterns, such as converting underutilized alleys into spaces that support multimodal travel and meet stormwater needs and heat island reduction through green infrastructure.

In addition, the transportation improvements may include recommended modifications to bus routes and stops, new shuttles or transit connections (e.g., micro-transit), and stronger connectivity via first-/last-mile strategies. The final multimodal strategy will use data and engagement to create a network that supports Salinas’ community vision, place types, and economic development goals for the EASP. Rick Engineering will analyze and present findings in a Multimodal Access and Connectivity memorandum that will be provided for City review as a draft document prior to incorporation into the Specific Plan.

Provost & Pritchard will identify any water supply and distribution and wastewater treatment and conveyance system capacity issues associated with either one or both of the alternatives, as applicable.

2.3 Economic and Fiscal
PlaceWorks’ Chief Economist, Steve Gunnells, will prepare an economic and market assessment for the Plan Area, to document and provide guidance on the community’s economic health, challenges, and opportunities. The Economic/Market Demand Analysis will include analysis of real estate market conditions for housing, retail/commercial, and office uses. The focus of the analysis will be on identifying opportunities for inclusive economic development and housing of different types and densities to meet the needs of households across the income spectrum tailored to reflect the unique characteristics of the Plan Area.

Scope of Work
Proposal for Services • PLACEWORKS 23
PlaceWorks will prepare a draft Economic/Market Demand Analysis for review and comment by City staff.

Steve will be available to discuss the draft assessment with City staff and to answer any questions. Upon receipt of a single, consolidated set of comments on the draft assessment, PlaceWorks will make revisions as appropriate and prepare a Final Economic/Market Demand Analysis for incorporation into the Specific Plan.

PlaceWorks will also develop an Implementation Plan containing strategies and programs for needed capital improvements. The Financing Strategy will identify funding resources and financial tools to implement the the Plan actions. The Implementation Plan and Financing Strategy will be provided for City review as a draft document prior to incorporation into the Specific Plan.

2.4 Infrastructure
Provost & Pritchard will assess the capacity of and condition of the local water supply and distribution as well as wastewater conveyance and treatment systems based on the latest available master plan and related documents prepared for the City. Input and guidance will be sought from City public works and engineering representatives, and existing conditions information will inform conclusions regarding needed facilities.

2.5 Design
PlaceWorks has been in the forefront of understanding how cities are changing in the midst of factors such as a global pandemic and people increasingly shopping online instead of frequenting brick-and-mortar stores.

New growth areas in communities like Salinas may very well be positioned to take advantage of these changes. We will bring our expertise to Salinas to work with the community and decision makers to create places where people want to congregate, see their neighbors, shop, and entertain themselves. This will require rethinking some of the uses of public space, including streets. As part of this task, PlaceWorks design staff will analyze input from our Existing Conditions work and from the community outreach tasks and propose at least two alternatives for the Plan Area. The alternative scenarios will be developed using smart growth principles and will provide for a mix of housing types. The Alternatives Analysis will include recommendations regarding density, adjustments to place types, modification of development standards, and the incorporation of form-based code to create a pedestrian-friendly, attractive place to spend time.

PlaceWorks will present the analysis and findings in an Alternatives Analysis memorandum for City review for incorporation into the Draft Specific Plan.

PlaceWorks will develop a set of objective development and design standards for the Plan Area based on staff guidance and input from community outreach. These standards will be flexible enough to ensure feasibility for new projects, while requiring adherence to concepts that are most valuable to achieve the community’s vison. PlaceWorks will provide a fully illustrated document for City review prior to incorporation into the Specific Plan.

PlaceWorks landscape architecture staff will develop the preferred open space to guide planned public spaces, including corridors, libraries, recreation areas, and greenways. PlaceWorks will also provide standards regarding the provision of publicly accessible open space as part of new private development projects. PlaceWorks will document the proposed improvements and recommendations into a Public Space and Uses memorandum for City staff review to be incorporated into the Draft Specific Plan.

Scope of Work
24 CITY OF SALINAS • East Area Specific Plan

2.6 Administrative Draft Specific Plan
PlaceWorks will prepare the Administrative Draft Specific Plan for internal review and comment by City staff.

The Administrative Draft will incorporate findings from previous tasks and will include the following components per State law (Government Code Sections 65450–65457, including all the contents required by Section 65451):
 Area Profile/Existing Conditions Report: The report will evaluate the existing Plan Area demographics and physical and regulatory conditions, including, but not limited to, existing transportation, infrastructure, land use, and the number of existing housing units or lack thereof.  Alternative Analysis: At least two alternatives will be developed based on input from the community workshops and meetings of the Technical Advisory Committee through the Area Profile and market study.

The alternatives will examine different future scenarios and will include recommendations regarding density, adjustments to land use categories, modification of development standards, and the incorporation of form-based code.
 Economic/Market Demand Analysis: The analysis will assess real estate market conditions for housing, retail/commercial, and office uses. The focus of the analysis will be on identifying opportunities for inclusive economic development and housing of different types and densities to meet the needs of households across the income spectrum tailored to reflect the unique characteristics of the Plan Area.  Public Space and Uses: The Plan will analyze and evaluate designs for existing and potential public spaces and uses that could serve as the primary community special event gathering area(s).  Multi-modal Access and Connectivity: This plan component will identify and provide recommendations on activities that can be incorporated to ensure the development of complete streets that includes transit, pedestrian, and bicycle networks with well-designed connections to public transportation and other modes of transportation.
 Implementation Plan and Financing Strategy: An implementation section will be included in the Plan to identify actions and responsible entities to carry out the proposed plan. Strategies to finance actions and improvement and general timeframes for completion will be included.  Infrastructure Development Budget: The Plan will assess the current public infrastructure facilities, and services to determine whether deficiencies exist that could impact development. An action plan and cost estimate are to be developed.
 Relationship to the City General Plan: The Plan will include a discussion of the relationship of the Specific Plan to the City’s 2002 General Plan and pending General Plan Update, Visión Salinas 2040. The final Specific Plan shall be consistent with Visión Salinas 2040 goals, policies, and actions.  Zoning: Zoning for the Plan Area should be consistent with the principles of New Urbanism and the Place Types identified in Visión Salinas 2040.

Before embarking on preparation of the Administrative Draft, PlaceWorks will consult with City staff to determine the look and appropriate file format(s) of the report to ensure ease of public use as well as interoperability and editability by City staff.
