18. INDEMNIFICATION.
A. CONSULTANT agrees to the following:
. Indemnification for Professional Services. CONSULTANT will save
harmless and indemnify, and at CITY's request reimburse defense
costs for CITY and all its officers, volunteers, employees and
representatives (including reasonable attorney's fees), from and
against any and all suits, actions, or claims, of any character
whatever, brought for, or on account of, any injuries or damages
sustained by any person or property resulting or arising from any
negligent or wrongful act, error or omission by CONSULTANT or

loss or damage arising from CITY's sole negligence, active negligence
or willful misconduct.

holds CITY harmless from and against any claim, action, damages,
costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees),

Page 5 of 11
iii. Exclusion for CEQA Actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
CONSULTANT need not indemnify, defend, or hold CITY harmless in
CEQA actions initiated pursuant to Public Resources Code §§ 21167 and
21168 where CONSULTANT's work may form the basis of a lawsuit.
However, should CONSULTANT's work, as contemplated by this
Agreement, contain errors or omissions that results in an adverse ruling
against CITY, CONSULTANT agrees to indemnify and hold CITY
harmless to the extent provided for in Section 18(A)(i).
& For purposes of this section "CITY" includes CITY's officers, officials and
employees,
C. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions will survive
termination of this Agreement.
D. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be
maintained by CONSULTANT as required by Section 22, and any approval of
said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or
qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSULTANT
pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions
concerning indemnification.
19. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONSULTANT's professional services.
CONSULTANT's attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY's
written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.
20. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CITY and CONSULTANT agree that
CONSULTANT will act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the
manner in which is it performed. CONSULTANT will be free to contract for similar service to
be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY. CONSULTANT is not an
agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance,
bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that
may appear to give CITY the right to direct CONSULTANT as to the details of doing the work
or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONSULTANT will follow the
direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.
21. AUDIT OF RECORDS.
A. CONSULTANT agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain,
and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement.

information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises,
upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the purpose of
interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such books, records,
accounts, and other material that may be relevant to a matter under investigation
Page 6 of 11
t 2 b
: a "
for the purpose of determining compliance with this Agreement. CONSULTANT
further agrees to maintain such records for a period of three (3) years following
final payment under this Agreement.
B. Upon inspection, CONSULTANT will promptly implement any corrective
measures required by CITY regarding the requirements of this Section.
CONSULTANT will be given a reasonable amount of time to implement said
corrective measures. Failure of CONSULTANT to implement required corrective
measures will result in immediate termination of this Agreement.
C. CONSULTANT will keep all books, records, accounts and documents pertaining
to this Agreement separate from other activities unrelated to this Agreement.
22. INSURANCE.
A. Before commencing performance under this Agreement, and at all other times this
Agreement is effective, CONSULTANT must procure and maintain the following
types of insurance with coverage limits complying, at a minimum, with the limits
set forth below:
Type of Insurance
Commercial general liability:
Professional Liability
Business automobile liability
Workers compensation
Limits (combined single)
$1,000,000
$1,000,000
$1,000,000
Statutory requirement.
B. Commercial general liability insurance will meet or exceed the requirements of
ISO -CGL Form No. CG 00 01 11 85 or 88. The amount of insurance set forth
above will be a combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal
injury, and property damage for the policy coverage. Commercial General
Liability policy will be endorsed to name City, its officials, and employees as
"additional insureds" under said insurance coverage and to state that such
insurance will be deemed "primary" such that any other insurance that may be
carried by City will be excess thereto. Such endorsement must be reflected on
ISO Form No. CG 20 10 11 85 or 88. Such insurance will be on an "occurrence,"
not a "claims made," basis and will not be cancelable or subject to reduction
except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to City.
C. Automobile coverage will be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage Form CA
00 0106 92, including symbol 1 (Any Auto).
D. Professional liability coverage will be on an "occurrence basis" if such coverage
is available, or on a "claims made" basis if not available. When coverage is
provided on a "claims made basis," CONSULTANT will continue to maintain the
insurance in effect for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or
Page 7 of 11
i
is terminated ( "extended insurance "). Such extended insurance will have the same
coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this
Agreement, and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by City arising
out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or
agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.
E. CONSULTANT will furnish to City duly authenticated Certificates of Insurance
evidencing maintenance of the insurance required under this Agreement,
endorsements as required herein, and such other evidence of insurance or copies
of policies as may be reasonably required by City from time to time. Insurance
must be placed with insurers with a current A.M. Best Company Rating
equivalent to at least a Rating of "A:VII."
F. Should CONSULTANT, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the insurance
required by this Agreement, City may obtain such coverage at CONSULTANT's
expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to
CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate.
23. USE OF CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY's prior written approval to
use any consultants while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must
approve of the proposed consultant and the terms of compensation.
24. INCIDENTAL TASKS. CONSULTANT will meet with CITY monthly to provide the

Exhibit A
Bud et
l IIlluu,„, Ally 41IIII
Budget
Atkins has prepared a cost estimate that is competitive, yet accurately reflective of the level of effort
required to complete the scope of services requested by the City based on our understanding of the
project with the information made available to date. Atkins does not believe it is in the client's interest to
submit an unrealistically low cost proposal, which is made possible by either reducing the scope of work
or by assuming that budget augments will be made available at a later date. That said, we are flexible and
willing to discuss ways to reduce our preliminary cost proposal, if necessary. For your convenience, we
have provided a detailed cost proposal for preparation of an addendum to the previous MND or a new
MND as Attachment A, identifying labor costs by task, by person, and by hour, and we having also
included our standard fee schedule as Attachment B.
Factors that would increase the scope of work and estimated costs outlined in this proposal include, but
are not necessarily limited to, any of the following:
• Attendance at additional meetings
• Printing of additional copies of reports
• Analysis of additional issues above those discussed in this proposal, or a more detailed level of
analysis than described in this proposal
• Changes in the project requiring re- analysis or rewriting of report sections
• Collection of additional data
Our cost proposal is valid for 60 days from the date of this proposal and is based on all team members'
standard hourly rates.

Scope of Work
Project Understanding
An approximately 90,000- square -foot (so office, R &D and light industrial building was built in the early
1960s on the project site by International Rectifier Corporation (IRC), who after selling it, remained a
tenant in the building until November 2007. The building was a single -story structure with an
approximately 25,000 sf basement with windows and ground access on the east, south and west sides.
The proposed project site was also occupied by a small storage facility on the east side of the property.
These structures have since been demolished. IRC is a major worldwide supplier of power
semiconductors that convert energy to operate power supplies, lighting ballasts, and motor drives. The
property was classified as a heavy manufacturing facility that treats and /or disposes of liquid or semisolid
wastes.
The previous MND prepared by Atkins in 2008/2009 was for a project that included the development of
an 88,249 sf business park (for commercial and light industrial uses) on a vacant 4.7 -acre parcel. The
business park consisted of six new multi- tenant LEED- compliant structures in a campus setting with
surface parking on a 4.5 -acre portion of the site. The remaining 0.2 -acre space (19 feet of public street
along Grand Avenue, 5 feet along Kansas Street, and 5 feet along Franklin Avenue) were to be offered
for dedication to the City. Buildings were to be designed as multi -unit commercial and industrial
"condominiums," which would have required the City's approval for a subdivision to allow for the
existing one lot to be subdivided into 55 units. No residential uses were proposed as part of the previous
project. The previous project would have had a gross FAR of 0.41 and the heights of structures would
not have exceeded two stories (maximum height of 35 feet). A total of 55 units would have been
constructed; 32 units to be designed for office and restaurant uses and 23 units to be designed for light
industrial uses. Restaurants and a coffee shop would have been developed to support both the on -site
businesses and other businesses in the area. The previous project also proposed a lot line adjustment
with two adjacent parcels to the east of the site along Grand Avenue. The existing triangular parking lot
that handles overflow parking of damaged vehicles awaiting repair at Jim and Jack's Auto Body across
the street would have been replaced with a walled -in parking lot set back from Grand Avenue. The lot
line adjustment would not have required a zone change since it would have been replacing the former
90,000 sf facility with approximately 88,000 sf of new facilities. The previous project would have utilized
the same egress and ingress (off Franklin Avenue and Kansas Street), operated during the same business
hours, employed a similar number of employees, and supported a similar number of vehicles. Access to
the project site would have been provided by two driveways: on Franklin Street and Kansas Street. The
proposed project would have provided a total of 264 parking spaces, of which 232 would have been
standard spaces and 32 would have been compact spaces. This parking allocation was equivalent to three
parking spaces per 1,000 sf of development and exceeded the City's parking requirements.
Our understanding is that the proposed project site has a new property owner that has a tentative
agreement to use approximately one -half of the site as an office /laboratory use for the United States
Proposal to Prepare Environmental Documentation for the 222 Kansas Street Project 3
.�;
A uuum 1uumuu ( NV
Department of Agriculture (USDA). More specifically, the proposal is for 45,150 sf of office /laboratory
use for the USDA as one development (rear parcel with frontage on Franklin Avenue and Kansas Street)
and the construction of two two -story office buildings totaling approximately 31,000 sf as a second
development (with frontage on Grand Avenue and Kansas Street).
The on -site testing laboratory would generally involve the testing of plants, fruit, small animals, and
products typically being shipped through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and occasionally for
the Port of Los Angeles. On -site testing would not include large animals such as equine and bovine
shipments and other generally large objects that would be quarantined and directly on -site at LAX
and /or the Port of Los Angeles. The facility would have a trucking dock but would only include a
maximum of 12 truck trips per day. The facility would also include offices for the USDA inspectors but
there would likely be a very low ratio of staff to building size since many inspectors are rarely on -site
since they are usually either at LAX or the Port performing testing activities.
The planning entitlements for the proposed project would include a General Plan Amendment, a Zone
Change, a Zone Text Amendment, a Specific Plan (222 Kansas Street Specific Plan), a development
agreement, and a four -lot subdivision. The on -site oil well has been abandoned by the Division of Oil,
Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) and the former on -site oil storage tanks no longer exist. The
possibility of greater contamination of the site has been identified more recently by the bank that
obtained the property in foreclosure and the new property owner understands that the issue will be re-
studied and that they will be responsible for meeting environmental remediation requirements as
necessary.
Project Approach
The approach of the Atkins Project Team is based on meeting the following objectives:,
• Serving as a key element of the City's team to anticipate controversial issues, provide unbiased
recommendations, devise solutions to potential impacts and /or other issues that may arise, and
provide expert planning, policy, and environmental compliance consultation
• Committing senior management to the project to provide close coordination with, and accessibility
to, the City to ensure technical accuracy, document objectivity, and legal defensibility
• Complying with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the current CEQA Guidelines, as
well as current case law, and serving as a public educator of CEQA and the CEQA process
• Complying with all unique City processing requirements
• Responding to all significant issues of concern raised by the various governmental agencies, private
entities, individuals, and community groups
• Submitting all required deliverables within the mutually agreed upon time frames
A preliminary review of the documents submitted leads us to believe that an addendum to the previous
MND may be appropriate for the project, depending on the results of project -level analysis of air quality,
noise and traffic impacts, particularly during construction, as well as updated hazardous materials
assessments. Because of the possibility that a new mitigable impact may be identified after further
comprehensive analysis, the following scope of work includes Option 1 to prepare an addendum to the
previous MND and Option 2 to prepare a new updated MND. It is anticipated that the updated MND
4 Proposal to Prepare Environmental Documentation for the 222 Kansas Street Project
AT IJl llllr , 1 u
would consist of substantial new analysis of, at most, four issues —air quality, hazardous materials, noise
and trafficas these are the four resource areas most likely to be adversely impacted by the project. If it
is determined after running the air quality, noise and traffic models, and reviewing the updated hazardous
materials assessments, that these impacts would still be less than significant, without new mitigation, we
would prepare an addendum to the previous MND.
Atkins will take full responsibility for project initiation and organization, data compilation, impact
assessment, development of new mitigation measures (if needed), report compilation, monitoring and
review for CEQA adequacy, attendance at public meetings and hearings (if needed), response to public
comments (if an updated MND is circulated for public review), coordination of the internal project team,
and preparation of a new Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, if required.
Report format and content will be in full compliance with CEQA (as amended through the date of
submittal of the addendum to the previous MND or updated draft MND), the CEQA Guidelines (also
as amended through the date of submittal of the addendum to the previous MND or updated draft
MND), and the City's environmental guidelines and procedural requirements. General addendum or
updated MND organization will include a discussion of existing conditions, potential direct and
indirect/ secondary environmental impacts, and the recommendation of mitigation measures for each
affected issue area. To present information in a concise and easily understood format, text will be
supplemented with graphics, charts, maps and tables on 81/2 x 11 white paper, unless a larger format is
critical to the readability of the document. Work products will consist of professionally photocopied
reports in comb bindings, which are printed on recycled paper. The majority of graphics, charts, and
maps will be presented in black ink, although some color graphics may be included to help convey
necessary information. All work products will be submitted in hard -copy format and in electronic format
and will be prepared using Microsoft Word and other formats (i.e., PDF) that are compatible with the
City's software applications. All documents and plans shall be the property of the City of El Segundo,
TASK 1 Participate in Project Startup Activities
Subtask 1 A Attend One Project Kick -Off Meeting
Atkins will attend one project kick -off meeting with representatives from the City of El Segundo and,
most likely, the Applicant's team. The purpose of the kick -off meeting is to compile the relevant
background data and reports; clearly define the proposed project for the purposes of the environmental
analysis; begin to compile a list of cumulative projects (if different from the one used in the previous
MND); discuss the project schedule and important assumptions for achieving the schedule; identify all
anticipated discretionary actions; establish early communication among various project team members, as
well as the protocols for ongoing communication; and to familiarize the Atkins project team with the
issues and concerns that the City determines to be important issues for analysis in the environmental
document. Based on the discussions and issues raised during the kick -off meeting, the Atkins project
management team will refine the scope of work, schedule, and budget, if necessary.

TASK 2 Conduct Preliminary Analyses
Subtask 2A Prepare Updated Traffic Analyses
Atkins will prepare both the updated traffic analyses and the Transportation & Traffic section of the
addendum or updated MND. In 2008, Atkins was contracted to complete a transportation study for the
proposed El Segundo Business Park Project as part of the previous MND. Since then, we understand
that the land -use information used for the MND has been revised to include a new land use mix. This
addendum to the original scope of work will include the following tasks:
1. Revision of land use data and its resultant trip generation calculations
2. Review of trip distribution factors and update of volumes at study locations
3. Update of the traffic impact analysis study to reflect new land use data
4. Determination and documentation of mitigation due to project impact, if any
The results of the updated traffic analyses will be included as part of a separate report, as well as in the
Initial Study checklist prepared as part of Subtask 2E below.
Subtask 213 Conduct Air Quality Modeling
Atkins will use the results of the updated traffic analyses, information regarding construction phases,
schedules, and equipment, as well as information regarding specific activities and hours of operation to
model the potential impacts of the proposed project on air quality. By conducting the air quality
modeling early in the environmental review process, Atkins can determine whether there will be
significant impacts to air quality, and if these impacts can be mitigated. If impacts to air quality are
determined to be less than significant (without new mitigation), Atkins will prepare air quality impact
analyses to be included as part of an addendum to the previous MND. However, if new impacts to air
quality are identified and /or new mitigation measures to reduce new potential air quality impacts are
recommended, Atkins will prepare air quality analyses to be included as part of an updated MND.
Local carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations will be modeled at up to eight intersections to be selected
in coordination with the City of El Segundo. This is the number of intersections studied in the previous
MNDs air quality analysis; however, Atkins can revise the number of intersections studied based on
input from the City. Local CO impacts associated with project traffic will be predicted using the
CALINE -4 program and compliant with the recommendations of the CALTRANS Transportation
Project -Level Carbon Monoxide Protocol (Revised December 1997). The CAMNE-4 computer
dispersion model will be applied to the intersections most affected by project traffic, and nearby
proximity to sensitive receptors.
The air quality analysis will also evaluate potential air quality impacts of project - related construction
activities. The maximum expected equipment to be in use during each phase of construction will be used
to quantify maximum daily emissions. Emissions will be compared to the thresholds of significance
presented in the SCAQMD Handbook. Mitigation measures for construction- related particulates will

b
AI, V, IIIIVm INS
follow guidance from the SCAQMD CEQA Handbook In addition to the air emission thresholds
established by SCAQMD, potential localized impacts for certain criteria pollutants with regard to project -
related emissions are calculated using a separate method. For smaller projects (less than 5 acres), localized
significance thresholds (LSTs) were developed in response to the SCAQMD Governing Board's
Environmental Justice Enhancement Initiative I -4. LSTs represent the maximum emissions from a
project that are not expected to cause or contribute to an exceedance of the most stringent applicable
federal or state ambient air quality standard, and are developed based on the ambient concentrations of
that pollutant for each source receptor area and distance to the nearest sensitive receptor. A LST
screening analysis using the SCAQMD provided mass -rate lookup tables only applies to projects that are
5 acres or less in size and are only applicable to CO, NOx, PM,,, and PM25. For this project, an analysis
of localized concentrations of relevant criteria air pollutants (LSTs) during construction activities would
also be conducted in compliance with the recommendations of the SCAQMD Final Localized
Significance Thresholds Methodology (2003).
The regional criteria pollutant analysis will examine vehicular and stationary sources associated with
operation of the proposed project. Based on estimated vehicle trips, vehicular emissions of carbon
monoxide, ozone precursors (reactive organic gases and oxides of nitrogen), and small particulate matter
(PM,o) will be predicted and quantified using EMFAC 2007 emission factors and the SCAQMD's
recommended CalEEMod software, which will then be compared to the SCAQMD significance
thresholds to determine whether the proposed project would violate a State or federal air quality standard
or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. The criteria pollutant emissions
from future stationary sources (such as HVAC equipment) will also be estimated in the same manner.
The SCAQMD's regulatory structure to evaluate and offset these emissions will be described. The air
quality analysis will also qualitatively evaluate the potential exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial
pollutant concentrations where the project may cause emissions of identified pollutants in excess of the
pounds per day or tons per quarter standards established by the SCAQMD. Mitigation measures will be
identified for potentially significant impacts, and their effectiveness will be quantified to the extent
feasible.
Potential conflicts with or potential to obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan where it
may cause or contribute to emission of identified air pollutants in excess of levels stated in the plan or
where it may fail to implement a remedial or mitigation measure required under the plan will be analyzed.
The results of the updated air quality impacts analyses will be summarized in a memo to the City, and
also included as part of the Initial Study checklist prepared as part of Subtask 2E below.
Subtask 2C Conduct Noise Modeling
Atkins will use the results of the updated traffic analyses, information regarding construction phases,
schedules, and equipment, as well as information regarding specific activities and hours of operation to
model the potential noise impacts generated by the proposed project. By conducting the noise modeling
early in the environmental review process, Atkins can determine whether there will be significant noise
impacts, and if these impacts can be mitigated. If impacts to area noise levels are determined to be less
than significant (without new mitigation), Atkins will prepare noise impact analyses to be included as part
of an addendum to the previous MND. However, if new impacts to area noise levels are identified
Proposal to Prepare Environmental Documentation for the 222 Kansas Street Project 7
Ap-
I �ouumu um° IIIIIIIV�^ i Vuum�
VIII IIIIV Illlllllllllulllppm
and /or new mitigation measures to reduce new potential noise impacts are recommended, Atkins will
prepare noise impact analyses to be included as part of an updated MND.
Existing ambient daytime noise levels will be measured at locations (to be selected in coordination with
the City) within and around the proposed project site to establish current baseline noise levels. These
locations will be identified on a map. The daytime noise levels will be measured using a Larson -Davis
Model 814 precision sound level meter, which satisfies the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
for general environmental noise measurement instrumentation.
Noise will be characterized in the following terms:
• Ley, the equivalent energy noise level, is the average acoustic energy content of noise for a stated
period of time; for evaluating community impacts, this rating scale does not vary, regardless of
whether the noise occurs during the day or the night
• Lin, the minimum instantaneous noise level experienced during a given period of time
• L..., the maximum instantaneous noise level experienced during a given period of time
Existing 24 -hour noise levels will be calculated for various roadway segments in the project vicinity using
the Federal Highway Administration Highway Noise Prediction Model (FHWA -RD -77 -108) and current
traffic counts from the traffic report prepared for the project. The model will calculate the average noise
level at specific locations based on traffic volumes, average speeds, roadway geometry, and site
environmental conditions. Vehicle noise energy rates in the FWHA model will be modified to
incorporate rates utilized by Caltrans, which better represent vehicle noise levels in California. The
analysis of operational noise impacts will address future noise levels at the project site and in the project
vicinity. Future noise levels along the roadway segments in the project vicinity will be calculated to
determine whether traffic generated by the project causes a substantial increase in noise at off -site
locations.
Noise levels generated during construction will be estimated based upon anticipated construction
schedules, techniques, and building types, and all assumptions in the noise analysis will be consistent with
what is assumed in the air quality and transportation /traffic analyses. The potential for construction
noise to impact nearby noise - sensitive land uses (i.e., residences) will be characterized by quantifying
anticipated noise levels (e.g., based on distance). Furthermore, vibration impacts from project - related
construction activities will also be evaluated if any pile- driving or other vibration- inducing activities
occur.
For any impacts that exceed identified significance thresholds, feasible mitigation measures will be
identified, which may include modification of construction techniques or hours, changes in project
design or layout, provision of temporary or long -term barriers to noise transmission, or limitations on
outdoor nighttime activities. The results of the updated noise level impacts analyses will be summarized
in a memo to the City, and also included as part of the Initial Study checklist prepared as part of
Subtask 2E below.

Subtask 2D Review Updated Hazardous Materials Assessments
It is our understanding that updated investigations and remediation actions have taken place at the
proposed project site. As noted earlier, the on -site oil well has been abandoned by DOGGR and the
former on -site oil storage tanks no longer exist. The possibility of greater contamination of the site has
been identified more recently by the bank that obtained the property in foreclosure and the new property
owner understands that the issue will be re- studied and that they will be responsible for meeting
environmental remediation requirements as necessary. Atkins will conduct a thorough review of all
updated hazardous materials assessments prepared for the proposed project site in an effort to determine
if any new impacts currently exist. The results of this review will be summarized in a memo to the City,
and also included as part of the Initial Study checklist prepared as part of Subtask 2E below.
Subtask 2E Prepare Initial Study Checklist
Upon receipt of a Notice to Proceed, Atkins will begin collecting data to prepare an Initial Study
checklist. As deemed necessary, this will include updating database results (i.e., biological resources) and
contacting applicable agencies /city departments (i.e., cultural resources, public services, and utility
providers) to confirm potentially significant resources still do not occupy the site and area service
providers still have the capacity to service the new project. These tasks can be completed while
Subtasks 2A through 2D are being conducted. Preparing an Initial Study checklist will help determine
whether an addendum to the previous MND or a new updated MND is required for the proposed
project. Atkins will prepare an Initial Study checklist that is consistent with the procedural and
substantive provisions of CEQA Guidelines Sections 15063 and 15082 and Appendices C, G, and I. The
Initial Study will be prepared in conformance with a City- approved Initial Study checklist format. The
Initial Study will not include in -depth analysis that is typically included as part of an addendum or MND.
Rather the Initial Study will focus on whether or not any new impacts have been identified. If no new
impacts are identified, after conferring with the City, Atkins will proceed with Option 1, preparation of
an addendum to the previous MND. If new impacts or mitigation measures are identified, after
conferring with the City, Atkins will proceed with Option 2, preparation of an updated MND. Detailed
analyses will be included as part of either the addendum or updated MND, depending on which option
has been decided upon.

with the procedural and substantive provisions of CEQA Guidelines Sections 15063 and 15072 and
Appendices C and G. The objective of this task is to prepare a comprehensive, accurate, and objective
project -level Addendum for the proposed project that fully complies with CEQA and the CEQA
Guidelines (both as amended throughout submittal of the Draft Addendum) and all applicable guidance
and procedures established by the City for the purpose of environmental review.
The main purpose of the Draft Addendum will be to thoroughly and accurately analyze the
environmental impacts of the proposed project, as they are different from the previous IS /MND for the
project site. The document will be as free as possible of jargon so that the information it contains is
accessible to the City and the public. The methodology and criteria used for determining the impacts of
the project will be clearly and explicitly described in the Addendum, including any assumptions, models,
or modeling techniques used in the analysis.
The Addendum will be prepared in conformance with a City- approved Initial Study checklist format. All
seventeen CEQA issue areas will be sufficiently analyzed in the Addendum, with as much information
from the previous IS /MND used as possible while still maintaining legal defensibility. All appropriate
mitigation measures identified in the original IS /MND for these resources would be included in the
Addendum and incorporated into the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Since we would be
preparing an Addendum under this Option, it is assumed that no new mitigation measures will be
identified. The following resources will be analyzed in the Addendum.
• Aesthetics
• Agriculture /Forestry Resources
• Air Quality
• Biological Resources
• Cultural Resources
• Geology /Soils
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Hazards /Hazardous Materials
• Hydrology /Water Quality
• Land Use /Planning
• Mineral Resources
• Noise
• Population /Housing
• Public Services
• Recreation

It is assumed that key construction and operational features of the project would be available at the
beginning of work on the Addendum such that an accurate, finite, and stable project description could be
prepared prior to beginning substantial work on the Addendum. This approach has proven to result in
the most expeditious preparation and processing of an Addendum.
Atkins will prepare a Draft Addendum that incorporates all of the comments received from the City on
the Administrative Draft Addendum. This proposal assumes that the City will conduct one round of
review of the Administrative Draft Addendum and one round of review of the Draft Addendum, prior
to finalizing the document. If additional rounds of review are required, the budget and schedule will be
adjusted accordingly.
It is assumed that since the City does not plan on circulating the Addendum for public review, a Notice
of Completion is not required and County filing fees would not be needed. All technical studies, survey
results, data, and public /agency correspondence will be included as appendix material to the Draft
Addendum.

Completion, instead of a Notice of Availability, much like distribution of a Draft EIR.)
The objective of this task is to prepare a comprehensive, accurate, and objective project -level IS /MND
for the proposed project that fully complies with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines (both as amended
throughout submittal of the Draft IS /MND) and all applicable guidance and procedures established by
the City of El Segundo for the purpose of environmental review.
The main purpose of the Draft IS /MND will be to thoroughly and accurately analyze the environmental

It is assumed that the City will compile and transmit all written comments on the Draft IS /MND
throughout the public review period as one unified set of comments following the close of the 30 -day
public review period. Atkins will confer with the City to review written comments on the Draft
IS /MND, including comments from the public hearing, to develop a general strategy for preparation of
responses. To the maximum extent feasible, topical responses will be provided for broad issue areas if
there is extensive public comment. Atkins will consult with the project team to review and revise, if
necessary, the project schedule that was developed and reviewed as part of Task 1 based upon the
number of comment letters received. In addition, a matrix will be prepared that will identify each

Subtask 513 Prepare Administrative Final IS /MND (Response to
Comments and Text Revisions) and MMRP
The Response to Comments volume of the Final IS /MND will include all comments received, responses
to those comments, and standard introductory material. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program (MMRP) would be provided separately, but prepared concurrently with the Final IS /MND. All
comments will be numbered (to indicate comment letter and comment number), and the responses to
those comments will be similarly numbered to allow easy correlation. In addition, where the text of the
Draft IS /MND must be revised, the text will be isolated as "text changes" in the Response to
Comments, indicating deleted text by strikeout and inserted text by double- underline. The text of the
Draft IS /MND will not be revised. The Final IS /MND will collectively consist of the Draft IS /MND,
the Response to Comments document, and the technical appendices.
It is assumed that the Final IS /MND would be provided at least 10 days prior to consideration for
certification by the City to any commenting public agency and any member of the public who has
requested the document. Further, the MMRP will be designed to ensure compliance with all adopted
mitigation measures during project implementation. The MMRP will be in table format and will specify
project - specific mitigation measures, as well as standard conditions of approval that are applicable to the
project, if requested by the City. Mitigation timing and responsible parties will also be identified. The
objective of the MMRP is to ensure compliance with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, as
mandated by Assembly Bill 3180 (Cortese 1988), which requires that a lead agency adopt an MMRP at
the time an IS /MND is certified.
An estimated budget has been prepared for the responses to comments effort. While the actual scope
and extent of public comments (in either written or oral format) cannot be definitively determined at this
time, we have tried to provide a conservative, yet realistic, estimate of the scope of work that would be
required for this project, in order to avoid the need for a contract amendment.

Schedule
Atkins proposes the following schedule to complete an addendum to the previous MND within two
months of kick -off or an updated MND within three months of kick -off, as required by CEQA
Guidelines Section 15108. If a more aggressive schedule is desired, we would be happy to work with the
City to determine how this could be accomplished. Atkins understands the importance of meeting the
schedule outlined below and has confirmed technical staff availability to meet this schedule, assuming
that adequate information regarding the project and a mutually acceptable scope of services is available
when the City provides Atkins with a notice to proceed. Other factors that could lengthen or shorten the
schedule include dates of receipt of project information, length of City review, and unanticipated issues
arising from City staff or public review of the environmental documents.

The overall schedule for completion of the addendum or updated MND will specifically depend on
several factors, some of which are outside of Atkins' control. In particular, the availability of City staff to
review the revised project description, agree on the scope of the document, review the technical studies
(traffic, air quality and noise), and review the draft environmental document will be key factors. The
schedule includes the following specific assumptions:
• Receipt of complete and accurate project data within two weeks of the project kick -off meeting
• Stable project description throughout the environmental review process
• Receipt of complete and accurate technical reports within the schedule identified above
