harmless and indemnify, and at CITY's request reimburse defense
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
negligent or wrongful act, error or omission by CONSULTANT or

or willful misconduct.

4133.
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.

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.

qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSULTANT
pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions
concerning indemnification.

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.

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
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.

measures required by CITY regarding the requirements of this Section.

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
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
Page 7 of 11

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.

use any consultants while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must
approve of the proposed consultant and the terms of compensation.

Subject: Proposal to Prepare an Environmental Impact Report and Design Review
Services for the Raytheon El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project
Dear Ms. Christensen:
RBF Consulting is pleased to submit this Proposal to the City of El Segundo to prepare an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and provide Design Review Services for the Raytheon El
Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project. It is our understanding that the proposed project
involves the 142.28 -acre Raytheon El Segundo site, located south of East El Segundo Boulevard,
between South Sepulveda Boulevard and South Douglas Street. A proposed Specific Plan would
allow for up to 1,843,630 net square feet of additional development on -site. The project would
include some demolition of existing uses and the connection of Hughes Way with Nash Street. A
careful and diligent environmental process is essential for the community and reviewing agencies to
understand the potential effects resulting from the Project.
Based upon our review of available Project information, background with similar projects, and visit to
the site on January 26, 2011, we have developed a greater understanding of the analysis involved
with the Project. We believe that the background and experience of our team members are key
attributes that we can provide. In summary, RBF offers the following benefits for your consideration:
EIR Project Team Commitment and Availability: The designated Team will be led by Mr.
Glenn Lajoie, AICP, serving as Project Manager and Ms. Rita Garcia, serving as Project
Coordinator /Senior Analyst. Mr. Lajoie and Ms. Garcia have an extensive background
related to environmental review involving projects proposing new and increased land use
intensities in urbanized communities. Resumes for each team member are included in this
submittal.
• Legally Defensible Documentation: Throughout RBF's 39 years of preparing
environmental documentation, we have attained extensive experience in writing accurate,
legally defensible environmental documents for all types of policy, development and
infrastructure projects.
Experience with High Density Development Sites: Our resume includes several high
density mixed -use projects in highly sensitive environments and built -out urban areas.
Project references include the Shoreline Gateway Project EIR for the City of Long Beach,
the Beverly Hills Gardens and Montage Hotel EIR Project (mixed use /residential
development), multiple environmental studies in the Cypress Business Park, the Fair Isaac
Corporate Headquarters EIR in San Rafael, the Pacific Trade EIR in El Monte and the
Automobile Club Headquarters EIR in Costa Mesa.

extensive background of services and expertise for projects including General Plans,
Specific Plans, Environmental Impact Reports, Due Diligence Reports, Negative Declaration,

1.3 UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT
The City of El Segundo is seeking a consultant to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
and provide Design Review Services for a Specific Plan involving the 142.28 -acre Raytheon El
Segundo site located south of East El Segundo Boulevard, in the block between South Sepulveda
Boulevard and South Douglas Street. The proposed project would allow for up to an additional
1,843,630 net square feet in development in addition to the 1,874,591 net square feet of
development already located on the campus site. The project entitlements include a General Plan
Amendment, General Plan Map Amendment, Zone Change, Zone Text Amendment and Specific
Plan. The project would also include a Development Agreement and a Vesting Tentative Tract Map
to divide the property into an estimated 24 parcels. There is no current plan for the build -out of the
site, however, it is anticipated that the additional development would be constructed over the
estimated 10 -year term of the proposed Development Agreement.
The proposed overall FAR for the Specific Plan area is 0.6 on a pre - dedication of public right -of -way
basis. As part of the Development Agreement and Specific Plan, it is proposed that Hughes Way be
connected with Nash Street. Some demolition is anticipated in the submitted conceptual site plan
(approximately 16,000 square feet of existing office and warehouse). The draft Specific Plan would
identify uses and conditionally permitted uses. It is anticipated that the Specific Plan would allow for
flexibility in what is ultimately developed at the site. The Specific Plan is anticipated to also provide
the flexibility to Raytheon to dispose of property to other owners to be utilized for uses allowed in the
Plan. It is proposed that all new construction would exceed minimum Cal Green standards.
The initiation of the CEQA process will involve a detailed scoping process including a review of
issues, constraints and project opportunities. RBF, working closely and in collaboration with City
Staff, will embark on an agency consultation process, which will include a public scoping session,
which will provide an opportunity to obtain a better understanding of key environmental concerns of
concerned agencies and the community, as well as informing the public as to the purpose of the
CEQA review and determination process. The Initial Study will be circulated with the Notice of

Preparation for a 30 -day review. Comments received during the review period will be evaluated as
part of preparation of the Draft EIR.
The Draft EIR will include the Introduction and Purpose, Executive Summary and Project
Description. The Environmental Analysis section will evaluate the necessary information with respect
to the existing conditions, the potential adverse effects of Project construction and implementation
(both individual and cumulative), and measures to mitigate such effects. Environmental issues
raised during the scoping process (Notice of Preparation responses; Public Scoping mailing; and
any other relevant and valid informative sources) will also be evaluated. The environmental analysis
section of the EIR will thoroughly discuss the existing conditions for each environmental issue area;
identify short-term and long -term environmental impacts associated with the project and their levels
of significance. Feasible mitigation measures will be recommended to reduce the significance of
impacts and identify areas of unavoidable significant adverse impacts even after mitigation. The
environmental documentation will assist in identifying constraints, modifications and improvements
which may be incorporated into the land planning process. The EIR will include analysis for the
following environmental issue areas:
• Air Quality: Air emissions resulting from demolition, project construction and buildout will
be studied. The project's mobile and area source emissions will be evaluated in accordance
with the South Coast Air Quality Management District's modeling criteria.
• Drainage and Water Quality: The RBF team will evaluate alterations to on- and off -site
drainage facilities and water quality impacts. RBF's Hydrology Division will conduct a peer
review of the Applicant's technical study information in order to confirm accuracy and
compliance with CEQA.
• Geology and Soils: Project site conditions, potential constraints and recommendations for
corrections to existing soil and geotechnical conditions will be presented. Two optional
approaches are presented for this section, including peer review of Applicant - prepared
technical studies or independent technical analysis.
• Greenhouse Gas /Climate Change: RBF will conduct a greenhouse gas emissions
analysis and a review of consistency with the State's goals for reducing emissions.
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials: Based upon available environmental references and
data from the Applicant and City, this section will identify any known existing hazardous
conditions in the project area. Two optional approaches are presented for this section,
including peer review of Applicant - prepared studies or an independent Phase 1 Hazardous
Materials review.
• Land Use and Relevant Planning: Consistency with existing policies, standards and
overall compatibility of the project with nearby uses will be studied.
• Noise: Project noise impacts to sensitive uses in the vicinity will be addressed. Impacts
along local roadways and to sensitive receptors in the vicinity will be analyzed.
• Public Services and Utilities: The ability of existing public services, utilities and
infrastructure to support development and increased demand will require further analysis.
This section will include an SB 610 Water Supply Analysis.

Traffic and Circulation: RBF will address on- and off -site construction affects traffic level
of service impacts, turning movements, circulation modifications and improvements for
nearby roadways and regional facilities. Optional traffic review tasks have been identified
that are subject to further discussions with City Staff.
• Growth Inducing Impacts: The potential for the Project to induce growth will be evaluated
in accordance with local and regional projections.
• Alternatives: The analysis will evaluate possible impacts associated with alternatives
capable of avoiding or reducing the project impacts. A comparative analysis of impacts for
each alternative with the proposed project will be conducted. A matrix will be utilized to
assist the reader when evaluating impacts.
• Cumulative Impacts: A comprehensive review will be conducted.
The scale of the project, as well as its geographical location, requires consideration of
environmental, planning and design criteria. Careful consideration is necessary for on -site
conditions and compatibility of the project with the surrounding community. RBF will serve as an
extension of staff to assure that the entire CEQA process is conducted in a comprehensive manner,
which will include consideration of recent CEQA legislation and requirements of reviewing agencies.
The RBF project management team led by Mr. Glenn Lajoie, AICP and Ms. Rita Garcia, will provide
regular and consistent communications and updates to staff on the progression of the work program
and status of the analysis.
The RBF Team will be viewed as an integral component in the project review and will participate in
meetings with staff and public hearings, as required by the City. The RBF Team will have the
responsibility of leading the public participation program for the environmental review, including the
Public Scoping meeting, Draft EIR public review meeting, and throughout the public hearing process
for certification of the EIR. The RBF Team will assist decision makers and the public in
understanding the analysis, conclusions of the EIR review and guide the CEQA review process.
RBF has served in this role with a countless number of agencies and with a wide range of project's
of great interest to communities.
RBF will complete the environmental review process, respond to all comments received during the
Draft EIR public review period, prepare the mitigation monitoring program and draft the necessary
Findings and possible Statement of Overriding Considerations pursuant to Sections 15091 and
15093 of the CEQA Guidelines. The environmental review process will result in the presentation of
pertinent information associated with Project impacts and findings to the City decision makers for
determination and CEQA certification.
RBF's Design Review Services involve review of the project site plan, draft Specific Plan and
supporting information in order to provide the Citywith comments and recommendations to enhance
the overall quality of the project. RBF has served in similar roles for high profile master plan projects
in other communities such as Novato, Santa Paula, Tustin and Los Alamitos.

11, SCOPE OF WORK
The following Scope of Work has been prepared based upon information received by RBF
Consulting. The cost estimate, which is itemized according to task and issue, is included in Section
IX of this proposal.
1.0 PROJECT SCOPING
1.1 PROJECT KICK -OFF AND PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
The EIR work program will be initiated with a kick -off meeting with City Staff to discuss the project in
greater detail. This initial meeting is vital to the success of the CEQA process and will be a key
milestone in order to confirm the parameters of the analysis, the details of construction proposed
buildout conditions, scheduling and overall communications. Prior to the kick -off, RBF will distribute
a kick -off meeting agenda and detailed memorandum, which will identify information needs. Based
upon the detailed project information obtained at the project kick -off meeting, RBF will draft a
preliminary project description for review and approval by City Staff.
1.2 RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION
RBF will obtain and review available referenced data for the project area, including policy
documentation from the City of El Segundo, County of Los Angeles, State and Federal agencies, the
Southern California Association of Governments and all other agencies which may be affected by
the Project. This information, along with environmental data and information available from the City
and other nearby jurisdictions, will become part of the foundation of the EIR and will be reviewed
and incorporated into the analysis, as deemed appropriate. This task includes a visit to the project
area, which will include a detailed photographic recording of on- and off -site conditions.
1.3 AGENCY CONSULTATION
As indicated in Section 15083 of the CEQA Guidelines, many public agencies have found that early
consultation solves many potential conflicts that could arise in more serious forms later in the review
process. Although the Notice of Preparation and Public Scoping Meeting will provide that
opportunity, RBF will conduct additional discussions with local, state and federal agencies which will
assist in the early stages of the analysis and issue delineation. This scoping can be an effective
way to bring together and resolve the concerns of affected Federal, State and local agencies as well
as the local community.
1.4 PREPARATION OF THE INITIAL STUDY
The Initial Study will include detailed explanations of all checklist determinations and discussions of
potential environmental impacts. The analysis will be prepared in accordance with Public

will be consistent with the Transportation Project -Level Carbon Monoxide Protocol, prepared by the
Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis.
B. Drainage and Water Quality
This task assumes that technical analysis related to drainage and water quality impacts would be
prepared by the Project Applicant. RBF's in -house stormwater specialists will perform a peer review
of the Applicant's studies for technical accuracy, consistency with applicable standards, and
defensibility. RBF will review the reports to ensure that the studies contain a review of existing
documentation, watershed boundary delineation, existing conditions analysis, analysis of proposed
hydrology, analysis of proposed drainage facilities, floodplain impacts, water quality impacts
(WQMP) and NPDES requirements.
This scope includes two rounds of peer review of-the hydrology and water quality study and two
comment memos based on the review. After the first round of peer review, a second round would
be performed in order to confirm that initial comments were adequately addressed.
Utilizing the finalized drainage and water quality reports, this impact section will address changes in
absorption rates, drainage patterns, storm drain improvement, and downstream affects. RBF will
also evaluate water quality conditions and identify water quality ( NPDES) techniques /structures in
accordance with local, State and Federal requirements. The potential for the project to degrade
water quality, interfere with groundwater recharge or expose people to water related hazards will be
identified.
C. Geology and Solis
This scope of work assumes that geotechnical documentation would be prepared by the Project
Applicant and provided for use within the EIR. In the event that the Project Applicant does not
provide a site - specific geotechnical study for review, Optional Task 8.1 has been provided for an
independent site - specific geotechnical review and would replace this task.
To assist in ensuring a comprehensive and defensible review of impacts related to geology and
soils, RBF has retained D. Scott Magorien, CEG, for the technical peer review of Applicant- prepared
geotechnical documentation. The peer review would consist of the following:
• A review of relevant geologic /soils data, color aerial photographs, as well as contacting the
City and County Emergency Management Agency to request records of geotechnical reports
associated with construction of the existing building, and the adjacent commercial
developments;
• A technical peer review of the Applicant - prepared geotechnical report for the project for the
purpose of assessing the adequacy of the consultant's evaluation of site - specific geologic
hazards and potentially significant geotechnical constraints, and mitigation measures
associated with the proposed development;
A review of the most recent proposed grading plan; and
• Site reconnaissance to review on -site geologic conditions.

4 Environmental Impact Report and Design Review Services
This effort would include two rounds of peer review, involving an initial letter report that would
address the adequacy of the geotechnical consultant's report in terms of characterization of
geotechnical /geologic hazards and constraints, and associated mitigation recommendations. The
second round of the review would involve an assessment of the adequacy of their responses to
initial peer review comments. No assessment of soil or groundwater contamination is included for
this review.
The finalized geotechnical report would be utilized by RBF to support the conclusions within the EIR.
The impact section will provide a description of existing conditions, potential project impacts and
hazards, and applicable mitigation measures, if necessary.
D. Greenhouse Gas Analysts /Cllrnate Change
RBF has developed proprietary models for quantifying and analyzing greenhouse gases (GHG) from
a variety of direct and indirect sources including construction, vehicular traffic, electricity
consumption, water conveyance, and sewage treatment. RBF's analyses recommend innovative
greenhouse gas /air pollutant reduction methods during the construction and operation of a project,
conduct advanced air dispersion modeling, evaluate the potential impacts of air pollutants on
surrounding areas, investigate the use of renewable energy sources /energy efficient products, and
quantify the benefits of resource conservation (i.e., electricity usage, recycling, etc.). The following
outlines RBF's Climate Change Analysis for the proposed project:
Emissions Inventory. RBF will review the land use data associated with the Specific Plan and will
prepare an inventory of the greenhouse emissions (i.e., nitrous oxide, methane, and carbon dioxide)
from both direct and indirect sources. The emissions inventory will be compiled consistent with the
methodology prescribed by the California Air Resources Board (CARE) in the Local Government
Operations Protocol for the Quantification and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories.
The analysis will determine the project's impact by determining if it is consistent with the Assembly
Bill 32 mandate of reducing GHG's by approximately 29 percent beyond "Business as Usual"
conditions. The GHG reduction associated with the Specific Plan's design features will be quantified
utilizing the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) methodology
(Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures — A Resource for Local Government to Assess
Emission Reductions from Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures [September 2010]).
Energy Conservation. RBF will analyze the energy implications of the project pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21100(b)(3) and Appendix F of the CEQA Guidelines. These statutes and
guidelines require CEQA compliance documentation to describe, where relevant, the wasteful,
inefficient, and unnecessary consumption of energy caused by a project. The analysis will analyze
energy consumption associated with short-term construction activities, long -term operations,
buildings, and transportation. Additionally, the assessment of environmental impacts on energy
resources will include mitigation measures to reduce inefficient and unnecessary consumption of
energy.
E. Hazardous Materials
This scope of work assumes that hazardous materials documentation would be provided by the
project applicant for use in the EIR. In the event that the project applicant does not provide
hazardous materials information, Optional Task 8.2 has been provided which involves the

City of El Segundo
Proposal for the Raytheon El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan
. Environmental Impact Report and Design Review Services
preparation of a Preliminary Hazardous Materials Assessment. This scope includes two rounds of
peer review of the hazardous materials documentation provided by the applicant. After the initial
peer review, a second peer review would occur in order to confirm that the initial comments were
adequately addressed.
RBF's review will focus on the methodology used for the documentation. RBF will discuss the
findings, opinions, and conclusions made in the documentation as it pertains to the CEQA
document. This Task does not include an RBF site inspection, interviews, review of public records,
or completion of other ASTM Standard Practice E 1527 -05 areas that may or may not be present in
the ESA document during the peer review. The finalized hazardous materials reports /information
will be incorporated into the EIR. Existing Conditions, potential project impacts and applicable
mitigation measures will be presented.
F. Land Use and Relevant Planning
In accordance with the City's 1983 specification requiring preparation of a Specific Plan, the project
applicant proposes the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan. Approval of the Specific Plan
would allow the property to be built up to the permitted 0.6:1 FAR, or an additional 1,843,630 square
feet including office, warehousing, light industrial, and retail. Additionally, the project involves
relocating the existing private recreational facilities, a commercial gym and a jogging track.
The proposed project entitlements include a General Plan (Land Use Element) Amendment, in order
to incorporate the Specific Plan, and a General Plan Land Use Map Amendment, in order to
redesignate the site from Light Industrial to El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan. Pursuant to
ESZC Section 15 -26 -1, amendments to the provisions of Title 15 may be undertaken by amending
the Zoning Map or revising the text of the Zoning Title. Accordingly, the project proposes to amend
the Zoning Map (i.e., a Zone Change), in order to rezone the site from M -1, O -S, and P -F to El
Segundo South Campus Specific Plan. Additionally, the project proposes to revise the text of the
Zoning Title (i.e., a Zone Text Amendment), in order to incorporate the Specific Plan text. In
accordance with ELZC Section 15 -3 -2, Specific Plan Zones, the El Segundo South Campus Specific
Plan, if adopted, would function as the zoning code for the property. The project also proposes a
Development Agreement and a Vesting Tentative Tract Map, in order to divide the property into 24
parcels.
The Land Use and Relevant Planning analysis will establish baseline land use data, including
existing land uses both on- and off -site, and will identify the relevant land use regulations. This
section will also analyze the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan for consistency with the El
Segundo General Plan and Zoning Code policies and regulations, given the intended uses and
existing entitlements for the property, as well as any pertinent deed restrictions. This section will
also include an analysis of the project's proposed land uses as outlined in Specific Plan Section IV
(Land Use) and a determination of their compatibility with existing and planned uses/ improvements
in the local area. This analysis will consider the surrounding properties, which are zoned Corporate
Office (C -O), Urban Mixed Use North (MU -N) and P -F Zones to the north, M -1 Zone to the east and
south, and O -S and P -F Zones to the west. The review will recommend, as necessary,
modifications to the proposed policies, guidelines, and standards specified in Specific Plan Section
V, in order to mitigate potential impacts and incompatibilities. In addition, the regional planning
review will include consistency with the SCAG Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide Policies.

0. Noise
RBF's in -house acoustical team will conduct the noise analysis. Although the site is situated within
a high -level noise environment, the short-term demolition, construction and ultimate buildout may
affect uses in the local area. In consideration of sensitive receptors in the vicinity, the scope of work
is as follows:
Existinq Conditions. RBF will review applicable noise and land use compatibility criteria for the project
area. Noise standards regulating noise impacts in the noise standards for the City of El Segundo will be
discussed for land uses on and adjacent to the project site. RBF will conduct a site visit and take short-
term noise level measurements throughout the project area. Noise monitoring equipment will consist of a
Briiel & Kjaer model 2250 sound level meter (SLM) equipped with BrOel & Kjaer pre - polarized freefield
microphone. The results of the noise measurements will be post - processed and graphically illustrated
with the BrOel & Kjaer Noise Explorer software. The noise monitoring survey will include short-term
measurements at up to four separate locations to establish baseline noise levels in the project area.
Demolition /Construction- Related Noise. Demolition /construction would occur during implementation
of the proposed project. The construction noise impacts will be evaluated in terms of maximum
levels (Lm.) and hourly equivalent continuous noise levels (Lq) and the frequency of occurrence.
Analysis requirements will be based on the sensitivity of the area and the Noise Ordinance
specifications of the City of El Segundo. The traffic noise levels from construction workers
accessing the site will be qualitatively evaluated.
Operational Noise Sources. Potential effects of stationary noise sources will be evaluated based on
local land use compatibility standards. Compliance with applicable noise standards will be
evaluated, with recommended mitigation measures included where appropriate.
The proposed project is anticipated to generate vehicular traffic trips from future growth. On- and off-
site noise impacts from vehicular traffic will be assessed using the U.S. Federal Highway Traffic
Noise Prediction Model (FHWA -RD -77 -108). The analysis will focus on noise impacts associated
with the development of the proposed project. Model input data will include average daily traffic
volumes, day /night percentages of autos, medium and heavy trucks, vehicle speeds, ground
attenuation factors, and roadway widths. The 24-hour weighted Community Noise Equivalent Levels
(CNEL) will be presented in a tabular format. Traffic parameters necessary for the model input will
be obtained from the traffic impact analysis.
H. Public Services and Utilities
RBF will contact potentially affected agencies to confirm relevant existing conditions, project impacts
and recommended mitigation measures. The discussion will focus on the potential alteration of
existing facilities, extension or expansion of new facilities and the increased demand on services
based on the proposed land uses. RBF will evaluate the ability of the project to receive adequate
service based on applicable City and County standards and, where adequate services are not
available, will identify the effects of inadequate service and recommended mitigation measures.
Issues discussed include:

Roadway Maintenance. The proposed project may incrementally increase the maintenance of
streets, storm drains, and other below surface facilities. RBF will consult with the project team
and City Public Works Division to ascertain key concerns /impacts due to increased utilization of
area roads.
1. Trafflc and Circulation
RBF will prepare a traffic impact analysis for the proposed Raytheon El Segundo South Campus
project. The traffic study will assess the impacts of the proposed project by analyzing forecast trip
generation, distribution, and assignment of the proposed project on the study area circulation
system. As necessary, mitigation measures for identified project - generated traffic impacts will be
recommended in accordance with applicable agency performance criteria and thresholds of
significance. This scope of work is based discussions with City staff and RBF transportation staffs
familiarity with the City of El Segundo and the project site. Please refer also to Optional Tasks 8.3A-
F in this proposal, which presents further traffic analysis, subject to further discussions with City
Staff.
Study Conditions. Based on discussions with City staff, the traffic analysis will identify traffic
operations under the following scenarios:
• Existing Conditions;
• Forecast Near -Term Year Without Project Conditions;
• Forecast Near -Term Year With Project Conditions;
Forecast Long -Range Without Project Conditions; and
• Forecast Long -Range With Project Conditions.
StudyArea. The proposed project could generate approximately 20,000 average daily trips, which
would include approximately 2,500 peak hour trips during both the a.m. peak hour and the p.m. peak
hour. Therefore, as part of the analysis, RBF proposes to count up to 65 study intersections during
the a.m. peak period (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.) and the p.m. peak period (4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.) on a
typical weekday; the list of study intersections can be modified based on discussion with City staff,

This scope of work does not assume vehicle classification traffic count data collection, however
vehicle classification counts can be accommodated for a fee in addition to the fee associated with
this scope of work.
Since some study intersections are located outside of the City of El Segundo, the traffic analysis
will utilize applicable agency performance criteria and thresholds of significance as appropriate.
Due to the overlap of jurisdictions, some study intersections may be analyzed and subject to
multiple jurisdiction traffic impact review. Study intersections within the jurisdiction of Caltrans will
be analyzed in accordance with the Caltrans Guide for the Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies
(State of California Department of Transportation, December 2002).
Site Visit/Existing Systems Documentation. RBF will visit the study area to document existing
conditions including intersection control, traffic signal phasing, roadway cross - section, speed limits,
parking restrictions, intersection approach lanes, etc. The traffic analysis will include graphics
documenting the existing intersection roadway geometry, and the analysis will utilize existing
geometric conditions to establish a baseline for current operations.
Cumulative Proiects Trip Generation Distribution and Assignment. RBF will coordinate with City of
El Segundo staff representatives to identify a list of approved /pending projects for inclusion in the
traffic impact analysis. The study will identify the number of daily and peak hour trips forecast to be
generated by approved /pending projects, using trip generation rates contained in Trip Generation
(Institute of Transportation Engineers, 8th Edition, 2008) or other source as directed by agency
staff. RBF will manually derive cumulative projects trip generation and assignment data, which will
be reviewed and approved by applicable agency staff for use in the analysis.
Proposed Proiect Trip Generation Trip Distribution, and Assignment. The study will identify the
number of daily and peak hour trips forecast to be generated by the proposed project, using trip
generation rates contained in Trip Generation (Institute of Transportation Engineers, 8th Edition,
2008) or other source as directed by the City, including applicable on -site trip capture assumptions
between compatible land use components of the project, such as the office and retail uses, to
reflect the mixed use nature of the proposed project, as well as appropriate pass -by trip
adjustments. Assumptions regarding project trip generation will be reviewed and approved by City
staff prior to inclusion in the analysis.
The traffic study will provide a forecast distribution of project - generated trips, taking into account
the proposed modified roadway circulation system in order to connect Nash Street to Hughes Way,
which may include redistribution of non - projected generated trips as well as project generated trips.
Manual trip distribution and assignment will be reviewed and approved by agency staff prior to
utilization in the analysis.
Forecast Near -Term Year Traffic Volumes. Forecast near -term year traffic volumes will be based
on either specific cumulative projects traffic data supplied by agency staff, and /or by applying an
annual traffic growth rate provided by the agency staff to adjust existing traffic volumes to the
designated future horizon year. Forecast near -term year conditions will assume planned,
programmed, and funded circulation improvements identified by agency staff, anticipated for
completion by the project opening year.

Forecast Long -Range Year Traffic Volumes. Forecast long -term year traffic volumes will be based
on either specific cumulative projects traffic data supplied by agency staff, and /or by applying an
annual traffic growth rate provided by the agency staff to adjust existing traffic volumes to the
designated future long -range horizon year. Forecast long -range year conditions will assume
planned, programmed, and funded circulation improvements identified by agency staff, anticipated
for completion by the long -range horizon year.
Level of Service. The analysis will assess the forecast traffic impacts of the proposed project
during the a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour at the 65 study intersections for the analysis
scenarios identified above. The analysis will document operation of the study intersections using
both Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) analysis methodology and the Highway Capacity
Manual (HCM) analysis methodology as directed bythe City staff to identify potential project - related
traffic impacts. Intersection level of service analysis will be prepared using the TraffixM software.
If the analysis indicates the proposed project will significantly impact the study intersections based
on agency thresholds of significance, mitigation measures will be recommended in accordance with
established agency performance criteria. The analysis will document forecast operating conditions
after implementation of recommended mitigation measures.
State Highway Analysis. The Caltrans traffic studies guide requires review of substantial individual
projects, which may on their own impact the State Highway transportation system. This State
Highway analysis will be prepared in accordance with the Caltrans Guide for the Preparation of
Traffic Impact Studies (State of California Department of Transportation, December 2002),
assuming the State Highway analysis study area will consist of only the State Highway intersections
in the study area. Study intersections will be analyzed as discussed in the Level of Service section
above. This scope of work assumes no freeway mainline or freeway ramp analysis is required.
The analysis will assess the forecast traffic impacts of the proposed project at the State Highway
study facilities for the peak hours and analysis scenarios identified above in the study scenarios
section. The analysis will document operation of the study intersections for the analysis scenarios to
identify potential project - related traffic impacts using the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2000
analysis methodology.
If the State Highway analysis shows the proposed project will significantly impact a State Highway
facility based on Caltrans thresholds of significance, mitigation measures will be recommended in
accordance with Caltrans performance criteria. The analysis will also document forecast operating
conditions after application of any recommended mitigation measures.
County Congestion Management Program Analysis. The analysis will analyze potential project
impacts as applicable as required by the County of Los Angeles Congestion Management Program
(CMP). If the CMP analyses shows the proposed project will significantly impact a CMP study facility
based on applicable CMP agency thresholds of significance, mitigation measures will be
recommended in accordance with applicable agency performance criteria.
J. Water Supply Assessment
RBF's Water Resources Department will prepare a Water Supply Assessment (WSA) in accordance
with Water Code 10910 and Senate Bill 610. The WSA will identify the existing and planned water
demands and supply sources for the Project study area. West Basin Municipal Water District
(WBMWD) is the wholesale water supplier for the City and the Project. As the City is a purveyor
customer of W BMW D, RBF assumes the City or the District will provide RBF with basic water supply

information, production data, and all pertinent Urban Water Management Planning information in
final format to satisfy the UWMP review requirements of SB 610. The following tasks have been
identified for the preparation of the W SA:
City/WBMWD Coordination and Documents Review. Coordination with the City will consist of a
kick -off meeting to gather the needed documents for review. RBF will coordinate WSA format and
final report submittal for City approval. RBF assumes Water Division or other City department will
provide the required water supply and billing records information. It is assumed Water Division or
WBMWD staff will provide a recently adopted Water Supply Assessment or other document
describing updated water supply information. This is crucial in order to be consistent with water
supply planning from project to project. RBF budget excludes any and all fees charged by the City
of West Basin Municipal Water District for their review and coordination.
Land Use and Water Demand Estimation. RBF assumes that the following will be provided: (1)
meter records to determine existing water demands of the Project study, or (2) existing land uses
and employee population within the Project study area. This will be used to identify existing water
demands. The provided land use plan will be used for determining Specific Plan water demands,
and for determining changed water demands from current conditions.
The Water Supply Assessment will be incorporated into the EIR in accordance with CEQA.
2.7 GROWTH INDUCEMENT
RBF will provide a project specific analysis update of potential growth- inducing impacts pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15126(g). The analysis in this section was based on data from the City of
El Segundo, California Department of Finance, and U.S. Census. The section discusses ways in
which the proposed project could foster economic or population growth, or the construction of
additional housing, either directly or indirectly, in the surrounding environment. The analysis
addresses growth- inducing impacts in terms of whether the project influences the rate, location, and
the amount of growth. Growth- inducing impacts are assessed based on the project's consistency
with adopted /proposed plans that have addressed growth management from a local and regional
standpoint. Potential growth- inducing impacts from the proposed development will be analyzed as
they relate to population, housing and employment factors.
2.8 ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED ACTION
The range of Alternatives is expected to include the No Project, a reduced design, and one other
Alternative that may be considered through the Project Review process. Pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15126.6, RBF will provide an analysis of a "reasonable range" of alternatives,
comparing environmental impacts of each alternative in each impact area to the project. For each
alternative, RBF will provide a qualitative analysis, which will include traffic (based upon available
data in the Traffic Report), air quality, noise, infrastructure, land use and global climate change.
One important element of the Alternatives section will be an impact matrix which will offer a
comparison of the varying levels of impact of each alternative being analyzed. This matrix will be
prepared in a format to allow decision - makers a reference that will be easily understood, while
providing a calculated (where feasible), accurate comparison of each alternative.

7.0 DESIGN REVIEW SERVICES
RBF has reviewed the draft Specific Plan submittal, site development plan, as well as the City's
Municipal Code. It is noted that the City does not appear to have a formal design review process,
and that the Draft Specific Plan presently does not include robust design guidelines nor does it
include a design review process in its Implementation section. While design guidelines are not a
mandated component of a Specific Plan under California Government Code, for highly visible and /or
prominent projects, the guidelines can provide both the City and developers with guidance during
the development process.
RBF's approach to this task would include the following subtasks:
7,1 MEETINGS /COORDINATION WITH CITY STAFF
Meeting with City staff to discuss and understand City design objectives. RBF staff would include a
policy planner and urban designer. Three staff level meetings are budgeted in this subtask. A total
of 30 hours of staff level meetings are assumed.
7.2 SPECIFIC PLAN AND SITE PLAN REVIEW
Detailed review of the draft Specific Plan and site plan. RBF would review the project using a
number of design staff by discipline, including a brief review of the site design by a land
development engineer, review of landscape elements by one of RBF's landscape architects, and
review of architectural issues by an urban designer. A budget of 46 staff hours are assumed for this
review.
7.3 DESIGN REVIEW MEMORANDUM
Preparation of a design review memorandum. This memorandum will include the following
elements:
Comments on the proposed site plan and landscape concept;
Recommendations for modifications to the draft Specific Plan related to design elements.
This may include specific recommendations for design - related policies and criteria, an

outline of recommended design guidelines section for the Specific Plan document, and
recommendations for a design review process within the Specific Plan to assist staff in the
review of final site plans and architecture.
Meeting with staff to review RBF's recommendations.
Attendance at two (2) Public Hearings (Planning Commission and City Council) to present
the design review recommendations and answer questions.
DELIVERABLES
Meeting notes from meetings with staff and a memorandum (camera -ready and Adobe
Acrobat PDF) of design review comments and recommendations.
Note: RBF's urban design and planning staff can prepare design guidelines for the project under
contract to the City if desired. This would be an optional task, with a scope and fee provided upon
request.
8.0 OPTIONAL TASKS
The following tasks have been included so that the City may consider additional scoping items at
this time. These tasks have not been calculated into the total budget.
8.1 GEOLOGY AND SOILS TECHNICAL REVIEW
As discussed above within Task 2.6c, in the event that no site - specific geotechnical study is
prepared by the Project Applicant in support of the EIR, D. Scott Magorien will undertake an EIR -
level geotechnical investigation that will include the following:
A review of relevant geologic /soils data, color aerial photographs, as well as contacting the
City and County Emergency Management Agency to request records of geotechnical reports
associated with construction of the existing building, and the adjacent developments;
• A review of the most recent grading plan;
• Laboratory testing of soils samples obtained from the exploratory drilling;
• Geotechnical engineering analyses of all data collected /generated during the course of this
study; and
• Preparation of a written EIR -level report addressing geology, soils and seismicity.
The finalized report would be utilized by RBF to support the conclusions within the EIR. The impact
section will provide a description of existing conditions, potential project impacts and hazards, and
applicable mitigation measures, if necessary.
8.2 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TECHNICAL REVIEW
In the event that no hazards material reports /information is made available, (see Task 2.6E), RBF
will prepare a Preliminary Hazardous Materials Assessment (Assessment) for the approximate 143 -
acre Raytheon El Segundo Project Site. The objectives of the Assessment are to: (1) evaluate the
potential for hazardous materials on the site based upon readily discernible and /or documented
present and historic on -site uses and uses immediately adjacent to the site, and (2) generally
characterize the expected nature of hazardous materials that may be present as a result of such

uses, within the limits imposed by the scope of the Assessment. Materials that may constitute a
hazardous waste include, but are not limited to petroleum products, pesticides, organic compounds,
heavy metals, or other compounds injurious to human health and the environment. This
Assessment is not intended to provide specific qualitative or quantitative information as to the actual
presence of hazardous materials at the site, but will identify the potential presence based on
available information.
The purpose of this Assessment is to support the Environmental Documentation for the proposed
project, in general accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This
Assessment is not considered a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and does not satisfy
the requirements for the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice E
1527 -05 or All Appropriate Inquiry. Should the Client require a Phase I ESA for lending purposes or
require the purchase of new property as part of the proposed project, RBF can provide a follow -up
scope of work, as requested.
To achieve the objectives of this Assessment, RBF will conduct this Assessment, in general
accordance with CEQA, to provide preliminary conclusions relative to site conditions. The scope of
this Assessment includes the CEQA Thresholds specifically pertaining to hazardous materials,
which include the following:
Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport,
use, or disposal of hazardous materials;
• Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable
upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the
environment;
Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances
or waste within one - quarter mile of an existing or proposed school; and /or
• Be located on a site included on a list of hazardous material sites compiled pursuant to
Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would create a significant hazard to the
public or the environment.
The Assessment will be designed to document past activities, facilities, and /or waste disposal
practices, which may have resulted in soil or groundwater contamination. Past site usage will be
investigated through an aerial photograph review, interviews, review of former permits, review of
documents on file with applicable agencies, and research of former citations from State and local
agencies. Current site conditions will be documented by an on -site inspection of the project area.
Also, a review of the commercial database summaries, provided by Environmental Data Resources,
Inc. (EDR), regarding public agency records will be included. Regulatory sites within and
surrounding the project area will be mapped within a one -mile radius. Potential hazardous materials
conditions within the project site will be considered based on the EDR database search.
RBF will utilize the above referenced research to analyze potential project - related impacts, as they
pertain to hazardous materials per the CEQA thresholds outlined above. Should a potentially
significant impact arise, RBF will recommend mitigation measures to reduce these impacts to the
extent feasible. RBF will also conclude any significant and unavoidable impacts that may result, if
any.

8.3 OPTIONAL TRAFFIC REVIEW TASK ITEMS
The following optional traffic review task items have been identified, subject to further discussions
with City Staff:
OPTIONAL TASK A: EXISTING PLUS PROJECT
RBF would recommend as an optional task, the addition of an "Existing Plus Project" conditions
analysis scenario in light of the recent Sunnyvale West Neighborhood Assn. v. City of Sunnyvale
City Council, No. H035135 (6th Dist., December 16, 2010) decision; it is important to note the two
largest cities in the metropolitan area, Los Angeles and Long Beach, have recently mandated
inclusion of an "Existing Plus Project" analysis scenario in traffic impact analyses for projects under
their jurisdiction.
OPTIONAL TASK B: ROADWAY SEGMENT COUNTS
RBF will count up to 65 roadway segments during a 24 -hour period on a typical weekday within the
study area defined by the above identified study intersections.
OPTIONAL TASK C: FREEWAY RAMP ANALYSIS
RBF will analyze and document the number of vehicles utilizing the thirteen (13) study area freeway
ramp locations as well as queuing operation of the study area freeway ramps (vehicles waiting to
transition from ramps to freeway segment/surface street), including floating vehicles observations for
a two -hour period in the a.m. and a two -hour period in the p.m. for existing conditions and existing
plus project conditions scenarios.
OPTIONAL TASK D: FREEWAY MAINLINE ANALYSIS
RBF will analyze up to ten (10) freeway mainline segments for mainline density, as well as merge/
diverge for the analysis scenarios.
OPTIONAL TASK E: PARKING ANALYSIS
RBF will prepare a parking analysis to determine whether the parking provided by the proposed
project adequately satisfies City of El Segundo municipal (parking) code. This scope of work does
not preparation of a share parking analysis.
OPTIONAL TASK F: METRO LINE TRANSIT MODE SPLIT ANALYSIS
RBF will derive a mode split trip generation analysis for the proposed project taking into potential site
employee /visitor ridership of the Metro Green Line due to the proximity of the El Segundo Metro
Green Line Station immediately adjacent to the northeast area of the project site. For example, a
survey of existing employees at the project site to determine the proportion of employees currently
utilizing the Metro Green Line could be used determine the proportion of future employees forecast
to utilize the Metro Green Line. Additionally, coordination with MTA staff on available future
ridership projections for the Green Line under its current configuration as well as future southerly
and northerly extensions currently under study could be reflected in the ridership analysis, along with

Charles Marr is a registered Civil Engineer in the State of California with many years of experience in water
r resources engineering. Mr. Marr has provided engineering services for master plans that have included
' domestic water, wastewater, and non domestic water systems for several cities and large residential,
industrial, and commercial developments. These master plans included development of capital improvement
programs for recommended facilities and system sizing to accommodate future development areas. Mr.
Marr has particular expertise in water resources investigations that include analysis of potential water supply
sources and development of future water supply scenarios. These potential water supply sources include
groundwater, imported water, and recycled water. He has also written numerous technical reports consisting
of comprehensive analyses and troubleshooting of wastewater systems.
Relevant Experience:
• Pechanga Indian Reservation Water System Master Plan (Temecula, CA)
• Fontana Southwest Industrial Park (Fontana, CA)
• Highland Fairview Corporate Park (Rancho Belago, CA)
• East Moreno Valley Water and Sewer Systems Evaluation (Moreno Valley, CA)

• Marblehead Coastal Development Water and Sewer Master Plan (Orange County, CA)
• University of California, Irvine (UCI) Campus On -Site Facilities Master Plan (Orange County, CA)
Water Supply Assessments - Mr. Marr and his team have prepared several water supply assessments
(WSA) pursuant to Senate Bill 610 and the California Environmental Quality Act. SB 610 was implemented
in 2002, the reports of which are often included with the environmental documentation required under CEQA.
In general, WSAs rely heavily on the information within the purveying agency's Urban Water Management
Plan (UWMP) and are required for projects that include at least 500 dwelling units or will require the
equivalent amount of water demanded by 500 dwelling units. The goal of the Assessment is to conclude with
a finding that adequate water supply sources are available, or will be available for the Project upon
completion of planned water projects, both now and for the next 20 years. If this cannot be concluded, water
supply is deemed insufficient and could impact the land owner's ability to obtain approvals for the Project.
The SB 610 legislation also requires additional water supply information to be included for all subsequent
Urban Water Management Plans. Among the water purveyors RBF has prepared successful WSAs for
include:
• City of Bakersfield
• City of Chino
• City of Chino Hills
• City of Coachella
• City of Ontario
• City of Tracy
• City of Santa Fe Springs
