All projects and programs funded by these federal grants must undergo environmental reviews and/or assessments. On-Call Environmental Review Services for Federally Funded Programs July 6, 2021 Page 2 1 8 5 8 On March 1, 2021, the City of Santa Ana issued a Request for Proposals (RFP #21-017) to retain on-call environmental consultants to provide environmental reviews and/or assessments on an as-needed basis. The RFP was posted on the City's PlanetBids portal and a total of 285 firms were notified who had previously requested to be informed of such opportunities as well as other firms that staff identified through research. The deadline for the first round submission of complete proposals was Thursday, April 1, 2021 at 5:00PM. The Community Development Agency received eleven proposals before the submission deadline, which met the minimum application requirements of the RFP following a minimum threshold review by staff. For the evaluation of the proposals received under the RFP, staff formed a review panel consisting of five staff from the Community Development Agency. The review panel met on Thursday, April 8, 2021 to review the proposals and then again on Friday, April 23, 2021. Each proposal was evaluated by the review panel based only upon the evaluation criteria in the RFP. The following table summarizes the results of the evaluation by the review panel, providing the average score and ranking for each proposal: Rank Proposal Submitted By Average Score* 1 Rincon Consultants, Inc.95.4 2 Chambers Group, Inc.91.2 3 Michael Baker International, Inc.89.9 4 AECOM 89.6 5 PSOMAS 86.6 6 Harris and Associates 81.6 7 Atlas Technical Consultants 80.8 8 Infrastructure Engineers 80.2 9 Ultra Systems 78.4 10 Kimley Horn 76.2 11 CAJA Environmental Services 65.6 * Maximum score was 100 points The top-ranked proposals were from Rincon Consultants, Inc., Chambers Group, Inc. and Michael Baker International, Inc.

Rincon recently completed the Categorical Exclusion for the Santa Ana Library Renovations Project for the Community Development Agency (Housing Division), and our historic team is continuing to consult for potential impacts to historic resources. We also recently completed an Initial Study- Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Westview Housing Project for the Planning and Building Agency (Planning Division). Through these projects and over 20 other projects completed under our on-call contracts since 2015, we have developed unique insight with the range of environmental and socioeconomic issues present in the City.

Scope of Services C.1 Environmental Services At Rincon, we understand the need to become an extension of City staff in conducting the environmental review process. Rincon project managers and analysts are skilled at assisting agencies in not only meeting the legal requirements of the NEPA and CEQA processes, but also in ensuring a project is consistent with the City’s ordinances and codes and the relevant standards of other local or State agencies (e.g., California Department of Transportation, John Wayne Airport, County of Orange, Regional Water Quality Control Board, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife). Our teamwork approach will ensure that the City has direct access to strong technical expertise, and our local experience helps to ensure understanding of community issues and local political concerns. In addition to assisting our clients with the NEPA/CEQA process, our environmental planning group also regularly prepares a broad range of technical studies (such as air quality, noise, biology, and cultural resources) to help design teams develop projects that avoid or minimize significant environmental effects. As described below, our team members have prepared many of these studies for the City of Santa Ana. Since 2015, we have prepared over 20 environmental documents for the Housing Division, including NEPA Categorical Exclusions (CEs) and Environmental Assessments (EAs), and surveys for asbestos and lead, as well as CEQA documents for the Planning Division. As such, we are highly familiar with both local requirements as well as broader agency requirements. The scope of work for any environmental document or specialized technical study will depend upon the nature of the project being analyzed and will vary from project to project. We have assumed that most documentation will involve NEPA review, a lesser number will involve CEQA review, and that a range of specialized studies will also be requested. The following briefly describes our approach to preparing the types of documents likely to be required under this contract. C.1.1 Approach to NEPA Document Preparation Upon receiving an inquiry from the City on a particular project with federal agency involvement, an early step will be determining what level of NEPA review will be required. Rincon’s project manager will obtain a detailed description of the project, and will consider the location, scale, and timeframe of implementation. Preliminary EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana On-Call Environmental Review Services for Housing Division 4 research of the site will be conducted and existing technical studies and environmental documentation will be consulted. NEPA documentation could include CEs or EAs. Scopes for Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) are not included below because the type of projects we have worked under the current and previous on-call have included affordable housing development and capital improvement projects which have not resulted in significant impacts (based on federal criteria) that cannot be avoided. However, Rincon can provide a scope and cost for an EIS, as required for a specific project. In addition, Rincon will conduct Section 106 consultations and historic compliance review. For current projects under our on-call, we have not submitted projects through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) online portal, the HUD Environmental Review Online System (HEROS). However, our team has been trained to use the HEROS platform and will be able to execute this task as a Partner User for City staff when necessary. Exemption or Categorical Exclusion Not Subject to Section 58.5 Activities that, by their nature, do not cause changes in the physical environment are exempt under 24 CFR 58.34 or excluded under 24 CFR 58.35(b). For these projects, a Notice of Exemption or a Categorical Exclusion Not Subject To (CENST) Section 58.5 will be prepared. This includes completion of the 24 CFR 58.6 Compliance Documentation Checklist, which addresses flood protection, the Coastal Barrier Resources Act, and runway clear zones. Categorical Exclusion Subject to Section 58.5 Activities that are not exempt or excluded per 24 CFR 58.35(b) are checked against the criteria in 24 CFR 58.35(a) to determine whether they are categorically excluded subject to (CEST) Section 58.5 or whether an EA or EIS may be required. NEPA CESTs are available under 24 CFR 58.35(b) for those actions that either do not create any changes in the physical environment, or make minor modifications associated with continued use of the property for the current land use designation. Generally, the content of a CEST is as follows.  HUD’s Statutory Worksheet, which covers issues addressed in 24 CFR 58.5 (issues addressed include historic preservation, floodplain management, wetland protection, coastal zone management, sole source aquifers, endangered species, wild and scenic rivers, the Clean Air Act, the Farmland Protection Policy Act, environmental justice, noise abatement, explosive and flammable operations, hazardous materials, and airport clear zones)  24 CFR 58.6 Compliance Documentation Checklist, which addresses flood protection, the Coastal Barrier Resources Act, and runway clear zones Data sources used for CESTs will be field reviews, topographic maps, available land use maps, flood zone maps, coastal zone maps, airport hazards maps, and available information regarding the presence of sensitive habitats and/or species. Much of this information is available from online databases maintained by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other federal and State agencies. Noise assessments will be performed where necessary, utilizing HUD methodologies and the HUD Day/Night Noise Level Electronic Assessment Tool (an online noise calculation tool). Historical review of the properties will be based on the specific methodologies described below for compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Air quality analyses will be based on the type of activity and whether quantification is necessary. Rincon will prepare the CEST in HEROS directly as a Partner User for City staff’s review, and will submit the final environmental review in HEROS after revising per staff comments. EXHIBIT 1 Scope of Services Rincon Consultants, Inc. 5 EA/FONSI Process When an activity is not exempt and cannot be categorically excluded from NEPA, Rincon will prepare an EA using the HUD short form checklist, unless the project would clearly require an EIS under 24 CFR 58.37. In the event that an EIS may be required, we will advise the City regarding the feasibility of preparing an EA as a means of focusing the EIS and as an aid in the formal scoping process for the EIS. We will also advise the City regarding the estimated cost and timeframe associated with an EIS, to allow an informed decision with respect to going forward with the project. EAs will be prepared in accordance with NEPA and HUD requirements as outlined in 24 CFR Part 50, 24 CFR Part 58, and 36 CFR Part 800. The following outlines the general contents of an EA.  Project proponent information  Conditions for Approval  Finding  Statement of Purpose and Need for the Proposal  Description of the Proposal  Description of Existing Conditions and Trends  24 CFR 58.5 Statutory Checklist  Environmental Assessment Checklist, covering issues related to land development, socioeconomic concerns, community facilities and services, natural resources, and other factors (from the 24 CFR 58.6 checklist) At the conclusion of the EA, Rincon will recommend either a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) or a finding of significant impact. If applicable, Rincon will prepare the EA in HEROS directly as a Partner User for City staff’s review, and will submit the final environmental review in HEROS after revising per staff comments. C.1.2 Approach to CEQA Document Preparation Similar to the NEPA process described above, upon receiving an inquiry from the City on a particular project, it will be important to determine early on what level of CEQA review will be required. Rincon’s project manager will consider the location, scale, and timeframe of implementation, along with preliminary research of the site and review of the current CEQA Guidelines for all technical studies and environmental documentation. The following is a typical procedure we will employ for an Initial Study-Mitigated Declaration (IS-MND) and an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana On-Call Environmental Review Services for Housing Division 6 IS-MND Process  Task 1 - Kickoff Meeting. A Kickoff Meeting will be held with City staff to confirm study objectives and approaches, communication protocol, and schedule.  Task 2 - Project Description. Rincon will prepare a description of the proposal being analyzed in the EIR, including descriptions of the site and its location, project characteristics relevant to the EIR analysis, project objectives, and required discretionary approvals. This typically includes textual, tabular, and graphic presentation. The Project Description will be submitted within one to two weeks of the Kickoff Meeting and receipt of information regarding the project.  Task 3 - Administrative Draft IS-MND. The Administrative Draft IS-MND will be provided. Timeframes will typically vary between three and six weeks, depending on the complexity of the project and the types of accompanying technical studies required.  Task 4 - Public Review Draft IS-MND. Rincon will typically deliver the Public Review Draft IS-MND within one to two weeks of receipt of comments on the Administrative Draft IS-MND. The Public Review Draft EIR will circulate for a period of 20 to 30 days.  Task 5 - Final IS-MND. Rincon will prepare written responses and submit them to staff for review within one to two weeks of receipt of all comments received by close of the public review period. . The Final IS-MND will typically be provided within one to two weeks of receipt of all City comments regarding the responses. The Final IS-MND will be in the form of a single document that includes the Draft IS-MND, mitigation measures and mitigation reporting/mitigation monitoring program (MMRP), as well as any necessary corrections and all agency and public comments and responses to comments. If desired, we can also prepare CEQA findings for the project in conjunction with the Final IS-MND. EIR Process  Task 1 – Kickoff Meeting. A Kickoff Meeting will be held with City staff to confirm study objectives and approaches, communication protocol, and schedule.  Task 2 - Initial Study/NOP. Rincon will prepare an Initial Study checklist with supporting discussion, typically within two to three weeks. The Initial Study will cover all items on the City’s environmental checklist and will include facts and analysis to support all conclusions. Upon City approval of the Initial Study, we will circulate a Notice of Preparation (NOP) of a Draft EIR.  Task 3 - EIR Scoping Meeting. If desired, a scoping meeting will be held during the 30-day NOP period to introduce the community to the proposed project and obtain input on the EIR scope of work (note: scoping meetings are required only for “regionally significant” projects).  Task 4 - EIR Project Description. Rincon will prepare a description of the proposal being analyzed in the EIR, including descriptions of the site and its location, project characteristics relevant to the EIR analysis, project objectives, and required discretionary approvals. This typically includes textual, tabular, and graphic presentation. The Project Description will be submitted within approximately two weeks of the Kickoff Meeting and receipt of information regarding the project.  Task 5 - Administrative Draft EIR. Rincon will prepare an Administrative Draft EIR within six to eight weeks of release of the NOP. The EIR will typically include the following:  Executive Summary - Summary of the proposed project and associated environmental consequences presented in tabular format to simplify review by decision-makers and the general public  Introduction and Environmental Setting - Introductory sections (required by CEQA) that lay the groundwork for and summarize the substantive analysis to follow; the introduction describes EXHIBIT 1 Scope of Services Rincon Consultants, Inc. 7 the purpose and legal authority of the study, and provide a discussion of lead, responsible and trustee agencies; the environmental setting provides a general description of the existing urban geographic character of the City and the site vicinity  Environmental Impact Analysis - Analysis of impacts determined in the Initial Study to be potentially significant; includes four main components: − Setting (description of current conditions with respect to the issue in question, including the existing regulatory environment) − Impact analysis (discussion of potentially significant effects of the proposed project; impacts are typically compared to established “thresholds of significance”) − Mitigation measures (methods by which significant effects can be reduced or eliminated) − Level of significance after mitigation (discussion of whether or not proposed mitigation measures reduce impacts to below the adopted significance threshold) □ Other CEQA-Required Discussions - EIRs also include other discussions required by the State CEQA Guidelines, including an analysis of potential growth-inducing impacts, a listing of significant irreversible changes, and a discussion of areas of public controversy. □ Alternatives - See discussion below.  Task 6 - Draft EIR. Rincon will incorporate City comments on the Administrative Draft EIR and complete the Draft EIR, typically within two to three weeks. The Draft EIR will circulate for a period of 30 to 45 days.  Task 7 - Final EIR. Rincon will complete the Final EIR after the receipt of all written comments received during the review period. The Final EIR will consist of the comments, responses, and corrections to the Draft EIR (if any are warranted), and the MMRP. If desired and required, we will also prepare CEQA Findings and a Statement of Overriding Consideration for the project. □ Response to Comments - Within two to three weeks of receipt of all comment letters on the Draft EIR, Rincon will submit draft Response to Comments. Within one week of receipt of City comments on the draft report, Rincon will prepare the final Responses to Comments. □ Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program - Concurrent with the Responses to Comments report, Rincon will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan, which will be included in the Final EIR. EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana On-Call Environmental Review Services for Housing Division 8 □ Notice of Determination - Within five days of EIR certification and project approval (if any), Rincon will submit the draft Notice of Determination (NOD) to the City for delivery to the County Clerk and/or State Clearinghouse. C.1.3 Alternatives For EAs and EIRs, a reasonable range of alternatives will be identified during the course of the study in concert with City staff. For EIRs, evaluation of alternatives will normally be in less detail than that for the proposed project, though the analysis will provide decision-makers and the public adequate information to decide between alternatives. This section will also identify the "environmentally superior alternative." If the “no project - no building” alternative is determined to be environmentally superior, the EIR will identify the environmentally superior alternative among the remaining scenarios. In addition, NEPA requires analysis of each project alternative in an equal level of detail so all project alternatives will be analyzed in a single “Environmental Consequences” chapter. C.1.4 Public Hearings/Meetings From Rincon’s experience working on many similar projects, we understand the need to effectively engage the public in the planning and environmental analysis process. Communication with the stakeholders will be important in ensuring the success of most large-scale EIRs. Rincon will prepare materials for, attend and participate, as needed, in all major public meetings, including public workshops, open houses, and public hearings leading up to certification of the EIRs. Depending on the City’s preference, noticing, public circulation, and filing of notices with the County Clerk, and the State Clearinghouse if necessary, will also be part of Rincon’s scope of work. C.2 Historic Compliance Review Under this task, Rincon’s Architectural History team will provide historic compliance review. Work efforts will include providing thorough, defensible documentation in support of Section 106 and CEQA compliance, through field surveys, eligibility evaluations, impacts assessments, and the preparation of technical reports. Rincon will also assist the Housing Division in ongoing compliance review and provide input as needed. Our architectural history staff has extensive experience supporting the City of Santa Ana in these efforts and has a long track record of completing successful projects towards this end. As a result, we are deeply knowledgeable in the resources, regulations, and other considerations that guide historic compliance review in the City. C.2.1 Section 106 Review For each identified project, Rincon will coordinate with the City to determine whether Section 106 review is required. For projects requiring Section 106 review, the following subtasks would typically be performed by Rincon: 1. Coordinate with the City and SHPO as needed to establish the Area of Potential Effects (APE) 2. Following APE map approval by SHPO, initiate Section 106 outreach to interested parties and stakeholders; in accordance with 36 CFR 800.4(a)(3), outreach will include the Native American Group contact program and the local historic group/local government contact program EXHIBIT 1 Scope of Services Rincon Consultants, Inc. 9 3. Request a records search of the California Historical Resources Information System from the South Central Coast Information Center to identify any previously recorded cultural resources within the APE 4. Complete literature review and focused archival research to characterize the construction chronology and historic setting of each of-age property; previous studies and historic context statements will be used to the maximum extent practicable to streamline project schedule and resources 5. Complete a historic property assessment, according to NRHP criteria, for all of-age buildings, structures, sites, and other built environment features within the APE 6. Document the results of the historic property assessment in a Section 106 Survey Report; all properties 50 years of age and older within the APE will be recorded on Department of Parks and Recreation Series 523 forms 7. For APE properties found NRHP eligible, assess the effect of the proposed undertaking on the historic properties; the report will make one of three findings: “No Effect, No Adverse Effect, or Adverse Effect” 8. Analyze the proposed undertaking for compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties; where project components might not comply with the Secretary’s Standards, Rincon will coordinate with the City to make recommendations for feasible project modifications that would eliminate or minimize adverse environmental effects 9. Incorporate the results of the analysis into the Finding of Effect report completed for the project Assumptions Based on our previous work with the City, Rincon assumes the following regarding the scope of work for historic compliance review:  Based on our experience working with SHPO and HUD on similar projects, it is assumed that the APE would be limited to direct effects; should a broader indirect APE be required, cost may be higher should additional properties require assessment and recordation  A maximum of one of-age built environment property will need assessment and recordation; should additional properties require assessment and recordation, the costs may be higher  No more than one NRHP-eligible or designated historic property will require project-level review for Secretary’s Standards compliance  Since projects will involve rehabilitation of existing buildings (and no excavation, demolition, or new construction), it is assumed for EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana On-Call Environmental Review Services for Housing Division 10 purposes of this scope of work that no archaeological survey would be required, although Rincon can provide this service as needed  A direct cost of approximately $500 for most record search fees C.3 Hazards/Site Assessment Rincon has provided environmental services, such as Phase I ESA, Phase II ESA, and hazardous materials services for the City of Santa Ana since 2000. Between 2000 and 2015, Rincon prepared over 50 documents that included either Phase I ESA, or asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and LBP surveys. C.3.1 Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments Phase I ESAs are used to determine current and historical site uses, are useful tools to identify the likely presence of contaminants at a site, and are recommended to meet due diligence standards for property acquisition. While Phase I ESAs are typically prepared to meet ASTM standards, not all Phase I ESAs provide equal value. Rincon tailors a Phase I ESA to meet client and project specific needs, and ensures that the most relevant information is clearly described and easily accessible. For this contract, Rincon will perform Phase I ESAs in accordance with ASTM E1527-13, Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process, but using strategic approaches tailored to meeting the City’s needs. Phase I ESAs will be performed by support staff under the supervision or responsible charge of a qualified Environmental Professional as defined in ASTM E1527-13. The scope of work for a Phase I ESAs is detailed in ASTM E1527-13 and consists of four tasks: Records Review, Site Reconnaissance, Interviews, and Report.  Record Review. A records review will be conducted to help identify potential environmental liabilities associated with current and past uses of the project site. The review will include both environmental information and historical use information readily available in public records and the records maintained by the City, as well as performing a computer database records search in accordance with minimum search distances and required database specified in ASTM E1527-13. Environmental agency file reviews will be conducted for unauthorized release sites that fall within a project site, adjacent properties, or nearby properties that would be expected to impact the site. Applicable historical use information will also be assessed by a review of two or more of the following: Sanborn Fire Insurance maps, city directory listings, USGS topographic maps, aerial photographs, and building permit files. In addition, property tax records, chain of title reports, or lien search reports, will be reviewed, if provided by the City.  Site Reconnaissance. Rincon will coordinate with the City to appropriately access a site and conduct a reconnaissance to identify obvious potential environmental liabilities. Immediately adjacent properties (as accessible) will be visually inspected from public thoroughfares. Site use practices that may have impacted the property will be reviewed, including: storage tanks, drums and containers, chemical/waste storage, stained soil and stressed vegetation, drains, sumps, solid waste, and wells. Rincon also provides in-house Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)/Drone services that can be utilized for large undeveloped or difficult to access areas to capture high resolution aerial imagery that can be reviewed to identify potential environmental liabilities.  Interviews. Rincon will conduct interviews with site owners, or a designated representative of a site owner (as identified by the City), past site owners, and occupants/tenants to obtain additional information regarding past and present site uses as they may have affected the property. Rincon will EXHIBIT 1 Scope of Services Rincon Consultants, Inc. 11 coordinate with the City for authorization to contact the proposed interviewees and to obtain the contact information.  Reports. Rincon will prepare reports in accordance with the requirements of ASTM E1527-13. The reports will document the information and findings of the research conducted in the above tasks, include a series of maps identifying existing site and nearby land uses and provide conclusions regarding the potential presence and impact of environmental site conditions. The Phase I ESA report will be signed by the Environmental Professional and will include the required declaration statement. For reports covering large areas, Rincon may also present the data in an ArcGIS Web Application that allows for the user to easily view the site boundaries, adjacent property land uses, areas of potential environmental concern and quickly access detailed additional information on items of concern in an interactive, interned-based format. The benefit of using an ArcGIS Web application allows the technical documentation and data to be located in one place for reference. Further, if the Phase I ESA moves to a Phase II ESA, the Phase II ESA data can be included in the ArcGIS Database to build upon the Phase I ESA allowing one central database for the technical reports and spatial data for a project. C.3.2 Phase II ESA The objective of a Phase II ESA is to evaluate the nature and extent of contamination and to assess the significance of the contamination relative to established threshold levels or some other risk-based criteria. Phase II ESAs will be developed by the Phase II ESA TA Manager in coordination with the PM, who is a California-licensed Professional Engineer, and the PIC, who is a California-licensed Professional Geologist and Certified Hydrogeologist. We understand that a Phase II ESA project under this contract may involve assessment of soil, groundwater, soil vapor, water pipelines and related infrastructure materials, and/or building materials. Assessment is typically conducted in phases, which may include a preliminary site assessment, one or more subsequent phases of assessment, periodic monitoring, risk assessment, and an evaluation of risk- based cleanup levels. The assessments also involve working within established regulatory agency guidelines for assessment and reporting. That said, Rincon approaches Phase II ESAs holistically; we balance the benefits of a phased approach with the benefits of optimizing data collection during a single mobilization to meet project deadlines. While each project will be scoped, developed, and implemented consistent with the City’s needs and relevant site-specific information, our approach to Phase II site investigations will include the following tasks.  Work Plan. After the initial kick-off meeting with the City (and potentially a regulatory oversight agency, if applicable), Rincon will develop a scope of work to achieve the established goals of the assessment. A work plan will be prepared that details the following: project objectives; site history and background; regulatory framework; pre-field work tasks (e.g., permitting, notifications, utility clearance, etc.); site assessment tasks – methodology and procedures; laboratory analysis; quality assurance/quality control; reporting; and project schedule.  Health and Safety Plan. Prior to commencement of an assessment, a site-specific health and safety plan (HSP) will be prepared. For complicated sites or site with high levels of contamination, an additional review may be performed by Rincon’s Health and Safety Officer pending site conditions. A site safety meeting will be held whereby all field personnel will be informed of possible site conditions and provided with a copy of the HSP. During the field work, daily tailgate meetings will be held prior to the commencement of each day’s activities and a copy of the HSP will be onsite at all EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana On-Call Environmental Review Services for Housing Division 12 times. All site personnel, subcontractors, and visitors who enter the exclusion zone will be required to sign the HSP form on a daily basis.  Sampling of Desired Media. Upon receipt of the City’s approval of a work plan (and regulatory oversight agency approval, if applicable), samples will be collected by support staff and overseen by the project manager. Samples can be obtained using a variety of methods, including, but not limited to, surface grab sample, shallow hand auger sample, backhoe sampling, high-flow/low-flow groundwater sampling, soil vapor sampling, direct push sampling, or hollow-stem auger or air rotary drilling. As described in Section 6.1, Rincon has assembled a team of subcontractors capable of supporting anticipated project needs. The appropriate sampling methodology is dependent on the following: suspected source of contamination (point source versus non-point source); suspected type of contaminant (volatile or non-volatile); media affected (soil, groundwater, and/or soil vapor); anticipated depth of contamination; and soil/geologic conditions at a site. Depending on the scope of work, soil vapor wells, soil vapor probes, groundwater monitoring wells, groundwater extraction wells, or other sampling devices may need to be installed at a site. Permits for wells will be obtained, if necessary. Licensed professionals will perform or oversee the installation of sampling devices, where applicable. Prior to any subsurface assessment, Underground Service Alert utility notification service will be contacted and the area to be disturbed will be identified. In addition, the proposed locations will be provided to the City for the identification of possible subsurface utility conflicts.  Laboratory Analyses. Depending on the project schedule and budget, samples will be analyzed through an onsite laboratory (for very quick turn-around projects) or through a fixed laboratory (standard schedule project). A California-certified laboratory approved by the City will perform all analyses.  Data Analysis and Reporting. Sample analytical results will be tabulated and maps depicting sample collection points and pertinent data will be prepared. The data analysis will include a discussion of the nature and extent of contamination, and recommendations for follow-up work, if needed. Site closure, if appropriate, will be considered following all assessments. Additional assessment, remediation, or health risk assessment will be considered if site closure does not appear to be a viable alternative. All aspects of the Phase II ESA will be conducted under the direct oversight of a California Professional Geologist, or a California Professional Civil Engineer. Our on-staff California Professional Geologist, or a California Professional Civil Engineer, will sign and stamp all assessment reports. C.4 Additional Technical Studies Besides historic and the site assessment work described above, under our current on-call contracts with the City, we have prepared or peer reviewed technical studies for air quality, greenhouse gas emission, noise and vibration. Our environmental planning professionals are skilled in the preparation of a broad range of technical studies in support of the CEQA and NEPA documents, including air quality, aesthetics, biological resources (wetland delineation, special status species analysis), noise, and greenhouse gas emissions. Often, these studies are performed prior to finalization of a proposed project to assist project design teams in developing a project that avoids or minimizes significant environmental effects at the design phase. These studies have included, for example, simple special-status species surveys used in site selection and feasibility, as well as more detailed protocol level surveys to meet specific ordinance and permitting agency requirements. Our environmental planning team has also supported the City with the development and implementation of mitigation monitoring and reporting programs, EXHIBIT 1 Firm or Personnel Experience Rincon Consultants, Inc. 13 including revegetation and habitat restoration that may arise through the environmental planning process. Rincon has extensive experience preparing the types of technical reports that might be required by the City under a contract for environmental impact analysis. The following report products can all be prepared in-house by our qualified team:  Air Quality Study  Noise and Vibration Impact Study  Biological Resource Assessment  Greenhouse Gas Emissions  Health Risk Assessment  Hydrology/Water Quality Study  Water Supply Assessment  Photometric and Light Studies  Environmental Permitting As stated previously, when detailed studies for transportation concerns are required, we have an excellent and long-standing relationship with Ganddini Group, who is specifically qualified for transportation impact assessments. Most recently, we have collaborated with Ganddini Group for the La Ville Soleil Mixed-Use Project in the City of San Gabriel, Vincent Place Residential Project in the City of West Covina, and the 7650 Balboa Boulevard Project in the City of Los Angeles. See their qualifications in Section F.1, below. D. Firm or Personnel Experience D.1 On-Call Project Experience Rincon offers extensive experience providing on-call environmental services to California municipalities and our team brings unique qualifications to assist with ensuring that projects will be managed in an efficient, transparent, and ethical manner.

Chambers Group has 67 active employees across a range of technical fields and supporting roles. Services include: • CEQA and NEPA compliance • Habitat restoration and revegetation • Biological surveys and agency consultations • Geographic Information Systems (GIS) • Biological, Cultural, and Marine and Aquatic resources • Environmental planning and permitting • Construction mitigation monitoring C. Scope of Services Environmental Services (including CEQA and NEPA Document Preparation) The following scope highlights the CEQA and NEPA environmental document process. Detailed scope and deliverables will be provided on a project-by-project basis. We understand that the projects would support project applicants, property owners, developers, and City staff. Peer Review Applicant and City-prepared CEQA documents and technical studies will be reviewed by Chambers Group to ensure that each resource area has been adequately analyzed and that questions in the CEQA Appendix G checklist have been answered thoroughly. Chambers Group will review any regulatory information pertinent to the project and call out any changes required based on guidelines published by the Office of Planning and Research if applicable. Either CEQA-level or detailed technical reviews will be completed on technical studies provided depending on the level of effort needed by the City or Applicant. Chambers Group will also review City and Applicant prepared documents to ensure compliance with the City’s General Plan, City Code, specific City plans, and/or Development Code. CEQA Our experienced group of environmental planning staff has an in-depth understanding of CEQA that ensures that we are able to determine the correct CEQA document for the project. Our approach to CEQA is always tailored to each individual project; so, based on the project, level of controversy/complexity, and environmental impacts, we pick the right document to be good stewards of public funds. Public Scoping, Meetings, Hearings, and Participation For typical projects, Chambers Group plans to attend the following: • Project Kick-off meeting with City staff, and other required project attendees • Internal meeting prior to Planning Commission meeting • Scoping Meeting (if required) • Planning Commission meeting • Public Comment Meeting (if elected) • City Council hearing for a decision on the project (if necessary) • Public/Community Outreach EXHIBIT 2 RFP #21-017: On-Call Environmental Review Services for the Housing Division City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency 3 63675 Scoping Meeting and/or consultations with agencies are not required by CEQA, but can be a useful tool to supplement required scoping periods. Chambers Group will coordinate with the City, and other agencies deemed appropriate to identify the environmental areas to be evaluated, and the methodological approaches to be used, if requested. A Public Scoping Meeting may be held to present the proposed project to the public and provide them with an opportunity to relay their concerns and suggestions for the environmental studies. A record of these meetings and consultations will be included in the CEQA document. Prior to each meeting, a flyer will be distributed notifying interested persons of the workshop. The focus of these meetings will be to gather concerns of the: • Project stakeholders; • property owners/occupants adjacent to the project site, and • public interest groups, and other concerned individuals. The information gathered during scoping meetings and public comment meetings are helpful in gathering the required information to properly analyze the environmental document for a project, whether it is a Negative Declaration (ND), Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and/or Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR)/Final EIR. Kick-Off and Scoping Meetings After receiving a notice to proceed (NTP) for a project from the City, Chambers Group will be prepared to meet with the City and other relevant parties such as the City consultants and project Applicant(s), at a Project Initiation/Kick-off Meeting to discuss the project and receive all available project information. Chambers Group will work closely with the City to determine what additional data, if any, must be collected in support of the appropriate CEQA document. In addition to CEQA documents, Chambers Group will provide additional related tasks to assist the City such as collaboration with various consultants, State and local agencies, and coordination with the City departments such as the Planning and Building Agency, the Public Works Agency, and the Community Development Agency. CEQA Document Preparation Chambers Group’s will provide the City with a tailored approach that adapts to changes in CEQA case law and any CEQA Guideline updates. Our experienced group of environmental planning staff has an in-depth understanding of CEQA that ensures that we are able to determine the correct CEQA document for the project. For example, the Berkeley Hillside Preservation v. City of Berkeley case gives deference to the lead agency for determining when a project may be exempt from CEQA. The summaries below highlight the general approach of CEQA, other technical services, and general administrative support to the City. Preparing the Initial Study (IS) Preparation of an IS Checklist will be completed to confirm the appropriate environmental documentation for a given project. The IS will be prepared using the most recent revision of the IS Environmental Checklist Form suggested in the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G in compliance with CEQA Section 15063. Chambers Group will identify issue areas where no impacts, less than significant impacts, or potentially significant impacts would result from the proposed project. Further analyses will be provided for specific resource areas that may be of concern based on the project area or based on technical analyses provided by outside consultants. These include analyses on a project’s consistency and applicability to the City’s General Plan policies, zoning, and specifications. The IS will be used as a guide in the decision as to the appropriate environmental documentation to prepare for the project. Chambers Group will provide a recommendation for the appropriate level of CEQA documentation. We understand the importance of being good stewards of public funds and will use our CEQA expertise to ensure that the City is preparing the appropriate CEQA document based on the project impacts and project type. Notice of Exemption (NOE) Chambers Group, in consultation with the City, will determine if there is an appropriate exemption for a project. A project will be analyzed whether it would qualify for a Statutory Exemption (per Article 18) or a Categorical Exemption (CE) under the CEQA Guidelines. Exclusions granted by the Legislature would be considered statutorily exempt. An IS may be prepared to confirm the preparation of an exemption or provide supplemental environmental analysis for the project. The exemption may also include other technical studies if required by the project. Chambers Group will file the NOE with the Orange County Clerk Recorder. EXHIBIT 2 RFP #21-017: On-Call Environmental Review Services for the Housing Division City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency 4 63675 Negative Declaration (ND)/ Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) The process for preparing a ND is the same as a MND with the exception that a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is not required under an ND. Therefore, only the MND process is described. A MND will be prepared when a project will have a significant effect on the environment, but such effects can be mitigated to a less than significant. If after preparation of the IS, it is identified that one or more significant impacts would occur, CEQA allows the preparation of an MND when those impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level. Based on CEQA defined significance criteria, Chambers Group will determine the potential for any adverse or significant adverse impacts and present mitigation measures to reduce any such impacts to a level below significance. Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Preparation of an EIR is a more detailed process and requires more effort than the preparation of a MND. An EIR would be prepared if there is a potential for significant impacts which cannot be mitigated to a level less than significant or if significant public controversy or scrutiny exists. In which case, an EIR would be the more legally defensible document. Preparing an EIR will require completion of several important steps, from study initiation through development of the project description and Draft EIR, to attendance at public hearings and Final EIR preparation. The process for a more complex EIR would likely include additional scoping meetings (if the project is deemed to be controversial), complexity of technical issues, number of alternatives assessed, possibility of extra internal review cycles, more complexity in responding to public comments for the final document, a more in-depth mitigation monitoring plan, and additional public meetings. NEPA We assume that a majority of the environmental documents for the City will be required to also comply with CEQA; however, we have prepared an overview below focusing on compliance with NEPA, should the projects have federal funding or permitting. NEPA Approach The NEPA climate is quickly changing under the current administration, with NEPA regulations being updated more in the past few years than they have since enaction in 1970. Chambers Group staff work hard to stay up to date on the changing regulatory environment surrounding NEPA in order to utilize streamlining opportunities to deliver more concise documents, faster timelines, and lower costs than their competitors. Below is a brief summary of the recent updates to the NEPA regulations and how Chambers Group has adapted. Executive Order 13807 Executive Order (EO) 13807 was signed on August 15, 2017 with the purpose of streamlining environmental review and authorization decisions for major infrastructure projects to two years. Following EO 13807, the Department of the Interior signed Secretarial Order (SO) 3355 on August 31, 2017 to streamline the NEPA process for all projects in all Interior Departments, followed by many other Secretaries. In a series of memorandums on implementation of SO 3355, page numbers and timelines of Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Environmental Assessment (EA) documents were limited. EIS documents are required to be 150 pages or less for a standard project and 300 pages or less for unusually complex projects. Additionally, EIS documents must be completed within one year from the issuance of a Notice of Intent (NOI). EA documents are required to be 75 pages or less, excluding appendices, and review of the document is required to be concluded within 180 calendar days from commencement. Chambers Group will actively coordinate with the City and other reviewing agencies to create a detailed schedule including submittal deadlines and review periods in order to maintain compliance with SO 3355 time limits. Further, Chambers Group has internal processes in place to budget page limits in accordance with SO 3355. EO13927 On June 4, 2020, an EO was signed to provide federal agencies the foundation, under the National Emergencies Act, to speed up environmental permitting in response to the National Emergency Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak. The EO allows agencies to take all reasonable measures to accelerate actions that will strengthen EXHIBIT 2 RFP #21-017: On-Call Environmental Review Services for the Housing Division City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency 5 63675 the economy and return Americans to work, while providing appropriate protection for public health and safety, natural resources, and the environment, as required by law. The leaders of all agencies are directed to use, to the fullest extent possible and consistent with applicable law, emergency procedures, statutory exemptions, categorical exclusions, analyses that have already been completed, and concise and focused analyses, consistent with NEPA, the Council for Environmental Quality’s NEPA regulations, and agencies’ NEPA procedures. With this knowledge, Chambers Group staff will pursue streamlined NEPA processes and push project timelines to the greatest extent possible to take full advantage of the allowances under EO 13927. Council on Environmental Quality Revisions to NEPA Rules On July 16, 2020, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) published their final rule to update the regulations for Federal agencies to implement NEPA for the first time in 40 years. The final rule revises, modernizes, and clarifies the regulations with the intention to facilitate more efficient, effective, and timely NEPA reviews by Federal agencies in connection with proposals for agency action. Some key changes to NEPA involve the use of CEs, as well as cumulative impacts and GHG analyses. The final rule provides that agencies may use CEs to define actions that normally do not have a significant effect and may adopt another agency’s CE determination or portions thereof if the two actions subject to the determinations are substantially similar. Additionally, the cumulative impacts analysis is no longer required as part of a NEPA review. With respect to GHG, CEQ explains in the preamble to the final rule that “the analysis of the impacts on climate change will depend on the specific circumstances of the proposed action” and that agencies “will consider predictable trends in the area in the baseline analysis of the affected environment.” Although cumulative impact analyses are not required, CEQ clarified that consideration of the cumulative and indirect effects of climate change are not precluded by the final rule. NEPA Literature Review and Scoping Meeting(s) After receiving a NTP from the City, Chambers Group will be prepared to meet with the City and project Applicant(s), when applicable, at a Project Initiation/Kick-off Meeting to discuss the project. Chambers Group will receive project plans, and other project related information and studies. This information will be reviewed in order to determine the appropriate NEPA documentation to be prepared. Chambers Group will assist City Staff in developing scoping meetings and identify the appropriate responsible/trustee agencies and other relevant stakeholders should the project require these meetings (such as during the preparation of an EIS. While it is not necessary to conduct scoping meetings during the preparation of Environmental Assessment, this could be helpful in data collection for a project. NEPA Documents Categorical Exclusion (CE) There are certain conditions under which NEPA does not apply to an action. These conditions include, but are not limited to statutory exemptions, emergencies, and classified information. Any of these, and some additional exempted actions, may involve the City to some degree, by way of location of the action within the City. Thus, the City may have a role in the NEPA process as a Review Agency, or as a Lead or Co-Lead Agency. As such, the City may be responsible for preparation of some type of record of environmental consideration, documenting the applicability of the NEPA CE. Environmental Assessment / Findings of No Significant Impact (EA/FONSI) An EA is to be a concise public document that focuses on those environmental areas where potential adverse impacts are anticipated. It will provide sufficient evidence and analysis to determine whether or not an EIS is required. The EA would be limited to an analysis of potential significant environmental issues which area identified through a scoping process with the public and review agencies. The EA will include brief descriptions of the need for the proposed project, alternatives to the proposed project, the environmental impacts of the proposed project and its alternatives, and a listing of agencies and persons consulted. Based on the Final EA, Chambers Group will prepare the FONSI that outlines the reasons why the federal agency has concluded that no significant environmental impacts would result from implementation of the proposed action. The FONSI will inform the decision record for the federal agency. EAs and Compliance Findings - 24 CFR Part 580 Chambers Group will prepare an EA in accordance with HUD’s format for EA Determinations and Compliance Findings for HUD-assisted Projects (24 CFR Part 58). EXHIBIT 2 RFP #21-017: On-Call Environmental Review Services for the Housing Division City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency 6 63675 The EA will be prepared utilizing the format preferred by HUD, which includes the following sections: 1. Project Information 2. Funding Information 3. Compliance with 24 CFR 50.4, 58.5, and 58.6 Laws and Authorities 4. EA Factors 5. Mitigation Measures and Conditions The analysis of the environmental effects and significance will address direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of all the alternatives considered. These include the discussion of the Project’s compliance with statutes, executive orders, and regulations listed at 24 CFR 50.4, 58.5 and 58.6, and environmental assessment factors including land development, socioeconomic, community facilities and services, and natural features as appropriate. Upon completion of the EA, Chambers Group will enter the EA and associated documents into the HUD Environmental Review Online System (HEROS). HUD Environmental Review Online System (HEROS) To help Responsible Entities facilitate the environmental review process, HUD’s Office of Environment and Energy (OEE) has developed HEROS. HEROS is a web-based system for Responsible Entities to prepare and manage their Environmental Review Records (ERR). HEROS applies to all environmental reviews for HUD-assisted projects. HEROS streamlines the environmental review process for Users by replacing the existing paper-based process with a comprehensive web-based system. Users can create electronic Environmental Review Records and manage their reviews from a single, electronic portal. HEROS facilitates easier organization, sharing, and communications between a Responsible Entity and its partners. Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) An EIS would be required if a federal action would result in the significant effects of the quality of the human environment. Chambers Group would prepare Chambers Group would prepare the NOI for publication in the Federal Register for the Project. The comments received on the NOI will be used to further refine those impact areas that will be analyzed in the EIS, if needed. The comments reviewed will be discussed with the City and federal agency to determine whether the scope of the EIS should be expanded. The NOI, comments received, and all correspondence will be included in the EIS appendices. The EIS will address direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts relevant to the proposed action. Following the public review period, the Final EIS would incorporate comments, responses, and changes to the Draft EIS (DEIS). The EIS process ends with a Record of Decision that outlines that federal agency’s decision, describes alternatives considered, and discusses any necessary mitigation or monitoring plans. Technical Studies The following studies and services are in response to services listed in the RFP, however, if additional studies (such as visual impact assessments and simulations or hydrologic/hydraulic assessments) are required as part of completing CEQA compliance and documentation, we would be happy to provide those services through a combination of in-house and subconsultant personnel. Biological and Resource Technical Reports Biological Resources Chambers Group’s biology team may utilize our deep bench of well-rounded biologists allowing for scheduling of simultaneous tasks at multiple sites. Our biological resources staff hold permits from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) for collecting select species, conducting protocol surveys for sensitive species, and following specialized habitat evaluation procedures. The biology staff includes botanists and restoration ecologists who survey for sensitive plant species as well as specialize in restoration, revegetation, and soil analysis. In addition, Chambers Group staff are certified to perform wetland delineations. Our staff have conducted numerous database searches, Habitat Assessments, threatened and endangered species surveys, mitigation monitoring, and reports in Orange County. EXHIBIT 2 RFP #21-017: On-Call Environmental Review Services for the Housing Division City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency 7 63675 Chambers Group biologists will prepare biological technical documents, develop mitigation measures during the final design to avoid, minimize, and/or compensate for impacts to biological resources, and prepare any required restoration and mitigation monitoring plans. Chambers Group biologists will coordinate with wildlife agencies and assist in a full range of consultant services under federal and State endangered species acts. Our staff provides permit assistance for all project aspects (including a United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Clean Water Act Section 404 permit, CDFW Section 1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Section 401 Water Quality Certification). In addition, our staff will communicate and coordinate with the City’s engineer and environmental staff, resource agencies, and construction contractors regarding project schedules and the effects of design changes on the environment. Our staff will anticipate issues and provide solutions to avoid conflict. Should a project involve HUD, biological assessments will include a discussion of the Project’s compliance with statutes, executive orders, and regulations listed at 24 CFR 50.4, 58.5 and 58.6. Cultural and Paleontological Resources Chambers Group can provide Cultural Site Evaluations, Cultural Resource Mitigation, Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record (HABS/HAER) mitigation of Built Environment Resources, Ethnographic Studies, Historic Resource Treatment and/or Mitigation Plans, and Paleontological Resource Recovery, Analysis, and Restoration. Our archaeologists conduct cultural resources studies in accordance with the Secretary of Interior Standards for archaeological investigation. In addition, our archaeologists also: • Manage large programs and multiple concurrent task orders in compliance with Sections 106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), and Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) • Perform National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) evaluations • Prepare Historic Property Management Plans • Work with California State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to determine eligibility of historic buildings Additionally, Chambers Group paleontologists have extensive experience in providing services involving initial surveys, mitigation plans, surface collection, construction monitoring, fossil salvage, laboratory preparation, cataloguing and transferring, technical reports, and exhibits. Cultural/Paleontological Assessments The Chambers Group team has extensive experience in cultural resources management services including, archaeology (both historic and prehistoric), historic structures, and ethnography, and has extensive experience throughout Southern California. Chambers Group brings experience in coordinating with the SHPO, Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), Native American groups, and other land management agencies such as the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), BLM, Caltrans, HUD, USACE, USFWS, and US Forest Service (USFS). Additionally, the team has an excellent working relationship with tribal representative throughout California. Chambers Group team is prepared to support the City in all areas of cultural resources as required under CEQA, and/or Section 106 of the NHPA, as amended. Should a project involve HUD, cultural and paleontological assessments will include a discussion of the Project’s compliance with statutes, executive orders, and regulations listed at 24 CFR 50.4, 58.5 and 58.6. Archaeological Reconnaissance Surveys To satisfy State requirements, Chambers Group archaeologists will conduct Archaeological Reconnaissance Surveys (if necessary) of project areas. Our archaeologists are equipped with sub-meter accurate GPS units that can have proposed project boundaries delineated ahead of time to document areas assessed, areas with limited access/visibility, and to develop a sensitivity map based on the literature review and survey. Survey notes include descriptions of the survey area(s), site conditions, and other relevant observations. EXHIBIT 2 RFP #21-017: On-Call Environmental Review Services for the Housing Division City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency 8 63675 Archaeological/Paleontological Technical Reports After completing Archaeological Literature Reviews and Archaeological Reconnaissance Surveys, Chambers Group will prepare project-specific CEQA Archaeological Technical Reports which summarize literature reviews, survey results, and will include the following sections: (a) introduction, (b) proposed project description, (c) Summary of literature reviews, (d) methods used to conduct the surveys, (e) results of the existing conditions of cultural resources on the site, (f) recommendations, and (g) references cited. The reports will include current photographs and maps documenting site conditions summary of any archaeological resource findings observed. Assembly Bill (AB) 52 Consultation Chambers Group will perform AB 52 Tribal Consultation Support on behalf of the City. As the Lead Agency, the City is required to provide formal notification to the designated contact or tribal representative of traditionally and culturally affiliated Native American tribes within the geographic area(s). Our team will prepare notification letters that include a brief project description and a map of the proposed project. Then, we will consult with the tribes to develop appropriate mitigation measures to avoid or minimize impacts Tribal Cultural Resources (TCR). Historical Resources Survey and Documentation As needed, Chambers Group will conduct historical resources surveys to photo document and assess current condition of historical resources. The historical resources will be recorded on appropriate DPR 523 series forms. In preparing the DPR 523 forms, the existing condition of the resources will be photographed and described in detail. We will prepare technical reports in compliance with CEQA standards. The reports will include historic contexts, a summary of field methods and results, significance evaluations of historic period resources under appropriate criteria. Shade/Shadow Analysis Chambers Group will conduct shade and shadow analysis. Shading refers to the effect of shadows cast upon adjacent areas by proposed structures. Shadow impacts are dependent upon several factors, including sensitivity of adjacent land uses, duration, time of day, season, extent of building shadowed, preexisting conditions and type of shadow. Shade and shadow impacts could be considered substantial if a development creates a significant increase of shade or shadow on sensitive outdoor uses, defined as schools, hospitals, senior housing, or other residential amenity spaces. Shade and shadow impacts during the hours of 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM Pacific Standard Time at the winter solstice will be measured. Shade and shadow impacts during the hours of 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time at the summer solstice will also be measured. Our analysis will illustrate shadow impacts for buildings. Air Quality, GHG, and Noise Analysis (Vista Environmental) Vista Environmental will provide the following tasks for conducting an air quality analysis, GHG analysis, and noise analysis for a project. The results of these studies would then be incorporated into the appropriate CEQA document, or in a standalone report. These tasks may vary depending on the project to be analyzed. Vista Environmental is also qualified to provide Energy and Health Risk Assessments (HRA)s if required for a project. A detailed scope will be provided on a project basis. Air Quality and GHG Analysis Vista Environmental will provide the following tasks: • Identify the existing air quality setting in the area, including the local meteorological conditions. • Identify GHGs and their associated impacts to global climate change. • Identify applicable NEPA de minimis, state, and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) rules and regulations, attainment plans and thresholds of significance for criteria pollutants and GHGs. • Obtain existing air quality data from air quality monitoring stations within the study area utilizing California Air Resources Board (CARB) data sources. • Evaluate and quantify regional criteria pollutant and GHG emissions associated with construction and operational activities for the proposed project utilizing the CalEEMod Model. EXHIBIT 2 RFP #21-017: On-Call Environmental Review Services for the Housing Division City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency 9 63675 • Evaluate and quantify local criteria pollutant emissions associated with construction and operational activities for the proposed project utilizing SCAQMD’s Look-Up Tables. • Provide a qualitative odor analysis from the construction and on-going operations of the Proposed Project. • Prepare an air quality and GHG emissions report that documents the results of the previous work tasks. Noise Impact Analysis Vista Environmental will provide the following tasks: • Identify transportation-related noise sources such as major roadways, railroads, and aircraft noise (if any), and stationary (non-transportation related) noise impacts from adjacent land uses to the project study area. • Identify the applicable HUD noise regulations that are detailed in 24 CFR Part 51 – Environmental Criteria and Standards • Evaluate the existing noise environment and obtain either 15-minute or 24-hour noise measurements in the vicinity of the Project. • Utilize the Federal Highway Administration’s Roadway Construction Noise Model (RCNM) to analyze potential noise impacts associated with construction activities and identify measures to minimize the noise impacts to the nearby sensitive receptors. • Provide a description of the nearby roadways that details how all of the roadways within 1,000 feet of the project site are either local or collector roads and do not qualify as either a major highways or busy roads. Also, detail the nearest major roadway to the project site is Interstate 5 that is over 1,000 feet from the project site and therefore outside of the quantitative noise analysis range. • Compare the calculated noise levels (limited to rail noise) to the HUD exterior and interior noise standards. If an exceedance of either the exterior or interior noise standard is found at the project site, provide mitigation to reduce the noise impacts to within the HUD noise standards. • Analyze potential vibration impacts associated with construction and operational activities through application of the methodology used in the Transportation- and Construction-Induced Vibration Guidance Manual (Vibration Guidance Manual), prepared for Caltrans. • Prepare a noise impact report that documents the results of the previous work tasks. Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Converse) Converse will generally follow the standard practices of the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (Standard: E1527-13) and HUD Guidelines. The ASTM Standard E1527-13 is intended to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for the Landowner Liability Protections (LLP) within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), that is, the practices that constitute all appropriate inquiry (AAI, 40 CFR Part 312) into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial or customary practice. The following Scope of Services is proposed: 1. Review of regulatory agency records, aerial photographs, fire insurance maps, city directories, building permits, USGS topographical maps and other non-standard historical sources. 2. Visual survey of property and adjacent sites for indications of potential for contamination or contamination generators. 3. A reasonable attempt will be made to interview the owner(s), site manager(s), and major occupant(s), and to contact State or local government officials. 4. Prepare report signed by an Environmental Professional for electronic submittal. Phase II Environmental Site Assessment and Soil Testing (Converse) The objectives of a Phase II investigation are to: evaluate the likelihood that potentially hazardous materials are present at the site; assess the nature and concentrations of the chemical compounds; assess the vertical and horizontal extent of impacted soil through testing, as well as the impact to groundwater; determine if the subject property will require some form of remediation and evaluate the most feasible remedial alternative to remediate the site. The scope of services for a Phase II investigation is typically based on the results of a Phase I ESA and/or other Phase II investigations. EXHIBIT 2 RFP #21-017: On-Call Environmental Review Services for the Housing Division City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency 10 63675 Phase II investigations may include the following: a Geophysical Survey, collection and testing of soil, soil vapor, indoor air, and/or groundwater samples, field screening of samples, and/or laboratory analysis of samples. Converse will generally follow the standard practices of the ASTM Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM E1903-19). If a Soil Gas Survey is to be completed, it will be in general accordance with the Advisory-Active Soil Gas Investigations by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control and California RWQCB, dated July 2015. Lead and Asbestos Testing, Monitoring and Clearance (Converse) Asbestos Survey The Asbestos Survey will be limited to the predominant style of accessible materials that are present at the building. Non-destructive sampling methods will be utilized. 1. Visual survey of the structure on-site for suspect asbestos-containing materials and homogeneous areas (areas that have uniform color, texture, and appearance). If construction plans and/or specifications are available, Converse can review these items to help in the identification of potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Suspect materials will be divided into friable and non-friable materials. The homogenous materials will be placed in one of the following Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) categories: • Surfacing Materials (sprayed or troweled-on materials) • Thermal Systems Insulations (materials generally applied to various mechanical systems) • Miscellaneous Materials (any materials which do not fit in the above categories) Accessible interior and exterior areas will be sampled for the presence of asbestos. Destructive sampling will not be performed. Samples of general building components (i.e., visually identical flooring material and ceiling tiles) will be assumed to be representative of materials used throughout the building. Converse will not make a second effort to survey building, or portions of building, not accessible during the field reconnaissance. No destructive sampling methods will be employed during this survey. Therefore, void spaces between walls, floors, ceiling or below soil level will not be observed or sampled. 2. Collect samples of suspect ACMs in representative homogenous areas determined by visual examination and review of plans. Up to 80 bulk samples will be collected following accepted EPA procedures and will be analyzed for asbestos content. The strategy for the collection of asbestos samples will be in accordance with EPA guidance document “Asbestos in Buildings: Simplified Sampling Scheme for Friable Surfacing Materials," EPA 560/5-85-030a, October 1985, 40 CFR 763 (AHERA), and appropriate air pollution control district regulations. According to OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1926.1101, a minimum of three samples must be collected of each suspect ACM. 3. During the collection of bulk samples, damage to the materials sampled is often necessary to obtain representative samples. Converse will attempt to collect the bulk samples in inconspicuous locations (behind doors, in closets, in corners); however, it will not always be possible, and sample locations will be visible to the owner/occupant/tenant. Converse will patch interior plaster/drywall sample locations and exterior stucco walls with patching materials. However, Converse will not be held responsible for the quality or usefulness of the patching repairs. Samples of vinyl flooring materials will not be patched but will be encapsulated with spray adhesive. In addition to the bulk samples collected from the interiors of the building, samples will be collected from the roofs and exteriors of the building. However, Converse does require written authorization for roof sampling. Please note that puncturing a roof membrane will typically invalidate any warranty for the roof. In addition, Converse does not guarantee the quality or usefulness of roof patching material. 4. Samples collected will be processed for shipment to an accredited laboratory following EPA protocol and chain-of- custody procedures. Samples at the laboratory will be analyzed, on a normal turnaround basis (5 business days), for asbestos content using polarized light microscopy (PLM). The results of the survey will be evaluated to determine if asbestos-containing building materials are present in the collected and analyzed samples. The analytical test results will be presented together with the sample locations, a list EXHIBIT 2 RFP #21-017: On-Call Environmental Review Services for the Housing Division City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency 11 63675 of materials surveyed found to contain asbestos, and a field generated sample location map. An electronic file (PDF format) of the final document will be provided to the Client. Lead-base Paint (LBP) Survey The LBP Survey will be limited to the predominant style of accessible components that are present in the building. The survey will be performed using a direct reading x-ray fluorescent (XRF) device. Based on Converse’s understanding of the property, and the client’s needs, budget and schedule as presented, the following Scope of Services is proposed: 1. Visual survey of the areas for representative painted surfaces. Accessible areas will be surveyed. Samples of general building components (i.e., visually identical surface paints) will be assumed to be representative of materials used throughout the building. 2. The limited survey is intended to identify representative painted surfaces. The survey is not intended to identify all painted surfaces or comply with HUD Guidelines, unless stated elsewhere in final project scope of work. The results of the survey will be evaluated to determine if lead is present in the surveyed paints. The XRF logs will be provided in the final report. The logs will contain the following information: paint color of component tested, type of substrate, lead concentration, and condition of paint. The results of the LBP Survey will be incorporated into the Asbestos Survey Report. Lead Risk Surveys Converse will follow HUD Guidance Document Chapter 5 for Risk Assessment and Reevaluation. Scope will include: 1. Determine scope. 2. Interview residents and/or owners. 3. Survey building condition. 4. Determine whether units will be sampled and, if so, select units. 5. Conduct visual assessment. 6. Conduct dust sampling. 7. Conduct soil sampling. 8. Conduct paint testing as needed. 9. Sample tap water (optional). 10. Interpret the laboratory results. 11. Analyze data and discuss with client. 12. Prepare report. Limited Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) Caulking Survey The PCB Caulking Survey will be limited to the predominant style of accessible materials that are present at the building. Non-destructive sampling methods will be utilized as the structure is occupied. 1. Visual survey of the structure on-site for locations and condition of the caulk. Areas to be assessed include: • Caulk used to seal doors, windows and expansion joints including any areas where caulk was removed and/or replaced during past renovations. • Caulk found inside the building on the floor, windowsills, ledges, concrete joints, or other areas. • Interior halls and common use areas, particularly in areas where there is a potential for caulk to be touched or peeled away by a person. • Exterior areas, particularly in areas where there is a potential where the caulk may have impacted soil in a frequently used area such as a garden, play areas, bus stops and children pick up areas. 2. Bulk samples will be submitted to an accredited laboratory and analyzed by EPA Test Method 8082 on a standard turnaround time of five to seven business days. 3. The limited survey is intended to identify representative caulking materials. The survey is not intended to identify all materials. The results of the survey will be evaluated to determine if PCBs are present in the collected and analyzed samples. The analytical test results will be presented together with the sample locations, a list of materials surveyed found to contain PCBs, and a field generated sample location map. EXHIBIT 2 RFP #21-017: On-Call Environmental Review Services for the Housing Division City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency 12 63675 Inventory of Other Hazardous Materials Converse will inventory the following within the building: • Fluorescent Light Fixtures • Thermostats • Drums and/or containers of Hazardous Materials The fluorescent light fixtures will not be disassembled to access and observe the ballasts. Converse will assume one ballast is located within each florescent light fixture. All homogenous light fixtures will be assumed to be the same through a particular building. Thermostats will not be disassembled to observe if mercury is present or not. The thermostats will only be inventoried. Drums and/or containers of chemicals or hazardous materials will also be inventoried. Unlabeled drums or containers will not be opened by Converse. The inventory will be provided in a section of the Asbestos and LBP Survey Report. Regulation Converse understands that it may be required to assist the City in working with various outside governmental agencies, including but not limited to, the applicable planning commissions and departments; the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC); RWQCB; SCAQMD; California Department of Education (CDE); Division of the State Architect (DSA); and the Office of Public-School Construction (OPSC). Their many years of experience in this field has yielded the necessary knowledge to nurture such relationships. Their experience with some of these agencies is presented below and on the following page: Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) Converse has completed various assessments and documents that were reviewed and approved by DTSC. Their work for the various school districts has included: • Phase I ESAs and CDE Checklists • PEA Workplans, Human HRAs, and Scoping Documents • Removal Action Workplans and Remedial Action Plans • Public Notices and Health and Safety Plans • Quality Assurance Project Plans • Supplemental Site Investigations, Removal Action Workplans & Removal Action Completion Reports The DTSC has a cost recovery program and those completing assessment activities and cleanups under their oversight execute an agreement for cost reimbursement. A phased approach is implemented with components including: • Preliminary Assessment • Soil and Water Investigations • Interim Remedial Measures • Risk Assessments • Establishing Cleanup Goals and Plans • Implementation and Monitoring Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Like the DTSC, the RWQCB has a cost recovery program. Converse almost always completes the Phase I ESA before the RWQCB is approached. In some cases, it is the findings of the Phase I ESA that initiates the contact (Well Investigation Plan Listing or EPA Superfund Area listed Responsible Party). Converse has completed site investigations and cleanup under the oversight of the RWQCB. EXHIBIT 2 RFP #21-017: On-Call Environmental Review Services for the Housing Division City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency 13 63675 South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Converse has complied with permitting requirements for various projects and has prepared permit applications and workplans for compliance with landfill clean closure requirements. They have also generated and submitted asbestos cleanup workplans prior to commencing abatement activities. Other Agencies HUD provides applicable regulation and guidance documents for assessments, surveys, and risk assessments. Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing (2012) will be followed. Phase I and II ESAs will be completed in accordance with HUD guidance documents and ASTM Standards E1527 and E1903. Transportation Assessments (LLG) Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis LLG will coordinate with City staff to determine if the proposed Project satisfies any of the VMT screening options per the City’s guidelines. If screening options are satisfied, LLG will prepare a brief memorandum indicating how the proposed Project satisfies the City VMT screening. If a full VMT analysis is required, LLG will coordinate with City staff to define the study area as the size and shape of the study area can affect the analysis. They will determine the analysis scenarios and confirm the approach for the VMT analysis. Assuming the use of the Orange County Transportation Analysis Model 5.0 (OCTAM 5.0), LLG will conduct with and without project VMT model runs. The without project scenario will assume existing or community plan/general plan land uses. Compare the project VMT for the project against the City VMT. They will determine the project impact based on the City CEQA Assessment – VMT Analysis Guidelines. If necessary, LLG will recommend appropriate mitigation measures to reduce the impact. They will provide the project team a toolbox of potential mitigation or project alternatives for consideration in the analysis. Utilize the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) standards or the local guidelines and determine if the selected mitigation measures reduce the project’s VMT impacts to less than significant. LLG will prepare a draft memorandum, which details all the above-mentioned items, their findings, and conclusions. The draft memorandum will be submitted for the City’s review and review by appropriate members of the project team. If necessary, they will update the draft memorandum based on Project team comments and submit a final VMT analysis memorandum to the City. Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) LLG will confirm the development description of the proposed Project with the project team and work schedule. They will coordinate with City staff to confirm the scope of work for the TIA (i.e., number of study intersections). LLG will visit the project study area and inventory existing roadway conditions. They will research existing historical traffic count data at the key study intersections located within the vicinity of the proposed project site. LLG will conduct AM peak period and PM peak period manual turning movement counts at the key study intersections identified to be evaluated by City staff. They will coordinate with City staff to obtain cumulative project information. They will prepare trip generation forecasts for the proposed Project for a typical weekday over a 24-hour period, as well as for the commuter AM and PM peak hours. The trip generation forecasts will either be estimated based on the application of trip rates included in Trip Generation, 10th Edition, published by ITE (2017) or based on the operations of the facility. LLG will develop AM peak hour and PM peak hour “existing plus project”, “near-term cumulative plus project” and “long-term plus project” traffic volume projections for the key study intersections. They will prepare AM peak hour and PM peak hour “existing plus project”, “near-term cumulative plus project” and “long-term plus project” Level of Service (LOS) calculations at the key study intersections. Where necessary, the traffic study will identify the appropriate intersection improvements to offset the proposed Project’s traffic impacts. LLG will then prepare a draft report that details all of the above-mentioned items, their analysis, findings, and conclusions. The draft report will be submitted for review and review by appropriate members of the project team. If necessary, the report will be updated based on project team comments, and a final report will be submitted to the City.

The Chambers Group team delivers results, not surprises: Because our business includes regularly renewed on-call/as- needed contracts, we have access to multi-disciplinary staff resources who manage simultaneous tasks at multiple sites. This expedites project schedules and provides consistent, high-quality delivery—from preparing permit packages and environmental documentation to mitigation monitoring. We understand that “On-Call” can apply to a variety of projects types within the City. Our team members have worked for several local agencies. This experience has prepared us to reinforce your staff for whatever task order surfaces. We can mobilize the right specialists to be where you need us even on short-term notice, on multiple tasks, and in several locations. Strict and defined communication procedures are vital for contract success, and as such, Chambers Group will provide the City with a communication protocol, including the chain of communication during all project work with whom and when to contact. This plan is in place to minimize delays during unforeseen circumstances in that other team members can easily step in to perform the needed tasks. Chambers Group realizes that the complex processes necessary to produce legally defensible environmental documentation cannot be accomplished without a close relationship with Project applicants, property owners, developers, and City staff, and an in-depth understanding of the project details and characteristics of the local environment. Chambers Group will work seamlessly with the City staff to meet schedules, work within budget, and produce environmental documentation that is thorough and complete. Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Chambers Group has a well-established QA/QC program ensuring the quality of our work. We evaluate all deliverables based on the scope of work, contract, and client expectations. Quality assurance will document the quality control program, outlining any concerns, issues, and reporting on any corrective steps taken to guarantee a quality deliverable. All deliverables, including daily monitoring forms, will undergo QA/QC by key staff members. Chambers Group has a detailed QA/QC process that articulates goals for deliverables, clearly defines the roles, and develops concise on strategies to use to reach project goals. Our QA/QC process is consistent and effective in its procedures for document review. Project Schedules and Reviews Chambers Group uses Microsoft Project to develop its work schedules. The exact schedule of any task will be based upon the individual project. Schedules include time for review and meetings for the City’s documents. EXHIBIT 2 RFP #21-017: On-Call Environmental Review Services for the Housing Division City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency 17 63675 As the project progresses, the schedule would be updated and revised as needed, to respond to changing conditions, and only at the City’s direction. In response to any conditional changes, Chambers Group will work with the City to determine the cause for any delay and take corrective actions to readjust the schedule. Schedule changes due to circumstances beyond participants’ control will be immediately brought to the attention of the City and readjusted with the City’s approval. Actions to ensure schedule adherence may include adding additional technical professionals to complete the task or reassess the direction of the task and utilize new personnel. Chambers Group does not anticipate schedule delays on projects; however, the firm is prepared to address them. Chambers Group is available to provide support during all stages of CEQA and NEPA document development and would look to further our approach that engaging early in the process will help shape the scope of the analysis provided and prevent timely and costly re-work during the later stages of project development. The most effective time to bring a third-party reviewer into the project is with the preparation of a thorough project description. In providing an intensive review of the project description before analysis is done reduces re-work later in the process. A third-party reviewer will identify deficiencies in a project description that would prevent effective and efficient analysis for any resource area. E. Relevant Experience Chambers Group is known for providing technically proficient experts who are responsive and communicative with our clients. Chambers Group has built this reputation on decades of experience preparing appropriate CEQA and NEPA documents for complex projects; preparing required resource agency permit applications, preparing mitigation plans; and monitoring construction activities for compliance. Conducting environmental analyses and documentation for development projects, including complex and sensitive projects, is Chambers Group’s specialty. We are experienced in preparing appropriate CEQA documents and technical studies. Chambers Group’s staff has ongoing relationships with many State and local agencies, and the firm maintains an understanding evolving environmental legislation and meeting the stringent requirements of federal, State, and local regulatory agencies. Our team of technical experts will provide scientific objectivity, environmental expertise, defensible environmental analysis, and technical documentation to support the City in meeting its augmentation of staff in the review and approval process of development project goals. Chambers Group’s environmental planners in association with other members of our team have decades of experience providing CEQA compliance services on privately initiated development such as residential development, commercial development, mixed use development, energy and communications and also agency-sponsored projects such as transportation upgrades and improvements, parks, stormwater, and municipal planning projects. Our team combines our experience with proven management techniques that focus on flexibility, responsiveness, and accountability. Many of our planners currently serve on their respective Chapter of the Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP) Board which allows our planning team to stay informed of the rapidly changing regulatory environment. Several staff members hold positions on the AEP Board of Directors. This gives our team immediate access to the AEP Legislative Committee which closely tracks and responds to pending legislation. We use this access and knowledge to help our clients stay ahead of upcoming changes and hot buttons as we navigate the CEQA process. Chambers Group realizes that the complex processes necessary to produce legally defensible environmental documentation cannot be accomplished without a close relationship with City staff, and an in-depth understanding of the project details and characteristics of the local environment. We work seamlessly with project Applicants and City staff to meet schedules, work within budget, and produce environmental documentation that is thorough and complete. Our team offers experience from being on both sides of the counter.

Building 1 is proposed to include 41 one-bedroom units, and six two-bedroom units. Building 2 includes 18 one-bedroom units. The project will provide a total of 59 one-bedroom units that average 709 gross square feet in size and six two-bedroom units that average 871 gross square feet in size. The 3.9-acre project site is currently home to Blessed Sacrament Episcopal Church, a well-established anchor in the community. The purpose of the project is to provide low- and moderate-income housing to seniors ages 62 and up earning less than 60 percent of the AMI. Seniors have specialized housing needs and fixed incomes that are not able to meet the demand of market-rate housing. The project provides the opportunity for seniors to live in a safe, supportive, and affordable environment. Developing a housing community with rent-restricted units for senior residents would also enable the City to meet the unique housing need of senior residents and advance the City’s effort to meet their RHNA of 231 units for low and very low-income households. Preparation of this document helped the Orange County Housing and Community Development Department secure grants to build the proposed housing. The HUD Environmental Review Online System (HEROS) was utilized with this project. Orchard View Gardens EA, Buena Park, CA Client: County of Orange, Craig Fee, OC Housing & Community Development, (714) 480-2918 The Project involves the development of 65 affordable units for senior citizens and one exempt (i.e., market-rate) manager’s unit. These units would assist senior citizens with low and moderate incomes, by providing affordable housing. The project would also help the City meet their Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The Project involves the subdivision of the existing parcel into two new parcels. The southern parcel (Parcel 1) would maintain St. Joseph’s Episcopal Church and surface parking on 1.44 acres. The newly created 1.76-acre parcel occupying the eastern and northern portion of the site (Parcel 2) would be developed with a primary residential apartment building with a 3,000-square-foot community center and nine single-story casitas that would be located within three single-story buildings, accommodating 66 residential units in total. Preparation of this document helped the Orange County Housing and Community Development Department secure grants to build the proposed housing. HEROS was utilized with this project. Mountain View Affordable Housing Community Project, City of Lake Forest, Lake Forest, CA Client: County of Orange, Reference: Craig Fee, OC Housing & Community Development, (714) 480-2918 The Project involves the demolition of an existing office building located at 24551 Raymond Way and construct a 71- unit affordable housing apartment complex on the proposed 1.965-acre site. The development will provide several recreational amenities, including an approximately 2,050-square-foot community center, a small playground for young children, outdoor fireplace with seating areas, and large activity lawn. The Project requires approval of a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Tentative Parcel Map, Site Development Permit, Affordable Housing Agreement, and Planned Sign Program. The Project proposes to provide affordable units to households earning less than 60% of the Area Median Income, of which 12 of the units will be set aside for Permanent Supporting Housing. HEROS was utilized with this project. 38580 9th St. East Property NEPA, Palmdale, CA Client: City of Palmdale; Reference Name: Sarah Mailes, (661) 267-5368 The Project is to eliminate blight for the Project site, on a spot basis through property acquisition and clearance and demolition of the vacant, unsightly 1,715 square foot building, associated parking lot and paved walkways.

We also have an extensive resume processing National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation for affordable housing projects through the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This highly relevant experience will directly benefit the City’s Housing Division with a knowledgeable consultant capable of streamlining CEQA/NEPA approvals for the City’s critical housing needs.

We are also fully aware of the City’s commitment to affordable housing and objectives for disadvantaged communities. Since 1975, Michael Baker staff have worked closely with Orange County cities providing experience and expertise in preparing clear, adequate environmental documentation for the purposes of CEQA and NEPA. We have aided cities with thousands of applications, supporting early analysis, and consultation with stakeholders and suggesting ways that a project could be modified to alleviate many environmental issues. We trust that our Statement of Qualifications for the On-Call Environmental Review Services for the Housing Division demonstrates our team’s experience, expertise, and ability to provide a high level of environmental services in support of the City’s projects.

The Michael Baker Environmental staff have provided CEQA and NEPA documentation and environmental technical studies for a diverse range of housing projects. Michael Baker’s environmental compliance managers have a broad resume of project experience in urban, coastal, and rural communities and have worked on numerous complex projects requiring technical expertise, creative solutions, and development of effective and workable mitigation.

Typical on-all contracts will follow our standard protocol to assess project requirements, included but not limited to: EXHIBIT 3 C-1 Statement of Qualifications – On-Call Environmental Review Services for Housing Division Section C SCOPE OF SERVICES Michael Baker has a proven approach based on decades of experience providing highly sound and legally  defensible environmental documentation, on schedule and within budget.  On-Call NEPA / CEQA Services Michael Baker’s management approach has been proven effective in meeting or exceeding expectations for environmental compliance tasks on time and on budget. With clear communication with City staff from task inception, our management can aid City staff in outlining a logical path for a specific task order, with a clear scope of work, schedule, and budget. Continuous close coordination, communication, and a focused project development process are the keys to successful completion of each task assignment. Michael Baker’s approach is designed to allow for regular interaction between City staff, the environmental consulting project team, and other interested/responsible governmental agencies and parties, which allows for frequent information sharing among all project members. This approach will assist in data exchange without loss of time or resources and will give City staff advance input on issues that arise. Such participation by the consultant minimizes duplication of research efforts, improves the technical quality and accuracy of analysis, and ultimately, reduces the cost of services. Regular interaction also allows the project team to offer expert advice and counsel to the City and other interested parties, particularly regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over key elements of the project. Michael Baker’s proven track record has included the Bewley Street Townhomes Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (Santa Ana, CA), Heritage Square South NEPA Environmental Assessment and CEQA Categorical Exemption (Pasadena, CA), Tina- Pacific Neighborhood Development Plan Project Environmental Impact Report (Stanton, CA), One Metro West Project (Costa Mesa, CA), Rialto Metrolink Affordable Housing Project (Rialto, CA), 3700 Riverside Drive Mixed Use Project (Burbank, CA), Pasadena Studios CEQA Exemption pursuant to PRC 21155.4 (Senate Bill 743) (Pasadena, CA), and Bolsa Row Specific Plan (Westminster, CA), among others. These projects all required close coordination with outside agencies including, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Department of Toxic Substances Control, Orange County Transportation Authority, and/or County of Orange. Regular communications with City staff and others allow the project team to determine potential issues up front, develop potential design features and/or mitigation measures, as well as develop sound, legally defensible documents. Our open public outreach capabilities during the environmental clearance process also allows City staff to anticipate potential public concerns and ensure that these concerns are addressed in the environmental document. The Michael Baker Team is accustomed to working on highly controversial projects subject to public scrutiny, placing the utmost emphasis on providing clearly articulated analysis and conclusions. EXHIBIT 3 C-2 Statement of Qualifications – On-Call Environmental Review Services for Housing Division Specific Scope of Services The following scope of services has been provided pursuant to Request for Proposals (RFP) #21-017 Exhibit A, Scope of Services. PHASE I AND PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS  Michael Baker will perform Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) services for the City. It is our understanding that all Phase I reports will comply with the ASTM International (ASTM) E 1527 Standard Practice. It is acknowledged that ASTM is in the process of updating this standard practice. Michael Baker staff is participating on the E 50 committee, has been involved in this update, and will be prepared to ensure our Phase I ESAs are prepared to the current industry standard in 2022, when the standard update is expected to be released. Upon task kickoff, Michael Baker will confirm the purpose of the Phase I and the methodology to be conducted. All Phase I documentation will include an ASTM-compliant radius search of databases pertaining to hazardous materials, appropriate file reviews with regulatory agencies, historical documentation review, interviews, and site reconnaissance. The Phase I report will document Michael Baker’s findings, opinions, and conclusions as to whether or not a recognized environmental condition (REC), or conditional recognized environmental condition (CREC), exists. Should a Phase I ESA identify any RECs, Michael Baker has retained Roux Associates (Roux) to provide Phase II ESA services. Roux will review Phase I ESAs prepared by Michael Baker and/or other qualified environmental firms to evaluate the site history and condition, and specifically any RECs that are identified for the site. If no prior environmental documentation is available for the site, initial desktop review may be necessary to evaluate past uses and potential environmental concerns. If multiple environmental reports are available for the site, including perhaps Phase II ESA investigation and/or remediation documents, those reports will be evaluated to formulate opinions of site status. If RECs are identified for the site, the City will be queried to understand the present and future intended use(s) of the site, ownership status, potential acquisition or disposition, and regulatory interactions that are expected, past or future. This query will occur prior to development of a specific scope of work for subsurface investigation. Once all the initial information is gathered, a scope of work that may include soil, soil gas, and/or groundwater sampling will be developed in line with the objectives for the site. The investigation will provide sufficient data to characterize areas of concern and assess potential risks and future costs, delays, and/or liabilities that may be borne of impacts. The initial Phase II ESA will not be intended to provide comprehensive characterization or derive complete remedial alternatives. The initial results will be discussed with the City and dependent on conditions and objectives, additional scopes of Phase II work may be developed where necessary. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS (EIS)  Michael Baker staff have extensive experience with preparation of EISs for a range of different major Federal actions having the potential to significant affect the quality of the environment. This experience comes on a range of diverse project types, for numerous different Federal agencies. Michael Baker’s experience with preparing NEPA documents in accordance with 24 CFR 50.4, 58.6, 24 CFR 58.5, provides for a streamlined, “hit the ground running” approach that will facilitate EIS preparation for the City’s critical Federally-funded housing projects. Critical components of the EIS important to the success of the document include a well-defined description of the proposed action and detailed description of the range of alternatives, in addition to strict adherence to HUD’s statutory checklist and criteria for cumulative impact analysis. HUD also places an emphasis on proactive stakeholder and community engagement to consider feedback related to the environmental effects of the project. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTS (EIR)  The Michael Baker Environmental staff have provided CEQA compliant Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) for a diverse range of housing projects for over 40 years. Michael Baker’s environmental documents are not only legally defensible and user-friendly, but are supported by professionals with expertise in hydrology, water quality, transportation, water/wastewater, landscape architecture, urban design, policy planning, structural design, civil engineering, GIS, mapping, and surveying. Michael Baker produces environmental documents that are sensitive to both the public’s concern for resource protection and community impacts, as well as real-world issues associated with cost and feasibility of implementing mitigation measures. EXHIBIT 3 C-3 Statement of Qualifications – On-Call Environmental Review Services for Housing Division Michael Baker can prepare appropriate Notice of Preparation (NOP)/Initial Study, Draft EIR, Final EIR, and associated work products in accordance with the criteria, standards and provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (California Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.), California CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq.), the City of Santa Ana Environmental Guidelines, and the regulations requirements and procedures of any other responsible Public Agency with jurisdiction by law. Michael Baker will, throughout the document, and where appropriate, relate the proposed project to the general trends in Santa Ana and the surrounding area. The initiation of the CEQA process would involve a detailed scoping process including a review of issues, constraints, and Project opportunities. Michael Baker, working closely and in collaboration with City staff, will embark on an agency consultation process, which will include a public scoping session, in order to provide an opportunity to obtain a better understanding of key environmental concerns of interested agencies and the community, as well as informing the public as to the purpose of the CEQA review and determination process. The NOP/Initial Study will be circulated for a 30-day review. Comments received during the review period will be evaluated as part of the Draft EIR preparation. The Michael Baker Team will be viewed as an integral component in the project review and will participate in meetings with City staff, and public hearings, as required by the City. The Michael Baker Team will have the responsibility of leading the public participation program for the environmental review, including the planning process, Draft EIR public review meeting, and throughout the public hearing process for EIR certification. The Michael Baker Team will guide the planning and CEQA processes and assist the decision makers and the public in understanding the analysis and EIR conclusions. Michael Baker has served in this role with a countless number of agencies and a wide range of projects of great interest to communities. Each of the issues studied in the EIR will be approached thoroughly in order to fully assess all potential impacts, establish thresholds of significance, and identify mitigation measures, as necessary. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS AND COMPLIANCE FINDINGS ‐ 24 CFR PART 580  Michael Baker staff have supported municipal clients throughout California by preparing environmental reviews for projects funded through U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs, such as Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership programs. Our approach to preparing a NEPA Environmental Assessment for the City is to draw upon our experience preparing multiple NEPA documents for HUD-assisted projects in California to identify and address issues early in the process, conduct technically adequate and complete environmental analysis, create reader friendly NEPA documents, and openly communicate with the City to ensure needs and expectations are met throughout the process. For projects funded, in part or in whole, by HUD-programs such as those identified above and do not fall into the categories of projects categorically excluded or exempt from NEPA evaluation per 24 CFR 58.34 and 24 CFR 58.35, Michael Baker will prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA), the content of which would be consistent with HUD’s recommended format for conducting EAs pursuant to 24 CFR 58. The analysis will include all required determinations and compliance documentation for the laws and authorities at 24 CFR 58.6 and 58.5, as well as an analysis of additional factors, including the project’s impacts on land development, socioeconomic factors, community facilities and services, and natural features. The following are the primary sections of the EA: Purpose and Need, Project Description, Existing Conditions and Trends, Statutory Checklist, Environmental Assessment Checklist, and Alternatives to the Proposed Action. The EA will also include several HUD-required summary sections, including mitigation measures, additional studies performed, and list of sources, agencies, and persons consulted. Michael Baker also has in-house experts that can prepare required technical studies and assist with required consultations to support the NEPA EA, including air quality specialists, noise specialists, and cultural resources specialists. Upon preparation of the finalized public draft EA, Michael Baker will prepare a combined Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact and Notice of Intent to Request a Release of Funds (FONSI and NOI/RROF) and can assist the City with the publication and public review process. Following the public review period, Michael Baker can assist the City with preparation of the Request Release of Funds and 7015.15 Certification Form required to be submitted to HUD along with the Environmental Review Record (ERR) for their review and approval. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEWS FOR CATEGORICALLY EXCLUDED ACTIVITIES/PROJECTS ‐ SECTION  58.5   Michael Baker staff have supported municipal clients throughout California by preparing environmental reviews for projects funded through HUD programs, such as CDBG and HOME Investment Partnership programs. Many smaller-scale projects supported through such programs, such as minor home repair programs, or small-scale public facility improvements, require preparation of a categorical EXHIBIT 3 C-4 Statement of Qualifications – On-Call Environmental Review Services for Housing Division exclusion rather than an Environmental Assessment (described above). Michael Baker will prepare Categorical Exclusion Statutory Checklists (CEST checklist) for the City in accordance with HUD’s recommended format for conducting CEST checklists pursuant to 24 CFR Part 58. The analysis will include all required determinations and compliance documentation for the laws and authorities at 24 CFR parts 50.4, 58.6, and 58.5. The following are the primary compliance factors of the CEST checklist: Airport Hazards, Coastal Barrier Resources, Flood Insurance, Clean Air, Coastal Zone Management, Contamination and Toxic Substances, Endangered Species, Explosive and Flammable Hazards, Farmlands Protection, Floodplain Management, Historic Preservation, Noise Abatement and Control, Sole Source Aquifers, Wetlands Protection, Wild and Scenic Rivers, and Environmental Justice. Michael Baker also has in-house experts that can prepare required technical studies and assist with required consultations to support the CEST checklist, such as cultural resources assessments and historic property evaluations required to demonstrate compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA. The CEST checklist will also include several HUD-required summary sections, including mitigation measures, funding breakdown, and summary of findings and conclusions. If mitigation or other compliance steps would be required (i.e., additional reports, studies, consultations, permits, or agreements), we would assist the City with the public review and comment process, including preparing and publishing a Notice of Intent/Request for the Release of Funds (NOI/RROF) as required by HUD. LEAD RISK SURVEYS  It is our understanding that the purpose of building surveys, as part of this scope of work, is to identify the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), lead-based paints (LBPs), and other potential hazardous building materials (such as polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs]). Michael Baker has retained Panacea to identify the likelihood that asbestos is present in concentrations greater than 1 percent in suspect, readily accessible construction materials. Panacea will assess the likelihood that lead is present in concentrations greater than 1.0 milligrams per square centimeter (mg/cm2) in/on readily accessible painted surfaces of the buildings. It is acknowledged that components or structures not permanently attached or can easily be removed during renovation will not be tested (such as furniture, cabinets, trash, artwork, etc.). Panacea will also estimate the number of readily-accessible fluorescent light tubes, mercury-containing thermostat switches, ballast containing PCBs, potential tritium exit signs, batteries and/or battery-containing equipment, and potential Freon™-containing refrigeration systems in the buildings. Sampling or testing of equipment is excluded from this scope of work. The overall technical approach for sampling activities will involve review of build plans and preparation of base maps, conducting site reconnaissance and preparation of a sampling strategy, and data evaluation and report preparation. LEAD AND ASBESTOS TESTING, MONITORING AND CLEARANCES  It is our understanding that the purpose of building surveys, as part of this scope of work, is to identify the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and lead-based paint (LBP) and hazards related to LBP. Michael Baker has retained Panacea to identify the likelihood that asbestos is present in concentrations greater than 1 percent in suspect, readily accessible construction materials. Panacea will assess the likelihood that lead is present in concentrations greater than 1.0 milligrams per square centimeter (mg/cm2) in/on readily accessible painted surfaces of the buildings and perform risk assessment if necessary. It is acknowledged that components or structures not permanently attached or can easily be removed during renovation will not be tested (such as furniture, cabinets, trash, artwork, etc.). Panacea provides consulting services for asbestos abatement and lead-related work. For asbestos abatement oversight, Panacea can prepare and design abatement specifications, perform abatement oversight, and collect daily air monitoring during abatement activities and final clearance air samples after abatement is complete. SOILS TESTING  Michael Baker has retained Roux to perform soils testing for potential contamination should those services be required. It is our understanding that soil testing may be required if (1) potentially impacted soils are encountered such as when excavated soils indicate possible impacts or when expected or unexpected underground structures such as clarifiers or underground storage tanks that may have impacted excavated soils are encountered, or (2) when it is necessary to import fill materials to support construction activities. When soils testing services are required for on-site soils (scenario 1 above), Roux will perform soil sampling of potentially impacted soil in general accordance with the Soil Management Plan (SMP) if one has been prepared. When no SMP exists, Roux will prepare one if requested by the City, or simply perform soil testing as described below: EXHIBIT 3 C-5 Statement of Qualifications – On-Call Environmental Review Services for Housing Division If soils suspected to be contaminated are encountered on City projects, Roux will direct that they be excavated, stockpiled, and sampled to determine if on-site re-use is appropriate, or they need to be disposed off-Site. Stockpiles will generally be sampled through collection of four-point composite samples at a minimum frequency of four composite samples per every 250 cubic yards (CY). Based upon the Site history, suspect stockpile soil samples will be analyzed for the necessary parameters. All stockpiles of suspect soils will be placed upon and covered with plastic sheeting and clearly labeled with a unique designation. If it is necessary to import fill material (scenario 2 above) to support construction activities thee, the State of California Department of Toxic Substances Control’s (DTSC’s) Information Advisory for Clean Imported Fill Material will be applied to guide the required soil sampling and analysis. HUD ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW ONLINE SYSTEM (HEROS)  Michael Baker staff maintain active HUD user accounts with access to the HUD Environmental Review Online System (HEROS) and can support the City of Santa Ana as a Partner User, preparing and submitting environmental review documentation, such as Categorical Exclusions subject to the laws and authorities listed at 24 CFR 58.5 and Environmental Assessments, to the HEROS system.

The project site is currently developed with 40 four-plex apartment buildings and was identified as a redevelopment site by the Stanton Redevelopment Agency in 2009, prior to the dissolution of the agency a couple of years later. The project proposes to acquire all remaining properties on-site, relocate existing tenants, and redevelop the site into a 161-unit multi-family affordable housing development. The project would be developed in two phases but both would be integrated into one cohesive residential community. Based on the availability of funding, amenities can include a community center and pool, tot lots, a preschool facility, and landscaped pedestrian walkways. The property acquisition and tenant relocation process occurred concurrently with the environmental clearance process. Discretionary approvals required include a Precise Plan of Development, Tentative Tract Map, Street Vacation, Conditional Use Permit, Density Bonus Concession, and Planning Development Permit. Key issues: Affordable housing development, traffic/transportation analysis, air quality, noise impacts.   Year Completed: Certified November 2019 Client: City of Stanton Contact: Amy Stonich, AICP, City Planner astonich@ci.stanton.ca.us 714.890.4213 EXHIBIT 3 E-5 Statement of Qualifications – On-Call Environmental Review Services for Housing Division 3700 Riverside Drive Mixed-Use Project Environmental Impact Report BURBANK, CA  Michael Baker is currently assisting the City of Burbank with preparing a focused Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the 3700 Riverside Drive Mixed-Use Project (project). The project site is currently developed with an existing carwash, including a pylon sign near the intersection of Riverside Drive and Hollywood Way that was deemed a potential historic resource. The project is proposing to demolish the existing carwash and redevelop the site as a seven-story, 80,582- gross square foot mixed-use building, consisting of 49 condominium units, 2,141 square feet of ground-level commercial use, a rooftop amenities deck, and surface and subterranean parking.
