Over the past year, MWW Group, Urban Dimensions continued to articulate the City's
position regarding LAX and the broad array of airport related issues on several fronts.
Most notably, those efforts have resulted in a situation in which the City is now working with
the Los Angeles Mayor's office and Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) in obtaining an
enforceable agreement constraining LAX to its current capacity of 78.9 MAP. In addition,
the City has maintained a productive relationship with its coalition partners promoting a
regional airport plan. To continue those efforts, staff recommends that the City Council

MEMORANDUM
To: Jeff Stewart, City of El Segundo
From: Gerry Warburg, Cassidy & Associates
RE: Scope of Washington Government Relations Work October 2003 - September 2004
We are pleased to continue working with the City to advance four principal agenda items.
These include, but will not necessarily be limited to, the following:
1. Water Funding: We will continue to advance efforts to secure EPA special project funding to
assist in the substantial costs of the unfunded mandates from Sacramento. To date, we have
secured more than $500,000 for the Smoky Hollow project and we hope to grow that amount
through earmarks in appropriate federal funding bills.
2. Transportation Funding: We have advanced with California Congressional delegation support
request for several million dollars in funding for local road projects. While the re- authorization of
the highway has been delayed by a dispute in the House over the gas tax, we anticipate significant
results for the City when this bill is enacted in 2004, to benefit Aviation/Rosecrans & Douglas gap
closure costs.
3. LAX Expansion: We continue to aid the City and allies in efforts to curtail possible growth of
LAX and to block efforts to adopt federal legislation that might limit local authorities and their
ability to regulate expansion.
4. MagLev Funding: We continue work with the City, Ontario, Anaheim and proponents of high
speed rail funding to increase the attractiveness of alternatives to LAX and thereby improve
quality of life for City residents. While this issue is directly related to the stalled highway bill, we
continue to work with the coalition to support funding for an Anaheim- Ontario line that can
reduce negative impacts on El Segundo.
Other: we remain available to the City in exploring a host of opportunities as they arise, including
possible Appropriations Committee support for development of LA Air Force Base. We are pleased
to be part of the City team in developing assessing and —where appropriate — pursuing funding
opportunities.

MEMORANDUM

TO: The City Council of the City of El Segundo
FM: Harvey A. Englander
Senior Vice President & General Manager
David A. Herbst
Senior Vice President
RE: Public Affairs Proposal — Regional Airport Solution for LAX & Beyond...
During the past several months, we have reached a critical point in El Segundo's
discussions with the City of Los Angeles. We continue to follow your direction in trying to
verify and if necessary advocate for the implementation of enforceable constraints on the
future growth at LAX, while at the same time continuing to promote the importance of a
regional solution to airport capacity that does not overly rely on LAX. Over the next three
months, those discussions and efforts will come to a head as the public comment period on
Alternative D ends and the response to comments part of the EIR/EIS process begins, as
well as future public hearings before LAWA and the LA City Council.
Primary Objectives
Our primary objectives, as outlined previously, remain fundamentally unchanged:
1) Manage El Segundo's relationship with the Los Angeles Mayor's Office, the Los
Angeles City Council and the LAWA Board of Airport Commissioners;
2) Manage El Segundo's relationship with organized labor, focusing on those unions that
currently do not support a regional solution to airport capacity in Southern California;
3) Ongoing media relations campaign, primarily focused on media outlets that key Los
Angeles elected officials and civic leaders read;
4) Ongoing dialogue and base of support amongst LA civic and business leaders for a
regional solution instead of the Riordan LAX Master Plan.
We continue to appreciate the opportunity to work for the City of El Segundo on this very
important effort.
Thank you.

4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
On August 5, 2003, the staff presented City Council with the results of the consultant's
analysis of the validation process for the traffic model that is proposed to be used to forecast
future traffic conditions for the update of the Circulation Element. Staff also presented the
analysis of the impacts of buildout under the current General Plan land use assumptions. The
Council provided direction to staff on a number of important assumptions to be included in the
traffic model and specifically directed staff to begin the traffic modeling for the three land use
scenarios previously agreed upon (0.8, 1.0 and 1.3 floor area ratio's (FAR) in the CO and MU-
N Zones).
The purpose of this report is to present the results of the analysis of the three FAR scenarios
and to seek direction on whether or not to prepare an amendment to the Land Use Element
based on one of the three FAR scenarios. Staff suggests the following process to determine
the appropriate direction:

Below is a discussion of each item in the decision tree outlined above.
A. Results of Modeling Exercise for three FAR's
The attached report (Exhibit A) from the City's traffic consultant (Kimley -Horn &
Associates) includes a full discussion and analysis of the future traffic conditions in the
City that would be expected to occur based on the various assumptions approved by
the City Council. The report also contains the results of the modeling of the three FAR
buildout scenarios that were also previously approved by Council for study. In
summary, the differences between the three scenarios are not significant.
Traffic Increase
The report concludes that traffic between now and 2025 is expected to grow
approximately 20 -50% when measured at the various screenlines depicted in Figure 1
and Table 1, depending on the location in the City. These increases take into account
all three FAR scenarios. It is important to note that when comparing the projected traffic
increase at the screenlines, five of the six screenlines indicate that future traffic (even
for the 1.3 FAR scenario) would be better than if the existing General Plan buildout
were implemented. Additionally, the difference between the three FAR buildout
scenarios is relatively small - approximately 2 -11 %, also depending on the screenline
location in the City. For example at screenline No. 1 the total difference in projected
traffic between the 0.8 and 1.3 FAR's is two percent. The total difference at screenline
No. 3 is approximately 10.2 percent between the 0.8 and 1.3 FAR scenarios.
Affects on Roads
The report (Table 2) found that no roadway segments would operate at a more deficient
Level of Service (LOS) under the 1.0 FAR scenario than at the 0.8 FAR scenario. Only
one roadway segment (Aviation between Imperial and El Segundo) would operate at a
more deficient LOS for the 1.3 than the 1.0 FAR scenario. Additionally, only two
intersections would operate under more deficient conditions in the 1.3 FAR scenario
020
STAFF REPORT: October 8, 2003
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.)

than buildout of the existing General Plan. In fact, three intersection would operate at
less deficient conditions under the 1.3 FAR scenario than buildout of the existing
General Plan.
Affects on Intersections
When looking at individual intersection impacts, Table 7 lists the 17 intersections that
would be significantly impacted by future growth under one or more of the three FAR
scenarios. All but one of these intersections would be at the same LOS E or F during
the morning peak hour under either the 0.8 or 1.0 FAR scenario. All 17 intersections
would be at the same LOS E or F under either the 1.0 or 1.3 FAR scenarios in the
morning peak hour. In the afternoon peak hour there is also very little difference
between the three FAR scenarios at the 17 congested intersections. Only one
intersection (Continental Blvd. /Mariposa Ave.) would be at a worse condition (LOS E) at
the 1.3 FAR scenario than at the 0.8 or 1.0 FAR scenarios.
Needed Improvements /Mitigation to Intersections
The report contains tables and figures that illustrate the location and number of
roadway segments and intersections that would be significantly impacted by the future
traffic growth. It identifies potential improvements that can be made at the impacted
intersections and illustrates which of the FAR scenarios would benefit from the
improvements. Figure 7 graphically shows the intersection improvements that would
mitigate each of the 17 congested intersections identified in Table 7. In 13 of 17
intersections, the improvements to mitigate the 0.8 FAR scenario would also mitigate
the 1.0 FAR scenario. In four of those 13 intersections, additional mitigation would be
necessary for the 1.3 FAR scenario. Only one of the 17 intersections did not require
any mitigation under the 0.8 FAR scenario and two intersections would need
progressively more mitigation for each of the three FAR scenarios.
The reports found that for six intersections in the City, there were no practical
improvements that could completely mitigate all of the growth anticipated. According to
the City's significance threshold criteria, Level of Service D is considered acceptable,
while LOS E and F are considered deficient. For instance, to completely mitigate future
growth at the intersection of Rosecrans and Aviation, a grade- separated intersection
could improve the intersection to a LOS D, but such a long -term solution has been
estimated to cost approximately $39 million by the South Bay Cities Council of
Governments. Other improvements to intersections might help reduce deficiencies,
such as creating five through lanes, more than triple left -turn lanes and more than
double right -turn only lanes are typically considered beyond the normal practical
solutions to intersection deficiencies.
B. Compare Three FAR Scenarios to Additional Scenario - "No Land Use Change"
After reviewinq the consultants draft report, staff concluded that an additional scenario
would be useful for comparative purposes, particularly if the Council ultimately decides
not to amend the land use densities in the CO or MU -N Zone. This additional "No Land
021
STAFF REPORT: October 8, 2003
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.)
Page 4
Use Change" buildout scenario would retain the existing land use densities, while
incorporating the rest of the new assumptions for the Circulation Element. This forecast
will differ from the analysis of the existing General Plan buildout that was presented in
August in that that forecast still assumed, among other elements of the existing General
Plan, that certain streets would be included in the master plan and conversion of the
Nash - Douglas Couplet to two -way operations would not take place. The new "No Land
Use Change" scenario would incorporate all of the other new assumptions that are
incorporated into the FAR scenarios (as referenced in the beginning of Exhibit A) and
would serve as a more accurate comparison of the future traffic if everything else that
the Council intends to be included in the Circulation Element is except for any changes
in the land use densities. The primary difference is the input assumptions related to the
amount of recycled building area attributable to each of the three FAR scenarios versus
the "No Land Use Change" Scenario. The "No Land Use Change" scenario includes
4,617,036 square feet of additional development while the 0.8 FAR includes 1,579,783
square feet. The 1.0 FAR scenario includes 2,515,401 square feet of development and
the 1.3 FAR scenario includes 7,302,666 square feet of potential development. Based
on these inputs, staff expects the results to most closely reflect the assumptions of the
1.0 FAR scenario, which is a combination of increased FAR in the CO Zone (from 0.8)
and decreased FAR in the MU -N Zone (from 1.3). Due to time constraints and due to
staff's commitment to deliver this report to interested residents and business
representatives at the earliest possible date, the results of this scenario and
comparison of the impacts to those in the three FAR scenarios will not be available
before distribution of this staff report, but will be forwarded to the Council under a
separate cover before the October 8, meeting date.
C. Determine if Additional Traffic Modeling is Needed
The budget and schedule for the Circulation Element provides for an optional work
element for the consultant to prepare additional buildout scenarios if so desired by the
Council, after reviewing the results of the initial buildout scenarios. If Council desires
additional modeling, then staff requests direction on the input assumptions to be used
in these model runs. Staff would complete these model runs, and present the analysis
and comparison to the original three model runs at the November 18, City Council
meeting. Based on the results of the three FAR scenarios, staff does not recommend
that any additional modeling be prepared at this time.
D. Determine if No Additional Traffic Modeling is Needed
If the Council does not desire to have additional traffic forecast scenarios prepared,
staff requests that the Council determine if it wants to pursue an amendment to the
Land Use Element of the General Plan based on one of the three FAR scenarios. If so
directed, staff will begin preparation of the Land Use Element Amendment and begin
preparation of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Circulation Element
Update. If the consensus of the Council is to not amend the Land Use Element, staff
recommends that the "project" to be analyzed in the EIR be based on the impacts that
will be formulated in the additional "No Land Use Change" scenario that is described
above.

Land Use Element Cost
It is important to note that the approved scope of work for the City's consultant included
a cost estimate for preparation of a Land Use Element Amendment, if needed. This
additional cost (approximately $29,000) was not included in staffs original budget
authorization because it was not clear at the time if the expenditure would be
necessary. Staff has determined that there are sufficient funds within the Planning
Division professional technical account for Fiscal year 03/04.
Operational Model Demonstration
Staff previously committed to preparing a demonstration of an operational traffic model on
one of the corridors in the City. The consultant has prepared such a demonstration, using
SYNCRO software and the consultant will present the short demonstration at the City
Council meeting. This software package allows one to see how traffic flows on the streets
under different conditions. The operational analysis will show actual traffic flow on one of
the major traffic corridor under existing conditions, with planned roadway improvements
(including ITS) factored in, and future conditions with new mitigation measures also
factored in.
Staff Recommendation
Based on the results of the traffic forecast for the three FAR scenarios, staff thinks that
significant traffic benefits would not be gained by adopting one of the three scenarios over
any one of the other scenarios. In addition, preliminary analysis by the consultant indicates
that the "No Land Use Change" scenario modeling will conclude similar results as noted
above. Again, due to staff's commitment to deliver this staff report to interested parties as
early as possible, the results of the modeling will not be available at the printing deadline,
but will be distributed separately. Consequently, it is recommended that the Council direct
staff to begin preparation of the EIR and Circulation Element without an amendment to the
Land Use Element.
Schedule
Staff anticipates that once given direction to begin preparation of the EIR based on the
chosen buildout scenario, that it will take approximately one month for the Notice of
Preparation of the EIR to be prepared and then three more months for the Draft EIR to be
circulated to the public. The Circulation Element document will also be prepared and it
would be presented to the Planning Commission along with the Draft EIR afterthe required
45 -day public review period in late -March of 2004. After the Planning Commission has
made a recommendation on the draft Circulation Element, it would be presented along with
the Final EIR to the City Council for public hearings in April of 2004. The above schedule
assumes that no additional buildout scenarios would be necessary. If additional scenarios
were need to be prepared before preparation of the EIR were to begin, it would add
approximately 4 -6 weeks to the overall process. This schedule is consistent with the
original work program approved by the City Council on November 19, 2002.

EXHIBIT A
ANALYSIS OF 2025 TRAFFIC CONDITIONS FOR THREE
ALTERNATIVE FLOOR AREA RATIO (FAR) ASSUMPTIONS
The El Segundo traffic model was used to estimate 2025 traffic volumes for each of the three alternative
assumptions for Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in the Commercial Office (CO) and Mixed Use (MU) areas. The
three FAR alternatives would be FAR =0.8, FAR =1.0, and FAR =1.3. In accordance with the direction of
the City Council at the August 5, 2003 meeting, the following assumptions were used in the modeling and
analysis processes:
➢ Vacant land was assumed to develop in accordance with appropriate zoning designation.
➢ Recyclable buildings were based on 50% of maximum permitted FAR.
7 Approved projects, including the proposed development at the Honeywell property, were
included in the analysis.
➢ The effect of transit was reflected in the traffic volume projections.
r It was assumed that there would be a 10% enhancement in roadway and intersection capacity to
reflect the traffic flow benefits of the application of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
measures.
➢ For the analysis of intersections, lane capacity was assumed to be 1,600 vehicles per hour per lane
per hour of green signal time, plus a 10% enhancement for ITS. Lost time was assumed to be
5 %, or 0.05.
➢ Nash Street and Douglas Street would revert to two -way operation between El Segundo
Boulevard and Imperial Highway. Douglas Street would be connected across the railroad tracks,
completing the connection between El Segundo Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue along Douglas
Street. Nash Street would be connected, albeit not directly, between El Segundo Boulevard and
Rosecrans Avenue through the Honeywell property.
➢ Mariposa Avenue would not be extended to the east of Douglas Street to connect with Aviation
Boulevard.
➢ Grand Avenue would be extended from Duley Road to Douglas Street but not further east to
Aviation Boulevard.
➢ Continental Boulevard/Lairport Street would provide a connection between Maple Avenue and
Walnut Avenue
The street system in the Honeywell property would be as depicted in the site plan under review
by the City. This would include a new intersection on Sepulveda Boulevard between Rosecrans
Avenue and Hughes Way to serve the proposed development
RESULTS
The modeling and analysis results are presented in a series of tables and illustrations.
Daily Traffic Volume Across Screenlines
The 2025 daily traffic volume across six screenlines, illustrated in Figure 1, are presented in Table 1 for
the General Plan and for each of the three FAR alternatives. For purposes of comparison, the 2003 daily
traffic volume across each screenline is also presented. The results indicate that, as expected, there would
be substantial traffic growth between 2003 and 2025 with the General Plan as well as for each of the three
FAR alternatives. The growth in traffic between 2003 and 2025 is in the order of 20 to 50 %, depending
on screenline location. Overall, the General Plan would have the highest growth
024
EXHIBIT A
In comparing the three FAR alternatives, as expected, the higher the FAR assumption is, the higher are
the traffic volumes. The differences amongst the traffic volume forecasts for the three FAR alternatives
are small, in the order of two to eleven percent, again depending on the screenline location.
Daily Traffic Volume and Level of Service (LOS) on Roadway Segments
Figure 2 illustrates the number of through travel lanes assumed for the analysis of roadway segments.
Some streets do not have as many lanes now as might be indicated by the General Plan designation. For
purposes of this analysis and as a starting point, it is assumed that the number of lanes would be the same
as existing, regardless of the number of lanes that may be possible under the General Plan designation,
except for the following mayor exceptions:
➢ Aviation Boulevard is assumed to be six lanes in accordance with the planned improvement
project.
➢ Nash Street, as a two -way street , is assumed to have four through lanes between El Segundo
Boulevard and Imperial Highway, two northbound and two southbound. Nash Street would be
extended south of El Segundo Boulevard as a two -lane street, one in each direction.
➢ Douglas Street, as a two -way street, is assumed to have six through lanes between El Segundo
Boulevard and Imperial Highway, three northbound and three southbound.
➢ The extensions of Continental Boulevard/Lairport Street to Walnut Avenue and Grand Avenue to
Douglas Street would have the same number of lanes as the existing portions of these streets.
Table 2 presents the forecasted 2025 traffic volume on each roadway segment for the General Plan and
for each of the three FAR assumptions. Generally, the traffic volumes for the General Plan are higher
than any of the three FAR alternatives. The Level of Service (LOS) based on a comparison of the daily
traffic volume to daily capacity is also presented for the General Plan and for each FAR alternative. In
very few instances are there differences in the LOS based on the daily traffic volume and capacity
comparisons. Figure 3 illustrates the roadway segments where the LOS designations for the three FAR
alternatives differ from one another.
Peak Hourly Intersection Level of Service (LOS)
The existing morning and afternoon peak hourly Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) values and the
Level of Service (LOS) for the 55 intersections analyzed are presented in Table 3. Figure 4 is a
reference map indicating the location of the 55 intersections. The ICU values are computed on the basis
of a lane capacity of 1,600 vehicles per hour per lane per hour of green signal time and a lost time
component of five percent. Seven intersections have LOS E or F either in the morning peak hour, in the
afternoon peak hour, or both. Figure 5 indicates the locations of the intersections with LOS E or F under
existing conditions. The existing conditions are presented as a basis of comparison for the analysis of
2025 conditions for the three FAR alternatives.
Table 4 presents the 2025 ICU values and the LOS for the 55 intersections analyzed for all three FAR
alternatives analyzed. For purposes of these calculations, it is assumed that the number of existing lanes
would not change, except at the intersections along Nash Street and Douglas Street because of the change
from one -way to two -way operation. The assumptions for the number of lanes for the intersections along
Nash Street and Douglas Street are presented in Figure 6. In the calculation of ICU values for 2025
conditions, the lane capacity value of 1,600 vehicles per lane per hour of green signal time is increased by
ten percent to reflect the benefit of the application of ITS measures.
M
EXHIBIT A
Table 5 presents a comparison of the intersection LOS for the three FAR alternatives, where the LOS is E
or F. For purposes of focusing on potential problem areas, intersections with LOS D or better in both the
morning and afternoon peak hours are not included in Table 5.
Table 6 presents the 2025 ICU values and the LOS, after improvements, for the 55 intersections analyzed
for all three FAR alternatives analyzed The needed improvements at intersections other than those along
Nash and Douglas streets are illustrated in Figure 7. Improvements are presented in incremental fashion:
• As a first step, improvements needed to achieve LOS D for the congested intersections in the
FAR =0.8 alternative are determined.
• Congested intersections in the FAR =1.0 alternative are evaluated with the improvements
identified in the preceding step. Additional improvements, if any are needed, are identified.
• Congested intersections in the FAR =1.3 alternative are evaluated with the improvements
identified in the preceding step. Additional improvements, if any are needed, are identified.
In some cases, it may not be possible to achieve LOS D with improvements that are generally considered
manageable at mayor intersections. Thus, more than four through lanes, more than three left turn lanes,
and more than two right turn lanes are considered to be beyond what might be appropriate to consider.
Such intersections include:
➢ Intersection Number 8, Aviation Boulevard at El Segundo Boulevard: LOS D can be
achieved for the FAR =0.8 and FAR =1.0 alternatives. With maximum improvements within the
limits for number of lanes described above, LOS E, but not LOS D, can be achieved in the
afternoon peak hour for the FAR= 1.3 alternative, with an ICU value of 0.92 in the afternoon peak
hour.
➢ Intersection Number 16, Aviation Boulevard at Rosecrans Avenue: With the at -grade
improvements identified in the Rosecrans Corridor Strategic Initiative, Phase 2, the LOS for all
three FAR alternatives would be F. The Rosecrans Corridor project recommends a grade -
separated intersection as a long -term solution.
Intersection Number 19, Sepulveda Boulevard at Imperial Highway: LOS E, but not LOS D,
can be achieved for all three FAR alternatives, with maximum improvements within the limits for
number of lanes described above. For all three FAR alternatives, the ICU value would be 0.99 or
1.00 in the morning peak hour and 0 93 or 0.94 in the afternoon peak hour.
Intersection Number 22, Sepulveda Boulevard at Grand Avenue: LOS D can be achieved for
the FAR =0.8 alternative. With maximum improvements within the limits for number of lanes
described above, LOS D can be achieved for the FAR =1.0 and FAR =1 3 alternatives in the
morning peak hour but not in the afternoon. For the FAR =1.0 and FAR =1.3 alternatives, the
afternoon peak hourly ICU would be 0.94 and 0.92, respectively.
Intersection Number 23, Sepulveda Boulevard at El Segundo Boulevard: LOS D can be
achieved for the FAR =0.8 and FAR =1.0 alternatives. With maximum improvements within the
limits for number of lanes described above, LOS E, but not LOS D, can be achieved for the
FAR= 1.3 alternative, with ICU values of 0.91 and 0 92 in the morning and afternoon peak hours,
respectively.

EXHIBIT A
number of lanes described above, LOS E, but not LOS D, can be achieved in the afternoon peak
hour for the FAR =1.3 alternative, with an ICU value of 0.91 in the afternoon peak hour.
Intersection Number 55, Rosecrans Avenue at Highland Avenue/Vista del Mar: LOS D can
be achieved for the FAR =0.8 alternative by the elirrunation of a few parking spaces on the
northbound approach to create a short right turn lane. With this improvement, LOS E, but not
LOS D, can be achieved for the FAR =1.0 and FAR =1.3 alternatives in the afternoon peak hour,
with ICU values of 0.91 and 0.96 for the two alternatives, respectively.
SUMMARY
The results generally indicate that traffic volume and LOS differences amongst the three FAR alternatives
are relatively small. Improvements will be needed to maintain satisfactory LOS for any of the
alternatives. In many cases, the improvements needed for the FAR =0.8 alternative will be sufficient to
maintain satisfactory LOS for the more intensive FAR alternatives There are some exceptions, as noted.
The implementation of many of the improvements needed would likely necessitate right-of-way
acquisition. Improvements at intersections along Sepulveda Boulevard will require extensive
coordination with Caltrans, the City of Manhattan Beach, the City of Los Angeles, and Los Angeles
World Airports. Interagency coordination will be needed for improvements at other intersections, as well.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 08, 2003
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Unfinished Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action regarding a status report and overview of the Residential
Sound Insulation (RSI) Program.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Review and file; 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
The City has successfully completed sound insulation work on 186 residential units within
the City of El Segundo. Construction work has been completed on 15 of the 49 units in the
current Bid Group. Work is nearly complete on the remaining 34 residences, with the
remaining minor issues expected to be resolved by mid - October. With the completion of
these residences, the City will have successfully completed work on 220 homes.
Plans and specifications are under a final review by staff for another 72 residences, which
staff expects to be ready to advertise for bid for contractors as two bid groups in early
November.
The current waiting list of applicants is comprised of 221 addresses (not including the 72
residences to be included in the next two bid groups) and represents 309 residences when
multi - family dwellings are factored. Staff expects FAA grant funding to allow for 100
residences to be treated each year, and residences will be pulled from the waiting list in
priority order, based on the priority zone map. This prioritization allows residents who are
most heavily impacted by the noise generated by air traffic at LAX to receive treatment first,
and it should be noted that a new applicant submitting an application for a residence in a
higher priority zone will be given an opportunity to receive treatment ahead of an existing
applicant on file. Within each zone, however, the waiting list is prioritized in the order
applications were received.

Abatement Committee regarding the LAX Master Plan.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
The City's Committee on Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement ( ASNAC) requests that their

The LAX Master Plan Advisory Commission ( LAXMAC) is in the process of reviewing the Los

committees as well as the public on all aspects of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The
ASNAC position will provide valuable input for the Commission. It is recommended that the
ASNAC comments be presented or forwarded to the LAXMAC Chair. As the official body

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 8, 2003
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action to adopt a resolution from the League of California Cities
supporting a statewide ballot measure to allow voters to decide whether local tax funds may be
used for state government operations.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Adopt resolution; 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
At the Annual Conference held earlier this month in Sacramento, the League of California
Cities unanimously approved a resolution supporting a statewide ballot initiative to limit the
ability of the state government to use local tax funds for statewide operations. The reductions
and threatened reductions to local government revenues related to the State's ongoing budget
crisis have been well documented. Over the years, the League of California Cities has sought
various mechanisms aimed at reducing the unilateral power of the Legislature to use those
revenues. Recent polling figures indicate that voters may be inclined to support a measure to
protect local government revenues, and League has decided to move forward.
Attached is a resolution stating the City of El Segundo's support of an initiative that would
appear on the November 2004 statewide ballot to protect local government revenues. The
measure would allow voters to decide whether the Legislature has the power to appropriate
local tax funds to fund state government operations.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING A STATEWIDE BALLOT INITIATIVE TO REQUIRE
VOTER APPROVAL BEFORE STATE GOVERNMENT
MAY TAKE LOCAL TAX FUNDS
The City Council resolves as follows:
Section 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. State government annually seizes over $800 million in city property tax
funds (ERAF) statewide, costing cities over $6.0 billion in lost revenues
over the past 12 years and seriously reducing resources available for local
public safety and other services; and
B. In adopting the state budget this year the Legislature and Governor
appropriated local vehicle license fee backfill and redevelopment property
tax funds that are needed to finance critical city services such as public
safety, parks, street maintenance, housing and economic development;
and
C. The deficit financing plan in the state budget depends on a local property
and sales tax swap that leaves city services vulnerable if the state's
economic condition fails to improve; and
D. The adopted state budget assumes an ongoing structural budget deficit of
at least $8 billion, putting city resources and services at risk in future years
to additional state revenue raids; and
E. It is clear that state leaders will continue to use local tax funds to balance
the state budget unless the voters limit the power of the Legislature and
Governor to do so; and
F. The General Assembly of Voting Delegates of the League of California
Cities at its September 10, 2003 meeting voted to sponsor a statewide
ballot initiative to empower the voters to limit the ability of state
government to confiscate local tax funds to fund state government; and
G. The league has requested that cities offer support for a November 2004
ballot initiative that will allow voters to decide whether state government
may appropriate local tax funds to fund state government operations and
responsibilities.
Section 2: The City Council of the City of El Segundo expresses its support for a
statewide ballot initiative to allow voters to decide whether local tax funds may be taken,
confiscated, shifted, diverted or otherwise used to fund state government operations
and responsibilities.
Section 3: The City Clerk is directed to send a copy of the Executive Director of the
League of California Cities.
Section 4: The City Clerk will certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution;
shall enter the same in the book of original Resolutions of the City; and shall make a
record of proceedings of the City Council in the Minutes of the Meeting at which same is
passed and adopted.
Section 5: This Resolution will take effect immediately upon adoption.

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (continued)
Due to a cash flow concern, the contractor is requesting payment for the items in Change
Order No. 1 at this time.
In plan check, it was determined that more intense soil testing be made. As a result of the
analysis, caissons were added for the support of the deck ($14,550). The layout length of
the irrigation system increased due to obstructions that were not visible at the time design
was completed ($7,000). Construction was halted for two (2) days when it was determined
that an oil pipeline would be impacted by the construction. The design plan was adjusted
and construction commenced. This delay of work amounted to $3,101.89.
Lastly, the installation of an ADA ramp located closer to the project was built at a cost of
$1,500. The total amount of this change order is $26,151.89.

20031007 — Annual Purchase Order Contract
Single- Source Basis with Blue Diamond Industries r� 13
671
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
There are only two (2) local vendors that supply asphalt paving materials: Blue Diamond
Industries and Vulcan Materials Company. A cost comparison shows that Blue Diamond
Industries has lower prices than Vulcan Materials — 3/4' hot mix at a cost of $32.25/ton
versus $34.00 /ton. In the past, Blue Diamond Industries has provided satisfactory service
and response.
Blue Diamond Industries' two (2) distribution plants are located six (6) and ten (10) miles
from El Segundo. The Vulcan Materials Company's distribution plant is nineteen (19) miles
from El Segundo. City staff drive vehicles to these locations to pick up asphalt and
materials.
Staff recommends issuing an annual purchase order contract, renewable for up to three (3)
years, with Blue Diamond Industries and approval of this single- source purchase order
contract for the following reasons:
1. Safety of staff by driving reduced miles to retrieve asphalt and materials.
2. Availability of materials — two (2) plants versus one (1).
3. Lower cost of materials.

Station No. 1 dorm area, the front office of the Maintenance Facilities Building, and the
Recreation Park Check -Out Building indicates that zone temperature control systems are
required for each area. This control system will allow more specific heating and cooling to
smaller areas thereby increasing occupant comfort and increasing system efficiency.

STAFF REPORT- October 8, 2003 Page 2
Based on the interviews with CAJA and the submitted proposals, staff recommends that the
contract be awarded to Christopher A. Joseph & Associates as the firm most capable of
carrying out the objectives of the project. Staff also recommends the retention of CAJA based
upon their knowledge of the subject property and their proven ability to complete such projects
in a timely manner. The firm and the project managers who will lead the consultant team have
experience working on large mixed -use and industrial re -use projects throughout the Los
Angeles area and have worked on large projects within El Segundo, most recently on the Los
Angeles Air Force Base and El Segundo Corporate Campus projects. Staff has worked with
the firm before and is confident of their ability to successfully complete the EIR in the time
frame requested by staff.
The developer had originally approached the City with the concept of developing 86 acres of
land located at the Northeast corner of Sepulveda Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue. Due
primarily to potential uncharacterized soils contamination and acquisition issues relating to
properties owned by General Chemical on the southern portion of the property and H. Kramer
Company at the east end of the property, the developer of the project recently informed the
City of its desire to reduce the scope of the proposed project to just include approximately 37
acres owned by Honeywell International north of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. The
developer believes that the uncharacterized contamination makes the near term development
of the properties south of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks uncertain. The project applicant
has stated it will seek a General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan and Development Agreement
to allow for commercial and retail uses on the 37 acre site.
Staff thinks it would be preferable that the entire 86 acres should be master planned at one
time. Master planning the site will more likely result in better integrated land uses and
infrastructure improvements. Additionally, preparing a master plan for the area will assist in
determining the best financing methods that may be utilized for purposes of funding the
significant infrastructure improvements that are needed in the area. Since staff was informed
by the developer a few weeks ago that the developer desired to reduce the scope of the
project, staff has been meeting with the developer to attempt to determine a way to master
plan the area. This issue has not been resolved yet and the staff would like to spend a few
more weeks exploring options with the developer. Consequently, staff recommends that the
Council approve two alternative scopes of work at this time with the understanding that only
the reduced project will be studied if it is determined that a master plan will not be pursued
because the land control and environmental issues prevent a full EIR analysis. The ultimate
project to be studied in the EIR would be defined before the issuance of the Notice of
Preparation of the EIR. Despite the final decision on the scope of the project, it is imperative
that a "backbone" of land uses and services (such as roads and utilities) be developed for the
entire area at some point in the future.
CAJA has prepared a revised scope of work and budget for the preparation of an EIR for the
smaller project that the developer is proposing. Most of the costs of preparing an EIR are not
directly related to the size of the project, but related to the different environmental issues that
need to be addressed. In this case, since the environmental issues remain the same whether
studying the larger or smaller project, there would be very little costs savings for the
preparation of an EIR for the smaller project according to CAJA. In the long run, the costs
would be higher for the developer if the remainder of the properties were developed and a

second full EIR were required
Page 3
Staff is also recommending that Council approve an additional contingency budget of a
maximum of ten percent ($22,800.00 for the larger project or $21,800 for the smaller project)
of the contract amount (to be paid by the project applicant) that staff can be authorized to
expend for any unanticipated additional analysis beyond the Scope of Services contained in
the proposed contract. The total of the contract and contingency equals $251,100.00 for the
larger project and $239,700 for the smaller project
Finally, staff recommends that before the contract with CAJA is executed, the developer be
required to enter into a contract with the City that obligates the developer to pay for all of the
costs associated with the preparation of the CEQA and entitlement documents. The contract
will require the developer to submit 25 percent of the full amount of the contract for the larger
project at the beginning of the project ($62,000). Additional payments of 25 percent each
($63,000) would be due when 25 %, 50 % and 75% of the contract costs respectively, have
been invoiced to the City. The funds would be placed in a trust deposit account, which would
be used to pay CAJA as their invoices are submitted. Any unused funds would be returned to
the applicant upon completion of the EIR. Staff also recommends that award of the contract be
contingent upon the developer agreeing to reimburse the City for the legal expenses that will
be incurred by the City Attorney's Office with respect to services rendered for the project.

II. SCOPE OF WORK
UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT
The proposed project consists of reuse of an industrial site located at the southern edge of El Segundo,
adjacent to the City of Manhattan Beach. The project site is held in multiple ownerships and has been
used for industrial activities for over 80 years. Various activities, including certain activities involving
the use of hazardous and toxic materials, have taken place on the site over this time frame. A Union
Pacific railroad line bisects the site and a BNSF railroad line runs along the southeastern edge of the
site. Two large storm water retention basins are located in the central portion of the site. Remediation
activities related to conditions of contamination related to previous uses are presently underway under
the regulatory supervision of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Additional remediation
activities may be undertaken in the future as additional characterization and risk assessment studies are
completed. A large portion of the project site has been the subject of extensive studies related to
hazardous materials in the recent past. However, one site presently owned by a chemical company has
not been subjected to hazardous materials site assessments.
The proposed projeci would result in the conversion of the project site from industrial to commercial
uses. Primary commercial uses on the site under the proposed project would be retail, with some
business park uses potentially included. While the UP rail line would remain in place, the BNSF spur
would potentially be relocated and the retention basins would be re- configured under the project,
possibly to include public recreational facilities. The extension of Park Place through the project site to
Sepulveda would also be included in the project to serve as a bypass to congested Rosecrans Avenue.
Development of the project site would be governed by a Specific Plan that is being developed by the
project applicant. Surrounding land uses include commercial and industrial uses in the City of El
Segundo and commercial and residential uses to the south in the City of Manhattan Beach.
To provide a comprehensive solution to the complex needs of this undertaking, CAJA has assembled a
team of top professionals to separately address the environmental aspects of this project. The CAJA
team would propose to coordinate, in conjunction with City staff, with the project applicant and his
planning consultant, with whom CAJA has worked closely in the recent past, to refine and finalize the
project description in a form that affords the developer with the appropriate level of flexibility in
responding to changes in conditions which may affect development of the project site in the future.
Preparation of the EIR would be undertaken per the requirements of CEQA and would also be designed
to provide flexibility to the City and the developer in adapting the plan to meet changing requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES TO BE ANALYZED IN EIR
Our approach is designed to provide a thorough level of analysis capable of accommodating extensive
public input and withstanding the rigorous scrutiny that this project could conceivably attract. Based on
Proposal to Prepare EIR for Honeywell Project Page II -I
City of El Segundo Scope of Work 0 9 w
Christopher A Joseph & Associates
August 6, 2003
a survey of the project site and review of the RFP, CAJA would propose to analyze the following
environmental issues in detail in the Honeywell Project EIR:
• Transportation/Traffic
• Air Quality
• Noise
• Biological Resources
• Geology and Soils
• Hydrology /Water Quality
• Land Use and Planning
• Aesthetics
• Public Services
• Recreation
• Utility and Service Systems
• Hazards and Hazardqus Materials
Remaining issues, which do not rise to the level of significant impacts, would be addressed through
completion of a comprehensive Initial Study to create a complete record of the City's environmental
decision - making. To the extent the City were to modify the proposed scope of the EIR, CAJA can
provide expertise to address additional technical issues which may arise.
SCOPE OF WORK TO PREPARE THE EIR
Because it is expected that the Honeywell Project EIR will be scrutinized by affected parties, adjacent
residents and surrounding communities, it is important that the potential environmental effects of the
project be fully analyzed. Although any EIR can be challenged, a comprehensive approach using
appropriately conservative assumptions is likely to withstand any legal challenge that might be raised.
The EIR must respond directly to issues raised by responsible agencies and community organizations.
An EIR that provides thoughtful and well- documented responses to issues raised during the
environmental review process is the best means of allowing applicants to proceed with their projects in
the most expeditious manner.
In order to assure that the resulting EIR is both analytically correct and legally defensible, the CAJA
Team will prepare a comprehensive and factual EIR that addresses existing conditions, project impacts,
mitigation measures, cumulative impacts and alternatives to the project, along with a complete Initial
Study which provides full justification for the City of El Segundo to conclude that remaining issues not
specifically addressed in the EIR would not be significant. The EIR will be prepared based on the
standards and requirements of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of El Segundo. The
EIR will be prepared to meet the exacting standards of quality employed by CAJA in the preparation of
our previous EIRs throughout Southern California.
Proposal to Prepare EIR for Honeywell Project Page H -2 093
City of El Segundo Scope of Work
Chnstopher A. Joseph & Associates August 6, 2003
The following tasks would be performed by the CAM team to prepare an EIR for the Honeywell
Project, and would commence as soon as an EIR project description has been developed and agreed to
by the City and developer.
Task 1: Review of Existing Information
CAM will review existing information from all previous environmental reviews and pertinent
documentation and analyze to determine issues, findings and problem resolutions that could be relevant
to the EIR. A concerted effort will be made to utilize and incorporate as much existing data as possible
into the EIR.
Task 2: Preparation of a Draft Initial Study
The Initial Study consists'of a checklist which is used to identify areas where the proposed project could
potentially result in environmental impacts as well as areas where the proposed project has no potential
to result in impacts_ CAM will prepare a Draft Initial Study for the proposed project utilizing the
City's Initial Study Checklist. The Initial Study will be comprised of a completed checklist and detailed
responses to all questions, with particular emphasis given to responses where the impact is not
significant and the response provided will serve as the primary record of the City's determination that
the impact is not significant. The Initial Study is also a valuable tool in refining the scope of the EIR
and identifying any required technical reports for the proposed project.
Task 3: Notices and EIR Scoping
CEQA includes prescribed noticing requirements to inform the public and other cognizant agencies that
documentation is being prepared for a project. CAM will prepare the Notice of Preparation (NOP)
required by CEQA for the proposed project in the format used by City and will circulate it to all
identified commenting agencies and interested parties. The NOP will include a map of the project site,
a brief description of the proposed project, and a preliminary list of the environmental effects to be
evaluated in the EIR.
A finalized scope for the Draft EIR will be defined after all comments on the NOP have been received
and the scoping meetings are concluded. CAM will work with the City to determine if the comments
expand the scope of work or require additional technical sections to be included in the EIR. The Initial
Study, Notice of Preparation and all correspondence received in response to the NOP will be attached
as an Appendix to the Draft EIR.

City of El Segundo Scope of Work 094
Christopher A. Joseph & Associates August 6, 2003
CAJA will also circulate all other required public notices including the Notice of Completion and
Notice of Determination.
Task 4: Preparation of Administrative Draft EIR
An Administrative Draft EIR would be prepared for review by the City. This subsection outlines the
major sections which would be included in the Administrative Draft EIR.
4.1 SUMMARY
A tabular summary will be included as the first section of the EIR. The Summary will include an
Introduction, Statement of Purpose and Need, Description of the Proposed Project and Alternatives,
and a tabular summary of expected environmental effects. In addition, a brief executive summary will
also be prepared as a separate document, and would consist of a short description and background of
the proposed project, as *ell as a listing of the environmental impact findings, recommended mitigation
measures, and a summary evaluation of alternatives.
4.2 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The Introduction section of the EIR will include a narrative on the background of the EIR process,
statement of purpose and need, development of the proposed project and alternatives and a short
summation of the environmental review and project approval process. The environmental setting will
provide a physical description of the project site and the surrounding area. Existing improvements and
land uses will be described.
The environmental setting will also provide a physical description of the project site and the
surrounding area. A discussion and tabular list of related projects /cumulative development will be
presented, and the location of such development will be plotted on an area map. A related projects
"list- based" approach [CEQA Guidelines, Section 15130(b)(1)(A)] will be used to analyze the potential
cumulative impacts of the proposed project in conjunction with other projected growth in the area.
4.3 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
The project description will provide a detailed narrative and graphical presentation of the provisions of
the project, including proposed improvements and architectural plans. The project description will
include a qualitative and graphical description of the project location and boundaries including regional
and vicinity maps and aerial photos. For CEQA purposes, the project description will also include a
statement of project objectives to be developed in conjunction with the City.

Christopher A Joseph & Associates August 6, 2003
4.4 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING, IMPACTS AND MITIGATION
As an introduction to this section of the EIR, each environmental impact area determined not to have a
potentially significant impact on the environment, as identified in the Initial Study described above, will
be listed, with an accompanying discussion of the reasons for the determination.
Each of the areas of potential impact will describe the existing conditions, environmental impact after
development of the proposed project and alternatives, recommended mitigation measures, net
unmitigated environmental impact after project development, and cumulative impact.
Existing Conditions. Analysis of the existing environmental setting is necessary in order to compare
those conditions to any changes created and produced by the proposed project, and to identify any
significant environmental effects of the proposed project. For purposes of environmental analysis
within the EIR, the environmental setting is defined as the physical conditions in the affected area as
they exist at the time the Notice of Preparation is published (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15126.2,
revised October 26, 1998).
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Project. Each of the environmental subject areas would be
evaluated to determine impact significance. Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
a significant impact is defined as a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in the physical
environment. The specific criteria or threshold of significance for determining the significance of a
particular impact would be identified in conjunction with the City prior to the impact discussion in each
issue section, and would be consistent with the new criteria set forth in the revised CEQA Guidelines.
Mitigation Measures. Where applicable, mitigation measures would be presented in each respective
environmental subject area in the following classification scheme:
• Mitigation Measures required to reduce an identified significant impact to a less -than-
significant level.
• Specific Plan Mitigation Measures, mitigations that are recommended as policies in the
Specific Plan that would reduce or avoid significant environmental impacts.
• Non - Required Measures, mitigations that are recommended (but not required) to further
enhance environmental conditions within the project and the surrounding locale, and
which can reduce an identified non - significant impact.
• Code - Required Measures required by local, regional, state and /or federal regulations
and statutes which must be imposed as conditions of project approval. Such code -
required measures would be listed even though they are not necessarily required to
reduce identified impacts.
Proposal to Prepare EIR for Honeywell Project Page H -5 096
City of El Segundo Scope of work
Christopher A Joseph & Associates August 6, 2003
Level of Impact After Mitigation. A clear, concise statement of the level of impact after the inclusion
of mitigation measures will be presented. Net impacts will be defined as either "significant," or "less
than significant. "
Cumulative Impact. The project's cumulative impacts in conjunction with identified related
development/cumulative growth within and possibly outside the City of El Segundo. Related projects
outside the City that might be included are the Playa Vista Development and the LAX Master Plan, as
well as anticipated future development projects in the Cities of Hawthorne and Manhattan Beach. It
will be noted throughout the cumulative impact discussions that such impacts generally represent a
worst -case scenario (higher than would be expected) because impact projections for related projects are
for the most part calculated without subtracting (netting out) existing uses on related project sites.
Moreover, it is assumed for analytical purposes that all related projects would be approved and
developed within the time frame of the proposed project. In addition, each related project would likely
be subject to unspecified mitigation measures, which would also reduce cumulative impacts.
4.5 ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT
CAJA will prepare an analysis of alternatives to the proposed project. This proposal assumes up to five
alternatives to be analyzed in the EIR (includes No Project Alternative). Such alternatives may include:
• No Project Existing Conditions)
• Reduced Project
• Alternate Uses (e.g., industrial)
• Alternative Site Plan Configurations (i.e., roadway, railroad realignment, retention
basin location)
The requirements for these analyses are based on the "rule of reason" as dictated by the California
Environmental Quality Act and reflect the needs of each particular project. Specific alternative
schemes will be determined upon consultation with City staff. It is noted that several recent court cases
have been decided in California that can affect the scope of project alternatives in EIRs. The resulting
court decisions have made the alternatives analyses in EIRs more vulnerable to legal challenges which,
in turn, has changed the standards of adequacy for such analysis. The reasoning behind the rejection of
alternatives is typically based on the inability of the alternatives to meet the project objectives.
4.6 OTHER EIR SECTIONS
The EIR will also include the following required sections:
• Summary of Unavoidable Significant Adverse Impacts
Proposal to Prepare EIR for Honeywell Project Page II -6 (`, 7
City of El Segundo Scope of Work v `
Christopher A Joseph & Associates August 6, 2003
• Growth Inducing Impacts
• Organizations and Persons Consulted
• Report Preparation Personnel
CAJA will submit five copies of the Administrative Draft EIR to the City for review.
Task 5: Revision of the Administrative Draft EIR
Typical agency review involves a maximum of two drafts of the Administrative Draft EIR. The first
Administrative Draft EIR would receive the most extensive comments, with the subsequent draft
requiring fewer comments. The review and correction cycle continues until the City has approved the
Administrative Draft EIR for publication as a Draft EIR for public circulation.
Task 6: Productidn and Circulation of the Draft EIR
When the City has approved the Administrative Draft EIR for release as a Draft EIR, CAJA will print
75 copies of the Draft EIR and its Technical Appendices. CAJA will also provide the City with a
camera ready original, a PDF version for web - posting and a Microsoft Word version of the document
on CD. CAJA will also be responsible for the circulation of the Draft EIR to the State Clearinghouse,
identified commenting agencies and interested parties. In addition, CAJA will prepare and circulate the
Notice of Completion for the Draft EIR.
Task 7: Preparation of the Final EIR
The Draft EIR will be circulated to the public for a minimum of 45 days. Following the closure of the
public comment period, CAJA will prepare and submit five copies of the Administrative Final EIR to
the City. The Final EIR will consist of a summary, corrections, additions, and responses to comments
to the EIR. Each comment received on the Draft EIR will be responded to in the Final EIR. The
extent of work necessary to complete the Final EIR is contingent upon the amount and nature of
comments that are received after the Draft EIR is circulated. For the purposes of this proposal, based
upon previous experience with EIRs for projects of this type in the City, it is assumed that a workload of
approximately 200 hours would be required to complete the Final EIR. This would accommodate a
moderate to heavy response to the Draft EIR. Should responses to comments exceed the anticipated
workload, additional hours would be billed on a time and materials basis, with prior approval of the
City.
Proposal to Prepare EIR for Honeywell Project Page I/ -7 ()
City of El Segundo Scope of Work v
Chnstopher A. Joseph & Associates August 6, 2003
CAJA will begin preparation of the Final EIR immediately after circulation of the Draft EIR
commences. During the time the Draft EIR is being circulated for public comment, the summary and
corrections and additions sections of the Final EIR will be prepared. Written comments on the Draft
EIR will be responded to as soon as they are forwarded to CAJA by the lead agencies. It is anticipated
that some comments will be received before the end of the public circulation period and that responses
to these comments could be prepared immediately upon receipt.
CAJA will make changes to the Administrative Final EIR following its review by the City. When the
City has approved the Administrative Final EIR for release as the Final EIR, CAJA will print 50 copies
of the Final EIR and circulate them to all appropriate agencies and individuals. In addition, CAJA will
provide a camera ready original, PDF version for web posting and Word CD to the City. CAJA will
also prepare and file the Notice of Determination when the EIR has been certified by the City Council.
Task 8: Project Coordination/Public Participation
Successful preparAoq of the EIR will require effective communication between the City and the EIR
consultant. CAJA's "experience in managing other projects of similar scale and complexity has shown
that regular working meetings provide this type of communication. Attendance at various public
hearings will also be required as a part of the EIR process. CAJA has budgeted for a total of 35
meetings or hearings for all purposes over the course of the EIR process. Attendance at additional
meetings or hearings would be billed on a time and materials basis. Time has also been included for
meeting attendance for the traffic and biological resources consultants.
Task 9: Mitigation Monitoring Program
After the Final EIR has been completed, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will be
prepared for adoption by the City Council as part of the certification process. This CEQA - required
plan must be organized around City policies and procedures. The mitigation monitoring and reporting
program will list (1) project mitigation measures, (2) correlate the mitigation measures to the various
governmental actions that the implementation of the project will require and (3) identify the City and /or
other governmental offices or departments that should monitor the execution of the mitigations. The
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will also establish specific reporting requirements,
enforcement procedures and penalties, reporting forms, and periodic monitoring schedules, consistent
with the established procedures of the City. A Draft Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
will be prepared for review by City staff, and a final Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
will be prepared that incorporates City changes. This document will be available in a timely fashion for
inclusion in the staff report prepared for the Planning Commission and City Council as part of the
project approval and EIR certification process in the City.

Chnstopher A. Joseph & Associates August 6, 2003
Task 10: Statement of Facts and Findings
Prior to consideration of the proposed project and certification of the Final EIR, CAJA will prepare the
Statement of Facts and Findings for any significant environmental effects identified in the EIR. The
Findings will individually identify the significant environmental effects of the proposed project and
provide a reasoned discussion of the appropriate findings of the Lead Agency.
Task 11: Statement of Overriding Considerations
Prior to consideration of the proposed project and certification of the Final EIR, CAJA will prepare the
Statement of Overriding Considerations (if required). The Statement of Overriding Considerations
would describe why the benefits of the project outweigh its significant unavoidable effects, if such
effects are identified by the EIR.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES TO BE ANALYZED IN THE EIR
Based on a survey of the project site, and review of the RFP, CAJA would propose to analyze the
following environmental issues in detail in the Honeywell Project EIR:
• Land Use and Planning
• Transportation/Traffic
• Air Quality
• Noise
• Biological Resources
• Geology and Soils
• Hydrology/Water Quality
• Aesthetics
Public Services
• Recreation
• Utility and Service Systems
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The following pages provide a summary of the content and technical approach for each environmental
impact category which would be analyzed in the Honeywell Project EIR:

City of El Segundo Scope of Work
Chnstopher A. Joseph & Associates
Land Use and Planning
August 6, 2003
CAJA will evaluate the proposed Specific Plan for compliance and consistency with established plans,
policies and regulations, including the City of El Segundo General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. This
section will be supplemented with graphic displays of existing and proposed land use and zoning in the
project locale as well as tabular comparisons of the project's compliance. The Specific Plan will also
be evaluated for compatibility with the existing and future land use patterns in the project locale. The
project's functional and physical compatibility with surrounding uses will also be analyzed, taking
particular note of the residential uses located in the City of Manhattan Beach to the south..
Transportation /Traffic
Crain & Associates will prepare a project traffic study addressing project traffic impacts at up to 20
study intersections. The project traffic study will include the following tasks:
Scoping Meeting with City of El Segundo Staff -- Meet with the City's traffic engineering
representatives to scope and develop the project traffic study parameters. This will be
accomplished within approximately the first two weeks of the official authorization to proceed.
We will also briefly consult with other jurisdictions and agencies such as Federal agencies, if
needed.
Project Traffic Study -- Prepare a project traffic study based on the scoping requirements. This
study will include but not be limited to the following:
• Environmental /transportation setting, including field survey observations;
• Description of study area street system and available public transit serving the area;
• Existing weekday AM and PM peak -hour traffic count information (up to 20
study intersections included). Count data from the Circulation Element Update
will be used wherever possible. New traffic count data at up to eight
intersection locations is included in the cost estimate;
• Calculate existing levels of traffic service at study intersections;
• Forecast of future year traffic conditions in the study area;
• Traffic generation using appropriate trip generation rates, trip distribution and
trip assignment for project traffic;
• Capacity and level of service calculations at up to 20 study intersections to
determine incremental impacts of the proposed project. Future conditions with
the project will include pedestrian and bicycle linkages and the extension of

City of El Segundo Scope of Work 1
Christopher A. Joseph & Associates
August 6, 2003
Park Place from its current westerly termination at Nash Street to Sepulveda
Boulevard;
• Determination of potential traffic impacts of the proposed project;
• Research of related projects in study area, and analysis of cumulative traffic
peak hour impacts for the future study year;
• Research and develop applicable Los Angeles County Congestion Management
Program (CMP) traffic analysis;
• Discussion of project access, circulation and parking issues
• Recommendations and conclusions, including any necessary traffic mitigation
and;
• Determination of the effectiveness of potential traffic mitigation measures.
If significant impacted intersections occur at the "edge" of the study area, additional study intersections
may be requested'bx the reviewing agencies. If additional study intersections are required by the
agencies, we will submit the appropriate supplemental proposal to the City.
EIR Preparation Assistance -- We will perform the following tasks to assist with preparation of
the EIR:
Transmit the traffic study in machine form for use in preparation of the
transportation section by others;
• Review the transportation section for technical accuracy;
• Provide peak hour and daily volumes at up to 8 segments to be used in other
sections; and
• Prepare draft responses to comments for up to 30 transportation comments not
requiring additional analysis.
If additional tasks are requested, such as preparing conceptual designs of mitigation measures, revisions
due to change in the scope of the project, or extensive negotiations with the adjacent jurisdictions
and/or regional /Federal agencies, we would be pleased to provide those services. Separate estimates of
costs for each of those tasks or other tasks that the City may request can be provided.
Air Quality
The following scope of work would be undertaken by CAJA to complete the air quality analysis:
Proposal to Prepare EIR for Honeywell Project Page 11 -11
City of El Segundo Scope of Work 102
Christopher A. Joseph & Associates
August 6, 20103
Characterize Existing Conditions. This task will involve compiling historical data from the
nearest air pollutant monitoring station. The number of exceedances of State and Federal Ambient
Air Quality standards will be documented. Existing ambient background carbon monoxide
concentrations using either the CAL3QHC or CALINE 4 dispersion models. Sensitive locations
will be identified for purposes of establishing existing CO "hot spot" conditions in the local project
vicinity. CO concentration measured in parts per million will be calculated for the one -hour and
eight -hour periods and compared with State standards. To provide a regional context, the most
recent attainment and non - attainment status designations from the California Air Resources Board
(CARE) will be discussed.
Assess Construction Impacts. Based on construction phasing scenario provided by the project
applicant, short-term air quality effects associated with construction of the proposed project will be
estimated. The analysis will seek to define the worst -case phase and will consider construction
activities associated with site grading and excavation, foundations, building erection and finishing.
Using the SCAQMD guidelines as well as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA)
AP42 emissions tractor document, all applicable sources of air emissions for each phase of the
construction process will be combined into a total area source emission rate. Emissions from the
construction site will be quantified on a daily and quarterly basis in pounds per day and tons per
quarter, respectively. These emissions will be compared with daily and quarterly emissions
thresholds established by the SCAQMD to determine the potential for significant impacts.
Prepare Operations Phase Impact Analysis. The operational air quality assessment will be
prepared to satisfy the requirements of the SCAQMD. Specific analysis will include:
Daily Emissions. Mobile emission rates will utilize the most recent EMFAC 2002 series factors
required by SCAQMD. Mobile emissions rates will be applied to vehicle miles of travel statistics
available from the traffic study.
Carbon Monoxide Hot Spots. The roadside carbon monoxide analysis will be conducted in
accordance with the procedures established by US EPA and SCAQMD in the carbon monoxide
modeling protocol document. Specific attention will be given to two classes of roadway
intersections. First, analytical priority will be given to intersections that would be expected to
operate at LOS E or F. Second, intersections that would be adjacent to sensitive land uses. The
CAL3QHC or CALINE 4 microcomputer carbon monoxide dispersion model will be used at
intersections that may be substantially affected by the project.
Identify Mitigation Measures. Mitigation measures will be identified that would either eliminate
or substantially reduce any identified air quality impacts. Mitigation measures will be selected to
ensure that performance standards are met and that the measures are feasible and enforceable.
Measures will address both short-term and long -term aspects of the project.

Christopher A. Joseph & Associates August 6, 2003
Noise
The following scope of work would be undertaken by CAJA to complete the noise analysis:
A noise level profile will be created for the project area. The specific focus of the noise profile
will be to characterize daytime, evening, and nighttime noise levels. Existing levels will be
compared with ANSI and State Office of Noise Control land use compatibility standards.
To supplement existing noise data sources, CAJA will conduct field measurements using a Type
II sound level meter capable of out - putting a printed record and time histograms. Measurements
will be conducted during the peak travel hour and off peak periods to assist in characterization of
noise level variations in the project vicinity throughout the day.
Assess Construction Impacts. Based on construction phasing scenario provided by the project
applicant, the short-term noise effects associated with construction of the proposed project will be
estimated. The analysis will seek to define the worst -case phase and will consider construction
activities associated with demolition, site grading and excavation, foundations, building erection
and finishing.
Using the City noise ordinance as a reference, noise levels from the various phases of
construction will be assessed to determine whether the change in sound level at the nearest
adjacent sensitive receptor locations exceeds threshold criteria. Construction equipment noise
will be estimated using U.S. EPA source documents as well as actual field measurements of
special pieces of equipment or activities as necessary. The specific emphasis of the construction
noise impact assessment will be to determine whether the incremental change in noise due to
construction would be considered significant. As a benchmark to establish a baseline condition to
which noise from construction activity will be added, noise measurements will be taken in the
area surrounding the construction site. At a minimum, noise measurement periods will include
early morning hours, mid- morning, afternoon, and early evening time periods. A Type II
integrating sound level meter will be used for this purpose. Printed output from the sound meter
will be used to document findings. Impacts on adjacent residential uses will be assessed.
Operational Noise Sources. To address the impact of traffic noise after the project is occupied,
the Caltrans Sound 32 microcomputer model will be used in conjunction with traffic volume
estimates from the traffic study to simulate the added noise from local roadways.
Ambient/existing noise conditions will be established through a representative sound - monitoring
program in the project vicinity. In addition, impacts from potential operational stationary noise
sources (i.e., ventilation equipment, loading docks, etc.) on nearby sensitive receptors will be
evaluated.

Identify Mitigation Measures. Mitigation measures will be identified that would either eliminate
or substantially reduce any identified noise impacts. Mitigation measures will be selected to
ensure that performance standards are met and that the measures are feasible and enforceable.
Measures will address both short-term and long -term aspects of the project.
Biological Resources
TERACOR Resource Management will undertake the following scope of work:
Assemble Baseline Information
In accordance with our understanding of pending development options and site conditions
associated with the 86 acre parcel assemblage, TERACOR will assemble an overview of the
biological resources present immediately adjacent to and on the project site. We will inventory
floral and faunal species, both observed as well as those determined likely to be present. We will
review recent aerial and available historic aerial photography of the property to assess existing
conditions and historic alterations. Field personnel will photo - document ground conditions as we
encounter them Based on this information, we will construct a biological resource profile of the
property, including overall resource value, suitability to support rare species based on habitat
conditions, extent of weed invasion, presence of native plant communities, non -native or
ornamental vegetation, prior disturbance and other conditions which would define the biological
condition of the site.
TERACOR will carefully reference the California Natural Diversity Database ( CNDDB) and the
CNPS Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California to determine the range of
sensitive species known to occur in the general area. An initial query of the CNDDB indicates
that 39 sensitive organisms are recorded on the USGS Venice Topographic Quadrangle•, which
suggests some possibility of occurrence in remnant open habitats such as that present on the
Honeywell parcel assemblage. We will also review background reports for other similar
properties which are available for review at the City of El Segundo which document the flora and
fauna known to be present in the area.
Prepare a Biological Assessment
TERACOR will prepare a biological assessment of development site and any affected areas as
outlined by the City of El Segundo. The assessment will include the underlying and adjacent
vegetation communities, and any sensitive elements found or believed potentially present. No
focused surveys for specific flora or fauna will be conducted under the terms of this proposal. If
mammal trapping or focused surveys for wetlands, "waters of the U.S." or endangered or rare
organisms are required, those will be identified at critical junctures (for example, first site
inspection, Spring survey window, initiation of Fall/Winter rains, etc.) and in very close

consultation with CAJA and the City of El Segundo. It is not possible to predict whether other
work would be required at this time without investigating the property.
We inspected visually- accessible portions of the property in question on 02 August 2003 from the
fenceline along the Southern Pacific railroad property. Disturbed, remnant and emergent floral
resources were examined with the aid of binoculars. Close inspection of the property was not
possible, and close inspection will be necessary to determine if there is a need for any focused
survey work. The general biological assessment will largely be predictive in scope and
investigative methodology. Determinations of species presence will be predicated on overall
habitat suitability, degree of disturbance, adjacency to larger habitat blocks, and similar criteria.
Vegetation mapping will be prepared on topographic information provided by the project
proponent, or on aerial photography, whichever is better suited to the effort. Mapping and
photographs of the site's biological resources, as well as interpretive information, will be
contained within the body of the assessment.
Prepare a Mitigation Measures Section for the EIR
We anticipate there may be a need to provide Mitigation Measures to off -set impacts which may
occur as a result of the proposed project. Because we have not established an environmental
baseline for this development area, it may or may not be necessary to preserve portions of the site
and enhance the property through restorative techniques, or perform other off -site mitigation to
off -set the impacts associated with the construction of the project. We will develop these
measures in close consultation with CAJA and the City of El Segundo.
Coordination, Consultations and Support
TERACOR will provide the necessary level of support to you and the City of El Segundo during
the review process. It is difficult to predict the amount of time necessary in this regard, however,
and so we will propose a modest budget to accommodate coordination and other meetings.
Meetings or time not anticipated in this proposal will be billed in accordance with the current
TERACOR 2003 Fee Schedule, with your authorization only.
Geology and Soils
CAJA will prepare the evaluation of soils and geology for the EIR, based upon information provided by
the project applicant. The project site has been the subject of survey level geotechnical analysis that
should be sufficient to meet the requirements of CEQA. The evaluation of soils and geology issues in
the EIR will reflect a review of their previous geotechnical reports for investigations for the project site
and immediately adjacent sites and available published and unpublished literature, including the State of
California Seismic Hazard Zone Maps and Earthquake Fault Zone Maps, the County of Los Angeles

City of El Segundo Scope of Work 106
Christopher A. Joseph & Associates August 6, 2003
Seismic Safety Element, and the City of El Segundo Seismic Safety Element. Historical seismicity
information will also be incorporated into this section.
In the event that review of existing geotechnical studies of the project site and surrounding areas does
not yield sufficient information to provide an adequate discussion of this issue under CEQA, the CAJA
team includes the expertise of MACTEC, Inc. (formerly Law Crandall) to fill in any additional
information required. This optional task would be undertaken only in the event that information
provided by the project applicant is assessed by the consultant team and City staff as requiring
supplemental information and analysis.
Hydrology/Water Quality
CAJA will prepare the hydrology /water quality section of the EIR based upon information provided by
the project applicant. Because of the existing drainage conditions on the project site, which have
necessitated the existing retention basins, the site has been the subject of previous data collection and
analysis related to storm water drainage. CAJA would propose to work closely with the applicant's
engineer (Psomas)'to� obtain information and already- prepared drainage plans for the proposed project
and include this information in the EIR section. The hydrology analysis will identify the on -site and
off -site watersheds, and calculate the on -site existing and proposed runoff volumes and flow rates at
project build -out. Water quality impacts will also be evaluated by reviewing water quality objectives,
beneficial uses, and current storm water quality regulations (e.g., Standard Urban Storm Water
Mitigation Plans). On this basis, recommendations will be provided for the project development water
quality needs. Potential right -of -way impacts will also be identified.
Aesthetics
CAJA will evaluate the aesthetic impacts from the proposed Specific Plan. The existing visual
environment will be described from several different vantage points and perspectives (foreground,
middleground and background). The vantage points will be determined in consultation with the City.
The project's impact on the visual environment from the identified vantage points will be evaluated.
Both panoramic and aesthetic qualities will be addressed, including architectural and landscaping
enhancements seen from within the site. Appropriate photographs and other illustrations will be
included.
The aesthetic qualities of the proposed project (including architectural enhancements, d6cor, color,
landscaping, building height impacts, the effects of building mass, intensity, skyscape intrusions and
other impacts) will be described, using architectural renderings or other project graphics and narratives
provided to CAJA by the project applicant. CAJA will also review the proposed project's aesthetic
character in the context of existing City of El Segundo urban design policies that regulate and/or
encourage various aesthetic characteristics.

Public Services
August 6, 2003
CAJA will assess the proposed project's impacts on public services. CAJA will confer with appropriate
City of El Segundo and County of Los Angeles personnel relative to the project's potential impact upon
sheriff and fire protection services. This will involve consultation with the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department and Fire Department.
Recreation
Impacts on recreation services will be evaluated in the EIR in the event that public recreation facilities
are incorporated into the project plan. There is a possibility that new on site storm water retention
basins may be designed to accommodate public recreational activities. The effects of constructing and
operating such facilities would be required to be addressed in the EIR under CEQA.
Utility and Service Systems
It is anticipated that most of this EIR section will be based on the information contained in the
infrastructure plan and analysis prepared as part of the Specific Plan process undertaken by the project
applicant. To supplement this information as necessary, CAJA will confer with appropriate personnel
in the City of El Segundo and other service providers to determine if the project can be satisfactorily
served.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Much of the proposed project site has been the subject of past environmental site assessments and is
currently experiencing remediation activities under the cognizance of the Regional Water Quality
Control Board. Rather than duplicate this extensive body of work, CAJA would propose that the
previous studies be peer- reviewed by EMG to determine that the information is adequate for inclusion
in the EIR. One notable area within the project site that has not been evaluated, to our knowledge, is
the General Chemical ownership adjacent to Rosecrans Avenue. This proposal includes a Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment of this site, which EMG would conduct in accordance with the
following scope of work:
The assessment shall be conducted, at a minimum, in accordance with the American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM) Standard E 1527 -00 protocol, and shall also comply with such additional
requirements as are specified under the ASTM scope of work. The Services to be performed in all
cases shall include the following:
Proposal to Prepare EIR for Honeywell Project Page II -17 108
City of El Segundo Scope of Work
Christopher A. Joseph & Associates
August 6, 2003
• A review of reasonably ascertainable historic resources to determine prior uses of the
Project and surrounding area. EMG shall determine the appropriate level of research to
identify the history of the Project and will include the review of one or more standard
historical sources as listed in ASTM Standard E 1527 -00 which include: recorded land
title records, aerial photographs, fire insurance maps, city directories, building
department and fire marshal records, and property tax files.
• A visual assessment of representative accessible areas of the Project to identify
operational activities, hazardous materials /petroleum product use and storage, waste
generation, treatment, storage, and disposal activities, aboveground and underground
storage tanks, and potential polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) containing equipment.
• A review of the physical characteristics of the Project as identified through review of
reasonably ascertainable topographic, wetlands, flood plain, soils, geology, and ground
water data.
• A review of regulatory databases within the radius specified by the Scope of Work. At
a minimum, the following regulatory databases will be reviewed: NPL, RCRA -TSD,
RCRA - Corracts, SHWS, CERCLIS, NFRAP, SWF, LUST, UST, RCRIS - Generators,
and ERNS.
The assessment may also include limited materials sampling in order to evaluate the possible
presence of asbestos - containing materials ( "ACM"), lead -based paint ( "LBP "), lead in drinking
water, and radon.
This assessment, in conjunction with the information provided by Honeywell and Air Products,
is expected to be sufficient to adequately describe existing conditions for the entire project site,
along with the remediation activity that is projected to occur. This information is expected to
be sufficient to establish mitigation measures in the EIR that would ensure that any potentially
significant impacts are mitigated to less than significant levels.

SCOPE OF WORK
UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT
The proposed project consists of reuse of an industrial site located in the southern portion of El Segundo,
dust north of the City of Manhattan Beach. The approximately 38 acres project site is owned by
Honeywell Corporation and has been used for industrial activities for over 80 years. Various activities,
including certain activities involving the use of hazardous and toxic materials, have taken place on the site
over this time frame. A Union Pacific (UP) railroad line is located adjacent to the site and a BNSF
railroad line runs in a roughly parallel east -west alignment to the south of the UP line. A large storm
water retention basin is located in the southeastern portion of the project site and a second retention basin
is located south of the UP line. Remediation activities related to conditions of contamination related to
previous uses are presently underway under the regulatory supervision of the Regional Water Quality
Control Board. Additional remediahon activities may be undertaken in the future as additional
characterization and risk assessment studies are completed. A large portion of the project site has been
the subject of extensive studies related to hazardous materials in the recent past.
The proposed project would result in the conversion of the project site from industrial to commercial uses.
Primary commercial uses on the site under the proposed project would be retail, with some business park
uses potentially included. The on -site retention basin would be re- configured under the project, possibly
to include public recreational facilities. Development of the project site would be governed by a Specific
Plan that is being developed by the project applicant. Surrounding land uses include commercial and
industrial uses in the City of El Segundo and commercial and residential uses to the south in the City of
Manhattan Beach.
To provide a comprehensive solution to the complex needs of this undertaking, CAJA has assembled a
team of top professionals to address the environmental aspects of this project. The CAJA team would
propose to coordinate, to conjunction with City staff, with the project applicant and his planning
consultant, with whom CAJA has worked closely in the recent past, to refine and finalize the project
description in a form that affords the developer with the appropriate level of flexibility in responding to
changes in conditions which may affect development of the project site in the future. Preparation of the
EIR would be undertaken per the requirements of CEQA and would also be designed to provide
flexibility to the City and the developer in adapting the plan to meet changing requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES TO BE ANALYZED IN EIR
Our approach is designed to provide a thorough level of analysis capable of accommodating extensive
public input and withstanding the rigorous scrutiny that this project could conceivably attract. Based on a
survey of the project site and review of the RFP, CAJA would propose to analyze the following
environmental issues in detail in the Honeywell Project EIR:
• Transportation/Traffic
Proposal to Prepare E/R for Honeywell Project Page 1
City of El Segundo Reduced Scope of Work (Revised September, 1003)
116
Christopher A Joseph & Associates EXHIBIT 2 September 22, 2003
• Air Quality
• Noise
• Biological Resources
• Geology and Soils
• Hydrology/Water Quality
• Land Use and Planning
• Aesthetics
• Public Services
• Recreation
• Utility and Service Systems
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Remaining issues, which do not rise to the level of significant impacts, would be addressed through
completion of a comprehensive Initial Study to create a complete record of the City's environmental
decision- making. To the extent the City were to modify the proposed scope of the EIR, CAJA can
provide expertise to address additional technical issues which may arise.
SCOPE OF WORK TO PREPARE THE EIR
Because it is expected that the Honeywell Project EIR will be scrutinized by affected parties, adjacent
residents and surrounding communities, it is important that the potential environmental effects of the
project be fully analyzed. Although any EIR can be challenged, a comprehensive approach using
appropriately conservative assumptions is likely to withstand any legal challenge that might be raised.
The EIR must respond directly to issues raised by responsible agencies and community organizations. An
EIR that provides thoughtful and well- documented responses to issues raised during the environmental
review process is the best means of allowing applicants to proceed with their projects in the most
expeditious manner.
In order to assure that the resulting EIR is both analytically correct and legally defensible, the CAJA
Team will prepare a comprehensive and factual EIR that addresses existing conditions, project impacts,
mitigation measures, cumulative impacts and alternatives to the project, along with a complete Initial
Study which provides full justification for the City of El Segundo to conclude that remaining issues not
specifically addressed in the EIR would not be significant. The EIR will be prepared based on the
standards and requirements of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of El Segundo. The EIR
will be prepared to meet the exacting standards of quality employed by CAJA in the preparation of our
previous EIRs throughout Southern California.
The following tasks would be performed by the CAJA team to prepare an EIR for the Honeywell Project,
and would commence as soon as an EIR project description has been developed and agreed to by the City
and developer.
Proposal to Prepare EIR for Honeywell Project Page 2
Cite, of El Segundo Reduced Scope of Work (Remised September, 2003) rw
Christopher A Joseph & Associates EXHIBIT 2 September 11, 1003
Task 1: Review of Existing Information
CAJA will review existing information from all previous environmental reviews and pertinent
documentation and analyze to determine issues, findings and problem resolutions that could be relevant to
the EIR. A concerted effort will be made to utilize and incorporate as much existing data as possible into
the EIR.
Task 2: Preparation of a Draft Initial Study
The Initial Study consists of a checklist which is used to identify areas where the proposed project could
potentially result in environmental impacts as well as areas where the proposed project has no potential to
result in impacts. CAJA will prepare a Draft Initial Study for the proposed project utilizing the City's
Initial Study Checklist. The Initial Study will be comprised of a completed checklist and detailed
responses to all questions, with particular emphasis given to responses where the impact is not significant
and the response provided will serve as the primary record of the City's determination that the impact is
not significant. The Initial Study is also a valuable tool in refining the scope of the EIR and identifying
any required technical reports for the proposed project.
Task 3: Notices and EIR Scoping
CEQA includes prescribed noticing requirements to inform the public and other cognizant agencies that
documentation is being prepared for a project. CAJA will prepare the Notice of Preparation (NOP)
required by CEQA for the proposed project in the format used by City and will circulate it to all identified
commenting agencies and interested parties. The NOP will include a map of the project site, a brief
description of the proposed project, and a preliminary list of the environmental effects to be evaluated in
the EIR.
A finalized scope for the Draft EIR will be defined after all comments on the NOP have been received
and the Scoping meetings are concluded. CAJA will work with the City to determine if the comments
expand the scope of work or require additional technical sections to be included in the EIR. The Initial
Study, Notice of Preparation and all correspondence received in response to the NOP will be attached as
an Appendix to the Draft EIR.
CAJA will also circulate all other required public notices including the Notice of Completion and Notice
of Determination.
Task 4: Preparation of Administrative Draft EIR
Proposal to Prepare EIR for Honeywell Project Page 3
City of El Segundo Reduced Scope of Work (Revised September, 1003) 118
Christopher A Joseph & Associates EXHIBIT 2 September 22, 2003
An Administrative Draft EIR would be prepared for review by the City. This subsection outlines the
major sections which would be included in the Administrative Draft EIR.
4.1 SUMMARY
A tabular summary will be included as the first section of the EIR. The Summary will include an
Introduction, Statement of Purpose and Need, Description of the Proposed Project and Alternatives, and a
tabular summary of expected environmental effects. In addition, a brief executive summary will also be
prepared as a separate document, and would consist of a short description and background of the
proposed project, as well as a listing of the environmental impact findings, recommended mitigation
measures, and a summary evaluation of alternatives.
4.2 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The Introduction section of the EIR will include a narrative on the background of the EIR process,
statement of purpose and need, development of the proposed project and alternatives and a short
summation of the environmental review and project approval process. The environmental setting will
provide a physical description of the project site and the surrounding area. Existing improvements and
land uses will be described.
The environmental setting will also provide a physical description of the project site and the surrounding
area. A discussion and tabular list of related projects /cumulative development will be presented, and the
location of such development will be plotted on an area map. A related projects "list- based" approach
[CEQA Guidelines, Section 15130(b)(1)(A)] will be used to analyze the potential cumulative impacts of
the proposed project in conjunction with other projected growth in the area.
4.3 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
The project description will provide a detailed narrative and graphical presentation of the provisions of
the project, including proposed improvements and architectural plans. The project description will
include a qualitative and graphical description of the project location and boundaries including regional
and vicinity maps and aerial photos. For CEQA purposes, the project description will also include a
statement of project objectives to be developed in conjunction with the City.
4.4 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING, IMPACTS AND MITIGATION
As an introduction to this section of the EIR, each environmental impact area determined not to have a
potentially significant impact on the environment, as identified in the Initial Study described above, will
be listed, with an accompanying discussion of the reasons for the determination.

development of the proposed project and alternatives, recommended mitigation measures, net unmitigated
environmental impact after project development, and cumulative impact.
Existing Conditions. Analysis of the existing environmental setting is necessary in order to compare
those conditions to any changes created and produced by the proposed project, and to identify any
significant environmental effects of the proposed project. For purposes of environmental analysis within
the EIR, the environmental setting is defined as the physical conditions in the affected area as they exist at
the time the Notice of Preparation is published (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15126.2, revised
October 26, 1998).
Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Project. Each of the environmental subject areas would be
evaluated to determine impact significance. Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a
significant impact is defined as a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in the physical
environment. The specific criteria or threshold of significance for determining the significance of a
particular impact would be identified in conjunction with the City prior to the impact discussion in each
issue section, and would be consistent with the new criteria set forth in the revised CEQA Guidelines.
Mitigation Measures. Where applicable, mitigation measures would be presented in each respective
environmental subject area in the following classification scheme:
• Mitigation Measures required to reduce an identified significant impact to a less -than-
significant level.
• Specific Plan Mitigation Measures, mitigations that are recommended as policies in the
Specific Plan that would reduce or avoid significant environmental impacts.
• Non- Required Measures, mitigations that are recommended (but not required) to further
enhance environmental conditions within the project and the surrounding locale, and
which can reduce an identified non - significant impact.
• Code- Required Measures required by local, regional, state and/or federal regulations and
statutes which must be imposed as conditions of project approval. Such code - required
measures would be listed even though they are not necessarily required to reduce
identified impacts.
Level of Impact After Mitigation. A clear, concise statement of the level of impact after the inclusion of
mitigation measures will be presented. Net impacts will be defined as either "significant," or "less than
significant."
Cumulative Impact. The project's cumulative impacts in conjunction with identified related
development/cumulative growth within and possibly outside the City of El Segundo. Related projects
outside the City that might be included are the Playa Vista Development and the LAX Master Plan, as
well as anticipated future development projects in the Cities of Hawthorne and Manhattan Beach. It will

Christopher A Joseph & Associates EXHIBIT 2 September 22, 2003
be noted throughout the cumulative impact discussions that such impacts generally represent a worst -case
scenario (higher than would be expected) because impact projections for related projects are for the most
part calculated without subtracting (netting out) existing uses on related project sites. Moreover, it is
assumed for analytical purposes that all related projects would be approved and developed within the time
frame of the proposed project. In addition, each related project would likely be subject to unspecified
mitigation measures, which would also reduce cumulative impacts.
4.5 ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT
CAJA will prepare an analysis of alternatives to the proposed project. This proposal assumes up to five
alternatives to be analyzed in the EIR (includes No Project Alternative). Such alternatives may include:
• No Project (Existing Conditions)
• Reduced Project
• Alternate Uses (e.g., industrial)
• Alternative Site Plan Configurations (i.e., access, circulation, retention basin and
recreation facility location)
The requirements for these analyses are based on the "rule of reason" as dictated by the California
Environmental Quality Act and reflect the needs of each particular project. Specific alternative schemes
will be determined upon consultation with City staff. It is noted that several recent court cases have been
decided in California that can affect the scope of project alternatives in EIRs. The resulting court
decisions have made the alternatives analyses in EIRs more vulnerable to legal challenges which, in turn,
has changed the standards of adequacy for such analysis. The reasoning behind the rejection of
alternatives is typically based on the inability of the alternatives to meet the project objectives.
4.6 OTHER EIR SECTIONS
The EIR will also include the following required sections:
• Summary of Unavoidable Significant Adverse Impacts
• Growth Inducing Impacts
• Organizations and Persons Consulted
• Report Preparation Personnel
CAJA will submit five copies of the Administrative Draft EIR to the City for review.
Task 5: Revision of the Administrative Draft EIR
Proposal to Prepare EIR for Honeywell Project Page 6
City of El Segundo Reduced Scope of Work (Revised September, 2003) � j a
Christopher .4 Joseph & Associates EXHIBIT 2 September 22, 2003
Typical agency review involves a maximum of two drafts of the Administrative Draft EIR. The first
Administrative Draft EIR would receive the most extensive comments, with the subsequent draft
requiring fewer comments. The review and correction cycle continues until the City has approved the
Administrative Draft EIR for publication as a Draft EIR for public circulation.
Task 6: Production and Circulation of the Draft EIR
When the City has approved the Administrative Draft EIR for release as a Draft EIR, CAJA will print 75
copies of the Draft EIR and its Technical Appendices. CAJA will also provide the City with a camera
ready original, a PDF version for web - posting and a Microsoft Word version of the document on CD.
CAJA will also be responsible for the circulation of the Draft EIR to the State Clearinghouse, identified
commenting agencies and interested parties. In addition, CAJA will prepare and circulate the Notice of
Completion for the Draft EIR.
Task 7: Preparation of the Final EIR
The Draft EIR will be circulated to the public for a minimum of 45 days. Following the closure of the
public comment period, CAJA will prepare and submit five copies of the Administrative Final EIR to the
City. The Final EIR will consist of a summary, corrections, additions, and responses to comments to the
EIR. Each comment received on the Draft EIR will be responded to in the Final EIR. The extent of work
necessary to complete the Final EIR is contingent upon the amount and nature of comments that are
received after the Draft EIR is circulated. For the purposes of this proposal, based upon previous
experience with EIRs for projects of this type in the City, it is assumed that a workload of approximately
200 hours would be required to complete the Final EIR. This would accommodate a moderate to heavy
response to the Draft EIR. Should responses to comments exceed the anticipated workload, additional
hours would be billed on a time and materials basis, with prior approval of the City.
CAJA will begin preparation of the Final EIR immediately after circulation of the Draft EIR commences.
During the time the Draft EIR is being circulated for public comment, the summary and corrections and
additions sections of the Final EIR will be prepared. Written comments on the Draft EIR will be
responded to as soon as they are forwarded to CAJA by the lead agencies. It is anticipated that some
comments will be received before the end of the public circulation period and that responses to these
comments could be prepared immediately upon receipt.
CAJA will make changes to the Administrative Final EIR following its review by the City. When the
City has approved the Administrative Final EIR for release as the Final EIR, CAJA will print 50 copies of
the Final EIR and circulate them to all appropriate agencies and individuals. In addition, CAJA will
provide a camera ready original, PDF version for web posting and Word CD to the City. CAJA will also
prepare and file the Notice of Determination when the EIR has been certified by the City Council.

Christopher Joseph & Associates EXHIBIT 2 September 11, 1003
Task 8: Project Coordination/Public Participation
Successful preparation of the EIR will require effective communication between the City and the EIR
consultant. CAJA's experience in managing other projects of similar scale and complexity has shown
that regular working meetings provide this type of communication. Attendance at various public hearings
will also be required as a part of the EIR process. CAJA has budgeted for a total of 35 meetings or
hearings for all purposes over the course of the EIR process. Attendance at additional meetings or
hearings would be billed on a time and materials basis. Time has also been included for meeting
attendance for the traffic and biological resources consultants.
Task 9: Mitigation Monitoring Program
After the Final EIR has been completed, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will be prepared
for adoption by the City Council as part of the certification process. This CEQA- required plan must be
organized around City policies and procedures. The mitigation monitoring and reporting program will list
(1) project mitigation measures, (2) correlate the mitigation measures to the various governmental actions
that the implementation of the project will require and (3) identify the City and/or other governmental
offices or departments that should monitor the execution of the mitigations. The Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program will also establish specific reporting requirements, enforcement procedures and
penalties, reporting forms, and periodic monitoring schedules, consistent with the established procedures
of the City. A Draft Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will be prepared for review by City
staff, and a final Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will be prepared that incorporates City
changes. This document will be available in a timely fashion for inclusion in the staff report prepared for
the Planning Commission and City Council as part of the project approval and EIR certification process
in the City.
Task 10: Statement of Facts and Findings
Prior to consideration of the proposed project and certification of the Final EIR, CAJA will prepare the
Statement of Facts and Findings for any significant environmental effects identified in the EIR. The
Findings will individually identify the significant environmental effects of the proposed project and
provide a reasoned discussion of the appropriate findings of the Lead Agency.
Task 11: Statement of Overriding Considerations
Prior to consideration of the proposed project and certification of the Final EIR, CAJA will prepare the
Statement of Overriding Considerations (if required). The Statement of Overriding Considerations would
describe why the benefits of the project outweigh its significant unavoidable effects, if such effects are
identified by the EIR.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES TO BE ANALYZED IN THE EIR
Based on a survey of the project site, and review of the RFP, CAJA would propose to analyze the following
environmental issues in detail in the Honeywell Project EIR:
• Land Use and Planning
• Transportation/Traffic
• Air Quality
• Noise
• Biological Resources
• Geology and Soils
• Hydrology/Water Quality
• Aesthetics
• Public Services
• Recreation
• Utility and Service Systems
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The following pages provide a summary of the content and technical approach for each environmental
impact category which would be analyzed in the Honeywell Project EIR:
Land Use and Planning
CAJA will evaluate the proposed Specific Plan for compliance and consistency with established plans,
policies and regulations, including the City of El Segundo General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. This
section will be supplemented with graphic displays of existing and proposed land use and zoning in the
project locale as well as tabular comparisons of the project's compliance. The Specific Plan will also be
evaluated for compatibility with the existing and future land use patterns in the project locale. The
project's functional and physical compatibility with surrounding uses will also be analyzed, taking
particular note of the residential uses located in the City of Manhattan Beach to the south..
Transportation/Traffic
Crain & Associates will prepare a project traffic study addressing project traffic impacts at up to 20 study
intersections. The project traffic study will include the following tasks:
Proposal to Prepare EIR for Honeywell Project Page 9
City of El Segundo Reduced Scope of Work (Revised September, 2003) ;) �}
Christopher A Joseph & Associates EXHIBIT 2
September 11, 1003
Scoping Meeting with City of El Segundo Staff -- Meet with the City's traffic engineering
representatives to scope and develop the project traffic study parameters. This will be accomplished
within approximately the first two weeks of the official authorization to proceed. We will also
briefly consult with other jurisdictions and agencies such as Federal agencies, if needed.
Project Traffic Study -- Prepare a project traffic study based on the scopmg requirements. This
study will include but not be limited to the following:
• Environmental/transportation setting, including field survey observations;
• Description of study area street system and available public transit serving the area;
• Existing weekday AM and PM peak -hour traffic count information (up to 15
study intersections included). Count data from the Circulation Element Update
will be used wherever possible. New traffic count data at up to five intersection
locations is included in the cost estimate;
• Calculate existing levels of traffic service at study intersections;
• Forecast of future year traffic conditions in the study area;
• Traffic generation using appropriate trip generation rates, trip distribution and
trip assignment for project traffic;
• Capacity and level of service calculations at up to 20 study intersections to
determine incremental impacts of the proposed project. Future conditions with
the project will include pedestrian and bicycle linkages as relevant;
• Determination of potential traffic impacts of the proposed project;
• Research of related projects in study area, and analysis of cumulative traffic peak
hour impacts for the future study year;
• Research and develop applicable Los Angeles County Congestion Management
Program (CMP) traffic analysis;
• Discussion of project access, circulation and parking issues
• Recommendations and conclusions, including any necessary traffic mitigation
and;
• Determination of the effectiveness of potential traffic mitigation measures.
EIR Preparation Assistance -- We will perform the following tasks to assist with preparation of the
EIR:
Proposal to Prepare EIR for Honeywell Project Page 10
Cnv of El Segundo Reduced Scope of Work (Revised September, 1003)
125
Christopher A Joseph & Associates EXHIBIT 2
September 22, 2003
• Transmit the traffic study in machine form for use in preparation of the
transportation section by others;
• Review the transportation section for technical accuracy;
• Provide peak hour and daily volumes at up to 8 segments to be used in other
sections; and
• Prepare draft responses to comments for up to 30 transportation comments not
requiring additional analysis.
If additional tasks are requested, such as preparing conceptual designs of mitigation measures, revisions
due to change in the scope of the project, or extensive negotiations with the adjacent jurisdictions and/or
regional/Federal agencies, we would be pleased to provide those services. Separate estimates of costs for
each of those tasks or other tasks that the City may request can be provided.
Air Quality
The following scope of work would be undertaken by CAM to complete the air quality analysis:
Characterize Existing Conditions. This task will involve compiling historical data from the nearest
air pollutant monitoring station. The number of exceedances of State and Federal Ambient Air
Quality standards will be documented. Existing ambient background carbon monoxide
concentrations using either the CAL3QHC or CALINE 4 dispersion models. Sensitive locations will
be identified for purposes of establishing existing CO "hot spot" conditions in the local project
vicinity. CO concentration measured in parts per million will be calculated for the one -hour and
eight -hour periods and compared with State standards. To provide a regional context, the most recent
attainment and non - attainment status designations from the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
will be discussed.
Assess Construction Impacts. Based on construction phasing scenario provided by the project
applicant, short-term air quality effects associated with construction of the proposed project will be
estimated. The analysis will seek to define the worst -case phase and will consider construction
activities associated with site grading and excavation, foundations, building erection and finishing.
Using the SCAQMD guidelines as well as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) AP42
emissions factor document, all applicable sources of air emissions for each phase of the construction
process will be combined into a total area source emission rate. Emissions from the construction site
will be quantified on a daily and quarterly basis in pounds per day and tons per quarter, respectively.
These emissions will be compared with daily and quarterly emissions thresholds established by the
SCAQMD to determine the potential for significant impacts.

12 h
Christopher A Joseph & Associates EXHIBIT 2
September 22, 2003
Prepare Operations Phase Impact Analysis. The operational air quality assessment will be
prepared to satisfy the requirements of the SCAQMD. Specific analysis will include:
Daily Emissions. Mobile emission rates will utilize the most recent EMFAC 2002 series factors
required by SCAQMD. Mobile emissions rates will be applied to vehicle miles of travel statistics
available from the traffic study.
Carbon Monoxide Hot Spots. The roadside carbon monoxide analysis will be conducted in
accordance with the procedures established by US EPA and SCAQMD in the carbon monoxide
modeling protocol document. Specific attention will be given to two classes of roadway
intersections. First, analytical priority will be given to intersections that would be expected to operate
at LOS E or F. Second, intersections that would be adjacent to sensitive land uses. The CAL3QHC
or CALINE 4 microcomputer carbon monoxide dispersion model will be used at intersections that
may be substantially affected by the project.
Identify Mitigation Measures. Mitigation measures will be identified that would either eliminate or
substantially reduce any identified air quality impacts. Mitigation measures will be selected to ensure
that performance standards are met and that the measures are feasible and enforceable. Measures will
address both short-term and long -term aspects of the project.
Noise
The following scope of work would be undertaken by CAJA to complete the noise analysis:
A noise level profile will be created for the project area. The specific focus of the noise profile will
be to characterize daytime, evening, and nighttime noise levels. Existing levels will be compared
with ANSI and State Office of Noise Control land use compatibility standards.
To supplement existing noise data sources, CAJA will conduct field measurements using a Type II
sound level meter capable of out - putting a printed record and time histograms. Measurements will
be conducted during the peak travel hour and off peak periods to assist in characterization of noise
level variations in the project vicinity throughout the day.
Assess Construction Impacts. Based on construction phasing scenario provided by the project
applicant, the short-term noise effects associated with construction of the proposed project will be
estimated. The analysis will seek to define the worst -case phase and will consider construction
activities associated with demolition, site grading and excavation, foundations, building erection
and finishing.
Using the City noise ordinance as a reference, noise levels from the various phases of construction
will be assessed to determine whether the change in sound level at the nearest adjacent sensitive
receptor locations exceeds threshold criteria. Construction equipment noise will be estimated using
Proposal to Prepare E/R for Honeywell Project Page 12
City of El Segundo Reduced Scope of Work (Revised September, 2003)
12 �
Christopher Joseph & Associates EXHIBIT 2
September 22, 2003
U.S. EPA source documents as well as actual field measurements of special pieces of equipment or
activities as necessary. The specific emphasis of the construction noise impact assessment will be
to determine whether the incremental change in noise due to construction would be considered
significant. As a benchmark to establish a baseline condition to which noise from construction
activity will be added, noise measurements will be taken in the area surrounding the construction
site. At a minimum, noise measurement periods will include early morning hours, mid - morning,
afternoon, and early evening time periods. A Type II integrating sound level meter will be used for
this purpose. Printed output from the sound meter will be used to document findings. Impacts on
adjacent residential uses will be assessed.
Operational Noise Sources. To address the impact of traffic noise after the project is occupied,
the Caltrans Sound 32 microcomputer model will be used in conjunction with traffic volume
estimates from the traffic study to simulate the added noise from local roadways. Ambient/existing
noise conditions will be established through a representative sound - monitoring program in the
project vicinity. In addition, impacts from potential operational stationary noise sources (i.e.,
ventilation equipment, loading docks, etc.) on nearby sensitive receptors will be evaluated.
Identify Mitigation Measures. Mitigation measures will be identified that would either eliminate
or substantially reduce any identified noise impacts. Mitigation measures will be selected to ensure
that performance standards are met and that the measures are feasible and enforceable. Measures
will address both short-term and long -term aspects of the project.
Biological Resources
TERACOR Resource Management will undertake the following scope of work:
Assemble Baseline Information
In accordance with our understanding of pending development options and site conditions
associated with the 86 acre parcel assemblage, TERACOR will assemble an overview of the
biological resources present immediately adjacent to and on the project site. We will inventory
floral and faunal species, both observed as well as those determined likely to be present. We will
review recent aerial and available historic aerial photography of the property to assess existing
conditions and historic alterations. Field personnel will photo - document ground conditions as we
encounter them. Based on this information, we will construct a biological resource profile of the
property, including overall resource value, suitability to support rare species based on habitat
conditions, extent of weed invasion, presence of native plant communities, non - native or
ornamental vegetation, prior disturbance and other conditions which would define the biological
condition of the site.
TERACOR will carefully reference the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and the
CNPS Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California to determine the range of
Proposal to Prepare EIR for Honeywell Project page 13
Citt, of El Segundo Reduced Scope of Work (Revised September, 2003) 128
Christopher A Joseph & Associates EXHIBIT 2
September 22, 2003
sensitive species known to occur in the general area. An initial query of the CNDDB indicates that
39 sensitive organisms are recorded on the USGS Venice Topographic Quadrangle; which suggests
some possibility of occurrence in remnant open habitats such as that present on the Honeywell
parcel assemblage. We will also review background reports for other similar properties which are
available for review at the City of El Segundo which document the flora and fauna known to be
present in the area.
Prepare a Biological Assessment
TERACOR will prepare a biological assessment of development site and any affected areas as
outlined by the City of El Segundo. The assessment will include the underlying and adjacent
vegetation communities, and any sensitive elements found or believed potentially present. No
focused surveys for specific flora or fauna will be conducted under the terms of this proposal. If
mammal trapping or focused surveys for wetlands, "waters of the U.S." or endangered or rare
organisms are required, those will be identified at critical punctures (for example, first site
inspection, Spring survey window, initiation of Fall/Winter rains, etc.) and in very close
consultation with CAJA and the City of El Segundo. It is not possible to predict whether other
work would be required at this time without investigating the property.
We inspected visually- accessible portions of the property in question on 02 August 2003 from the
fenceline along the Southern Pacific railroad property. Disturbed, remnant and emergent floral
resources were examined with the aid of binoculars. Close inspection of the property was not
possible, and close inspection will be necessary to determine if there is a need for any focused
survey work. The general biological assessment will largely be predictive in scope and
investigative methodology. Determinations of species presence will be predicated on overall
habitat suitability, degree of disturbance, adjacency to larger habitat blocks, and similar criteria.
Vegetation mapping will be prepared on topographic information provided by the project
proponent, or on aerial photography, whichever is better suited to the effort. Mapping and
photographs of the site's biological resources, as well as interpretive information, will be contained
within the body of the assessment.
Prepare a Mitigation Measures Section for the EIR
We anticipate there may be a need to provide Mitigation Measures to off -set impacts which may
occur as a result of the proposed project. Because we have not established an environmental
baseline for this development area, it may or may not be necessary to preserve portions of the site
and enhance the property through restorative techniques, or perform other off -site mitigation to off-
set the impacts associated with the construction of the project. We will develop these measures in
close consultation with CAJA and the City of El Segundo.
Coordination, Consultations and Support

Christopher A Joseph & Associates EXHIBIT 2
September 22, 1003
TERACOR will provide the necessary level of support to you and the City of El Segundo during
the review process. It is difficult to predict the amount of time necessary in this regard, however,
and so we will propose a modest budget to accommodate coordination and other meetings.
Meetings or time not anticipated in this proposal will be billed in accordance with the current
TERACOR 2003 Fee Schedule, with your authorization only.
Geology and Soils
CAJA will prepare the evaluation of soils and geology for the EIR, based upon information provided by
the project applicant. The project site has been the subject of survey level geotechnical analysis that
should be sufficient to meet the requirements of CEQA. The evaluation of soils and geology issues in the
EIR will reflect a review of their previous geotechnical reports for investigations for the project site and
immediately adjacent sites and available published and unpublished literature, including the State of
California Seismic Hazard Zone Maps and Earthquake Fault Zone Maps, the County of Los Angeles
Seismic Safety Element, and the City of El Segundo Seismic Safety Element. Historical seismicity
information will also be incorporated into this section.
In the event that review of existing geotechnical studies of the project site and surrounding areas does not
yield sufficient information to provide an adequate discussion of this issue under CEQA, the CAJA team
includes the expertise of MACTEC, Inc. (formerly Law Crandall) to fill in any additional information
required. This optional task would be undertaken only in the event that information provided by the
project applicant is assessed by the consultant team and City staff as requiring supplemental information
and analysis.
Hydrology/Water Quality
CAJA will prepare the hydrology /water quality section of the EIR based upon information provided by
the project applicant. Because of the existing drainage conditions on the project site, which have
necessitated the existing retention basins, the site has been the subject of previous data collection and
analysis related to storm water drainage. CAJA would propose to work closely with the applicant's
engineer (Psomas) to obtain information and already - prepared drainage plans for the proposed project and
include this information in the EIR section. The hydrology analysis will identify the on -site and off -site
watersheds, and calculate the on -site existing and proposed runoff volumes and flow rates at project
build -out. Water quality impacts will also be evaluated by reviewing water quality objectives, beneficial
uses, and current storm water quality regulations (e.g., Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plans).
On this basis, recommendations will be provided for the project development water quality needs.
Potential nght -of -way impacts will also be identified.
Aesthetics
CAJA will evaluate the aesthetic impacts from the proposed Specific Plan. The existing visual
environment will be described from several different vantage points and perspectives (foreground,
Proposal to Prepare EIR for Hone well Project Page 15
City of E1 Segundo Reduced Scope of Work (Revised September, 2003) 130
Christopher A Joseph & Associates EXHIBIT 2 September 22, 1003
middleground and background). The vantage points will be determined in consultation with the City.
The project's impact on the visual environment from the identified vantage points will be evaluated. Both
panoramic and aesthetic qualities will be addressed, including architectural and landscaping
enhancements seen from within the site. Appropriate photographs and other illustrations will be included.
The aesthetic qualities of the proposed project (including architectural enhancements, decor, color,
landscaping, building height impacts, the effects of building mass, intensity, skyscape intrusions and other
impacts) will be described, using architectural renderings or other project graphics and narratives
provided to CAJA by the project applicant. CAJA will also review the proposed project's aesthetic
character in the context of existing City of El Segundo urban design policies that regulate and/or
encourage various aesthetic characteristics.
Public Services
CAJA will assess the proposed project's impacts on public services. CAJA will confer with appropriate
City of El Segundo and County of Los Angeles personnel relative to the project's potential impact upon
sheriff and fire protection services. This will involve consultation with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department and Fire Department.
Recreation
Impacts on recreation services will be evaluated in the EIR in the event that public recreation facilities are
incorporated into the project plan. There is a possibility that new on site storm water retention basins may
be designed to accommodate public recreational activities. The effects of constructing and operating such
facilities would be required to be addressed in the EIR under CEQA.
Utility and Service Systems
It is anticipated that most of this EIR section will be based on the information contained in the
infrastructure plan and analysis prepared as part of the Specific Plan process undertaken by the project
applicant. To supplement this information as necessary, CAJA will confer with appropriate personnel in
the City of El Segundo and other service providers to determine if the project can be satisfactorily served.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Much of the proposed project site has been the subject of past environmental site assessments and is
currently experiencing remediation activities under the cognizance of the Regional Water Quality Control
Board. Rather than duplicate this extensive body of work, CAJA would propose that the previous studies
be peer - reviewed by EMG to ensure that the information is adequate for inclusion in the EIR. This
information is expected to be sufficient to establish mitigation measures in the EIR that would ensure that
any potentially significant impacts are mitigated to less than significant levels.
