TOPIC: Development Impact Fee Report

AGENDA TITLE
Annual Development Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2021-2022

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file the Annual Development Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2021-2022.

DISCUSSION
Following the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, many cities began charging fees on new development to fund public improvements and services such as streets, public utilities, and parks. These fees are commonly known as Development Impact Fees. To ensure these fees were spent in a timely manner and on projects for which they were being collected, the State Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1600, known as the Mitigation Fee Act.

In accordance with Government Code Sections 66001 and 66006, the City is required to publish an annual report (Exhibit 1) for each fund established to account for development impact fees. The report must include: a brief description of the type of fee; fee amount; beginning and ending balance of the account or fund; amount of fees collected and interest earned; identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount expended; an estimated date construction will commence; and descriptions of each interfund transfer or loan.

California Government Code Section 66006 requires an annual accounting of development impact fees to be made available to the public within 180 days of the end of the City's fiscal year. Additionally, this information must be presented to the City Council at least 15 days after it is made available to the public. The report was posted on the City’s website on December 29, 2022 and a hardcopy was made available at the City’s library.

The City collects the following development impact fees: Transportation System Improvement Area, Transit Zoning Code Traffic Impact Mitigation Fair Share, Harbor Specific Plan Mitigation Fair Share, Drainage Assessment Fee, Sewer Connection Fee, and Park Acquisition and Development Fees. These fees are collected prior to the issuance of building permits for new residential and commercial construction. The City Council 9 – 1 3/21/2023

TOPIC: Purchase of a Custom Saw Trailer for the Public Works Water Resources Division

AGENDA TITLE
Award a Purchase Order to Sonsray Machinery, LLC in the amount of $51,681 for One Felling Custom Saw Trailer for the Public Works Water Resources Division (Specification No. 23-031) (Non-General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize a one-time purchase and payment of Purchase Order to Sonsray Machinery, LLC. for one Felling Custom Saw Trailer, in the amount of $46,681, plus a contingency amount of $5,000, for a total amount not to exceed $51,681, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s Fleet Services Division is responsible for the acquisition, maintenance, repair, and replacement of vehicles, trucks, and maintenance equipment.

The Public Works Agency Water Resources Division oversees and maintains the daily operations of the City’s water and sanitary sewer systems. The Water Resources Division is requesting to purchase a custom saw trailer to be utilized by the Water System Maintenance section. The product being requested is a custom-built, towbehind trailer that is designed to house and transport a walk-behind pavement saw. The Water System Maintenance crew will use the saw for precise removal of concrete and asphalt during the repair and maintenance of the City’s water system infrastructure. The trailer will also house a water tank and hose system, portable generator, task lighting, and storage for accessories, all of which will eliminate or reduce the need for additional equipment being transported to work sites.

Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to utilize purchase contracts for any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. Sourcewell (formerly National Joint Powers Alliance) awarded a contract to Felling Trailers, Inc. (Contract No. 121918- FTS) for procurement of Heavy Equipment Trailers as a result of open, competitive bidding on behalf of its members, which includes government agencies. Sonsray Machinery, LLC is an authorized dealer of Vermeer Corporation and is extending the contract to the City.

The Dan Young Synthetic Turf project will replace the remaining, existing natural grass on Field No. 1 and 3 with the latest technology turf system which will enhance the field to optimum use.

Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. Sourcewell (formerly National Joint Powers Alliance) is a public agency that serves as a national municipal contracting agency to provide competitive procurement services to participating agencies.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the Public Works Agency to request a two-year time extension of Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program funding for Fairview Avenue Improvements from 9th Street to 16th Street project (21-SNTA-ACE-3996) and for Fairview Street Improvements from Monte Carlo Drive to Trask Avenue. (22-SNTAACE-4020).

DISCUSSION
The Fairview Avenue Improvements from 9th Street to 16th Street project, and the Fairview Street Improvements from Monte Carlo Drive to Trask Avenue project were awarded a total of $4,546,590 in funds by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) for Fiscal Year 2022-23. Both projects’ scopes include widening the roadway from the existing four lanes to six lanes to provide adequate vehicular capacity within the City’s northern limits in addition to sidewalks, wheel chair ramps, raised medians, and traffic signal modifications.

In accordance with CTFP guidelines, the construction contract for this project must be awarded by June 30, 2023.

The project is located next to a railroad track where miscellaneous concrete slab, rebar, and box culvert were buried under Lincoln Avenue and were in the way of the new water and sewer line alignment and street improvement. As a result of the extensive excavations caused by the unforeseen obstructions, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations were triggered, requiring the project to add a stormwater treatment unit “filterra” to treat the water runoff into the City storm drain.

Approval of the recommended action will allow completion of the project including change orders and additional required work. The recommended action will increase the contract project contingency by $343,000, thereby increasing the total estimated construction delivery cost to $2,343,000, as summarized in the table below:

Project Item Current Total New Total
Construction Contract $1,453,765 $1,453,765
Construction, Administration, Inspection, Testing $218,000 $218,000 Contingencies $228,235 $571,235

TOPIC: Agreements for On-Call Environmental Services

AGENDA TITLE
Approve Agreements with Tetra Tech, Inc., Dudek, and ECORP Consulting Inc. for OnCall Environmental Services in aggregate amounts not to exceed $2,450,000, for up to five-year terms (Non-General Fund)

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with Tetra Tech, Inc., Dudek, and ECORP Consulting Inc., to provide On-Call Environmental Services on as needed basis: federal contract in an aggregate amount not to exceed $950,000 for a three-year term beginning March 21, 2023 and expiring March 20, 2026, with an option for two, one-year extensions, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with Tetra Tech, Inc., Dudek, and ECORP Consulting Inc, to provide On-Call Environmental Services on as needed basis: non-federal contract aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500,000 for a three-year term beginning March 21, 2023 and expiring March 20, 2026, with an option for two, one-year extensions, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

DISCUSSION
On September 23, 2021, the Public Works Agency (PWA) released Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 21-105, by which it sought the services of a professional engineering firm to provide On-Call Environmental services on an as-needed or “on-call” basis. The RFP was advertised on the City’s online procurement management and publication system, with Proposals due on October 21, 2021. Eight proposals were received and evaluated by a selection committee. Based on criteria outlined in the RFP, the following summarizes the responding firms and their ranking:

Page 2 ends

Approval of the recommended action will authorize two sets of consultant agreements for future task orders, depending on the project funding source. For grant-funded projects that require adherence to Caltrans Architecture and Engineering (A&E) requirements, task orders will be issued on the Caltrans version of the on-call agreement (Exhibits 1-3). All other task orders that are funded with local or discretionary funds will utilize the standard version of the consultant agreement (Exhibits 4-6).

Based upon the scope of work and selection criteria outlined in RFP 21-105, staff recommends awarding two sets of agreements for each firm listed: one to provide environmental services per Caltrans requirements, and the others to provide services not subject to Caltrans requirements. The firms’ proposals demonstrated that they have the necessary capacity and expertise to complete the required services. The consultant’s rates are reasonable and within industry standard, the teams’ qualifications are appropriate, and the proposals were determined to provide the best value for the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact at this time. PWA will follow the established on-call services process during the FY 2023-24 - FY 2025-26 contractual term for requesting necessary fiscal review and authorization. Prior to utilizing the on-call services for any of these future task orders, PWA staff must receive Finance and Management Services Agency approval of funding and project activities to be used to ensure funds are available under the authorization limit of $950,000 for any federally funded projects, and under the shared $1,500,000 aggregate for any projects using local or discretionary funds. Upon successful completion of the fiscal review, a corresponding Notice to Proceed containing the specific scope and maximum expenditure for the task order will be issued. The current fiscal year funding is available in the FY 22-23 budget and future fiscal year funding will be included in the proposed budgets for City Council consideration.

Section D Understanding of Need
Tetra Tech understands the City’s goals to efficiently and effectively build and maintain all public streets, storm drains, sewers, and water facilities in the City while protecting environmental resources. Tetra Tech is very familiar with the City’s current and planned public works projects including First Street Improvements Project, Lincoln Avenue Pedestrian Pathway Project, Well 32 and Pipeline Project, and the Washington Well Project.

Tetra Tech is committed to providing the City of Santa Ana a team that can demonstrate strong performance in environmental services to meet all the demands of the anticipated projects and ultimately to deliver a successful project.

Environmental stewardship must be a key component in the design and implementation of public works projects. The CEQA and NEPA processes and requirements vary significantly from project to project presenting unique challenges in ensuring compliance with all environmental regulations. Additionally, the public comment periods can impact the processes thus lengthening schedules and increasing costs. Our City Council 16 – 35 3/21/2023

team provides an experienced group who have prepared CEQA and NEPA documentation on similar types of projects throughout Southern California.

Our public outreach and early intervention and collaboration with the public will assist in identifying red flag community issues early in the project design process, providing the City and project design team the opportunity to address the concerns through design or mitigation before the issues become intertwined with the CEQA or NEPA processes thus speeding up the project adoption and compliance with all CEQA and NEPA concerns.

Two primary qualities our team takes pride in is our attention to detail and breadth of professional knowledge and experience of staff. The environmental analysts on our team work very closely with project proponents, CEQA and/or NEPA lead agencies, and other regulatory agencies to ensure timely completion of environmental documents and permits even under tight schedules. We know and understand the importance of collaborating between the planning and design teams at the beginning of the project’s design life so that environmental impacts and constraints can be taken into consideration early in the planning process.

Environmental Services
Tetra Tech assists clients in navigating the complex requirements of the CEQA and NEPA assessments and documentation processes with a combination of activities.  Project: thoroughly understanding project objectives, planning and design details, implementation activities, and long-term operation and maintenance requirements.  Environment: identifying all aspects of the local setting (both natural and engineered) that could be affected by the proposed project, thereby providing an appropriate level of detail to evaluate current conditions of resources and systems.
 Impacts: identifying and evaluating the potential intersection of project and environment to assess the significance level of possible impacts.

At Tetra Tech, we begin at the earliest stage of a project by applying science to problems and developing solutions tailored to the needs of our clients and the details of the project under evaluation. We continue to support our clients throughout the entire project life cycle with consulting, engineering, construction management, operations and maintenance, and IT services—offering these services individually or as part of a full-service approach.

Environmental Documentation
The Tetra Tech Team has worked on numerous assessment contracts evaluating potential impacts from proposed projects as lead for CEQA and NEPA document preparation, as the consultant responsible for technical studies and resource surveys that support the impact assessments, and as the consultant providing peer review of documentation. We can prepare all types of CEQA and NEPA documents from CATEX through IS/Negative Declaration (ND) or MND, EA/Finding of No Significant Impact to EIR and EIS.

We have also prepared EIRs and EISs for large projects with greater potential environmental impacts and a commensurate need for a higher level of assessment. The Tetra Tech Team has depth of experience in a wide variety of public and private sector projects.

A summary of our general approach to environmental services projects is provided in Table 1. A more detailed description of our approach to each task is provided in Section 2 of this Proposal.

Project Management
Tetra Tech has earned an excellent reputation among clients for accomplishing quality work within critical time limits and on budget. Our approach to project management includes consistent communication and feedback and the implementation of a project management plan that consistently tracks tasks, budgets, schedules, and deliverables. We use our proven integrated project schedule tracking process. This process facilitates “critical path” scheduling and provides solutions to attain final deliverable dates should the schedule for any intermediate work element along the critical path slip. We ensure that the team assigned to a project meets the two basic capacity requirements—sufficient number of appropriate and experienced staff and an appropriate mix of qualifications and experience to perform the array of tasks within the scope of work.

To maintain established schedules, we use monthly progress reports to identify upcoming critical paths.

Section F References
Tetra Tech has provided references for each of the representative projects in Section 1E, Tables 3, 4, and 5.

SECTION 2 SCOPE OF SERVICES AND SCHEDULE
The following presents our general technical approach and work plan for environmental services tasks.

Project Initiation
In preparation for commencement of a project, the Tetra Tech Project Manager will attend a kickoff meeting with the City within five working days of receiving a notice to proceed to coordinate the scope and schedule for completing the document. At or before the kickoff meeting, the Project Manager will gather sufficient details to prepare the description of the proposed project. These details may include: a full set of plans including a site plan; elevations and cross sections; floor plans (if applicable); a detailed grading and drainage plan indicating the limits of ground disturbance and grading volumes (cut, fill, and export/import); landscape plans; and lighting plans. Other project description details may include construction timing and phasing; construction equipment list; any other technical studies prepared for the project; and operation of the project (e.g., associated traffic if known, details special events, etc.).

Tetra Tech will develop a draft description of the proposed project and alternatives (if necessary) and will submit it to the City’s Project Manager for review and approval. After receipt of City’s comments, Tetra Tech will finalize the description of the proposed project and alternatives.

Draft Initial Study and Required Technical Studies
The analysis of a project’s potential environmental impacts will commence with the preparation of an IS.

The IS will be prepared according to CEQA requirements and the State CEQA Guidelines (Section 15063).

The most recent CEQA Environmental Checklist Form (Appendix G) will be used. Documentation for the review of a project’s potential environmental impacts follow a very prescriptive process that requires consideration of 21 separate subject areas. Each of these subject areas must address its own set of City Council 16 – 43 3/21/2023

PROPOSAL FOR
On-Call Environmental Services
RFP NO.: 21-105
City of Santa Ana 16 TETRA TECH
questions designed to cover the potential range of impacts that could be faced. The questions range between 2 and 10 questions for each subject area, and total 93 questions over all subject areas.

I. Aesthetics
II. Agriculture/Forestry Resources
III. Air Quality
IV. Biological Resources
V. Cultural Resources
VI. Energy
VII. Geology/Soils
VIII. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
IX. Hazards/Hazardous Materials
X. Hydrology/Water Quality
XI. Land Use/Planning
XII. Mineral Resources
XIII. Noise
XIV. Population/Housing
XV. Public Services
XVI. Recreation
XVII. Transportation
XVIII. Tribal Cultural Resources
XIX. Utilities/Service Systems
XX. Wildfire
XXI. Mandatory Findings of Significance
The preparation of an IS checklist includes completing all questions of the checklist with a written response to, or evaluation of, the impacts considered by the questions for each subject area. The responses provided in the IS will rely on information provided in separate technical studies prepared for the proposed action, or other existing documentation applicable to the specific subject area. Generally, many questions will not require an extensive or detailed discussion to provide appropriate scoring. However, it is our experience that several subject areas usually require more extensive responses to the questions. These include some combination of Air Quality/GHG, Cultural Resources, Noise, and Transportation; and, in many cases can also extend to Aesthetics, Biology, Geology, and Hydrology.

Technical Studies
Aesthetic Resources. Conducting an objective, thorough, and well-illustrated visual resource assessment is often a critical component of both public relations efforts and environmental review. It is a useful tool to assist the public in understanding what a project will look like when placed in the environment. Tetra Tech provides state-of-the-art visual impact studies that meet the technical and procedural needs of permitting authorities, illustrating to stakeholders how the project would appear and from which angles it would be visible. Our team is experienced with determining key observation points and providing analyses to address concerns of sensitive viewers while meeting CEQA requirements. In addition, Tetra Tech has extensive experience developing scientifically defensible photo simulations using project photography, GIS, 3D graphic design software, and visual simulation expertise.

Air Quality Study/Greenhouse Gas Assessment. Air assessments can address criteria pollutants, air toxic emissions, climate change impacts (GHG), and health risks relative to project activities. Both the construction and operation phases of projects can produce emissions of criteria pollutants which must be evaluated, and time-phased quantities compared to allowable limits established by the governing air quality management district for the project location. Tetra Tech is a leading provider of air quality services.

Company expertise includes the following services: air emissions impact assessments, air monitoring and sampling, dispersion modeling and health risk assessments, GHG emissions inventory and certification, permit application, regulatory analysis and support, stationary and mobile source testing, and technical evaluation and demonstration of advanced control technologies.

Biological Resources Assessment. Botanical and wildlife species are commonly among the most important resources evaluated under CEQA. Certainly, the presence of plants and animals on federal or state Threatened or Endangered species lists will require even more intense review. Concern over potential impacts to biological resources is often the basis for legal action which can cause project delays or even cancellations. Therefore, it is critically important that all potentially important or significant species associated with a project site or region are identified early, are evaluated using appropriate survey protocols, and data are collected with methods designed to preserve accuracy and detail.

team can provide standard field survey capabilities and special status species expertise that can be applied to terrestrial plants and animals, wetlands areas, and avian species considerations.

Cultural Resources Study/Historical Resources Assessment. The Tetra Tech Team includes experienced cultural resource managers with training in Anthropology and Archaeology, and experience in community outreach, including outreach to Native American Tribes. Tetra Tech’s archaeologists and architectural historians have the national and regional expertise and experience to perform literature and record reviews, conduct pedestrian and intensive surveys to identify and evaluate historic and prehistoric properties. Our cultural resources staff exceed the Secretary of the Interior’s Standard Qualifications for History, Architectural History, and Archaeology, allowing us to provide archaeological and historic architectural studies and reporting. Tetra Tech staff have also conducted site evaluations and, nominations and monitoring following California Register of Historical Resources and National Register of Historic Places criteria and guidelines. Tetra Tech has extensive experience working with the California State Historic Preservation Office, conducting Tribal consultation, and experience with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act in conjunction with CEQA.

Hazards/Hazardous Materials/Environmental Site Assessments. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is a “due diligence” process, which identifies hazardous and potentially hazardous conditions in and/or adjacent to the site. ESAs consist of record reviews and property research activities and may include sampling of building materials. ESAs provide important information regarding property value, liability issues, and redevelopment constraints. If recognized environmental conditions or known environmental impairments are identified, a Phase II ESA may be conducted to determine the potential nature and extent of contamination. Our ESAs consistently meet or exceed current American Standard Test Method standards, agency requirements, and client expectations. Our services include: Phase I and II ESAs, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act/Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act investigations, underground storage tank investigations, sediment/water quality analysis, hazardous materials/hazardous waste assessment, health risk assessment, impact assessments, soil and groundwater sampling, pilot testing and full-scale remediation.

Geology/Soils/Minerals Studies. Evaluating the possibility that a project could create unstable conditions, or that the location of a project could elevate specific hazardous conditions for the completed development (particularly if structures are involved) are among the effects considered by a geologic evaluation. Local topography, proposed project grading, soil compaction requirements, and erosion potential all must be considered to evaluate how a project might impact local geology and soils. The availability of mineral resources in the project area must be determined to evaluate how a project might impact access to these resources. Proximity to fault zones, areas with high liquefaction potential, and the prevalence of expansive soils (containing certain clay types) all affect the potential that the local geology and soils could exacerbate hazards for a project. Tetra Tech geologists and engineers are expert in evaluating and describing these local conditions and can evaluate the ways in which geology, soils and mineral resources could impact, or be impacted by, a project. Tetra Tech has broad experience with geotechnical projects ranging from geotechnical investigation and materials testing to foundation design.

Hydrology/Water Quality Study. Water issues are of paramount consideration in southern California, and CEQA assessment requires that both water quality and water supply (particularly relative to groundwater) issues are evaluated. Tetra Tech is a leader in water analysis from an engineering perspective and from an environmental perspective. We have experts in water supply engineering (including groundwater extraction and water infrastructure design) and environmental evaluations. Tetra Tech can provide technical studies to evaluate and provide clear and concise assessments of any aspect of potential environmental effects from almost any imaginable project.

Noise Impact Study. Tetra Tech can evaluate and calculate noise and vibration levels expected during the construction and operation phases of a project. Construction noise impact evaluations consider the City Council 16 – 45 3/21/2023

PROPOSAL FOR
On-Call Environmental Services
RFP NO.: 21-105
City of Santa Ana 18 TETRA TECH
construction activity, type of equipment to be used, equipment operational time, and the expected levels of equipment noise and vibration. Operation noise impact evaluations consider noise generating operation activities, including those associated with increases in traffic. The calculations are used to evaluate noise and vibration levels for any identified sensitive receptors at their specific locations. Tetra Tech also evaluates the noise impacts from the proposed project in accordance with the local (and applicable) noise ordinance.

Utility Studies/Sewer Studies/Water Supply Assessment. Tetra Tech has supported various cities and water agencies throughout Orange County on Utility/Sewer Studies and Water Supply Assessments including Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Orange, Anaheim, Tustin, Newport Beach, Mesa Water District, South Orange County Wastewater Authority, Irvine Ranch Water District, and Moulton Niguel Water District. These services include the preparation of Water and Wastewater Master Plans and studies/analyses in support of infrastructure design projects.

Transportation. One of the primary ways a project causes impacts is through additional vehicular traffic during the construction phase or during the operation phase (after construction). Therefore, the various project components, such as parking supply, vehicular access, and project operation activities are all important. Tetra Tech can tailor a transportation technical study to the proposed project, considering both its construction requirements and anticipated operational activities in the context of its proposed location.

On-call Staff Consulting
Tetra Tech can provide the on-call specialized expertise and the depth of resources necessary to support the City in quickly resolving environmental and technical issues and challenges.

Draft Environmental Document
Level of Documentation. If the screencheck draft IS identifies no potentially significant impacts, then a Public Draft ND will be released to the public. If the screencheck draft IS identifies potentially significant impacts that can be reduced to less than significant levels with implementation of mitigation measures (in addition to the Best Management Practices), then a Public Draft MND will be released to the public.

Should the IS identify potentially significant impacts that cannot be fully reduced to less than significant levels through the implementation of mitigation measures, or should the City reject the acceptance of any mitigation measures, then significant residual impacts will occur and preparation of an EIR will be necessary.

Notices: Tetra Tech will prepare, as appropriate, the notices for the ND, MND, or EIR. A Notice of Intent and a Notice of Completion (NOC) will be prepared for the Public Draft ND or MND. After the Final ND or MND has been certified by the Lead Agency, a Notice of Determination (NOD) will be prepared.

Prior to the preparation of the Draft EIR, a Notice of Preparation will be prepared to serve as a scoping document for the project. When the Public Draft EIR is ready for publication, a Notice of Availability (NOA) and a NOC will be prepared. A NOA and a NOC will also be prepared for the Public Final EIR, when that document if ready for publication. After the Final EIR has been certified by the Lead Agency, a NOD will be prepared.

Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. When mitigation measures are required, the Final IS/MND or EIR will contain a Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program as an appendix that will be revised with each version of the document.

Document and Notice Production and Circulation: Tetra Tech will support the City in developing a mailing list for circulation of the public document. Tetra Tech has full in-house capabilities to produce the large number of documents potentially required to circulate the Public Draft documents, including the ability to produce large quantities of compact discs. Tetra Tech can provide full support in noticing for a public City Council 16 – 46 3/21/2023

document including, as appropriate, publication of notices in the newspaper, and posting of notices with the County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse.

Public Involvement/Outreach: Public involvement is a critical component of the CEQA process. We develop thoughtful public involvement programs, compile mailing lists, prepare public notices, distribute review documents, prepare outreach materials, develop web sites, and organize and facilitate public meetings. Tetra Tech has extensive experience facilitating public meetings for scoping and draft document hearings including preparing and conducting presentations.

Final Environmental Document: Upon receipt of public comments on the draft public document, Tetra Tech will organize and bracket each comment for easy review by the City. Tetra Tech will meet with the City to discuss the appropriate response to substantive comments. Tetra Tech will provide a draft response to each comment in a response to comments table and will incorporate text changes into an administrative final document, where necessary, in strikeout/double underline format for easy review. Tetra Tech will provide the response to comments table and administrative final document to the City for review and comment.

Comments on the administrative final document will be incorporated into a screencheck final document.

Upon final decision-maker action on the final document, Tetra Tech will prepare a Final ND, MND, or EIR documenting any changes to the document.

If Statements of Overriding Consideration and Findings of Fact are required for a project, Tetra Tech can prepare a draft version of this document for review and comment.

NEPA Documents
A NEPA document would be required if there is a federal nexus such as federal funding provided for a project. During project kick-off, Tetra Tech will meet with the City to determine if a NEPA document is required, and if so, at what level. The types of NEPA documents that may be needed include: Categorical Exclusion, EA/Finding of No Significant Impact, or EIS/Record of Decision. Below is a summary of the general tasks to be completed for an EA or EIS, in conjunction with the appropriate CEQA document:
 Conduct project startup
 Set up administrative record database
 Initial coordination with the City and NEPA Lead Agency  Prepare project description, purpose, need, and alternatives  Prepare Notice of Intent
 Conduct scoping meeting/public workshops, as needed

In addition, Consultant will be reimbursed for incurred ( actual) direct costs other than salary costs that are in the fee and cost proposal and identified in the fee and cost proposal, and in the executed Task Order. c.

Task Orders may be negotiated for a lump sum (Firm Fixed Price) or for specific rates of compensation, both of which must be based on the labor and other rates set forth in Consultant’ s Cost Proposal.
e. Reimbursement for transportation and subsistence costs shall not exceed the rates as specified in the approved Cost Proposal.
f. When milestone cost estimates are included in the approved Cost Proposal, Consultant shall obtain prior written approval for a revised milestone cost estimate from City before exceeding such estimate.

Subject: On-Call Environmental Services RFP# 21-105
Dear Mr. Thomas,
Providing the City of Santa Ana (City) with successful environmental consulting services requires an understanding of local regulatory compliance and resource issues —an understanding used thoughtfully and precisely to balance concurrent environmental analyses and project reviews.

Transportation Planning and Traffic Studies
Successful transportation planning, assessment, and design require in-depth understanding of evolving technology and an ever-changing regulatory landscape. Our certified transportation planners and professional engineers understand the latest transportation regulations, and implement best practices to help you develop or adapt projects to maximize your budgets and minimize potential impacts. We provide technical transportation planning, traffic impact assessment, engineering design, CEQA and NEPA expertise, quantifying project effects using the appropriate metrics and methods for project-specific concerns.

We help you tackle short- and long-term transportation
challenges, whether they relate to capital projects, programs, or long-range plans.

We prepare vehicle miles traveled (VMT) analysis per Senate Bill 743 and the recently updated CEQA guidelines, as well as, determine appropriate significance criteria for transportation impacts. Dudek’s transportation staff utilizes region and project specific analysis methodologies including travel demand models i.e., trip based model, tour based models), sketch models (i.e., CalEEMod, Sketch 7, UrbanFootprint, MXD), and spreadsheet models (i.e., VMT calculator, VMT estimator); research into regional or local transportation plans and policies; and, trip characteristic data and travel surveys (e.g., California Household Travel Survey), to calculate and estimate VMT. For significant VMT impacts found, Dudek can identify feasible mitigation measures such as Transportation Demand Management strategies (e.g., land use/location, site enhancements, parking policies, commute trip reductions programs) that could reduce VMT to meet regional goals or standards. Our experienced in-house transportation and air quality experts work handin-hand to guide projects through VMT analysis under Senate Bill 743, saving our clients time and money by providing multiple services under one roof.

Our transportation planners and engineers also assess traffic operations to verify efficient and safe mobility for all modes of motorized and non-motorized travel. Dudek uses the Highway Capacity Manual and Intersection Utilization Capacity (ICU) methodologies to analyze traffic operations on street networks. In addition, Dudek provides analysis of site access and circulation design as well as adequacy of on-site parking through parking demand studies.

Further supporting our transportation efforts is CR Associates (CRA). CRA has established itself over the past 10 years as a trusted transportation planning and engineering firm that is committed to planning transportation systems and identifying mobility improvements that create and support vibrant and sustainable communities.

Understanding of Need
Dudek has an effective and proven project approach. We manage projects to meet client and technical needs, using sound science and engineering principles, a focus on data quality, and careful management of budget and schedule milestones. Our approach to this, and every, project begins with solid project management and quality assurance/quality control processes. Our focus on these central tenets to performing environmental work has guided our expert technical project support for the past four decades.

Project Management Approach
The primary aspects of Dudek’s approach to project management include communication, managing adherence to the scope, keeping the progression of work on schedule, cost controls, and predicting and avoiding risk. Dudek prides itself on also integrating a fundamental focus on high -quality work, optimized resource allocation, sub-service provider management, and change management, as well as maintaining focus towards meeting both client and project goals and objectives.

The following sections describe the Dudek project management approach. Our approach focuses on the following five main components:

Project planning
Communication
Project execution
Project control
Quality control
The Dudek team is experienced in applying an adaptive management approach to adjust the level of detail or use of specific project management techniques and tools as necessary on as-needed task assignments.

Project Planning
Planning is a critical step in the successful management of every project. Dudek project managers begin the planning stage during the development of the project/task proposal and continue applying an adaptive approach throughout project execution. Planning considerations include the following:

Clarifying the project requirements and confirming the project goals and outcomes Communicating with the client, project stakeholders, and the sub-service provider team Iteratively estimating and refining resource requirements, level of effort, and cost Monitoring project budget and schedule
Integrating quality standards at each project stage
The Dudek approach applies these planning concepts throughout the project life cycle.

Communication
The most-effective project manager is one who facilitates the continual flow of information, data, instructions, and guidance among the City, Dudek team members, and sub-service providers. When DocuSign Envelope ID: FC7E9346- 8A22-4923-BD05-AA3CA0439841 City Council 16 – 108 3/21/2023
On-Call Environmental Services RFP# 21-105 13
maintaining this flow, we use resources efficiently and minimize wasteful rework. We achieve constant communication through:

Regularly calling or emailing the City’s key contact staff person to discuss project milestones, activities, and potential issues
Regularly discussing the project with key project staff to coordinate work efforts, monitor task completion, and review budget conformance; Dudek’s key staff have worked together closely for more than 10 years
Updating, as necessary, the project description, schedule, work progress reports, and inventories of available data so that all team members are aware of information that may affect their work products and schedules
Meeting with City staff at design milestones and other strategic junctures Diligently documenting issues, action items, and decisions Project Execution
The structure and flexibility of the Dudek team provides the ability to adapt resources and the execution approach to meet project needs throughout the project life cycle. The Dudek project execution approach is based on applying a common understanding of the goals and objectives to project -related decision making. Key aspects of the Dudek approach include identification of logistical, environmental, and regulatory factors with potential project impacts; evaluation and communication of critical issues; and focus on quality data collection, analysis, and reporting.

Project Controls
Dudek’s project managers monitor and control the project budget, schedule, and quality using a suite of tools from project inception to completion. Dudek project tools include real-time project budget management, schedule management software, and quality assurance/quality control checks. As the project advances, our project manager communicates with the team on a regular basis to evaluate project resource requirements, budget, and schedule.

Quality Control
Document Production
Dudek’s editorial team will work closely with our project manager to apply the highest standards of quality to all deliverables. For a typical Dudek work product, the following process will be used:

Technical Review. An appropriate technical reviewer will be assigned to all written work products. This step in the review process is focused on the legal adequacy and technical accuracy of all deliverables, and multiple reviewers may be used depending on the complexity of the document.

Editorial Review. Once the technical review is complete, Dudek editors will conduct an editorial review of deliverables. Prior to submittal to the City, each document will be formatted by Dudek’s publications staff.

Document Production. Dudek’s publications production team verifies the quality of each formatted document before publication. Dudek’s editorial team, in collaboration with the publications and information technology (IT) staffs, will produce and publish the Web versions of project deliverables.

The Dudek team understands and will leverage our experience regarding the unique requirements of the City’s On-Call Environmental Services contract, including the need for customized, comprehensive, and flexible capabilities that are responsive to any task order needs. We recognize the services could be applicable to any stage of the project development process, from concept development to construction compliance/post-construction restoration. Dudek also understands the services are likely to include both direct project implementation along with oversight and review responsibilities. The Dudek team’s diversity matches those needs in an unprecedented manner, including highly skilled and experienced practitioners.

Field Methods
Steps will be taken in the field, office, and laboratory to ensure that data are transferred accurately from collection to analysis to reporting. Sample documentation, including labeling and chain -of-custody forms, will be completed to ensure that data are transferred accurately to the laboratory, as applicable.

Notes will be taken in the field to double check chain-of-custody forms for accuracy. Laboratory reports will be checked for completeness. Final laboratory reports will be reviewed by the laboratory quality assurance manager or laboratory project manager for errors before release.

GIS Data Methods
Data collected or received by Dudek are cataloged in a master data intake database that is stored in a commonly accessible network location with other spatially related files and metadata files for management/control according to Dudek’s policy for GIS project data organization. Electronic deliverable data and data tables will be checked against the hard copy laboratory reports. All spatial data received will be reviewed for metadata and verified visually. Dudek-generated data will undergo quality control checks for completeness, accuracy, and precision, as well as appropriate metadata completeness.

Given our mid-size company make-up Dudek possesses the breadth and depth of resources necessary to fulfill the City’s contract demands, while also having a unique and balanced ability to adapt to any potential circumstances that may arise during the life of the contract. The Dudek team is able to and will rapidly respond to, mobilize, and implement any of Santa Ana’s project/program delivery objectives, and we are excited to be working in partnership with the City as part of this contract. To further support Santa Ana’s on-call environmental needs, we have also carefully selected a diverse team of subconsultants that share our passion for high quality, consistent, timely, and on-budget program delivery. Our contract history with each of our teaming partners will allow for a seamless and fully integrated consultant team that the City can confidently rely upon.

SCOPE OF SERVICES AND SCHEDULE
CEQA/NEPA Documents
In our 41-year history, Dudek has prepared more than 3,200 CEQA and NEPA documents. We have a wide range of experience preparing initial studies (ISs), negative declarations (NDs)/MNDs, and EIRs under CEQA as well as preparing Categorical Exclusions, environmental assessments, findings of no significant impact, and environmental impact statements (EISs) under NEPA.

NDs/MNDs
Task 1. Kickoff
Immediately following authorization to proceed on a project, the Dudek project management team will conference with City staff to discuss existing information, information gaps, the schedule, and the project description. We will discuss the latest practices to be followed in the preparation of the NDs/MNDs. Following the kickoff meeting with City staff, we will provide meeting notes. The Dudek project manager will immediately mobilize our staff and subconsultants, and distribute appropriate information to the team on which to base the environmental analysis for the project.

Task 2. Project Schedule
Dudek will submit a draft schedule at the time of submittal of a detailed work plan for a task order.

Immediately following the kickoff meeting, we will adjust the schedule, as necessary, to reflect our growing understanding of the project and to account for any potential changes in the scope. Schedules for NDs and MNDs should not exceed 1 year in length from initial kickoff conference to Council consideration of the ND/MND unless specific complications or project changes arise. Our designated project manager and principal in charge will commit our team to the agreed-upon schedule and submit a final schedule to the City.

Task 3. Preparation of the IS
Dudek will prepare an IS that will either lead to the adoption of an ND or MND, or require preparation of an EIR. An administrative draft IS will be submitted for staff review prior to finalizing. We will initiate the preparation of an IS by first drafting a detailed project description. The project description is essential to demonstrate a common understanding of the project being analyzed in the IS. The project description will be prepared using the information gathered in Task 1. Developing an accurate baseline setting is essential to serve as the foundation for the environmental analyses.

Following the collection and review of existing information and field surveys of the project area, we will synthesize the data into a detailed project description, accompanied by graphics and maps. We will submit a draft of the project description to the City for approval early in the process to verify that we share a common understanding of the project being evaluated. We understand that projects frequently change and develop, and are not always fully defined at the start of the environmental review process. Our staff will work closely with City staff to develop a working project description that provides maximum flexibility for the environmental analysis as we proceed through the environmental review process.

The administrative draft IS will include an evaluation of all of the environmental resources contained in the CEQA Appendix G environmental checklist. The analysis of each of the environmental disciplines will contain an inventory of the existing conditions, analysis of impacts, identification of the magnitude of the impacts as compared to the baseline, and the level of significance for each environmental discipline, as appropriate. Dudek will work closely with City staff to identify mitigation measures, if necessary and where appropriate, that will minimize impacts to levels below significance thresholds.

The impact analysis will be based on both quantitative and qualitative analysis, and may require the preparation of technical studies, or the synthesis of existing available studies to support the analysis.

We will submit the administrative draft IS/ND or IS/MND to the City for review. Following the review of the document by City staff and the incorporation of any comments and revisions requested, we will prepare a public draft IS/ND or IS/MND for public review.

Task 4. Transmittal of Public Review Draft IS/ND or IS/MND Dudek will make any final changes and revisions to the IS/ND or IS/MND as requested by City staff, and will reproduce and distribute the documents for public review. We will distribute the documents to organizations and individuals on a mailing list provided by the City, and prepare appropriate transmittal letters. Dudek will also prepare the notice of completion (for State Clearinghouse involvement) and notice of intent (NOI) to adopt an ND or MND. Dudek will distribute the documents to the approved mailing list in both hardcopy and CD format, as directed by City staff. We will also provide the City with electronic versions of the documents ready for web posting.

Task 5. Public Meetings/ Hearings
The project manager and key technical staff, as applicable, will be available to attend all public meetings and hearings throughout the CEQA process. We will also be ready to prepare materials and presentations for these meetings. These may include public community meetings and City Planning Commission and Council hearings on the project. We will also be available for team coordination meetings with City staff throughout the project.

Task 6. Final IS/ND or IS/MND
Dudek will compile all comments received during the public review period, annotate the comments, and evaluate comments’ relevance to addressing project impacts. While formal written responses to comments are not required for an ND or MND, prudent practice is to provide written responses for all IS/NDs and IS/MNDs. We will collaborate with City staff on appropriate strategies to consider the comments during the City Council deliberations on the project. Dudek staff will draft responses to comments for City staff review, and make any modifications upon receiving comments from staff.

Based on the comments on the draft IS/ND or IS/MND, Dudek will provide a technically sound, CEQAcompliant final IS/ND or IS/MND. The final IS/ND or IS/MND will include redline/strikeout text in an errata to the draft IS/ND or IS/MND.

We will submit the administrative final IS/ND or IS/MND to the City for review. Following the review of the administrative final IS/ND or IS/MND by City staff and the incorporation of any comments and revisions requested by the City, we will provide hardcopies and CDs of the final IS/ND or IS/MND, inclusive of the comments and responses to comments, as directed by the City.

Dudek will prepare a mitigation monitoring and report program for each proposed project that includes mitigation measures. The mitigation monitoring and report program will include all accepted mitigation measures, along with the following: the project period to which the measure applies (i.e., construction, operation, pre-/post-occupancy), future review or reporting requirements involved in a measure, the responsible party for implementing and enforcing the mitigation, requirements for monitoring by outside agencies, and monitoring and reporting frequency. Dudek will also compile the Administrative Record for the City as the project progresses so that we can turn over the files immediately upon project conclusion.

EIRs/EISs
Task 1. Kickoff
This task will be the same as outlined under Task 1 for NDs/MNDs.

Task 2. Project Schedule
Dudek will submit a draft schedule at the time of submittal of a detailed work plan for a task order.

Immediately following the kickoff meeting, we will adjust the schedule, as necessary, to reflect our growing understanding of the project and to account for any potential changes in the scope. Schedules for EIRs and EISs should not exceed 18 months in length from initial kickoff to City Council consideration of the Final EIR (or EIR/EIS), unless specific complexities or changes in the project description arise. Our designated project manager will commit our team to the agreed-upon schedule and submit a final schedule to the City.

Task 3. NOP/NOI
In the preparation of an EIR or EIR/EIS, the environmental documents only need to address potentially significant impacts. Thus, an IS may be used as part of the notice of preparation (NOP) or NOP/NOI process to narrow down the scope of the EIR or EIR/EIS to focus on pertinent issues of concern. Dudek will prepare an IS/NOP or IS/NOP/NOI (the latter if an EIS is required due to federal involvement) to initiate the environmental review process and to solicit comments from agencies, organizations, and interested individuals. The IS will be based on the environmental checklist in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. We will submit the administrative draft IS/NOP or IS/NOP/NOI to the City (and the federal lead agency) for review.

Task 4. Transmittal of the NOP or NOP/NOI
Dudek will make any final changes and revisions to the IS/NOP or IS/NOP/NOI requested by City (and federal agency) staff, reproduce and distribute the documents for public review to organizations and individuals on a mailing list provided by the City, and prepare appropriate transmittal letters. We will also prepare the notice of completion (for State Clearinghouse involvement). Dudek will distribute the documents to the approved mailing list in both hardcopy and CD format, as directed by City staff. We will also coordinate with federal agency staff for publication of the NOI in the Federal Register, provide draft notices for distribution to area newspapers, and provide electronic versions for posting to the City website.

Following the review of the administrative draft EIR or EIR/EIS by City staff (and the federal lead agency), Dudek will incorporate any final revisions and address any remaining comments as requested by the City (and potentially the federal lead agency). We will provide Spanish translations of the Executive Summary and any other summary documents (e.g., Readers Guide), which will be made available during public review. Padilla and Associates is on our team to assist with public outreach and Spanish translation of meeting notices.

Task 5. Scoping Meeting
Dudek will work with City staff to organize and participate in a scoping meeting to solicit public input on the scope of the EIR or EIR/EIS. We will work with City staff to determine the most appropriate format for the scoping meeting (i.e., open house or community presentation) and prepare all materials necessary for the scoping meeting (e.g., PowerPoint presentation, comment cards, sign-in sheets, handouts, poster boards). We will provide a translation of notices and materials into Spanish, if necessary.

Task 6. Administrative Draft EIR
The EIR or EIR/EIS will include a discussion of the existing physical and regulatory setting and impact analysis, including methodology and thresholds, mitigation measures, and residual impacts following the implementation of the mitigation measures. As described, the impact analysis will focus on the environmental issues that are determined to result in potentially significant impacts during the NOP or NOP/NOI and scoping processes. The impact analysis will be based on CEQA Guidelines Appendix G and the latest guidance from the City. The impact analysis will be based on both quantitative and qualitative analysis, and may require the preparation of technical studies or the synthesis of existing available studies to support the analysis.

The EIR or EIR/EIS will include all required content pursuant to CEQA/NEPA, including an alternatives analysis, cumulative impacts analysis, and an assessment of growth-inducing impacts. Dudek will work closely with the City (and as necessary, the federal lead agency) to identify and screen a reasonable range of alternatives for analysis in the EIR or EIR/EIS. These alternatives will be based on their ability to feasibly attain most of the project objectives while avoiding or substantially lessening the potentially significant environmental impacts of the proposed project. The cumulative impacts analysis will focus on the potential for environmental impacts from this project, along with other proposed and reasonably foreseeable projects in the area. The list of cumulative projects will be developed in coordination with City staff. The project’s contribution to the overall cumulative baseline will be evaluated and discussed, and cumulatively considerable impacts will be identified. We will also summarize the significant unavoidable impacts resulting from the project, and will identify any significant irreversible changes and irretrievable commitments of the environment, and will provide an explanation of issues found not to be significant during the IS process, as well as effects that were studied in the EIR that were determined to be less than significant.

We will submit the administrative draft EIR, or EIR/EIS, to the City (and federal lead agency) for review.

Following the review of the document by City staff (and federal lead agency) and the incorporation of any comments and revisions requested, we will prepare a public draft EIR for public review.

Tasks 7. Preparation and Transmittal of Public Review Draft EIR or EIR/EIS Dudek will work with City staff to secure a mailing list, and prepare the notice of availability and appropriate transmittal letters. Dudek will also prepare the notice of completion (for State Clearinghouse involvement) and post the notice of availability with the County Clerk. Dudek will distribute the documents to the approved mailing list in both hardcopy and CD format, as directed by City staff. Document distribution will use certified mail, regular mail, and FedEx or other form of distribution that can provide tracking records. We will also coordinate with federal agency staff for publication of the notice in the Federal Register, provide draft notices for distribution to area newspapers, and provide electronic versions suitable for posting to the City’s website.

Task 8. Public Hearing
This task would be the same as outlined for Task 5 under NDs/MNDs.

Tasks 9. Final EIR or EIR/EIS
Dudek will compile all comments received, and evaluate comments as to their relevance in addressing project impacts. We will collaborate with City staff on appropriate strategies to address the comments received. Dudek staff will draft responses to comments for City staff review, and make any modifications upon receiving comments from staff.

Based on the comments on the draft EIR or EIR/EIS, Dudek will prepare an administrative draft final EIR or EIR/EIS. The final EIR or EIR/EIS will include redline/strikeout text to highlight changes in the document, along with an errata chapter, and the comments and responses to comments.

Dudek will also prepare a draft mitigation monitoring and report program, which will identify the impacts, mitigation measures, timing of implementation, method of implementation, and responsible parties.

Following the review of the administrative final EIR or EIR/EIS by City staff (and the federal lead agency), Dudek will incorporate any revisions and address comments as requested by the City (and the federal lead agency). We will submit a Screencheck version of the Final EIR or EIR/EIS for final review, addressing any final revisions or comments. Dudek will compile the Administrative Record for the City as the project progresses so that we can turn over the files immediately upon project conclusion.

Dudek will also work with the City in the preparation of the findings of fact and statement of overriding considerations (if necessary). We will submit draft and final versions of these documents.
