Approve and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute a one (1) year Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for environmental consulting services with FirstCarbon Solutions, 250 Commerce, Suite 250 Irvine, CA 92620, for an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for Master Plan PA -17-11 in conjunction with future expansions for Vanguard University at 55 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92628, in the amount not to exceed $83,860.00, effective date June 21, 2017 — June 20, 2018. 2. Authorize the City Manager and the City Clerk to renew the agreement for two (2) additional one-year terms, upon mutual agreement of both parties. BACKGROUND Proposed Project 1. Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND): The IS/MND will analyze the environmental impacts of the proposed project. Significant environmental impacts will be mitigated to below a level of significance. 2. Master Plan PA -17-11: Master Plan for the future expansion(s) for development at the Vanguard University campus. The Master Plan will be used by the University to implement future developments which supports the collegial environment that the University will provide to the students, faculty, and the community. Proposal and Consultant Qualification On May 24, 2017, FirstCarbon Solutions submitted a proposal to prepare the IS/MND for the project as described above. The firm is on a rotating list of environmental consultants previously selected by the Development Services Department. A draft PSA was prepared in response to the proposal submitted by the consultant. Because the amount of the proposed bid exceeds $50,000.00, the PSA is required to be approved by the City Council in order to authorize the Mayor to sign and execute the PSA. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED The City's CEQA guidelines allows environmental documents to be prepared by in-house staff; however, the nature, scope, and complexity of this project and current staff demands does not make this a viable or practical option. FISCAL REVIEW There is no fiscal impact because the cost for this contract is 100% funded by the applicant and deposited in a City account that is managed by the Development Services Department. LEGAL REVIEW The attached PSA was prepared by the City Attorney's Office. There is no adverse legal impact anticipated by the City Council taking the recommended action(s), based upon the documents and information provided to this office. CONCLUSION Staff recommends that the PSA be approved by the City Council in order to authorize the Mayor to sign and execute the PSA.

It has a total land area of 16.8 square miles and a population of approximately 110,757. The City provides a wide range of services, including police and fire protection, animal control, emergency medical aid, building safety regulation and inspection, street lighting, land use planning and zoning, housing and community development, maintenance and improvement of streets and related structures, traffic safety maintenance and improvement, and a full range of recreational and cultural programs. The nation's single largest commercial activity center, South Coast Plaza Shopping Center, calls the City its home, as well as Orange County's largest non-profit arts organization, Segerstrom Center for the Arts; the Tony Award- winning South Coast Repertory; and the Orange County Fairgrounds. In addition to the City's 2015-2035 General Plan, the following approved plans are planned for future construction: • East 17th Street Specific Plan • Newport Boulevard Specific Plan • North Costa Mesa Specific Plan • Downtown Redevelopment Plan • South Bristol Entertainment & Cultural Arts (SoBeca) Urban Plan • Costa Mesa Theater and Arts District Plan • Orange County Fairgrounds and Exposition Center Master Plan • the Westside Urban Plans: 19 West, Mesa West Bluffs, and Mesa West Residential Ownership The City has recently completed a number of multiple affordable housing projects, live/work development projects, and residential developments, including the 2277 Harbor Boulevard Redevelopment Project, Lighthouse Live/Work Residential Project, and 2850 Mesa Verde Drive East Project for which FCS provided environmental consulting services. All projects were completed on time and on budget. Our past experience on City projects has demonstrated that City residents are actively engaged in City development and redevelopment efforts, and our team possesses the expertise to provide community outreach and scoping services, effectively respond to public comments and concerns, and support the City at public meetings and hearings. Furthermore, our attention to detail and QA/QC processes will help ensure that every environmental or technical document our team prepares is technically accurate, thorough and consistent, and legally defensible. We describe these processes in more detail below. NORTH AMERICA I EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRALIA I ASIA FIRSTCARBONSOLUTIONS.COM lJ FIRSTCARBON Project Summary Proposal 44 According to the Vanguard University Campus Master Plan Executive Summary, the proposed Master Plan includes twelve separate projects that involve the removal and/or reconstruction of buildings on campus. Vanguard University is zoned "Institutional & Recreation" (I&R). The current and proposed FAR has been established at .25 FAR inclusive of all facilities excepting current and/or future Student Housing. Based on the site area, this caps the total gross square footage of institutional and recreation facilities at 413,749 gross square feet. The total lot area of Vanguard University is 1,654,998 square feet on approximately 38 acres bounded by Fair Drive, Vanguard Way, and Newport Boulevard in the City. The Master Plan is intended to establish and document for approval by the City of Costa Mesa, Development Areas and Development Guidelines for future buildings and related site improvements within a Master Plan Framework. It is intended that the Development Areas (Areas) and Development Guidelines (Guidelines) remain fixed while allowing for the future development of buildings of various types (uses), size (square footage) and heights within these Areas, consistent with the Guidelines. The intent of the Master Plan is to enhance on campus pedestrian safety by removing internalized vehicular circulation and parking. Vanguard University recognizes the need to balance parking needs with enrollment as any individual project is developed and/or internalized parking is removed. Therefore, as individual projects are submitted for building department review, a parking loss/increase assessment will be provided to establish the net number of on -campus stalls compared with the then - current, on -campus, full -time -equivalency student enrollment. The following buildings are included in the Vanguard University Campus Master Plan: • Project A: Gym/Events Center—This project replaces the existing gymnasium and provides adequate facilities for Vanguard's athletics' program. The center court will also transform into an events center for the campus to gather during planned events. This facility removes parking (existing Lot K) that is currently internal to the campus and a safety hazard. An outdoor space/ quad will be created to the east of the facility, connecting this building to the campus core and improving pedestrian circulation. Project B: Student Center—This project removes the existing Cafe and Cove/Bookstore on campus, replacing them with a Student Center. The goal of this project is to build upon the collegial atmosphere of the campus while improving the facilities for campus food service, commuters, student clubs, etc. The development area for this facility includes the removal of parking lot L. The perimeter road that connects Vanguard Way to parking lot M will remain. This project will improve the campus quad and provide areas for students to gather, socialize, and study. • Project C: Maintenance & Operations/Warehousing—This project relocates maintenance and operations to the southwest corner of the University. This will create a new access point to the NORTH AMERICA I EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRALIA i ASIA FIRSTCARBONSOLUTIONS.COM Z.I FIRSTCARBON Propose SOLUTIONS' campus for deliveries. Deliveries will enter from Vanguard Way, directly to the facility. Campus vehicles will distribute materials as needed throughout the University. • Project D: Stem & Kinesiology—This project replaces antiquated Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Kinesiology facilities on campus. The project is planned in two phases within one development area along Newport Blvd. Because of the location of the existing Smith Building, Phase 1 will ideally retain the facility, while Phase 2 will require Smith's demolition. In addition to the academic facilities, limited parking and a service road will connect the North and South parking lots along Newport Blvd. This project will remove parking lots E & F. Both lots are internal to campus and pose safety concerns. • Project E: Multi -Disciplinary Academic Building—This project locates anew academic facility south of Scott Academic Center and west of Heath Academic Center. This project will both replace existing modular offices and classrooms and provide growth for the campus (classrooms and offices). • Project F: Learning Resource Center—This project locates a new Learning Resource Center (LRC) along the south edge of the campus core. The new LRC will replace the existing library and expand resources for all Vanguard students. • Project G: Student Housing—This project locates a Student Housing facility east of the new LRC. This facility could accommodate approximately 300 students depending on design and room size. • Project H: Central Plant—This project locates a central plant on campus. Dependent upon further engineering studies, the following sites within the Institutional Areas would be considered: Project A (Gym/Events Center), Project B (Student Union), Project D (STEM & Kinesiology). • Project I: Athletics—This project identifies ongoing improvements to the athletic facilities. • Project J: North East Parking—This project creates a new front entry for Vanguard University. Relocating the primary entry drive to the east allows direct access for vehicles to move into the parking lot and provides a formalized campus drop-off. The project also removes open space and re -organizes lots C and D. • Project K: Parking Structure—This project removes lots H and G, locating a parking structure along Newport Blvd. • Project L: Campus Beautification/Infrastructure—This project addresses all ongoing site improvements on campus. FCS proposes to prepare an IS/MND for the Campus Master Plan (project). In addition to preparing the IS/MND, FCS also proposes to peer -review the applicant -provided technical studies (Existing Tree Inventory and Water Quality Management Plan) for technical adequacy and legal sufficiency for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and we propose to prepare the following project -specific technical studies: Air Quality Impact Analysis, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Noise Impact Analysis, Biological Resources Assessment, Cultural Resources Assessment, Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, and Traffic Study. Similarly, information on land use and public services impacts made NORTH AMERICA I EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRALIA! ASIA FIRSTCARBONSOLUTIONS.COM —22-- FIRSTCARBON bULU 1 iUi'US Proposai 44 available by the City will also be reviewed by FCS. FCS will incorporate the findings, conclusions, and recommendations from all project -related technical studies into the IS/MND. As part of the IS/MND process, FCS will also prepare responses to comments on the environmental document and attend public hearings. FCS's OVERALL APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY FCS's goal is to provide cost-effective, technically -sound, and legally -defensible environmental consulting and documentation service, to the City. To this and we emphasize frequent, informal communication with our clients and prepare concise verbal and written summaries of project information. Our level of commitment is supported by our firm's management style of "No Surprises." As soon as we encounter a challenge, we will notify the City immediately and provide proven, short -and long-term strategies to remedy any situation we encounter, including emergencies and delays. Our project management philosophy revolves around an infrastructure of communication and assigning appropriately skilled resources to implement a given project scope. The repeat business we receive from our many valued clients is a result of our focused customer service philosophy. To effectively manage the CEQA process, FCS will work with City staff in balancing the collection of detailed environmental data necessary to comply with CEQA while confirming the applicability and need for any additional state and federal regulatory permits and/or more focused site analysis. Our approach will facilitate the development of a comprehensive impact analysis while simultaneously identifying the need for any future permit -level analysis and specific mitigation requirements, which streamlines the environmental compliance process and saves on costs. As part of developing a project -specific work plan, FCS seeks to utilize existing technical studies wherever possible before identifying studies that are needed to characterize existing conditions, as required under CEQA. Such studies provide the foundation for evaluating the significance of project impacts and identifying suitable mitigation measures. FCS encourages our clients to integrate environmental considerations early in the project planning process. The requirements of CEQA should be considered early enough for agencies to take into account environmental opportunities and constraints in the project design. Our experience has shown that by proactively incorporating environmental and permitting considerations into the project conceptualization, design, and planning phases at the earliest feasible time, project proponents can reduce and, in some instances, eliminate the need for agencies to acquire additional regulatory permits that can add months or even years to project completion schedules and substantially increase project costs. Our approach streamlines the environmental compliance process and facilitates the preparation of legally defensible documents that can withstand public scrutiny and potential legal challenge. Developing the Project Description One of the most important factors in preparing a legally defensible environmental document is having a complete and accurate understanding of the proposed project prior to initiating environmental analyses or review. This can result in significant time and cost savings for our clients. Initiating technical studies or NORTH AMERICA I EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRALIA' ASIA 4 FIRSTCARBONSOLUTIONS.COM FIRSTCARBON SOLO ION Proposal '44 environmental analyses at the appropriate time eliminates the need to backtrack and duplicate field efforts due to new or changed project circumstances. FCS will assist the City in defining the precise location and boundaries of all of the components, facilities, and associated infrastructure required to construct and operate the proposed project. We understand that because of scheduling constraints, consultants sometimes are required to move forward in the absence of such information. In this case, we will work with the City and its staff to define and document the project details as soon as possible and to identify when it might be appropriate to make certain assumptions to allow the project to remain on schedule. Preparing Technical Studies As demonstrated in the References portion of this proposal, FCS has extensive experience in conducting initial site assessments and preparing or peer -reviewing noise assessments, air quality studies, biological reports, cultural/historical resource reports, and other technical reports that may be required for purposes of CEQA. Our teaming partners—Environmental Assessment Specialists, Inc. (EAS), KWC Engineers, and Kunzman and Associates, Inc.—specialize in preparing Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, Traffic Impact Analyses, Grading and Drainage Plans, and Water Quality Management Plans, respectively. FCS will manage our team of technical specialists for this project and provide any billing detail and reporting to the City on the behalf of our team. Compliance with Processing and Legal Requirements FCS has established an excellent record of legal defensibility for environmental documents with our clients. We exercise particular care to ensure that our environmental documents contain thorough environmental analyses and explicit documentation of all data sources and research contacts. This approach reduces the potential for successful legal challenge. FCS's staff is experienced in conducting environmental documentation for controversial projects. We have developed research and documentation, and we use agency -accepted environmental assessment techniques that minimize avenues for legal challenge. FCS's in-house attorneys regularly monitor CEQA court decisions and CEQA Amendments to keep FCS managers abreast of legal precedents and compliance issues. FCS's environmental technical staff attends annual updates regarding CEQA compliance to maintain a current approach to legal compliance. All FCS project managers have years of experience preparing and managing project administrative records according to the requirements of CEQA and are well -versed in the various processing requirements that apply to specific types of environmental documentation, including minimum circulation periods, distribution and noticing requirements, and processing timelines. Quality Control FCS's system of quality control is much more than document review prior to submittal. It involves every step in the preparation of technical studies and environmental documents. Upon project initiation, all team members will be provided with a copy of the agreed-upon scope of work, allowing every individual involved with the project to understand the required work products, the content of the work products, and the prevailing schedule/budget constraints. Our in-house attorneys who oversee FCS's environmental services publications team will also oversee the overall Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) NORTH AMERICA I EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRALIA I ASIA 5 FIRSTCARBONSOLUTIONS.COM _24— FIRSTCARBON Proposal 44 process for this project. FCS's QA/QC Manager, Project Director, and Project Manager will coordinate all activities related to quality control/quality assurance, including multiple reviews of project documentation to ensure legal defensibility, technical accuracy, and objectivity. FCS's management team commits not only to review the "final product" but also to conduct a thorough review of all technical data and studies used to support our documents' findings and conclusions. This ensures that all of FCS's findings will be accurate and properly incorporated. Implementing Innovative and Creative Approaches In addition to the efficiencies and performance capabilities described above, the FCS team can ensure that this project will be executed with innovative and creative approaches. Our collaborative approach and rapid response times were instrumental in ensuring the success of the City's 2277 Harbor Boulevard Redevelopment Project, Lighthouse Live/Work Residential Lofts, and 2850 Mesa Verde Drive East projects. For all of these projects, FCS implemented our in-house QA/QC processes to ensure that all technical and environmental documentation was technically and legally sound, and internally consistent. FCS's Director and managers closely supervised these project teams and maintained a keen eye for detail on all draft work products. All issues were handled proactively and thoroughly, and the City was extremely complimentary of FCS's assistance at the public hearings. For the 2277 Harbor Boulevard Redevelopment Project, which faced multiple hurdles and opponents, FCS provided specialized analyses to support the City's view on specific incentives. For example, affordable housing was provided on-site to allow for higher densities. Clustering of buildings provided more open space. FCS worked closely with City staff and the City attorney to resolve issues related to the removal of affordable housing and satisfy all related public concerns. For the 2850 Mesa Verde Drive East Project, FCS accommodated the City's expedited timeline and completed the project through City Council approval in less than three months. FCS'S EFFORTS TO SATISFY THE SCOPE OF WORK FCS has prepared the following scope of work to respond to the City's objectives for this project and process. Task 1—Project Initiation FCS's Project Director and Project Manager will attend one kickoff meeting with the applicant's project team and the City to discuss project plans, identify data requirements, coordinate activities, and ensure that the deliverable schedule is consistent with the overall project timeline. As part of this task, FCS will perform a project site reconnaissance to review site conditions vis-a-vis project plans. FCS will also peer - review applicant -provided technical studies, will review other background information provided by the City/applicant as received, and will provide prompt feedback as to the adequacy of the applicant - provided technical reports for use in the IS/MND. Deliverable • One kick-off meeting NORTH AMERICA I EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRALIA i ASIA FIRSTCARBONSOLUTIONS.COM -- �� FIRSTCARBON SOLUTIONSTV Task 2—Project Description Proposal 44 FCS will prepare a complete Project Description for City/applicant review and approval and will ensure that it clearly describes and illustrates the proposed development activities, required discretionary approvals, and any other pertinent information. Any changes to the Project Description after completion of this task may require separate authorization and budget augmentation and may extend the project schedule. Deliverable • Project Description Task 3—Technical Studies FCS will prepare technical studies/memorandums for the analysis of the environmental topics described below. FCS will also summarize and incorporate all technical studies/memorandums prepared for the project into the IS/MND. Subtask 3.1—Prepare Air Quality Impact Analysis FCS will conduct an air quality analysis that will include an evaluation of short-term (construction) and long-term (operational) impacts. The analysis will follow South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) guidance. The analysis will be performed in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines and applicable standards of local agencies. FCS will prepare a technical report to support the IS/MND. Completion of the analysis requires the following tasks. Subtask 3.1.1—Conduct Air Pollutant Emissions Analysis FCS will include a general discussion and quantitative estimate of potential short-term construction and long-term operational regional criteria air pollutant and toxic air contaminant (TAC) emissions. FCS will use thresholds of significance and the screening criteria in the SCAQMD Air Quality Assessment Guidelines for the analysis. Air pollutant emissions associated with construction and operation will be estimated using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMod) emission model. Construction related impacts include equipment exhaust emissions, fugitive dust emissions, and reactive organic gases (ROG) emissions. The modeling will incorporate the type and size of the proposed uses, construction phasing schedule, and other construction data (duration of construction, area of land to be disturbed/graded, etc.). This scope assumes modeling and analysis for up to four construction phases for the proposed project. Based on the current project description, this scope includes up to 20 hours for CaIEEMod emissions modeling. Major changes to the project features, design, schedule, or other parameters that precipitate revisions to the emissions modeling may also warrant a budget augment. Changes to the project that occur after completing the analysis that require re -modeling will be considered additional work that is not covered by this scope of work. NORTH AMERICA I EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRALIA i ASIA FIRSTCARBONSOLUTIONS.COM _2 FIRSTCARBON Proposal 44 FCS will provide the applicant with a Request for Information that includes all necessary construction and operational parameters required to model air quality emissions. This scope assumes relevant data (horsepower and numbers of construction equipment, hours of use for emergency generators, etc.) for the construction and operational analysis will be provided by the project applicant. However, in the event that project -specific information is not available, FCS will work with the applicant to develop reasonable assumptions that are based on professional experience. Subtask 3.1.2—Conduct Localized Significance Threshold Analysis for Construction There are two methods by which the localized significance threshold (LST) analysis may be conducted. The first method is to compare the project's on-site emissions to relevant LSTs from the SCAQMD's look- up tables for the source receptor area where the project is located. The second method is to conduct dispersion modeling, wherein pollutant concentrations at nearby sensitive receptors are estimated using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) AERMOD air dispersion model and, with ambient background concentrations, are compared with the concentration -based federal and state ambient air quality standards. The second method is to conduct dispersion modeling, wherein pollutant concentrations at nearby sensitive receptors are estimated using the EPA AERMOD air dispersion model and, with ambient background concentrations, are compared with the concentration -based federal and state ambient air quality standards. FCS will first analyze construction impacts using the SCAQMD's LST lookup screening tables. Emissions will then be estimated considering an unmitigated scenario. If the construction emissions result in a significant local construction air quality impact before mitigation, FCS will apply generally accepted mitigation measures to reduce impacts to less than significant levels. If after mitigation the emission impacts still exceed the significance thresholds, FCS will proceed with the air dispersion modeling assessment of the localized construction emissions without mitigation and with mitigation to provide a refined estimate of impacts. This scope assumes modeling and analysis for up to four construction phases for the proposed project. Based on the current project description, this scope includes up to 20 hours for emissions modeling. Major changes to the project features, design, schedule, or other parameters that precipitate revisions to the emissions modeling may also warrant a budget augment. Changes to the project that occur after completing the analysis that require re -modeling will be considered additional work that is not covered by this scope of work. Subtask 3.1.3—Conduct Localized Significance Threshold Analysis for Operations FCS will develop estimates of the project's operational impacts from criteria air pollutants including carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PMlo), and particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM2,5). Long-term operational emissions would be quantified, including an evaluation of the criteria pollutant emissions associated with the proposed power plant. It is anticipated that the majority of the project's operational emissions would result from mobile source emissions that occur on the local roadway network. Therefore, it is anticipated that the project's operational LST analysis can be sufficiently addressed using SCAQMD's LST look -up tables. NORTH AMERICA I EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRALIA i ASIA 8 FIRSTCARBONSOLUTIONS.COM FIRSTCARBON SOLUTIONST'" Proposal I Subtask 3.1.4—Evaluate Health Risk Impacts from Construction and Operations Based on the proximity of sensitive receptors in the project vicinity, FCS recommends performing a health risk assessment (HRA) to evaluate potential construction -related health risks. The two major TACs that affect health impacts in the air include diesel particulate matter (DPM) and total organic gases (TOG). DPM from the operation of diesel trucks and construction equipment has been identified by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) as a carcinogen that can result in long-term health impacts. In addition, TOG emissions from the operation of both diesel and gasoline vehicles also contain chemical components that have short-term health impacts. Although short-term in nature, construction -related TAC emissions could expose nearby sensitive receptors to elevated levels of TACs. Therefore, FCS will prepare an HRA that is consistent with the current SCAQMD health risk guidance for CEQA assessments. FCS will make a significance finding for the construction -related health risk impacts on the existing nearby sensitive receptors. If the project exceeds the applicable SCAQMD health risk significance thresholds, FCS will identify mitigation measures that would reduce the health risk impacts to the extent feasible. Two scenarios result in an operational TAC exposure: when a TAC source is sited near existing sensitive receptors, or when a sensitive receptor is placed near an existing source of TACs. In the first scenario, the proposed project would include a new central power plant on campus that is assumed to include emergency backup diesel generators and boiler systems. The two major TACs that affect cancer levels in the air are diesel particulate matter (DPM) and total organic gases (TOG). DPM from the operation of diesel -fueled equipment has been identified by the ARB as a carcinogen. In addition, TOG emissions from the operation of diesel engines and fuel consumed by a new boiler (natural gas) will also contain chemical components that have been identified as carcinogenic. Therefore, FCS will prepare an HRA to assess the potential health impacts to nearby sensitive receptors as a result of the project's daily operational activities. In the second scenario, implementation of the project would introduce sensitive receptors (in the form of expanded on -campus residential housing) to TAC emissions from the adjacent State Route 55. Therefore, an operational HRA analysis will be performed utilizing AERMOD to quantify TAC emission impacts to future residents of the proposed on -campus student housing from traffic on State Route 55. This scope assumes one comprehensive round of modeling potential TAC impacts to the proposed project. Based on the current project description, this scope includes up to 30 hours for AERMOD emissions modeling for operational impacts. Major changes to the project features, design, schedule or other parameters that precipitate revisions to the emissions modeling may also warrant a budget augment. Changes to the project that occur after completing the analysis that require re -modeling will be considered additional work that is not covered by this scope of work. Subtask 3.1.5—Conduct Odor Analysis Two scenarios result in odor or TAC exposure: when a generator of odor or TACs is constructed near a sensitive receptor, or when a sensitive receptor is placed near a source of odor or TACs. Odor impacts associated with the proposed project will be assessed qualitatively according to SCAQMD's NORTH AMERICA I EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRALIA I ASIA FIRSTCARBONSOLUTIONS.COM -29- a FIRSTCARBON recommended methodology and other applicable parameters, such as acceptable screening trigger distances, wind direction, and odor complaint history. Subtask 3.1.6—Significance Finding/Mitigation Measures FCS will make a significance finding before and after mitigation for potential impacts. If the project exceeds construction, operation, or odor significance thresholds, FCS will identify mitigation measures that would reduce criteria pollutants emissions. Measures from the CalEEMod mitigation component will used to reduce project emissions, if needed. Any design features and mitigation measures included in the project will be discussed in the analysis. Deliverable • One (1) electronic copy of the Air Quality Analysis Subtask 3.2—Prepare Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis FCS will prepare a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions analysis that will include an evaluation of short-term (construction) and long-term (operation) impacts. The analysis will follow SCAQMD guidance and will be performed in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines and applicable standards of local agencies. FCS will prepare a technical report to support the IS/MND. Completion of the analysis requires the following tasks. GHG emissions associated with construction and operation of the project will be estimated using CaIEEMod. The SCAQMD has not finalized GHG thresholds, but has provided draft tiered thresholds. FCS will use a tiered threshold approach that compares the project's amortized construction emissions and operational emissions to the SCAQMD bright line threshold for commercial projects, which is 3,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MT CO2e) emissions per year. If the project exceeds the bright line threshold, FCS will prepare an analysis based on consistency with reduction targets required to achieve the goals of Assembly Bill (AB) 32. The City of Costa Mesa does not currently have an adopted climate action plan or greenhouse reduction goals or thresholds. Therefore, for purposes of this analysis, FCS will evaluate the project's design and purpose with the applicable regional climate action plan (e.g., Scoping Plan). The analysis will also address the recent State Supreme Court ruling on the Newhall Ranch project and will utilize current approved methods for quantifying GHG impacts. Subtask 3.2.1—Significance Finding/Mitigation Measures FCS will make a significance finding before and after mitigation for potential impacts. If the project exceeds GHG emissions thresholds, FCS will identify mitigation measures that would reduce GHG emissions. Measures from the CaIEEMod mitigation component will used to reduce project emissions, if needed. Any design features and mitigation measures included in the project will be discussed in the analysis. Deliverable • One (1) electronic copy of the GHG Emissions Analysis NORTH AMERICA I EUROPE I AFRICA I AUSTRALIA I ASIA 10 FIRSTCARBONSOLUTIONS.COM -- Za FIRSTCARBON Subtask 3.3—Prepare Noise Impact Analysis FCS will prepare a Noise Impact Analysis to evaluate project -related construction and operational noise impacts on surrounding land uses. To perform this analysis, the following tasks are required. Subtask 3.3.1—Compile and Summarize Background Information The general characteristics of sound and the categories of audible noise will be described. The regulatory framework related to noise, including applicable federal, state, and city plans, policies, and standards will be summarized. The existing noise environment will be documented through traffic noise modeling and an ambient noise monitoring effort (up to ten short-term measurements in the project vicinity) to establish the baseline ambient noise environment conditions for comparison to the City's land use compatibility standards. Subtask 3.3.2—Conduct Construction Noise Impact Analysis Construction of the project would require the short-term operation of heavy equipment. The EPA recommended noise emission levels will be used for the construction equipment. The construction noise impact will be evaluated in terms of maximum levels (Lmax) or hourly equivalent continuous noise levels (LeJ and their frequency of occurrence.

Arizona Military Regional Compatibility Project: Davis–Monthan Air Force Base (AFB)/Tucson/Pima County Joint Land Use Study, City of Tucson, AZ The Davis-Monthan AFB Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) is part of the Arizona Military Regional Compatibility Project, which was conceived as a proactive statewide endeavor to convene the stakeholders around each base—the relevant jurisdictions, base personnel, landowners, and other interested parties—to address land use compatibility issues. Arizona is home to a network of United States military airports and installations that, in addition to Davis-Monthan AFB, include Luke Air Force Base, Yuma Proving Ground and Yuma Marine Air Corps Station, Fort Huachuca, and the Barry M. Goldwater Range (BMGR) Complex. Development of incompatible land uses in the vicinity of Arizona's military facilities constrains their ability to perform current and future missions. These incompatible uses expose people to safety and noise effects ranging from nuisance to physical harm. In response to these issues, State legislation amending Title 28, Article 7, Airport Zoning & Regulation (ARS §28-8480, §28-8481, and §28-8482) mandates that areas within high -noise or accident potential zones be addressed in municipal general plans and county comprehensive plans and require that land development within the high -noise or www.FirstCarbonSolutions.com ( � S , CORPORATE RESUME FIRSTCARBON SOLUTIONS TM JOHN DE MARTINO-GIS SPECIALIST accident potential zones be compatible with military airport operations. The purpose of the Davis- Monthan AFB JLUS is to facilitate the implementation of compatible land uses around the Base through a cooperative program that includes the City of Tucson and Pima County (who have the authority and responsibility to implement compatible land use planning and regulation), Davis-Monthan AFB, and other interested and affected parties, including institutions, corporations, and individuals. The purpose of this JLUS and a challenge for the Tucson community is to protect Davis-Monthan's mission and its economic benefits while increasing the economic diversity and viability of the community through facilitating development in ways that are compatible with the Base's mission. To accomplish this, the JLUS Program uses existing data to understand issues of land use compatibility and proposes specific and achievable implementation strategies based upon sound compatibility criteria. Mr. De Martino served as the primary cartographer and GIS Specialist for the Davis-Monthan AFB JLUS. As such, he prepared high- quality maps for all reports and presentations, led staff in the field collection of GIS data using Trimble GPS equipment and Nikon total station for sub -meter accuracy and was responsible for designing and building complex geodatabases and data dictionaries for data creation/collection. Mr. De Martino also provided GIS analysis and employed spatial modeling techniques, analyzed aerial and satellite imagery, and provided on-site ArcPad training for client staff. He also integrated computer-aided design (CAD) data into the GIS environment to facilitate the analysis of land use compatibility issues and the development of strategies for land acquisition to facilitate the acquisition of interests (including development rights and land trades) for land that is critical to preserving the Base's mission.

BLANKET ADDITIONAL INSURED (ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS AND SURVEYORS) This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following: COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY COVERAGE PART A. The following is added to WHO IS AN INSURED (Section 11): Any person or organization that you agree in a "contract or agreement requiring insurance" to in- clude as an additional insured on this Coverage Part, but only with respect to liability for "bodily in- jury", "property damage" or "personal injury" caused, in whole or in part, by your acts or omis- sions or the acts or omissions of those acting on your behalf: a. In the performance of your ongoing opera- tions; b. In connection with premises owned by or rented to you, or c. In connection with "your work" and included within the "products -completed operations hazard". Such person or organization does not qualify as an additional insured for "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal injury" for which that per- son or organization has assumed liability in a con- tract or agreement. The insurance provided to such additional insured is limited as follows: INSURANCE (Section 111) for this Coverage Part. B. The following is added to Paragraph a. of 4. Other Insurance in COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY CONDITIONS (Section IV): However, if you specifically agree in a "contract or agreement requiring insurance" that the insurance provided to an additional insured under this Cov- erage Part must apply on a primary basis, or a primary and non-contributory basis, this insurance is primary to other insurance that is available to such additional insured which covers such addi- tional insured as a named insured, and we will not share with the other insurance, provided that: (1) The "bodily injury" or "property damage" for which coverage is sought occurs; and (2) The "personal injury" for which coverage is sought arises out of an offense committed; d. This insurance does not apply on any basis to any person or organization for which cover- C. age as an additional insured specifically is added by another endorsement to this Cover- age Part. e. This insurance does not apply to the render- ing of or failure to render any "professional services". f. The limits of insurance afforded to the addi- tional insured shall be the limits which you agreed in that "contract or agreement requir- ing insurance" to provide for that additional insured, or the limits shown in the Declara- tions for this Coverage Part, whichever are less. This endorsement does not increase the limits of insurance stated in the LIMITS OF after you have entered into that "contract or agreement requiring insurance". But this insur- ance still is excess over valid and collectible other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis, that is available to the insured when the insured is an additional insured under any other insurance. The following is added to Paragraph 8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us in COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY CON- DITIONS (Section IV): We waive any rights of recovery we may have against any person or organization because of payments we make for "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal injury" arising out of "your work" performed by you, or on your behalf, under a 'contract or agreement requiring insurance" with that person or organization. We waive these rights only where you have agreed to do so as part of the "contract or agreement requiring insur- ance" with such person or organization entered into by you before, and in effect when, the "bodily CG D3 81 09 07 © 2007 The Travelers Companies, Inc.

Page 1 of 2 COMMERICAL GENERAL LIABILITY injury" or "property damage" occurs, or the "per- sonal injury" offense is committed. D. The following definition is added to DEFINITIONS (Section V): "Contract or agreement requiring insurance" means that part of any contract or agreement un- der which you are required to include a person or organization as an additional insured on this Cov- erage Part, provided that the "bodily injury" and "property damage" occurs, and the "personal in- jury" is caused by an offense committed: a. After you have entered into that contract or agreement; b. While that part of the contract or agreement is in effect; and c. Before the end of the policy period.

At the present time, the City of Costa Mesa, as a sub -grantee of Federal funds under a variety of programs, is required to abide by this Act. The City Council has expressed its support of the national effort to eradicate drug abuse through the creation of a Substance Abuse Committee, institution of a City-wide D.A.R.E. program in all local schools and other activities in support of a drug-free community. This policy is intended to extend that effort to contractors and grantees of the City of Costa Mesa in the elimination of dangerous drugs in the workplace. PURPOSE It is the purpose of this Policy to: 1. Clearly state the City of Costa Mesa's commitment to a drug-free society. 2. Set forth guidelines to ensure that public, private, and nonprofit organizations receiving funds from the City of Costa Mesa share the commitment to a drug-free workplace. POLICY The City Manager, under direction by the City Council, shall take the necessary steps to see that the following provisions are included in all contracts and agreements entered into by the City of Costa Mesa involving the disbursement of funds. 1. Contractor or Sub -grantee hereby certifies that it will provide a drug-free workplace by: A. Publishing a statement notifying employees that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in Contractor's and/or sub -grantee's workplace, specifically the job site or location included in this contract, and specifying the actions that will be taken against the employees for violation of such prohibition; B.

Notify the employer of any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace no later than five (5) days after such conviction; E. Notifying the City of Costa Mesa within ten (10) days after receiving notice under subparagraph 1 D 2 from an employee or otherwise receiving the actual notice of such conviction; F. Taking one of the following actions within thirty (30) days of receiving notice under subparagraph 1 D 2 with respect to an employee who is so convicted: 1. Taking appropriate personnel action against such an employee, up to and including termination; or 2. Requiring such employee to participate satisfactorily in a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program approved for such purposes by a Federal, State, or local health agency, law enforcement, or other appropriate agency; -- 13 0 SUBJECT POLICY EFFECTIVE PAGE NUMBER DATE DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE 100-5 8-8-89 3 of 3 G. Making a good faith effort to maintain a drug-free workplace through implementation of subparagraphs 1 A through 1 F, inclusive. 2.

Contractor and/or sub -grantee has made a false certification under paragraph 1 above; b. Contractor and/or sub -grantee has violated the certification by failing to carry out the requirements of subparagraphs 1 A through 1 G above; c. Such number of employees of Contractor and/or sub -grantee have been convicted of violations of criminal drug statutes for violations occurring in the workplace as to indicate that the contractor and/or sub -grantee has failed to make a good faith effort to provide a drug-free workplace. 3. Should any contractor and/or sub -grantee be deemed to be in violation of this Policy pursuant to the provisions of 2 A, B, and C, a suspension, termination or debarment proceeding subject to applicable Federal, State, and local laws shall be conducted. Upon issuance of any final decision under this section requiring debarment of a contractor and/or sub -grantee, the contractor and/or sub -grantee shall be ineligible for award of any contract, agreement or grant from the City of Costa Mesa for a period specified in the decision, not to exceed five (5) years. Upon issuance of any final decision recommending against debarment of the contractor and/or sub -grantee, the contractor and/or sub -grantee shall be eligible for compensation as provided by law. -13i-
