EXHIBIT A
Scope of Services

SAFETY ELEMENT UPDATE
Task 1: Project Kickoff and Background Data Review
Michael Baker will conduct a kick-off meeting/call with the City’s Project Management team to initiate work on both the Safety Element update and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan update (Scope #2, Task 1). The team will review the scope of work, anticipated project schedule, communications protocol, and deliverables; discuss staff expectations; and have an initial discussion of data needs and the community outreach approach. It is assumed this meeting will occur virtually.

Available resource documents pertinent to the LHMP update, Safety Element update, and Emergency Operations Plan update process will be identified and compiled by the City for background review. Applicable resource documents include the City’s existing General Plan and Safety Element, City Emergency Operations Plan/Emergency Action Plan, and any other hazard related assessments or reports. The City shall provide land use data layers from the City GIS database, along with any existing mapped hazard related data for use in identifying vulnerabilities. Michael Baker assumes this project will qualify for the “commonsense rule exemption” found in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

Task 2: Safety Element Update – Crosswalk Matrix and Exhibits Update Michael Baker understands the City's desired approach to streamline the Safety Element Update process to meet OPR's updated guidelines, primarily to account for changes associated with the Housing Element. To prepare the Safety Element update, Michael Baker will prepare a crosswalk matrix outlining required updates to the document. This will include consistency updates based on the recent Housing Element Update, incorporation of the LHMP by reference, incorporation of Evacuation Planning Effort by reference, and general modernization updates as needed. Michael Baker will document all proposed edits to the Safety Element in a matrix, indicating the page number requiring the edit and proposing the edit in redline/strikeout.

A screencheck draft will be provided to the City for one round of comments and review. In coordination with the crosswalk matrix, Michael Baker will also update all existing Safety Element exhibits. One new exhibit will be added to the Safety Element depicting major City evacuation routes. Data from the City prepared evacuation planning effort shall be provided to Michael Baker to create this exhibit for inclusion in the Safety Element update. Exhibits in the Safety Element will be consistent, but not identical to exhibits prepared in the LHMP.

Task 3: Administrative Draft Safety and Element Preparation Upon completion of the proceeding tasks, Michael Baker will prepare an administrative draft Safety Element Update.

This element will include an introduction, existing conditions section, relationship to other elements, and goals and policies. Text prepared as part of the LHMP Update process will be incorporated into the Safety Element update as appropriate. The Safety Element will be consistent with SB 99, Residential Emergency Evacuation Routes and AB 747, Evacuation Routes. Using data from the City prepared evacuation planning efforts, Michael Baker will assist in identifying residential neighborhoods in any natural hazard area that does not have at least two emergency evacuation routes. The Safety Element will also discuss evacuation route capacity, safety and viability under the range of provided emergency scenarios. Michael Baker assumes the City prepared evacuation planning efforts will provide sufficient data and detail for Michael Baker to prepare the Safety Element in accordance with both SB 99 and AB 747, including evaluation of a range of emergency scenarios. Traffic surveys are excluded from Michael Baker's scope of work." In addition, the Safety Element will be prepared in consistency with SB 1241, State Responsibility Areas and Very High Fire Severity Zones. Risk will be assessed in the LHMP and incorporated into Safety Element by reference. Consultation with the appropriate regulatory agencies will occur under Task 4. Michael Baker assumes no major or significant policy changes or overhauls will be required; updates to the Safety Element aim to be straightforward to meet the updated OPR requirements. Formatting would mimic the existing General Plan Elements where feasible, to maintain visual consistency between the City’s documents. Deliverables would include all required components and would clearly respond to OPR guidance for Safety Elements, with focus on consistency with all Housing Element Updates.

Page 212 of 651 ends

Michael Baker will provide an electronic screencheck administrative draft (Microsoft Word) to the City for internal review. Comments and revisions from the City are anticipated to be minor and occur in redline/strike-out and track changes.

Task 4: Public Review Draft Safety Element
Michael Baker will incorporate one consolidated set of comments/revisions on the screencheck administrative draft Safety Element to prepare public review draft documents. Michael Baker will provide an electronic public review draft in PDF and Microsoft Word format to the City. Public review is anticipated to occur over a minimum 30-day period, with the General Plan Elements made available on the City’s website and up to two hardcopies available at locations in the City.

The City will be responsible for collecting public comments/ questions and distributing to Michael Baker at the close of the public review period. At this time, Michael Baker will lead and facilitate consultation with CAL FIRE and the California Department of Conservation to ensure policies are consistent with state regulations as appropriate.

Task 5: Final Safety Element Preparation
Michael Baker will compile all comments received on the public review draft Safety Element and will incorporate changes into the document as necessary. Michael Baker assumes response to 10 letters and comments as part of this work effort. The final Safety Element will be prepared for presentation to Planning Commission and City Council. Michael Baker will provide two staff members to support at Planning Commission and City Council adoption hearings for presentation support and answer questions as appropriate.

EXHIBIT A
Scope of Services

LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
Task 1: LHMP Planning/Development Process
Task 1.1 Project Kickoff and Background Data Review
This task will occur in coordination with Scope #1, Task 1. As a cost saving measure to the City, the Safety Element and LHMP kick-off will be conducted in the same meeting.

Task 1.2 Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee Meetings
Consultant will work with the City to identify stakeholders to participate on the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC). The HMPC will be a major contributor to the planning process and will guide the LHMP development. In accordance with Cal OES/FEMA requirements, the HMPC will consist of both internal city representatives and external partners, such as representatives from neighboring cities, public safety agencies or the County government. Consultant will utilize expertise from the HMPC to provide input on Yorba Linda hazards and identify mitigation projects for implementation. Additional data resources will be solicited from participants. Consultant will facilitate four HMPC meetings including preparation of agendas, meeting minutes, schedules, and action items. City staff will be responsible for securing meeting locations and coordinating HMPC invitation distribution. If COVID-19 restrictions prevent HMPC from gathering in-person, Consultant can provide technology for a virtual meeting via Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or similar. These meetings are anticipated to require a two hours of participation time each, and are expected to cover the following topics:

Meeting 1: Introduction to hazard mitigation planning; explanation of roles/responsibilities; community engagement strategy overview; hazard overview; preliminary data collection.

Meeting 2: Preliminary results and findings of risk assessment; community asset inventory review; group analysis and risk factor development.

Meeting 3: Identification of goals; capability assessment; development of mitigation actions.

Meeting 4: Prioritization of mitigation actions; implementation strategy for mitigation actions; plan maintenance process.

Post Meeting 4: HMPC review of the Initial Draft Plan.

In compliance with FEMA and Cal OES requirements, Consultant will thoroughly document the HMPC planning process including: narrative description of preparation and process; record of dates, attendees and agendas; record of departments, agencies, organizations and persons participating in plan development; and, coordination with City plans and planning mechanisms.

Task 1.3 LHMP Community Outreach
Community engagement is a required component of the LHMP planning. All LHMP outreach activities shall be thoroughly documented with summaries and pictures, for incorporation into the LHMP per Cal OES and FEMA requirements.

Online Community Survey: Consultant will develop an online survey and provide a detailed summary of input received. The survey will be hosted on SurveyMonkey®. The survey will include multiple-choice questions, ranking/ rating scales, and open-ended questions. Consultant will coordinate with the City to make the survey link available on the City’s website. The City will be responsible for distributing and promoting the survey.

Web Content/Social Media: Consultant will develop web content and graphics that can be used on the City’s website or on a webpage that is specifically dedicated to the project, including the LHMP update. The webpage will provide information about the planning process, meeting dates, access to community outreach summaries and draft plan documents when available. Website visitors will have an opportunity to provide input, comment

Page 227 of 651 ends

on the LHMP or ask questions. The City will be responsible for disseminating information and updates on the plan process through the webpage and social media.

Community Workshop: Consultant will facilitate one (1) workshop or pop-up event to solicit in-person input and educate the public about the LHMP update process. Workshops are a fantastic opportunity to inform the community. At the time of outreach planning and scheduling, Consultant will also coordinate with the City Project Management Team to review current COVID-19 gathering restrictions before deciding the type of outreach event. Consultant will work with the Project Management Team to determine the best location and approach to the workshop. Consultant will design one promotional piece per event to publicize the opportunity to participate. The promotional piece will be provided to the City for review, and one round of revisions is assumed. The City will be responsible for the dissemination of the promotional piece.

Task 2: Risk Assessment
Task 2.1 Hazard Identification and Profiles
Following background information review and based on the hazard identification/ranking, Consultant will prepare hazard profiles. Each profile will include a hazard definition, location and extent of past occurrences, the probability of future occurrences, and climate change considerations. A maximum of sixteen (16) profiles will be prepared, including seismic, flood, wildfire, drought, and other hazards identified by the HMPC.

Consultant will work with the HMPC to finalize which hazards will be included in the LHMP, to provide a complete picture of the hazard risk in Yorba Linda. Consultant takes a unique approach to incorporating climate change into the LHMP. Recognizing that many natural hazards (wildfire, flood, drought, etc.) are closely related to climate change, Consultant integrates an in-depth analysis of this correlation on a hazard-by-hazard basis.

This prevents redundancy and allows for all potential impacts/ vulnerabilities to be evaluated with consideration for climate change. This will also allow the City to satisfy climate adaptation requirements to be folded directly into the Safety Element.

Task 2.2 Hazard Mapping
Utilizing our in-house GIS experts, Consultant will prepare GIS base maps and hazard mapping to support the hazard profiles. Working from these base maps, Consultant will confirm a list of critical assets for mapping with the HMPC. The City will provide GIS data including information about parcels, land use, building type/footprint, and any localized hazard maps (if available). Consultant anticipates the City data will require minimal alterations. Current and newly created (as needed) data will be used to develop mapping products to illustrate location, extent, severity, and other information for potential hazards within the service area.

Maps will show the locations of local assets and clearly summarize the intersection of hazard locations and assets. These local assets will include public buildings, critical facilities and infrastructure and will be reviewed and confirmed with the HMPC. Maps will depict the location of parcels, structures, land use, and populations when feasible and structures will be identified by type of use. Concurrent with preparation of the hazard and assets maps, the HMPC will develop the critical facilities list to be used as part of the risk assessment. While critical facilities will be shown in map form, a separate list will be prepared for inclusion in the LHMP.

Preparation of this list is a vital component of the hazard mitigation planning process. Information needed from the City also includes building and content valuation to assist with the quantification of potential losses.

Task 2.3 Vulnerability Assessment
Upon completion of the hazard profiles, Consultant will prepare a vulnerability assessment, using the approved critical facilities list and hazard profiles prepared as part of previous tasks. The vulnerability assessment will consist of an analysis overlaying these two data sets and identifying the facilities that are vulnerable to the profiled hazards. The vulnerability assessment will include the following, based on data availability:

Types/numbers of buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities located within identified hazard areas; an inventory of all repetitive flood loss structures, as defined by FEMA, if applicable; and description of land uses and development trends to advise future land use decisions.

Page 228 of 651 ends

The result of this analysis will be presented in tables identifying facilities/infrastructure and relevant hazards most likely to affect these facilities. Exhibit maps will correspond to this latest information. Upon completion, both the hazard profiles and vulnerability assessment will be presented to the HMPC. In addition, Consultant will evaluate the impacts of natural hazards to vulnerable populations, including those that are reliant on others for their wellbeing, such as young children, individuals with disabilities, individuals dependent on medical equipment, individuals with impaired mobility, as well as people with low socioeconomic levels.

Task 2.4 Capabilities Assessment
A capabilities assessment is a comprehensive review of all the various policies, plans, programs, and procedures that assist in hazard mitigation activities. This portion of the document provides an understanding of the capabilities and tools currently available to Yorba Linda, as well as local, state, federal agencies, that contribute to hazards reduction. The HMPC will review existing capabilities and identify the applicable codes and plans that affect or mitigate the impact of potential hazards in the City.

Task 3 Hazard Mitigation Strategy
Working with the HMPC, goals will be developed to ensure adequate communication of desired end states and provide a foundation for meaningful hazard mitigation actions. The Consultant team will develop a comprehensive range of potential mitigation actions, that will reduce the impacts of each profiled hazard.

Mitigation actions will be developed with consideration for potential future state or federal funding through capital improvement bond programs and/or mitigation grant programs.

Based on FEMA guidance, mitigation actions and projects refer to hazard mitigation action, activity, process, or physical project designated to reduce or eliminate the long-term risks from hazards. A comprehensive mitigation strategy analyzes a wide range of actions from multiple forms of mitigation techniques, including structural projects, nonstructural projects, natural systems protection projects, and educational/awareness programs. Mitigation actions are intended to reduce risk to existing buildings and infrastructure, as well as limit any risk to new development and redevelopment.

Consultant will develop mitigation actions based upon discussions and feedback from the HMPC. We will also develop a process to prioritize identified mitigation actions, and identify the following information:

Responsible Department(s): The agency/department responsible for the action identified.

Potential Funding Source: Sources of future funding that can be used to implement the action.

Priority: General priority of the action (high, medium, low), based on team input.

Relative Cost: The relative cost to implement the action, based on cost categories determined by the HMPC.

Task 4 Hazard Mitigation Plan Maintenance Process
Task 4.1 Monitoring, Evaluating, Implementing and Updating The plan maintenance process will be discussed at the HMPC meetings, including how the City will monitor, evaluate, implement, and update the Plan. Consultant will prepare a chapter that identifies the plan maintenance and implementation steps over the five-year plan period. This chapter will describe the methods and schedule for monitoring, evaluation of, and updating of the plan. The chapter will also describe how the mitigation plan elements will be incorporated into other planning mechanisms, as well as how the public will continue to remain involved throughout the future planning process.

Task 4.2 Prepare Draft LHMP for HMPC Review
Consultant will compile the information into an electronic administrative draft version of the LHMP. Our approach of working closely with the HMPC has shown to expedite the review process, because HMPC members have already reviewed LHMP content through by the time the administrative draft document is complete. The City will be responsible for collecting HMPC comments and providing to Consultant at the end of the review period. HMPC comments (as applicable) will be incorporated to prepare an updated public review draft document.

Page 229 of 651 ends

Task 4.3 Prepare Public Review Draft LHMP
Consultant will prepare the public review draft LHMP. The draft document will be made available to the public for comment and feedback to be incorporated into the LHMP prior to submitting to Cal OES and FEMA for review. Consultant anticipates a 30-day public review period, with the LHMP made available on the City’s website.

Task 4.4 Prepare Plan Submittal for Cal OES/FEMA Review Consultant will compile comments received on the public review draft LHMP for inclusion as an appendix item and revise the LHMP. The LHMP will then be submitted to Cal OES for initial review; the Consultant team will address any comments/concerns from Cal OES before the final LHMP is submitted to FEMA. Consultant will prepare the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Plan Review Tool that will accompany the submission.

Task 4.5 Obtain Conditional Approval Pending Adoption from FEMA If comments are provided by Cal OES and/or FEMA, requiring plan revisions, Consultant will revise the LHMP. In the past, Consultant has successfully completed plans that did not require revisions or required only minor revisions by FEMA prior to adoption, which is our goal for Yorba Linda’s LHMP. If revisions are necessary, Consultant will work with Cal OES FEMA to address them to ensure an “approvable pending adoption” (APA) determination.

Task 4.6 Plan Adoption
Once the LHMP has received an APA determination, the Consultant team will present the final LHMP to the City Council for adoption. The City must formally adopt the LHMP within one calendar year of receipt of FEMA APA designation. After adoption, Consultant will submit proof of adoption to FEMA, via the Board’s resolution. Five (5) Final copies of the adopted LHMP will be transmitted to the City.

Exhibit A
Scope of Services
CAL FIRE – FIRE PREVENTION GRANT
CAL FIRE – FIRE PREVENTION GRANT MANAGEMENT
The CAL FIRE grant highlights the multiple avenues required to plan, implement, and preserve native habitat while eliminating fuels that would contribute to wildfire potential. Michael Baker can provide all the required services in-house, through an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach. This integrated approach increases creativity and promotes long term sustainability, while ensuring that grant requirements are met.

Baseline conditions of the site will be defined early. Conditions such as biological resources and potential jurisdictional drainage features will be mapped. All files (GIS layers) will be provided to the City of their file.

These plans will serve as the foundation for which vegetation will be removed and what resources should be noted during maintenance activities. Additionally, the City can ultimately utilize this information when they prepare the Restoration Plan.

Similar to the previous scopes above, our team’s approach to public participation offers continuous opportunities for meaningful input and involvement/ownership throughout the life of the project-the goal to develop a consensus-based vision, local ownership, and to foster community awareness.

While conducting preconstruction surveys and any monitoring during vegetation removal, the Biological Monitor would remain alert for the presence of coastal California gnatcatcher, a federally-listed threatened species which could potentially occur within or near some of the project sites. If this or any other special-status species is detected, the Biological Monitor would coordinate with the City/ Contractor to notify the appropriate regulatory agencies and/or provide recommendations to avoid impacts to such species. We routinely lead, manage, and coordinate with maintenance contractors to ensure that project objectives are met while achieving environmental compliance. Michael Baker’s natural resource specialists will work closely with the City and designated Contractor to define roles and responsibilities for project implementation. Our success is based on weekly coordination with maintenance crews, where we provide guidance for invasive species removal and highlight any variables that may arise that may have not been projected in the original approach.

Adaptive management is key since the open space areas are dynamic, not just year to year, but season to season.

Our qualitative assessments will incorporate the documentation needed to fulfill grant conditions. Should removal methods be ineffective during the first two years of the project, our Team will work with the Contractor to determine alternate methods by using test plots within the project site.

Task 1: Project Kickoff
Michael Baker will conduct a kick-off meeting/call with the City’s Project Management team to initiate work on the Fire Prevention Grant. The team will review the scope of work, anticipated project schedule, communications protocol, and deliverables; discuss staff expectations; and have an initial discussion of data needs and the community outreach approach. Schedules of removals can be determined based on the vegetation composition at each of the seven sites. Following this meeting, the Project Manager will begin working on the treatment plan schedule and tracking matrix (Task 2.1 below).

Task 2: Project Management
Task 2.1 Multi-Year Fuel Reduction Treatment Plan Schedule, Inspections, and Invoice Review Working with the City, the Project Manager will develop a tracking table based on scope of work and anticipated timelines. The schedule will be relayed to the contractor, and removals will be timed to avoid nesting bird season when possible. Through coordination and oversight of the contractor, the project manager will complete progress reports, amend funding agreement, scope of work, budget or schedule, and prepare an

Page 244 of 651 ends

adequate audit trail. Additionally, quarterly reports on emissions and progress reports will be submitted to CAL FIRE to fulfill grant requirements. The project manager will also prepare and file the Final Report to CAL FIRE, following review and approval of the City.

Task 2.2 Coordination on the EOP Update
Close coordination will occur with the Project Manager of Scope #3, EOP, previously detailed. The EOP will be incorporated into CAL FIRE documentation so grant requirements are met.

Task 2.3 Review of Restoration and Sustainability Plan and Evacuation Plan Michael Baker has included time for our restoration ecologists and community planners to review the Restoration and Sustainability Plan and Evacuation Plan prepared by the City. Anticipated support includes review of draft and final documents, comments/response to comments, technical review and research, and assistance with graphics, where required. Our schedule shows coordination of the document throughout the entire task duration (this allows for various reviews along the process rather than only at the final draft).

Task 2.4 CAL FIRE Approval and Closeout of Grant
As part of the grant requirements, Michael Baker will work with the City to prepare a final accomplishment report for submittal to CAL FIRE within 30 days of the project completion. Utilizing our in-house air and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Specialists, Michael Baker will provide the appropriate materials for completing program quantification methodology and use the current reporting templates provided by the CAL FIRE. Most importantly, our Project Management tasks includes time for significant coordination with OCFA and the City to ensure that all grant requirements are met.

Task 3: CEQA and Biological Compliance
Task 3.1 Notice of Exemption Preparation
Following direction outlined in Section E of the CAL FIRE grant, it is anticipated the project sites will fall under a Notice of Exemption (NOE) for CEQA. Filing of NOEs will occur for sites 1,3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, as site 2 has CEQA completed. Each site will be treated and filed as its own project, in the chance there are any delays for an individual site during the final approval process. Should this be the case, any approved sites can move forward with the removals and the Project Manager can update the proposed schedule with the contractor. In the event it is determined that there is a potential for a significant impact to occur under CEQA for one or more of the sites and that a Negative Declaration is required, Michael Baker will work with the City to reallocate funding within the grant budget. Should an Environmental Impact Report be required, Michael Baker can provide these services under a separate scope and fee.

Task 3.2 Baseline Documentation of Project Sites
Prior to the start of removal activities, Michael Baker will document existing site conditions in order to provide clear direction to the contractor. Documentation will include site photos, plant lists, and GPS data on native and sensitive species to avoid. Site boundaries and notes will be saved as shapefiles to be provided to the City and contractor. Additionally, for sites 1, 2, and 3, a jurisdictional delineation will be conducted to determine the presence/absence of state or federal waters. If present, regulatory agency coordination will take place under Task 3.3 outlined below.

Task 3.3 Regulatory Permitting
Should jurisdictional features be noted during the baseline surveys, Michael Baker will coordinate with California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) on behalf of the City. Michael Baker will prepare and process a notification submittal package for a CDFW Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement (SAA) pursuant to the California Fish and Wildlife Code.

Page 245 of 651 ends

Task 3.4 ISHB Surveys
Michael Baker has provided ISHB surveys for OC Public Works as well as throughout OC Parks. Additionally strong relationships with the University of California has allowed us to utilize lab testing and experts to assist in the surveys when required. During the biological surveys, Michael Baker will conduct ISHB surveys of each removal area to identify infested trees for the contractor. Target ISHB trees species located within the removal sites will be evaluated for signs of infestation. Examples of potential ISHB sign include, but are not limited to, small bore holes, bark staining, and frass exudate. Any native tree found to have sign of ISHB is to be evaluated and ranked based on the standards utilized by UCANR for ISHB surveys (UCANR 2020a). Specifically, infestation levels on each tree observed to have sign would be categorized as low (<50 entry holes), moderate (50–<150 entry holes, no dieback), heavy (>150 entry holes, no dieback), and severe (>150 entry holes, dieback). General notes and summary categorization level for trees identified with ISHB infestation will be recorded.

As part of this effort, Michael Baker will work with OCFA for removals and coordination due to their current work in Chino Hills State Park. Following the surveys, a memo will be prepared to summarize the results of the ISHB field surveys and include GPS locations of the infested trees to be removed.

Task 3.5 Pre-Construction Surveys
Michael Baker will provide a qualified biologist (“Designated Biologist”) to conduct a general pre-construction survey throughout the removal areas where suitable habitat is present to support special-status wildlife. The preconstruction survey will focus on any special-status species that could occur in the area. The survey will be conducted at least three (3) days prior to vegetation removal occurring. If any special-status species are found and have the potential to be adversely affected by the project, Michael Baker will coordinate with the CDFW to determine appropriate avoidance and minimization measures to be implemented during construction.

Results of the pre-construction survey will be summarized in a short memorandum that includes a summary of the methods, site conditions, and results of the survey. Site photographs taken during the field survey and GIS figures will be included in the report to further enhance written text and visually identify specific biological information as it relates to the project site. This task includes time for GIS analysis to support the preparation of one (1) figure for each site.

Michael Baker’s qualified biologists will conduct one (1) nesting bird clearance survey at each site within seven (7) days prior to initiating any ground disturbing or vegetation removal activities during the nesting season (March 15 to September 15), followed by weekly surveys to ensure that birds do not nest in work areas or in vegetation to be removed. The project site shall be surveyed by walking meandering transects in nesting habitat and in areas up to 150 meters (500 feet) of the parcel, at the discretion of the surveyor (survey area). Methods to detect the presence of nesting birds shall include direct observation, aural detection, and signs of presence (i.e., scat, pellets, white-wash, feathers, tracks, and prey remains). All trees, shrubs, and ground dwellings shall be searched for the possible presence of active bird nests.

Michael Baker will also record all bird species observed during the clearance survey and document behaviors that suggest breeding activity. Binoculars will be used to observe distant birds and their activity around potential nesting habitat. The location of any active nests or breeding behaviors will be recorded using a handheld GPS unit, if found. This task does not include time for any protocol-level surveys.

Task 3.6 Weekly Inspections
Michael Baker will conduct periodic monitoring of the vegetation removal as needed to ensure that impacts to native habitats are minimized. The Biologist will have the authority to stop work if required (i.e. infested trees are not being properly removed and hauled off site). The Biologist will: (a) document all construction activities pertaining to biological resources while on-site; (b) provide a weekly monitoring report; (c) notify the City immediately if unauthorized impacts to biological resources occur; and (d) advise the contractor, as needed, to ensure effective and appropriate implementation of biological avoidance and minimization measures for

Page 246 of 651 ends

specific site conditions. Following monitoring visits, Michael Baker will submit a weekly e-mail to the client, along with site photographs, summarizing all monitoring efforts performed during the week and any corrective measures that were implemented to maintain compliance with all regulatory permits, agreements, and authorizations.

Task 4: Community Engagement
Task 4.1 Educational Signage
The Michael Baker team will create educational signage through collaboration with the City and OCFA to provide messaging of wildfire prevention activities.

TASK 4.2 Fire Prevention Educational Meetings
Michael Baker will work with OCFA and the City on an annual basis (for up to 3 years or 3 meetings) to educate residents on wildfire prevention through community meetings to engage residents on wildfire prevention. At minimum, topics will include the development of defensible space zones on their property, weed abatement, standards for safe use of backyard barbeque grills, use of fire-resistant plantings, and other relevant wildfire urban interface fire safety information. These meetings can be grouped with the other outreach meetings associated with Scopes 1-3, if desired by the City.

TASK 4.3 Fire Prevention Mailers
Michael Baker’s graphic design team will work with the City and OCFA to develop fire prevention mailers similar to the example provided in the RFP. The mailer will include methods for weed abatement and encourage regular weed abatement practices.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
Task: 1 EOP Update – Crosswalk Matrix & Exhibits Update To prepare the EOP update, the Michael Baker team will prepare a crosswalk matrix outlining required updates to the document. This will include consistency updates based on the recent Safety Element, LHMP and Evacuation Planning deliverables, and other general modernization updates as needed. Special consideration will be taken with the Wildland Fire Annex, though all EOP sections and annexes will be reviewed for updates.

Michael Baker will gather important information regarding City infrastructure, resources, and contracted services to ensure an updated, comprehensive emergency operations plan that adheres to services in order to ensure, upon completion, an updated, comprehensive emergency operations plan that adheres to the fundamentals of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and incorporates the State’s Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) while meeting the requirements CALOES’ planning guidance as outlined in the 2020 Emergency Plan Review Crosswalk.

Michael Baker will document all proposed edits to the EOP in a matrix, indicating the page number requiring the edit and proposing the edit in redline/strikeout for ease of reference. An electronic screencheck draft will be provided to the City for one round of comments and review. In coordination with the crosswalk matrix, Michael Baker will also prepare exhibit updates to the plan as needed.

Task: 2 Administrative Draft EOP Preparation
Upon agreement of the needed EOP updates as documented in the EOP crosswalk, Michael Baker will compile the information and required revisions into an administrative draft EOP Update. Michael Baker will provide an electronic screencheck administrative draft (MS Word) to the City for internal review, showing a clean word document and track changes demonstrating where EOP updates were made. Michael Baker anticipates one round of review and comment from the City Project Management team. Comments and revisions from the City are anticipated to occur in redline/ strike-out and track changes.

Page 247 of 651 ends

Task: 3 Final EOP Preparation
Michael Baker will compile all internal comments received on the administrative draft EOP and will incorporate changes into the document as necessary. The final EOP will be prepared for submittal and approval by internal City decision makers, as appropriate. Michael Baker will prepare the EOP Review Crosswalk for Local Government Agencies to accompany the electronic submittal to Cal EOS. The EOP will then be submitted to Cal OES for initial review. If comments are provided by Cal OES requiring plan revisions, Michael Baker will revise the EOP accordingly.

Colleen Callahan
City of Yorba Linda
4845 Casa Loma Avenue
Yorba Linda, CA, 92886
Submitted via email
RE: Proposal to Provide Project Management and Consulting Services for Safety Mitigation Efforts Dear Ms. Callahan,
The City of Yorba Linda (City) is looking for a partner to increase wildfire resiliency and safety within its jurisdiction.

A comprehensive plan is needed due to the City’s large border with Chino Hills State Park and the challenges that are associated with wildfire risk, land management, and vegetation maintenance. Michael Baker International, Inc. (Michael Baker) understands your need to update and integrate your General Plan - Safety Element, Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, Emergency Operations Plan, and CAL FIRE Prevention Grant deliverables into a streamlined work process. The City is home for many of our staff members and we have a strong desire and vested interest to make a difference and partner with you to establish consistency with all safety related documents.

Michael Baker has a history of preparing and delivering safety and hazard mitigation planning services while making sure grant requirements, such as scheduling and financial tracking, are met. Michael Baker’s breadth and depth of experience will provide the City with an integrated, effective, and user-friendly Safety Mitigation Plan.

Our history in supporting Orange County municipalities with both planning and hazard mitigation is strengthened by our experience in long-range, adaptation, and emergency response planning. Our local team consists of highly passionate professionals, who approach planning projects with straightforward goals: at the end of our projects, clients have the skills and abilities to pursue mitigation actions and implementation actions that make the City safer and more resilient. Michael Baker specifically designs policies, mitigation actions and implementation actions to integrate with current programs and activities at the City (instead of adding to them). Our approach to this project will provide the City with an updated Safety Element and Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), along with a brand new Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) to serve the community into the future. These documents, coupled with an active and multi-year fire prevention/maintenance program will increase the City’s resiliency.

(2020) Michael Baker performed complete streets design services to help transform 1.6 miles of Imperial Beach Boulevard into a public space accessible to pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit and motor vehicles alike. As a part of the ATP grant funding, the City received an additional non-infrastructure grant funding for the project and decided to use part of the funding for public outreach. This included creating a website and updating it periodically. Other avenues of engagement included social media updates both in English and Spanish.

An art contest was organized for the high school art students, and the winning designs were used for creating etching patterns on the sidewalk. A scavenger hunt was organized instead of a planned open streets event due to COVID 19 for the project’s grand opening.

Rio Prado and Bonsall Parks, San Diego County, California. County of San Diego.

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT LEAD. (2019) Michael Baker was retained by the County of San Diego Parks and Recreation Department to develop two park sites: Rio Prado and Bonsall Park. The project included a series of community workshops to develop community-based park designs that relate to the San Luis Rey River Park Master Plan’s goals. The first workshop was designed to understand the community’s needs. The workshop was replicated in an online survey. Based on the results, active and passive park option for both parks were developed and the community was asked to comment.

Comments received will guide the final park plans for both sites.

Lincoln Acres Park Expansion, San Diego County, California. County of San Diego.

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT LEAD. (2019) Served as a public engagement lead to help with the expansion of the Lincoln Acres Park to a newly acquired parcel to the east. Public engagement included three workshops. The first one was intended to listen to the community about their needs. The second was designed in a charrette format where the participants worked in groups to comment on the two options prepared by Michael Baker and present their findings to the audience. The third was an open house format workshop to present the final Plan to the community.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTING SERVICES FOR SAFETY MITIGATION EFFORTS ▬ PAGE 24 E. REFERENCES
Michael Baker provided engineering and planning services to prepare the first comprehensive revision of the City of Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance since it was first adopted in the 1950s. The project implemented the 2015 General Plan Update and the revised Local Coastal Program and involved a full reorganization of the code consistent with best practices, including the consolidation and streamlining of much of the redundant provisions, new and amended definitions including graphics, and substantial reformatting to make the code user-friendly and easy to navigate.

The entire ordinance was organized into seven articles and formatted to include easy-touse navigational aids. Michael Baker created detailed outlines of the existing and proposed ordinance chapters and sections to demonstrate the proposed reorganization and track the disposition of each section. A comprehensive zone consolidation strategy has led to the consolidation, refinement, and a reduction in the number of zones from 35 to 16 to better align and implement the city’s 12 General Plan land use designations.

Michael Baker also consolidated use and development standards into tables for ease of reference, administration, and comparison and understanding of the zones. The number of listed uses were reduced dramatically. This also significantly reduced redundant text and internal discrepancies and conflicts. Great care was taken to avoid, minimize, and track the potential for creation of non-conforming uses. The updated ordinance also consolidated and coordinated redundant and conflicting administrative procedures contained in six different chapters and five different coastal overlay zones.

Ultimately, separate ordinances were created for the
coastal and non-coastal portions of the city so they
can be updated and managed independently. Michael
Baker’s coastline vulnerability study identified coastal areas most susceptible to damage from sea-level
rise. The report projected potential coastal hazards
over two timeframes (2050 and 2100) and identified
the vulnerability and relative risks of these hazards
to various city assets. Finally, the report provided
possible strategies to improve the resiliency of these
assets.

Assets analyzed in the report included six and a half miles of beaches between Batiquitos and Buena Vista lagoons, public beach access areas, state parks, private property, critical infrastructure like power plants, electrical infrastructure, and water and sewer lines, environmentally sensitive lands, and streets, bicycle and pedestrian paths, and trails. Michael Baker found that especially low-lying areas were vulnerable to coastal flooding, such as Carlsbad Boulevard in the vicinity of Las Encinas Creek, which sustained damage during winter storms.

During July, August, and September of 2020, hundreds of wildfires raged across the state of California, many a direct result of over 14,000 dry lightning strikes, destroying over 10,000 structures. CalRecycle was tasked by Cal OES to manage the coordinated structural debris and hazard tree removal projects for structures and trees damaged by the 2020 Fires. Michael Baker was part of the Tidal Basin Team working with CalRecycle and CalOES to address the FEMA Major Disaster Declarations (4558-DR-CA and 4569-DR-CA) for the Inland Branch 2020 Fires that impacted Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake, Solano, Yuba and Yolo Counties (“Inland Branch”).

Michael Baker was responsible for
addressing environmental, water
and historic property compliance
and other environmental factors
related to emergency clean-up
of four (4) fires within the Inland
Branch, including the LNU Lightning
Complex, August Complex, Glass

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTING SERVICES FOR SAFETY MITIGATION EFFORTS ▬ PAGE 26 E. REFERENCES
Michael Baker prepared the local hazard mitigation plan (LHMP) for Rancho Santa Margarita.

The process included facilitation of planning team meetings with city personnel and stakeholder agencies, as well as coordination with the project management team to ensure that hazards that can impact the community have been adequately characterized and that mitigation actions were developed to reduce the effects of these hazards. The LHMP included an inventory of critical facilities, hazard profiles and prioritization of hazards, a risk assessment, and mitigation actions to reduce potential vulnerabilities in the future.

The work program also included a comprehensive
community outreach strategy that involved a community
survey and focus meetings with a variety of community
members. The community survey gauged the level of
knowledge the community had about disaster issues. In
addition, community members had the opportunity to
provide input on the LHMP and provided input on the plan prior to issuance to the California Office of Emergency Services and Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Michael Baker prepared the update to the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) for the Municipal Water District of Orange County and 18 of its member agencies, which include cities and water/wastewater agencies. The goal of the MJHMP is to help reduce future loss resulting from natural and man-made disasters and to provide increased resiliency to water and wastewater systems serving a majority of Orange County. The update process has included facilitation of five planning team meetings, comprised of representatives from each of the 19 agencies and coordination with the
project management team to ensure the update
adequately characterizes the hazards having
the potential to impact Orange County and
those specific to the communities. The update
has included significant revisions to the Plan to
create annexes for each jurisdiction to ensure
jurisdiction-specific hazards, vulnerabilities,
capabilities, and mitigation actions are identified.

Community outreach efforts have included
a community survey and dissemination of
information via each agencies’ website, social
media, and notification systems.

Irvine Community Development Company
Michael Baker was selected to prepare an update
to the Eastfoot Retarding Basin Emergency
Action Plan (EAP) . The work effort includes
updating the existing EAP, submitting drafts for
public agency review, and submitting the EAP to
the California Governor’s Office of Emergency
Services (Cal OES) for review and approval.

The project includes identifying EAP
responsibilities for each dam owner/operator,
EAP Coordinator, impacted jurisdictions
and public and state agencies. Notification
flowcharts will be developed for various
emergency scenarios to ensure an efficient
and effective emergency response. A four-step
emergency response process will be developed,
outlining the procedures from incident detection
to termination and follow up. The plan will
also identify the preparedness capabilities
and the process for maintaining the EAP. All
the necessary elements of an effective EAP
will be included in the plan to meet Cal OES
requirements.

Peters Canyon Regional Park Resource
Management Plan
Orange County
Michael Baker provided environmental services
and prepared the Resource Management Plan
(RMP) for the entire Peter’s Canyon Regional
Park (Park) in addition to landscape plans and
public outreach material for the Park’s General
Development Plan (GDP). The RMP consisted of
Park-wide field visits, along with the mapping of
sensitive resources, invasive species, potential
mitigation areas, and special-status species
locations. The RMP had numerous chapters.

Public outreach included a series of “open
house” style meetings, where Michael Baker
provided several kiosk and educational tables—
each table presented a different Park topic;
therefore, community members were able to
quickly find their area of interest. Both the RMP
and GDP were approved and are utilized today.

Michael Baker also subsequently supported OC
Parks with restoration work after the 2018 fires,
which damaged most of the northern reservoir
and park areas.

La Pata Avenue Extension Off-Site
Mitigation
Orange County Public Works
Michael Baker serves as a key project team
member on an Orange County Public Works
compensatory mitigation project, which
involves the rehabilitation of a riparian
corridor along Arroyo Trabuco Creek within
O’Neill Regional Park in southern Orange
County. Michael Baker implemented the
offsite mitigation components of the Habitat
Mitigation and Monitoring Plans for the
Avenida La Pata Avenue and Camino Del Rio
Extension Projects, which resulted in the
need to re-establish and enhance 15.97
acres of non-wetland riparian habitat. The
re-establishment and enhancement sites
are sited in an overall management area of
100.5 acres of California Department of Fish
and Wildlife associated riparian vegetation.

Because the mitigation site is within an
existing creek system with large stands of
mature habitat, the team predicted immediate
habitat improvement and increasing
biodiversity and topographic complexity.

Safety Element and Environmental
Justice Element
City of Seal Beach
Michael Baker was selected to prepare an update
to the Safety Element and prepare a new EJU.

The project involves a streamlined community
outreach strategy, development of the new EJU
in compliance with state and federal regulations,
an update of the existing Safety Element,
CEQA compliance in the form of an IS/ND and
assistance through the process of plan adoption
by the Planning Commission and City Council.

The project is a strategic update to the Safety
Element for consistency with the recently
updated Housing Element and prepare the EJU
for incorporation into the City’s General Plan.

Community outreach includes web and social
media content and an online survey to gather
and incorporate input. Updates to the Safety
Element account for changing vulnerability to
natural hazards, including a focus on coastal
related hazards. The project also includes
the preparation of an Initial Study/Negative
Declaration under CEQA for the Safety and EJU.

Housing Element Update, Safety
Element Update, and Environmental
Justice Element Preparation
City of San Juan Capistrano
Michael Baker was selected to prepare a
comprehensive update to the Housing Element
and Safety Element. Because the City is updating
two General Plan Elements, the City is also
required to prepare a new Environmental
Justice Element (EJU). Work effort includes a
community outreach strategy, an analysis of
existing safety conditions and housing needs,
development and development of a new EJU.

A comprehensive public engagement plan
was needed in multiple languages, including
special workshops and outreach to areas of
concentrated needs and coordination with
community-based organizations to promote
fair housing and environmental justice. Michael
Baker partnered with multiple community-based
organizations that were especially active during
the pandemic to reach out to these communities
as these groups have existing relationships with
and are trusted by community residents.

Integrated Mitigation Project
Riverside County Transportation Department
The project is comprised of mitigation for
impacts associated with multiple road
improvement projects within the area. The
Integrated Mitigation Site consists of roughly
75 acres of Diegan Coastal Sage Scrub and
forbland habitat. The focus of the project is
restoring a degraded, intermittent creek prone
to flooding during the wet season. Through the
project design, additional intermittent channels
and seasonal wetlands were created in order to
regulate flows within the project site.

The project included the creation of multiple
native habitats, including Western sycamore
scrub, Southern willow scrub, saltgrass meadow,
native grassland, and coast live oak woodland.

Michael Baker prepared a geometric design plan
illustrating the creek layout, grading, alignments,
and stabilization facilities. Michael Baker
landscape architects prepared plans for the
quantities and placement of native species within
each vegetative community. Currently, the site is
in Year 1 of the five-year mitigation monitoring
program.

General Plan Update
City of Rolling Hills Estates
Michael Baker is updating the general plan
for the City, ensuring that it reflects the City’s
vision of tomorrow and includes a strong
focus on enhancing sustainability, complying
with changes in state law, and improving the
plan’s usefulness. The general plan is focused
and organized around “placemaking” and
sustainability, while maintaining the guiding
principles needed to preserve the unique
character and the neighborhood areas that
make up the community.

Rolling Hills Estates primarily consists of
small, upscale residential neighborhoods
that accentuate a genuine California ranch
lifestyle. The key components of this
equestrian community’s character include
the natural topography, gently rolling hills,
open vistas across ravines, lush landscape,
relatively low traffic volumes, and small-scale,
low-intensity development.

Michael Baker’s corridor plans will include
streetscape designs that cater to a high-end
community. These plans are considerate of the
area and bring neighborhoods and business
districts together in a cohesive way.

Contract Planning
City of Laguna Woods
As part of an ongoing on-call contract, Michael
Baker is currently preparing a comprehensive
update to the city of Laguna Woods General
Plan, building upon past efforts to update the
safety and conservation elements. As part of
the general plan update, the city revisited its
first general plan and updated the underlying
assumptions, data, and analysis, reassessed
community priorities, and established a new,
long-term 25-year vision. In addition to updates
to the housing, noise, mobility, and land use
elements, the project includes the preparation
of the city’s first wellness element addressing
open space, environmental justice, and health.

Michael Baker also prepared an environmental
impact report for this project.

Laguna Woods has a particularly large
population of residents who are older than

65. This was a major component of policy
development for each general plan element. The
city’s demographics were a significant factor in
the preparation of a climate change vulnerability
assessment.

Safety Update
City of Elk Grove
Michael Baker completed an update of the City’s
General Plan Safety Element and Zoning Code to
comply with SB 5 and CVFPP 200-year floodplain
requirements. Revised Safety Element policies
focus on locating new essential government
service facilities and essential health care
facilities outside of 100-year and 200-year
flood hazard zones; identifying construction
methods or other hardening methods for such
facilities to minimize damage for facilities that
remain in flood hazard zones; providing ongoing
review and revision of 100-year floodplain and
200-year floodplain maps; and working with
regional, county, and state agencies to develop
mechanisms to finance design and construction
of facilities to achieve an urban level of flood
protection.

Educational materials were prepared and
public workshops were conducted to provide
information to residents and property owners in
affected areas. Michael Baker is also preparing
an IS/ND to provide CEQA documentation for the
Safety Element update.

Comprehensive General Plan Update
City of Rancho Santa Margarita
Michael Baker is preparing the city’s
Comprehensive General Plan Update and
associated EIR. The City Council adopted its
first General Plan in December 2002. With the
General Plan being 13 years old, the General
Plan Update was authorized as a Capital
Improvement Project beginning in Fiscal Year
(FY) 2015/16 to ensure that the city’s goals
and policies remain appropriate for the next
10 to 15 years. The focus of the update is to
“refresh” the Land Use, Economic Development,
Conservation/Open Space, Safety, and Noise
elements to address the continued vision for
the city. Additionally, updates will ensure that
all elements are consistent with new state
requirements for general plans.

An “all hands” interactive discussion with
city staff was held to discuss the role
each department plays in the update and
implementation of the General Plan. In addition,
a robust public outreach plan to actively engage
the public during this process was implemented.
