costs for CITY and all its officers, volunteers, employees and
representatives (including reasonable attorney's fees), from and
against any and all suits, actions, or claims, of any character
whatever, brought for, or on account of, any injuries or damages
sustained by any person or property resulting or arising from any

Page 5 of 11
ii. Indemnification for other Damages. CONSULTANT indemnifies and
holds CITY harmless from and against any claim, action, damages,
costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees),
injuries, or liability, to the extent resulting from CONSULTANT's
negligence or other wrongful conduct, arising out of this Agreement,
or its performance, except for such loss or damage arising from
CITY's sole negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct.
Should CITY be named in any suit, or should any claim be brought
against it by suit or otherwise, whether the same be groundless or not,
arising out of this Agreement, or its performance, CONSULTANT
will defend CITY (at CITY's request and with counsel satisfactory to
CITY) and will indemnify CITY for any judgment rendered against it
or any sums paid out in settlement or otherwise.
iii. Exclusion for CEQA Actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
CONSULTANT need not indemnify, defend, or hold CITY harmless in
CEQA actions initiated pursuant to Public Resources Code §§ 21167 and
21168 where CONSULTANT's work may form the basis of a lawsuit.
However, should CONSULTANT's work, as contemplated by this
Agreement, contain errors or omissions that results in an adverse ruling
against CITY, CONSULTANT agrees to indemnify and hold CITY
harmless to the extent provided for in Section 18(A)(i).
B. For purposes of this, section "CITY" includes CITY's officers, officials and
employees,
C. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions will survive
termination of this Agreement.
D. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be

said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or
qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSULTANT
pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions
concerning indemnification.
19. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONSULTANT's professional services.
CONSULTANT's attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY's
written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.
20. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CITY and CONSULTANT agree that
CONSULTANT will act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the
manner in which is it performed. CONSULTANT will be free to contract for similar service to
be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY. CONSULTANT is not an
agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance,
bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that
Page 6 of 11
may appear to give CITY the right to direct CONSULTANT as to the details of doing the work
or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONSULTANT will follow the
direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.
21. AUDIT OF RECORDS.
A. CONSULTANT agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain,
and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement.
CONSULTANT agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant
information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises,
upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the purpose of
interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such books, records,
accounts, and other material that may be relevant to a matter under investigation
for the purpose of determining compliance with this Agreement. CONSULTANT
further agrees to maintain such records for a period of three (3) years following
final payment under this Agreement.
B. Upon inspection, CONSULTANT will promptly implement any corrective
measures required by CITY regarding the requirements of this Section.
CONSULTANT will be given a reasonable amount of time to implement said
corrective measures. Failure of CONSULTANT to implement required corrective
measures will result in immediate termination of this Agreement.
C. CONSULTANT will keep all books, records, accounts and documents pertaining
to this Agreement separate from other activities unrelated to this Agreement.
22. INSURANCE.
A. 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
Commercial general liability:
Professional Liability
Business automobile liability
Workers compensation
Limits (combined single)
$1,000,000

$1,000,000
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
Page 7 of 11
41 `3- 4 ale;
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 1185 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.

00 0106 92, including symbol 1 (Any Auto).

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.
E. CONSULTANT will furnish to City duly authenticated Certificates of Insurance
evidencing maintenance of the insurance required under this Agreement,
endorsements as required herein, and such other evidence of insurance or copies
of policies as may be reasonably required by City from time to time. 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. CONSULTANT will meet with CITY monthly to provide the
status on the project, which will include a schedule update and a short narrative description of
progress during the past month for each major task, a description of the work remaining and a
description of the work to be done before the next schedule update.

complete their review can reduce or extend the project
timeline. Similarly, changing the project or introducing
new issues mid project can also affect time and cost. While
we are confident we can maintain a cost - effective approach
with the project, the budget includes several assumptions:
The project description is firm and unchanged during
the review process.
The environmental document will require two review
drafts before publication.
Within these assumptions, PBS &J has prepared a cost
estimate that is competitive, yet accurately reflective
of the level of effort required to complete the scope of
services requested by the City of El Segundo based on
our understanding of the project with the information
made available to date. In addition, the proposed budget
is based on the assignment of senior individuals to the
project. PBS &J does not believe it is in the client's interest
to submit an unrealistically low cost proposal, which is
made possible by either reducing the scope of work or by
assuming that budget augments will be made available
at a later date. That said, we are flexible and willing to
discuss ways to reduce our preliminary cost proposal,
if necessary. For your convenience, we have provided a
detailed cost proposal, identifying labor costs by task, by
person (job classification), "and by hour, as well as indirect
costs, reimbursable expenses and administrative fees. We
have also included our standard fee schedule at the end of
this section.
Factors that would increase the scope of work and
estimated costs outlined in this proposal include, but are
not necessarily limited to, any of the following:
b Attendance at additional meetings
b Printing of additional copies of reports
Excessive comments on the draft environmental
document (beyond the number budgeted)
Our cost proposal is valid for 60 days from the date of
this proposal and is based on all team members' standard
hourly rates.

Exhibit 6
Scope Of Work
Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project
METHODOLOGY
PBS &J will employ several resources in preparing the
environmental document for the Assisted Living /Senior
Housing project. Resources will include the following:
City of El Segundo and its Consultants: PBS &J
will obtain and confirm all project details (i.e., project
design, technical studies, etc.) from the City, Applicant,
and any other consultants that the City may have
retained to prepare technical, economic, or feasibility
analyses. PBS &J will review the EIR currently being
prepared for the Aquatics Site Feasibility Study, as it is
applicable to the proposed project site. PBS &J will also
contact the appropriate City agencies and departments
in an effort to obtain required information regarding
public services and utilities /service systems.
Non -City Agencies: PBS &J will coordinate with
outside agencies and organizations (i.e., South
Coast Air Quality Management District; South
Central Coastal Information Center at California
State University, Fullerton; County of Los Angeles
Natural History Museum; Native American Heritage
Commission; Los Angeles Regional Water Quality
Control Board; Department of Oil, Gas and
Geothermal Resources; California Department of
Transportation; Southern California Gas Company;
and Southern California Edison) to obtain necessary
information for the proposed project, as applicable.
Information from outside sources will assist in
analyzing potential project impacts.
Non -City Technical Studies and Agency Reports:
PBS &J will obtain any technical studies or agency
reports that may be applicable to the proposed project
and /or the sites that are being considered. Obtaining
previously prepared studies that are applicable to
the proposed project allows PBS &J to identify
commonalities and areas where information sharing
can reduce the time, budget, or work needed to
produce deliverables.
Field Work: PBS &J staff will visit the potential sites to
obtain existing setting information as part of preparing
the environmental analysis. Site visits will be conducted
to determine any potential aesthetics, air quality,
4123.,.
biological resources, cultural resources (in particular
historic resources), hazards and hazardous materials,
noise, recreation, and traffic impacts at a minimum.
Internet: PBS &J will research potential project and
CEQA issues on the internet. The internet provides
a wealth of information about the environment in
Los Angeles and can offer details about other similar
projects in the vicinity that may be applicable. All
information obtained from the internet will be
verified from a reliable source prior to inclusion in the
environmental analysis.
Further details about PBS &J's methodology for gathering
information and preparing analysis for the Assisted Living/
Senior Housing project have been provided by CEQA issue
areas below in this Section.
DATA NEEDS
In order to achieve the objectives identified in the RFP,
PBS &J does not anticipate needing any City services or staff
resources beyond those typically required during a CEQA
process. PBS &J staff will obtain and confirm details about
the project from the City (and its Applicant) and work
with planning staff to prepare the required environmental
document. Project details would include, in part, project
design features, community outreach feedback, applicable
information from the Aquatics Site Feasibility Study EIR,
and any other issues that are unique to the proposed project.
PBS &J will obtain and confirm any technical studies
(i.e., biological, geotechnical, existing Phase I and Phase
II Environmental Site Assessments, drainage, etc.) that
have been prepared for the proposed project from the City
and consult with the City on the timing of the proposed
project in order to accurately model projected air quality,
noise, and traffic impacts. We will ensure that we are up
to date on the City's community outreach efforts thus far
and are knowledgeable about the community's interest in
the proposed project. We will contact the appropriate City
agencies /departments (i.e., Public Works, Fire Department,
Police Department, etc.) to obtain information about the
capacity and availability of these agencies /departments to
provide for the proposed project.

Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project
PROJECT APPROACH
The approach of the PBS &J project team is based on
meeting the following objectives:
Serving as a key element of the City's team to anticipate
controversial issues, provide unbiased recommendations,
devise solutions to potential impacts and /or other issues
that may arise, and provide expert planning, policy, and
environmental compliance consultation
Committing senior management to the project to
provide close coordination with, and accessibility
to, the City to ensure technical accuracy, document
objectivity, and legal defensibility
Complying with CEQA, the current CEQA
Guidelines, as well as current case law, and serving as a
public educator of CEQA and the CEQA process
/ Complying with all unique City processing
requirements
Responding to all significant issues of concern raised
by various governmental agencies, private entities,
individuals, and community groups
Submitting all required deliverables within the mutually
agreed -upon time frames
Providing the City with regular electronic updates of
the documents as they are revised and finalized
It is our understanding that the City anticipates
preparation of an IS /MND or an IS, NOP, and EIR for
the proposed project. The City is considering a proposed
conceptual development that involves a two- tiered or
optioned approach. Option 1 would consist of a senior
living complex with a combination of traditional age -
restricted senior housing (age 55 and older) and assisted/
independent living housing on a 5.65 -acre site. The
assisted /independent living facility would have a range
of 150 to 180 beds with 100 parking spaces. The senior
apartment complex would have 130 to 150 units with
150 parking spaces. Access to the site would be from
East Imperial Avenue. Option 2 would consist of a more
traditional residential development with a mix of 24 single -
family dwelling units and 45 multi - family units on private
streets. The multi - family units would front East Imperial
Avenue and take access from East Imperial Avenue only.
4123.
The single - family portion of the project would take access
from Walnut Avenue only. In addition to the proposed
conceptual project, the following alternatives to the
project will be studied if an EIR is required: 1) the "No
Project" alternative; 2) a hybrid concept with a 150 -bed
assisted living project and 20 single - family dwelling units
on individual lots; and 3) a 200 -unit senior apartment/
condominium project.
This proposal assumes that preparation of either an IS/
MND or IS /NOP and EIR would involve analysis of
both Option 1 and Option 2. Therefore, the following
scope of work includes Option A to prepare an IS /MND
and Option B to prepare an IS /NOP and EIR. PBS &J
will take full responsibility for project initiation and
organization, review of existing information (i.e., Phase
I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments for the
project site, applicable information from the Aquatics
Site Feasibility Study EIR, etc.), data compilation, impact
assessment, development of mitigation measures, report
compilation, monitoring and review for CEQA adequacy,
attendance at public meetings and hearings, response to
public comments, coordination of the internal project
team, and preparation of a Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program and Errata Sheet (as necessary).
Report format and content will be in full compliance
with CEQA (as amended through the date of submittal
of the draft MND or EIR), the CEQA Guidelines
(also as amended through the date of submittal of the
draft MND or EIR), and the City's environmental
guidelines and procedural requirements. General MND
or EIR organization will include a discussion of existing
conditions, potential direct and indirect /secondary
environmental impacts, and the recommendation of
mitigation measures for each affected issue area. All
revisions to documents will be prepared using red -line/
strike -out format. To present information in a concise and
easily understood format, text will be supplemented with
graphics, charts, maps and tables on 8%2x1 l white paper,
unless a larger format is critical to the readability of the
document. Work products will consist of professionally
photocopied reports in comb bindings, which are printed
on recycled paper. The majority of graphics, charts, and
maps will be presented in black ink, although some
m - IIPW 'may Printed on Recycled Pape an Atkins company
�J PBS &f Proposal # 0413:017721:1 1 10

color graphics may be included to help convey necessary
information. All work products will be submitted
in printed format, electronic format, and on CD (as
outlined under each task below) and will be prepared
using Microsoft Word 2003, Adobe Acrobat (PDF) and
any other requested formats that are compatible with the
City's software applications. All documents, notices, and
maps would be provided on CD in Microsoft Word 2003
format and sent via email as required by the City. Regular
electronic updates of the documents would be provided to
City staff as drafts are revised and finalized. All documents
and plans shall be the property of the City of El Segundo.

kickoff meeting with representatives from the City of
El Segundo. Specifically, PBS &J's project director and
project manager, as well as KHA's project manager, will
attend the kickoff meeting. The purpose of the kickoff
meeting is to compile the relevant background data
and reports; clearly define the proposed project for the
purposes of the environmental analysis; begin to compile
a list of cumulative projects; discuss the project schedule
and important assumptions for achieving the schedule;
identify all anticipated discretionary actions; establish early
communication among various project team members, as
well as the protocols for ongoing communication; and to
familiarize the PBS &J project team with the issues and
concerns that the City determines to be important issues
for analysis in the environmental document. Based on the
discussions and issues raised during the kickoff meeting,
the PBS &J project management team will refine the scope
of work, schedule, and budget, if necessary.

TASK 2 Prepare Technical Studies
.qubtask 2A Prepare'rraiffle Study
Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) will prepare
the Traffic Study for the proposed project. PBS &J will
prepare the Transportation & Traffic section of the MND
or EIR. The following scope of work is based on our initial
understanding of the proposed project. The proposed
project includes two options for the development of a new
assisted living /senior housing facility to meet the current
and projected needs of the community and City. The project
envisions either a MND or EIR level of analysis for both
options, with at least three alternatives analyzed under the
EIR. The Traffic Study will address the following conditions:
Existing Conditions
® Opening Year
• Without Project
• With Project — Option 1
• With Project — Option 2
V General Plan Build -out
• Without Project
• With Project — Option 1
• With Project — Option 2
The Traffic Study will evaluate the traffic- related project
impacts of the proposed project (both options) during the
morning and evening peak hours on a typical weekday at
up to ten (10) study intersections in the project vicinity.
KHA will coordinate with City staff to identify the study
intersections. The study will also provide an evaluation of
the on -site circulation, project access, and compliance with
the parking requirements of the Specific Plan development
standards. KHA will prepare a study that meets the
requirements of the City of El Segundo, and that complies
with the Los Angeles County Congestion Management
Plan (CMP). The scope of services for the Traffic Study is
based on KFI s understanding of the project issues and
the study requirements of the City of El Segundo. As part
of project initiation, KHA will obtain a complete project
description and confirm the to -scale copy of the project
site plan, including:

'Ihe following outlines the tasks KHA will perform as part
of completing the Traffic Study for the proposed project:
Collect current weekday morning and evening peak
hour traffic count data for the study intersections.
KHA will confer with City staff to consider which
traffic count data in the Aquatics Center EIR and other
studies in the area (some collected in March 2009 and
some collected in February 20 10) are usable for this
study. For budgeting purposes, it is assumed that new
traffic count data will need to be collected at five (5)
study intersections.
Develop trip generation estimates for the proposed site
uses. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
Trip Generation (8th Edition) publication offers several
land use types for residential developments, including
Single- Family Dwelling Units, Multi- Family Dwelling
Units, Senior Adult Housing — Detached, Senior Adult
Housing —Attached, Congregate Care Facility, Assisted
Living, and Continuing Care Retirement Community.
KHA will provide copies of the descriptions for each
land use category for consideration, and confer with
City staff and the project team on which are the most
appropriate for the proposed project (both options).
Develop trip distribution and assignment assumptions
for each component of the project. Separate trip
distribution assumptions will be developed for the
traditional housing, senior housing and the assisted/
independent living components. KHA will submit trip
generation and trip distribution assumptions to City
staff and the project team for concurrence prior to
proceeding with the analysis.
4 I 2 3 •'6 s
Distribute the project traffic to the surrounding street
system and through the study intersections.
Obtain approved and pending project information
from the City of El Segundo and surrounding cities.
KHA will start with the approved and pending project
information compiled for recent studies prepared by
KHA for other projects in the vicinity, and will contact
each agency to confirm and update this information.
Conduct intersection analysis for Opening Year and
General Plan Build -out conditions — Without and With
the Proposed Project (both options).
Intersection analysis will be conducted using the
City's approved Intersection Capacity Utilization
(ICU) methodology. In addition, any intersection on
a Caltrans facility will be analyzed using the Highway
Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology, as required
by the Caltrans Guide for the Preparation of Traffic
Impact Studies.

from Imperial Avenue, a drop -off area for the Assisted
Care building (Lot 1) and perimeter parking for the
Senior Living building (Lot 2) with multiple pedestrian
access points. The project description for Option 2
indicates that the single - family component of the
development would take access from Walnut, and that
the multi - family component of the development would
take access from Imperial Avenue. We will evaluate the
proposed site access, on -site circulation provisions for
both vehicles and pedestrians, and the project parking
for both options.

Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project
x:
The Traffic Study's scope of work and budget outlined in
this proposal are based on the following assumptions:
To -scale site plans and a complete project description,
available on -site and off -site improvement plans,
record drawings, and existing aerial photographs or
topographic maps will be provided to KHA.
2. Any changes or revisions to the site plan or project
description once the analysis has begun will require
additional or changed analysis, which will constitute
additional services, and will require an adjustment to
the project schedule and budget.
If issues not specifically listed here arise as a result of
comments or concerns by citizens or City staff, they will be
evaluated as a separate work authorization by KHA, for a
fee to be mutually agreed upon prior to initiating work.
Architectural History
The proposed project would involve the redevelopment
of a 1950s school campus to residential uses. Given the
project would demolish historic -age buildings, a PBS &J
architectural historian will conduct a survey of the project
site. All buildings and structures on the campus will be
recorded in the field, and interior investigations will be
performed where determined feasible and necessary. The
history of the campus will be gathered through available
documents provided by the City and gathered from the
school district and other local repositories to determine
their potential significance per CEQA. A cultural resources
records search will also be obtained from the South Central
Coastal Information Center ( SCCIC). Existing research
will be used to the extent possible.
Archaeology
The SCCIC records search will identify any previously
recorded archaeological sites and archaeological
investigations within 1/4 -mile of the project area. In
accordance with standard professional practice, PBS &J
will request a search of the Native American Heritage
Commission's (NAHC) sacred lands database to determine
if any Native American cultural resources are present
4123.
t 1 �
on or in the vicinity of the proposed project site. Native
American organizations identified by the NAHC will
be contacted for their input on the project. Given the
urbanized setting of the project, PBS &J anticipates that no
Native American issues will arise and the Native American
consultation will be an exercise in professional due
diligence. This scope of work and budget does not include
a pedestrian archaeological survey.
`technical Metro
Based on the architectural history and archaeological
investigations, PBS &J will prepare a Technical Memo
summarizing the findings of the investigation and
assess the project's potential effects on historical and
archaeological resources. The Technical Memo will
include a prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic setting
for the project area and descriptions and evaluations
of any known cultural resources on the project site.
Where applicable, recommendations for further study
or mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate adverse
impacts on cultural resources to less- than - significant levels
will be identified. The report will meet the standards
of the Office of Historic Preservation for Archeological
Resource Management Reports.
IS /MND or EIR Section
Based on the architectural history and archaeological
investigations, PBS &J will prepare the Cultural Resources
section for the selected CEQA document. The section
will assess the project's potential effects on historical
and archaeological resources in accordance with the
requirements CEQA. The Cultural Resources section will
include a prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic setting
for the project area; descriptions and evaluations of any
known cultural resources on the project site; a regulatory
setting that identifies applicable state, federal, and local
regulations that pertain to cultural resources; and an
impact analysis of potential project- specific and cumulative
effects. Where possible, mitigation measures to reduce or
eliminate adverse impacts on cultural resources to less -
than- significant levels will be identified.

TASK 3 Prepare Administrative Draft IS /MND
Subtask 3A Prepare Ad i listrati Draft IS/MND
If it has been determined that an IS /MND is the
appropriate CEQA document for the proposed project,
PBS &J will prepare an IS /MND that is consistent with
the procedural and substantive provisions of Sections
15063 and 15072 and Appendices C and G of the CEQA
Guidelines. PBS &J would also be responsible for preparing
the Notice of Completion (NOC).
The objective of this task is to prepare a comprehensive,
accurate, and objective project -level IS /MND for the
proposed project that fully complies with CEQA and the
CEQA Guidelines (both as amended throughout submittal
of the Draft IS /MND) and all applicable guidance and
procedures established by the City of El Segundo for the
purpose of environmental review.
The main purpose of the Draft IS /MND will be to
thoroughly and accurately analyze the environmental
impacts of the proposed project at one preferred site. The
document will be as free as possible of jargon so that the
information it contains is accessible to the City and the
public. The methodology and criteria used for determining
the impacts of the project will be clearly and explicitly
described in the IS /MND, including any assumptions,
models, or modeling techniques used in the analysis.
The IS /MND will be prepared in conformance with a
City- approved Initial Study checklist format, and the
NOC would be consistent with Appendix C of the
CEQA Guidelines. All sixteen (16) CEQA issue areas,
as well as climate change, will be sufficiently analyzed
in the IS /MND. All appropriate mitigation measures
for these resources would be included in the IS /MND
and incorporated into the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program. The "Environmental Impact Analysis"
section at the end of this Scope of Work discusses each of
the following resources in more detail.
► Aesthetics
► Agricultural Resources
► Climate Change
/ Cultural Resources
► Geology and Soils
► Hazards and Hazardous Materials
► Hydrology and Water Quality
► Land Use and Planning
► Mineral Resources
► Noise
► Population and Housing
► Public Services
► Recreation
► Transportation and Traffic
► Utilities and Service Systems
It is assumed that key construction and operational
features of the project would be available at the beginning
of work on the IS /MND such that an accurate, finite,
and stable project description could be prepared prior
to beginning substantial work on the IS /MND. This
approach has proven to result in the most expeditious
preparation and processing of an IS /MND. All technical
studies, survey results, data, and public and agency
comments will be included as appendix material to the
Draft IS /MND.
Once comments on the Administrative Draft IS/
MND have been received from the City, PBS &J will
incorporate all comments and submit (electronically only)
a Screencheck Draft IS /MND to the City for final review
before preparing the Draft IS /MND for public review. It
is anticipated that comments received on the Screencheck
Draft IS /MND would be minimal and mostly editorial in
nature. Substantive comments requiring a second round
of substantial edits would require an amendment to the
budget proposed.

PBS &J will prepare a Draft IS /MND for a 30 -day public
review that incorporates all of the comments on the
Administrative Draft IS /MND and Screencheck Draft IS/
MND. The Draft IS /MND will be comb - bound, using
heavy stock paper for the cover, rather than plastic or
laminate, as is typical City practice. PBS &J will prepare
and distribute twenty (20) printed bound copies of the
Draft IS /MND (with technical appendices), one (1) printed
unbound camera -ready copy of the Draft IS /MND, forty
(40) electronic copies of the Draft IS /MND on CD, one

Additionally, PBS &J will prepare and distribute one (1)
printed copy of the Executive Summary, fifteen (15) CD
copies of the Executive Summary, one (1) printed unbound
camera -ready copy of the Executive Summary, and one (1)
electronic copy in Microsoft Word 2003 format. In recent
past, OPR now requires lead agencies to submit an Executive
Summary with a Draft IS /MND, as is done with a Draft
EIR. PBS &J will distribute the requisite fifteen (15) copies
of the Draft IS /MND (including its technical appendices), as
well as the Executive Summary, to the State Clearinghouse.
PBS &J would also be responsible for preparation of the
NOC, as well as any applicable filing fees. PBS &J will
distribute the NOC along with the Draft IS /MND and
Executive Summary to the State Clearinghouse. As per
the RFP, the City would be responsible for distribution
of the NOC to area property owners, local organizations,
and departments within the City (some of which will
also receive a copy of the Draft IS /MND), as well as
publication of the NOC in a local newspaper. PBS &J
would be responsible for transmittal of the NOC to the
County Clerk of Los Angeles.
The RFP does not identify the need for a community
meeting during the Draft IS /MND process. However, if
4123•,,,
a community meeting is deemed to be required at a later
time, PBS &J can amend this proposal to include this task.

It is assumed that the Final IS /MND would be provided
at least 10 days prior to consideration for certification
by the City to any commenting public agency and any
member of the public who has requested the document.
Further, the MMRP will be designed to ensure compliance
with all adopted mitigation measures during project
implementation. The MMRP will be in table format and
will specify project - specific mitigation measures, as well as
standard conditions of approval that are applicable to the
project, if requested by the City. Mitigation timing and
responsible parties will also be identified. The objective of
the MMRP is to ensure compliance with Public Resources
Code Section 21081.6, as mandated by Assembly Bill 3180
(Cortese 1988), which requires that a lead agency adopt an
MMRP at the time an IS /MND is certified.
An estimated budget has been prepared for the responses
to comments effort. While the actual scope and extent of
public comments (in either written or oral format) cannot
be definitively determined at this time, we have tried to
provide a conservative, yet realistic, estimate of the scope
of work that would be required for this project, in order to
avoid the need for a contract amendment.
Once comments on the Administrative Final IS /MND
and. MMRP have been received from the City, PBS &J will
incorporate all comments and submit (electronically only)
a Screencheck Final IS /MND and MMRP to the City for
final review before preparing the Final IS /MND and MMRP
for public review. It is anticipated that comments received
on the Screencheck Final IS /MND and MMRP would
be minimal and mostly editorial in nature. Substantive
comments requiring a second round of substantial edits
would require an amendment to the budget proposed.

If it has been determined that the appropriate CEQA
document for the proposed project is an EIR, PBS &J will
prepare an Initial Study /Notice of Preparation (IS /NOP) for,
the proposed project that is consistent with the procedural
and substantive provisions of Sections 15063 and 15082
and Appendices C, G, and I of the CEQA Guidelines and
would be used to narrow the focus of the environmental
issues addressed in the EIR. PBS &J would be responsible
for preparing the Notice of Completion (NOC) for the
proposed project. (In recent past, an IS /NOP must now
also be accompanied with a NOC, instead of a Notice of
Availability, much like distribution of a Draft EIR.)
The Initial Study will be prepared in conformance with
a City- approved Initial Study checklist format. Based
upon review and comment by the City, PBS &J will revise
the IS /NOP, as appropriate. It is anticipated that the
following issue areas will be sufficiently analyzed in the
4 1 L 3 �` s
Initial Study to allow them to be scoped out from further
analysis in the EIR. All appropriate mitigation measures
for these resources would be included in the Initial Study
and incorporated into the Mitigation Monitoring and

section at the end of this Scope of Work discusses each of
these resources in more detail:
/ Agricultural Resources
Biological Resources
Geology and Soils
/ Hydrology and Water Quality

to the City's mailing list. During the public review period
of the IS /NOP, PBS &J will begin preparation of the Draft
EIR in order to reduce the overall project schedule.
Once comments on the Administrative Draft IS/
NOP have been received from the City, PBS &J will
incorporate all comments and submit (electronically only)
a Screencheck Draft IS/ NOP to the City for final review
before preparing the Final IS /NOP for public review. It is

of the project would be available at the beginning of work
on the EIR such that an accurate, finite, and stable project
description could be prepared prior to beginning substantial
work on the EIR. This approach has proven to result in the
most expeditious preparation and processing of an EIR.
The scope of work for the environmental issue areas
expected to be analyzed in the Draft EIR is further
described at the end of this Scope of Work in the
"Environmental Impact Analysis" section, with an
emphasis on unique and /or important components of
the environmental analysis. In order to ensure a common
understanding of the scope and content of the EIR,
PBS &J will prepare a comprehensive list of each of the
thresholds that would be evaluated in the EIR, as well as
every impact statement that would be addressed to respond
to each of the thresholds for review and approval by the
City prior to beginning work on the EIR (some thresholds
may contain more than one impact statement).
Cumulative Impacts
Cumulative impacts will be specified in the individual
technical sections of the EIR. The cumulative analysis will
be qualitative in nature and will be based upon known
projects, either approved, proposed (applications on file),
or reasonably foreseeable, within a defined area around
the proposed project, as determined by the factors relevant
to each environmental issue area. The cumulative impact
assessment will be based on potential development projects

impacts of the proposed project. Potential sources of
growth inducement and their corresponding impacts,
such as removal of obstacles to growth will be qualitatively
analyzed, to the extent that they are applicable.
Alternatives. In order to accurately define alternatives,
PBS &J will work with the City to first clearly articulate
project objectives. The EIR can then most effectively
assess alternatives in light of CEQAs mandate to reduce
significant project impacts while meeting the project's
basic objectives. PBS &J proposes a two- tiered approach
to the alternatives analysis, which is to (1) describe
the alternatives screening process and (2) describe and
analyze those alternatives selected for detailed study.
This will allow the EIR to demonstrate the consideration
given to a sufficiently broad range of alternatives.
The alternatives screening process will provide an
opportunity for the EIR to describe the process used to
identify alternatives. The section will describe a range of
alternatives initially considered, including their ability
to meet "screening criteria." Alternatives not carried
forward for detailed analysis will be identified, and the
reason for rejection of these alternatives will be specified.
For those alternatives described in detail, the EIR will
qualitatively address the environmental impacts that
would result. PBS &J will work closely with City staff
to develop at least three alternatives to the proposed
project (as per the RFP), including (1) No Project
alternative (including the No Project /No Development
alternative and the No Project /Reasonably Foreseeable
Use alternative), 2) a hybrid concept with a 150 -bed
assisted living project and 20 single - family dwelling
units on individual lots, and 3) a 200 -unit senior
apartment /condominium project.
The alternatives will be provided in a sufficient level of
detail for comparison with the proposed project. Each

alternative will be evaluated with respect to each key
impact category. The advantages and disadvantages
of each alternative and the reasons for rejecting or
recommending the alternative will also be discussed
and the environmentally superior alternative will be
identified. During the course of the environmental
analysis, minor variations to the proposed project
that could have the effect of reducing or eliminating
environmental concerns may become apparent. These
variations will be recommended, where feasible.
► Appendices. All technical studies, survey results, data,
and public and agency comments will be included as
appendix material to the Draft EIR.
Once comments on the Administrative Draft EIR have
been received from the City, PBS &J will incorporate all
comments and submit (electronically only) a Screencheck
Draft EIR to the City for final review before preparing
the Draft EIR for public review. It is anticipated that
comments received on the Screencheck Draft EIR would
be minimal and mostly editorial in nature. Substantive
comments requiring a second round of substantial edits
would require an amendment to the budget proposed.

responsible for distribution of the NOC to area property
owners, local organizations, and departments within
the City (some of which will also receive a copy of the
Draft EIR), as well as publication of the NOC in a local
newspaper. PBS &J would be responsible for transmittal of
the NOC to the County Clerk of Los Angeles.
The RFP does not identify the need for a community
meeting during the Draft EIR process. However, if a
community meeting is deemed to be required at a later
time, PBS &J can amend this proposal to include this task.

Subtask 6A Prepare Administrative Final UR
(Response to Comments and °text
Revisions) & MMRP
The Response to Comments volume of the Final EIR
will include all comments received, responses to those
comments, and standard introductory material. The
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP)
would be provided separately, but prepared concurrently
with the Final EIR. All comments will be numbered (to
indicate comment letter and comment number), and the
responses to those comments will be similarly numbered
to allow easy correlation. In addition, where the text of
the Draft EIR must be revised, the text will be isolated
as "text changes" in the Response to Comments volume,
indicating deleted text by strikeout and inserted text by
double - underline. The text of the Draft EIR will not be
revised. The Final EIR will collectively consist of the Draft
EIR, the Response to Comments document, and the
technical appendices.
It is assumed that the Final EIR would be provided at
least 10 days prior to consideration for certification by
the City to any commenting public agency and any
member of the public who has requested the document.
Further, the MMRP will be designed to ensure compliance
with all adopted mitigation measures during project
implementation. The MMRP will be in table format and
will specify project- specific mitigation measures, as well as
standard conditions of approval that are applicable to the
project, if requested by the City. Mitigation timing and
responsible parties will also be identified. The objective of
the MMRP is to ensure compliance with Public Resources
Code Section 21081.6, as mandated by Assembly Bill 3180
(Cortese 1988), which requires that a lead agency adopt an
MMRP at the time an EIR is certified.
An estimated budget has been prepared for the responses
to comments effort. While the actual scope and extent of
public comments (in either written or oral format) cannot
be definitively determined at this time, we have tried to
provide a conservative, yet realistic, estimate of the scope

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
The following CEQA issue areas will be analyzed and
discussed in either the IS /MND or IS/NOP and EIR. Full
analysis will be included for both Option 1 and Option 2
of the proposed conceptual development.
Aesthetics (Raul Henderson)
Aesthetics (defined as any element, or group of elements,
that embodies a sense of beauty), views, daytime glare,
and nighttime illumination are related elements in the
visual environment. Visual impacts of a project include
the provision of objective visual resources (such as project
design elements) and the subjective viewer response to
those changes in the visual environment.
The environmental analysis will provide a description of
views to and from the site, supplemented by photographs.
Under Option 1, the proposed project would introduce
3 -story structures (35 feet) with parapets and other
auxiliary structures such as elevator shafts and mechanical
screens that go up to 45 feet in height. Under Option
2, the multi - family units would be 35 feet in height and
the single - family units would be 26 feet in height. Under
either Option, the proposed structures would be greater
in height than existing structures on the project site.
Therefore, PBS &J will analyze whether both options of the
proposed project would substantially degrade the existing
4123 a s
visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings
due to grading, height, bulk, massing, or architectural style
or building materials; location in a visually prominent area;
degradation of the visual unity of the area; or degradation
of views from roadways or adjacent uses.
Existing sources of light and glare will also be described.
The environmental analysis will analyze whether the
proposed project would create a new source of substantial
light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime
views in the area. PBS &J will evaluate changes in ambient
lighting levels, including hot spots and spillover onto
adjacent areas, particularly nearby residential uses and
other sensitive receptors. Substantial light can be caused
by lighting to illuminate signage or architectural features,
or for wayfinding purposes, and substantial glare can be
caused by the use of reflective building materials.
Auk - 1thire d Resources (Allison ,X, Studin)
The project site has not been utilized for agriculture
purposes in roughly the last sixty years, and it is not
designated as prime farmland, farmland of statewide
importance, unique farmland, or local importance and is
not subject to a Williamson Act contract. These issues will
be discussed and supported with documentation. However,
if preparing an EIR, Agricultural Resources will likely be
scoped out in the IS/NOP.
Air Quellity (GeoC€reyH. Hornek)
The City of El Segundo is located in the South Coast Air
Basin and is within the jurisdiction of the South Coast
Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The air
pollutants of greatest concern in the South Coast Air Basin
are ozone, NOx, COx PM10, and PM25. The air quality
analysis will provide an introductory discussion of the
air pollutants of concern in the region, summarize local
and regional air quality, describe pertinent characteristics
of the air basin, and provide an overview of the physical
conditions affecting pollutant buildup and dispersion in
the City and /or basin. The setting will also discuss the
sources, types, and health effects of air pollutants.
PBS &J will use the results of the traffic study, information
regarding construction phases, schedules, and equipment,
an
Printed on Recycled Paper an Atkins com WJW PBS &J Proposal # 0413:017721:1 110 p y
Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project
as well as information regarding specific activities and
hours of operation to model the potential impacts of
the proposed project on air quality. By conducting the
air quality modeling early in the environmental review
process, PBS &J can determine whether there will be
significant impacts to air quality, and if these impacts can
be mitigated. If impacts to air quality are determined to be
less than significant (with or without mitigation), PBS &J
will either scope out air quality in the Initial Study (if an
EIR is to be prepared) or prepare an air quality analysis
part of an IS /MND. The EIR budget provided as part
of this proposal does not assume that Air Quality will be
scoped out during the Initial Study process. If Air Quality
is ultimately scoped out of the EIR document, PBS &J can
revise the budget provided herein to reflect this change.
Local carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations will be
modeled at up to five intersections to be selected in
coordination with the City of El Segundo. Local CO
impacts associated with each option's project traffic will be
predicted using the CALINE -4 program and compliant
with the recommendations of the Caltrans Transportation
Project -Level Carbon Monoxide Protocol (Revised
December 1997). The CALINE-4 computer dispersion
model will be applied to the five intersections most affected
by each option's project traffic, and nearby proximity to
sensitive receptors.
The air quality analysis will also evaluate potential air
quality impacts of project - related construction activities.
An 18 to 24 month construction schedule is anticipated for
the proposed project. However, it is our understanding that
uses (i.e., assisted living /senior apartments) may be built
concurrently or independently. According to the proposed
project's Preliminary Grading Plan, approximately 32,650
cubic yards of soil will be exported from the project site.
The potential emissions impact of this excavation and off -
site transport on air quality will be analyzed as part of the
modeling and analysis. The maximum expected equipment
to be in use during each phase of construction will be
used to quantify maximum daily emissions. Emissions will
be compared to the thresholds of significance presented
in the SCAQMD Handbook. Mitigation measures for
construction - related particulates will follow guidance from
the SCAQMD CEQA Handbook In addition to the air
41 23 e 9 .
emission thresholds established by SCAQMD, potential
localized impacts for certain criteria pollutants with regard
to project - related emissions are calculated using a separate
method. For smaller projects (less than 5 acres), localized
significance thresholds (LSTs) were developed in response
to the SCAQMD Governing Board's Environmental
Justice Enhancement Initiative I -4. LSTs represent the
maximum emissions from a project that are not expected to
cause or contribute to an exceedance of the most stringent
applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard,
and are developed based on the ambient concentrations of
that pollutant for each source receptor area and distance
to the nearest sensitive receptor. A LST screening analysis
using the SCAQMD provided mass -rate lookup tables
only applies to projects that are 5 acres or less in size and
are only applicable to COX NOX, PM 10, and PM2,5.
For this project, an analysis of localized concentrations of
relevant criteria air pollutants (LSTs) during construction
activities would also be conducted in compliance with
the recommendations of the SCAQMD Final Localized
Significance Thresholds Methodology (2003).
The regional criteria pollutant analysis will examine
vehicular and stationary sources associated with operation
of both options of the proposed project. Based on
estimated vehicle trips, vehicular emissions of carbon
monoxide, ozone precursors (reactive organic gases and
oxides of nitrogen), and small particulate matter (PM10)
will be predicted and quantified using EMFAC 2007
emission factors and the California Air Resources Board's
URBEMIS 2007 software, which will then be compared
to the SCAQMD significance thresholds to determine
whether each option of the proposed project would
violate a State or federal air quality standard or contribute
substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation. The criteria pollutant emissions from future
stationary sources (such as HVAC equipment) will also be
estimated in the same manner. The SCAQMD's regulatory
structure to evaluate and offset these emissions will be
described. The air quality analysis will also qualitatively
evaluate the potential exposure of sensitive receptors to
substantial pollutant concentrations where each option of
the project may cause emissions of identified pollutants in
excess of the pounds per day or tons per quarter standards
established by the SCAQMD. Mitigation measures will
Panted on Recycled Paper MU �Pai &J Proposal #oai3:oinzi:11.10 an Atkins company
Proposal to Provide CEDA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project
be identified for potentially significant impacts, and their
effectiveness will be quantified to the extent feasible.
Potential conflicts with or potential to obstruct
implementation of the applicable air quality plan where
it may cause or contribute to emission of identified air
pollutants in excess of levels stated in the plan or where it
may fail to implement a remedial or mitigation measure
required under the plan will be analyzed.
The cumulative net increase of criteria pollutants for
which the project region is in non - attainment will be
analyzed to determine if the project emissions, considered
cumulatively, will increase the level of any criteria pollutant
above the existing ambient level.
Clle(agrc ( Rasaurtes (IC�rl L. Clsmundsan)
Based on our site visit, it is unlikely that any native
vegetation exists on the proposed project site. It is also
unlikely that any sensitive species or habitats are located on
the proposed project site. While there are ornamental trees
located on the project site and in the public right -of -way at
the project site that could be directly or indirectly affected
by construction activities, it is highly unlikely that they
would provide suitable habitat for nesting migratory birds.
To ensure that no impacts to migratory birds would occur,
the environmental document will include a mitigation
measure that requires preconstruction surveys for nesting
migratory birds. This mitigation will be included in the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program prepared
for the project. Additionally, the environmental analysis
will consider the removal of multiple mature trees and
determine any potentially significant impacts of doing so.
According to the 2009 Phase I and Phase 11 Environmental
Site Assessment Report, the project site is not located
within any national wetlands. These issues will be
discussed and supported with documentation. However,
if preparing an EIR, Biological Resources will likely be
scoped out in the IS /NOP.
Climate Change (Michael fL Hendrix)
Climate change will be addressed using a methodology
that PBS &J has and is currently using on other projects of
similar size and upon confirmation with the lead agency.
4 1 2 3 • . s
Based upon recent guidance from the California Air
Resources Board and the California Office of Planning
and Research, the environmental document should
make a good -faith effort to (1) estimate the greenhouse
gas emissions for the proposed project; (2) establish
a link between the project's greenhouse gas emissions
and potential impacts; (3) identify mitigation measures
that would apply to the proposed project as published
by the California Climate Action Team, California
Attorney General's Office, and California Air Pollution
Control Officers Association (CAPCOA); and (4) make a
significance determination. To that end, PBS &J will utilize
the most current protocol guidance from the California
Climate Action Registry (currently version 3.1) to estimate
the project's contribution in terms of carbon dioxide
equivalent emissions, which taken into account carbon
dioxide, methane, and nitrogen dioxide emissions. Project
emissions associated with construction, vehicular use,
utility use (electricity, natural gas, and water), and solid
waste will be estimated. Additional guidance with respect
to global warming (or climate change) has been published
in a "white paper" by the Association of Environmental
Professionals entitled `Alternative Approaches to Analyze
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Global Climate Change
in CEQA Documents" (Final Draft, June 29, 2007),
which was authored by PBS &J's Climate Change
Expert, Michael Hendrix. Other useful guidance is also
provided in "Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate
Change: CEQA Catches up with Science, Celebrities, and
Product Placement" (California Land Use Law and Policy
Reporter, June 2007) and by the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change. The recently issued thresholds for
Climate Change, set forth by the Office of Planning and
Research, will be included in the EIR.
It should be noted that PBS &J is cognizant of the fact
that the state of art for this issue is rapidly changing,
and we must be compliant with the currently acceptable
methodologies for analysis. PBS &J would request
that the scope of climate change be discussed at the
kickoff meeting to confirm PBS &J's approach, due to
the precedent- setting nature of this analysis for future
environmental documents.

The Cultural Resources section will include a prehistoric,
ethnographic, and historic setting for the project area;
a description of the buildings, landscaping, and site
conditions as a whole; a regulatory setting that identifies
applicable State, federal, and local regulations that pertain
to cultural resources. The results of the survey and report
prepared as part of Subtask 2B will be summarized in the
Cultural Resources section of the environmental document.
GeO109Y CMd Soils (Georgye Burwasser, PG)
This section will be prepared using any geological
information submitted by the City (i.e., Subsurface Soil
Investigation Reports; Phase I1 Soil Sampling Investigation
Reports, etc.), as well as available geologic and /or soils
maps, published literature, stereoscopic aerial photographs,
and information, reports, and /or plans with information
regarding geology and /or soils for the proposed project
site. Typically, for urban infill projects, enough data can
be gathered such that a detailed geological study is not
required, and further, standard construction techniques
and the rigorous requirements of the Uniform Building
Code, the California Building Code, and the City's
Municipal Code provide enough protection to ensure
that significant impacts do not result. Accordingly, these
techniques and standards will be identified and discussed
with respect to the proposed project, and additional
mitigation measures, if required, will also be presented.
The geology and soils section will report the type and
magnitude of seismic activity typical in this portion of
Los Angeles County, including the location of the nearest
earthquake fault. In addition, the suitability of the on -site
soils for the proposed development will also be identified
and discussed, particularly as they may present potential
risks to future occupants. According to the RFP, the
overall slope of the project site from the northeast to the
southwest is roughly five percent. The project site is graded
in two pads with a 2:1 slope separating the pads. The
proposed grading (roughly 37,000 cubic yards of soil) will
eliminate the bench and create a more natural transition.
Based on the information collected, soils and geologic
conditions will be discussed, and potential impacts will
41 23
be identified. These issues will be discussed and supported
with documentation. However, if preparing an EIR,
Geology and Soils will likely be scoped out in the IS/NOP.
41t71 r s' Wd Hazardous Maferrafs (Ruta K. Thomas,
1?.EA)
Historic use of the proposed project site as agricultural land
and a school that may have resulted in the use, transport,
or disposal of hazardous materials will be determined.
The potential for past agricultural use and more current
school use to contaminate the proposed project site will be
assessed and summarized in the environmental document.
According to the Phase I and Phase II Environmental
Site Assessment Report prepared for the project site by
Leighton Consulting, Inc. in January 2009, four soil
samples were collected at 0.5 feet below ground surface
at the project site and analyzed for pesticides due to past
agricultural use at the site. The assessment revealed no
evidence of recognized environmental contamination in
connection with the project site. The project site was not
listed on any hazardous material databases. The Report
went on to state that in general, observations should be
made during any future site development for areas of
possible contamination such as, but not limited to, the
presence of underground facilities, buried debris, waste
drums, tanks, and staining soils or odorous soils. Should
such materials be encountered, the Report recommends
that further investigation and analysis may be necessary.
Since the hazardous materials database check was
conducted over one year ago (dated December 1, 2008)
and five sites with leaking underground storage tanks were
listed within a 0.50 -mile radius of the project site, PBS &J
has included the task of having Environmental Data
Resources, Inc. (EDR) run an updated hazardous materials
database check to confirm that no new hazardous material
activities have taken place within the project vicinity. If it
is determined that this database check is not necessary, we
can revise the budget included herein.
The environmental document will describe planned uses
at the project site (under both Options) that could create
hazards for existing or future residents or occupants, such
as those associated with the use, disposal, transportation,

or potential upset of hazardous materials, including those
typically used for commercial cleaning. Federal, State,
county, and City laws and regulations governing hazardous
materials will be summarized. The environmental
document will also evaluate the extent to which both
options of the project could impair or physically interfere
with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency
evacuation plan, or expose people or structures to a
significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland
fires, the latter of which is highly unlikely.
Hydrofogy and Water Quti€€ (S� farina M. Cool:., Ph.D.)
Existing hydrologic conditions will be identified,
including the extent and nature of the existing watershed,
groundwater recharge and supply, drainage conditions,
and water quality. According to the Phase I and Phase
II Environmental Site Assessment Report, the depth to
groundwater in the project area ranges from 9 1. 1 to 94.05
feet below ground surface. The groundwater flow direction
was found to be multi - directional. The groundwater depth
may vary due to the potential presence of discontinuous
perched aquifers. The groundwater depth and direction of
flow may also vary depending on extraction activities and
natural or artificial recharge rates. Furthermore, the varied
topography at the project site, as well as its proximity to
the Pacific Ocean, the groundwater flow direction in the
vicinity of the project site is likely to be variable.
Surface water resources will be described for the project
area. Existing and planned drainage and flood control
facilities will also be described. According to the 2009
Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment
Report, the project site is not located within the 100- or
500 -year floodplain zone. However, if updated research
indicates the project site is in fact located within a 100 -
or 500 -year floodplain zone, the 100- and 500 -year
floodplains within the project vicinities will be mapped,
and any exposure of structures to the 100 -year floodplain
will be evaluated. Typically, studies are not conducted
in areas that are unlikely to pose a significant threat of
flooding. During our site visit, we observed a narrow
drainage channel on -site that parallels the developed
portion of the campus on the west side. It appears that the
channel dumps directly into the parking lot. Due to the
41 2 3
19
terrain of campus, water likely drains to the channel from
the hillside and athletic field.
The potential increase in the rate of runoff as a result of
the proposed project will be described and compared
to pre - development conditions. As discussed previously
in this section, the overall slope of the project site from
the northeast to the southwest is roughly five percent.
The project site is graded in two pads with a 2:1 slope
separating the pads. The proposed grading (roughly 37,000
cubic yards of soil) will eliminate the bench and create a
more natural transition. The environmental document will
analyze whether the proposed project would adversely alter
the existing drainage pattern of the site, such that flooding,
erosion, or other degraded water quality conditions would
occur. As would be expected, impacts related to erosion
are not considered likely, particularly assuming compliance
with the requirements of the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program during
construction activities.
A description of existing water quality conditions will
be compiled based on existing data or inquiries to local
agencies. The environmental document will address
potential changes in surface water and groundwater quality
as a result of site development. PBS &J will discuss the
applicability of relevant water quality regulations to reduce
potential effects. In addition, this section will determine
whether the project would result in a rate of flow that
exceeds any downstream storm drain facility's capacity.
The risk of inundation by seiches, mudflows, and tsunamis
will also be addressed in the environmental document.
However, the risk of inundation by seiches or mudflows
is considered highly unlikely given that there is no nearby
water body that could result in a seiche (the Pacific Ocean
is 1.6 miles west of the project site), and similarly, there are
no mountain ranges in close enough proximity to result in
mudflows at the project site.
The issues identified above will be discussed and supported
with documentation in the environmental document.
However, if preparing an EIR, Hydrology and Water
Quality will likely be scoped out in the IS /NOP.

Land Use and Ptartraing (Jessie Barltiley)
The Land Use section of the environmental document will
describe the consistency of the proposed land use with
the Citys General Plan. The land use section will describe
existing land uses, intensities, and patterns in the vicinity
of the project site and the compatibility of the proposed
project with existing development. The environmental
document will evaluate any potential conflicts between
the proposed development and surrounding uses. These
conflicts could include a use that would create a nuisance
for adjacent properties or result in incompatibility with
surrounding land uses, such as difference in the physical
scale of development, noise levels, traffic levels, or hours
of operation. The environmental document will evaluate
the extent to which adopted City development standards
or proposed design standards would eliminate or minimize
potential conflicts between the proposed project and
adjacent uses. As described in Section 3, the proposed
project includes the following planning entitlements:
A Specific Plan to allow a maximum floor area ratio
(FAR) of 0.75 for Option 1 and increased density for
Option 2
A General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to
re -zone the property from PRD to 540 East Imperial
Avenue Specific Plan
b A Zone Text Amendment to establish development
standards for the Specific Plan
6 A Subdivision to re- configure the existing six parcels
into seven new parcels with a "for condominium
purposes" designation for Option 1 and /or a
subdivision for 30 lots for Option 2
i A Development Agreement in order to implement the
proposed project
The potential impacts of the above requirements will be
discussed in the environmental document.
Nlinerof Resources (George Bunvasser, PG)
The environmental document will analyze the potential for
the proposed project to result in the loss of availability of
a known mineral resource or a locally important mineral
resource recovery site. Additionally, according to the Phase
4123...E
I and Phase II Report, the project site is not located within
an oil producing area; however, it is located between the El
Segundo and Hyperion Oil Fields. No oil or gas wells were
found to exist on or adjacent to the project site. During
Leighton's site visit in 2009, signs for a petroleum pipeline
were observed along the north side of East Imperial
Avenue. Potentially significant impacts are not anticipated,
however, this issue will be included in the environmental
document as per CEQA. If preparing an EIR, Mineral
Resources will likely be scoped out in the IS/NOP.
NOISO (GeoPtrey H. Hornek)
PBS &J will use the results of the traffic study, information
regarding construction phases (18 to 24 months; uses
may be built concurrently or independently), schedules,
and equipment, as well as information regarding specific
activities and hours of operation to model the potential
noise impacts generated by the proposed project. Existing
ambient daytime noise levels will be measured at locations
(to be selected in coordination with the City) within
and around the proposed project site to establish current
baseline noise levels. These locations will be identified on
a map. The daytime noise levels will be measured using
a Larson -Davis Model 814 precision sound level meter,
which satisfies the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) for general environmental noise measurement
instrumentation. Potential impacts of surrounding
uses (i.e., dog park across East Imperial Avenue) on the
proposed project use will also be analyzed and discussed.
Noise will be characterized in the following terms:
h L q, the equivalent energy noise level, is the average
acoustic energy content of noise for a stated period of
time; for evaluating community impacts, this rating
scale does not vary, regardless of whether the noise
occurs during the day or the night
Lmin, the minimum instantaneous noise level
experienced during a given period of time
Lm_, the maximum instantaneous noise level
experienced during a given period of time
Existing 24 -hour noise levels will be calculated for
various roadway segments in the project vicinities using
Printed on Recycled Paper an Atkins company
PBS &J Proposal # 0413:017721:1 1 10
Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project
the Federal Highway Administration Highway Noise
Prediction Model (FHWA -RD -77 -108) and current
traffic counts from the traffic report prepared for the
project. The model will calculate the average noise level at
specific locations based on traffic volumes, average speeds,
roadway geometry, and site environmental conditions.
Vehicle noise energy rates in the FWHA model will be
modified to incorporate rates utilized by Caltrans, which
better represent vehicle noise levels in California. The
analysis of operational noise impacts will address future
noise levels at the project site and in the project vicinities.
Future noise levels along the roadway segments in the
project vicinities will be calculated to determine whether
traffic generated by the project causes a substantial
increase in noise at off -site locations.
Noise levels generated during construction will be
estimated based upon anticipated construction schedules,
techniques, and building types, and all assumptions in
the noise analysis will be consistent with what is assumed
in the air quality and transportation /traffic analyses. The
potential for construction noise to impact nearby noise -
sensitive land uses (i.e., residences to the west, south and
east) will be characterized by quantifying anticipated noise
levels (e.g., based on distance). Furthermore, vibration
impacts from project - related construction activities will
also be evaluated if any pile- driving or other vibration -
inducing activities occur.
For any impacts that exceed identified significance
thresholds, feasible mitigation measures will be identified,
which may include modification of construction techniques
or hours, changes in project design or layout, provision of
temporary or long -term barriers to noise transmission, or
limitations on outdoor nighttime activities.
Population and Housing (Jessie Markley)
The proposed project would not displace housing but
would introduce new housing under either option.
Therefore, the proposed project could alter the population,
employment, and housing characteristics for the area
through a change in land uses. As part of the project, a
Subdivision is required to re- configure the existing six
parcels into seven new parcels with a "for condominium
4123.
purposes" designation for Option 1 and /or a Subdivision
for 30 lots for Option 2. The potential population increase
associated with the proposed project will be estimated
using the number and type of dwelling units proposed
(for each option) and the employment generation (and
associated population growth, if any) will be estimated.
The EIR will evaluate the project's consistency with
any housing affordability requirements. The EIR will
summarize the employment and housing characteristics of
the city and region based on existing documentation and
will be utilized to determine potential project impacts.
Applicable General Plan policies regarding population,
housing (including affordable housing), and employment
opportunities will be described and analyzed in the EIR.
The environmental document will address potential
impacts of the project on police and fire department
response capabilities and time. The environmental
document would also address - proper site access and
circulation, location and number of fire hydrants,
and fire prevention devices and systems that would be
installed. The proposed facilities would have a larger
number of employees than the current closed facilities.
However, the proposed project is not anticipated to
increase City population significantly. Since there is no
anticipated significant increase in population with the
proposed project, impacts on schools and libraries is
anticipated to be minimal. This will be substantiated in the
environmental document. However, the potential impacts
of demolishing an existing school may create impacts."This
issue will be analyzed in the environmental document. If
preparing an EIR, Public Services will likely be scoped out
in the IS /NOR.
WL'Uticn (Alllsciri W Srudin)
Visitors of the proposed project may. utilize City of El
Segundo parks or recreational facilities on more than an
occasional basis. Approximately 20 to 25 percent of the
total square footage of the assisted /independent living
space, and 10 to 15 percent of the senior apartment
complex will be dedicated to amenities which may include:
a pool /therapy pool, fitness center, community room,

library, arts & crafts area, dining hall, bistro, garden, and/
or a theater. During our site visit, the athletic field on-
site appeared to be maintained and in use. The potential
impacts as a result of losing the on -site athletic field
will be discussed in the environmental document. The
environmental document will update the list of existing
and planned park/recreational facilities in the area, and
determine whether there is a significant increase in the
demand for parkland /recreation facilities generated by the
proposed project, which is considered unlikely.
Transportation to an 'rr affic (Kirnley -Horn and.
Assoclatt -5, Inc., and Kimberly M. Avila, A.1CP)
As indicated under Subtask 2A above, KHA will produce a
stand -alone Traffic Study that provides recommendations
for the mitigation of project impacts, if any. The report
will include the appropriate maps showing the study
area(s), study intersections, and locations of the cumulative
projects, diagrams showing peak hour turning movement
volumes at the study intersections for each scenario, and
trip distribution percentages. All calculations will be
provided. PBS &J will respond to comments received from
El Segundo staff. The MND or EIR will summarize the
results of the Traffic Study.
Utilities & Service Systems (David S. Beauch: sup)
The analysis of wet utilities (sewer, water, and storm drain)
will focus on the adequacy of existing City systems to
accommodate the proposed project. With respect to sewer,
this section of the environmental document will address
whether the sewage generated by either option of the
proposed project would exceed the wastewater treatment
requirements of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality
Control Board. In addition, PBS &J would also coordinate
with the City to ensure that the wastewater treatment
provider has adequate capacity to serve the proposed
project's projected demand, in addition to the provider's
existing commitments. Similarly, the environmental
document will address whether the wastewater generated
by either option of the project would require the
expansion of existing wastewater treatment facilities or
the construction of new wastewater treatment facilities. If
inadequate wastewater treatment is identified, measures to
provide adequate wastewater treatment will be identified.
4123
In terms of storm drainage, this section of the
environmental document will address whether
implementation of either option of the proposed
project would exceed the capacity of existing or planned
stormwater drainage systems, either immediately
downstream of the project site or at a potentially
constrained confluence of storm drains further
downstream. If inadequate storm drain capacity is
identified, measures to eliminate impacts (such as the
on -site detention, retention, and /or filtration) and /or
upgrading the storm drain facilities will be identified.
Water quality impacts would also be addressed in the
environmental document. There is overlap in the CEQA
thresholds with respect to the analysis of impacts to storm
drainage: there is a threshold identified in Appendix G of
the CEQA Guidelines for this issue in both hydrology and
water quality and utilities and service systems. Typically, we
address it in one of the two locations, and we refer to the
analysis in the other location.
A water supply assessment will not be required, since none
of the requirements identified in Section 10912(a) of the
Water Code would be triggered, such as the provision of at
least 500 residential uses or a shopping center of more than
250,000 square feet. The environmental document will
evaluate whether adequate water supply is available to serve
the project site by providing the following analysis:
P Anticipated water demand
® Water entitlements and water sources, including
groundwater resources and wells
Need for additional water supply, treatment, and /or
conveyance infrastructure improvements needs to serve
the proposed project
t* Wastewater flow using factors provided from the City's
Public Works Department
The environmental document will provide a description
of existing and future landfill capacity at the landfills that
accept waste from the City of El Segundo and describe any
regulations associated with State - mandated waste reduction
requirements. The amount of solid waste that could be
generated by the proposed project will be quantified
based on factors developed in consultation with the City.

Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project
Projected solid waste will be compared to existing and
future landfill capacity to determine whether the changes
in land use would substantially shorten the life of the
landfill or necessitate expansion of the landfill.
PBS &J will also contact Southern California Gas
Company and Southern California Edison for information
concerning existing and planned energy infrastructure and
sources that would serve the project site. This information
will be summarized in the environmental document.
Based on factors provided by the service providers, the
environmental document will quantify estimated energy
use for either option of the proposed project. This demand
will be discussed with the service providers to determine
whether there is ample supply, which is almost always the
case. If preparing an EIR, Utilities and Service Systems will
likely be scoped out in the IS /NOR.
As an optional task, PBS &J could prepare a full Wet
Utilities Technical Study for the proposed project. The
scope of work and budget for this task would be provided
separately if and when such a study is deemed necessary.

Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center EIR, Pomona, California. Contributed to the preparation of the
environmental analysis for the Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center ( PVHMC), a regional medical facility, centrally
located in the City of Pomona, that provides emergency, in- patient hospital and out - patient services. The PVHMC is
working to develop a Master Plan for the modernization and expansion of its core campus, in part to become compliant
with SB 1953. The PVHMC Specific Plan is intended to guide development of the medical center through the year
2030. Under the Specific Plan, the PVHMC core campus would be expanded to approximately 475 hospital beds and
approximately 1,012,314 square feet of combined new and existing facilities. Infrastructure improvements to support the
new facilities are also proposed, along with certain off -site traffic control and minor sewer and storm drain improvements.
Two public streets would be closed where they traverse the medical center campus and the public right -of -way would
be vacated. The medical center's core campus surface parking lots would be reconfigured to improve internal circulation
and maximize parking. Additional new landscaping, enhanced signage, and related improvements would be included in
the overall development. Implementation of the Specific Plan will take place in three phases between 2009 and 2030.
Fairly detailed plans exist for Phase I of the Specific Plan project, expected to start construction in 2009, allowing for the
evaluation of Phase 1 environmental effects at a project- specific level. Plans for Phases 2 and 3 are still in conceptual stages.
Accordingly, this EIR will evaluate these latter phases at a programmatic level.

Monica — Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD). In 2006, voters in Santa Monica and Malibu passed Measure BB,
a $268 million school construction and renovation bond, for the SMMUSD. The project includes use of a portion of these
funds for the development of new classrooms supporting a three grade level house system, improved administrative spaces
and exterior commons upgrades, and collectively making transformative improvements to the existing school campus. The
project also proposed to transform the front entrance to the school to provide enhanced presence, greater convenience, and
increased security along 16th Street. One of the important objectives of the proposed project was the reinforcement of the
campus into three grade level academic houses, each with its own distinct identity and courtyard space. The goal was to
encourage social interaction and provide for outdoor instructional spaces for each grade level. The Focused EIR included
discussion of cultural resources, air quality, and noise impacts of the proposed project.

Global Climate Change Analysis of the Panama Lane Wal -Mart Project, City. of Bakersfield, California. Developed
the analysis strategy in coordination with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District and supervised staff in
the emissions quantification, mitigation strategies, and the analysis report. The proposed project was a shopping center
that included a Wal -Mart Superstore totaling 246,000 square feet of floor space on Panama Lane near State Route 99 in
the city of Bakersfield. The original EIR for this project was certified and subsequently challenged in 2003 by a citizen's
action group, which was opposed to the approval of Wal -Mart stores in the Bakersfield area. This group commented
extensively on the EIR. One of the criticisms by this group in their comment letters on the Draft EIR was that the EIR
did not address climate change or the increase in GHG emissions that would result from a new Wal -Mart store. The court
reviewed the citizens group complaints and vacated approval of the project in 2003. This analysis was done in support of
the recirculated EIR in 2007 and resulted in both approval of the project and withstood additional legal challenge.
Public Outreach, GHG Emissions Reduction Strategies in the Local Planning Process, AEP, White Plains, New York.

Irvine Business Complex (IBC) Shuttle, Irvine, California. Project Manager. KHA conducted a survey of potential
shuttle users to determine the viability of establishing a shuttle service for the Irvine Business Complex (IBC) in the
city of Irvine. The survey measured the level of interest for shuttle service amongst employees and residents of the
IBC, MetroLink riders, and employers in the IBC. KHA also designed two shuttle routes which serviced the primary
employment centers in the IBC, John Wayne Airport, the Jamboree MetroLink station, and retail and restaurant centers
in and near the IBC. The shuttle route design included a commute period routing and timing, and a separate route and
timing for the lunchtime period. KHA also performed research into the operational characteristics of various shuttle
vehicles that could be deployed as part of the shuttle network, and identified potential funding that may be available
from federal, state, and local sources for the capital and operating. costs of the shuttle system. The IBC shuttle service was
initiated in 2008.
Lakeshore Towers Parking Demand and Site Circulation Study, Irvine, California. Project Manager. KHA conducted
a complex, data - intensive parking demand study fora 600,000- square -foot mixed -use development (office, health club,
restaurant, and retail). The development is served by an 1,800- space, 7 -level parking structure, with card access for office
employees, keypad access for valet, and ticket /pay access for visitors and customers. KHA developed a data collection
program that identified the purpose, duration, and parking accumulation total for every vehicle parked in the structure,
for every hour that the structure was in operation. Person -to- person surveys were conducted, with a delay of no greater
than five seconds.to the incoming Parker, to determine purpose; and a numbered card system was used to determine
parking duration. A spreadsheet was then developed to automate the data compilation process. As result of the analysis, a
parking variance was obtained, and on -site circulation improvements were identified and are currently being implemented.
University Village /Orchard Park Specific Plan, Loma Linda, California. Project Manager. KHA prepared the Traffic
Impact Study for the joint University Village /Orchard Park mixed -use project in the city of Loma Linda. The traffic
study was prepared in accordance with San Bernardino CMP requirements, and evaluated and identified project - related
traffic impacts at 28 intersections, including several intersections in adjacent cities. The project actually consisted of two
Specific Plans, owned and planned by two separate owners, but located side -by -side in the eastern portion of the city
of Loma Linda. The University Village Specific Plan consisted of a mixed -use development of 1,700 dwelling units and
172,000 square feet of commercial use on 170 acres. The Orchard Park Specific Plan consisted of over 960,000 square
feet of neighborhood and regional commercial, and 1,260 dwelling units on 138 acres. On -site roadways were designed
to be continuous across and through the two project sites, including a traffic circle located on the boundary between the
two projects, so that half the circle was in University Village and the other half was in Orchard Park. The two Specific
Plan areas were studied and cleared environmentally in one document. The Traffic Study evaluated the traffic- related
impacts of each of the Specific Plans individually, and then cumulatively. Mitigation responsibility was also quantified
individually for each project.

Barstow Industrial Park, Barstow, California. As part of the environmental team, KHA
Professional Affiliations
prepared the Traffic Impact Study for the 15- million- square -foot Barstow Industrial
American Planning Association
Park in the City of Barstow. The Traffic Study was prepared in accordance with the San
Bernardino Congestion Management Program (CMP) requirements, and evaluated
project - related traffic impacts at all qualified study intersections.
The project consists of 15 million square feet of hi -cube warehouse, distribution, and
manufacturing buildings in the far western portion of the City of Barstow. The site
is largely vacant and is located adjacent to the BNSF railroad line that connects the
Southern California ports with destinations to the east. The project proposes a 75 -acre
trans -load facility adjacent to the rail line, and will also extend two rail spurs into the site
to provide direct rail -to- warehouse service to several on -site buildings.
The trip generation estimates for the project take into account the reduction in trips
that this movement of goods by rail, in lieu of movement by trucks, will offer. The study
identifies the total number of project trips, as well as the passenger car equivalents (PCE)
to account for the effects of truck traffic. The study includes the planned grade separation
project over the BNSF rail line immediately south of the project, and identifies the
timing for off -site road improvements, based on proposed project phasing.
Ridgeline Equestrian Estates, Orange, California. As part of the environmental team,
KHA prepared the Traffic Impact Study for the Ridgeline Equestrian Estates development
in the Orange Park Acres area of the City of Orange. The project proposes to replace
the now - closed Ridgeline Country Club use with a 39 -unit equestrian estate residential
development. The Ridgeline Country Club use included a number of active community-
oriented recreational facilities, including a golf course, several tennis courts, a swimming
pool used by swim teams for practice and meets, and a banquet facility used for weddings
and other party and meeting functions.
The Traffic Study addressed the impact of the residential project, compared to the
traffic generated by the existing country club uses, and also addressed the impact of the
proposed project on the movement of bicyclists, pedestrians, and equestrians throughout
the project area.
