BACKGROUND:

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is a law that was established in the early 1970s to document and disclose project -related impacts to the environment during the decision -making process. All discretionary) projects undertaken by the City, including the approvals of private land development projects, are subject to the CEQA review process. Many smaller scale discretionary projects will qualify for an exemption from CEQA, which limits the total necessary review; however, many larger projects may require the preparation of Initial Studies (IS) and/or Negative Declarations (NDs), Mitigated Negative Declarations (MNDs), or Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs), along with supporting environmental technical studies, to provide the substantial evidence for the Project's approval.

During the last several years, the City has had success using consulting firms to provide environmental review services to our own Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Projects. These efforts have helped to streamline and strengthen our approval process and ultimately deliver these I Ministerial projects, meaning projects that are approved by staff, are not subject to CEQA MA

During the last several years, the City has had success using consulting firms to provide environmental review services to our own Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Projects. These efforts have helped to streamline and strengthen our approval process and ultimately deliver these projects to construction. However, despite the effectiveness of using consultants for CIP projects, staff had typically completed the necessary environmental review documents for private projects by in-house staff.

The environmental review process is a core element for the approval process for private land development projects, and the environmental -related impacts are often the key issues that surrounding residents and decision makers have regarding those projects. At the July 13, 2020, City Council Meeting, the City Council recognized that the technical standards, analytical methods, computer models, and legal requirements needed to comply with the CEQA process has continued to expand, and that significant staff resources would be required to prepare these efforts "in-house." As a result, the City expanded its award of contract for on -call environmental services to also include private development projects.

The use of on -call environmental consultants for the review of private land development projects is common to many cities, including every city that surrounds Yucaipa as well as all the cities surveyed in Inland Empire, which includes Calimesa, Redlands, Highland, Loma Linda, Colton, Ontario, and Rancho Cucamonga. Due to similar staff and workload constraints, these cities have relied on environmental professionals to strengthen the review process, which has helped to better protect cities and private development applicants by having the impartial analysis completed by those deemed qualified by the city. Furthermore, this approach has allowed city planning departments to better balance the other daily tasks, including providing a focus on customer service -related elements.

Since the initial execution of these contracts two years ago, City Council has allowed for the use of on -call consultants to complete the necessary environmental review process for private development projects. However, staff ultimately continued to prepare many of these environmental documents or peer reviews in-house for certain private land development projects due to some opposition received for this updated approach, along with a general sentiment given to remain business friendly. However, as the number of project applications has increased, including several more complex General Plan Amendment applications and other potentially contentious projects, the current staffing levels combined with these increasingly complex requirements for CEQA compliance has made it untenable to continue with the practice of staff preparing and reviewing the necessary documents in-house.

At the regular meeting of August 8, 2022, the City Council directed staff to transition to the on - call consultants to best facilitate the process, and to revisit the item in six months to make adjustments as necessary. This decision recognized that the Planning Division has seen a notable increase in the number of private development planning applications received, with the last year representing the highest level of activity in over a decade and the 4th highest since City incorporation. Since that time, most developers have used the on -call services and their projects are on track and on budget. However, several proposals from our on -call consultants were provided to support review of several different General Plan Amendments that have been proposed to "upzone" properties. No action has been taken by the respective developer on those proposals since they were provided several months ago, which has created unnecessary delays for the review and processing of those projects. Consistent with Council direction, this topic was explored at the City M

Council Meeting of February 13, 2023, where staff was then directed to research potential strategies that would maintain a business friendly and cost-conscious approach to the environmental review process.

Staff explored several different options, including adding additional City staff at a senior -level planner position that could be the in-house CEQA "expert;" however, there are several different issues that were identified. The level and consistency of workload varies based on the total number of projects that are in process at a given time, and their workload would then fluctuate from being extremely busy to periods that have less activity. The overall impact to the General Fund would therefore represent a significant cost to taxpayers in fulfilling that specific role, as it is unlikely that they would be able to maintain 100% of their work only on these deposit -based accounts. In addition, the CEQA review process explores 21 distinct topics, with several related technical questions that must be addressed for each of these specific topics and will also require specialized technical studies to support the effort. As these technical reports require the expertise of subject - matter experts, the City would still require and rely on consultants to provide those reports or be presented an increased liability for a CEQA-related lawsuit to occur.

The City also explored the use of a contract planner that, as part of their scope, would be able to complete the CEQA review work. The City currently uses a senior planner from Michael Baker International for staff augmentation. However, Michael Baker requires a separate scope of work dedicated to the CEQA process to ensure that their internal controls and quality control requirements are met as the CEQA review process represents a key element and liability for development projects and any shortcuts through the process can impact their reputation. Staff then reached out to other staff augmentation firms to see if they could provide a cost-effective solution to address project costs. Staff reviewed several different project examples from several of these firms, and ultimately found that their costs were similar to the proposals that are currently received by the City's on -call consultants, but would be done without the benefit of the specific qualifications demonstrated through the City's prior request for proposals/request for qualifications (RFP/RFQ) process.

In light of those options, the City circulated a new RFP/RFQ proposal that was intended to add additional firms to the City's on -call list, thereby providing opportunities for more competitive proposals that may be received.

DISCUSSION:

Following the circulation of a new RFP/RFQ, the following ten (10) firms submitted their qualifications and proposals for these services:

Name of Firm
1 Michael Baker International
2 EPD Solutions, Inc.
3 Tom Dodson and Associates
4 Willdan Engineering
5 The Altum Group
6 Compass Consulting
7 Jennings Environmental
8 Chambers Group
9 EcoTerra Consulting
10 Ruth Villalobos & Associates, Inc.

Taking into consideration the firms' qualifications, previous project experience, and proposed scope of work, three (3) staff members rated the submittals based on the City's administrative qualifications -based selection process. Three (3) firms were deemed the most qualified to provide the services being requested. This would then provide up to seven (7) different firms available to support the required CEQA effort for private development projects. The recommended firms have experience with the City, either as consultants for certain City projects, or for private development that had been peer reviewed by our existing consultants and found to have a high caliber of work.

Staff recommends that Council authorize the Mayor to execute contracts with Michael Baker International, EPD Solutions, Inc, and Ruth Villalobos & Associates, Inc., each in the not -to - exceed amount of $75,000 for providing on -call professional environmental review services for Private Development Projects for Fiscal Years 2022/2023, 2023/2024, and 2024/2025. These firms would provide project -specific bids, and would be contracted directly by, and ultimately accountable to, the City. However, the costs related to these contracts will be passed on to the private developers versus local taxpayers.

In addition, Council may consider allowing more administrative approval for certain projects, which would allow those projects to not be subject to CEQA. As Council is aware, various firms, including attorney groups, labor organizations, and other special interest organizations, exploit CEQA through lengthy public comment letters and CEQA-based lawsuits to stop or otherwise delay the project review process. These tactics have continued to increase over time, but it has been difficult for any meaningful changes at the state level to limit these frivolous comments and lawsuits. Former Governor Jerry Brown had famously joked that "reforming CEQA is the Lord's work," and there has not been any legislative member, Republican or Democrat, that has had success towards meaningful progress despite bipartisan agreement that these tactics have flawed the process. While these fundamental issues remain, ensuring that the City has a robust and defensible process, in combination with providing a wider range of streamlined and CEQA-exempt approval processes, will help to minimize the overall efforts that take City staff away from moving projects along effectively.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Private Development Projects that necessitate the preparation of environmental documents to meet the requirements of CEQA are processed as part of the City's Actual Cost applications, where the project applicant bears the total processing costs of completing the review process for a project. 67 City Council Meeting of May 22, 2023

Therefore, the cost for the proposed services would be the applicant's responsibility, and a deposit for the proposed task order would be required to begin the work. No impact to the General Fund would occur with the proposed recommendations.

CITY OF YUCAIPA 39 ON -CALL ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA) SERVICES FOR PRIVATE LAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

3. Proposal Description
Understanding / Approach to Providing Services
Michael Baker understands the City's need for responsive and cost effective consultants to provide technical studies and CEQA documents or peer review for private developers. As the lead agency under CEQA, the City is responsible for ensuring that technical reports meet the standards and protocols of a range of responsible agencies, local stakeholders are notified or consulted with, and that the type of document prepared for project analysis meets the requirements of CEQA. Along with these lead agency responsibilities, the City serves their local residents and business owners by carefully monitoring costs and schedule and clearly articulating the state and federal requirements and permits that are required for proposed development.

In order to successfully support the City and meet the needs of local developers, the selected consultant must have the right combination of experience, specialization, responsiveness, and dependability, with a proven history of successfully delivering quality planning and environmental planning services. Given the complexity of current special status species, state/federal waters and cultural/tribal resources regulations, the consultant should also have a thorough knowledge of these laws to avoid an oversight that could slow development or require costly mitigation. Michael Baker's primary goal will be to provide the City, in a true collaborative effort, the technical knowledge and support needed to accomplish the City's objectives when we are issued a task order under this contract. We will be available to assist the City in the initial review of a property or proposed project, determining the type and level of detail required for technical studies, and recommend the type of CEQA document that would apply. Our CEQA review will always start with CEQA exemptions, then initial study, and lastly EIR (if warranted). We will clearly identify the resource topic or issue that requires the next level of CEQA analysis and offer recommendations to avoid significant project impacts.
vjJl"C%C1C�1 i0 !?V( O'il ("1 1� C l ICI -Irani i J I V : �� -in -a ,r�C�lili{;�l ril`✓il-Onim ant {l :Stuc-H s D-!ivr�% While the key environmental issues will be clearly identified through the scoping process, defensible California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis of those issues can only be built on a strong foundation of documented project characteristics and substantiated assumptions. Our approach to preparing CEQA documents is to ask ourselves, "What would a judge say about this?" Detailed below are key aspects of our management approach and philosophy that we will bring to the CEQA process.

Project Delivery Process - While each project is substantively different, a similar process is used to effectively and efficiently navigate the project through the environmental and planning process. Some of the key aspects of the delivery process are highlighted below.

Initia/Project Review— Prior to preparing a task order and cost for each project. Michael Baker will conduct an initial project review. This may be limited to a desktop review of aerial photographs, City General Plan, USGS quadrangles, critical habitat maps and other available resources to quickly determine the condition of the property, any sensitive receptors in the project vicinity, and whether there are natural streambeds, native vegetation or potential historic buildings/resources onsite. In the event that the condition or location of a potential resource is unclear from a desktop review, Michael Baker may recommend a brief site visit and photographs to further clarify the technical studies that would be required and any areas of recommended avoidance.

Team Development- The Project Manager will consult with the City to learn about the project and the City's environmental support needs.

The Project Manager will then identify any technical specialists needed to best meet the needs for each individual project. Efficiency will also be a key component of team assembly.

Project Initiation- Michael Baker recommends a project kick-off call with the City (which may include the project developer) to confirm the scope of work, schedule, and other expectations and information. A key part of this discussion includes confirming the project elements including proposed improvements, entitlements, off -site improvements, the project extent, the construction schedule, and any assumptions regarding the project operation.

Project Description - Following project initiation and receipt of key project information, Michael Baker will develop a project description for City review and comment/approval. The approved project description will form a consistent basis for evaluation of the project in the environmental documents.

INTERNATIONAL 91

CITY OF YUCAIPA A, ON -CALL ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA) SERVICES FOR PRIVATE LAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS CEQA Recommendations — As discussed previously, following City approval of the project description, our CEQA analysis review will alway start with CEQA exemptions, then initial study, and lastly EIR (if warranted). We will clearly identify the resource topic or issue that require the next level of CEQA analysis and offer recommendations to avoid significant project impacts. Following the completion of the require) technical studies, our CEQA analysis recommendations may change due to exceedance of a threshold. However, we will be monitoring th. progress of the survey or modeling necessary and will notify the City of any potential CEQA threshold issues as soon as possible.

Responding to Project Changes - A change to the project after the technical studies and analyses are underway can result in the consultan team and City staff expending a great deal of time and energy tracking inconsistencies and making corrections all the way through to th. environmental review process. We evaluate each change by asking a series of questions, including:

Is it a policy change that has no physical impact?
• Is the change incremental, such as an extension of transmission lines or having a road realigned slightly to avoid an impact? • Does the change affect areas not mentioned in the published or submitted documents (notices, permit applications, etc.)? • Will the change affect a resource not previously surveyed or anticipated? All of the above can change the discussion in the environmental documents. Based on the proposed change, we will advise the City on th, impact of the change on the project budget and schedule, and if possible, we will offer solutions that would avoid delaying the project o affecting the budget. Once the City has our assessment of the impact of the change, a decision can be made on whether the modification i important now or if it can wait until after the document is reviewed by the public or the applicable regulatory agency.

Project Coordination and Meetings -Our proposed Project Manager, Shelah Riggs, will be the primary contact with the City and provid. on -going coordination on the project. She will engage the City to report progress, to follow up on action items, and facilitate commen resolution and maintain project momentum. The primary means of communication is anticipated to be email and telephone conferences fo efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, each project will also assume some degree of in -person meetings for comment resolutior problem solving, or field review.

Our team will be available to the City to assist in preparation of Powerpoint Presentations, public notices and draft staff reports. Our projec manager and technical staff are experienced participants in City Planning Commission and City Council meetings, providing projec summaries and answering technical questions. Our project manager has planned and led offsite neighborhood information meetings an, regularly coordinates resource agency project site visits.

Document Production and Delivery - Agency needs have dramatically evolved over the last few years, and substantially reduced th production need for documents. Hard copies were at one time the traditional standard, but now most agencies prefer or require submittz of documents and applications on-line. Many clients favor web posting and distribution of a notice alerting parties where they can acces the environmental documents. Hard copies can be limited to a few available at the library and planning counter, and those required for th State Clearinghouse.

Michael Baker will automatically provide all deliverables via electronic delivery in PDF format. This allows for prompt submittal of a documen as soon as it is complete. MS Word files can also be submitted to allow for redline editing and digital commenting directly by the City. Thi is particularly useful for primary documents (e.g., IS or EIR sections), as well as project notices. Michael Baker will follow-up with hard copie as needed. Michael Baker continues to have an in-house production department with equipment and support staff and will produce an needed hard copy for agency use, public availability, or distribution. Our production department can also support other production via off site services such as off -set printing, and Project Boards. Our support staff is experienced in the environmental distribution process, an, routinely distributes documents to the State Clearinghouse, County Clerk, libraries, and agencies.

Often, as an extension of agency staff, we are asked to peer review studies submitted by applicants. Our in-house team of technical analysts and seasoned practitioners are available to the City to provide peer review services or prepare technical studies for City initiated projects.

Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, and Energy Ana/ysis - Michael Baker is a recognized leader in air quality modeling and analysis, with specialists in the areas of air quality dispersion modeling; construction and operational pollutant modeling; carbon monoxide hotspot modeling; odor analysis; and greenhouse gas emissions analysis. The Michael Baker team has prepared a wide variety of air quality analyses for projects throughout California.

CITY OF YUCAIPA A ON -CALL ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA) SERVICES FOR PRIVATE LAND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS Noise /mpactAssessments/Ana/yses - Michael Baker and Roma Environmental provide a full range of noise impact analyses for public and private sector clients, in accordance with local, state, and federal impact assessment criteria. Michael Baker is skilled in utilizing various models. We use a Type I sound level meter to conduct ambient noise measurements and construction noise monitoring.

TrafPcAna,ysis - Michael Baker has an extensive Traffic Engineering and Transportation Planning Department that works very closed with our Environmental Planning Department. Traffic analysis staff is capable of preparing impact studies ranging from simple housing development projects to regional transportation plans, construction traffic management plans, detour plans, temporary access analyses, and construction haul route studies.

Phase /Environmenta/Assessments - Phase I Environmental Assessments evaluate the potential for hazardous materials on a site based upon readily discernible and/or documented present and historical uses of the property. In accordance with ASTM standards, the Michael Baker team can provide a full range of assessments of potentially impacted properties. �isua//mpactAna/ysis- Michael Baker provides visual simulation studies for aesthetic and visual impact evaluation. Simulations produced by Michael Baker range from simple photo composite/3-D massing studies to full photorealistic depictions. Michael Baker uses state-of- the-art software and advanced techniques such as metric photogrammetry and Real Time Kinematic (RTK) global positioning. Data is processed using state -of -art computer techniques into high -quality graphics that allow the public to understand the visual impacts of a project. Michael Baker provides dynamic views of proposed developments through the use of animations and Matchmove technology (the process of combining computer animation with video). Animations provide visual analysis while moving through or around a project on foot, in a vehicle, or plane. Additionally, Michael Baker has the capabilities to perform viewshed analyses that may be utilized to determine whether or not project features are visible within a one -mile radius. The viewshed map is created using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology and may include Digital Surface Model (DSM) data. DSM data allows Michael Baker to determine view blockage resulting from existing structures, terrain and landscaping (i.e., large trees). Michael Baker prepares shade and shadow analyses by overlaying shadow diagrams on a base map that show the building footprints of the project and the surrounding buildings. The intent of this work is to illustrate any change in shadow patterns that would be directly attributable to the project and to visually demonstrate the effect of these shadows on surrounding land uses, particularly any adjacent residential or other sensitive uses.

CulturalResourcesand Tribal Consultation - Michael Baker provides a diverse array of cultural resources including archeology and historic architecture such as surveys, evaluations, mitigation, remote sensing, building evaluations, archival research, delineations, historic records, preservation, rehabilitation, reuse, and artifact curation. We have a good relationship with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and provide coordination regarding Section 106 consultation, MOUs and other documentation to get project concurrence.

Biological Resources - Michael Baker employs a solution -oriented approach to providing biological resources services and possesses the in-house expertise to conduct field assessments that range from vegetation community/land cover mapping and general biological inventories to focused, protocol -level surveys that meet federal, state, and local requirements. We understand the nuisances associated with the presence of special -status biological resources on a site and provide appropriate impact analyses that result in identifying appropriate avoidance, minimization, and compensatory mitigation measures. In our experience, sometimes a biological constraint to development projects can be avoided or minimized with the right project design features or measures that specifically address potentially significant impacts. To foster timely and successful review of project -specific CEQA/NEPA documentation, Michael Baker's biological resources technical team provides the requisite insight to prepare implementable and agency -approved measures for pre-, during, and post -construction commitments that offset potential impacts. Michael Baker has developed and successfully implemented numerous biological monitoring programs to satisfy both the goals of development and the requirements of CEQA.

Wet/ands andJurisdirtiona/Waters Delineations - Michael Baker's Professional Wetland Scientists perform aquatic resource delineations on projects that support state and federal streambeds and/or wetlands to meet the criteria of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Our team's close working relationship with local resource agency staff ensures that our delineation reports include all data required and that our mapping is accurate and in compliance with the most recent Regional Guidance letters. Michael Baker will work closely with the City and each project developer to assure that the jurisdictional baseline is provided as soon as possible in the planning process to prioritize avoidance of temporary and permanent impacts to state and federal waters. Once a project design is selected, we accurately assess the acreage and linear feet of any temporary and permanent project impacts using GIS software. Our staff is also extensively involved with professional organizations, including the Society of Wetland Scientists, which enhances regulatory -agency negotiations and high -trusted relationships with all levels at the regulatory agencies. 112

The project site is located on the north side of Santa Ana Avenue, between Catawba Avenue and Citrus Avenue. The project involves the merger of multiple parcels into one approximately 19.9 acre parcel. The project proposes the development of an approximate 424,427 square foot warehouse.

The project is located within the Southwest Industrial Park (SWIP) Specific Plan.

Ridge Fontana ONE Warehouse Addendum EIR - Michael Baker prepared an Addendum EIR for the Ridge Fontana ONE project. The Ridge Fontana ONE project is a planned single building, 318,877 SF high cube warehouse/distribution building to be constructed on 13.83 acres at the Southeast corner of Santa Ana Avenue and Catawba Avenue in the City of Fontana. The building is planned to consist of up to 10,000 SF of office space that can be located in either the NE corner of the building or the SW corner of the building in varying square footages totaling 10,000 SF. The building will have 42 dock high doors, 2 drive-in ramp doors, 60 truck trailer parking stalls, and 149 automobile parking stalls. The project will also have a 186 foot deep truck court used to service the 42 dock high doors, 2 drive-in ramp doors and 60 truck trailer parking stalls. An approximate 3,400 linear feet Master Storm Drain system within the Catawba Avenue right-of-way will also be constructed. The storm drain will vary in size from an 8' x 4' concrete box tapering north to a 24" reinforced concrete pipe. The project is located within the Southwest Industrial Park (SWIP) Specific Plan.

Arrow Recovery Warehouses ISMND - Michael Baker prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed Arrow Recovery Warehouse Project. The project involved the construction of two tilt -up buildings, one being 39,220 square feet and the second 33,800 square feet. The buildings would operate as a precious metal refinery and electronic recovery facility. The proposed use of the project site would potentially include the uses of chemicals such as sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, sodium cyanide, and sodium meta-bisulfide.

Key issues associated with the project included the use of chemicals in the proposed facility and the transport of chemicals to and from the project site. In order to ensure that environmental impacts associated with hazards and hazardous materials are fully analyzed, Michael Baker selected internal staff with technical specialists in hazards and hazardous materials to perform this analysis. 101

City of Yucaipa
ATTN: Development Services Department - Benjamin Matlock 34272 Yucaipa Boulevard
Yucaipa, California 92399
Dear Mr. Matlock,
EPD Solutions, Inc. (EPD) is pleased to present this Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) to the City of Yucaipa in response to the Request for Proposal/Request for Qualifications (RFP/RFQ) for On -Call Environmental Services. We are committed to the City's vision, as outlined in the General Plan, and sensitive to the City's needs to protect and enhance its quality of life, continue to provide housing for all lifestyles, and manage development in a manner that ensures adequate and timely public services and infrastructure while limiting impacts on the natural environment.

Based on a review of the RFP/RFQ, we understand the City seeks a consultant capable of providing services on an as -needed or on -call basis for the Yucaipa Development Services Department. EPD has experience in providing planning and environmental consulting services including general planning -related development and land use project review, technical plan checks, preparation of staff reports, technical studies, and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documents for numerous agencies. We are currently on -call environmental consultants for the Los Angeles County Public Works Department, County of San Bernardino, and Cities of Cypress, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, San Clemente, Tustin, and Westminster, amongst others. Further, EPD has recent, successful experience supporting the City of Yucaipa with environmental compliance on complex projects, including the Yucaipa County Line Warehouse (2022).

The EPD team has extensive experience in multifaceted CEQA assignments within San Bernardino County, the greater Southern California region, and are familiar with Yucaipa's local plans and policies. Our management and technical team have unique experience with a wide range of planning, development, and infrastructure projects, from residential infill projects to master -planned communities. As such, our experience includes program -level, tiered, and project -specific documentation.

We view this opportunity as a partnership in which we are an extension of Department staff as they manage development projects through the environmental documentation process. We believe we are the right firm to support the City of Yucaipa for the following reasons:
■ EPD has a proven track record as a leader in environmental documentation experience. EPD's team has completed dozens of documents in compliance with CEQA. These documents have included CEQA exemptions, Mitigated Negative Declarations (MND), and Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) for a wide array of projects, including residential developments, small- and large-scale commercial and industrial facilities, master plans and General Plans. I am EPD's Vice President of Environmental Planning and CEQA Project Manager and have worked on projects as diverse as the General Plan EIR for Los Angeles County, CEQA analyses for industrial warehouses, and infill residential City of Yucaipa On -Call Environmental Services SOO
141

communities. With this experience, my team and I are able to produce CEQA documents of the highest quality for any type of project proposed.
■ EPD offers a wide range of in-house capabilities. EPD brings to City of Yucaipa an experienced team skilled in preparation of IS/MNDs and knowledgeable about CEQA standards and expectations. EPD maintains in-house staff with advanced capabilities in all topic areas required for analysis. EPD will prepare or peer -review any required air quality/greenhouse gas analyses, energy analyses, and traffic analyses. We are including subconsultants to provide specialized expertise in the fields of biological resources (Hernandez Environmental Services); cultural, paleontological, and historical resources (Brian F. Smith & Associates, Inc.); air quality, GHG and energy analysis (EPD Solutions, Inc), noise analysis (LSA Associates, Inc.); hazardous materials and initial site assessments (Hillman Consulting); and traffic assessments (EPD Solutions, Inc.). ■ EPD understands what it takes to implement complex multi -faceted projects. For many of our clients, we fulfill the complete range of activities required to successfully comply with CEQA, including the preparation of technical studies, consultations with outside agencies, preparation of all required notices, coordination of scoping meetings, reprographics, and meeting presentations. Our staff functions as an extension of City staff, managing as much or as little as requested for each project. ■ EPD recognizes that availability and responsiveness are a top priority. The proposed CEQA documentation would be managed by principal -level staff, who would be available as required to attend in -person meetings or conference calls with City staff to ensure information exchange is smooth and any issues that arise are resolved quickly.

The following individuals are authorized to negotiate with the City on behalf of EPD Solutions, Inc.:

3. Proposal Description
EPD will provide CEQA support services to the City as -needed, predominately for smaller scale projects requiring modest, yet thorough, analysis and cost-consciousness. EPD will examine the scope of each project to determine the appropriate level of CEQA review. Where appropriate, EPD will recommend the use of a categorical or statutory exemption. Where exemptions are not feasible, EPD will examine options for CEQA streamlining or the use of an addendum to an existing CEQA document (ND, MND, or EIR if necessary).

EPD is able to deliver budget- and schedule -friendly projects through their use of highly experienced and well-rounded staff. EPD has completed hundreds of CEQA documents over the last 10 years, and as a smaller firm, EPD's staff has gained considerable and diverse experience, which makes us extremely versatile and efficient. Each CEQA project is managed and written by seasoned project managers, which minimizes the need for substantial revision and coordination time/costs. EPD leverages tools, such as Smartsheets, to manage workload and ensure delivery of projects on time (and earlier whenever possible) and within budget. We prioritize communication and always provide immediate awareness of any potential issues or concerns. Our subconsultants are cross trained in multiple disciplines and are familiar with the CEQA process, which provides convenience and consistency in the production of technical studies.

Environmental Services
Services include, but are not limited to preparation of documents, distribution and filing of environmental noticing, preparation of studies and technical reports as required by the CEQA and NEPA including, but not limited to:

Project Approach
In the outline of tasks below, we demonstrate our team's approach and organization necessary to prepare various types of environmental documents and technical studies/memorandums, including the issues involved and plans to address them. The scope of services details the process EPD proposes to use in efficiently producing reliable, quality, and defensible environmental documents for the City as part of CEQA compliance and assisting with review of related documentation submitted by applicants.

EPD's approach to environmental analysis and regulation compliance is to assess early and often the projects against environmental requirements and be an active participant in concert with the City as projects are proposed, considered by City decision makers, and implemented. Our desire to be involved is with the intention of streamlining the environmental review process by guiding and informing the design, approval and construction processes to avoid significant environmental effects to extent feasible, limit project delays, reduce costs, and prevent unforeseen issues from arising related to environmental compliance. Our general approach to CEQA/NEPA projects follows these steps:

Task t. Project Initiation and Technical Study Preparation When assigned a project pursuant to this RFP, EPD will develop a project environmental compliance strategy in close coordination with the City. This will come from an early and thorough assessment of the environmental and regulatory conditions in which the project will be considered and executed.

As a first step in project implementation, EPD will coordinate with City staff to establish roles and protocols to guide communication between staff and EPD. The purpose of this step is to establish and maintain 4 City of Yucaipa On -Call Environmental Services SOQ
144

credibility with the community and ensure the legal defensibility of the CEQA documentation. This step will occur within five working days of receiving a notice to proceed.

EPD will schedule a project initiation meeting with City staff to:

1. Obtain background information on the project, project plans, additional existing relevant technical studies, and any other pertinent information;

2. Discuss any updates to the technical studies are needed;

3. Discuss the team's approach to the key issues and confirm project objectives; .4. Identify data needs and other information needed for EPD to complete its scope of work; and

5. Refine the project scope and environmental review schedule.

EPD will also review project plans, any relevant regulatory documents or studies, and other project documentation to assist in understanding the framework within which the project is going to be implemented.

EPD will review all options when recommending the appropriate environmental document required for CEQA compliance. This includes the use of Statutory or Categorical Exemptions, Addendums or 15183 Streamlining documentation, and preparation of Negative or Mitigated Negative Declarations. In the event the project does not qualify for a lower level CEQA document, EPD will prepare an EIR if necessary. EPD will present its findings to the City for consideration as a guide for the later steps. EPD will request additional information, as needed from the City to begin subsequent tasks.

At this initial stage, EPD will assist the City in meeting Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) and Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) requirements by drafting consultation letters and mailing to Tribal Representatives as determined by the City's AB 52 Tribal Consultation list and/or as provided by the NAHC. If requested, EPD can manage the responses. We have extensive experience in conducting tribal consultations, and as a value-added service, EPD will assist the City with organizing and facilitating any required tribal consultations.

Technical Studies
As part of the project initiation, EPD will review environmental and technical reports commissioned by the applicant for CEQA. We will provide written comments to the City to forward to the applicant team, and at the City's discretion, could coordinate with the applicant's subconsultants directly.

Various technical studies may be required in support of the project. The types of studies needed will vary based on the scope of the project. EPD and its consultants have the ability to complete the following studies:
• Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Impact Analysis, Energy Consumption Calculations, and Health Risk Assessment — EPD Solutions
• Traffic Study/VMT Analysis — EPD Solutions
• Community Impact Assessments — EPD Solutions
• Visual Impact Analysis — EPD Solutions
• Noise/Vibration Impact Analysis — LSA Associates, Inc. • Cultural Report (Archeological, Historic, and Paleontological Resources Assessments) — BFSA Environmental Services

Task 2 Project Description
Prior to the initiation of the environmental clearance document, EPD will develop a detailed project description. This will require all available plans from the applicant, including civil, architectural, and landscape plans, as well as the full application package for the project.

The project description is a critical first step in the CEQA compliance process. With the background information obtained during the initial entitlement phases, we will prepare a project description providing adequate information to allow for an efficient and well -supported analysis of all environmental issue areas to be studied in the document.

One of the keys to successful CEQA compliance is a clear definition of the project and its components. The project description must be complete, comprehensive, stable and finite in order to analyze the impacts accurately and fully. The project description will need to describe the scope of project improvements, implementation schedule and phasing, infrastructure requirements, construction process, and any offsite improvements required for implementation of the proposed project. As needed, we will identify and seek out any additional information needed to develop a thorough and complete project description.

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 measures that would minimize environmental impacts, a process known as "mitigation by design." Subsequent to this initial analysis, EPD will discuss with the project team the results and identify any potential issues relative to the impact analysis.

EPD will provide a draft of the project description to the project team for review prior to using it in the application package and CEQA document. EPD will make revisions as necessary. One round of revisions is assumed.

Task 3. Draft Exemption or Initial Study
Once the project strategy has been developed and considered by the City, EPD will prepare or review the Initial Study checklist to determine the appropriate CEQA documentation for the project. EPD will identify technical experts responsible for preparation of necessary environmental surveys and studies (e.g., biological, noise, archaeological, historical, etc.) and will assign staff responsible for completing all tasks.

Our approach to all projects focuses on collaboration. Our research conducted as part of this task, in close collaboration with our technical team, will assure a comprehensive Draft Exemption or Initial Study is conducted, and potential issues are identified upfront, as well as opportunities to avoid such issues through project design refinements. The Draft Exemption or Initial Study will be based on the most current CEQA City of Yucaipa On -Call Environmental Services SOQ
146

requirements and checklist per the State CEQA Guidelines, combined with any local amendments made by the City. Where a project does not qualify for an exemption, CEQA streamlining documents (such as a 15183) will be considered for appropriateness. If an exemption or streamlining document is not appropriate for the project, EPD will move forward with preparation of an ND or MND with City concurrence.

Additionally, EPD will advise the City early on if the project involves a Federal nexus and requires NEPA documentation, in which case, an environmental assessment will be prepared.

Task 4. Draft Exemption, ND, MND (or EIR if necessary)
EPD will initiate preparation of the draft CEQA documentation, as applicable, upon completion of the Draft Exemption, Initial Study, Addendum, or Streamlining Document and will prepare all notices and distribute copies of the document to public agencies per the CEQA Guidelines. During the preparation of the environmental documents, EPD will maintain regular communication with the City as lead agency as well as with any responsible agencies (e.g., Caltrans, Department of Fish and Wildlife, etc.). As part of the environmental documentation task, EPD will prescribe avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures, as needed, that are effective while also being feasible. To expedite the process, we prepare a complete screen check document for review and comment, which is more efficient than submittal of selected sections on an incremental basis. Adequate time will be provided in the project schedule for the City's review of the screen check and final drafts. Additionally, EPD will prepare and distribute all required notices and mailings including, but not limited to, the Notice of Exemption (NOE), Notice of Completion (NOC), the Notice of Intent (NO[) to Adopt a Negative Declaration, Notice of Preparation and Availability (NOA and NOP) (for EIRs) as necessary (Task 8). If the project requires NEPA, EPD will prepare and distribute the finding of no significant impact (FONSI) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), as needed.

Task 5. Response to Comments and Final MND (or EIR as necessary) The public review period and response to comments are dependent on the level of CEQA document prepared. For example, an Addendum and an Exemption require no public review period, a Negative Declaration or MND require a 20- or 30-day review period (with the longer period required if State 7 City of Yucaipa On -Call Environmental Services SOQ
147

agencies are noticed through the State Clearinghouse), and an EIR requires a 45-day public review period.

Following the close of the public comment period, if required, EPD will review any comments regarding the contents of the environmental document. A strategy meeting will be held with the City to discuss the comments, the City's preferred format for the responses, and to identify any information or data needs from City staff or the applicant team to address the comments. EPD will prepare a draft Response to Comments document, coordinating with the City for assistance as necessary. If necessary, the draft environmental document will be revised to reflect any substantial changes made in Response to Comments. A Final ND/MND (or Final EIR as necessary) will be prepared and provided to the City for review.

Task 6. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) An MMRP will be prepared for MNDs (and EIRs as needed) pursuant to Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code. It will be presented in standard City format and will identify the potentially significant impacts that would result from the project, mitigation measures for each impact, the time at which each measure will need to be conducted, the entity responsible for implementing the mitigation measure, and the City department or other agency responsible for monitoring the mitigation effort and ensuring its success.

Task 7. Findings (as necessary)
For adoption of CEQA documentation, EPD will prepare all necessary CEQA findings with the City. A strategy meeting will be held with the City to discuss the findings, the City's preferred format for the findings, and to identify any information or data needs from City staff or the applicant team to address in the findings.

Task 8. Noticing
EPD will initiate preparation of all appropriate and required notices. During the preparation of the noticing, EPD will maintain regular communication with the City and other responsible agencies (e.g., Caltrans, other cities, or San Bernardino County) to prepare the appropriate and required noticing, such as public notices, Scoping Meetings, Notice of Exemption, Notice of Preparation, Notice of Completion, Notice of Intent to Adopt, and Notice of Determination.

Project Management, Support, and Staff Meeting
The project manager's role is to ensure the adequate exchange of information for the duration of the project, from project initiation to public hearings. This includes notifying City staff of issues as they are encountered and working judiciously to resolve them. The Project Manager will maintain the project schedule, oversee the budget, and coordinate with City staff, subconsultants, and stakeholders.

EPD staff will meet with City staff, as needed, and our Project Manager or other key personnel associated with specific disciplines will also be available to attend various meetings with affected jurisdictions and agencies. EPD will attend meetings with City staff and project applicants, scoping meetings, and/or public hearings to provide explanation of the CEQA/NEPA process and answer questions related to the scope of the environmental documentation.

1900 and 1912 Spindrift Drive: An extensive data recovery and mitigation monitoring program at the Spindrift Site, an important prehistoric archaeological habitation site stretching across the La Jolla area. The project resulted in the discovery of over 20,000 artifacts and nearly 100,000 grams of bulk faunal remains and marine shell, indicating a substantial occupation area (2013-2014).

San Diego Airport Development Project: An extensive historic assessment of multiple buildings at the San Diego International Airport and included the preparation of Historic American Buildings Survey documentation to preserve significant elements of the airport prior to demolition (2017-2018).

Citracado Parkway Extension: A still -ongoing project in the city of Escondido to mitigate impacts to an important archaeological occupation site. Various archaeological studies have been conducted by BFSA resulting in the identification of a significant cultural deposit within the project area.

Westin Hotel and Timeshare (Grand Pacific Resorts): Data recovery and mitigation monitoring program in the city of Carlsbad consisted of the excavation of 176 one -square -meter archaeological data recovery units which produced thousands of prehistoric artifacts and ecofacts, and resulted in the preservation of a significant prehistoric habitation site. The artifacts recovered from the site presented important new data about the prehistory of the region and Native American occupation in the area (2017) .

The Everly Subdivision Project: Data recovery and mitigation monitoring program in the city of El Cajon resulted in the identification of a significant prehistoric occupation site from both the Late Prehistoric and Archaic Periods, as well as producing historic artifacts that correspond to the use of the property since 1886. The project produced an unprecedented quantity of artifacts in comparison to the area encompassed by the site, but lacked characteristics that typically reflect intense occupation, indicating that the site was used intensively for food processing (2014-2015).

Ballpark Village: A mitigation and monitoring program within three city blocks in the East Village area of San Diego resulting in the discovery of a significant historic deposit. Nearly 5,000 historic artifacts and over 500,000 grams of bulk historic building fragments, food waste, and other materials representing an occupation period between 1880 and 1917 were recovered (2015-2017).

Archaeology at the Padres Ballpark: Involved the analysis of historic resources within a seven -block area of the "East Village" area of San Diego, where occupation spanned a period from the 1870s to the 1940s. Over a period of two years, BFSA recovered over 200,000 artifacts and hundreds of pounds of metal, construction debris, unidentified broken glass, and wood. Collectively, the Ballpark Project and the other downtown mitigation and monitoring projects represent the largest historical archaeological program anywhere in the country in the past decade (2000-2007). 4S Ranch Archaeological and Historical Cultural Resources Study: Data recovery program consisted of the excavation of over 2,000 square meters of archaeological deposits that produced over one million artifacts, containing primarily prehistoric materials. The archaeological program at 4S Ranch is the largest archaeological study ever undertaken in the San Diego County area and has produced data that has exceeded expectations regarding the resolution of long-standing research questions and regional prehistoric settlement patterns.

Charles H. Brown Site: Attracted international attention to the discovery of evidence of the antiquity of man in North America. Site located in Mission Valley, in the city of San Diego.

Del Mar Man Site: Study of the now famous Early Man Site in Del Mar, California, for the San Diego Science Foundation and the San Diego Museum of Man, under the direction of Dr. Spencer Rogers and Dr. James R. Moriarty.
