Dear Robert,
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance and review of existing technical studies for the proposed Mission Hills - Como residential project. EPD Solutions is excited to collaborate with your team on this project.
Based on our review of the materials provided by the City, our experience and understanding of the environmental issues associated with the proposed project, it is anticipated that all environmental impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level. The project is also consistent with the existing land use designation and zoning, and is further permitted through State Density Bonus Law, which allows development beyond base zoning standards while maintaining consistency with applicable General Plan and zoning designations. EPD agrees with the City’s assessment that preparation of a Section 15183 Checklist would be an appropriate CEQA compliance path.
EPD understands that the required technical studies have already been prepared, and that the scope of services will be limited to review of these existing studies and preparation of the CEQA documentation.
Based on our experience with projects in the City, EPD estimates that the CEQA process, including review of existing technical studies and preparation of the Section 15183 Checklist, would take approximately 9 weeks to complete after receiving the notice to proceed, as reflected in the proposed schedule below.
EPD remains flexible and prepared to adjust the schedule as needed to align with the City's requirements and project needs.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
EPD Solutions, Inc.

METHOD OF APPROACH
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is located southeast of the intersection of Como Street and Mission Trail in the City of Wildomar, encompassing approximately 12.1 acres across APNs 368-030-007, 368-030-055, and 368-030- 056. The project site is currently vacant and undeveloped, with no existing structures or infrastructure.
Surrounding land uses consist of a mix of residential, commercial, and vacant undeveloped properties.
The site is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) under the City of Wildomar General Plan and is currently zoned Rural Residential (R-R).
The proposed development includes a 51-lot single-family residential subdivision, including 6 very low income, 6 moderate income, and 3 unrestricted ADUs, utilizing the affordable ADUs for a density bonus.
The project would include four plan types with a maximum of two stories per unit. The project also includes associated improvements such as landscaping, private roadways, parking, common and private open space areas, and utility and stormwater infrastructure. The project will require discretionary approvals from the City of Wildomar, including a Tentative Tract Map, Design Review, and Density Bonus approval.
PROJECT APPROACH
The project is consistent with the City of Wildomar General Plan and is anticipated to qualify for streamlined CEQA review pursuant to Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines, tiering from the City’s General Plan EIR and its adopted mitigation measures. The General Plan EIR identifies and requires preparation of the supporting technical studies necessary to demonstrate consistency with its analysis and mitigation framework, including the studies identified in this scope of work.
It is our understanding that the technical studies required for the Project, including those needed to demonstrate consistency with the General Plan EIR, have already been prepared. Accordingly, the proposed scope of work will focus on reviewing the existing technical studies for CEQA adequacy and consistency with the General Plan EIR, and incorporating them into the Section 15183 Checklist.
Preparation of the Section 15183 Checklist and review of the existing technical studies will be conducted concurrently to streamline and expedite the schedule. In addition, the City of Wildomar requires courtesy consultation with consulting tribes, which includes a 30-day informal consultation period. EPD will prepare and distribute the informal consultation letters to the consulting tribes on behalf of the City.
SCOPE OF WORK
TASK 1. PROJECT INITIATION
Task 1.1. Project Kickoff Meeting
Upon receipt of the signed contract, EPD will facilitate a kickoff meeting with the project team and Lead Agency staff. During this meeting, EPD will define the project scope, objectives, and key deliverables to ensure alignment among all participants.
Team members will be introduced, and their roles and responsibilities will be clarified. The project timeline, milestones, and dependencies will be reviewed to provide a clear roadmap for the project. 581
May 6, 2026 - Mission Hills - Como - Page 5
Communication protocols, including the frequency of meetings, reporting mechanisms, and escalation procedures, will be established to ensure effective coordination.
EPD will identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies to address them.
Key topics to be discussed during this meeting may include the following:
1. Outline communication protocols
2. Refine project schedule
3. Confirm existing and past uses of the site
4. Review of project design, including, but not limited to:
• Preliminary plans and design specifications
• Phasing information
• Construction and operational parameters
• Discuss any other pertinent information that would guide the project description
5. Obtain technical studies completed for the project; and
6. Discuss the preparation of new technical studies, if any, along with any data requirements/needs for initiating technical analyses.
7. Identify relevant community and agency stakeholders.
We will also confer with the City of Wildomar during this early process to discuss the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. This upfront evaluation of impacts will allow the City of Wildomar to consider project design features that would minimize environmental impacts.
EPD Staff will work closely with City of Wildomar’s Staff to ensure the project follows the CEQA pathway that best suits the project. During this collaboration with City of Wildomar’s Staff, EPD will identify any opportunities for increased efficiencies in the CEQA process.
Task 1.2. Project Description
Prior to the initiation of the environmental document, EPD will develop a detailed project description.
One of the keys to successful CEQA compliance is a clear definition of the project and its components. The project description will be drafted to describe the full scope of project improvements, implementation schedule and phasing, infrastructure requirements, construction process, and any offsite improvements required for implementation and operation of the proposed project, including maps depicting the project footprint.
The budget for this task assumes that the City will supply EPD with all necessary georeferenced and projected technical files and plans. The draft Project Description will be circulated to the City of Wildomar for review and comment. One round of revisions is assumed.
TASK 2. REVIEW OF EXISTING TECHNICAL STUDIES
EPD will review the existing technical studies for CEQA adequacy. The following applicant prepared studies will be provided to EPD for review:
• Preliminary Hydrology Report
• Preliminary WQMP
582
May 6, 2026 - Mission Hills - Como - Page 6
• Phase I ESA
• Geotechnical Investigation
• Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, and Energy analyses
• General Biological Assessment and Focused Burrowing Owl Surveys • VMT Screening Memo
EPD will examine each study's methodologies, data sources, and conclusions, and will identify any disparities in the data and analyses presented. The project description, impact significance thresholds and mitigation measures will be reviewed to determine if they are adequate pursuant to CEQA.
EPD will cross-reference the project description, onsite and offsite improvements, findings and recommendations across different studies to ensure consistency. Upon completion of the initial peer review for CEQA adequacy, EPD will submit comments to City of Wildomar staff and the Applicant team, listing additional information required or necessary revisions to the studies. With City of Wildomar permission, EPD can coordinate directly with the Applicant’s subconsultants to clarify comments and expedite the review process.
Upon receiving updated studies, EPD will conduct a second adequacy review and submit a second set of comments, if necessary.
TASK 3. CEQA 15183
Task 3.1. Administrative Draft - 15183
Because the proposed project is consistent with the City of Wildomar’s General Plan, the project is expected to qualify for an exemption from CEQA pursuant to Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines, which stipulates that a project that is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. This path streamlines review by tiering from environmental impact findings made in the General Plan and does not require a public review period or AB 52 consultation. However, based on our experience with similar projects within the City, it is anticipated that courtesy consultation with consulting tribes will be conducted. This would include preparation of informal consultation letters, to be drafted and distributed by EPD on behalf of the City of Wildomar.
Completing the analysis pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 would also focus the effort on a narrow range of potentially significant impacts, including those which:
• Are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project would be located • Were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior EIR on the Zoning Action, General Plan, or community plan with which the project is consistent;
• Are potentially significant off-site impacts and cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the general plan, community plan or zoning action; or • Are previously identified significant effects which, because of substantial new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR.
583
May 6, 2026 - Mission Hills - Como - Page 7
To evaluate the project pursuant to the above, EPD will prepare an Initial Study (IS) checklist for the project addressing each of the environmental resource areas and through this effort evaluate the applicability of Section 15183 to the project. EPD will apply the applicable standard environmental checklist to assess any potential environmental impacts.
An administrative draft of the 15183 Checklist and Justification will be provided to the City and with the City’s permission, to the project team for review. One round of review is assumed.
Task 3.2. Screencheck Draft - 15183
Comments will be incorporated into an updated Screencheck Draft 15183 Checklist and distributed to the City of Wildomar for review. One round of review for the City of Wildomar is assumed.
Task 3.3. Public Draft - 15183
Section 15183 does not require public circulation of the CEQA document, however, EPD will prepare a Public Draft 15183 Checklist for inclusion in the City of Wildomar’s staff report. As part of this task, EPD will also prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the project, which will incorporate the General Plan EIR mitigation measures applicable to the project. One round of review is assumed.
TASK 4. MEETINGS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS
Task 4.1. Meetings
To effectively manage the costs of the project, EPD will attend up to 3 hours of conference calls or briefings to update the City on upcoming deliverables and discuss any potential issues that may impact the scope of work for the approximately 9-week duration of the project. EPD will draft agendas in advance of these meetings and deliver minutes via email to the City of Wildomar. The minutes will identify action items and the responsible party to implement said action item. In addition to standing meetings, EPD will be available to the City staff to answer questions, address concerns, or to clarify issues as they arise. If the CEQA schedule extends beyond 9-weeks, an additional budget will likely be required.
Task 4.2. Public Hearings
EPD will attend public hearings held for the proposed Project. These hearings are anticipated to include one Planning Commission hearing. The EPD project manager and the principal-in-charge will be prepared to answer technical questions related to the EIR and relevant comments on the CEQA document that may raised during the public hearings. This task includes hearing attendance, pre-hearing City meetings, and preparation performed by support staff.
TASK 5. CEQA PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
EPD’s CEQA project manager will be Sam Kelley, Assistant Planner, and the principal-in-charge will be Konnie Dobreva, Vice President of Environmental Planning. The CEQA project manager will coordinate closely with the City of Wildomar staff to ensure that the CEQA document and associated documents delivered to the City of Wildomar are legally defensible, accurate, and useful to decision makers considering the approval of the project. The project manager will also coordinate with City of Wildomar staff throughout the process not only to streamline the CEQA process, but to avoid or anticipate any changes that could result in delays.
584
May 6, 2026 - Mission Hills - Como - Page 8
The project manager will be the key contact for the City of Wildomar, and will be responsible for managing (1) CEQA document task scheduling and assignment, management of resources, monitoring of costs, and schedule adherence; (2) consultation and coordination with local and state agencies relative to the environmental document and the environmental review process; (3) coordination and communications with the City of Wildomar staff to ensure that their policies, procedures, and any applicable codes are complied with and, where applicable, are incorporated into the CEQA document; and (4) ensuring that the environmental review process and the CEQA document satisfy the statutes and guidelines of CEQA and CEQA procedures
This scope of work assumes ongoing project management at an estimated 1 hour/week for the Project Manager and 1 hour/month for the principal-in-charge for the duration of the schedule as estimated in this proposal, excluding public review periods.

CITY OF WILDOMAR
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
CONSENT CALENDAR
Agenda Staff Report # 1.18
Meeting Date: May 13, 2026
SUBJECT: Bundy Canyon Road Rehab Project and Slurry Seal Project (CIP 057-3, 058-3) Contract Items
SUBMITTED BY: Jason Farag, Public Works Director/City Engineer PREPARED BY: Cameron Luna, Associate Engineer
ACTION:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Menifee for resurfacing Scott Road/Bundy Canyon Road as part of the City of Wildomar's Bundy Canyon Road Rehab Project (CIP 057-3).
2. Authorize the Public Works Director to execute a three-party Escrow Agreement with Citizens Business Bank and Project Contractor All American Asphalt, as allowed under Public Contract Code Section 22300.
3. Approve a supplemental appropriation of $100,000 in expenditures and increase in revenue budget for Fund 507 to allocate available grant funds to CIP 057-3.
SUMMARY:
Approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Menifee as part of the City of Wildomar's Bundy Canyon Road Rehab Project and Slurry Seal Project (CIP 057-3/058-3), authorize the Public Works Director to execute a three-party Escrow Agreement, and approve a budget update for CIP 057-3.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Wildomar administers a Road Rehabilitation and Maintenance Program and a Slurry Seal Program. These programs are implemented as annual projects in the City’s approved Five-Year Capital Improvement Program as CIP 057 and CIP 058. On February 10, 2026, the City awarded a construction contract to All American Asphalt for the current fiscal year's road rehab and slurry seal projects (CIP 057-3 and CIP 058-3).
DISCUSSION:
Item 1 – Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Menifee In January 2026, the City of Menifee (Menifee) contacted the City of Wildomar (Wildomar) regarding a cooperative effort for possible inclusion of the rehabilitation their portion of Scott Road/Bundy Canyon Road, from Sunset Avenue to Murrieta Road, under Wildomar's CIP 057-3/058-3 Contract. The Wildomar Project Area and the Menifee Project Area together form a continuous pavement rehabilitation corridor along Scott Road and Bundy Canyon Road serving both jurisdictions. To allow for the Wildomar CIP Project to resurface the Menifee portion of Scott Road/Bundy Canyon Road, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Cities has been proposed to identify roles and responsibilities. A copy of the proposed 588
MOU is included as Attachment A. As outlined in the MOU, Menifee will agree to pay for their portion of street resurfacing within its jurisdictional boundary upon completion of the improvements. After completion of the Scott Road/Bundy Canyon Road resurfacing improvements, each agency will be responsible to maintain their respective portions of the public street. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the MOU with the City of Menifee. Upon execution, Menifee Staff has communicated with Wildomar their plan to take the MOU to their May 20th City Council meeting for final approval.
Item 2 - Escrow Agreement
When processing progress payments to a construction contractor, the City withholds 5% from each progress payment as a Retention, consistent with the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction. The retention acts as a security to address any claims made by any subcontractor working on a project. After acceptance of a project, if no claims or liens are filed by a subcontractor within 30 days of acceptance, the City releases the accumulated retention to the contractor. At the expense of the Contractor (AAA), Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code provides that the contractor may request and the owner (City) shall make payment of retentions earned directly to the escrow agent (Citizens Business Bank). At the expense of the contractor, the contractor may direct the investment of the payments into securities and the contractor shall receive the interest earned on the investments upon the same terms provided for in that code section for securities deposited by the contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the construction contract, the contractor shall receive from the escrow agent all securities, interest, and payments received by the escrow agent from the owner, pursuant to the terms of that code section. AAA has exercised their right to have retention paid to an escrow account and has submitted a three-party Escrow Agreement to facilitate these payments. The agreement is included as Attachment B. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Public Works Director to sign the Escrow Agreement on behalf of the City.
Item 3 – Budget Adjustment
In December 2025, the City was notified it would be awarded $375,000 in grant funding under the CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Grant Program for utilizing Asphalt Rubberized Hot Mix (ARHM) on CIP Projects. At the February 10, 2026, City Council Meeting, the original Project budget at the time of contract award was approved without these grant funds included. On March 6, 2026, Staff received a Notice to Proceed from CalRecycle that it could now incur reimbursable costs in accordance with the grant guidelines. Thus, Staff is now requesting the City Council approve the allocation of the CalRecycle grant funds into the project budget, in the amount of $100,000 from Fund No. 507. City Staff estimates around 6,500 Tons of ARHM will be placed as part of CIP 057-3. By participating in the grant program, the City is eligible to receive a credit of $15/ton for an estimated total of $97,500 from CalRecycle for using ARHM.
The updated budget detail sheet for CIP 057-3 is included as Attachment C.
ACCOUNT CODE:
Project: CIP 057-3

CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
CONSENT CALENDAR
Agenda Staff Report # 1.19
Meeting Date: May 13, 2026
SUBJECT: Professional Service Agreement with Albert A. Webb & Associates (WEBB) for planning and environmental services for creation of the Old Town Specific Plan
SUBMITTED BY: Robert Flores, Community Development Director PREPARED BY: Robert Flores, Community Development Director ACTION:
1. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Albert A. Webb & Associates (WEBB) in the amount not to exceed $459,225 for planning and environmental services for the preparation of the city-initiated Old Town Specific Plan; and
2. Approve a supplemental appropriation for Fund 110 (Cannabis DA) in the amount of $459,225.
SUMMARY:
The Professional Services Agreement with WEBB will provide planning and environmental services for the preparation of a city-initiated specific plan for the Old Town area, helping achieve one of City Council's 2026 goals: Begin work on historic Old Town Specific Plan.
BACKGROUND:
In 2012, the City of Wildomar undertook a grant-funded visioning process to identify a community center. Two (2) concepts were considered in the northwest area of the City, including an “Old Town” concept, located within a few blocks from Palomar Street (Old Highway 395) and Wildomar Trail (previously Central Avenue) and the “West Wildomar” Concept, located further north near the intersection of Corydon and Mission Trail.
This effort culminated with a joint City Council and Planning Commission study session on January 23, 2013, and subsequent Council meeting for approval of the final vision plan.
Additionally, in anticipation of a future specific plan as envisioned by the General Plan, the City established an overlay that controls current development under several guiding principles until such time that a specific plan is adopted. The City’s municipal code codifies the “Historic and Downtown District” (HDD) Overlay Zone (or overlay), under Sections 17.25.030,
17.25.040, and 17.59.040 (adopted September 10, 2025). The main purpose of the HDD overlay zone is to establish a preliminary boundary for an area envisioned as the Wildomar Old Town area. The overlay also establishes guiding principles for interim application to current development projects and guidance for a future specific plan.
To help move this effort forward, staff prepared a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) for Professional Services for development of the specific plan for the Old Town area. Proposals 601
were solicited through the City’s PlanetBids account from December 23, 2025 through January 30, 2026.
DISCUSSION:
Proposals were received timely from six (6) firms that were reviewed by Planning and Community Development staff.
The six firms that submitted proposals were:
1. Albert A. Webb & Associates;
2. Michael Baker International;
3. RICK Engineering Company;
4. MIG;
5. Kimley Horn; and
6. Precision Civil Engineering, Inc.;
A staff review panel evaluate the proposals based on specific evaluation criteria included in the RFP, including but not limited to:
Firm and project team qualifications;
Understanding of the project (specific plan effort);
Engagement program;
Environmental plan;
Project timing; and
Fee structure and total cost, etc.
Based on the results of the panel’s evaluations, WEBB was determined to be the best qualified firm to perform the services. WEBB's total cost in their proposal is $459,225 for the complete project.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement between City of Wildomar and Albert A. Webb & Associates.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Professional Services Agreement with WEBB for planning and environmental services is in the amount of $459,225. A supplemental appropriation is requested for Fund 110 to cover the cost associated with this effort and this agreement.
The Development Agreement Fund 110 is for fees collected from developers which have an agreement with the City which confers private benefits to them. The money from the fees are intended to be used to offset the private benefits by funding commensurate public benefits.

OPERATIVE PROVISIONS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants made by the Parties and contained here and other consideration, the value and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

All other proposal terms are excluded and of no force or effect. In the event of any conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(b) Schedule of Performance. The Services shall be completed pursuant to the schedule specified in Exhibit “A.” Should the Services not be completed pursuant to that schedule, the Service Provider shall be deemed to be in Default of this Agreement. The City, in its sole discretion, may choose not to enforce the Default provisions of this Agreement and may instead allow Service Provider to continue performing the Services.
SECTION 3. ADDITIONAL SERVICES.
Service Provider shall not be compensated for any work rendered in connection with its performance of this Agreement that are in addition to or outside of the Services unless such additional services are authorized in advance and in writing in accordance with Section 26 “Administration and Implementation” or Section 28 “Amendment” of this Agreement. If and when such additional work is authorized, such additional work shall be deemed to be part of the Services.
SECTION 4. COMPENSATION AND METHOD OF PAYMENT.
(a) Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement, City agrees to pay Service Provider the amounts specified in Exhibit “A” and made a part of this Agreement by this reference. The total compensation, including reimbursement for actual expenses, shall not exceed four hundred and fifty nine thousand, two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars ($459,225), unless additional compensation is approved in writing in accordance with Section 26 “Administration and Implementation” or Section 28 “Amendment” of this Agreement. In accordance with California Government Code Section 8546.7, if the Not to Exceed Amount exceeds TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000.00), this Agreement and the Service Provider's books and records related to this Agreement shall be subject to the examination and audit of the State Auditor, at the request of City or as part of any audit of the City, for a period of three (3) years after final payment under the Agreement. (b) Each month Service Provider shall furnish to City an original invoice for all work performed and expenses incurred during the preceding month. The invoice shall detail charges by the following categories: labor (by sub-category), travel, materials, equipment, supplies, and sub-Service Provider contracts. Sub-Service Provider charges shall be detailed by the following categories: labor, travel, materials, equipment and supplies. If the compensation set forth in subsection (a) and Exhibit “A” include payment of labor on an hourly basis (as opposed to labor and materials being paid as a lump sum), the labor category in each invoice shall include detailed descriptions of task performed and the amount of time incurred for or allocated to that task. City shall independently review each invoice submitted by the Service Provider to determine whether the work performed and expenses incurred are in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that no charges or expenses are disputed, the invoice shall be approved and paid according to the terms set forth in subsection (c). In the event any charges or expenses are disputed by City, the original invoice shall be returned by City to Service Provider for correction and resubmission.
(c) Except as to any charges for work performed or expenses incurred by Service Provider which are disputed by City, City will use its best efforts to cause Service Provider to be paid within fortyfive (45) days of receipt of Service Provider’s correct and undisputed invoice. 605
May 2026
(d) Payment to Service Provider for work performed pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to waive any defects in work performed by Service Provider.
SECTION 5. INSPECTION AND FINAL ACCEPTANCE.
City may inspect and accept or reject any of Service Provider’s work under this Agreement, either during performance or when completed. City shall reject or finally accept Service Provider’s work within sixty (60) days after the work is submitted to City. City shall reject work by a timely written explanation. Failure to provide written acceptance shall not be deemed acceptance. City’s acceptance shall be conclusive as to such work except with respect to latent defects, fraud and such gross mistakes as amount to fraud. Acceptance of any of Service Provider’s work by City shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement including, but not limited to, Section 16 “Indemnification” and Section 17 “Insurance.”
SECTION 6. OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS; EXCEPTIONS; WARRANTY Except as otherwise provided below, all documents, data, studies, drawings, maps, models, photographs and reports prepared by Service Provider (collectively, “Documents”) under this Agreement are City’s property. Service Provider may retain copies of such Documents as desired but will deliver all original materials to City upon City’s written notice. City agrees that use of Service Provider’s completed work product, for purposes other than identified in this Agreement, or use of incomplete work product, is at City’s own risk. Service Provider warrants that all Documents it drafts and completes pursuant to this Agreement constitute original work. Specifically, Service Provider understands and agrees that use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools including, without limitation, ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Bing Chat, Google’s Bard, and Meta’s LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI), in the performance of this Agreement does not constitute an original work, i.e., submitting Documents generated by such AI tools to City and representing it as Service Provider’s original work constitutes a material breach of this Agreement, constitutes a false claim, and may also violate applicable intellectual property right laws including, without limitation, United States Copyright Law. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement as to ownership, City specifically rejects ownership of such Documents. Service Provider is required to indemnify and defend City to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law should it violate this Section.
All original maps, models, designs, drawings, photographs, studies, surveys, reports, data, notes, computer files, files and other documents prepared, developed or discovered by Service Provider in the course of providing the Services pursuant to this Agreement shall become the sole property of City and may be used, reused or otherwise disposed of by City without the permission of the Service Provider. Upon completion, expiration or termination of this Agreement, Service Provider shall turn over to City all such original maps, models, designs, drawings, photographs, studies, surveys, reports, data, notes, computer files, files and other documents.
If and to the extent that City utilizes for any purpose not related to this Agreement any maps, models, designs, drawings, photographs, studies, surveys, reports, data, notes, computer files, files or other documents prepared, developed or discovered by Service Provider in the course of providing the Services pursuant to this Agreement, Service Provider’s guarantees and warranties in Section 9 “Standard of Performance” of this Agreement shall not extend to such use of the maps, models, designs, drawings, photographs, studies, surveys, reports, data, notes, computer files, files or other documents.
All Final Work Product developed by Service Provider in the course of providing the Services pursuant to this Agreement shall become the sole property of City and may be used, reused or 606
May 2026
otherwise disposed of by City without the permission of the Service Provider. Upon completion, expiration or termination of this Agreement, Service Provider shall turn over to City all such Final Work Product if paid for by the City. This provision specifically excludes Service Providers’ work notes and drafts, which are owned by Service Provider, not City.
SECTION 7. SERVICE PROVIDER'S BOOKS AND RECORDS.
(a) Service Provider shall maintain any and all documents and records demonstrating or relating to Service Provider’s performance of the Services. Service Provider shall maintain any and all ledgers, books of account, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, or other documents or records evidencing or relating to work, services, expenditures and disbursements charged to City pursuant to this Agreement. Any and all such documents or records shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be sufficiently complete and detailed so as to permit an accurate evaluation of the services provided by Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement. Any and all such documents or records shall be maintained for three (3) years from the date of execution of this Agreement and to the extent required by laws relating to audits of public agencies and their expenditures.
(b) Any and all records or documents required to be maintained pursuant to this section shall be made available for inspection, audit and copying, at any time during regular business hours, upon request by City or its designated representative. Copies of such documents or records shall be provided directly to the City for inspection, audit and copying when it is practical to do so; otherwise, unless an alternative is mutually agreed upon, such documents and records shall be made available at Service Provider’s address indicated for receipt of notices in this Agreement. (c) Where City has reason to believe that any of the documents or records required to be maintained pursuant to this section may be lost or discarded due to dissolution or termination of Service Provider’s business, City may, by written request, require that custody of such documents or records be given to the City. Access to such documents and records shall be granted to City, as well as to its successors-in-interest and authorized representatives.
SECTION 8. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.
(a) Service Provider is and shall at all times remain a wholly independent contractor and not an officer, employee or agent of City. Nothing in this Agreement may be construed to be inconsistent with this relationship or status. Service Provider shall not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its agents or employees are agents or employees of City. Service Provider shall have no authority to bind City in any manner, nor to incur any obligation, debt or liability of any kind on behalf of or against City, whether by contract or otherwise, unless such authority is expressly conferred under this Agreement or is otherwise expressly conferred in writing by City. (b) Service Provider shall perform all Services as an independent contractor of City and shall remain at all times as to City a wholly independent contractor with only such obligations as are consistent with that role. Service Provider shall be solely responsible for the means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures in performance of Services. The personnel performing the Services under this Agreement on behalf of Service Provider shall at all times be under Service Provider’s exclusive direction and control. Any terms within this Agreement regarding City directives apply to and concern the result of Service Provider’s provision of service and not the means, methods, or scheduling of the Service Provider’s work. Neither City, nor any elected or appointed boards, officers, officials, employees or agents of City, shall have control over the conduct of Service Provider or any of Service Provider’s officers, employees, or agents except as set forth in this Agreement. Service 607
May 2026
Provider shall not at any time or in any manner represent that Service Provider or any of Service Provider’s officers, employees, or agents are in any manner officials, officers, employees or agents of City.
(c) Neither Service Provider, nor any of Service Provider’s officers, employees or agents, shall obtain any privileges or rights to retirement, health care or any other benefits which may otherwise accrue to City’s employees. Service Provider expressly waives any claim Service Provider may have to any such benefits, privileges or rights.
SECTION 9. STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE.
Service Provider represents and warrants that it has the qualifications, experience and facilities necessary to properly perform the Services required under this Agreement in a thorough, competent and professional manner. Service Provider shall at all times faithfully, competently and to the best of its ability, experience and talent, perform all Services. In meeting its obligations under this Agreement, Service Provider shall employ, at a minimum, generally accepted standards and practices utilized by persons engaged in providing services similar to the Services required of Service Provider under this Agreement. In addition to the general standards of performance set forth in this section, additional specific standards of performance and performance criteria may be set forth in Exhibit “A” that shall also be applicable to Service Provider’s work under this Agreement. Where there is a conflict between a general and a specific standard of performance or performance criteria, the specific standard or criteria shall prevail over the general.
SECTION 10. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS; PERMITS AND LICENSES.
Service Provider shall keep itself informed of and comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, regulations and rules in effect during the term of this Agreement. Service Provider shall obtain any and all licenses, permits and authorizations necessary to perform the Services set forth in this Agreement and such licenses, permits, and approvals shall be maintained throughout the Term of this Agreement. Neither City, nor any elected or appointed boards, officers, officials, employees or agents of City, shall be liable, at law or in equity, as a result of any failure of Service Provider to comply with this section.
SECTION 11. PREVAILING WAGE LAWS.
Service Provider acknowledges that certain portions of the Services may constitute “public works” within the meaning of California Labor Code § 1720 et seq., depending on how such Services are performed. Service Provider is solely responsible for determining the applicability of California prevailing wage requirements to the Services and, if applicable, for full compliance with all requirements of the California Labor Code, including but not limited to Labor Code §§ 1720–1782, the payment of prevailing wages, registration with the Department of Industrial Relations, and submission of certified payroll records.
Service Provider must require any subconsultants, subcontractors, or any other persons or entities performing any portion of the Services to comply with all applicable prevailing wage requirements.
Service Provider must defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City and its officials, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, penalties, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising out of or related to the acts or omissions of Service Provider, or any subconsultants, subcontractors, or other persons or entities at any tier engaged in the performance of the Services, in failing to comply with 608
May 2026
applicable prevailing wage laws.
SECTION 12. NONDISCRIMINATION.
Service Provider shall not discriminate, in any way, against any person on the basis of race, color, religious creed, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, physical handicap, medical condition or marital status in connection with or related to the performance of this Agreement.
SECTION 13. UNAUTHORIZED ALIENS.
Service Provider hereby promises and agrees to comply with all of the provisions of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.A. §§ 1101, et seq., as amended, and in connection therewith, shall not employ unauthorized aliens as defined therein. Should Service Provider so employ such unauthorized aliens for the performance of the Services, and should any liability or sanctions be imposed against City for such use of unauthorized aliens, Service Provider hereby agrees to and shall reimburse City for the cost of all such liabilities or sanctions imposed, together with any and all costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred by City.
SECTION 14. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.
(a) Service Provider covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of City or which would in any way hinder Service Provider’s performance of the Services. Service Provider further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor without the express written consent of the City Manager. Service Provider agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of any conflicts of interest with the interests of City in the performance of this Agreement. (b) City understands and acknowledges that Service Provider is, as of the date of execution of this Agreement, independently involved in the performance of non-related services for other governmental agencies and private parties. Service Provider is unaware of any stated position of City relative to such projects. Any future position of City on such projects shall not be considered a conflict of interest for purposes of this section.
(c) City understands and acknowledges that Service Provider will perform non-related services for other governmental agencies and private Parties following the completion of the Services under this Agreement. Any such future service shall not be considered a conflict of interest for purposes of this section.
SECTION 15. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; RELEASE OF INFORMATION. (a) All information gained or work product produced by Service Provider in performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Service Provider. Service Provider shall not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the City Manager, except as may be required by law. Service Provider shall not use City’s name or insignia, photographs, or any publicity pertaining to the Services in any magazine trade paper, newspaper, television or radio production or other similar medium without the prior written consent of City. (b) Service Provider, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, shall not, without prior written authorization from the City Manager or unless requested by the City Attorney of City, voluntarily 609
May 2026
provide declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered "voluntary" provided Service Provider gives City notice of such court order or subpoena.
(c) If Service Provider, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Service Provider, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Service Provider for any damages, costs and fees, including attorney's fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Service Provider’s conduct.
Service Provider shall promptly notify City should Service Provider, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed thereunder. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Service Provider or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Service Provider agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Service Provider. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response. Service Provider shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.
SECTION 16. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Indemnification for Professional Liability. Where the law establishes a professional standard of care for Service Provider’s services, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Service Provider shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless City and any and all of its officials, employees, volunteers, and agents (“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 attorney’s fees and costs, court costs, interest, defense costs, and expert witness fees) that 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 Service Provider, or by any individual or entity for which Service Provider is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, agents, employees or sub-contractors of Service Provider, in the performance of professional services under this Agreement. (b) Indemnification for Other than Professional Liability. Other than in the performance of professional services and to the full extent permitted by law, Service Provider shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless City, and any and all of its employees, officials, volunteers, and agents from and against any 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 attorney’s fees and costs, court costs, interest, defense costs, and expert witness fees), where the same arise out of, are a consequence of, or are in any way attributable to, in whole or in part, the performance of this Agreement by Service Provider, or by any individual or entity for which Service Provider is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, agents, employees or sub-contractors of Service Provider.
(c) Indemnification from Sub-Service Providers. Service Provider agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth in this section from each and every 610

sub-Service Provider or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Service Provider in the performance of this Agreement naming the Indemnified Parties as additional indemnitees. In the event Service Provider fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required herein, Service Provider agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Service Provider and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or this section.
(d) City’s Negligence. The provisions of this section do not apply to claims occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence. The provisions of this section shall not release City from liability arising from gross negligence or willful acts or omissions of City or any and all of its officials, employees and agents.
SECTION 17. INSURANCE.
Service Provider agrees to obtain and maintain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement the insurance policies set forth in Exhibit “B” “Insurance” and made a part of this Agreement.
All insurance policies shall be subject to approval by City as to form and content. These requirements are subject to amendment or waiver if so approved in writing by the City Manager. Service Provider agrees to provide City with copies of required policies upon request.
SECTION 18. ASSIGNMENT.
The expertise and experience of Service Provider are material considerations for this Agreement. City has an interest in the qualifications and capability of the persons and entities who will fulfill the duties and obligations imposed upon Service Provider under this Agreement. In recognition of that interest, Service Provider shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any portion of this Agreement or the performance of any of Service Provider’s duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the City. Any attempted assignment shall be ineffective, null and void, and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement entitling City to any and all remedies at law or in equity, including termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 20 “Termination of Agreement.” City acknowledges, however, that Service Provider, in the performance of its duties pursuant to this Agreement, may utilize sub-contractors.
SECTION 19. CONTINUITY OF PERSONNEL.
Service Provider shall make every reasonable effort to maintain the stability and continuity of Service Provider’s staff and sub-contractors, if any, assigned to perform the Services. Service Provider shall notify City of any changes in Service Provider’s staff and sub-contractors, if any, assigned to perform the Services prior to and during any such performance.
SECTION 20. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.
(a) City may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, at any time by giving thirty (30) days written notice of termination to Service Provider. In the event such notice is given, Service Provider shall cease immediately all work in progress.
611
May 2026
(b) Service Provider may terminate this Agreement for cause at any time upon thirty (30) days written notice of termination to City.
(c) If either Service Provider or City fail to perform any material obligation under this Agreement, then, in addition to any other remedies, either Service Provider, or City may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice.
(d) Upon termination of this Agreement by either Service Provider or City, all property belonging exclusively to City which is in Service Provider’s possession shall be returned to City. Service Provider shall furnish to City a final invoice for work performed and expenses incurred by Service Provider, prepared as set forth in Section 4 “Compensation and Method of Payment” of this Agreement.
This final invoice shall be reviewed and paid in the same manner as set forth in Section 4 “Compensation and Method of Payment” of this Agreement.
SECTION 21. DEFAULT.
In the event that Service Provider is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Service Provider for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Service Provider of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Service Provider may cure the default.
This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Service Provider is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Service Provider does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under Section 20 “Termination of Agreement.” Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Service Provider’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
SECTION 22. EXCUSABLE DELAYS.
Service Provider shall not be liable for damages, including liquidated damages, if any, caused by delay in performance or failure to perform due to causes beyond the control of Service Provider.
Such causes include, but are not limited to, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of federal, state or local governments, acts of City, court orders, fires, floods, epidemics, pandemics, strikes, embargoes, and unusually severe weather. The term and price of this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted for any delays due to such causes.
SECTION 23. COOPERATION BY CITY.
All public information, data, reports, records, and maps as are existing and available to City as public records, and which are necessary for carrying out the Services shall be furnished to Service Provider in every reasonable way to facilitate, without undue delay, the Services to be performed under this Agreement.

The Retroactive Date must be shown and must be before the date of the Agreement or the beginning of Agreement work. Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the Agreement of work. 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 Service Provider must purchase “extended reporting” coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of Agreement work.

General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Service Provider’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 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).

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

Subcontractors
Service Provider shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated herein, and Service Provider shall ensure that City is an additional insured on insurance required from subcontractors.

RE: PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FOR THE WILDOMAR OLD
TOWN SPECIFIC PLAN
Dear Mr. Flores,
A successful Old Town Specific Plan must create momentum that residents can see, developers can build, and the City can realistically implement. Albert A. Webb Associates (WEBB) in collaboration with Architects Orange (AO) is ready to partner with the City of Wildomar to deliver a Specific Plan and associated environmental documentation that translates community vision into an actionable framework for reinvestment, walkable development patterns, and high-quality placemaking. Our team understands the opportunity in front of Wildomar: shaping a true “Old Town” identity while keeping the plan constructible, affordable, and aligned with the City’s long-term goals.
Three key reasons WEBB is the right team for this effort:
A holistic, multidisciplinary team built for this scope This project requires planning, environmental documentation, community engagement, design thinking, and technical feasibility working together from day one. WEBB brings an integrated team structure with in-house environmental expertise and landscape design, along with trusted specialty partners to support targeted needs while maintaining a single point of accountability.
Small-city expertise with the right-sized process

Pragmatic, constructible plans that are implementable
WEBB’s planning and engineering expertise is grounded in real-world delivery. We develop Specific Plans that move beyond aspirational concepts and instead provide clear standards, infrastructure strategies, and an implementation pathway that helps projects succeed in the field.
WEBB will lead the effort and will manage all subconsultant coordination, quality control, and deliverables to ensure a consistent approach and a cohesive final document package. Our proposed subconsultant partners include:
• Architecture and Land Planning: Architects Orange, 144 N Orange St., Orange, CA 92866 • Historic & Cultural Resources: South Environmental, 2061 N Los Robles Ave., #205, Pasadena, CA 91104 • Community Visioning Support: Communications LAB, 701 E Chapman Ave., Orange, CA 92866 This project will be assigned to WEBB’s Riverside office at 3788 McCray Street, Riverside, CA 92506.

CANYON LAKE TOWNE CENTER SPECIFIC PLAN
City of Canyon Lake
To support long-term revitalization while addressing state housing mandates, the City of Canyon Lake advanced a Specific Plan for the redevelopment of its Towne Center. The effort was driven by the City’s need to accommodate additional housing opportunities without displacing established businesses or compromising the character of this central commercial area. Funded through an SB2 Planning Grant, the project provided a clear path toward meeting Regional Housing Needs Allocation requirements while preserving economic vitality.
Working closely with the City and WHA to create the Specific Plan so that it provided the most flexibility for the City to implement once future developers were identified. WEBB prepared the Mitigated Negative Declaration in compliance with CEQA and supported the environmental clearance necessary to implement the Towne Center Specific Plan. WEBB’s work helped identify and address potential environmental impacts early in the process, allowing the City to move forward with confidence and regulatory certainty. The planning framework was intentionally structured to maximize flexibility for future development, enabling a range of mixed-use and residential options that promote housing diversity while maintaining compatibility with existing uses.
The completed Specific Plan positions the City to adapt to evolving market conditions, encourages reinvestment in the Towne Center, and provides a balanced, implementable strategy that aligns community goals with state housing requirements.

PERRIS VALLEY COMMERCE CENTER SPECIFIC PLAN
City of Perris
Transforming a largely agricultural and rural area into a coordinated employment and commerce hub required a clear vision and a strong regulatory foundation. To guide growth in North Perris, the City of Perris initiated the Perris Valley Commerce Center Specific Plan, addressing the need for high-quality industrial, commercial, and office development while maintaining compatibility with existing uses and supporting long-term economic vitality.
WEBB was engaged to prepare the City-initiated Specific Plan and a program-level Environmental Impact Report covering approximately 3,500 acres. The plan established a streamlined entitlement framework designed to encourage timely development, promote sustainable practices through green technologies, and ensure cohesive aesthetics and a distinct identity for the area. WEBB’s EIR was tiered from the City’s General Plan 2030 EIR and structured to serve as a roadmap for future projects with diverse ownership, identifying mitigation measures to simplify subsequent environmental compliance.
Key challenges included addressing land use compatibility with March Air Reserve Base and the March Inland Port, along with complex issues related to air quality, biological and cultural resources, hydrology, noise, transportation, and utilities.
WEBB also prepared a Master Drainage Plan and a Road and Bridge Benefit District, enabling critical infrastructure financing and positioning the City for coordinated, sustainable growth.

VERNOLA RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN
Vernola Trust
The Vernola Ranch Specific Plan was conceived to create a walkable, connected neighborhood that expands housing options while integrating seamlessly with surrounding uses and emphasizes open space and recreational opportunities.
Designed for a 210 acre site in Jurupa Valley, the project responds to the City’s need for well planned residential growth in an area framed by established neighborhoods, parks, and emerging commercial development. The plan ensures long term land use compatibility and supports the City’s vision for cohesive, sustainable community development.
To support the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) goals, WEBB collaborated closely with City Staff to incorporate the residential units identified in the General Plan. The plan introduces modified roadway sections featuring separated bike lanes and a multi use community trail within the parkway, creating multi-modal connections between residential areas, the proposed and surrounding open space amenities, and nearby future commercial uses. Additional roadway improvements, including roundabouts and enhanced pedestrian infrastructure, serve as traffic calming measures and facilitate safe, walkable neighborhood transitions.
WEBB partnered with the master developer to prepare the Vernola Ranch Specific Plan navigating a complex entitlement process that included a General Plan Amendment to the Land Use Element, a Change of Zone, and a Specific Plan Amendment to remove the project site from the I 15 Corridor Specific Plan and an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The EIR assessed potential environmental impacts and identified program level mitigation measures, providing the City with a clear, defensible foundation for project approval. The Jurupa Valley City Council approved the project in December 2023.
The Specific Plan establishes a comprehensive framework for a high quality residential community featuring a diverse mix of housing types and densities, including single family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and stacked flats. By accommodating a wide range of housing needs and reserving an optional site for a future school, the plan supports a complete, family oriented community and positions the property for successful phased development.

THE CIVIC CENTER STORM DRAIN AND OASIS STREET
BEAUTIFICATION PROJECTS
City of Indio
The City of Indio Civic Center Storm Drain Project and Oasis Street Beautification project is an excellent example of how WEBB uses multiple in-house departments to deliver a state-of-the-art downtown beautification.
The storm drain project started as a project to provide a solution to the flooding happening in downtown Indio. WEBB incorporated stormwater capture BMPs, considering the objectives of the Downtown Specific Plan. As the storm drain project developed, the City recognized that we were suggesting improvements above ground that they wanted to build on. The Oasis Street Beautification Project was added as a downtown revitalization component to solve the drainage issues, using a tactical urbanism mindset to deliver visible, community-benefiting improvements alongside essential infrastructure upgrades. WEBB was also given the architectural plans for upcoming projects for downtown Indio, including the new civic center, to guide the design along the streets. The City’s design direction is forward-thinking and will invite space activation.
While our Transportation Department managed the project and provided street improvement plans, our Water Resources Department provided the storm drain design, and our Landscape Architecture Department beautified the streets and the basin at Marshall Park, where the storm drains exited. Rather than a typical trapezoidal basin design, the stormwater basin represented the desert seasonal stream bed. People are encouraged to walk up to its edge, sit in a tree-shaded spot overlooking the basin, or walk through it to discover the native plants and wildlife that flourish there.

11 CITY OF WILDOMAR
PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FOR THE WILDOMAR OLD TOWN SPECIFIC PLAN Project Approach
When assembling a project team to plan for this “Old
Town” district, it is important that the team have realworld experience and a proven track record. This team offers extensive expertise in planning, design and
community building, supported by a history of successful built project.
WEBB has over 80 years of experience building
communities and transforming the landscape from its
agricultural origins to thriving, modern environments
all over Southern California. Architects Orange (AO),
an award-winning planning and design firm, brings
nationally recognized expertise in placemaking, creating vibrant communities that celebrate cultural heritage,
reinforce identity, preserve history, and honor local
traditions. Communications Lab (Comm LAB) will lead
the community engagement and visioning process,
working closely with agencies and stakeholders to ensure the community’s voice shapes the future development
of the 295± acre Wildomar Old Town Specific Plan
(WOTSP) (Figure 1), located in what has been the heart
of Wildomar since the late 1880’s. This team is committed to embracing the history of Wildomar when planning for
future generations. South Environmental (SE) will provide insight into historical and cultural resources ensuring these resources are appropriately reflected in both the design and planning of “old town”. Rounding out the
project team is the City of Wildomar Planning staff. With extensive institutional knowledge and direct connection to the community, Planning staff offers invaluable
perspective on local priorities, needs, and concerns,
grounding the project in authentic, community based
direction.
Figure 1 - Aerial Wildomar Old Town Specific Plan Boundary The purpose of a Specific Plan is not only to “establish the vision, goals, policies and associated regulatory land use, development and infrastructure framework for an
area”, but also to understand the needs of the community and businesses that will live, work, and thrive in the area for generations to come. For the WOTSP, community
outreach serves as the foundation of the planning effort, ensuring the vision is shaped by those who call Wildomar home and reflecting a future that is both authentic and community driven.
As we embark on community outreach, it will be important to develop a clear understanding of current conditions.
Our team will review previous visioning efforts conducted in 2013 for “Old Town” (Figure 2), as well as examine the “Historic and Downtown District” Overlay adopted on
September 10, 2025, under Section 17.25.030, 17.25.040, and 17.59.040 which currently provides guiding principles for interim development until such time as this Specific Plan is adopted. We will collect data to establish existing roadways, parks, trails, and infrastructure conditions
along with identification of key features that can be
reviewed at our project kick-off meeting and will serve as the foundation of initial outreach efforts.

3. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
633
12 CITY OF WILDOMAR
PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FOR THE WILDOMAR OLD TOWN SPECIFIC PLAN Meetings will be held with staff, Planning Commission and City Council members, stakeholders, and the community.
The information gathered during this process will inform the preparation of a land use alternatives study. The 2013 visioning identified several core elements, that will help steer our initial direction:
• healthy, walkable town center with gathering
places
• economic opportunities to grow fiscal base and
serve the needs of its residents
• community focal point
Challenges
This area has some unique challenges that may need
some creative solutions.
• FAULTS: The majority of the WOTSP project area
lies within the Alquist-Priolo fault zone (Figure 3).
Implementing projects within the fault zone will
require expensive Fault Studies to be conducted
for any habitable structure within the fault zone
or siting building at least 50’ from the fault zones,
and will constrain full development potential
within and along the fault zone. We have included
Southern California Geotechnical (SoCal), as an
advisor to inform the team on limitations within the
fault zone and aid in understanding faults setback
requirements and types of uses and/or structures
allowed within the fault zone.
Figure 3 - Faults Zones within Wildomar Old Town Specific Plan • PALOMAR ROAD. is the major north-south
corridor traversing the entire length of the
WOTSP. The corridor has existing Southern
California Edison (SCE) power poles (33kv lines
as well as transmission lines) that are located
both on the east side of Palomar Rd. south of
Wildomar Trail and on the west side of Palomar
Rd. north of Wildomar Trail. While the City can
require the undergrounding of 33kv lines and
under, transmission power poles are typically not
undergrounded. Palomar Rd. within the WOTSP
is identified as a Major Arterial roadway within
the City’s General Plan Mobility Element (Figure
4). Palomar Rd. is planned as a 4-lane road with
raised or striped median, sidewalk, parkway, bike
lane, and multi-use trail, as well as identified for
truck use. This planned 118’ roadway with 72’
curb-to-curb travel lanes and major transmission
line through the heart of “old town” does not lend
itself to the goal outlined in the 2013 visioning
effort which planned for a healthy, walkable town
center with gathering places.
Figure 4 - General Plan Cross Section for Palomar Rd.
In accordance with the City’s RFP, we are proposing
consistency with the WOTSP and planning to incorporate
into the land planning effort the City’s recently adopted 2040 General Plan and Complete Streets policies. In the event, the City wishes to explore alternative roadway
and streetscape concepts for Palomar Rd. that may
better balance multimodal mobility, placemaking, and
community character by potentially reducing travel lane configurations, potential realignment of Palomar Road,
identification of an alternate route to serve as a Major Arterial, a separate contract amendment can be issued
and should be done in the early stages in order that the alternative roadway concept(s) can be presented as part of the outreach effort and incorporated into early land planning.
Communication Plan
With the approval and guidance of City Staff, Comm LAB
will meet with all five council members to gather input and feedback on their vision of the WOTSP. In addition
to gathering an understanding of their vision, Comm
LAB also will collaborate with the Council to ensure they 634
13 CITY OF WILDOMAR
PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FOR THE WILDOMAR OLD TOWN SPECIFIC PLAN understand and have the opportunity to participate in
stakeholder community meetings, boothing at community
events and online survey participation.
Comm LAB will facilitate and invite key community
stakeholders to a visioning stakeholder public meeting.
The goal of the meeting is to determine how best to
implement council policies in the development of the
WOTSP while understanding and taking into consideration the positions of local community stakeholders.
We will seek feedback on how these areas might be
developed. After receiving input, we will develop three (3) alternative site plans and obtain feedback from staff, community, as well as from Planning Commission/City
Council in a joint workshop.
Specific Plan Creation
Ultimately, we will present the preferred alternative at Planning Commission and City Council meetings to
confirm concurrence of the concept site plan prior to
commencing preparation of the Specific Plan document.
Based on the selected Land Plan Alternative, WEBB
shall prepare a Draft Specific Plan in compliance with
state law. The development of the WOTSP will follow
a structured approach designed to create a clear,
implementable regulatory document that reflects
community values, Planning Commission and City Council
direction, and statutory requirements. The Specific Plan scope synthesizes all analysis, outreach, and planning
completed in prior tasks into a cohesive Specific Plan
prepared in four versions as required by the RFP:
• The Administrative Draft WOTSP will be the City’s
first full review version. It includes any technical
findings, policy direction, and community input into
a complete and consistent plan.
• The Public Review Draft provides a polished
document that incorporates City Staff’s first-round
comments.
• The Public Hearing version addresses comments
obtained from the public, stakeholders and
agencies. This document is for Planning
Commission and City Council consideration.
• The Final Specific Plan reflects any final directives provided during the hearing process and will be
prepared for formal adoption by the City Council
Our approach centers on clarity, usability, and consistency with the City’s General Plan. The WOTSP will be written as both a policy document and a regulatory instrument
that is user-friendly to residents, applicants, staff,
and decision-makers. Each draft will further refine the WOTSP through an iterative review process with City
Staff, informed by public input. The WOTSP will be
prepared using accessible language, logical structure,
communicative visual imagery, incorporation of the City’s Old Town Visioning Process and Historic and Downtown
District (HDD) Overlay concepts to ensure smooth
implementation.
The key to our approach will be to ensure the WOTSP
does not increase the intensity of development envisioned by the City’s newly adopted General Plan. This will be
important to streamline the CEQA review for the WOTSP.
We outline this approach more fully under CEQA scope.
The result will be adoption of a Specific Plan along with a Change of Zone to Specific Plan (SP) that will promote the community’s vision for the area and streamline thoughtful growth along this corridor.
Scope of Work
TASK 1: EXISTING CONDITION EXHIBITS
In preparation for the project kick-off meeting, begin data collection and coordination with City to obtain GIS data and layers for the project area as well as a list of any known entitlement projects in the pipeline. Compile and review existing documents - existing conditions, utility research, environmental studies, prior vision documents and City’s “Historic and Downtown District” Overlay, and other pertinent studies available to establish potential opportunities and anticipated constraints that may
influence the Project. This would include SoCal’s review of five (5) prior fault studies within the WOTSP area.
Relevant existing condition exhibits will be created such as land uses, aerial imagery, historic and natural features, points of interest, existing & general planned circulation, trails, parks/open space, existing infrastructure, and
existing businesses and ownership, as well as lands
owned and/or control by the City of Wildomar.
Deliverables:
; Existing Condition Exhibits
Notes:
• City will provide GIS data and layers within the SP
boundary.
TASK 2: PROJECT KICK OFF MEETING
Review available documents and prepare project kickoff agenda including questions and/or requests from the consultant team members to City Staff. The agenda,
along with Existing Condition Exhibits, will be provided to staff ahead of the meeting to allow ample time for
preparation, as well as to invite appropriate staff members to the kick-off meeting.
635
14 CITY OF WILDOMAR
PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FOR THE WILDOMAR OLD TOWN SPECIFIC PLAN The project kick-off meeting will be held in-person at the City’s office with a virtual option. The meeting objectives will include confirmation and review of project goals,
scope of work and responsibilities, project schedule,
target milestones, opportunities, existing conditions
and constraints, community engagement strategy, and
stakeholder identification.
A project drive-by accompanied by City Staff (if available) will be conducted following the kick-off meeting. The
goal will be to visit and photograph key features, notable conditions, and known opportunities and constraints.
Deliverables:
; Project kick-off agenda
; Photographs of notable project area features
; Project kick-off meeting summary (PDF format)
TASK 3: COMMUNITY OUTREACH & VISIONING
The outreach workplan will begin with City Council
engagement. With the approval and guidance of City
Staff, Comm LAB will meet with all five council members to gather input and feedback on their vision of the
Wildomar Old Town Specific Plan. In addition to gathering an understanding of their vision, they will collaborate with the Council to promote their participation in stakeholder community meetings, boothing at community events and
online survey participation.
Comm LAB will facilitate and invite key community
stakeholders to a visioning stakeholder public meeting.
The goal of the meeting is to determine how best to
implement council policies in the development of the
Wildomar Old Town Specific Plan while understanding and taking into consideration the positions of local community stakeholders.
An online public opinion research survey will be
conducted in English and Spanish utilizing Survey Monkey or a similar platform to encourage all Wildomar residents to weigh in with their opinions, suggestions and ideas.
Comm LAB will collaborate with project team and City
Staff on the questions, distribute the survey through city communications channels, and collect and tabulate the
results for analysis.
Comm LAB will identify a community event (Community
Meeting #1), such as National Night Out, and staff a booth where they can gather public input about the Wildomar
Old Town Specific Plan. Community input will be captured through an online survey at the event and results reported to staff and project team. The consultant team will
develop fact sheets, frequently asked questions and
posterboards to help the community visualize the ideas
and concepts of the Wildomar Old Town Specific Plan.
Deliverables:
; Summary of Key Takeaways from City Council
Meeting(s)
; Summary of Key Takeaways Visioning Stakeholder
Meeting
; Public Opinion Survey Results
; Summary of Key Takeaways from Community
Meeting #1
; Fact Sheet & Posterboards
TASK 4: LAND PLAN DEVELOPMENT
The primary approach of the WOTSP is to enhance and
preserve the historic downtown core while thoughtfully
introducing new uses that serve both residents and
visitors. A range of building types—including retail, office, residential, and mixed-use—will be strategically integrated within the core to strengthen social connections and
create a cohesive urban form. This approach will foster economic synergy among uses and surrounding areas,
while cultivating a strong sense of place that honors the past, respects the present, and embraces the future.
SoCal will provide input as we consider land uses and
guidelines for development within the fault zone.
Three (3) Land Use Alternatives will be generated and
presented to staff prior to presentation at Community
Meeting #2. The consultant shall utilize fun and interactive techniques to understand participants’ preferences. The community feedback will be compiled and presented to
Planning Commission and City Council members in a joint workshop along with the three (3) Land Use Alternatives to obtain their feedback and direction on refinement and selection of the preferred alternative. This may result in a clear preference for one alternative or in a hybrid concept which combines components of each.
Based upon input received, the consultant shall develop a preferred land use plan, along with circulation plan, trails, and open space. This will be incorporated into
an illustrative plan and a colored concept site to be
presented to the Planning Commission and the City
Council in the selection of the Preferred Land Use
Alternative to serve as the basis for the Draft Specific Plan.
Deliverables:
; Three (3) Alternative Land Use Plan
; Presentation Materials for Community Meeting,
Planning Commission & City Council Workshop(s)
; Preferred Land Use Plan
; Illustrative Plan
; Colored Concept Site Plan
636
15 CITY OF WILDOMAR
PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FOR THE WILDOMAR OLD TOWN SPECIFIC PLAN TASK 5: WILDOMAR OLD TOWN SPECIFIC
PLAN
Utilizing City selected Preferred Alternative Land Use
Plan, the team will prepare a Specific Plan in accordance with California Government Codes Sections 65450-65457.
The Specific Plan will textually and graphically depict the distribution, location, extent, and intensity of land uses; public facilities, standards, and criteria by which development will proceed, its relationship to the general plan; and provide a program of implementation measures
necessary to carry out development of the Specific Plan.
The Specific Plan shall serve as the comprehensive land use and implementation plan for guiding development
within the proposed area. The Specific Plan document will include the following elements:
• Introduction & Regulatory Framework – This
section will include a project overview providing a
description and history of the project, purpose of
the Specific Plan and its relationship to the general
plan and HDD Overlay, specific plan authority;
purpose and authority of the related environmental
document and outlines the planning framework
including the existing setting and required
entitlements.
• Vision and Goals – This chapter will articulate the
community‑driven vision, goals, and objectives
for a lively, heritage‑rich plan that celebrates its
historic character while fostering a welcoming,
human-scaled, walkable, and locally focused
mixed‑use environment.
• Community Plan – The Community Plan will
describe and identify land use types, acreage
and density/FAR, use tables, and development
standards including height, FAR, and setbacks.
It will also provide transitions or interfaces that
should be implemented between different uses.
• Mobility Plan – This section will include circulation and mobility identifying existing networks and
demonstrating how vehicular and non-vehicular
access, movement, and future improvements.
Consistent with the City’s recently adopted 2040
General Plan and Complete Streets policies, we
will incorporate Complete Streets elements such
as enhanced pedestrian crossings, buffered or
protected bicycle facilities, wider sidewalks,
landscaped parkways, street trees, lighting,
on-street parking where feasible, traffic calming
features, and streetscape treatments to visually
soften the presence of overhead transmission
lines. This includes proposed trails and overall
connectivity to gathering spaces, and key elements
within the WOTSP.
• Infrastructure and Public Facilities – This
section will include public facilities identifying
dry utilities providers for the Project site, water
quality treatment options, and how the Project will
be served by water, sewer, and storm facilities.
It will also include a mass grading concept and
anticipated phasing.
• Urban Design & Architectural Guidelines – This
section will examine the vernacular and historic
architectural elements within the specific plan area.
Our goal is to reinforce and enhance Wildomar’s
historic core through appropriate building
massing, architectural character, active facades,
porches and storefronts, and cohesive signage
and wayfinding. Combined with a focus on urban
design feature - such as street activation and
pedestrian oriented design. These elements will
support a vibrant and revitalized historic Wildomar
core.
• Landscape Design Guidelines – Prepare and
incorporate landscape design guidelines which will
include open space areas, community gathering
spaces, plant palette, streetscape concepts, and
lighting.
• Historic and Cultural Resources – This section
will document the area’s historic and cultural
assets—its longstanding buildings, character,
community landmarks, and the traditions that
have shaped Old Town over time. It will include
guidelines to preserve and enhance these
resources, ensuring that new development is
sensitive to the historic fabric while supporting
continued revitalization.
• Administration & Implementation Plans - Identify
maintenance program, funding mechanisms, and
administrative procedures and amendments to
streamline entitlements via clear standards and
regulations.
Deliverables:
; Administrative Draft Specific Plan
; Public Review Draft Specific Plan
; Public Hearing Draft Specific Plan
; Adopted Specific Plan in Word and PDF format
NOTES:
• We are assuming City Staff will handle all
arrangements for Planning Commission and City
Council workshops and meetings.
• Any comments received requiring major
revisions to the Specific Plan document after
commencement of the Administrative Draft as
begun will need to be discussed with the City and
could result in the need for budget augmentation.

16 CITY OF WILDOMAR
PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FOR THE WILDOMAR OLD TOWN SPECIFIC PLAN TASK 6: HISTORICAL & TRIBAL
CONSULTATION
Historical Resources Survey Report
The 2013 vision study session identified Old Town as
the “historic heart of the community” and the “historic center”, pointing to its numerous historic and cultural assets. However, no reconnaissance-level survey of
historical resources was completed as part of the vision study. RFP Addendum No. 1 Question 16 clarifies that
a reconnaissance-level built environment survey of the
WOTSP should be included in the proposal unless it was
completed as part of the 2013 visioning exercise. It does not appear that a reconnaissance-level survey has ever
been undertaken to identify potential historical resources within the WOTSP. Likewise, no cultural resource surveys were undertaken as part of the 2023 General Plan Update cultural resources study (ECORP 2023). Given the focus
placed on the importance of historical resources in the vision study, and the need to make planning decisions
centering on a historic core, identification of historical resources within the WOTSP will be conducted.
• CHRIS Records Search – South Environmental
(SE) will request a California Historical Resources
Information Systems (CHRIS) records search of
the WOTSP from the South Coastal Information
Center (SCIC), which houses cultural records
for Riverside County. The purpose of a records
search is to identify any previously recorded
cultural resources; review historical maps of the
city; review the Archaeological Determinations of
Eligibility and Built Environment Resource Directory
lists; and gather information on ethnographies. In
addition, SE will review the lists for the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the California
Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), and the
lists of California State Historical Landmarks, and
California Points of Historical Interest.
• Background Research – In preparation of the
reconnaissance-level survey, the project team
will conduct background research not limited to
archival research on the history of the WOTSP,
published books and pamphlets, historic maps
and photographs, previously prepared surveys and
studies, all relevant City documents, and online
research. City development research, including
subdivision and annexation maps, Sanborn Fire
Insurance Maps, Assessor records, etc. shall also
be reviewed, as needed, to verify important dates
in the WOTSP area.
• Reconnaissance-level Survey – Qualified
architectural historians will complete a
reconnaissance-level survey of all built environment
resources more than 45 years old within the
WOTSP. We assume no more than 200 properties
within the WOTSP will require reconnaissance-level
survey. Properties will be surveyed from the public
right-of-way only. Surveyed properties will receive
a preliminary recommendation of eligibility based
upon observations and data collected. The project
team will base the recommendations on the NRHP,
CRHR, and local designation criteria and integrity
requirements. Any potentially eligible properties or
historic districts identified during the survey will be flagged for future intensive-level survey and formal
recordation and evaluation.
• Historical Resources Survey Report – Upon
completion of the background research and
reconnaissance-level survey, the project team
will prepare a historical resources survey report
including the following components: project
objectives, regulatory framework, survey area
information, records search results, research
design, methodology, sources, and maps. The
report will also include a Survey Matrix (Microsoft
Excel database presenting the results of the
reconnaissance-level survey in tabular form) and
recommendations/mitigation measures for future
intensive-level survey of individual properties and
potential historic districts.
Deliverables:
; Historical Resources Survey Report
NOTES:
• Request City share the 2023 General Plan Update
cultural resources study (ECORP 2023) for use by
SE.
• We have assumed that the direct cost associated
with the records search will not exceed $3000. If
the full CHRIS records search completed as part of
the 2023 General Plan Update cultural resources
study (ECORP 2023) can be shared with SE and it
covers the entirety of the WOTSP, this direct cost
will no longer be needed.
• The reconnaissance-level survey will be restricted
to the public right-of-way and will not encroach on
private property.
• No resource evaluations are required as part of this
scope of work, only preliminary recommendations
of eligibility will be provided in a Survey Matrix that can be used for planning purposes.
• Photographs of individual properties is not
included in this scope of work.
• No property specific research will be conducted as
part of this scope work.
* We have assumed that construction dates for all
properties within the survey area can be readily obtained at no cost from the City or County Assessor, and no
research i.e. pulling building permits will be required. 638

TRIBAL CONSULTATION
South Environmental will assist the City with its
government-to-government Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) and
Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) obligations as follows: provide City Staff with a detailed overview of the AB 52 and SB 18
process and the required steps; request a Sacred Lands
File Search and AB 52/SB 18 Tribal Consultation List
from the Native American Heritage Commission; prepare
notification letters and consultation letters (as appropriate) to tribes requesting consultation on the project using City letterhead; assist the City with subsequent responses
from tribes and consultation meetings that occur (we
assume no more than three (3) one-hour virtual meetings with the City and tribes); and maintaining a detailed record of all consultation efforts in coordination with City Staff. Deliverables:
; Notice of Consultation Letter
; Consultation Log
; Sacred Lands File Search
NOTES
• We assume no new archaeological resources study
is necessary beyond completion/review of the
CHRIS records search results, and that the cultural
resources study completed as part of the General
Plan Update (ECORP 2023) is adequate.
TASK 7: CHANGE OF ZONE
A change of zone will be processed concurrently to zone the WOTSP area as SP.
Deliverables:
; Existing and Proposed Zoning Exhibits
NOTES
• City will provide GIS zoning layer.
TASK 8: CEQA ANALYSIS
Based on the assumption that the proposed WOTSP will
not alter the intensity of the existing General Plan (GP) land use designations, we anticipate that the appropriate CEQA pathway for the WOTSP is an Addendum to the
General Plan EIR. This approach is expected to be the
most efficient for the following reasons:
• The City’s General Plan EIR is current and includes
up to date technical analyses that can be applied
to this effort.
• The WOTSP can be crafted to align with the goals
and intent of the City’s recently adopted General
Plan.
• The General Plan EIR already contains a
comprehensive set of mitigation measures tied to
General Plan policies. Relying on these measures
to implement the Specific Plan will streamline
CEQA processing. Introducing new or significantly
different measures—if the Specific Plan diverges
from the General Plan—could unnecessarily
prolong the CEQA process.
Given these factors, WEBB proposes preparing an EIR
Addendum for the WOTSP. The scope of work would
include:
• Reviewing the General Plan EIR, technical studies,
visioning documents, and the MMRP.
• Developing a detailed Project Description based on
the Specific Plan.
• Preparing a modified Initial Study checklist that
summarizes applicable General Plan EIR findings
and compares them with the WOTSP land uses in
accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164.
• Incorporating relevant mitigation measures from
the General Plan EIR and explaining how the
Specific Plan will comply with or satisfy those
measures such that CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 findings support the decision to prepare an
Addendum.
• Identifying any updates or additional mitigation
measures needed to address Specific Plan policies
or land uses, ensuring clarity and enhancing
impact reduction where appropriate, consistent
with Section 15164.
• Prepare Notice of Determination for City to sign
after adoption of the WOTSP.
• File NOD with County Clerk and State
Clearinghouse on City’s behalf.
Deliverables:
; Administrative Review Draft Addendum
; Final Addendum

KEY CLIENTS & COLLABORATORS

39 CITY OF WILDOMAR
PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FOR THE WILDOMAR OLD TOWN SPECIFIC PLAN Project design at AO is focused on serving
our clients with creating practical, efficient
developments. Conceptual design begins
with research into various planning codes and
creating a set of site Yield Studies.
This Yield Study phase reveals the optimal potential densities per building type which can assist in a financial cost/benefit analysis. Once the site planning direction is established with a specific building type confirmed, the team commences a visioning phase.
With the visioning effort we aspire to a thoughtful design response that is specific to the projects location and tailored to the constraints and opportunities afforded. The process is collaborative and inclusive of the client team, Landscape Architect, Civil Engineer and any other relevant party such as entitlement consultant or project management firm.
The Visioning Process starts with a Constraints and Opportunities study that is a plan based review of all code requirements and contextual issues that could have influence on the plan. Some of the issues studied in this document include view analysis, environment, traffic impacts, review of competing projects in the area and other salient influences. We find that documenting all this visually helps in fostering a clear communication between the client, designers and consultants.
Another segment of the Visioning Process is a review of Architecture, Interiors and Landscape design possibilities. This review takes the form of an in-depth visual analysis of sample project images, sketches, and diagrams to thoroughly illustrate the various design opportunities of the project for creating attractive, comfortable communities. This format allows for a robust discussion with the intent to listen carefully to client comments and establish project specific goals in a quick efficient manner.
At AO we feel that the intangible qualities of the design are as practical and important as the hard numbers of construction cost and net rentable SF in creating a successful project for our clients, tenants, and the communities in which they reside.
VISIONING & CHARETTE PROCESS
661
40 CITY OF WILDOMAR
PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES FOR THE WILDOMAR OLD TOWN SPECIFIC PLAN At AO, we employ a comprehensive
approach to design and planning, taking
the time to ensure we identify critical
factors based on each project’s location,
community needs, and the invaluable input
we receive from stakeholders.
Our broad perspective allows local conditions to inform our process and creativity. The factors which inform each master plan are vast, however we believe that client and community interests are paramount, steering our creativity and resulting in master plans that are meaningful and impactful.
Our approach is rooted in systems-based thinking. We view each project as a complex set of interconnected parts rather than isolated components.
Understanding how changes in one area can affect the entire system is crucial to fostering a thriving community.
To achieve this, we integrate closely with our clients, their teams, the local community, business owners, and policymakers. Our collaborative approach involves practitioners from various fields, including architecture, planning, environmental science, sociology, and economics. This multidisciplinary perspective ensures we address the diverse needs, challenges, and complexities of large-scale projects.
Engaging with all stakeholders, including government agencies, the local community, and businesses, throughout the planning and design process is vital. We seek to drive consensus, consider their input, concerns, and aspirations to create projects that meet their needs and gain their support.
We leverage our collective market experience, allowing our team to integrate progressive principles into the design and planning process, minimizing environmental impact, promoting resilience, and ensuring long-term success.
We focus on energy efficiency, waste reduction, open space, and alternative transportation systems to enhance a project’s viability and market interest.
We believe that all developments, especially projects of scale, must promote social equity and inclusivity. We consider the needs of all community members, promote accessibility, and create opportunities for everyone to benefit.
Understanding the long-term impact of each project, we approach large-scale planning assignments with a forward-thinking perspective. We consider future trends, population growth, and technological advancements, planning for adaptability and flexibility to accommodate changing needs over time.
Most importantly, we respect and integrate the cultural heritage, identity, and context of the project site into our design and planning process. This includes preserving historic landmarks, respecting indigenous knowledge, and celebrating local traditions.
At AO, our goal is to create designs and plans that not only meet immediate needs but also stand the test of time, fostering vibrant, inclusive, and resilient communities for generations to come.

CHEMEHUEVI INDIAN TRIBE
MASTER PLAN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
The Chemehuevi Indian Tribe Development Master Plan represents a bold and holistic vision for the long-term prosperity, cultural preservation, and self-sufficiency of the Chemehuevi people. Set along the western shore of Lake Havasu in southeastern California, the plan encompasses approximately 32,650 acres of reservation land and is guided by principles of sustainability, cultural respect, and communitydriven growth.
As the lead master planner and landscape architect, AO worked closely with tribal leadership and the community to develop a framework rooted in placemaking and long-term resilience. AO’s role included site planning, land-use programming, phased development strategy, mobility and circulation planning, and a landscape typology that reflects both the desert environment and the tribe’s deep cultural ties to the land.
MASTER PLAN VISION
The plan prioritizes four pillars of well-being—physical, spiritual, social, and educational—and reflects the Chemehuevi Tribe’s desire to balance economic development with cultural stewardship. Through extensive community engagement, AO established a phased vision that honors tradition while promoting future-focused growth, job creation, and improved quality of life.
The plan is organized into five strategic zones, each rooted in a placemaking approach:
1. Agricultural & Residential Zones – These areas promote food security, housing diversity, and walkability. They include market-rate housing, senior living, and vertical farming to support self-reliance.
2. Historical & Preservation Zones – Culturally sensitive spaces include heritage parks, ceremonial grounds, and sacred sites, preserved through native landscapes and respectful programming.
3. Entertainment & Commercial Zones – Destination-driven districts incorporate hospitality, gaming, shopping, and recreational venues that generate jobs and economic activity.
4. Public Infrastructure Zones – Anchored by civic centers, healthcare facilities, schools, and utilities, these zones provide the backbone of community services.
5. Natural Systems & Open Space – Restored washes, reservoirs, and trail systems preserve native ecology while offering recreation and flood protection.

SUBJECT: Amendments to the Tri-Party Agreement and Agreement for Services for "The Bluffs" Specific Plan Project and associated environmental documentation (PLN 24-0048)
SUBMITTED BY: Abdu Lachgar, Principal Planner
PREPARED BY: Abdu Lachgar, Principal Planner
ACTION:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment for the Tri-Party Agreement (Attachment A) between the City of Wildomar, The Bluffs at Hidden Springs, LLC, Inc. and PlaceWorks, Inc. for the preparation of The Bluffs Specific Plan (SP) document and associated environmental documentation under CEQA; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment for the Agreement for Services (Attachment B) between the City of Wildomar and PlaceWorks, Inc. for the preparation of an SP document and associated environmental documentation under CEQA for the Bluffs at Hidden Springs Project.
SUMMARY:
The proposed amendments to the Tri-Party Agreement and Agreement for Services would increase the compensation of the not to exceed amount for professional services rendered by $61,165. All costs associated with these agreements are paid by the applicant of the The Bluffs Specific Plan project ("Project").
BACKGROUND:
On September 11, 2024, the City Council approved two agreements for the Project for environmental and specific plan services to be rendered by PlaceWorks Inc., including a TriParty Agreement between the City of Wildomar, The Bluffs at Hidden Springs LLC or the "applicant", and PlaceWorks Inc. to cover cost of services, and an Agreement for Services between the City of Wildomar and PlaceWorks Inc. for the provision of services and compensation. Per the agreements, written approval for these amendments were received from the applicant, but require approval by the City. Additionally, the Applicant has reviewed the updated scope of work and budget (Attachment C), PlaceWorks Proposal dated March 10, 2026, and has agreed to pay the additional costs in accordance with city rules and policies.
DISCUSSION:
As the Project has progressed since the approval of the original agreements, changes to the project necessitate modified services that has resulted in an increase of costs for those services. If the agreements are approved, the new budget for the project, has a total “not-toexceed” compensation of $1,184,730. This cost will be paid by the Applicant, and all work will be charged against the Tri-Party Agreement account. In accordance with the provisions of the 691
amendment to the Tri-Party Agreement, the Applicant must pay the total cost in one (1) lump sum. Since the total compensation exceeds the City Manager's contracting authority under the Wildomar Municipal Code, this amendment has been brought before the City Council for consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The preparation of the Project documents are the sole responsibility of the Applicant (The Bluffs at Hidden Springs, LLC) as outlined in the Tri-Party Agreement, as amended, and the City bears no costs with their completion. The Applicant has also paid the required fixed application fees, which will cover the City’s costs of processing the Specific Plan and Tentative Tract Map development applications.

Subject: Bluffs at Hidden Springs Specific Plan Project – Contract Amendment – Biological Resources Survey and Specific Plan Services
Dear Mr. Flores:
Understanding of the Project
To accommodate the changes to the specific plan boundary change, restructuring of the specific plan, and ongoing communication, this contract amendment includes a request for additional funds to cover the costs of these services, as summarized below. As there is sufficient funds to cover the cost of Task 3, Biological Resources Survey, PlaceWorks will reallocate money from the Final Environmental Impact Report task to cover ECORP’s fieldwork.
Scope of Work
TASK 1. SPECIFIC PLAN
Due to the changes to the specific plan boundary as well as the requested restructuring of the specific plan, beyond what we anticipated, PlaceWorks is requesting additional funds to cover the overages and preparation of the Specific Plan.
TASK 2. MEETINGS AND COORDINATION
In order to provide ongoing support and communication with the City and applicant, PlaceWorks is requesting additional funds to cover meetings and coordination.
TASK 3. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES SURVEY
Due to the changes in the specific plan boundary, which were made after ECORP conducted their initial field survey, ECORP is requesting additional funds to conduct another field survey. PlaceWorks has sufficient funds to cover ECORP’s requested augment of $14,152. The project applicant team has approved the reallocation of the funds.
Therefore, this work is not included in the requested budget augment.
Cost Estimate
PlaceWorks submits this cost estimate not to exceed $61,165, as shown in Table 1, Cost Estimate, for Tasks 1 and 2.
Table 1. Cost Estimate

Task 1. Specific Plan $30,000
Task 2. Meetings and Coordination $31,165

The upcoming proposed project will require environmental documentation and analysis under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the proposed changes.
DISCUSSION:
In accordance with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, the Planning Division has determined that the proposed development project may qualify for an exemption under Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines but requires necessary analysis and preparation of documentation.
Once this determination was made, staff asked our on-call CEQA consultant (EPD Solutions) to submit a Scope of Work and Budget to prepare the environmental documentation. Once received, the scope of work and budget were sent to the Applicant for review. Based on the information provided, the Applicant has agreed to move forward with the proposal. To move forward, City Council must approve a Tri-Party Services agreement between the City of Wildomar, Tri-Pointe Homes, and EPD Solutions, Inc.
The contract agreement for EPD Solutions, Inc. is proposed for a total compensation of a “notto-exceed” amount of $49,795.00, with the standard City Attorney review fees ($5,303.00), the total cost to prepare the environmental documentation is $55,098.00. Staff review time falls under the entitlement applications and environmental fee already paid by the applicant. In 703
accordance with the provisions of the agreement, the Applicant is required to deposit 50% of the total cost ($27,549.00) within ten (10) business days after the effective date of the agreement. This will allow EPD Solutions Inc. to begin the process. Further, within thirty (30) business days after the effective date, the applicant is required to deposit the remaining 50% of the cost ($27,549.00). The estimated time frame to prepare and process the environmental documentation is approximately four (4) to six (6) months.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost associated with preparation of the environmental documentation is the sole responsibility of the Applicant, thus, there is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund.

14. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

720

However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response. Service Provider shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.
16. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Indemnification for Professional Liability. Where the law establishes a professional standard of care for Service Provider’s services, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Service Provider shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless City and any and all of its officials, employees and agents (“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 attorney’s fees and costs, court costs, interest, defense costs, and expert witness fees) 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 Service Provider, or by any individual or entity for which 721
Service Provider is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, agents, employees or sub-contractors of Service Provider, in the performance of professional services under this Agreement.
(b) Indemnification for Other than Professional Liability. Other than in the performance of professional services and to the full extent permitted by law, Service Provider shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless City, and any and all of its employees, officials and agents from and against any 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 attorney’s fees and costs, court costs, interest, defense costs, and expert witness fees), where the same arise out of, are a consequence of, or are in any way attributable to, in whole or in part, the performance of this Agreement by Service Provider, or by any individual or entity for which Service Provider is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, agents, employees or sub-contractors of Service Provider. (c) Indemnification from Sub-Service Providers. Service Provider agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth in this section from each and every sub-Service Provider or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Service Provider in the performance of this Agreement naming the Indemnified Parties as additional indemnitees. In the event Service Provider fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required herein, Service Provider agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Service Provider and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or this section. (d) City’s Negligence. The provisions of this section do not apply to claims occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence. The provisions of this section shall not release City from liability arising from gross negligence or willful acts or omissions of City or any and all of its officials, employees and agents.
17. INSURANCE.
Service Provider agrees to obtain and maintain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement the insurance policies set forth in Exhibit “C” “Insurance” and made a part of this Agreement. All insurance policies shall be subject to approval by City as to form and content. These requirements are subject to amendment or waiver if so approved in writing by the City Manager. Service Provider agrees to provide City with copies of required policies upon request.
18. ASSIGNMENT.
The expertise and experience of Service Provider are material considerations for this Agreement. City has an interest in the qualifications and capability of the persons and entities who will fulfill the duties and obligations imposed upon Service Provider under this Agreement. In recognition of that interest, Service Provider shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any portion of this Agreement or the performance of any of Service Provider’s duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the City. Any attempted assignment shall be ineffective, null and void, and 722
shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement entitling City to any and all remedies at law or in equity, including termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 20 “Termination of Agreement.” City acknowledges, however, that Service Provider, in the performance of its duties pursuant to this Agreement, may utilize sub-contractors.
19. CONTINUITY OF PERSONNEL.
Service Provider shall make every reasonable effort to maintain the stability and continuity of Service Provider’s staff and sub-contractors, if any, assigned to perform the Services. Service Provider shall notify City of any changes in Service Provider’s staff and sub-contractors, if any, assigned to perform the Services prior to and during any such performance.
20. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.
City may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, at any time by giving thirty (30) days written notice of termination to Service Provider. In the event such notice is given, Service Provider shall cease immediately all work in progress.
Service Provider may terminate this Agreement for cause at any time upon thirty (30) days written notice of termination to City.
If either Service Provider or City fail to perform any material obligation under this Agreement, then, in addition to any other remedies, either Service Provider, or City may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice.
Upon termination of this Agreement by either Service Provider or City, all property belonging exclusively to City which is in Service Provider’s possession shall be returned to City. Service Provider shall furnish to City a final invoice for work performed and expenses incurred by Service Provider, prepared as set forth in Section 4 “Compensation and Method of Payment” of this Agreement. This final invoice shall be reviewed and paid in the same manner as set forth in Section 4 “Compensation and Method of Payment” of this Agreement.
21. DEFAULT.
In the event that Service Provider is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Service Provider for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Service Provider of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Service Provider may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Service Provider is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Service Provider does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under Section 20 “Termination of Agreement.” Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Service Provider’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement. 723
22. EXCUSABLE DELAYS.
Service Provider shall not be liable for damages, including liquidated damages, if any, caused by delay in performance or failure to perform due to causes beyond the control of Service Provider. Such causes include, but are not limited to, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of federal, state or local governments, acts of City, court orders, fires, floods, epidemics, strikes, embargoes, and unusually severe weather. The term and price of this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted for any delays due to such causes.
23. COOPERATION BY CITY.

1. Commercial General Liability (CGL): Insurance Services Office Form CG 00 01 covering CGL on an “occurrence” basis, including products and completed operations, property damage, bodily injury and personal & advertising injury with limits no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. If a general aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location (ISO CG 25 03 or 25 04) or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit.
2. Automobile Liability: Insurance Services Office Form Number CA 0001 covering, Code 1 (any auto), or if Service Provider has no owned autos, Code 8 (hired) and 9 (non-owned), with limit no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.
3. Workers’ Compensation insurance as required by the State of California, with Statutory Limits, and Employer’s Liability Insurance with limit of no less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease.

The Retroactive Date must be shown and must be before the date of the Agreement or the beginning of Agreement work. Insurance must be maintained, and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the Agreement of work. 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 Service Provider must purchase “extended reporting” coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of Agreement work.
A copy of the claims reporting requirements must be submitted to the City for review.
If the Service Provider maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or higher limits maintained by the Service Provider. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
II. Other Insurance Provisions
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:
The City, 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 Service Provider 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 Service Provider’s insurance (at least as broad as ISO Form CG 20 10 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). 729
III. Primary Coverage
For any claims related to this Agreement, the Service Provider’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance coverage at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers.

In the event of any cancellation or reduction in coverage or limits of any insurance, Service Provider shall forthwith obtain and submit proof of substitute insurance.
V. Waiver of Subrogation
Service Provider hereby grants to City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Service Provider may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance. Service Provider 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. However, the Workers’ Compensation policy shall be endorsed with a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City for all work performed by the Service Provider, its employees, agents and subcontractors.
VI. Self-Insured Retentions
Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City.

However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive the Service Provider’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.
IX. Subcontractors
Service Provider shall require and verify that all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated herein, and Service Provider shall ensure that City is an additional insured on insurance required from subcontractors.

Dear Robert,
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to prepare CEQA documentation for the proposed Westpark Promenade Project located across Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 376-510-002 and -003 in the City of Wildomar. EPD understands that the project applicant proposes to develop 141 residential units on an approximately 9.22-net acre undeveloped site. The City of Wildomar seeks a consultant to prepare a Section 15162 Consistency Analysis and supporting Initial Study Checklist that evaluates the project pursuant to CEQA and demonstrates consistency with the City’s Westpark Promenade Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and compliance with applicable local, State, and federal regulations.
Because the project is consistent with the General Plan and appears to be consistent with the development assumptions analyzed in the certified EIR it is anticipated to qualify for streamlined environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162. Under this approach, the analysis will focus on confirming that the project is within the scope of the certified EIR and evaluating whether any conditions requiring subsequent environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are triggered. EPD hasreviewed the mitigation measures identified in the certified EIR’s Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) and determined that implementation of these measures—particularly those related to biological and cultural resources—will be sufficient to address potential environmental impacts, and that no additional technical studies are required.
Based on our experience with projects in the City, the available technical information, and the current status of project design, EPD estimates that the entitlement and CEQA process can be completed in approximately five months, including hearings. This schedule assumes approximately two months to prepare the Section 15162 Consistency Analysis and Initial Study Checklist, followed by one month of agency review and revisions in coordination with City staff, and subsequent public hearings. EPD remains flexible and prepared to adjust the schedule as needed to align with the City’s requirements and project needs.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
EPD Solutions, Inc.

METHOD OF APPROACH
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Projectsite is located south of Depasquale Road, encompassing approximately 9.22 gross acres across APNs 376-510-002 and -003. The Project site is vacant and undeveloped, with no existing structures.
Surrounding land uses include residential development to the north and east, vacant undeveloped land to the west, and vacant land and I-15 to the south. The site is designated Very High Density Residential (VHDR) (14-20 du/ac) by the City of Wildomar General Plan land use map and is currently zoned General Residential (R-3).
The proposed development includes development of 141 duplex homes (10.3 du/acre). The Project would also include associated improvements such as landscaping, parking, a private roadway, common and private open space areas, and utility and stormwater infrastructure.
The proposed project will require discretionary approvals from City of Wildomar to allow for the proposed residential development. Specifically, entitlements are expected to include Major Development Review.
PROJECT APPROACH
The proposed project is within the density assumptions and is anticipated to be consistent with the PA 13-0082 Westpark Promenade and its certified EIR. Accordingly, the project will be evaluated to determine whether any of the conditions requiring subsequent environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are triggered and the checklist will provide a determination regarding the appropriate level of CEQA compliance, including whether no further environmental review, an addendum, a supplemental EIR, or a subsequent EIR is required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 through 15164. EPD Solutions has conducted a comprehensive review and analysis of the applicable mitigation measures identified in the EIR’s Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) and has determined that no additional technical studies are required. Implementation of the mitigation measures adopted in the underlying EIR will be sufficient to address potential environmental impacts associated with the project, particularly those related to biological resources and cultural resources which require preconstruction and construction monitoring. A trip generation analysis is proposed to demonstrate the project’s consistency with the certified EIR’s assumptions. Based on this evaluation, the project would be consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, and this approach is reflected in the scope of work proposed below.
SCOPE OF WORK
TASK 1. PROJECT INITIATION
Task 1.1. Project Kickoff Meeting
Upon receipt of the signed contract, EPD will facilitate a kickoff meeting with the project team and Lead Agency staff. During this meeting, EPD will define the project scope, objectives, and key deliverables to ensure alignment among all participants.
Team members will be introduced, and their roles and responsibilities will be clarified. The project timeline, milestones, and dependencies will be reviewed to provide a clear roadmap for the project. 735
May 6, 2026 - Westpark Wildomar - Page 5
Communication protocols, including the frequency of meetings, reporting mechanisms, and escalation procedures, will be established to ensure effective coordination.
EPD will identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies to address them.
Key topics to be discussed during this meeting may include the following:
1. Outline communication protocols
2. Refine project schedule
3. Confirm existing and past uses of the site
4. Review of project design, including, but not limited to:
• Preliminary plans and design specifications
• Phasing information
• Construction and operational parameters
• Discuss any other pertinent information that would guide the project description
5. Discuss parameters of any project alternatives/variations the City is considering
6. Obtain technical studies completed for the project; and
7. Discuss the preparation of new technical studies, along with any data requirements/needs for initiating technical analyses.
8. Identify relevant community and agency stakeholders.
We will also confer with the project team during this early process to discuss the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. This upfront evaluation of impacts will allow the project team to consider project design features that would minimize environmental impacts.
EPD Staff will work closely with City of Wildomar’s Staff to ensure the project follows the CEQA pathway that best suits the project. During this collaboration with City of Wildomar’s Staff, EPD will identify any opportunities for increased efficiencies in the CEQA process.
Task 1.2. Project Description
Prior to the initiation of the environmental document, EPD will develop a detailed project description.
One of the keys to successful CEQA compliance is a clear definition of the project and its components. The project description will be drafted to describe the full scope of project improvements, implementation schedule and phasing, infrastructure requirements, construction process, and any offsite improvements required for implementation and operation of the proposed project, including maps depicting the project footprint.
The budget for this task assumes that the Applicant will supply EPD with all necessary georeferenced and projected technical files and plans. Prior to beginning preparation of the 15162 analysis, the draft Project Description will be circulated to the City and project team for review and comment.One round of revisions is assumed.
TASK 2. PREPARATION OF TECHNICAL STUDIES
Task 2.1. Traffic Impact Analysis
736
May 6, 2026 - Westpark Wildomar - Page 6
Task 2.1.1. Trip Generation Analysis
A trip generation analysis will be prepared to estimate the number of daily, AM peak hour and PM peak hour trips generated by the project. Trip rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), Trip Generation, 12th Edition will be utilized in the analysis. The trip generation will include all necessary adjustments including calculation of passenger car equivalent (PCE) for truck trips as well as pass-by and internal trip capture, as appropriate. The project trip generation will be compared to the previous trip generation for the project area, as analyzed in the PA 13-0082 Westpark Promenade Draft and Final EIRs, prepared in 2016. A trip generation comparison memo will be prepared and submitted to the City for review. One revision to the memo will prepared in response to City comments.
TASK 3. CEQA 15162
Task 3.1. Administrative Draft - 15162
EPD will prepare a CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 consistency analysis to evaluate whether modifications to the proposed project or changes in surrounding circumstances require additional environmental review beyond the previously certified CEQA document. The analysis will review the approved project and prior environmental documentation, summarize applicable mitigation measures and findings, and assess whether substantial changes to the project, substantial changes in circumstances, or new information of substantial importance would result in new significant environmental impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts. EPD will utilize the CEQA Appendix G Environmental Checklist format to evaluate potential environmental effects and document consistency with the prior CEQA analysis. Based on the findings, the document will provide a determination regarding the appropriate level of CEQA compliance, including whether no further environmental review, an addendum, a supplemental EIR, or a subsequent EIR is required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 through 15164.
EPD will prepare an Initial Study (IS) checklist for the project addressing each of the environmental resource areas and through this effort evaluate the applicability of Section 15162 to the project. EPD will apply the applicable standard environmental checklist to assess any potential environmental impacts.
An administrative draft of the 15162 Checklist and Justification will be provided to the City and with permission, to the project team for review. One round of review is assumed.
Task 3.2. Screencheck Draft - 15162
City and project team comments will be incorporated into an updated Screencheck Draft 15162 Checklist and subsequently distributed to the City of Wildomar for review. One round of review for the City of Wildomar is assumed.
Task 3.3. Public Draft - 15162
Section 15162 does not require a public circulation of the tiering document, however, EPD will prepare a Public Draft 15162 Checklist and Justification for inclusion in the City of Wildomar’s staff report. As part of this task, EPD will also prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the project, which will incorporate the General Plan EIR mitigation measures applicable to the project.
TASK 4. MEETINGS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS
Task 4.1. Meetings
737
May 6, 2026 - Westpark Wildomar - Page 7
To effectively manage the costs of the project, EPD will attend half-hour bi-weekly conference calls (briefings) to update the Client on upcoming deliverables and discuss any potential issues that may impact the scope of work for the approximately 4-month duration of the project. EPD will draft agendas in advance of these meetings and deliver minutes via email to the entire project team. The minutes will identify action items and the responsible party to implement said action item. In addition to standing meetings, EPD will be available to the City staff to answer questions, address concerns, or to clarify issues as they arise. If the CEQA schedule extends beyond 4 months, an additional budget may be required.
TASK 5. CEQA PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
EPD’s CEQA project manager will coordinate closely with the project team and City of Wildomar staff to ensure that the CEQA document and associated documents delivered to the City of Wildomar are legally defensible, accurate, and useful to decision makers considering the approval of the project. The project manager will also coordinate with City of Wildomar staff throughout the process not only to streamline the CEQA process, but to avoid or anticipate any changes that could result in delays.

Therefore, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Client agrees that as Client’s sole and exclusive remedy, any claim, demand or suit shall be directed and/or asserted only against Consultant, a California corporation or its incorporated sub-consultant(s), and not against any of Consultant or its sub-consultant(s) individual employees, officers or directors.

In addition, Client agrees (1) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless Consultant from any damages, liabilities or costs arising from such change, and (2) to include in any contracts for construction appropriate language that prohibits any contractor or subcontractors of any tier from making any changes or modifications to Consultant's construction documents without the prior written approval of Consultant and that further requires contractor to indemnify both Consultant and Client from any liability or cost arising from such changes made without such proper authorization.

CITY OF WILDOMAR
CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
CONSENT CALENDAR
Agenda Staff Report # 1.22
Meeting Date: May 13, 2026
SUBJECT: Approval of a Services Agreement with Infinity Technologies for Information Technology and GIS Support Services
SUBMITTED BY: Cory Gorham, Assistant to the City Manager PREPARED BY: Cory Gorham, Assistant to the City Manager ACTION:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a Services Agreement with Infinity Technologies for Information Technology and GIS Support Services and waive any informality or irregularity in the bid.
SUMMARY:
The City Council is being asked to approve a 3-year Services Agreement with Infinity Technologies to provide managed Information Technology (IT) and Geographic Information System (GIS) support services. Infinity Technologies is the City’s current service provider and has supported the City since 2021. The proposed agreement will continue these services while enhancing service delivery, including increasing on-site support from two (2) days per week to three (3) days per week.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Wildomar currently contracts for IT and GIS support services to maintain daily operations, support staff, and ensure the reliability and security of the City’s technology environment. Infinity Technologies has served as the City’s IT and GIS provider since 2021, supporting the development and ongoing operation of the City’s systems, infrastructure, and applications. The original agreement with Infinity Technologies was approved in May of 2021 for a three year term with two additional one year extensions. The City has exercised both extensions and the agreement is set to expire on June 1, 2026.
As the City’s operational needs have evolved, including increased reliance on digital services, cybersecurity requirements, integration of GIS across departments, and increased staff size, the City initiated a Request for Proposals (RFP) process to evaluate service delivery options, cost effectiveness, and to ensure alignment with current and future priorities.
The RFP was released on March 24, 2026, and proposals were due on April 30, 2026. The RFP sought qualified firms capable of providing comprehensive services, including help desk support, infrastructure management, cybersecurity, GIS services, audio/visual support for public meetings, and an option for website development and maintenance.
750
As part of the process, the City conducted a staff survey to assess current service performance and identify areas for improvement. Key themes included the need for improved response times, enhanced cybersecurity, modernization of systems, and a more proactive service model.
Following receipt and evaluation of proposals, staff determined that Infinity Technologies remains best positioned to meet the City’s operational needs due to its institutional knowledge, proven performance, competitive pricing, and ability to provide continuity of service without disruption.
DISCUSSION:
The selection of a managed IT and GIS services provider is a critical operational decision, as these services support nearly all City functions, including finance, community development, public works, engineering, and public-facing services. As such, reliability, responsiveness, and system continuity are essential to maintaining daily operations and delivering services to the community.
Following the issuance of the Request for Proposals (RFP) and receipt of eight qualified submissions, staff conducted a comprehensive evaluation process. Proposals were evaluated based on experience, technical approach, service delivery model, staffing, transition plan, and cost. While several firms demonstrated strong qualifications, Infinity Technologies was determined to provide the best overall value to the City when considering both operational continuity and long-term service delivery.
A key factor in this determination is Infinity Technologies’ longstanding role as the City’s current IT and GIS provider. Infinity Technologies has supported the City since 2021 and has developed a deep understanding of the City’s systems, infrastructure, applications, and operational workflows . This institutional knowledge significantly reduces the risk typically associated with transitioning to a new provider, including potential service disruptions, delays in onboarding, and loss of system familiarity.
Unlike a new provider that would require a transition period to assess and learn the City’s environment, Infinity Technologies proposes a “continuity and optimization” approach. This model allows services to continue uninterrupted while focusing immediately on validating system performance, addressing gaps, and implementing targeted improvements within the first 90 days. This approach aligns with the City’s operational needs and minimizes risk during the contract transition period.
Infinity Technologies also provides a fully integrated IT and GIS service model, which is a key advantage for the City. Rather than treating GIS as a separate or siloed function, their approach embeds GIS services within the broader IT framework, allowing for better coordination, improved data integration, and enhanced support for cross-departmental workflows. This integration supports more efficient operations and enables data-driven decision-making across departments.
The proposed service delivery model includes a combination of on-site support, remote support, and specialized technical resources. The City will continue to receive 24/7 help desk support, proactive system monitoring, cybersecurity services, and infrastructure management. In addition, a dedicated onsite technician will serve as the primary point of contact for day-to-day support, troubleshooting, and 751
coordination with City staff.
Based on feedback received through the staff survey, staff identified a need for increased on-site presence to improve responsiveness and provide more direct support to departments. As a result, the proposed agreement includes an increase in on-site services from two (2) days per week to three (3) days per week. This enhancement is expected to improve service delivery by reducing response times for in-person issues, increasing staff accessibility to IT support, and strengthening coordination across departments.
Infinity Technologies also demonstrated a strong service delivery framework supported by defined Service Level Agreements (SLAs), performance tracking, and regular reporting. Their approach includes centralized service management, priority-based response protocols, and structured escalation procedures, ensuring accountability and transparency in service delivery. The firm also provides ongoing strategic planning support, including technology roadmaps, lifecycle planning, and budget forecasting, which aligns with the City’s goal of transitioning to a more proactive and strategic technology management model.
While other proposers offered competitive and innovative solutions, staff determined that Infinity Technologies provides the optimal balance of reliability, continuity, pricing, and opportunity for improvement. The ability to maintain uninterrupted operations while implementing targeted enhancements positions the City to improve service delivery without the risks associated with a full transition to a new provider.
Overall, the proposed agreement with Infinity Technologies supports the City’s objectives of maintaining stable operations, improving service responsiveness, strengthening cybersecurity, and advancing longterm technology modernization efforts.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed Services Agreement with Infinity Technologies will be funded through the City’s adopted budget for Information Technology services. The agreement is structured to provide a fixed monthly cost for core IT and GIS services, ensuring predictability and stability for budgeting purposes. The year-to-year increases in annual cost reflect an annual adjustment of three percent (3%). The proposed Year 1 costs are within and do not exceed the approved budget for Fiscal Year 2026/27.
Year 1: $205,136
Year 2: $211,290
Year 3: $217,628

Service Provider agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth in this section from each and every sub-Service Provider or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Service Provider in the performance of this Agreement naming the Indemnified Parties as additional indemnitees. In the event Service Provider fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required herein, Service Provider agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Service Provider and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or this section. (d) City’s Negligence. The provisions of this section do not apply to claims occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence. The provisions of this section shall not release City from liability arising from gross negligence or willful acts or omissions of City or any and all of its officials, employees and agents.
SECTION 17. INSURANCE.
Service Provider agrees to obtain and maintain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement the insurance policies set forth in Exhibit “C” “Insurance” and made a part of this Agreement. All insurance policies shall be subject to approval by City as to form and content. These requirements are subject to amendment or waiver if so approved in writing by the City Manager. Service Provider agrees to provide City with copies of required policies upon request.
SECTION 18. ASSIGNMENT.
The expertise and experience of Service Provider are material considerations for this Agreement. City has an interest in the qualifications and capability of the persons and entities who will fulfill the duties and obligations imposed upon Service Provider under this Agreement. In recognition of that interest, Service Provider shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any portion of this Agreement or the performance of any of Service Provider’s duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the City. Any attempted assignment shall be ineffective, null and void, and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement entitling City to any and all remedies at law or in equity, including termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 20 863
“Termination of Agreement.” City acknowledges, however, that Service Provider, in the performance of its duties pursuant to this Agreement, may utilize sub-contractors.
SECTION 19. CONTINUITY OF PERSONNEL.
Service Provider shall make every reasonable effort to maintain the stability and continuity of Service Provider’s staff and sub-contractors, if any, assigned to perform the Services. Service Provider shall notify City of any changes in Service Provider’s staff and sub-contractors, if any, assigned to perform the Services prior to and during any such performance.
SECTION 20. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.
(a) City may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, at any time by giving thirty (30) days written notice of termination to Service Provider. In the event such notice is given, Service Provider shall cease immediately all work in progress. (b) Service Provider may terminate this Agreement for cause at any time upon thirty (30) days written notice of termination to City. (c) If either Service Provider or City fail to perform any material obligation under this Agreement, then, in addition to any other remedies, either Service Provider, or City may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice. (d) Upon termination of this Agreement by either Service Provider or City, all property belonging exclusively to City which is in Service Provider’s possession shall be returned to City. Service Provider shall furnish to City a final invoice for work performed and expenses incurred by Service Provider, prepared as set forth in Section 4 “Compensation and Method of Payment” of this Agreement. This final invoice shall be reviewed and paid in the same manner as set forth in Section 4 “Compensation and Method of Payment” of this Agreement.
SECTION 21. DEFAULT.
In the event that Service Provider is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Service Provider for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Service Provider of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Service Provider may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Service Provider is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Service Provider does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under Section 20 “Termination of Agreement.” Any failure on the part of the City to give notice 864
of the Service Provider’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
SECTION 22. EXCUSABLE DELAYS.
Service Provider shall not be liable for damages, including liquidated damages, if any, caused by delay in performance or failure to perform due to causes beyond the control of Service Provider.
