representatives (including reasonable attorney's fees), from and
against any and all suits, actions, or claims, of any character whatever,

person or property resulting or arising from any negligent or wrongful

Agreement, or its performance, CONSULTANT will defend CITY (at
CITY's request and with counsel satisfactory to CITY) and will
indemnify CITY for any judgment rendered against it or any sums paid
out in settlement or otherwise.
iii. Exclusion for CEQA Actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

employees,
C. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions will survive

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

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

control over the work means that CONSULTANT will follow the direction of the CITY as to end
results of the work only.

records for a period of three (3) years following final payment under this
Agreement.

injury, and property damage for the policy coverage. Commercial General Liability
policy will be endorsed to name City, its officials, and employees as "additional

in effect for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated
( "extended insurance "). Such extended insurance will have the same coverage and
limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will
cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by City arising out of any errors or
omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time
this Agreement was in effect.

evidencing maintenance of the insurance required under this Agreement,

least a Rating of "A:VII."

expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from payments due to
CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate.

RE: Revised Proposal to Prepare CEQA Documentation for modifications proposed by LAL
Property to the Campus El Segundo Development
Dear Kim:
EcoTierra Consulting, Inc. (EcoTierra), in conjunction with Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc., is
pleased to submit this revised proposal to prepare environmental documentation for proposed
modifications to the land use entitlements for the Campus El Segundo (formerly El Segundo
Corporate Campus) Project proposed by LAL Property (the Applicant). This proposal replaces
our previous proposal dated June 30, 2014 in its entirety. As detailed further below, EcoTierra's
services would include preparing an Addendum to the previously - certified Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) for the El Segundo Corporate Campus Project (the Certified EIR). Our services
would include preparing environmental analysis and documentation pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and City of El Segundo (City) environmental review
procedures. The proposed staffing and resumes of proposed staff for this project are contained
in Attachment A to this proposal.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The Campus El Segundo Project (Project) is an approximately 2,175,000 square foot project on
an approximately 46.5 acre site that was approved by the City in 2001. The Project site is
bounded by Atwood Way and the elevated Metro Rail Green Line to the north, Douglas Street to
the east, Mariposa Avenue to the south and Nash Street to the west. The Project allows
development of a variety of primarily commercial land uses, including office, research and
development, light industrial /manufacturing, laboratories, technology, telecommunications and
web hosting facilities, hotel /conference center, retail, restaurant, service and recreational uses.
Part of the approved development was previously constructed and is currently in operation.
This includes office, retail and restaurant development located north of Maple Avenue, the
Hyatt Place hotel on the southeast corner of Nash Street and Maple Avenue, and the City -
operated soccer fields with associated parking lot and fire station located at the northeast
corner of Nash Street and Mariposa Avenue. A previously approved creative office campus is
presently under construction in the central portion of the Campus. The proposed revisions to
the land use entitlements for the Project would provide for further changes in the proposed
development of the remaining and currently vacant Campus El Segundo site at the northwest
corner of Douglas Street and Mariposa Avenue, not including any of the already developed
areas.

The Applicant is proposing to develop up to 115,000 square feet of corporate office space,
basketball operations space, and an exhibition court with permanent seating for up to 750
spectators, on a 5 -acre site within Campus El Segundo. This site was previously planned to
accommodate a five - story, up to 214,340 square foot, building with a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of
0.99:1. The Applicant's proposal would represent development density that is lower than
allowed by the existing approvals. A development agreement between the City and the
applicant as part of the 2001 approval established a.m and p.m. peak hour trip caps that would
limit the traffic impacts of the full Campus El Segundo project to the levels documented in the
Certified EIR. The proposed project would also include a signage program that would include
roof signs, identification signs, and fixed and changeable message signs tailored to the unique
nature of the project and the Lakers' brand.
SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work presented in this proposal assumes that preparation of an Addendum to the
Certified EIR would be permitted under CEQA and CEQA Guidelines. This is a reasonable
assumption in that the total development of the Project under the Applicant's proposed
changes would be less than was analyzed in the Certified EIR and subsequent Addendum(s) to
the Certified EIR. Accordingly, it is unlikely that the project changes as proposed would result in
new significant impacts or substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts, as
compared to the impacts that were disclosed in the Certified EIR. If new or substantially
increased impacts were to be identified, preparation of a Supplemental /Subsequent EIR would
be required.
Preparation of a traffic analysis and parking supply analysis related to the revised use of this part
of the Campus El Segundo site, particularly the inclusion of publicly- attended basketball games
and other events that were not anticipated under previous approvals is proposed to ensure that
the proposed changes to the existing approvals would not result in new significant impacts. The
scope of work also assumes that the environmental document will only be required to address
the effects of existing development and additional development as reflected in the Applicant's
updated site plan. To the extent that additional development beyond these assumptions is
required to be considered in the environmental analysis, the chances of meeting the
requirements of CEQA and CEQA Guidelines related to preparation of an Addendum could
conceivably diminish.
Task A: Preparation of an Addendum to the Certified EIR
EcoTierra will prepare a 1St Screencheck Draft Addendum to the Certified EIR in accordance with
the requirements of CEQA and State CEQA Guidelines for review by the City. The Addendum will
follow the format of the previous Addendums prepared for other projects in Campus El Segundo
and elsewhere in the City, including the following sections: Introduction /Justification for
Preparation of an Addendum, Original Project Description, Description of Proposed
Modifications to the Project (including project modifications and changes in circumstances),
Discretionary Actions and Environmental Analysis that compares the impacts of the Project as
presently proposed to the analysis and conclusions of the Certified EIR. The analysis will rely
primarily on the relative size of the proposed project revisions to the level of development
Agreement No. 4825

Page 3
permitted under the existing approvals, which is larger than the proposed project revisions, as
well as the inclusion of a new use (i.e., publicly- attended athletic events). Many of the impacts
of the project that are directly related to project size will be determined to be less than the
previous approval based on the size of the comparative projects alone.
This analysis will be supplemented by the following traffic analysis to be prepared by Kimley-
Horn and Associates. Kimley -Horn would undertake the following tasks to complete this
analysis:
• The Traffic Study will address the traffic - related impacts of the proposed development. The
study will address the following conditions:
• Existing Conditions
• Existing Plus Project
• Opening Year (Cumulative) Without Project
Opening Year (Cumulative) With Project
• Obtain a complete project description and a to -scale copy of the project site plan, including
building and hardscape footprints, square footages and proposed uses, site layout showing
all project driveways, parking supply, on -site vehicle flow lines, and any other site features
that will affect the flow of traffic into and out of the site.
The study will evaluate project impacts during the morning and evening peak hours on a
typical weekday at up to eight (8) area intersections. The following intersections are
suggested:
1. Douglas Street at Imperial Highway
2. Douglas Street at Atwood Way
3. Douglas Street at Campus Drive
4. Douglas Street at Mariposa Avenue
5. Douglas Street at El Segundo Boulevard
6. Aviation Boulevard at El Segundo Boulevard
7. 1 -405 Freeway SB ramps at El Segundo Boulevard
8. 1 -405 Freeway NB ramps at El Segundo Boulevard
• The study will also provide an evaluation of the on -site circulation and project access and
game day event traffic.
• Obtain current weekday morning and evening peak hour traffic count data for the study
intersections. To the extent applicable, available traffic count data from the 400 Duley Road
traffic impact study will be used. Traffic counts will be conducted at the remaining
intersections. For budgeting purposes, it is assumed that new counts will be required at up
to four intersections.
+ Develop project trip generation estimates for the proposed site uses. Trip generation
estimates will be based on applicable trip generation rates from the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (9th Edition), and will take into
Agreement No. 4825
Kimberly Christensen, AICP
City of El Segundo
October 6, 2014
Page 4
account the information and assumptions provided by the applicant regarding trip
generation and mode split assumptions.
• Develop trip distribution and assignment assumptions. We will submit trip generation and
trip distribution assumptions to City staff for concurrence prior to proceeding with the
analysis.
• Distribute the project traffic to the surrounding street system.
• Obtain Cumulative Project information from the City of El Segundo and surrounding cities.
We will start with the approved and pending project information compiled for recent
studies prepared for other projects in the vicinity, and contact each city to confirm and
update the information.
• Develop Opening Year peak hour forecasts at the study intersections using approved annual
growth rates and cumulative project traffic.
• Conduct intersection analysis for Opening Year Without Project conditions.
• Add the project's peak hour traffic to each study intersection, and conduct intersection
analysis for Existing Plus Project and Opening Year With Project conditions. Identify any
project impacts, and project mitigation, if necessary.
• Evaluate the proposed site access and on -site circulation provisions.
• Provide an analysis of traffic queuing at the project entrances for pre -game and post -game
conditions on event days.
• Conduct a signal warrant analysis for the project main entrance and for the intersection of
Campus Drive at Douglas Road.
• Prepare a stand -alone traffic study summarizing our analysis methodology, study findings,
and recommendations.
• Revise the report to respond to City comments (up to 6 hours), to the extent that the
revisions are within the approved scope of services and that no new data collection or
additional analysis is required.
• Assist in preparation of responses to traffic - related comments.
• Attend one project team meeting, and up to two Public Hearings.
• As an optional task, Kimley -Horn will conduct a third -party peer review of any parking study
or shared parking analysis prepared by the applicant's consultant.
In addition to traffic, the Addendum will individually address each environmental issue
previously addressed in the Certified EIR and document that no additional impacts or substantial
increase in the severity of previously- identified impacts would occur. An original analysis of the
Agreement No. 4825
Kimberly Christensen, AICP
City of El Segundo
October 6, 2014
Page 5
proposed signage program will be provided that addresses the visual and lighting impacts of
proposed signage within the context of limited sensitive receptors located on and in the vicinity
of the Corporate Campus Specific Plan area.
The document will be structured to provide substantial evidence for the City to meet the
requirements of CEQA and approve the Project on the basis of the information contained in the
Certified EIR and the Addendum.
The process for an Addendum would consist of: (1) preparing a 1st Screencheck Draft
Addendum for review by the City; (2) revising the I" Draft Addendum in response to City
comments; (3) submitting the Screencheck Draft Addendum to the City for a second review; and
(4) revising the Addendum in response to City staff comments as a final document for inclusion
in the record that would be considered by the City's decision makers.
Deliverables
EcoTierra will provide electronic copies in Adobe Acrobat (pdf) and /or Microsoft Word format,
of the first and subsequent Screencheck Draft Addendums to the City.
EcoTierra will provide up to 20 hard copies, 40 CDs, one camera ready hard copy, one electronic
copy in Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format, and one electronic copy in Microsoft Word (doc) format of
the final Addendum to the City. Appendices to the Addendum will be provided in CD format
only.
Task B: Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
EcoTierra will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) pursuant to
California Public Resources Code Section 21081.6. The MMRP is intended to ensure that
required mitigation measures are implemented during project construction and operation to
reduce potentially significant environmental impacts. The MMRP will contain an inventory of
mitigation measures, timing for implementation (e.g., prior to issuance of grading permits), the
responsible staff or agency assigned to monitor the condition, and a compliance statement. The
MMRP will be provided to the Lead Agency for attachment to the agency's resolutions that
certify the EIR.
Task C: Public Hearings
Attendance at various public hearings will also be required as a part of the CEQA process
associated with the Project. EcoTierra has estimated that two public hearings (one before the
Planning Commission and one before the City Council) will be required. Additional meetings
above this specified amount can be attended as needed on a time - and - materials basis, in
accordance with our hourly rate schedule. Kimley -Horn will also attend the Planning
Commission hearing and City Council meeting, unless their attendance is determined not to be
necessary by the City.

Relevant Experience
City of El Segundo Circulation Element / General Plan Update -- El Segundo, California —
Kimley -Horn provided transportation planning services for the update of the City's Circulation
Element. The primary focus of the effort was to update the future traffic projections using a
sub -area model based on the Southern California Association of Governments regional modal.
Kimley -Horn refined the regional model to, first reflect the current local street system and land
uses, and also to reflect revised land use plans for ultimate build -out of the city as well as
surrounding cities. The analysis evaluated varying densities of development in the downtown
area, and provided technical analysis of a number of network alternatives, including converting
Douglas and Nash Streets from a one -way couplet back to conventional two -way streets.
All analyses and recommendations associated with the Circulation Element were developed
consistent with the policies of all appropriate regional agencies and programs, including the Los
Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA), the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD), and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
City of El Segundo — Numerous Traffic Studies — Project Manager — Kimley -Horn has prepared
traffic studies for numerous projects in the City of El Segundo, including preparing the traffic
analysis for the Traffic Impact Fee update, providing on -call peer review services to the City for
traffic evaluations for the Plaza El Segundo project, and traffic impact studies for a number of
other hotel, office, and data center projects. Kimley -Horn is currently working with the
environmental team preparing the EIR for the Aquatics Center project, and with the team
preparing the environmental documentation for the Imperial School site residential project.

Sedne Ciandella, continued
Circulation Element, General Plan Update and EIR - Cypress, Cypress, CA – Project Manager.
Responsible for preparing the technical analyses to update the Circulation Element of the City's
General Plan. We developed a traffic analysis model to incorporate the impacts of land use
changes associated with several alternatives, including analysis required for incorporation into
the circulation section of the EIR for the General Plan Update. Analysis and recommendations
were developed to be consistent with policies of all appropriate regional agencies and
programs, including OCTA, South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), OCEMA,
and the Orange County Congestion Management Program (CMP). Project also involved
extensive interaction with the City's Planning Department, and the Public Works Department.
Costco Development, City of La Habra – Project Manager – Kimley -Horn prepared the EIR traffic
impact study for the Costco store located at the intersection of La Habra Boulevard and Beach
Boulevard in the City of La Habra. The study involved analysis of multiple intersections for
several scenarios, and required in -depth coordination with Caltrans. The final traffic study
included a separate HCM analysis of the Caltrans intersections, and a queuing analysis of the
left -turn pockets on Beach Boulevard at the La Habra Boulevard intersection to address Caltrans'
operational concerns.
The project was strongly opposed by some area residents, specifically over concerns of
neighborhood traffic intrusion. Kimley -Horn conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the
existing level of cut - through traffic through two separate neighborhoods adjacent to the project
site, and prepared a series of options for the residents to consider to prevent additional traffic
cut - through as a result of the Costco project.
Irvine Business Complex (IBC) Shuttle, Irvine, CA — Project Manager. Kimley -Horn conducted a
survey of potential shuttle users to determine the viability of establishing a shuttle service for
the Irvine Business Complex (IBC) in the City of Irvine. The survey measured the level of interest
for shuttle service amongst employees and residents of the IBC, MetroLink riders, and
employers in the IBC. Kimley -Horn also designed two shuttle routes which serviced the primary
employment centers in the IBC, John Wayne Airport, the Jamboree MetroLink station, and retail
and restaurant centers in and near the IBC. The shuttle route design included a commute period
routing and timing, and a separate route and timing for the lunchtime period. Kimley -Horn also
performed research into the operational characteristics of various shuttle vehicles that could be
deployed as part of the shuttle network, and identified potential funding that may be available
from federal, state, and local sources for the capital and operating costs of the shuttle system.
The IBC shuttle service was initiated in 2008.
Lakeshore Towers Parking Demand and Site Circulation Study, Irvine, CA – Project Manager.
Kimley -Horn conducted a complex, data - intensive parking demand study for a 600,000- square-
foot mixed -use development (office, health club, restaurant, and retail). The development is
served by an 1,800- space, Nevel parking structure, with card access for office employees,
keypad access for valet, and ticket /pay access for visitors and customers. Kimley -Horn
developed a data collection program that allowed us to identify the purpose, duration, and
parking accumulation total for every vehicle parked in the structure, for every hour that the
structure was in operation. Person -to- person surveys were conducted, with a delay of no
greater than five seconds to the incoming parker, to determine purpose; and a numbered card
system was used to determine parking duration.
Agreement No. 4825
Serine Ciandella, continued
A spreadsheet was then developed to automate the data compilation process. As result of the
analysis, a parking variance was obtained, and on -site circulation improvements were identified
and are currently being implemented.
University Village / Orchard Park Specific Plan — Loma Linda, CA — Project Manager. Kimley-
Horn prepared the Traffic Impact Study for the joint University Village / Orchard Park mixed -use
project in the City of Loma Linda. The traffic study was prepared in accordance with the San
Bernardino Congestion Management Program (CMP) requirements, and evaluated and
identified project - related traffic impacts at 28 intersections, including several intersections in
adjacent cities.
The project actually consisted of two Specific Plans, owned and planned by two separate
owners, but located side -by -side in the eastern portion of the City of Loma Linda. The University
Village Specific Plan consisted of a mixed -use development of 1,700 dwelling units and 172,000
square feet of commercial use on 170 acres. The Orchard Park Specific Plan consisted of over
960,000 square feet of neighborhood and regional commercial, and 1,260 dwelling units on 138
acres. On -site roadways were designed to be continuous across and through the two project
sites, including a traffic circle located on the boundary between the two projects, so that half
the circle was in University Village, and the other half was in Orchard Park. The two specific plan
areas were studied and cleared environmentally in one document. The traffic study evaluated
the traffic- related impacts of each of the Specific Plans individually, and then cumulatively.
Mitigation responsibility was also quantified individually for each project.
Christ College (Concordia University) General Plan Amendment and Campus Master Plan,
Irvine, CA — Project Manager. Kimley -Horn has provided transportation planning and traffic
engineering services for the Christ College Irvine Master Plan Update campus (now known as
Concordia University) since 1987. Along with evaluating the impact of building out the Campus
Master Plan on internal campus property and converting outer parcels to residential tracts,
Kimley -Horn efforts included a detailed campus -wide parking study, presentation of a parking
management plan, preparation of an application for administrative relief for the campus master
plan parking element, and adaptation of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Shared Parking
methodology to campus uses. Throughout the project, Kimley -Horn participated in an extensive
community outreach program, to address the concerns of the adjacent residents, who were
vigorously opposed to the project. Kimley -Horn attended numerous meetings and made
presentations to a variety of community groups and Homeowners Associations, as well as public
hearings of the Traffic Commission, Planning Commission, and City Council.

Traffic and Parking Study for South County Courthouse and Civic Center / Library Complex —
Laguna Niguel
Kimley -Horn prepared the traffic impact and parking analysis for the Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) for the South County Courthouse Expansion project in the City of Laguna Niguel.
The project was located on the site of the existing South County Courthouse, at the intersection
of Alicia Parkway and Crown Valley Parkway in the City of Laguna Niguel.
The project site contained the existing courthouse, which had four courtrooms; and the Laguna
Niguel branch library. The proposed project had four components:
1.Courthouse: Expansion of the existing courthouse to provide 14 new courtrooms and re-
use of the existing four courtrooms, for a total of 18 courtrooms when the project is
complete.
2.City Hall: Relocation of the City of Laguna Niguel City Hall facilities from its current
location in an industrial office park at La Paz Road and Shelley Road to a new 40,000
square -foot building on the project site.
3.Library: Expansion of the existing Laguna Niguel Library to provide an additional 3,050
square feet.
4.Office: Construction of a new 61,000- square -foot office building on the project site.
The traffic study provided analysis of 28 intersections, and included a lunchtime analysis and a
detailed analysis of pedestrian traffic at selected intersections, to address the impact of juror
activity for the expanded courthouse. The study also included a parking analysis to evaluate the
adequacy of the roposed parking supply for the site.
Metro Red Line Extension — Mid City Segment — Los Angeles, California — Kimley -Horn prepared
the traffic impact and parking analysis for the Environmental Impact Statement and
Environmental Impact Report for the Mid -City Segment of the Metro Red Line Extension in the
City of Los Angeles. The project involved preparing a detailed analysis of the traffic impacts of a
number of rail alignments and station locations and configurations for the 3.5 -mile extension.
The report included analysis of 27 intersections and 120 street segments, and a detailed
evaluation of station -area parking, circulation, and drop -off areas.
