Our team would serve as an extension of City staff in updating the element while minimizing demands on City staff. The tasks to be performed in updating the El Segundo Housing Element are outlined below. The deliverable products associated with each task have also been identified. Task 1 - Update Population and Housing Characteristics The population and housing characteristics presented in the current Housing Element will need to be updated to reflect current conditions. This will be accomplished through the use of current information available from various sources regarding the population and housing stock within the City of El Segundo (e.g., the California Department of Housing and Community Development, the California Department of Finance, the California Association of Realtors, Data Quick, and the Los Angeles Times). Deliverable: ✓ Updated Community Profile (Existing Conditions) section of element. Task 2 - Assess Past Housing Achievements Within this mandatory section of the element, the appropriateness of the City's housing goals will be examined. The progress that the City has made in implementing the current element will be evaluated by stating accomplishments over the prior 1998 -2005 planning period. Accomplishments will be documented for rehabilitation, conservation /maintenance, and new construction (production). With regard to housing production, it is our understanding that the City produced 151 total units or 193% of its overall Regional Housing Needs (RHNA) target by 2005. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Progress Toward Achieving Goals section of element. Task 3 - Prepare Inventory of Potential Housing Sites An updated inventory of potential housing sites will be prepared. We will further determine the appropriateness of these sites, particularly in terms of the type and density of housing to be developed. All vacant land (regardless of its zoning) and underutilized sites will be analyzed for their potential to support new housing construction. The number and type of units that could be constructed on each site deemed suitable for residential development will be identified based on zoning and WILLDAN ;s �3 9 2 CITY OF EL SEGUNDO HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE General Plan designations. A map showing the locations of the sites will be prepared, along with an accompanying table of site characteristics. Willdan would generate the potential site inventory in a computerized format, using the City's existing Geographic Information System (GIS). Deliverable: ✓ Updated Analysis of Potential Housing Sites section of element. Task 4 - Update Housing Needs Analysis The housing needs analysis contained in the current Housing Element will be updated. Our staff will consider population and employment trends in updating this analysis and incorporate the 2008 -2014 housing needs estimates for El Segundo generated by the Southern California Association of Governments. The "special needs" discussion that addresses the needs of the elderly, homeless, disabled, and other segments of the population will also be updated. Additionally, the presence of any at -risk housing units in the City will be examined. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Housing Needs section of element. Task 5 - Reexamine Constraints The discussion of constraints on the production, maintenance, and affordability of housing will be updated to reflect current conditions. Our task will be to identify those constraints that may have been eliminated, as well as new ones that may have arisen since the City's current element was last updated in 2001. Both governmental and non- governmental factors that affect the availability and cost of housing will be examined to determine whether they represent actual or potential constraints, if either. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Constraints section of element. Task 6 - Reexamine Housing Programs As the initial effort under this task, the housing goals, objectives and policies contained in the current (2001) General Plan will be reevaluated to determine their continued relevancy. Since these policy statements give direction to the City's housing programs, it is important to determine if they are still indicative of the community's needs and attitudes. In conducting this re- evaluation, it is equally important to recognize the role that El Segundo plays in the context of the Airport/South Bay subregion. The City has become a major employment center in this subregion. The City provides employment WILLDAN s 1 ei vw,: P:, l ;: Ape,: -.r� 9 2 . CITY OF EL SEGUNDO HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE opportunities for residents of many of the surrounding communities as borne out by the fact that its permanent population of approximately 16,000 swells to t 75,000 persons during daytime, business hours. Moreover, unlike its once predominately blue collar, working class roots, the majority of jobs within the City today are white collar, professional positions. After reevaluating these policy statements, the implementation measures discussed in the current element will be reexamined to determine their effectiveness in addressing the City's housing policies. Certain measures discussed in the element may need to be deleted since they have been carried out, or are no longer available. On the other hand, new measures which have not heretofore been utilized by the City may also need to be considered. The measures to be included in the updated element will address: • the identification of adequate sites with appropriate zoning, development standards and public services and facilities to achieve the stated housing goals and objectives; • the adequate provision of housing for all economic segments of the community; • the removal of governmental and non- governmental constraints, where possible; • the conservation and improvement of the City's existing affordable housing stock, including the preservation or replacement of any at -risk housing; and, • the continued accessibility to decent housing for all persons. Finally, the City's 5 -year Housing Action Plan will be updated. The Plan will be extended to cover the coming planning period (2008 -2014) and revised to reflect the new mix of measures previously determined in this task. Anticipated accomplishments will be quantified and actions will be programmed in order to facilitate their implementation. The agency responsible for carrying out each action, as well as the associated time frame and potential funding source(s) will be identified. The priorities for allocating the City's limited resources will also be identified. In addressing the identification of adequate sites with appropriate zoning and development standards, Willdan will recommend any Land Use Element amendments, rezonings, or other zoning ordinance revisions that may be required in order to achieve the City's anticipated housing accomplishments and /or comply with State planning and zoning laws, including housing element law. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Housing Program section of element. WILLDAN s ;rnu.�: "�:::.: :,fir •..re r,� .� •ilR� Afillk CITY OF EL SEGUNDO HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE Task 7 - Reexamine Opportunities for Energy Conservation in New Residential Development In this final task, ways in which energy consumption can be minimized through the siting, design, and construction of housing will be examined. The energy conservation measures identified in the current element will be modified or expanded, as necessary. In carrying out this task, the pertinent requirements of the California Government and Administrative Codes, the energy conservation programs offered by local utility companies, and other measures or programs that could be initiated by the City will be discussed. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Opportunities for Energy Conservation section of element. Task 8 — Prepare Environmental Initial Study Checklist/Negative Declaration Willdan will prepare an Administrative Draft Initial Study /Negative Declaration (IS /ND) for the Housing Element update for City staff review. Much of the information to be included in this IS /ND will be taken from the City's General Plan EIR and other available sources. The IS /ND will be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Upon receiving comments from City staff, a Draft IS /ND will be prepared for public circulation and comment, as well as the requisite Notice of Availability. Willdan staff will also handle the distribution of the IS /ND in accordance with CEQA requirements. Finally, Willdan will prepare the final IS /ND, including any responses to comments received on the draft document, and the requisite Notice of Determination. Deliverables: ✓ Administrative Draft Initial Study /Negative Declaration (five (5) bound copies and electronic copy on CD). ✓ Draft Initial Study /Negative Declaration (reproducible master, ten (10) bound copies and electronic copy on CD). ✓ Final Initial Study /Negative Declaration with Response to Comments (reproducible master and electronic copy on CD). Task 9 - Prepare Administrative Draft of the Housing Element The work products of the preceding tasks will be compiled into an administrative draft of the Housing Element for review and comment by City staff. This administrative draft element will also be available for review by the public at joint Planning Commission and City Council Committee study sessions.

This proposal is being submitted pursuant to your request and is based on our extensive experience in preparing and updating housing elements. We believe that the project team we have assembled is particularly well qualified to assist you in preparing the Housing Element Update for the following reasons: The personnel assembled for this assignment have considerable experience in preparing housing elements and housing element updates for cities across California. Willdan has most recently prepared Housing Element updates for the Cities of Calexico, Calimesa, La Habra, La Mirada, La Puente, Los Alamitos, Simi Valley, and Westlake Village, and the Town of Apple Valley that have been certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Our team will be sensitive to the need to prepare a housing element that addresses the regional housing needs allocation, as well as local housing needs and conditions. Both of the key planners assigned to the project, Mr. Albert V. Warot and Mr. Dean C. Sherer, AICP, have had extensive experience in preparing housing element updates and have conducted negotiations on behalf of client agencies with HCD. Our staff is able to place an emphasis on realistic, implementable housing programs. Our team has formulated and, more importantly, carried out a wide variety of housing programs using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Building Equity and Growth In Neighborhoods (BEGIN), Tax Credit, Section 8, Redevelopment Agency, CalHome, and other funding sources. The project team assembled by Willdan, consisting entirely of in -house staff, is prepared to commence work on July 1, 2007 in providing the services requested by the City, and complete the preparation, adoption, and submittal of the updated element to HCD by May 31, 2008. 3892 June 15, 2007 Page 2 The City's current Housing Element was adopted in 2001 and the City produced 151 total housing units (193 %) of its overall Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) target by 2005. As indicated in the City's Request for Proposal (RFP), the draft RHNA allocation for the City of El Segundo for the 2008 -2014 planning period is 168 total housing units. While it is true that the City has progressively provided for the housing needs of its citizens in the past, this new housing obligation will represent a further challenge to the City to provide housing at various levels_ of affordability in an area which is largely built out. The Housing Element, therefore, needs to respond to this challenge by providing more creative and unique ways to increase the community's housing supply without undermining the quality and livability of residential districts in the City. Working as an extension of City staff, Willdan will review the current Housing Element, revise population and demographic data, and analyze constraints to housing development. Willdan will also incorporate into the revised Housing Element the housing needs determination for El Segundo generated by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). We will also consult with HCD to ensure that the City receives credit for all new housing constructed within the City since 2006, which is the starting date of the period covered by the new housing needs allocation. In addition, Willdan will research City records for past planning approvals and building permits which have contributed to the City's production of housing, while also examining current applications for their potential impact on the local housing supply. Willdan will also analyze the City's inventory of vacant/underutilized land to determine the availability of potential sites suitable for housing development, and assist the City in revising its housing goals, objectives, and policies to respond to current conditions and applicable legislative requirements. We believe that the services we are offering will fulfill the City's needs in a comprehensive, well - integrated, and cost - effective manner. We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and stand ready to proceed with the services requested upon your authorization. The contact person for this proposal is: Mr. Albert V.

WILLDAN Sovmp Pubkc Agonies 38 92 . • CIT A DO s, HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE The updated element must comply with the applicable requirements of the California Government Code, Health and Safety Code, and General Plan Guidelines, and ultimately be certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) as complying with State housing law. The key elements of the work involved in updating the Housing Element include: • compilation, research, and analysis of population and housing data to determine housing needs; • preparation of a draft element that documents the identified needs, as well as the resources and anticipated actions to address those needs; • preparation of property owner lists and labels as well as notices (including display ads) for public hearings and workshops; • preparation of documentation to clear the updated element under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); • preparation of staff reports and exhibits for Planning Commission and City Council public hearings, and public workshops; • attendance at Planning Commission /City Council meetings to obtain their input and approval of the updated element; • coordinating the review and negotiating the certification of the updated element with HCD; and, • coordinating the successful completion of all of the above work items with El Segundo City staff. Staff will be available to immediately begin work on this assignment by mid -July 2007. The work program would be carried out over a 10' /z -month period, thereby enabling the City to submit the adopted, updated element to HCD by June 1, 2008. All work on the Housing Element Update will be performed at Willdan's Los Angeles Regional office, which is conveniently located in the City of Industry. A more complete project schedule is discussed under "Project Schedule." We will rely upon input and assistance from City staff in order to minimize our costs recognizing, however, that your availability is limited. In this regard, staff involvement would be limited to: 1. providing previously prepared reports and other readily available information that could assist in updating the Housing Element, such as the City's land use inventory, zoning map and ordinance, General Plan, and Local Coastal Program; WILLDAN 2 Serving Public Agencies 3892 *C" O GUNDO HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE 2. furnishing a digitized City base map and accompanying parcel (i.e., Assessor's office) information in a Geographic Information System (GIS) format; 3. scheduling public meetings /hearings; 4. conferring with our staff on the drafting of policy statements; and, 5. reviewing and commenting on draft reports in a timely fashion.

CiT1 OF UNDO HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE Willdan's approach to carrying out all assignments emphasizes the role of a strong project manager to coordinate all activities and participants. Each project is assigned to a senior member of our staff who leads a multidisciplined team assembled from our technical staff. Experience in the type of job, knowledge of the study area, and availability to support the required schedule are primary considerations in the selection of a project manager, as well as the selection of the supporting team members.

The work schedules and availability of these team members will allow for the completion of a draft document within the stipulated timeframe. The number of hours assigned to each project team member to complete each task of the proposed work plan are included in the "Fee Schedule." Typically, however, each task may take from 8 to 32 hours to complete, with time distributed among two Senior Planners (Carter and Bellas), an Assistant Planner (Holliday), and a Principal Planner ( Sherer). Time devoted to the project by the Manager of Planning Services ( Warot) is primarily for the review of and input on the City's housing programs and quantified objectives, coordination with HCD, and attendance at City staff meetings, community workshops and Planning Commission /City Council meetings /hearings. Ms. Trayci Nelson, Senior Planner, who is currently assisting the City with project entitlement review services, and will be available to help coordinate the preparation of the Housing Element between the City and Willdan staff.

WILLDAN 17 SIK e%PUhhCAW41ft HoUSING ELEMENT UPDATE SCOPE OF WORK Willdan's approach to updating the City's Housing Element will be to assign a highly qualified team to perform the required work under the direction of our Vice President in charge of Planning Services. Our team would serve as an extension of City staff in updating the element while minimizing demands on City staff. The tasks to be performed in updating the El Segundo Housing Element are outlined below. The deliverable products associated with each task have also been identified. Task 1 - Update Population and Housing Characteristics The population and housing characteristics presented in the current Housing Element will need to be updated to reflect current conditions. This will be accomplished through the use of current information available from various sources regarding the population and housing stock within the City of El Segundo (e.g., the California Department of Housing and Community Development, the California Department of Finance, the California Association of Realtors, Data Quick, and the Los Angeles Times). Deliverable: ✓ Updated Community Profile (Existing Conditions) section of element. Task 2- Assess Past Housing Achievements Within this mandatory section of the element, the appropriateness of the City's housing goals will be examined. The progress that the City has made in implementing the current element will be evaluated by stating accomplishments over the prior 1998 -2005 planning period. Accomplishments will be documented for rehabilitation, conservation /maintenance, and new construction (production). With regard to housing production, it is our understanding that the City produced 151 total units or 193% of its overall Regional Housing Needs (RHNA) target by 2005. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Progress Toward Achieving Goals section of element. Task 3 - Prepare 3 - Prepare Invento�of Potential HousinaSitesPotential HousinaSites An updated inventory of potential housing sites will be prepared. We will further determine the appropriateness of these sites, particularly in terms of the type and density of housing to be developed. All vacant land (regardless of its zoning) and underutilized sites will be analyzed for their potential to support new housing construction. The number and type of units that could be constructed on each site deemed suitable for residential development WILLDAN 18 Sewing Pubic Age(ties 3892 . • •' CA OF EL SEGUND HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE will be identified based on zoning and General Plan designations. A map showing the locations of the sites will be prepared, along with an accompanying table of site characteristics. Willdan would generate the potential site inventory in a computerized format, using the City's existing Geographic Information System (GIS). Deliverable: ✓ Updated Analysis of Potential Housing Sites section of element. Task 4 - Update Housing Needs Analysis The housing needs analysis contained in the current Housing Element will be updated. Our staff will consider population and employment trends in updating this analysis and incorporate the 2008 -2014 housing needs estimates for El Segundo generated by the Southern California Association of Governments. The "special needs" discussion that addresses the needs of the elderly, homeless, disabled, and other segments of the population will also be updated. Additionally, the presence of any at -risk housing units in the City will be examined. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Housing Needs section of element. Task 5 - Reexamine Constraints The discussion of constraints on the production, maintenance, and affordability of housing will be updated to reflect current conditions. Our task will be to identify those constraints that may have been eliminated, as well as new ones that may have arisen since the City's current element was last updated in 2001. Both governmental and non - governmental factors that affect the availability and cost of housing will be examined to determine whether they represent actual or potential constraints, if either. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Constraints section of element. Task 6 - Reexamine Housing Programs As the initial effort under this task, the housing goals, objectives and policies contained in the current (2001) General Plan will be reevaluated to determine their continued relevancy. Since these policy statements give direction to the City's housing programs, it is important to determine if they are still indicative of the community's needs and attitudes. In conducting this re- evaluation, it is equally important to recognize the role that El Segundo plays in the context of the Airport/South Bay subregion. The City has become a major WILLDAN 19 Serving Public Agencies 3 8 9 2 •.i .:.1 • CITY OF EL SEGUNDO HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE a- employment center in this subregion. The City provides employment opportunities for residents of many of the surrounding communities as borne out by the fact that its permanent population of approximately 16,000 swells to t 75,000 persons during daytime, business hours. Moreover, unlike its once predominately blue collar, working class roots, the majority of jobs within the City today are white collar, professional positions. After reevaluating these policy statements, the implementation measures discussed in the current element will be reexamined to determine their effectiveness in addressing the City's housing policies. Certain measures discussed in the element may need to be deleted since they have been carried out, or are no longer available. On the other hand, new measures which have not heretofore been utilized by the City may also need to be considered. The measures to be included in the updated element will address: • the identification of adequate sites with appropriate zoning, development standards and public services and facilities to achieve the stated housing goals and objectives; • the adequate provision of housing for all economic segments of the community; • the removal of governmental and non - governmental constraints, where possible; • the conservation and improvement of the City's existing affordable housing stock, including the preservation or replacement of any at -risk housing; and, • the continued accessibility to decent housing for all persons. Finally, the City's 5 -year Housing Action Plan will be updated. The Plan will be extended to cover the coming planning period (2008 -2014) and revised to reflect the new mix of measures previously determined in this task. Anticipated accomplishments will be quantified and actions will be programmed in order to facilitate their implementation. The agency responsible for carrying out each action, as well as the associated time frame and potential funding source(s) will be identified. The priorities for allocating the City's limited resources will also be identified. In addressing the identification of adequate sites with appropriate zoning and development standards, Willdan will recommend any Land Use Element amendments, rezonings, or other zoning ordinance revisions that may be required in order to achieve the City's anticipated housing accomplishments and /or comply with State planning and zoning laws, including housing element law. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Housing Program section of element. WILLDAN 20 Se"nng PUenc Apenc*s 3892., CITY ftSEGU' OF HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE r Task 7 - Reexamine Opportunities for Energy Conservation in New Residential Development In this final task, ways in which energy consumption can be minimized through the siting, design, and construction of housing will be examined. The energy conservation measures identified in the current element will be modified or expanded, as necessary. In carrying out this task, the pertinent requirements of the California Government and Administrative Codes, the energy conservation programs offered by local utility companies, and other measures or programs that could be initiated by the City will be discussed. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Opportunities for Energy Conservation section of element. Task 8 - Prepare Administrative Draft of the Housing Element The work products of the preceding tasks will be compiled into an administrative draft of the Housing Element for review and comment by City staff. This administrative draft element will also be reviewed by the public at Planning Commission and City Council Committee study sessions, and a community workshop. It would be appropriate to obtain preliminary Planning Commission and City Council approval of the updated element for submittal to HCD at this time. Our staff will participate in and help to conduct these study sessions. Deliverables: ✓ Administrative draft of updated Community Profile /Existing Conditions Report (6 copies) ✓ Complete administrative draft of the updated element (6 bound copies and electronic copy on CD). Task 9 — Prepare Environmental Initial Study Checklist/Neoative Declaration Willdan will prepare an Administrative Draft Initial Study /Negative Declaration (IS /ND) for the Housing Element update for City staff review. Much of the information to be included in this IS /ND will be taken from the City's General Plan EIR and other available sources. The IS /ND will be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Upon receiving comments from City staff, a Draft IS /ND will be prepared for public circulation and comment, as well as the requisite Notice of Availability. Willdan staff will also handle the distribution of the IS /ND in accordance with CEQA requirements.

Task 13 — Attendance at Workshops and Public Meetings /Hearings Staff from Willdan will attend study sessions, meetings, and hearings with the Planning Commission and City Council on the Housing Element update, as well as community workshops. For fee estimation purposes, we have assumed that our attendance will be required at up to six (6) public meetings /hearings. Our staff will prepare PowerPoint presentations for all public meetings /hearings. Task 14 — Proiect Management, Coordination, and Direction This task provides for oversight of the work effort, as described in the preceding tasks, by the Project Manager /Assistant Project Manager. As part of this task, the City will be given monthly progress reports on the status of the element update. This task also includes attendance of our Project Manager /Assistant Project Manager at up to 12 monthly meetings with City staff. WILLDAN 23 Smvmp Pubi-c Agencue PROJECT SCHEDULE 3892.,, TY • OF L EGUN O HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE Once an authorization to proceed is given by the City, our Project Manager and Assistant Project Manager will attend a project kick -off meeting with El Segundo staff. The purpose of this meeting will be to obtain a copy of the City's current General Plan, Zoning Map, any available land use /vacant land data, and GIS mapping file(s) and accompanying parcel information database. The outline and format for the updated element will also be finalized at that meeting. The tasks associated with updating the element would be carried out over the course of 10Y2 months. The tentative time schedule is graphically depicted on the following page. Once the administrative draft of the document is completed, our Project Manager will meet with City staff to obtain and review their comments. A public review document will subsequently be prepared for public distribution and comment. In addition to three (3) public hearings, we have included attendance at Planning Commission and City Council study sessions, and a community workshop during the review and processing of the draft and final documents. We propose that attendance at any additional public meetings be billed to the City on a per meeting basis. Willdan will prepare the final element in response to comments received from the public, local decision - making bodies, and HCD and, as discussed above, will attend the required public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council. It should also be pointed out that our schedule allows for Planning Commission /City Council review and preliminary approval of the updated element prior to submittal to HCD for its 60 -day review. Our schedule also allows time for our staff to solicit written confirmation from HCD, prior to Planning Commission and City Council hearings, that the final element is certifiable as complying with State law.

We have direct experience in identifying and analyzing potential housing sites, assessing local housing needs, and updating a number of housing elements. We have also had recent experience in conducting surveys and analyses of existing housing needs and conditions and quantifying changes in housing quality and affordability. The cities we have served have varied widely in terms of size, geographic locale, and local housing issues. Over the past 15 years, the firm has conducted surveys and analyses in support of housing element updates and /or prepared updated housing elements for numerous California cities, including most recently the Cities of Calimesa, Chino, Clearlake, Orinda, Oroville, Simi Valley, and Westlake Village. These surveys have included preparing detailed inventories of multiple family projects, including market -rate housing, Section 8 housing, and other government- owned, or subsidized housing. Willdan has also researched and prepared housing implementation strategies to assist communities in meeting their quantified housing element objectives and community goals for desired types of housing. In addition to our experience in conducting housing studies, Willdan has extensive experience in preparing a variety of GIS -based community needs studies and providing a variety of community development services to agencies across California. We have administered all aspects of the CDBG and HOME programs for municipalities and are operating CDBG or redevelopment tax increment funded residential and /or commercial rehabilitation programs in a number of cities. Our community development staff has procured grants for residential rehabilitation, economic development and public works /community facility projects and has formulated and /or implemented revitalization strategies for downtown areas in small communities.
