Before commencing performance under this Agreement, and at all other times this Agreement is effective, CONSULTANT must procure and maintain the following types of insurance with coverage limits complying, at a minimum, with the limits set forth below: Type of Insurance Limits (combined single) Commercial general liability: $1,000,000 Professional Liability $1,000,000 Business automobile liability $1,000,000 Workers compensation Statutory requirement. B. Commercial general liability insurance will meet or exceed the requirements of ISO - CGL Form No. CG 00 01 11 85 or 88. The amount of insurance set forth above will be a combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage for the policy coverage. Commercial General Liability policy will be endorsed to name City, its officials, and employees as "additional insureds" under said insurance coverage and to state that such insurance will be deemed "primary" such that any other insurance that may be carried by City will be excess thereto. Such endorsement must be reflected on ISO Form No. CG 20 10 11 85 or 88. Such insurance will be on an "occurrence," not a "claims made," basis and will not be cancelable or subject to reduction except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to City. C. Automobile coverage will be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage Form CA 00 0106 92, including symbol 1 (Any Auto). D. Professional liability coverage will be on an "occurrence basis" if such coverage is available, or on a "claims made" basis if not available. When coverage is provided on a "claims made basis," CONSULTANT will continue to maintain the insurance in effect for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated ( "extended insurance "). Such extended insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by City arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect. Page 7 of 11 3592:.x;• E.

Insurance must be placed with insurers with a current A.M. Best Company Rating equivalent to at least a Rating of "A:VII." F. Should CONSULTANT, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance required by this Agreement, City may obtain such coverage at CONSULTANT's expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate. 23. USE OF CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY's prior written approval to use any consultants while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must approve of the proposed consultant and the terms of compensation. 24. INCIDENTAL TASKS.

Joseph & Associates EXHIBIT B II. SCOPE OF WORK 3592.._7. Revised January 31, 2006 M UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT The proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase H project consists of reuse of an industrial site located at the southern edge of El Segundo, adjacent to the City of Manhattan Beach. The project site is held in multiple ownerships and has been used for industrial activities for over 80 years. Various activities, including certain activities involving the use of hazardous and toxic materials, have taken place on the site over this time frame. A Union Pacific railroad line bisects the site and a BNSF railroad line runs along the southeastern edge of the site. A large storm water retention basin is located in the central portion of the site. The project site was the subject of a rezoning action by the City of El Segundo (City) in 2005. As a result of this rezoning, a portion of the project site was rezoned to a new "C4" Commercial Center classification. The remainder of the site retained its industrial (M1 and M2) zoning. At the same time the rezoning was approved, the City approved a commercial project (Plaza El Segundo Phase I) on the site adjacent to the proposed project and a Development Agreement governing future development of the rezoned site. Construction of the Plaza El Segundo Phase I project commenced in late 2005. Potential environmental effects of the rezoning action, Development Agreement and the Plaza El Segundo Phase I project were addressed in a Program/Project EIR that was certified by the City in February 2005 (Sepulveda/Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development, State Clearinghouse No. 2003121037, February 2005). This EIR examined the implications of building out the rezoning site with a combination of the Plaza El Segundo Phase I project and a projection of future development and conceptual site plan for the remainder of the site. Of necessity, the projection of future development on the remainder of the site was general in nature and did not reflect a specific plan or design for the remaining development. In addition, conditions related to hazardous materials on parts of the remainder of the site could not be known at the time the Program/Project EIR was prepared because of ownership considerations. The Program/Project EIR also identified roadway circulation improvements and potential relocation of railroad lines that would be associated with the future full buildout of the project site. As such, the Program portion of the Program/Project EIR examined the potential effects of development beyond the Plaza El Segundo Phase I project to the extent possible and established requirements for future analysis and studies that would be required to be undertaken to provide full environmental analysis of the future buildout of the project site when a specific project was proposed for this portion of the project site. The project applicant has now identified a specific project that would be constructed over a major portion of the remainder of the project site. The scope of work identified in this proposal reflects our understanding of the environmental review structure for future projects on the project site that was established in the previously - prepared Program/Project EIR. As discussed with the City, the scope of work would include preparation of a Subsequent EIR that tiers off the previously - prepared Program/Project EIR in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15168 and 15152. The proposed approach would allow the Subsequent EIR to focus 113 Page II -1 Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase II Project Scope of Work City of El Segundo Christopher A. Joseph & Associates 3592"��., Revised January 31, 2006 on the specific environmental impacts that could be associated with the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase H project and utilize to the maximum extent possible, the baseline background information and mitigation measures developed for inclusion in the Program/Project EIR. The scope of work also addresses the specific study requirements established in the Program/Project EIR as they would apply to the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase H project. The analysis would be structured to provide the applicant with an appropriate level of flexibility to respond to changes in conditions which may affect development of the project site in the future, although flexibility that may be afforded would not be as broad as was established for the future buildout of the rezoning site. To provide a comprehensive solution to the complex needs of this undertaking, CAJA has assembled a team of top professionals to separately address the environmental aspects of this project. Preparation of the EIR would be undertaken per the requirements of CEQA and would also be designed to provide flexibility to the City and the developer in adapting the plan to meet changing requirements. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES TO BE ANALYZED IN EIR Our approach is designed to provide a thorough level of analysis for the Plaza El Segundo Phase lI development capable of accommodating extensive public input and withstanding the rigorous scrutiny that this project could conceivably attract. Based on our past experience with the project site and discussions with the City, and in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Program/Project EIR, CAJA would propose to analyze the following environmental issues in detail in the Plaza El Segundo Phase H Project Subsequent EIR: • Aesthetics • Air Quality • Biological Resources • Geology and Soils • Hydrology/Water Quality • Hazards and Hazardous Materials • Land Use and Planning • Noise • Population, Housing and Employment • Public Services • Transportation/Traffic • Utility and Service Systems • Cultural Resources Remaining issues, which do not rise to the level of significant impacts, would be addressed through completion of a comprehensive Initial Study to create a complete record of the City's environmental decision - making. In addition, issues where the impacts of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase II project would be within the level of impact identified in the Program/Project EIR would be analyzed and documented in the Initial Study or equivalent document meeting the requirements of CEQA Guidelines 114 Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase H Project Page II -2 City of El Segundo Scope of Work Christopher A. Joseph & Associates 3592 -,.. Revised January 31, 2006 Section 15168. To the extent the City were to modify the proposed scope of the EIR, CAM can provide expertise to address additional technical issues which may arise. SCOPE OF WORK TO PREPARE THE EIR Because it is expected that the Plaza El Segundo Phase H Project Subsequent EIR will be scrutinized by affected parties, adjacent residents and surrounding communities, it is important that the potential environmental effects of the project be fully analyzed. Although any EIR can be challenged, a comprehensive approach using appropriately conservative assumptions is likely to withstand any legal challenge that might be raised. The EIR must respond directly to issues raised by responsible agencies and community organizations. An EIR that provides thoughtful and well- documented responses to issues raised during the environmental review process is the best means of allowing applicants to proceed with their projects in the most expeditious manner. In order to assure that the resulting Subsequent EIR is both analytically correct and legally defensible, the CAJA Team will prepare a comprehensive and factual EIR that addresses the previous environmental analysis, existing conditions, project impacts, mitigation measures, cumulative impacts and alternatives to the project, along with a complete Initial Study which provides full justification for the City of El Segundo to conclude that remaining issues not specifically addressed in the EIR would not be significant. The EIR will be prepared based on the standards and requirements of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of El Segundo. The EIR will be prepared to meet the exacting standards of quality employed by CAJA in the preparation of our previous EIRs throughout Southern California. The following tasks would be performed by the CAJA team to prepare a Subsequent EIR for the Plaza El Segundo Phase II Project. Task 1: Review of Project Description Information/Finalize Project Description The project applicant has developed a preliminary concept plan for the Plaza El Segundo Phase II project. However, project parameters, the project site boundary (i.e., the portion of the rezoning site that would be included in the proposed project), roadway and railroad realignments and precise site plan have not been finalized as yet. CAJA will review project description information and pertinent documentation and analyze to determine issues, findings and problem resolutions that could be relevant to the EIR. A concerted effort will be made to utilize and incorporate as much existing data as possible into the EIR. CAJA will assist the City as necessary in identifying the level of detail needed to provide adequate environmental analysis of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase II project. Task 2: Preparation of a Draft Initial Study The Initial Study consists of a checklist which is used to identify areas where the proposed project could potentially result in environmental impacts as well as areas where the proposed project has no potential to result in impacts. This checklist or an equivalent format approved by the City will be used to examine the Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase H Project Page H -3 City of El Segundo Scope of Work 3592.:._: Christopher A. Joseph & Associates Revised January 31, 2006 potential environmental effects of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase U project to determine whether these environmental effects were covered in the Program EIR, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15168. CAJA will prepare a Draft Initial Study or equivalent document meeting the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15168 for the proposed project utilizing the City's Initial Study Checklist or equivalent document. The Initial Study or equivalent document will be comprised of a completed checklist and detailed responses to all questions, with particular emphasis given to responses where the impact is not significant and the response provided will serve as the primary record of the City's determination that the impact is not significant. The Initial Study or equivalent document is also a valuable tool in refining the scope of the EIR and identifying any additional reports or analysis that may be required for the proposed project. Task 3: Notices and EIR Scoping CEQA includes prescribed noticing requirements to inform the public and other cognizant agencies that documentation is being prepared for a project. Noticing requirements for a Subsequent EIR are the same as for the original EIR (CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(d)). CAJA will prepare the Notice of Preparation (NOP) required by CEQA for the proposed project in the format used by City and will circulate it to all identified commenting agencies and interested parties. The NOP will include a map of the project site, a brief description of the proposed project, and a preliminary list of the environmental effects to be evaluated in the EIR. As a public scoping meeting was held for the original EIR process (Sepulveda/Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Phase I Project), it is recommended that a public scoping meeting be held for the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase II project. CAJA will assist the City in organizing and conducting this scoping meeting as required. Notice of the scoping meeting would be included in the NOR A finalized scope for the Draft. EIR will be defined after all comments on the NOP have been received and the scoping meeting is concluded. CAJA will work with the City to determine if the comments expand the scope of work or require additional technical sections to be included in the EIR. The Initial Study, Notice of Preparation and all correspondence received in response to the NOP will be attached as an Appendix to the Draft EIR. CAJA will also circulate all other required public notices including the Notice of Completion and Notice of Determination. Task 4: Preparation of Administrative Draft EIR An Administrative Draft EIR would be prepared for review by the City. This subsection outlines the major sections which would be included in the Administrative Draft EIR. 4.1 INTRODUCTION /SUMMARY 1H .�i Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase II Project Page II -4 City of El Segundo Scope of Work 3592 • .. t Christopher A. Joseph & Associates Revised January 31, 2006 The Introduction section of the EIR will include a narrative on the background of the EIR process, development of the proposed project and alternatives and a short summation of the environmental review and project approval process. The Introduction will also provide contextual information on the process associated with the development and approval of the Program/Project EIR and Development Agreement, and the structure of the follow -on environmental analysis requirements set forth in that document. A tabular summary will be also included in the first section of the EIR. The Summary will include a tabular summary of expected environmental effects, recommended mitigation measures, and a summary evaluation of alternatives. 4.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project description will provide a detailed narrative and graphical presentation of the provisions of the project, including proposed improvements, architectural plans and entitlements sought, including amendments to the Development Agreement, if any. The project description will include a qualitative and graphical description of the project location and boundaries including regional and vicinity maps and aerial photos. For CEQA purposes, the project description will also include a statement of project objectives to be developed in conjunction with the City. 4.3 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The environmental setting will provide a physical description of the project site and the surrounding area. Existing improvements and land uses will be described. A discussion and tabular list of related projects /cumulative development will be presented, and the location of such development will be plotted on an area map. A related projects "list- based" approach [CEQA Guidelines, Section 15130(b)(1)(A)) will be used to analyze the potential cumulative impacts of the proposed project in conjunction with other projected growth in the area. 4.4 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING, RAPACTS AND MITIGATION As an introduction to this section of the EIR, each environmental impact area determined not to have a potentially significant impact on the environment, as identified in the Initial Study described above, will be listed, with an accompanying discussion of the reasons for the determination. Each of the areas of potential impact will describe the previous environmental analysis, existing conditions, environmental impact after development of the proposed project and alternatives, recommended mitigation measures, net unmitigated environmental impact after project development, and cumulative impact. Previous Environmental Analysis. A brief summary of the previous environmental analysis from the Program/Project EIR will be included, along with a list of previously identified mitigation measures and subsequent environmental documentation requirements from the Program/Project EIR. This discussion will provide a context for the remaining subsections described below. 1 117 Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase H Project Page II -5 City of El Segundo Scope of Work 3592 • ::�. Christopher A. Joseph & Associates Revised January 31, 2006 Existing Conditions. Analysis of the existing environmental setting is necessary in order to compare those conditions to any changes created and produced by the proposed project, and to identify any significant environmental effects of the proposed project. For purposes of environmental analysis within the EIR, the environmental setting is defined as the physical conditions in the affected area as they exist at the time the Notice of Preparation is published (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15126.2, revised October 26, 1998). Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Protect. Each of the environmental subject areas would be evaluated to determine impact significance. Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a significant impact is defined as a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in the physical environment. The specific criteria or threshold of significance for determining the significance of a particular impact would be identified in conjunction with the City prior to the impact discussion in each issue section, and would be consistent with the criteria set forth in the revised CEQA Guidelines. The environmental impact analysis would be specific to the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase H project, and would also be evaluated within the context of the analysis presented in the Program/Project EIR (i.e., conclusions will be presented as to whether the impacts of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase H project would be within the impacts identified in the Program/Project EIR, or higher or lower than the previously identified impacts). Mitigation Measures. Where applicable, mitigation measures would be presented in each respective environmental subject area in the following classification scheme: Mitigation Measures required to reduce an identified significant impact to a less -than- significant level. These mitigation measures would be drawn from the measures identified in the Program/Project EIR, supplemented by measures specific to the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase II project as required. Non - Required Measures, mitigations that are recommended (but not required) to further enhance environmental conditions within the project and the surrounding locale, and which can reduce an identified non - significant impact. • Code- Required Measures required by local, regional, state and/or federal regulations and statutes which must be imposed as conditions of project approval. Such code - required measures would be listed even though they are not necessarily required to reduce identified impacts. Level of Impact After Mitigation. A clear, concise statement of the level of impact after the inclusion of mitigation measures will be presented. Net impacts will be defined as either "significant," or "less than significant." If applicable, this section of the EIR would also identify whether an impact represents a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified impact. Cumulative Impact. The project's cumulative impacts in conjunction with identified related development/cumulative growth within and possibly outside the City of El Segundo. Related projects outside the City that might be included are the Playa Vista Development and the LAX Master Plan, as Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase II Project Page 1I -0 City of El Segundo Scope of Work 3592•..; Christopher A. Joseph & Associates Revised January 31, 2006 well as anticipated future development projects in the Cities of Hawthorne and Manhattan Beach. It will be noted throughout the cumulative impact discussions that such impacts generally represent a worst -case scenario (higher than would be expected) because impact projections for related projects are for the most part calculated without subtracting (netting out) existing uses on related project sites. Moreover, it is assumed for analytical purposes that all related projects would be approved and developed within the time frame of the proposed project. In addition, each related project would likely be subject to unspecified mitigation measures, which would also reduce cumulative impacts. 4.5 ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT CAJA will prepare an analysis of alternatives to the proposed project. This proposal assumes up to four alternatives to be analyzed in the EIR (includes No Project Alternative). Such alternatives may include: No Project (Existing Conditions) • Reduced Project • Alternate Uses (e.g., industrial) • Alternative Site Plan Configurations (i.e., roadway, railroad realignment, retention basin location) The requirements for these analyses are based on the "rule of reason" as dictated by the California Environmental Quality Act and reflect the needs of each particular project. Specific alternative schemes will be determined upon consultation with City staff. It is noted that several recent court cases have been decided in California that can affect the scope of project alternatives in EIRs. The resulting court decisions have made the alternatives analyses in EIRs more vulnerable to legal challenges which, in turn, has changed the standards of adequacy for such analysis. The reasoning behind the rejection of alternatives is typically based on the inability of the alternatives to meet the project objectives. 4.6 OTHER EIR SECTIONS The EIR will also include the following required sections: • Summary of Unavoidable Significant Adverse Impacts • Growth Inducing Impacts • Organizations and Persons Consulted • Report Preparation Personnel CAJA will submit five copies of the Administrative Draft EIR to the City for review. Task 5: Revision of the Administrative Draft EIR 119 Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase II Project Page II -7 City of El Segundo Scope of Work 3592•`:: Christopher A. Joseph & Associates Revised January 31, 2006 Typical agency review involves a maximum of two drafts of the Administrative Draft EIR. The first Administrative Draft EIR would receive the most extensive comments, with the subsequent draft requiring fewer comments. The review and correction cycle continues until the City has approved the t� Administrative Draft EIR for publication as a Draft EIR for public circulation. Task 6: Production and Circulation of the Draft EIR When the City has approved the Administrative Draft EIR for release as a Draft EIR, CAJA will print 75 copies of the Draft EIR and its Technical Appendices. CAJA will also provide the City with a camera ready original, a PDF version for web - posting and a Microsoft Word version of the document on CD. CAJA will also be responsible for the circulation of the Draft EIR to the State Clearinghouse, identified commenting agencies and interested parties. In addition, CAJA will prepare and circulate the Notice of Completion for the Draft EIR. Task 7: Preparation of the Final EIR The Draft EIR will be circulated to the public for a minimum of 45 days. Following the closure of the public comment period, CAJA will prepare and submit five copies of the Administrative Final EIR to the City. The Final EIR will consist of a summary, corrections, additions, and responses to comments to the EIR. Each comment received on the Draft EIR will be responded to in the Final EIR. The extent of work necessary to complete the Final EIR is contingent upon the amount and nature of comments that are received after the Draft EIR is circulated. For the purposes of this proposal, based upon previous experience with EIRs for projects of this type in the City, it is assumed that a workload of approximately 200 hours would be required to complete the Final EIR. This would accommodate a moderate to heavy response to the Draft EIR. Should responses to comments exceed the anticipated workload, additional hours would be billed on a time and materials basis, with prior approval of the City. CAJA will begin preparation of the Final EIR immediately after circulation of the Draft EIR commences. During the time the Draft EIR is being circulated for public comment, the summary and corrections and additions sections of the Final EIR will be prepared. Written comments on the Draft EIR will be responded to as soon as they are forwarded to CAJA by the lead agencies. It is anticipated that some comments will be received before the end of the public circulation period and that responses to these comments could be prepared immediately upon receipt. CAJA will make changes to the Administrative Final EIR following its review by the City. When the City has approved the Administrative Final EIR for release as the Final EIR, CAJA will print 50 copies of the Final EIR and circulate them to all appropriate agencies and individuals. In addition, CAJA will provide a camera ready original, PDF version for web posting and Word CD to the City. CAJA will also prepare and file the Notice of Determination when the EIR has been certified by the City Council. Task 8: Project Coordination/Public Participation Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase II Project Page 11 -8 City of El Segundo Scope of Work 3592 Christopher A. Joseph & Associates Revised January 31, 2006 Successful preparation of the EIR will require effective communication between the City and the EIR consultant. CAJA's experience in managing other projects of similar scale and complexity has shown that regular working meetings provide this type of communication. Attendance at various public hearings ,y will also be required as a part of the EIR process. CAJA has budgeted for a total of 20 meetings or hearings for all purposes over the course of the EIR process. Attendance at additional meetings or hearings would be billed on a time and materials basis. Time has also been included for meeting attendance for the traffic and biological resources consultants. Task 9: Mitigation Monitoring Program After the Final EIR has been completed, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will be prepared for adoption by the City Council as part of the certification process. This CEQA- required plan must be organized around City policies and procedures. The mitigation monitoring and reporting program will list (1) project mitigation measures, (2) correlate the mitigation measures to the various governmental actions that the implementation of the project will require and (3) identify the City and/or other governmental offices or departments that should monitor the execution of the mitigations. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will also establish specific reporting requirements, enforcement procedures and penalties, reporting forms, and periodic monitoring schedules, consistent with the established procedures of the City. A Draft Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will be prepared for review by City staff, and a final Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will be prepared that incorporates City changes. This document will be available in a timely fashion for inclusion in the staff report prepared for the Planning Commission and City Council as part of the project approval and EIR certification process in the City. Task 10: Statement of Facts and Findings Prior to consideration of the proposed project and certification of the Final EIR, CAJA will prepare the Statement of Facts and Findings for any significant environmental effects identified in the EIR. The Findings will individually identify the significant environmental effects of the proposed project and provide a reasoned discussion of the appropriate findings of the Lead Agency. Task 11: Statement of Overriding Considerations Prior to consideration of the proposed project and certification of the Final EIR, CAJA will prepare the Statement of Overriding Considerations (if required). The Statement of Overriding Considerations would describe why the benefits of the project outweigh its significant unavoidable effects, if such effects are identified by the EIR. 121 Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase 11 Project Page 11 -9 City of El Segundo Scope of Work 3592 Christopher A. Joseph & Associates Revised January 31, 2006 ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES TO BE ANALYZED IN THE EIR As discussed above, the following provides a summary of the content and technical approach for each I environmental impact category which would be analyzed in the Plaza El Segundo Phase H Project EIR: 'k Aesthetics CAJA will evaluate the aesthetic impacts from the proposed project buildings and site plan. The existing visual environment will be described from several different vantage points and perspectives (foreground, middle ground and background). The vantage points will be determined in consultation with the City. The project's impact on the visual environment from the identified vantage points will be evaluated. In accordance with the previous environmental analysis, the analysis will address the following issues relative to the conclusions presented in the previous EIR: o height and massing of proposed project buildings; o view lines through the site; o expected visual environment during the construction phase; o night lighting; and o glare The Proposed Project will also be evaluated against the development standards set forth in the Development Agreement that have the potential to affect the visual environment, including building height, setbacks and lot frontage requirements. Air Quality The following scope of work would be undertaken by CAJA to complete the air quality analysis: Characterize Existing Conditions. This task will involve compiling historical data from the nearest air pollutant monitoring station. The number of exceedances of State and Federal Ambient Air Quality standards will be documented. Sensitive locations will be identified for purposes of establishing existing CO "hot spot" conditions in the local project vicinity. To provide a regional context, the most recent attainment and non - attainment status designations from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will be discussed. Assess Construction Impacts. As required by the Program/Project EIR, a project- specific study of construction emissions will be prepared for the Plaza El Segundo Phase II project. The analysis will consider construction activities associated with site grading and excavation, foundations, framing and finishing. Analysis will be conducted using the URBEMIS model recommended by SCAQMD. 12 <) Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase It Project Page II -10 City of El Segundo Scope of Work 3592.. ,t Christopher A. Joseph & Associates Revised January 31, 2006 Using the SCAQMD guidelines as well as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) AP42 emissions factor document, all applicable sources of air emissions for each phase of the construction process will be combined into a total area source emission rate. Emissions from the construction site will i be quantified on a daily and quarterly basis in pounds per day and tons per quarter, respectively. These `` emissions will be compared with daily and quarterly emissions thresholds established by the SCAQMD to determine the potential for significant impacts. Prepare Operations Phase Impact Analysis. The operational air quality assessment will be tiered off the previous EIR analysis. A calculation of daily vehicle miles traveled from both the Plaza El Segundo Phase I (based on actual development parameters) and Phase II (based on proposed project parameters) projects will be performed and compared to the daily VMT used in the Program/Project EIR. If the total VMT is within the assumptions used in the previous EIR, the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase H project will be deemed to be within the impacts identified in the previous EIR. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15168, no further analysis would be required. Mitigation measures from the Program/Project EIR would be imposed on the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase H project as applicable. This analysis can be included in the Initial Study and need not be addressed in the EIR for the Plaza El Segundo Phase II project. In the event the daily VMT is not within the assumptions of the previous EIR, calculations for the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase H Project would be performed. Specific analysis will include: Daily Emissions. Mobile emission rates will utilize the most recent EMFAC 2002 series factors required by SCAQMD. Mobile emissions rates will be applied to vehicle miles of travel statistics available from the traffic study. Carbon Monoxide Hot Spots. The roadside carbon monoxide analysis will be conducted in accordance with the procedures established by US EPA and SCAQMD in the carbon monoxide modeling protocol document. Specific attention will be given to two classes of roadway intersections. First, analytical priority will be given to intersections that would be expected to operate at LOS E or F. Second, intersections that would be adjacent to sensitive land uses. The CAL3QHC or CALINE 4 microcomputer carbon monoxide dispersion model will be used at intersections that may be substantially affected by the project. Identify Mitigation Measures. Additional mitigation measures beyond those in the previous EIR will be identified as feasible that would either eliminate or substantially reduce any identified air quality impacts. Mitigation measures will be selected to ensure that performance standards are met and that the measures are feasible and enforceable. Biological Resources Dudek & Associates will undertake the following scope of work: 12 Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase II Project Page II -11 City of El Segundo Scope of Work 3592 . �-; Ib Christopher A. Joseph & Associates Revised January 31, 1006 In accordance with the requirements set forth in the previous Program/Project EIR, Dudek will conduct focused surveys for the presence of white - tailed kite (Elanus leucurus), loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus), and Belding's savannah sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis beldingi). In addition, a pre - construction survey for the presence of burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) will be conducted. A focused survey letter report discussing result of white - tailed kite, loggerhead shrike and Belding's savannah sparrow surveys will be prepared. A focused survey letter report discussing the results of the pre - construction burrowing owl survey will also be prepared. Surveys will be conducted in accordance with survey recommendations of the resource agencies, including the California Department of Fish and Game. Geology and Soils CAJA will prepare the evaluation of soils and geology for the EIR, based upon information provided by the project applicant. The evaluation of soils and geology issues in the EIR will reflect a review of previous geotechnical reports for investigations for the project site and immediately adjacent sites and background information from the previous EIR. In addition, the Program/Project EIR requires preparation of a methane study to determine the levels at which methane is or is not present on the Plaza El Segundo Phase II project site. It is assumed that this study will be provided by the project applicant for incorporation into the EIR for the Plaza El Segundo Phase II project. Hydrology/Water Quality CAJA will prepare the hydrology /water quality section of the EIR based upon information provided by the project applicant. Because of the complicated drainage conditions associated with the site, the Program/Project EIR, as well as the City and County, require preparation of several hydrology studies for the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase II project, including: o Hydrology study; o Runoff volume and flow calculations; o Master drainage plan; and o Design of conveyance and detainment system. CAJA would propose to work closely with the applicant's engineer to obtain information and already - prepared drainage plans for the proposed project and include this information in the EIR section. Water quality impacts will also be evaluated using the background information contained in the previous EIR. 124 Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase II Project Page II -12 City of El Segundo Scope of Work Christopher A. Joseph & Associates Hazards and Hazardous Materials 3592.: ^:� Revised January 31, 2006 CAJA will prepared this section of the EIR based on information provided by the project applicant. Much of the proposed project site has been the subject of past environmental site assessments and is currently experiencing remediation activities under the cognizance of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Rather than duplicate this extensive body of work, CAJA would propose that previous studies and any new studies prepared since the previous EIR be peer- reviewed by EMG to determine that the information is adequate for inclusion in the EIR. This approach would meet the requirement set forth in the Program/Project EIR that a full characterization of all parcels that comprise the project site be undertaken. Remediation of environmental conditions in accordance with these studies to the satisfaction of the appropriate regulatory agency(ies) would be required prior to issuance of grading or building permits for the project. Land Use and Planning Consistent with the analysis provided in the previous EIR, CAJA will evaluate the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase H project for compliance and consistency with established plans, policies and regulations, including the City of El Segundo General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. This section will be supplemented with graphic displays of existing and proposed land use and zoning in the project locale as well as tabular comparisons of the project's compliance with the requirements of the C4 zone, Development Agreement and other applicable zoning classifications. The project will also be evaluated for compatibility with the existing and future land use patterns in the project locale. The project's functional and physical compatibility with surrounding uses will also be analyzed, taking particular note of the residential uses located in the City of Manhattan Beach to the south. Noise The following scope of work would be undertaken by CAJA to complete the noise analysis: Assess Construction Impacts. As required by the Program/Project EIR, a project - specific analysis of short-term construction noise impacts will be undertaken, based on construction phasing scenario provided by the project applicant. The analysis will seek to define the worst -case phase and will consider construction activities associated with demolition, site grading and excavation, foundations, framing and finishing. Using the City noise ordinance as a reference, noise levels from the various phases of construction will be assessed to determine whether the change in sound level at the nearest adjacent sensitive receptor locations exceeds threshold criteria. Construction equipment noise will be estimated using U.S. EPA source documents as well as actual field measurements of special pieces of equipment or activities as necessary. The specific emphasis of the construction noise impact assessment will be to determine whether the incremental change in noise due to construction would be considered significant. As a benchmark to establish a baseline condition to which noise from construction activity will be added, noise 125 Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase H Project Page 11 -13 City of El Segundo Scope of Work •9. 3592 Christopher A. Joseph & Associates Revised January 31, 2006 measurements will be taken in the area surrounding the construction site. At a minimum, noise ,A measurement periods will include early morning hours, mid - morning, afternoon, and early evening time periods. A Type II integrating sound level meter will be used for this purpose. Printed output from the sound meter will be used to document findings. Impacts on adjacent residential uses will be assessed. Traffic Noise. The traffic noise assessment will be tiered off the previous EIR analysis. A calculation of p.m. peak hour trips traveled from both the Plaza El Segundo Phase I (based on actual development parameters) and Phase II (based on proposed project parameters) projects will be performed and compared to the total p.m. peak hour trips used in the Program/Project EIR traffic noise analysis. If the total p.m. peak hour trips are within the assumptions used in the previous EIR, the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase II project will be deemed to be within the impacts identified in the previous EIR. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15168, no further analysis would be required. Mitigation measures from the Program/Project EIR would be imposed on the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase II project as applicable. This analysis can be included in the Initial Study and need not be addressed in the EIR for the Plaza El Segundo Phase R project. If p.m. peak hour trip totals exceed the assumptions utilized in the Program/Project EIR, the Caltrans Sound 32 microcomputer model will be used in conjunction with traffic volume estimates from the traffic study to simulate the added noise from local roadways. Ambient/existing noise conditions will be established through a representative sound - monitoring program in the project vicinity. In addition, impacts from potential operational stationary noise sources (i.e., ventilation equipment, loading docks, etc.) on nearby sensitive receptors will be evaluated. Mitigation measures identified in the previous EIR will be imposed on the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase II project that would either eliminate or substantially reduce any identified noise impacts. Mitigation measures will be selected to ensure that performance standards are met and that the measures are feasible and enforceable. Measures will address both short-term and long -term aspects of the project. Population, Housing and Employment Consistent with the analysis provided in the Program/Project EIR, CAJA will prepare this section to address the following issues: o Construction employment; o On -site employment projection; o Induced housing growth. If the employment projection for the Plaza El Segundo Phase II would be within the assumptions used in the previous EIR for the buildout of the project site, the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase II project will be deemed to be within the impacts identified in the previous EIR. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15168, no further analysis would be required. Mitigation measures from the Program/Project EIR 126 Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase II Project Page 11 -14 City of El Segundo Scope of Work 3592 . Christopher A. Joseph & Associates Revised January 31, 2006 would be imposed on the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase II project as applicable. This analysis can be included in the Initial Study and need not be addressed in the EIR for the Plaza El Segundo Phase II project. i Public Services CAJA will assess the proposed project's impacts on fire and police services. CAJA will confer with appropriate City of El Segundo personnel relative to the project's potential impact upon police and fire protection services. This will involve consultation with the City of El Segundo Police and Fire Departments. Transportation/Traf lc The traffic study will be prepared by either Kimley -Horn and Associates or Overland Traffic Consultants, Inc (depending on the City's choice). The selected firm will prepare a project traffic study addressing project traffic impacts at the same 25 intersections that were studied in the Program/Project EIR traffic analysis. The project traffic study will include the following tasks: Project Traffic Study -- Prepare a project traffic study based on the scoping requirements. This study will include but not be limited to the following: • Describe study area streets and land use; • Collect new traffic data at the same 25 intersections previously analyzed (if needed); • Calculate existing AM and PM peak -hour traffic conditions at 25 study intersections on a weekday and 5 intersections on a Saturday mid -day (if needed); • Update research of other development projects in the study area; • Incorporate information from the updated Circulation Element of the General Plan including two way operation of Nash and Douglas Streets and connection of Douglas Street southerly; • Shift traffic as applicable with the connection of Park Place to Sepulveda Boulevard; • Estimate daily project traffic generation and a.m. and p.m. peak hour traffic generation using industry standard traffic generation rates; compare a.m. and p.m. peak hour trip generation for the Proposed Project to the adopted Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, as required by the Development Agreement; • Review Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program (CMP) traffic analysis requirements; 127 Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase II Project Page II -15 City of El Segundo Scope of Work Christopher A. Joseph & Associates • Discuss project access, circulation and parking issues; 359, Revised January 31, 2006 • Recommendations and conclusions, including any necessary traffic mitigation and; It • Determination of the effectiveness of potential traffic mitigation measures. If additional tasks are requested, such as preparing conceptual designs of mitigation measures, revisions due to change in the scope of the project, or extensive negotiations with the adjacent jurisdictions and/or regional/Federal agencies, separate estimates of costs for each of those tasks or other tasks that the City may request can be provided. Utility and Service Systems The utilities traffic noise assessment will be tiered off the previous EIR analysis. A calculation of total utility generation/consumption both the Plaza El Segundo Phase I (based on actual development parameters) and Phase II (based on proposed project parameters) projects will be performed and compared to the consumption/generation identified in the Program/Project EIR traffic noise analysis. If generation/consumption estimates are within the values calculated in the previous EIR, the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase II project will be deemed to be within the impacts identified in the previous EIR. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15168, no further analysis of this issue would be required. Mitigation measures from the Program/Project EIR would be imposed on the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase II project as applicable. This analysis can be included in the Initial Study and need not be addressed in the EIR for the Plaza El Segundo Phase II project. This section would need to include, however, the sewer and water capacity and infrastructure studies required by the Program/Project EIR for the Plaza El Segundo Phase II project. These studies would be provided by the applicant and incorporated by CAJA into the EIR section. Cultural Resources CAJA would conduct the records search for the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase II project site, as required by the Program/Project EIR. In addition, if the boundaries of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Phase II project site include the location of State Cultural Resource 19- 186856 (i.e., H Kramer property), Teresa Grimes will conduct historical research on this resource to determine whether it is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places or California Register of Historical Resources, in accordance with the criteria established by the State and federal governments for this purpose. If the resource is determined ineligible for listing on .either the National or California Registers, no further action would be required. If the resource is determined eligible for listing, a mitigation plan would be developed to address potential impacts on the resource. 128 Proposal to Prepare Subsequent EIR for Plaza El Segundo Phase 11 Project Page I1 -16 City of El Segundo Scope of Work Christopher A. Joseph & Associates III. PROJECT TEAM 3592. January 24, 2006 CAJA has assembled an experienced and qualified team of environmental specialists to prepare the Plaza El Segundo Phase E Project EIR. As a result of our extensive involvement on this project site and other recent projects in El Segundo, the CAJA Team has a proven track record with projects similar to the proposed project, as well as a working relationship with the City of El Segundo Planning and Building Safety Department. CAJA will serve as the prime consultant and project manager for the EIR. The CAJA Team includes the following subcontractors: • Either Kimley -Horn and Associates or Overland Traffic Consultants, Inc.
