RE: Proposal to Prepare CEQA Documentation for proposed modifications to the 400
Duley Road Project
Dear Kim:
EcoTierra Consulting, Inc. (EcoTierra), in conjunction with Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc. and
Pomeroy Environmental Services, is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare environmental
documentation for proposed modifications to the land use entitlements for the 400 Duley Road
Project (Project). As detailed further below, EcoTierra's services would include preparing an
Addendum to the previously- adopted Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS /MND) for
the Project (the Adopted IS /MND). 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 Project was approved and the IS /MND was adopted by the City in November, 2014. The
approved Project consisted of up to 70,000 square feet of office campus development and
surface parking. The Project Applicant has subsequently submitted applications for
modifications to the previous approvals, consisting of changes in square footage and inclusion of
a new use (medical office) in the Project. In addition, the Project site plan would be modified to
include an underground parking garage.
The project site is located in a commercial area of the City at the southeast corner of Duley Road
and Mariposa Avenue. The project site is currently vacant and was previously occupied by a
wind tunnel testing facility. The El Segundo Corporate Campus Specific Plan area, including City
Fire Station No. 2, is located to the north of the project site. Commercial, industrial and
government (U.S. Postal Service) uses are located to the east, south and west of the project site.
The Los Angeles Air Force Base is located approximately one - quarter mile southeast of the
project site.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
The scope of work presented in this proposal assumes that preparation of an Addendum to the
Adopted IS /MND would be permitted under CEQA and CEQA Guidelines. This is a reasonable
assumption in that the impacts of the previously approved development were well below the
applicable significance thresholds. Accordingly, even though additional traffic would be
generated by the new medical office use, 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 Adopted IS /MND. If
new or substantially increased impacts were to be identified, preparation of a Supplemental or
Subsequent IS /MND would be required.
Task A: Preparation of an Addendum to the Adopted IS /MND
EcoTierra will prepare a 1s` Screencheck Draft Addendum to the Adopted IS /MND 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 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 Adopted IS /MND.
Updated Traffic Analysis
The 400 Duley Road project was approved for 70,000 square feet of office development on the
southeast corner of Duley Road and Mariposa Avenue in the City of El Segundo. The trip
generation estimates for the project were based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE) Trip Generation Manual (9th Edition) Land Use Category 710 — General Office. The
applicant now proposes to modify the project to include medical office use in one of the
buildings. The trip generation rates for a Medical Office use are higher than the rates for
General Office. An updated traffic impact study is required to assess the impacts of this
proposed revision.
Kimley -Horn shall perform the following tasks to complete the updated traffic study:
The updated study will evaluate the same study intersections as the approved traffic
study. An annual growth rate factor will be applied to the traffic counts collected for
the approved traffic study.

0 Develop revised project trip generation estimates for the revised site uses.
• Distribute the project traffic to the surrounding street system. (The same trip
distribution and assignment assumptions from the approved traffic study will be used
for the revised project.)
Obtain Cumulative Project information from the City of El Segundo and surrounding
cities. 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.

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.

Update the approved traffic study with the revised findings and recommendations.
Updated Air Quality, Noise and Greenhouse Gas Analysis
Pomeroy Environmental Services will update the previously prepared air quality, noise and
greenhouse gas analyses to reflect the updated traffic information. In addition, these analyses
will be revised to reflect construction of the proposed underground parking garage. The same
modeling methodology and sensitive receptors will be incorporated as were used in the
previous analysis.
In addition to traffic, the Addendum will individually address each environmental issue
previously addressed in the Adopted IS /MND and document that no additional impacts or
substantial increase in the severity of previously- identified impacts would occur. 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 Adopted IS /MND 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 15` Draft Addendum in response to City
comments; (3) submitting the Screencheck Draft Addendum to the City for a second review; and

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.

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, 7 -level 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.

Serino 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.
Senne Ciandella, continued
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.
