RE: CONTRACT PLANNING ASSISTANCE
Dear Mr. Lee:
Pursuant to our meeting of last week, Pacific Municipal Consultants (PMC) is pleased to submit this
letter proposal to provide contract planning assistance to the City of El Segundo. PMC particularly
welcomes the opportunity to submit this proposal since the services being requested by the City have
been a mainstay of PMC's business since its establishment in 1995. Over the past 18 years, PMC has
become a recognized leader and innovator in the delivery of contract planning services in California,
while providing such services to nearly 100 public agencies across the state. Our experience in
performing discretionary development application processing for California communities is unsurpassed.
We understand the City of El Segundo is seeking the services of a senior project manager—level planner
to process discretionary development applications as a seamless extension of City staff. The desired
planner would serve as an adjunct to the City's planning manager and perform case processing under the
general direction of the planning manager and the director of planning and building safety. However, the
planner would need to be capable of working independently and with minimal direct supervision in
order to minimize the demands placed on City staff. The planner should possess strong research,
writing, and presentation skills and be capable of shepherding large, complex projects through the
development and environmental review process, from application intake to Planning Commission and
City Council action.
It is with this understanding of the City's needs that PMC is offering one of our senior project managers
to serve as a lead planner for discretionary development application processing. PMC would assign one
of our recently hired senior project managers, Trayci Nelson, to serve in this capacity. As you already
know, Trayci has been processing land use entitlements for development projects in El Segundo for the
last six years. She has served as the lead case planner for a number of projects including.
• 199 North Continental Boulevard Specific Plan
• 540 East Imperial Avenue Specific Plan
• Grand/Continental Campus Specific Plan (Mattel)
• 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard Specific Plan
• Chevron Central Reliability Center and Tool Room/Instrument and Electric Shop
• Aloft Hotel

Agreement No. 4505
Sam Lee, Director of Planning&Building Safety
September 26,2013
Page 2
This experience has enabled Trayci to become intimately familiar with the City's procedures for
processing discretionary development applications, and the City's expectations when performing
application processing. Her resume is enclosed.
Trayci's services would be provided to the City of El Segundo on an hourly, bifurcated basis: $95.00 per
hour for work performed on on-going projects and $120.00 per hour for work performed on new
projects. These hourly rates are fully burdened, and the City will not be charged extra for travel or
other indirect/overhead costs. Trayci would be available on an as-needed basis. However, based on her
work schedule in El Segundo over the past several years, it is anticipated that she would devote a
minimum of 24 hours of effort per week to processing applications for the City. It is further anticipated
that the City will realize full recovery of our costs for processing applications through the payment of
developer deposits. PMC's Deltek Vision financial software will allow application processing costs to be
tracked and billed on a project-by-project basis.This software will enable PMC to inform the City if and
when additional funds need to be deposited. Conversely, any unused deposits would be refunded to
applicants.
PMC truly appreciates your consideration and the opportunity to offer our professional planning
services to the City of El Segundo. We look forward to having Trayci continue to process discretionary
development applications for the City, but as a representative of PMC. If you have any questions, please
contact Al Warot at(562) 200-7169 or awarot @pmcworld.com.
Sincerely,
/Z . <-, 04,q V W M.
