Statement of Agreement with City Conditions 8 ATTACHMENTS Description of the Firm Resume for Richard Garland, P.E. Agreement No. 6980 1. UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCOPE OF WORK Our understanding of the scope of work is that Garland Associates, and Richard Garland, P.E. in particular, would serve as the on -call traffic engineer for the City of El Segundo. The firm would essentially be an extension of City staff by performing the duties typically expected of a city's traffic engineer. As the City of El Segundo does not require the services of a full-time traffic engineer, this position would provide those services on an as -needed basis. The approach for accomplishing the desired scope of work for each project would be to use a series of individual work orders that would be directed to the consultant by the City's Public Works Director and/or a member of the Public Works/Engineering staff. Each task or project would be assigned to the traffic engineering consultant with a specific task order that will detail the expected scope of work, deadlines, and final product. The consultant would then conduct a technical analysis and prepare a report or memorandum to summarize the methodology, findings, and recommendations regarding the assigned task. The anticipated milestones would vary on a task -by -task basis and would depend on the type of project being assigned, the deadlines that are needed, and the urgency of the particular assignment. For example, some relatively minor tasks might have a one or two-day turnaround while other projects might require several weeks or months to complete. The deadlines and expectations would be established in the task order for each project. It is anticipated that the typical deliverables would be in the form of a technical memorandum, full report, draft staff report, diagram, CADD drawing, GIS map, etc. The deliverables would vary depending on the type of project and the objective of the assignment and would be specified in the task order for each project. 0 Agreement No. 6980 2. QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE The traffic engineering assignments will be conducted by Richard Garland, P.E., a registered traffic engineer with over 35 years of experience in the field of traffic engineering and transportation planning.

First is a description of the related experience performing traffic engineering tasks and duties for cities within the last five years. The references for these projects are provided, including their title, phone number, and email address. This is followed by a description of other related experience, which has been included to represent the breadth of Garland Associates' qualifications in traffic engineering and transportation planning. TRAFFIC ENGINEERING FOR CITIES Carson Mr. Garland served as the traffic engineer for the City of Carson, a position he held for 16 years. With this assignment, he was responsible for planning and designing the traffic control features on the city streets, including traffic signals, regulatory and warning signs, pavement markings, and curb painting. He has assisted the city in planning and reviewing major development projects such as a 1.5 million square -foot retail center, several light industrial sites greater than 100 acres in size, a mixed -use residential/commercial project, the 30,000-seat Dignity Health Sports Park, and residential tracts ranging in size from 80 to 650 units. In addition, he has conducted safety analyses for problem locations, developed signing and parking plans for school zones, and responded to citizen and City Council requests for traffic and parking modifications.

An existing traffic signal is in place at this "T" intersection. A proposed car wash and commercial development would add a fourth leg to the intersection and would require that Bear Valley Road be widened. The traffic signal design specified the signal components that would be needed to convert the signal to a four -approach design and designated the size and locations of the new poles and mast arms.

Coronado Permit Parking Program Mr. Garland developed a permit parking program for the City of Coronado in response to a concern for parking intrusion in several residential neighborhoods. The parking problems arose because the residential areas are located adjacent to a Naval Air Station, the beach, and the popular Hotel del Coronado. Based on the findings of extensive data collection efforts and a series of public meetings, a model ordinance was drafted to set up the program. Malibu Colony ShoI212ing Center Mr. Garland conducted a study to determine the traffic impacts of a community shopping center proposed near the Civic Center/Malibu Colony area of Malibu.
