A. Introduction
In accordance with the requirements of the RFP, the following pages provide a general introduction to and description of Michael Baker’s proposal and the firm’s general information.

Michael Baker International Firm Profile
Michael Baker is a full -service environmental, engineering, design, and construction management firm founded in 1940. We have had a strong California presence for over 80 years, with nearly 600 employees in 12 office locations throughout the state, including Los Angeles and Long Beach. The expertise of the firm includes environmental planning, including the preparation of environmental documentation in compliance with the requirements of CEQA; regulatory permitting; community planning; land use planning; habitat mitigation and restoration design; urban design; landscape architecture; transportation engineering; traffic; civil engineering; stormwater management, water quality design, and permitting; public outreach; surveying and mapping; geographic i nformation systems (GIS); and construction monitoring and management services. Michael Baker stands ready to continue demonstrating our planning expertise, staff resources, and capabi lity to perform services for the City’s Planning Division upon acceptance of this proposal.

Michael Baker has prepared numerous EIRs, IS/MNDs, and categorical exemptions pursuant to CEQA for many municipal clients in Southern California, including the City of Santa Clarita. Our experience as an environmental consultant to hundr eds of public agencies throughout California has given us exceptional environmental planning qualifications and a broad range of problem-solving abilities. Our in -house experts understand legal issues, best practices, and special considerations to develop innovative, appropriate, and defensible solutions.

Michael Baker has selected an in-house team of CEQA specialists to assist the City with review of technical studies and preparation of the EIR for the Project, including CEQA generalists and transportation planners, which will lead to efficiency and the ability to meet the needs of the City’s Planning Division.

Michael Baker has extensive experience working on controversial projects in politically active communities. In addition to Santa Clarita, examples include Los Angeles (e.g., Hollywood, downtown Los Angeles), Rolling Hills Estates, Pasadena, South Pasadena, Santa Monica, Signal Hill, Long Beach, and Arcadia. We have prepared CEQA documents for numerous projects in these areas. With this experience, we are highly adept at responding to comments, both in writing and during public meetings/hearings. Moreover, when working with such cities and communities, we regularly strategize with our clients on potential issues and develop approaches to minimize risks and potential pitfalls.

Project Understanding
The Project Site includes an approximately 24-acre property consisting of eight parcels (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 2836-076-016, -017, and -023 through -027; 2836 -006-029). Generally, the Project Site is located east of Railroad Avenue, north of Oakridge Drive, west of a Metropolitan Water District easement and the Circle J Ranch residential development, and south of an existing industrial development in the Saugus Community. The Project Site is roughly rectangular in shape and has been previously disturbed by past grading and installation of storm drain infrastructure; however, several oak trees are located in the northeastern corner of the Project Site. Accordi ng to the City’s 2008 Flood Zone map, the Pro ject Site is located in Flood Zone OA, which is a Special Flood Hazard Area; however, the 2021 Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Flood Insurance Rate Map (06037C0818G) identifies Special Flood Hazard Areas as occurring west of Railroad Avenue and identifies the Project Site as within Zone X, an area of minimal flooding. Portions of the Project Site are located within a very high fire severity hazard zone and liquefaction hazard zone.

We understand that an IS/MND was prepared for the subdivision and grading of the Project Site and installation of stormwater infrastructure (Master Case 06-286). The applicant is now proposing to construct four industrial buildings, comprising 26,000 square feet of office space and 406,509 square feet of warehouse space. The proposed buildings include the following:
- Building 1 (262,322 square feet and 55 feet tall)
- Building 2 (50,244 square feet and 50 feet tall)
- Building 3 (79,900 square feet and 50 feet tall)
- Building 4 (40,280 square feet and 50 feet tall)

October 2022 Page 2

In addition to the four buildings identified above, the Project would include 513 automobile parking spaces, 49 truck loading docks, and associated improvements for extending Springbrook Avenue north from Oak Ridge Drive. We understand that this proposed road way configuration would have Springbrook Avenue end in a cul -de-sac and would not connect through to the existing Springbrook Avenue except for emergency access.

Relevant Experience on Santa Clarita and/or Similar Projects and References Below is a brief d escription of Michael Baker’s recent experience in the City of Santa Clarita and experience with similar projects. These projects represent a limited set of our overall CEQA and environmental analysis experience. Additional qualifications and references ar e available upon request.

The project involved developing 96 detached residential condominiums on 21.44 acres of mostly undeveloped land previously used for oil extraction and storage. The proposed gated community would include homes ranging in size between 2,050 and 2,450 square feet and amenities, such as a pool, clubhouse, children’s playground, passive park, and a multipurpose trail.

Shadowbox Studios Project EIR (Ongoing)
Michael Baker is currently preparing an EIR for the Shadowbox Studios Project in the Newhall community of the City of Santa Clarita. The project proposes to develop a full -service film and television studio campus on a vacant 93.5 -acre site and would consist of approximately 476,000 square feet of sound stages; approximately 571,000 square feet of workshops, warehouses, and support uses; approximately 210,000 square feet of production and administrative offices; and approximately 37,500 square feet of catering and other specialty services. Upon completion, the campus would have an overall building area of approximately 1,294,500 square feet. The project comprises 19 sound stage buildings, a backlot café, a large support building, a parking structure, an office building, a catering building, a gym building, a mechanical building, and a car wash/detailing facility. Key issues to be addressed in the EIR include, but are not limited to, noise and transportation.

Rye Canyon Studios Project PEIR Addendum (2022)
Michael Baker prepared an addendum to the Program EIR prepared for the Rye Canyon Business Park Project, which the City of Santa Clarita City Council certified in 1996. The Approved Project proposed to reutilize the 377.1 -acre site, which contained both developed and undeveloped land.

Approximately 3.498 million square feet of business park uses, in addition to the approximately 502,000 square feet of development historically present on-site, were to be constructed for a combined on-site total of 4.0 million square feet of business park uses. A revision to the Approved Project was proposed to allow for the development of Rye Canyon Studios on 40 acres within the northern portion of the 377.1 -acre site. The Revised Project proposed to construct studio facilities, including sound stages and production offices, flex spaces and detached restrooms, and to renovate existing buildings on-site to accommodate two additional sound stages, for a total of 30 sound stages on the studio campus. To accommodate these proposed revisions, certain modifications to the Approved Project were necessary. The Revised Project wo uld involve the development of industrial buildings

October 2022 Page 4

(i.e., sound stages) that were proposed to be up to 55 feet in height and office buildings that were three to four stories wi th a maximum height of 70.5 feet. Key issues included aesthetics and biological resources.

West Creek Park Inclusive Play Area Project (2021)
Michael Baker prepared environmental documentation pursuant to the National Environmetnal Policy Act (NEPA) for the proposed project. The project proposed to rehabilitate an existing park facility (West Creek Park) located on the northwest side of the City in the Valencia community.

Specifically, the project would consist of the removal of approximately 5,200 square feet of existing play area and the construction of a new inclusive play area, which would provide recreation opportunities for disabled park users. The project would include shade canopies over all play elements; shaded seating walls and benches; fencing around the play area; rubberized surfacing on all levels; new landscaping surro unding the play area; associated signage; a new drinking fountain; and connections to existing walkways, parking, restrooms, and picnic shelters.

The project would expand West Creek Park’s existing play area into an existing turf area within the park without removing any trees or parking spaces.

Canyon Country Community Center and Park IS/MND (2017)
Michael Baker prepared an IS/MND for the Canyon Country Community Center project, which opened for operation in October 2021. The project involved the demolit ion of three commercial buildings and construction of an approximately 25,000-square-foot community center and park improvements, including open play areas, water features, an outdoor market/mercado, an event stage, parking, off -site street improvements, and a stormwater infiltration system. The new community center building includes a multipurpose room, gymnasium, classrooms, catering and teaching kitchen, fitness room, staff offices, a reception lobby, and supporting uses such as restrooms and storage areas. The new facility also features an events garden, group picnic areas, a basketball half-court, and a perimeter trail.

Jobs Creation Overlay Zone IS/ND (2019)
Michael Baker prepared an IS/ND for a proposed Jobs Creation Overlay Zone (JCOZ), which est ablished new procedures for permitting office and industrial development projects that exceed the established heights standards for their underlying zone. The JCOZ replaced an existing conditional use permit requirement with an appealable, director -level discretionary review process for office buildings up to 5 stories and industrial buildings up to 55 feet in height. The IS/ND focused on aesthetic impacts that can reasonably be expected to result from the project, which may encourage development of buildings taller than those currently requiring a conditional use permit.

Westfield Valencia Town Center Patios Connection (Costco) Project IS/MND (2020) Michael Baker prepared an IS/MND for the Westfield Valencia Town Center Patios Connection Project, on the eastern portion of the Valencia Town Center development, at the intersection of Valencia Parkway and Citrus Street. The project would demolish approximately 128,558 square feet of retail space and construct approximately 153,930 square feet of new retail anchor space to be occupied by Costco. The project would also develop 2,600 square feet of outdoor patio space, a new fueling station with up to 30 pumps, a 34,185 -square-foot health and fitness center, a 32,000 -square-foot cinema, and 7,434 square feet of new retail space. At buildout, the project would result in a net increase of 101,129 square feet of retail space, bringing the Westfield Valencia Town Center to 1,066,835 square feet of total shopping center uses.

Michael Baker is preparing an IS/MND for the modernization of the Coca-Cola Bottling Plan in the City of Downey. The project proposes to demolish approximately 99,125 square feet of existing structures and 65,000 square feet of pavement in order to construct a new 90,061 -square-foot industrial tilt -up building on the northwestern portion of the site. Further, the project proposes circulation, parking, and landscaping improvements within the site. The new structure would have a maximum height of 42 feet and 7 inches and would be rectangular in shape with a contemporary design using a variety of building materials and accents, such as painted tilt -up concrete wall panels (painted in complementary shades of grey), aluminum and glass entry doors with a storefront design, painted overhead sectional doors (i.e., loading docks), and faux wood accents on the building’s southwest and western elevations. The modernization of the Coca-Cola campus would result in an increase of 83 parking spaces and 43 trailer stalls (resulting in a facility total of 553 parking spaces for cars and 223 parking spaces for trailers). Technical studies performed for this project include a health risk assessment (HRA); air quality, GHG emissions, and energy assessment; noise assessment; cultural resources assessment; and vehicle miles traveled analysis.

Signal Hill Industrial Business Park Project IS/MND, City of Signal Hill (2021)

B. Plan of Study/Scope of Work
Approach
Our approach to providing environmental consulting services for the Commerce Center Project and assisting the City of Santa C larita in completing the CEQA process for the Project is to first and foremost work collaboratively with City staff to produce a CEQA document that is legally defensible, aids the City in the decision-making process, and meets the City’s needs in terms of quality, budget, and schedule. To accomplish these objectives, our approach is founded on the following principles:
1) Draw upon our extensive experience preparing CEQA documents for the City of Santa Clarita and for similar projects in other cities to identify and address the key issues early in the process to prevent delays and setbacks. 2) Prepare technically adequate and complete environmental analyses. 3) Create reader-friendly CEQA documents that use a combination of narrative, figures, photographs, maps, tables, and other visual aids to help the reader understand the environmental consequences of the Project. 4) Establish and achieve milestone/critical path Project schedules. 5) Openly communicate with City staff as we complete milestones and strive to exceed the City’s expectations.

Based on our preliminary review of the Project, our knowledge of the potential environmental issues in the City and the Project area, and our experience with similar industrial/warehouse projects and the nearby Shadowbox Studios Project less than one mile south of the Project Site, we agree with the City’s preliminary assumption that an EIR is the appropriate CEQA document for the Project. This assumption will be confirmed through the preparation of an Initial Study, which will identify which resource areas would have potentially significant environmental effects as a result of Project implementation. Thus, our proposed scope of work below is for the preparation of an EIR and third-party review of the supporting technical studies prepared by the applicant’s consultants.

For each technical report, a summary comment matrix will be prepared. Each review will validate the appropriateness of methodologies and results, completeness of the impact analyses, and adequacy of any proposed mitigation measures and/or permit requirements (if applicable). An electronic copy of each review matrix and/ or redlined technical report will be submitted to the City. Our scope assumes an initial review of each report and a brief review of the applicant’s consultants’ responses to our comments and revised (final) reports. If additional reviews are required, or if substantial Project modifications (requiring the report to be updated) occur, this additional review can be accommodated on a time-and-materials basis.

Subtask 3a Output
- Michael Baker will submit an electronic copy of the review matrix and/or redlined technical report for each of the technical reports identified above.

Subtask 3b: Preparation of an Evacuation Study (Optional) Since a wildfire study has not been completed, Michael Baker will conduct a wildfire event evacuation study for the Project as an optional task. The purpose of the evacuation study is to address Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines regarding wildland fire hazards and adopted emergency evacuation plans. Michael Baker will complete the following tasks related to the assessment of wildf ire event evacuation times both without and with the proposed Project:
• Estimate Evacuation Vehicle Demand: Michael Baker will contact the City to obtain socioeconomic data for the existing residential areas surrounding the Project Site. The critical information to be collected includes number of households and household automobile ownership information for existing conditions in the residential area that will share available evacuation routes with Project employees and visitors. Evacuation vehicle demand fo r the Project will be based on estimated employee and visitor populations that will be converted to vehicles. The exact definition of the study area, as well as the boundary of the area that would likely be evacuated along with the Project in the event of an emergency fire evacuation, will be defined through discussions with City staff and the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) (Battalion 6). • Identify Evacuation Roadway System, Capacities, and Routing Assignments: Michael Baker will review current evacuation procedures and policies with LACoFD to confirm the network of roadways that would comprise the principal evacuation routes serving the study area in the event of an emergency evacuation. It is assumed that the evacuation routes that could potentially be used by Project employees and visitors will include both Railroad Avenue and Via Princessa-Wiley Canyon Road. Other key streets, such as Oak Ridge Drive and others in the surrounding residential areas, will also likely need to be included. Michael Baker will review the definition of the evacuation roadway network with LACoFD. The evacuation roadway network characteristics, including number of travel lanes (by direction) and intersection configurations, will be documented based on a field review of the study area.

Michael Baker will evaluate the appropriate traffic capacities for evacuation routes leading out of the Project study area based on these characteristics. The evacuation roadway network will be graphically displayed on a map that identifies the anticipated

October 2022 Page 10

evacuation routing for the Project and the surrounding residential areas. Each roadway segment, or "link," will be defined by traffic operational characteristics, such as anticipated operating speed, capacity, the distance between intersec tions, and other features, which will influence its operation in an evacuation. It is assumed that at least one travel lane will be reserved for use by emergency vehicles. The routing of evacuating vehicles will be determined and assigned to the available evacuation routes between each subdivision and the final route(s) leading out of the study area. • Analysis of Notification and Response Time: Michael Baker will meet with LACoFD representatives to review the emergency notification procedures and notificatio n time estimates based on past emergency evacuation experiences in the northern Los Angeles County area. These notification time estimates are the conditional probability distribution describing the most likel y “receive warning” response for the general public. The distribution describes the cumulative percentage of the population or households receiving the warning as time progresses from the initial issuance of the evacuation order. The distribution will be patterned after similar notification time estimates developed for other wildfire event emergency evacuation plans. Michael Baker will assess and estimate the probability distribution of public response during the various events preceding the evacuation. These distributions apply to the responses by vehicle-owning households and commercial development in the study area. The distribution subdivides the evacuation action into significant sequences of events and provides appropriate statistical relationships to describe the time required to accomplish each action. The two principal events included in the mobilization time are receiving warning and preparation to leave home. While an emergency evacuation notification could occur at any time of the day, the time period that would produce the highest number of evacuating vehicles with Project would be a weekday daytime evacuation event when the Project employees and visitors would be on-site.
• Estimate Evacuation Time: An assessment of evacuation time will be made for the most likely wildfire scenario to be defined by LACoFD. Evacuation times will be estimated for each evacuation subarea. A separate evacuation time estimate will be evaluated for the existing development conditions and development conditions with the Project added. This set of data will be presented in both tabular form and on the evacuation route maps. Points of congestion, as well as the travel times on each roadway link and potential locations for manual traffic control, will be identified.

A technical report will be prepared to present the findings of the evacuation time assessment and include the methodology used to make the estimates, as well as the essential assumptions formulated to arrive at those assessments. The documentation will also report on the impact that the Project will have on the time needed to evacuate the study area.

Upon receipt of comments, Michael Baker will make appropriate revisions to the report as long as the revisions do not involve additional analysis not covered in the original scope of work.

Michael Baker has included five hours for meeting and coordination time with the City and LACoFD during the preparation of the study.

Subtask 3b Output
- Michael Baker will submit an electronic copy of the draft report for review by City staff and LACoFD. - Michael Baker will submit an electronic copy of the final report to the City and LACoFD.

Task 4: Initial Study and Scoping Meeting
Subtask 4a: Preparation of an Initial Study
Using a combination of the City’s Initial Study checklist format and the Environmental Checklist included in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, Michael Baker will prepare an administrative draft Initial Study for review by City staff. The Initial Study will assist in providing information to the public in conjunction with the Notice of Preparation (NOP), and in screening out potential environmental topics for which the Project has no or less-than-significant impacts. The Initial Study will be based on information and analysis derived from existing technical reports, Project plans, online records searches, aerial review, and City-provided information. Michael Baker will prepare the Initial Study and submit it to City staff for review. Michael Baker will respond to City comments on the Initial Study and submit the final Initial Study, suitable for publishing on the City’s website, in conjunction with release of the NOP. All environmental topics with impacts determined as potentially significant will be further analyzed in the EIR; all other impacts determined to be less than significant or no impact will b e summarized in the Effects Not Found to be Significant Section of the EIR.

Subtask 4a Outputs
- Michael Baker will submit an electronic copy (Word format) of the administrative draft Initial Study for review by City staff. - Michael Baker will submit an electronic copy (Word format and PDF) of the final Initial Study for publication on the City’s website.

Task 7: Adoption and Certification Process
Subtask 7a: Preparation of Facts and Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations Michael Baker will assist the City in preparing the CEQA Facts and Findings, pursuant to Section 15091 of the CEQA Guidelines. For each significant Project effect identified in the Final EIR, one or more of the following findings will be provided, with a brief rationale for each finding:
1) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR.
2) Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. 3) Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or Project alternatives identified in the Final EIR.

If any significant and unavoidable impacts are identified in the Final EIR, Michael Baker will prepare a Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC), pursuant to Section 15093 of the CEQA Guidelines. We will work closely with City staff to prepare the SOC as it requires a balance of economic, legal, social, technological or other Project benefits against the unavoidable environmental consequences, in the consideration of whether to approve the Project. The SOC will express the specific reasons to support Project approval, despite the occurrence of unavoidable significant effects.

Michael Baker will address all City comments and submit a pro ofcheck iteration of the revisions to the Findings and SOC document to the City for final approval.

D. Program Management
Control of the Project schedule and Project costs is an important element of contract administration. Michael Baker will info rm the City as soon as any event occurs that would affect the established budget or Project timeline. Michael Baker’s adherence to the origi nal scope of work, timeline, and budget is achieved through timely, open/honest, and continuous communications with City staff.

Our project managers receive a Project Management Report (PMR) on a weekly basis. This PMR identifies budget status by task, including a comparison of the actual project cost to -date against the approved cost budget. In addition, project managers are automatically notified by our accounting system when inception-to-date costs approach and exceed the forecast cost budget to alert project managers of a potential budget issue.

Our Project Manager will submit an invoice on a monthly basis. Each invoice will identify percentage complete and budget tracking by task.

A progress report will also be submitted with each invoice to summarize the work and milestones achieved during the invoicing period.

Between the invoice and the progress report, we provide the City’s project manager a means to verify that our billing matches the efforts that have been conducted and work products that have been submitted during the invoicing period.

As required in the RFP, the following page includes a timeline chart of the schedule identified in Section C, Schedule, of this proposal.
