The developer, 612 Twin Holdings LLC, also intends to construct approximately 7,000 square
feet of new retail on Grand Avenue and anticipates leasing the existing grocery store building
to Cooke's Family Market for a minimum often years In the event Cooke's does not execute
a lease with the owner, the City will have no obligation to take possession of the parking
spaces unless the market is leased to first class, full service grocery supermarket for a ten
year term and the City has approved of the operator The remaining 76 stalls in the parking
structure would be used to meet the parking requirements of the market and retail
development The developer would pay the cost of constructing those 76 parking stalls The
City and 612 Twin Holdings, LLC would pay pro rata costs of operating and maintaining the
parking facility, including such costs as personnel costs, janitorial services, repairs, insurance
(including deductibles), utilities, landscaping, property taxes (to the extent such are imposed),
etc Those costs have been estimated at $25,000 /annum If revenues from future parking fees
related to the City's spaces do not cover the annual payment, general fund resources
(Including the Economic Development Division's advertising /publishing account) will be utilized
A program such as a Parking Business Improvement District (PBID) is currently under
consideration that would generate revenue from parking demand resulting from the addition of
second stories and new restaurants, for example Until such a program is formalized, the exact
amount of revenue generated from new development is unknown.
The term of the proposed lease Is 34 years and the City has the option to purchase the
parking structure near the end of the lease term for $200,000 In addition to operating costs,
the costs associated with the lease include a one -time lease payment, not to exceed
$1,100,000 or $11,000 /space, for the construction of the city's 100 parking spaces, and an
annual lease payment of $194,000 for the 34 year lease term for a combined total of
$7,696,000
Staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA No 581) attached as Exhibit A, which
contains a full description of the proposed structures and an evaluation of the environmental
Impacts Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the draft resolution approving a
Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts for the construction of the proposed
project and the leasing of parking spaces within the proposed parking structure by the City of

111. Analysis
Site Description and Surrounding Land Uses
The project site is currently developed with a one -story, 16,580 square foot
commercial building that was most recently occupied by a Ralph's Grocery store
The building has been vacant for approximately three years A surface parking lot
with access from Richmond Street, Grand Avenue and an alley on the west side
of the property occupy the rest of the site The property slopes down from south
to north with a grade change of approximately seven feet.
The proposed project site is generally surrounded by commercial and retail uses
The areas located to the south, east and north of the proposed project site are
comprised of low -rise commercial buildings with minimal landscaping. Directly
across the alley to the west are older one -and two -story retail buildings To the
south across Grand Avenue are two -story buildings containing a hotel and retail
uses Farther to the south is the historic Richmond Street district, which contains
many of the original brick buildings in the downtown area. To the west across
Richmond Street are several one -story retail buildings and apartment buildings
To the north of the project site is an apartment building and condominium
development
Surrounding land uses are as described in the following table

The GAD permits general retail uses The parking structure is considered as an
accessory use providing the required on -site parking for the existing retail
budding and the proposed retail building The City would lease extra parking
spaces being designed into the garage structure This project will meet all
development regulation and standards required for development in the GAD
The City may sublease parking spaces in the new garage to downtown business
owners and make general public parking available to the downtown area
Additionally, property owners in the downtown area may also be permitted to
locate their required on -site parking for future developments in the proposed
parking structure in lieu of providing the parking on their own properties. This
arrangement may lead to additional development in the downtown area that
would not occur without the proposed lease of 100 parking spaces in the new
garage This potential additional development in downtown would still be required
to comply with all other development standards for new construction, including
maximum densities As a result the potential provision of off -site parking to meet
on -site parking requirements by the City would not increase the density permitted
in the Downtown area The construction of a parking structure to serve downtown
was envisioned in the implementation and financing chapter of the Downtown
Specific Plan as a long -term solution to parking demand in the downtown area.
Therefore, the lease of parking by the City for future use as required parking for
other potential development would conform to the development guidelines in the
Downtown Specific Plan.
IV. Inter - Departmental Comments
The project plans, were circulated to all inter- departmental staff and comments
were received from the Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments and the
Building Safety Division The Police Department provided recommendations for
lighting and security features These comments have been incorporated into the
draft resolution as conditions of approval The Fire Department commented on the
fire access being from the east and west sides of the new structure and that fire
sprinklers would not be required in the parking structure if it is an "open" parking
garage The Fire Department also commented that Class III standpipes would be
required if the structure is four levels These comments have been incorporated into
the draft resolution as conditions of approval
The Public Works Department commented on the need for a traffic analysis,
relocation of a bus shelter on Grand Avenue, and the need to repair damaged
sidewalk and alley pavement The City's traffic engineer consultant prepared trip
generation estimates for the project, which indicate that the traffic from the
proposed addition of 7,000 square feet of new commercial uses would not generate
enough traffic to impact adjacent streets Staff has incorporated the bus shelter
comment and pavement repair comments into the conditions of approval The
Budding Safety Division commented that a geotechrncal report is required to
0
i A
mitigate potential seismic ground shaking Impacts. Mitigation Measure No 3 has
been Incorporated Into the conditions of approval to require the submittal of a
geotechnical report
V. Environmental Review
A Draft Initial Study (Exhibit B) was prepared by staff for the project No significant
adverse environmental Impacts were identified which could not be mitigated to an
Insignificant level, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts
is proposed The Draft Initial Study was circulated for Inter - departmental review and
comments, as required by City Council Resolution No. 3805 and State CEQA
guidelines A Revised Draft Initial Study was prepared which incorporated
additional evaluation by the City's traffic engineer consultant on the potential traffic
impacts and comments from the Building Safety Division All departments have
concurred with the staff recommendation to approve a Mitigated Negative
Declaration of Environmental Impact
VI. Conclusion
Based on the analysis contained In this report, staff recommends that the City
Council adopt Draft Resolution No , subject to the conditions contained
therein

A The zoning designation for the property is Grand Avenue District (GAD). The
General Plan Land Use designation of Downtown Specific Plan is consistent with
the zoning designations,
B The GAD permits, among other things, general retail and restaurant uses. The
parking structure is considered as an accessory use providing the required on-
site parking for the existing retail budding and the proposed commercial budding
The City would lease 100 extra parking spaces being designed into the garage
structure
C The construction of a parking structure to serve downtown was envisioned in the
implementation and financing chapter of the Downtown Specific Plan as a long-
term solution to parking demand in the downtown area. Therefore, the lease of
parking by the City for future use as required parking for other potential
development would conform to the development guidelines in the Downtown
Specific Plan

Description of Project: (Describe the whole action involved, including but not limited to later
phases of the project, and any secondary, support, or off -site features necessary for its
implementation Attach additional sheets if necessary)
A developer, 612 Twin Holdings LLC, is proposing to construct a structure consisting of a one -
story 7,000 square foot retail building and a 2 5 level parking garage with 176 parking spaces
The proposed structure would be located on an existing surface parking lot The parking
structure would provide 76 parking spaces for the required parking for the new retail building
and an existing vacant 16,530 square foot former grocery store budding on the property
Additionally, the City of El Segundo would lease 100 parking spaces in the structure for public
parking for the downtown area of El Segundo A term of 34 years is proposed for the lease with
the City The City would have the option to purchase the parking structure near the end of the
term of the lease
The proposed parking structure would be approximately 27 feet tall at the northernmost portion
facing the vacant grocery store building A portion of the structure facing Grand Avenue would
have a second level above the new retail 7,000 square foot retail structure The height of the
structure along Grand Avenue would be approximately 17 feet. Access to the lower level of the
structure would be from Richmond Street and access to the upper levels would be from Grand
25
Avenue The structure would be set approximately 20 feet from the face of the existing retail
budding The project is located in the Grand Avenue District of the Downtown Specific Plan
area
Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: (Briefly describe the project's surroundings)
The project site is currently developed with a one -story, 16,580 square foot commercial budding
that was most recently occupied by a Ralph's Grocery store The budding has been vacant for
approximately three years A surface parking lot with access from Richmond Street, Grand
Avenue and an alley on the west side of the property occupy the rest of the site The property
slopes down from south to north with a grade change of approximately seven feet
The proposed protect site is generally surrounded by commercial and retail uses The areas
located to the south, east and north of the proposed project site is composed of low -rise
commercial buildings with minimal landscaping Directly across the alley to the west are older
one -and two -story retail buildings To the south across Grand Avenue are two -story buildings
containing a hotel and retail uses Farther to the south is the historic Richmond Street district,
which contains many of the original brick buildings in the downtown area. To the west across
Richmond Street are several one -story retail buildings and apartment buildings. To the north of
the protect site is an apartment building and condominium development

IV. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the
information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question A "No Impact" answeris
adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects
like the one involved (e g the project falls outside a fault rupture zone) A "No Impact" answer should be
explained where it is based on project - specific factors as well as general standards (e g the project will not
expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project - specific screening analysis)
2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on -site, cumulative as
well as project - level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers
must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than
significant "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect maybe
significant if there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an
EIR is required
4) "Negative Declaration Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of
mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Significant Impact."
The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less
than significant level (mitigation measures from Section 17, "Earlier Analysis," may be cross - referenced)
5) Earlier analysis may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has
been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration Section 15063 (c) (3) (d) In this case, a
brief discussion should identify the following
(a) Earlier Analysis Used Identify and state where they are available for review
(b) Impacts Adequately Addressed Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of
and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state
whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis
(c) Mitigation Measures For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated,"
describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the
extent to which they address site - specific conditions for the project
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential
impacts (e g general plans, zoning ordinances) Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should,
where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated
7) Supporting Information Sources A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals
contacted should be cited in the discussion
8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats, however, lead agencies should
normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in
whatever format is selected
g) The analysis of each issue should identify (a) the significance criteria or threshold used to evaluate each
question, and (b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance

highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site
X
and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely
X
affect day or nighttime views in the area?
A project- related significant adverse effect could occur if the project were to Introduce Incompatible visual elements within
a field of view containing a scenic vista However, the proposed project site is located in a developed commercial area
within the City of El Segundo No scenic vistas currently exist in this area No Impacts related to scenic vistas would
occur
A project- related significant adverse effect could occur if the project were to Introduce Incompatible visual elements on the
project site or visual elements which would be Incompatible with the character of the area surrounding the project site
The proposed project replaces the existing surface parking lot with a retail building and parking structure with a maximum
height of 27 feet The proposed project would be located In an area of the City of El Segundo characterized by similar,
predominantly commercial, land uses, along with similar building height and mass The proposed project would be
visually compatible with the appearance of the downtown area No impacts related to visual compatibility would occur
A project- related significant adverse effect could occur if the project were to Introduce new sources of light or glare on the
• ,iiect site which would be incompatible with the areas surrounding the project site or which would pose a safety hazard
otonsts utilizing adjacent streets The existing lighting for the surface parking lot would be removed and replaced with
a parking structure, which would include lighting within the structure Such lighting would be less likely to create offsite
glare than the existing light sources on the property In addition, although traffic levels would increase somewhat under
the proposed project, increased light generation from headlights would likely not be perceptible because of existing low
volume of traffic expected from the project Under the proposed project, existing levels of light and glare generation would
not be expected to change substantially from current conditions No new hazards from lighting or glare would be
introduced Impacts would be less than significant
No mitigation is required
2. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant
I environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment
Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts
on agriculture and farmland Would the project?
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide
Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to X
the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California
Resources Agency to non - agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act
contract? X
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their
location or nature, could result In conversion of Farmland, to non- X
agricultural use?

"Important Farmland " The Extent of Important Farmland Map Coverage maintained by the Division of Land Protection
Indicates that the project site is not Included In the Important Farmland category ' The proposed project site has been
developed for its current office uses since 1965 The project site is located In a developed commercial corridor in the City
of El Segundo and does not Include any state - designated agricultural lands No impact on farmland or agricultural
resources would occur The proposed project is located in the Grand Avenue District (GAD) Therefore, it will not convert
any farmland or otherwise affect any farmland There Is no Williamson Act contracted land in the City of El Segundo
3 AIR QUALITY Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air
pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations Would the project
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality
plan?
X
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing
or projected air quality violation
X
C) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria
pollutant for which the project region is non - attainment under an
applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including
X
releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
X
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?

significant Impact may occur if the project is not consistent with the applicable Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) or
would in some way represent a substantial hindrance to employing the policies or obtaining the goals of that plan The
City of El Segundo is located on the western edge of the South Coast Air Basin (Basin), within the jurisdiction of the South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) SCAQMD has adopted criteria for consistency with regional plans
and the regional AQMP in its CEQA Air Quality Handbook (Handbook) These include 1) identifying whether the project
I would increase frequency or severity of existing air quality violations or cause or contribute to new air quality violations,
and 2) identifying whether the project would exceed the assumptions utilized in preparing the AQMP A significant impact
may occur if a project is inconsistent with the growth assumptions upon which the regional AQMP was based The most
current version of the AQMP was adopted in 1997 and was based upon population, housing and employment growth
projections adopted by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
The proposed project consists of approximately 7,000 square feet of retail space The proposed project site would result
in employment growth within a plan - designated Downtown Specific Plan area (see Section 12) The SCAG projections for
the City of El Segundo are based upon adopted City plans, and the proposed project is consistent with adopted City
plans Therefore, the project- generated employment would be within SCAG and AQMP growth projections for the area
The proposed project thus would not be in conflict with nor would it obstruct implementation of the 1997 AQMP The
project would have a less than significant impact with regard to air quality plans
A significant effect related to air quality could occur if the proposed project were to generate air emissions during
construction or operations that could affect sensitive receptors The South Coast Air Quality Management District
(SCAQMD), in its CEQA Air Quality Handbook (SCAQMD Handbook), has established screening thresholds for
determining whether a project has the potential to result in significant air quality impacts According to Table 6 -2 of the
SCAQMD Handbook, a potentially significant air quality impact may occur if a commercial shopping center is larger than
22,000 square feet Since the proposed project would include a retail building which would total approximately 7,000
Square feet, no significant air quality impacts related to operation of the proposed project would occur According to Table
of the SCAQMD Handbook, a potentially significant construction air quality impact could occur if a shopping center
act is larger than 975,000 square feet Since the proposed project would be smaller than these thresholds, no
significant impacts related to construction air quality would occur Air quality impacts of the proposed project would be
below SCAQMD significance thresholds and would be less than significant
A significant impact related to air movement, moisture, or temperature, or climatic change would occur only if the
proposed project were of sufficient size, and included activities or processes that resulted in temperature or humidity
changes, that could potentially result in the creation of a "micro - climate" that would have the potential to result in larger
scale climatic changes The proposed project consists of urban development that does not include activities or processes
I that would have the potential to produce such effects No impact would occur
i A project- related significant adverse effect could occur if construction or operation of the project would result in generation
of odors, which would be perceptible in adjacent sensitive areas The proposed project would consist of urban
development that does not include activities or processes that would generate substantial odors Moreover, no sensitive
uses are presently located adjacent to the existing use No impact would occur

gnificant impact may occur if grading or excavation activities associated with the proposed project would disturb
paleontological resources or geologic features which presently exist within the project site No unique geologic features
currently exist within the project site, which has been previously disturbed through its construction as a surface parking lot
Limited grading would be associated for the construction of the proposed project No impacts to paleontological
resources would occur
While there is no evidence that paleontological resources are located on the project site, there is still the possibility that
the construction phase of the proposed office building could encounter paleontological resources, which in turn could
result in potentially significant paleontological resource impacts However, provided the mitigation measure listed below is
implemented, the project would not have any potential to cause a substantial adverse change in significant paleontological
resources
A significant impact may occur if grading or excavation activities associated with the proposed project would disturb
archaeological resources or geologic features which presently exist within the project site No unique geologic features
currently exist within the project site, which has been previously disturbed through its construction as an office building
and surface parking lot While there is no evidence that archaeological resources are located on the project site, there is
still the possibility that the construction phase of the project office building could encounter archaeological resources,
which in turn could result in potentially significant archaeological resources impacts However, provided the mitigation
measure listed below is implemented, the proposed project would not have any potential to cause a substantial adverse
change in significant archaeological resources
Section 15064 5 of the State CEQA Guidelines defines an historical resource as (1) a resource listed in or determined to
be eligible by the State Historical Resources Commission, for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, (2)
a resource listed in a local register of historical resources or identified as significant in an historical resource survey
meeting certain state guidelines, or (3) an object, building, structure, site, area, place, record or manuscript which a lead
-ncy determines to be significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social,
cal, military or cultural annals of California, provided that the lead agency's determination is supported by substantial
evidence in light of the whole record A project- related significant adverse effect could occur if the proposed project would
adversely affect an historical resource meeting one of these definitions Currently the proposed project site is developed

existing structure has never contributed to the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational,
social, political, military or cultural annals of California The project would thus not have any potential to affect significant
historical resources as defined In Section 15064 5
A significant Impact may occur if a proposed project was located In an area where it could cause a physical change, which
would affect a unique ethnic community or culture The proposed project site is located in an urbanized area of the City of
El Segundo, which does not have cultural or ethnic significance No impacts would occur
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project was located in an area where it could Impact religious or sacred uses
The proposed project site is located in an urbanized area of the City of El Segundo, which does not have religious or

an acceptable level, thus, the proposed project will have a less than significant Impact with regard to fault rupture
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project represents an increased risk to public safety or destruction of
property by exposing people, property or infrastructure to seismically induced ground shaking hazards that are greater
than the average risk associated with locations In the Southern California region As with all properties In the seismically
active Southern California region, the project site is susceptible to ground shaking during a seismic event Potential
impacts from seismic ground shaking are present throughout Southern California and would be of comparable intensity at
the project site as it would be for large parts of the City of El Segundo and the region The project will be required to
comply with existing codes which reduce seismic risks to an acceptable level, thus, the proposed project will have a less
than significant impact with regard to seismic ground shaking Additionally, through the imposition of the mitigation
measure described below, the proposed project would be constructed in compliance with a Geotechnical Report, which
would evaluate the soil conditions, and ensure that the structure would be designed to accommodate the soil conditions
on the site With mitigation, impacts would be less than significant
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project is located In an area identified as having a high risk of liquefaction
and mitigation measures required within such designated areas are not incorporated into the project Liquefaction is a
condition where the soil undergoes continued deformation at a constant low residual stress due to the build -up of high
porewater pressures The possibility of liquefaction occurring at a given site is dependant upon the occurrence of a
significant earthquake in the vicinity, sufficient groundwater to cause high pore pressures, and on the grain size, relative
density, and confining pressures of the soil at the site The regional groundwater is approximately 110 feet below ground
surface in the vicinity of the proposed project site The proposed project site is located in a zone of the City that is
considered to have a low potential for liquefaction based upon on -site soil types and topographic and subsurface
conditions There would a less than significant impact involving seismic ground failure, including liquefaction
, gnificant impact may occur if the proposed project site was sufficiently close to the ocean to be potentially at risk of the
effects of seismically induced tidal phenomena (seiche and tsunami) The proposed project site is located approximately
one mile from Santa Monica Bay and the Pacific Ocean The coastal portion of the City and adjacent portions of the City
of Los Angeles are identified by the State as tsunami hazard areas, and as a result, there is the potential for damage to
Edison and Chevron facilities, and the Hyperion Treatment Plant However, the residential portions of the City and the
proposed project site are located above the potential hazard area and are not at high risk There are no volcanic hazards
within the proposed project area or region Impacts involving seiche, tsunami, or volcanic hazards would be less than
significant
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project site were located in a hillside area with soil conditions that would
suggest high potential for sliding The proposed project site is not located in a hillside area and therefore would not be
subject to potential landslide conditions
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project site would expose large areas to the erosional effects of wind or
water for a long period of time The proposed project area is highly developed and the project site is entirely paved The
potential for substantial erosion or changes in topography would therefore not be present under the proposed project No
impact would occur
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project would cause subsidence of the land The proposed project site is
completely paved and developed The proposed project would involve the demolition of the existing office building, no
major site preparation activities would be required No withdrawals of subsurface fluids, which could potentially cause
subsidence, would be associated with the proposed project In addition, the regional groundwater is approximately 110
feet below the ground surface of the vicinity of the proposed project site No impact would occur

A significant impact may occur if the proposed project resulted In increased runoff volumes during construction or
operation of the project, which would result in flooding conditions affecting the project site or nearby properties No
stream or river courses are currently located in the vicinity of the project site The proposed project would reduce the
amount of impervious surface on the project site because it will replace existing paved and developed surfaces within the
project site with urban landscaping The proposed project would increase the quality, quantity and variety of plant
material and landscape currently at the site While the proposed project site at present is occupied virtually in its entirety
by buildings or paved surfaces, the proposed project would include minimal new landscaped areas adjacent to the retail
building and parking structure Therefore, the proposed project would not generate any additional storm water runoff to
the storm drain system and would likely reduce storm water runoff to the storm drain system Impacts would be less than

A significant impact may occur if the proposed project resulted in exposure of people or property to water related hazards
such as flooding The proposed project is located within Flood Hazard Zone C of the National Flood Insurance Program
(i e , not at risk of a 100 -year or 500 -year flood) and there are no major dams or waterways located near proposed project
site No impact would occur
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project included potential sources of water pollutants, which would have
the potential to degrade water quality During construction of the proposed project, demolition of the existing parking lot
would take place and the proposed project site could be exposed to precipitation, which could increase runoff of eroded
materials The project will be required to comply with the applicable regulations of the General Construction Activity
Storm Water Permit issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board and administered by the Los
Angeles County Department of Public Works and the City of El Segundo However, by incorporating the relevant Best
Management Practices (BMPs) set forth in this permit for erosion control into the project construction process, impacts on
water quality from construction runoff would be limited With implementation of the mitigation measures set forth below,
impacts of the proposed project related to construction runoff would be less than significant
During operations, the proposed project would use, at most, minimal amounts of hazardous materials for routine office
cleaning and landscaping Vehicular activities associated with the proposed project could result in the deposition of
materials within the parking structure and on surrounding roadways would have the potential to contribute metals, oil and
grease, solvents, hydrocarbons and suspended solids to storm water runoff The proposed project would be subject to
design criteria set forth in the Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan for Los Angeles County and cities in Los
Angeles County, as administered by the City of El Segundo and the County of Los Angeles These design measures
would minimize the conveyance of pollutants in storm water runoff Therefore, with implementation of the mitigation
measures set forth below, the proposed project would not substantially degrade water quality
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project resulted in changes in the amount of surface water in any water
body The proposed project would involve the demolition of a surface parking lot and the development of a new structure
with retail uses and parking garage in a densely developed portion of the City of El Segundo There would be negligible
change in the amount of impervious surface within the project site with the construction of new landscaped areas There

changes in currents, or the course or direction of water movements as the nearest body of water is one mile away, the
Santa Monica Bay and the Pacific Ocean as a result of either scenario No impact would occur
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project included deep excavations which had the potential to interfere with
groundwater movement or included withdrawal of groundwater or paving of existing permeable surfaces important to
groundwater recharge The proposed project site is presently covered entirely with impermeable surface (I e., structures,
concrete and asphalt) The proposed project would not materially alter the amount of permeable surfaces through
increased landscaped area There would be some excavation on the site to construct the lower level of the parking
structure, but construction would not interfere with groundwater movement Therefore, the proposed project would have
no effect on groundwater quality or recharge
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project includes potential sources of water pollutants that would have the
potential to substantially degrade water quality The proposed project would use, at most, minimal amounts of hazardous
materials for routine office cleaning and landscaping; the proposed project does not include other potential sources of
contaminants, which could potentially degrade water quality Therefore, the proposed project would not degrade water
quality No impact would occur
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project included deep excavations, which had the potential to substantially

proposed project site Is located in an urban developed environment The existing noise environment Is characterized
by the mix of land uses within It, which Includes commercial developments, residences and the Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX) The project site is outside the 65 dBA noise contour of LAX The primary source of noise in the vicinity of
the project site Is vehicular noise on the surrounding streets and noise from LAX
The criteria for determination of a significant noise impact are set forth in the City of El Segundo Noise Ordinance' A
project would normally have a significant operational noise impact if the project causes the ambient noise level measured
at the property line of affected uses to increase by 5 dBA in Community Equivalent Noise Level (CNEL) above the
accepted ambient noise level of 65 dBA CNEL CNEL is a 24 -hour weighted noise measurement, in which noise during
evening and nighttime hours is given an increased weight to account for increased sensitivity to noise during those hours
For the proposed project, the predominant noise source is anticipated to be additional vehicular traffic The greatest
impacts would occur at sensitive receptors located near the project The two closest such receptors are (1) residential
units on the second floor of the building across the alley to the east of the project site a 105 -113 East Grand Avenue, and
(2) a residential units on the west side of the 200 block of Richmond Street across the street from the project site The
resulting noise levels, with the addition of project- related traffic, would not be expected to increase Operational noise
impacts would be less than significant
A significant Impact may occur if the proposed project if there are severe noise levels to be generated during project
construction Construction activities would require the use of numerous noise - generating types of equipment such as jack
hammers, pneumatic impact equipment, saws and tractors However, given the duration of the construction activities and
the distance from the site to sensitive noise receptors, construction noise impacts are expected to be less than the City
significance threshold of 5 dBA Construction noise impacts would be less than significant

A significant impact may occur if the proposed project cumulatively exceeded the official regional or local population
projections The City of El Segundo's General Plan Objective ED1 -1, Policy ED1 -1 1, to maintain economic development
as one of the City's and the business and residential communities' top priorities, would be implemented through the
development of the proposed project The proposed retail development and City parking lease would create jobs, expand
business, and create additional revenue for the City The proposed project would not include residential development and
would not include permanent population growth in the City Therefore, the proposed project would not exceed official
regional or local population projections No Impact would occur
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project were to locate new development such as homes, businesses or
infrastructure, with the effect of substantially inducing growth that would otherwise not have occurred as rapidly or in as
great a magnitude The proposed project is located in an urbanized area, with all major urban Infrastructure systems
already in place As discussed Ion Section 9 above, the City's lease of 100 parking spaces may make it more possible for
additional development to occur in the downtown area Some of this additional development could be residential land
uses, since owner - tenant occupied residential uses are permitted in the Downtown Specific Plan Therefore, to the extent
that residential development is permitted in the Downtown Specific Plan, and the impacts of additional development were
already determined in Environmental Assessment No 474, no additional impacts on population and housing would occur
as a result of the lease of 100 parking spaces in the proposed project by the City of El Segundo
Under this project, a 7,000 square foot retail building, consistent with the zoning for the site, would be replaced a surface
parking lot Therefore, the proposed project would not induce substantial growth be developing in an undeveloped area or
extension of major infrastructure No impact would occur
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project would result in displacement of existing housing units, necessitating
construction of replacement housing elsewhere The proposed ptoject would Involve the replacement of a parking lot with

A significant Impact may occur if a proposed protect resulted in an Increase in demand for police services that would
exceed the capacity of the police department responsible for serving the site Police service for the proposed protect site
Is provided by the El Segundo Police Department (ESPD), which is located at 348 Main Street, in the City of El Segundo
The proposed protect would slightly increase on -site population, which could generate a demand for additional security
The extent of additional protection needed would vary in accordance with the type of use and expected number of %sitars
and employees on -site The proposed protect would have less than significant impacts on police service
A significant Impact may occur if a proposed protect Includes substantial employment or population growth, which could
generate demand for school facilities that exceeds the capacity of the school district(s) responsible for serving the protect
site The Impact of additional residential development in the Downtown Specific Plan was evaluated in EA No 474 and
determined to have a no significant impact on school facilities or school demand The City's lease of 100 parking spaces
in the proposed parking structure could facilitate the development of additional residential units in the Downtown Specific
Plan area, but would not create any additional demand for school facilities not analyzed in the mitigated negative
declaration for the Downtown Specific Plan Therefore, the proposed protect would not result in a significant indirect
increase in permanent residential population, which could affect local schools No impact on schools would occur
A significant impact may occur if a proposed protect includes substantial employment or population growth, which could
generate a demand for new or altered government service The addition of 7,000 square feet of commerciallretail land
use would not significantly increase employment growth in the City. Additionally, the potential employment and population
growth due to the City's lease of 100 parking spaces in the proposed garage would not create any additional demands for
service that were not evaluated as part of the mitigated negative declaration for the Downtown Specific Plan As a result
no impact would occur and no mitigation is required
gnificant impact may occur if a proposed protect includes substantial employment or population growth, which could
erate a demand for other public facilities (such as libraries), which exceeds the capacity available to serve the protect
site As detailed above, the addition of 7,000 square feet of commercial/retail land use would not significantly increase
employment growth in the City Additionally, the potential employment and population growth due to the City's tease of
100 parking spaces in the proposed garage would not create any additional demands for service that were not evaluated
as part of the mitigated negative declaration for the Downtown Specific Plan Therefore, the proposed protect itself would
not increase permanent residential population within the City of El Segundo With no increase of permanent residential

A significant impact may occur if a proposed protect includes substantial employment or population growth, which could
generate demands for public park facilities that exceed the capacity of existing parks, and causes premature deterioration
of the park facilities As stated in Section No 13 above, the protect itself would not increase permanent residential
population within the City of El Segundo Maintenance of public parks and public recreational facilities in El Segundo are
funded largely through the City general fund As demand for park services by the proposed protect is considered to have
no impact, impacts on maintenance of those facilities would likewise not be significant The protect would not Increase the
demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities No impact would occur
A significant impact may occur if a protect includes the construction or expansion of park facilities and such construction
would have a significant adverse effect on the environment The proposed protect involved the construction of a
commercial protect and not the construction of parks No Impact would occur on existing recreational opportunities

A significant impact related to traffic conditions would occur if a proposed protect generated traffic that exceeded the
significance threshold of the jurisdiction in which a potentially affected intersection were located The City of El Segundo
has established a significance threshold for traffic impacts within the City that identifies a significant impact whenever
either of the following occurs (1) a protect causes an intersection to decline from LOS D or better to LOSE or worse, or
1(2) a protect contributes traffic that causes the volume /capacity (V /C) ratio at an intersection that is forecast to operate at
{ LOS E or LOS F to Increase by 0 02 or more If either of these two thresholds is exceeded, the Impact is considered
significant
The city's consultant Traffic Engineer prepared trip generation estimates for the proposed addition of 7,000 square feet of
commercial use on the protect site Since it is not known exactly what types of uses would occupy the new building, an
average trip generation rate, based on several Institute of Transportation Engineer's land use categories, was developed
to estimate the trip generation potential for commercial and restaurant uses Based on average AM, PM and average daily
trip rates of 3 7, 7 65, and 76 04, respectively, the proposed 7,000 square foot building is expected to generate
1 approximately 7B AM peak period vehicle trips, 53, PM peak period trips and a total of 532 average dally trips Accordin

than significant
A project- related significant adverse effect could occur if inadequate parking areas were provided during construction or
operation of the proposed project such that employee and visitor parking would spill over into adjacent areas During
construction of the proposed structure, the vacant market would remain unoccupied Thus construction would not interfere
with the required parking for the existing building Upon completion of the project and re- occupancy of the vacant building,
76 parking spaces would be provided for the existing building and the new 7,000 square foot commercial building This
would exceed the 69 parking spaces required by the Zoning Code for the existing building (46 spaces, based on a grocery
store use with 12,480 square feet of sales area and 4,103 square feet of storage area for a total area of 16,583) and the
new retail building (23 spaces)
A project- related significant adverse effect could occur if project design did not allow for emergency access meeting the
requirements of the Fire Department such that an existing hazard to the project and adjacent uses would be exacerbated
Access to the project site would be provided from Richmond Street and Grand Avenue, which would be consistent with
Fire Department requirements for two separated access points to the site No impacts related to emergency access
would occur
A project- related significant adverse effect could occur if the project included new roadway design or introduced a new
land use into an area with specific transportation requirements and characteristics, which had not been previously
experienced in that area The proposed project does not include any new roadways The proposed project would also
include commercial retail land uses, which are consistent with the urban development already existing in this area of the
City of El Segundo Automobile and truck traffic associated with these uses would be consistent with existing traffic
oatterns No impact would occur
)roject- related significant adverse effect could occur if the project were to increase traffic hazards in such a manner as
to pose safety hazards or otherwise preclude pedestrian and bicycle movements As noted above, the proposed project
would increase traffic at certain intersections within the City of El Segundo However, these intersections are currently
signalized and /or provide crosswalks and pedestrian crossing signals to ensure pedestrian safety The proposed project
would not impact these signals and would thus not impact pedestrian safety The proposed project would not significantly
impact any intersections in the area and thus the proposed project would not preclude the use of the roadway system by
bicycles Impacts to pedestrian and bicycle movements under the proposed project would be less than significant
A project- related significant adverse effect could occur if the project would involve modification of existing alternative
transportation facilities located on- or off -site An existing bus shelter on Grand Avenue may require repositioning due to
the construction of the driveway access to the parking structure on Grand Avenue No other off -site construction would be
associated with the proposed project On -site construction would occur in areas that do not include any existing
alternative transportation facilities No impacts related to alternative transportation facilities would occur
A project- related significant adverse effect could occur if the project included rail, port or airport facilities, or had the
potential to impact such facilities The proposed project is a commercial development that does not include any rail, port
or airport facilities The proposed project would not include any development that would infringe upon or otherwise impact
the railroad right -of -way The proposed project is sufficiently distant from LAX that it would not impact operations at that
facility No impacts would occur

A significant impact may occur if a proposed project includes substantial employment or population growth, which could
generate a demand for new systems or substantial alterations to power or natural gas The Southern California Gas
Company (TGC) provides natural gas to the City of El Segundo, including the proposed project site The proposed project
site is located in TGC's Pacific Region, which includes all coastal areas between Long Beach and Ventura
The availability of natural gas is based upon present conditions of gas supply and regulatory policies As a public utility,
TGC is under the jurisdiction of the California Public Utilities Commission, but can also be affected by actions of federal
regulatory agencies Should these agencies take any action, which affects gas supply or the conditions under which
service is available, gas service would be provided in accordance with those revised conditions No impact would occur
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project includes substantial employment or population growth, which could
generate a demand for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to communications systems Pacific Bell
provides local telephone service in the City of El Segundo Pacific Bell regularly upgrades its system as demands for
service increase There would be no need for new systems, new supplies, or substantial alterations to the existing
communications systems No impact to communications systems would occur
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project would increase water consumption or wastewater generation to such
a degree that the capacity of facilities currently serving the project site would be exceeded The City of El Segundo
supplies water to proposed project site, from groundwater wells located within the Los Angeles Basin, which is blended
with water purchased from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) These lines are 5oth capable of handling the increase
in water consumption generated by the proposed project Water supplies for the Los Angeles Region are considered
ample enough to serve existing and planned development in the area, including the proposed project The increase of
water consumption generated by the proposed project would not require or result in the construction of new water
treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities No impact to water treatment facilities would occur
The City of El Segundo Public Works Department also provides wastewater service to the project area The increase in
wastewater would be treated at the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts Joint Water Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP)
The JW PCP has a design capacity of 385 million gallons per day (mgd) and currently processes an average flow of 328 8
mgd There are an 8 -inch wastewater mains in Richmond Street and the alley on the east side of the property Both
wastewater mains have sufficient capacity remaining to handle the increase generated by the proposed project The
increase in wastewater generation by the proposed project can be served by existing treatment facilities and would not
result in the construction of substantial new or expanded wastewater treatment facilities No impact to wastewater
treatment facilities would occur
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project would increase wastewater generation to result in a need for new
systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to sewer or septic tanks This question would apply to the proposed project
only if it were located in an area not served by an existing sewer system The proposed project site is located in a
developed area of the City of El Segundo, which is served, by a wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment system

directed towards existing storm drains in the project vicinity Runoff would be remain essentially the same because the
amount of permeable surface within the project site would not be significantly altered Because the amount of storm water
runoff to the storm drain system would remain virtually unchanged, no impacts to the storm drain system would occur
No deficiencies in affected infrastructure exist now, nor are any anticipated with implementation of the proposed project
No substantive changes to storm drain facilities would be required as a result of the proposed project No significant
impact would occur
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project were to increase solid waste generation to a degree that existing and
projected landfill capacity would be insufficient to accommodate the additional solid waste Solid waste generated in the
project area is typically disposed at the Puente Hills Landfill, in Whittier and the Nu -Way Live Oak Landfill, in Irwindale,
however, other landfills serving commercial properties located within the City are also available for solid waste disposal
Facility expansions and new landfills are being sought as existing facility capacity diminishes Also, mandatory City waste
reduction and recycling programs, such as the Source Reduction and Recycling Program (in compliance with the
September 1989 California Integrated Solid Waste Management Act, SB 939) are greatly reducing the amount of waste
that would otherwise have entered area landfills
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project were to increase water consumption to such a degree that new water
sources would need to be identified, or that existing resources would be consumed at a pace greater than planned for by
purveyors, distributors and service providers The Department of Public Works is anticipated to be able to meet the water
,remand for the proposed project, as described in Section 8, above No impact to water service would occur
17 MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self - sustaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the X
number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or
eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history
or prehistory?
b) Does the protect have impacts that are individually limited, but
cumulatively considerable? ( "Cumulatively considerable" means that
the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in X
connection with the effects of the past projects, the effects of other
current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)?
C) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or X
indirectly
A significant impact may occur only if a project would have an identified potentially significant impact for any of the above
issues, as discussed in the preceding sections The proposed project is located in a densely populated urban area The
proposed project would have no unmitigated significant impacts provided the mitigation measures listed above are
implemented The proposed project would not degrade the quality of the environment, reduce or threaten any fish or
wildlife species (endangered or otherwise), or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or
history
A significant impact would occur only if a proposed project were to result in short-term environmental effects that would
substantially affect or preclude the ability of a jurisdiction to achieve long -term environmental goals The proposed project

does not include any significant short-term environmental effects that cannot be mitigated and therefore would not impact
to achievement of long -term environmental goals No impact would occur
A significant impact may occur if a project, in conjunction with other related projects In the area of the project site, would
result in impacts, which are less than significant when viewed separately, but would be significant when viewed together
Although there are other past, current and probable future projects in the area surrounding the project site, the project's
contribution to cumulative traffic, air quality, and other impact areas would be de minimis (i e , environmental conditions
would essentially be the same whether or not the proposed project is implemented)
A significant impact may occur if a project has the potential to resuk in significant impacts, as discussed to the preceding
sections As noted in the evaluations above, the proposed project would not result in any unmitigated significant impacts
Thus, the proposed project would not have the potential to result in substantial adverse effects on human beings

Fire Department Comments for 121 W Grand
Fire Access Roads The approved Fire Department access for this parking
structure is the Alley, to the East, and Richmond Street, to the West. NOTE; The
driveway access that runs East and West, in front of the market, is too close to
both, the parking structure and the market to be considered for fire access No on-
site fire lanes are required, however, parking will be prohibited on Richmond
Street, adjacent to the parking structure as this will be considered the required
access to the parking structure, as currently configured.
2 Automatic Fire Sprinklers Automatic fire sprinklers are required to be installed in
the market and are already provided The system was certified in 2001 Fire
Spnnklers are not required in the open parking garage so long as there is provided
a 20 square foot opening, every 50 lineal feet, or fraction thereof, on each side of
the parking structure that features fire access roadways These openings shall be
accessible to the fire department from the exterior and shall not be obstructed in a
manner that firefighting or rescue cannot be accomplished from the exterior
Standpipes A class III standpipe system is required (1 -1/2 inch hosed and 2 -1/2
inch outlets for structure with four levels This structure appears to have four
levels
4 These requirements are general Specific requirements will be based upon a
review of plans and information submitted under a building permit application

Workers' Compensation Volatility
How to Control and Mitigate Costs
Presented by.
Jody A. Gray, W.0 C P., AR M.
President, SCRMA, Inc.
127
State of California Workers' Compensation Today
* Average insurer rates increased 26% from 1999 to 2000. 19% from 2000 to 2001
* The State Insurance Commissioner approved an 18.5% pure premium rate increase
for the year 2000, a 10 1% in 2001, a 10.2% in 2002, with a mid -year increase
anticipated for 2002
* AB 749, effective January 1, 2003, dramatically increases workers' compensation
benefits and affords very little in the way of "system reform "
* 5_5, independent insurers or insurer groups which collectively wrote one -fourth of
the total California workers' compensation market in 1994, are currently under
regulatory action by the Department of Insurance as a result of financial insolvency
* The State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF) and the California Insurance
Guarantee Fund (CIGA) are estimated to have 75% of the California market share
* Trickle -down effect of 9/11 and weakening economy
128
How Did Workers' Compensation Get this Way?
History of the Industry
* Direct relationship between insurance and the stock market
- Bull market means soft market
Bear market means hard market
* In 1994, the legislature opened the door to carriers to set their own rates for
insurance premiums (open rating)
* Competition for market share resulted in price bidding for business
* The average cost of a workers' compensation indemnity claim has escalated
from $15,646 in 1994 to $38,397 in 2000
* Market impact on employers
Current market turmoil
-Losses exceed premiums collected
-Revenues cannot be made up by investments
-Only a few healthy carriers /reinsurers are left to quote
-Carriers can pick and choose employers to write
-Assessment CICA increased from 5% to 2% - another increase
pending
Current workers' compensation renewals
•35% to 100 +% increases have been experienced
-Carriers expect 25% to 40% premiums above expected actuarial
confidence levels
Limited renewal options
-No multi -year rate guarantees
-Mandated loss - sensitive programs
-Mid-year program rate increases as a result of AB 749
trn
What Can Employers Do to Contain and Mitigate Costs?
* Implement cost containment programs
Return to work or "Transitional Duty" programs: Prepare to take
advantage of employer reimbursements from the State, effective July 1,
2004
Fee negotiations with preferred provider clinics /vendors
File reviews
Cost allocation plans within locations
Implement and document Safety and Training Plans
Compensation and incentive programs linked to employee safety on the
fob
If Insured:
* Comprehensive and timely underwriting information
Complete all requested information about your business
Provide comprehensive and detailed loss runs for 5 -7 years and stratified
reports
Provide sample policies and programs directed at costs reduction
Cite specific examples of well managed (large exposure) claims
Submit quality and timely application
Make sure that your business's "Ex -Mod" has been filed and that it is
correct
130
If Self- Insuring:
Know your business's costs for risk
Actuarially project loss trends (at approximately 70% confidence level at
net present value)
Add cost of claims administration
Add cost of excess insurance
- Add other ancillary costs to self -fund program

in the bid proposal (attached letter) Staff recommends that this bid be rejected
as non - responsive

The construction of the project in the heavily traveled State Highway in compliance with
Caltrans requirements needs a full time construction inspector. Staff contacted several
consultants and recommends retaining CBM Consulting, Inc , to provide the inspection
services for $75 50 /hour, at a not to exceed cost of $75,000 00 CBM Consulting, Inc, has
offered an inspector who has prior experience in inspecting projects on a State Highway

to utilize this inspector to oversee the forthcoming project for Sepulveda Boulevard signal
improvements, which will be under construction concurrently with this landscaping project.

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION (continued)
Currently, all City shuttle buses are gasoline powered. The State and AQMD mandates that
government agencies pursue alternative powered equipment when available.
Staff received two (2) bids from a State contract for one (1) new alternative (propane powered
vehicle)
Creative Bus Sales $64,283.17
A -Z Bus Sales $64,724.41
Due to the increase in cost for propane powered vehicles, the City Equipment Replacement
Fund requires a supplement of $5,000 00 in order to purchase the new bus
The City receives State funds (AB 2766) based upon vehicle registration from each residential
driver The funds may be used for emission reduction programs and projects based on the
City's needs and the State requirements, such as purchase of alternative fuel vehicles, shuttle
programs, and bike paths in order to reduce vehicle emissions.
Currently, the City of El Segundo has $46,000 00 in AB 2766 funds and the City receives
approximately $16,000 00 annually from AQMD The staff is recommending the use of
$5,000 00 to supplement the purchase of the new propane powered vehicle This purchase
will allow the City to stay within compliance of all State mandates and also help reduce vehicle
emissions

El Segundo City Council
Meeting Date June 4, 2002
AGENDA DESCRIPTION- Consideration and possible action to reject all bids
from RFP #02 -03 (Police Towing and Storage Services)
Page —2—
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION'
On January 18, 2002, staff solicited proposals from three companies Two responses (S &W
Towing and Storage, and Jim & Jack's Auto Body) were received and evaluated upon the
following criteria contractor's experience, facilities, background, bid responses, and ability to
meet the City's needs In the process of evaluating a towing company, the cost of towing and
storage is only one of the considerations because the cost of towing and storage is borne by
the registered owner of the vehicle, not the City Staff also focused on factors that are
considered critical in selecting contractors who will represent the City throughout the towing
process, from proper damage -free vehicle handling to customer service
Once bids were received, staff evaluated them and a background investigation was conducted
on both companies As a result, staff determined that it was not in the City's interest to
contract with either bidder at this time One company's background and references was
unsatisfactory, and the other did not appear to meet the RFP's requirements
Based on the background investigation conducted by the police department and the city
attorney, it is recommended the City Council reject all bids for RFP #02 -03 and authorize the
police department to issue a new RFP The new RFP would be slightly modified to attract a
greater number of bidders for the City's towing contract
