To respond to any and all task orders that may be issued as part of this on-call contract, we have developed a focused, yet flexible, approach that will allow our project team to quickly mobilize and effectively engage to meet the City's needs as they arise. We anticipate that the key elements required under this CEQA consulting services contract would include the following: • Preparation of CEQA documents, ranging from Categorical Exemptions, Initial Studies/Mitigated Negative Declarations,to EIRs; • Coordinating with external agencies and the general public,when required; • Preparing technical studies (e.g., air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, GHG, historical, noise, geotechnical,hydrology and water quality, land use,traffic impact studies, pedestrian safety studies,etc.)to support the CEQA environmental documents; • Providing technical peer review on work products,prepared by other consultants; • Providing comprehensive outreach and stakeholder meetings, including responding to comments received by the public during the environmental process; • Providing technical support to City staff during Planning Commission hearings; • Preparing adequate notices and notification to the general public regarding public review period on environmental documents; • Preparing and implementing mitigation monitoring and reporting programs (if required); and • Providing monitoring services during construction-related activities and verifying completion of all required mitigation. The UltraSystems project team (lead by Betsy Lindsay, Project Director and Margaret Partridge, Senior Project Manager and Hina Gupta, Deputy Project Manager) is equipped to undertake the completion of the CEQA project-level environmental documents for the City. We are also capable of completing technical peer reviews for developer-driven projects. Presented below is a typical scope of work for completion of a CEQA project through the permitting process, including preparation of the regulatory compliance documents that would enable construction to begin. 2.3 Key Environmental Issues Generally, the following topical areas are included in some capacity within an environmental document. The topical issues are based on the complexity of the project within the City. Personnel would include the following: Page 8 UltraSystems UEI No.200209 ®\ ':' FREEWAY CORRIDOR MIXED USE OVERLAY ZONE ': Table 2.3-1 TOPICAL ISSUES AND AREAS Environmental Topical Areas Task Leads-Responsible for Technical Study Preparation Aesthetics I Visual Resources I Computer Sims I 3D Visuals Hina Gupta,MURP,LEED-AP Air Quality I GHG I Energy Dr.Michael Rogozen,D.Env.

Generally, the environmental components would include the following steps: Beginning the Environmental Documentation Process Objectives: To initiate the procedural steps required to complete the project-level CEQA review process. Additionally, a set of documents must be thoughtfully developed at the project outset to establish the framework for assessment. Challenges: To understand and describe the underlying need for the proposed project,in addition to the range of alternatives that must be considered under CEQA. As an outcome of understanding need,the project can be assessed for their ability to address that need,rather than simply identifying negative consequences to the environment. • Page 9 UltraSystems UEI No.200209 ita FREEWAY CORRIDOR MIXED USE OVERLAY ZONE 'i' Approach: The UltraSystems project team will prepare all necessary materials that will be needed by the City to meet CEQA procedural guidelines and requirements. Documents will be developed in parallel to streamline the schedule so that all information is consistent and compatible. The following documents and activities will be designed to move through the environmental analysis process in an orderly and expedient manner. The end result of these steps is the identification of the range of viable alternatives that will be addressed in the EIR document. Presented below is a typical roadmap for an environmental review document. This roadmap depicts five stages: (1) project scoping; (2) development of the environmental review process; (3) drafting the environmental documents; (4) finalizing the environmental documents; and (5) the permitting process.

The NOP is mailed to agencies,advises recipients of the client's intention to prepare an EIR,and begins a 30-day period under CEQA during which state trustee and responsible agencies must provide input. It is recommended that the NOP include an Initial Checklist(described below). The NOP is also posted with the County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse. UltraSystems recommends that advertisements about the NOP and a public Scoping Meeting be published in the publications that serve the project area. The advertisement should include notice that scoping materials can be accessed via the City's website and that language translators will be available, if requested. _ Page 10 }l UltraSystems UEI No.200209 •O FREEWAY CORRIDOR MIXED USE OVERLAY ZONE •:• Develop Project Description The Project Description must be clearly and comprehensively defined to enable the environmental analyses to be prepared in a legally defensible manner.The Project Description will provide the basis for defining and screening alternative solutions,and rationale to justify the selection of a preferred alternative. The Project Description will become a reference,point for decision-making throughout the environmental process. The key component of the statement is definition of the problem that is to be studied, along with associated issues. The Project Description is not a justification for a pre-supposed solution but is the basis for defining alternatives that address the problem. UltraSystems will prepare a draft Project Description to enable the scoping process to begin in a timely manner. Revisions to the statement that may arise from comments received during the scoping process,or from the client,will be made as needed. Prepare CEQA Initial Study Checklist to Accompany the NOP Under CEQA,a lead agency may use an Initial Study Checklist to make a preliminary assessment of likely project impacts. Information on the types and anticipated magnitude of impacts will assist agencies in responding to the NOP in a timely manner and in participating in the scoping meetings. In addition,the IS checklist provides the means for preparing a focused EIR that addresses only those issues with potentially significant impacts. Topics shown in the IS checklist to have no impact on the environment,or for which measures can be identified early in the process to avoid such impacts,can be eliminated from EIR analyses. It should also be noted that the Initial Study conclusions can provide for a lesser-type environmental document,such as a Mitigated Negative Declaration. Conduct and Document Scoping Meeting A formal scoping meeting is not required under CEQA. The UltraSystems project team will develop a scoping package that includes: • A description of the problem/project that the lead agency is studying; • Conceptual alternatives for solving the problem; • Anticipated environmental impacts that will be addressed in the EIR; • Proposed analytical methods;and • Planned agency and public outreach activities. UltraSystems would host two scoping meetings,two weeks after the NOP is issued. One meeting will be for public agencies during business hours, and one for the general public in the afternoon or evening. It is recommended that the public meeting be in the"open house"format,in which several stations (each with a different topic and appropriately staffed) are set up for interested parties to visit,coupled with a presentation to ensure that a consistent message is conveyed to all in attendance. Comments received from the NOP and the scoping meetings are considered in determining which alternatives will be addressed in the EIR. They also provide input to the types of environmental issues and the methodologies that should be included. Although no formal responses to these comments are required under CEQA,a response should be included in the EIR for the project.

Key Deliverables: > NOP,and advertisements. > Draft and Final Project Description. > Draft and Final Initial Study Checklist. > Scoping Meeting. Environmental Technical Studies Objective:To undertake a range of technical studies(see discipline list above)containing the analysis needed to support the EIR. It is important that all assumptions used in the various technical analyses be consistent and that any changes in project definitions or characteristics be communicated in a timely manner so that the reports can be updated accordingly. Challenge: To pilot these multidisciplinary studies concurrently and efficiently. Approach:To enable the various technical studies to proceed in parallel and on a consistent basis,a uniform set of project assumptions will be developed. A kick-off meeting will be held with all staff at which these basic assumptions will be discussed along with budget and schedule information. This basic set of information defines the framework for the analysis. Detailed Description of Alternatives: After scoping and the second screening of alternatives, a detailed definition of each of the alternatives to be evaluated will be prepared. This definition will include all physical and operational components and characteristics as well as distribution within the study area. Plans and maps will support the detailed definitions. Construction Scenarios:For each of the alternatives to be assessed,a detailed definition of how the improvements would be constructed will be prepared.This definition would include the anticipated duration of various types of construction activities and estimates of the characteristics of each. These would include area of disturbance,volumes of materials used or moved,types of equipment involved, numbers of related trips,etc. Tracking Changes: The UltraSystems Team will use an internal notification process to advise all project team members of changes to the detailed definition of alternatives or construction scenarios. Baseline Documents: The first step in preparing the environmental technical studies is the review of existing studies to gather data pertinent to the topic to be analyzed. Each of the studies will be carefully reviewed to ensure that its underlying assumptions are still applicable to current conditions or to the types of alternatives to be analyzed. Where previous studies have not sufficiently analyzed issues,the UltraSystems project team will gather baseline information from reliable sources. Among the studies that will be gathered and analyzed include; (1)existing plans within the study area,and (2)any other recently certified environmental document. Key Deliverables: > Construction Scenarios. > Detailed Description of Alternatives. Specific Technical Studies:The UltraSystems Team will identify with the City the technical studies that are required as part of the environmental process. The number of studies needed may change as a result of the scoping process. Comments received from environmental organizations or the Page 12 LI1traSystems UEI No.200209 •-0/7 + FREEWAY CORRIDOR MIXED USE OVERLAY ZONE '.4,' public may raise issues or concerns that would need to be addressed through additional technical studies. Key Deliverable: ➢ For each topic,either a stand-alone technical report or a write-up suitable for incorporation into the EIR will be produced,depending on how the client wants technical reports handled. Traffic Study Approach The traffic studies for the environmental documentation will be completed as needed by KOA to support the City's related projects. For each project to be studied, KOA will work with the project team to determine the potential number of vehicles to and from the site on a typical weekday and during peak hours. We will then determine if a traffic study is warranted based on the traffic study guidelines of the City. If the project traffic level meets the threshold for a traffic study,KOA will work with the project team as well as City staff to determine the scope of the traffic analysis. This will include the roadways to be studied, the intersections to be studies, the project scenarios and the years of analyses. Draft Environmental Document Objective: To prepare a draft environmental document by UltraSystems under the leadership of Margaret Partridge for team review within the City's timeframe. Challenges: As a combined EIR, to appropriately distinguish impacts as defined by CEQA (i.e., "significant" impacts). In addition, each area of impact assessment must be consistent in terms of language, style and graphics. The process of reviewing and approving the draft EIR can be time consuming. UltraSystems'recommendations for managing this process are described below. Approach: The UltraSystems Team will prepare the combined document in the CEQA format, in which setting,impacts and mitigation are discussed sequentially by topic. Impacts will be discussed from both the CEQA perspectives, utilizing language approved for other approved environmental documents to note where significant impacts would occur under the definitions and requirements of CEQA.The draft EIR will be compiled and completed thorough document consistency review process. Review of the Draft EIR will be facilitated using one or more in-person review sessions,involving all those who have comments to convey. This method has proven useful for numerous projects,because it provides the individual reviewers the opportunity to hear the comments of others and it also assists the document writers by providing a forum for consolidating differences of opinion. Based upon past experience,it is reasonable to assume that two review cycles will occur,with all parties participating in each cycle. Completion of the technical studies will produce the information needed for the preparing the EIR,which will be prepared as follows. Administrative Draft EIR: The UltraSystems project team will prepare an Administrative Draft document, which will contain all material necessary to respond to both CEQA requirements. Any technical studies that are prepared as stand-alone technical reports will be included as appendices and incorporated by reference. The interactive review sessions described above will be conducted. Prepare and Circulate Draft EIR:When all comments on the Draft EIR have been resolved,the Draft EIR will be finalized,printed and distributed to all appropriate parties. If desired by the client,the Draft EIR will be converted to a.pdf format and placed on Internet websites. A Notice of Completion Page 13 • UltraSystems UEI No.200209 'i' FREEWAY CORRIDOR MIXED USE OVERLAY ZONE•i' (NOC) and accompanying materials will be prepared and filed with the County Clerk and State Clearinghouse.The UltraSystems project team will publish notices as display ads in the appropriate newspapers serving the study area. The ad will include a brief description of the project and environmental impacts,and specify the date,time and location of the public hearing(s). Public comment period and public hearing: CEQA requires the same time period for projects of regional significance. During this period,comments from both the public and agencies are sought. A second notification about the public hearing(s)will be performed approximately 10 days before the public hearing. The same display ad will be republished. One or more hearings will be scheduled approximately 30 days into the comment period. Depending on the City's preference, the hearing format can be"open house"style or the traditional"podium"style (formal presentation followed by sequential comments from the floor). It may also be desirable to combine the two formats. All comments submitted by attendees will be documented. Key Deliverables > Administrative Draft EIR. > Draft EIR,required federal and state notices,advertisements. > Public hearing notices,public hearing(s),public hearing record. Public Involvement Plan Objective: To design a written strategic approach that empowers the general public, business and community leaders to participate in decision and policy-making activities related to the project by providing appropriate forums for the generation of comments, ideas and solutions. The City will determine the extent of the public involvement program. The UltraSystems project team will work with the City to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of several levels of public involvement strategy.Results will be recorded in a matrix for decision-making and documentation needs. Challenge:To raise the visibility of the study and,at the same time,avoid premature"over-exposure" that might jeopardize the team's ability to develop feasible solutions to identified concerns. Approach: The first task associated with commencing a public outreach effort is to develop a strategic,comprehensive,and targeted public outreach plan,which will serve as the blueprint for this element of the Study. This Plan will identify project-related tasks, key milestones and a proposed timeline to guide the outreach effort while, at the same time, building in enough flexibility to accommodate the dynamic nature of this project. Key Deliverable: > Strategic,comprehensive,and targeted public outreach plan. Stakeholder Identification I Database Objective: To identify stakeholders (i.e., those in the project area and others with substantive interest in the project)and to create a comprehensive mailing list for notification purposes. Challenge:To develop a level of trust and communications flow with project stakeholders and local opinion leaders at the outset of the study,and to establish credibility for the project with a public that might perceive it as too idealistic. Page 14 `�� LI traSystems UEINo.200209 W •i• FREEWAY CORRIDOR MIXED USE OVERLAY ZONE •i• s Approach:Information is only as good as the people you reach with it. Our experience suggests that initial stakeholder identification is key to the ultimate success of the overall outreach efforts. A natural consequence of our comprehensive stakeholder identification is the development of a project-related database. The UltraSystems project team will develop a study-related database or coordinate with the client to augment existing databases. We will initially conduct research to be sure that the database of community leaders, organizations,and key business groups includes (at a minimum) the following types of participants: • Public officials, including municipal, county, state and federal elected officials with jurisdiction over the project study area; • Public agencies and local jurisdictions affected by the project; • Existing citizen advisory committees; • Chambers of commerce and business organizations; • Civic organizations;and • Environmental organizations. Key Deliverable: > Stakeholder Database. Public Meetings and Hearings Objective:To meet and supplement the NEPA and CEQA scoping requirements. Challenges: To provide a sufficient level of detail in a manner that is easily understood to achieve maximum participation by the public and key stakeholders. Public Meetings and Hearings must be given proper notice with adequate lead times. These meetings and hearings need to be held in convenient, accessible locations with consideration to other events, holidays, and competing interests. Approach: Public input is required by NEPA and CEQA during an Environmental Assessment. Through the formal NEPA and CEQA requirements,we recommend an initial Scoping Meeting and a Public Hearing coinciding with the release of the draft document.These meetings require notes taken by a court reporter. We also recommend supplementing these two key meetings with public open houses at key milestones during the process. The workshop/open house format allows people to drop in at a venue in a more relaxed environment during a two to three-hour timeframe. Participants are then free to leisurely circulate in a large room with specific information at different stations and to receive information or ask questions in a"user-friendly"environment. Each station might be geared towards a certain alternative or environmental element of the study. All efforts must be made to achieve a level of comfort for participants such as providing attractive informational handouts, name tags and sign-in sheets. Typically, the logistics of such meetings include: • Identifying and reserving an appropriate location; • Developing and maintaining mailing lists for notices; (r Page 15 u:9):UltraSv stems UEI No.200209 • FREEWAY CORRIDOR MIXED USE OVERLAY ZONE• • Drafting and distributing notices of upcoming meetings/workshops; • Creating presentation materials and handouts; • Obtaining information on parking, lighting, seating, required audio or amplification equipment,security,insurance and translation services and equipment; • Preparing and maintaining sign-in sheets; • Conducting or moderating meetings and discussions; • Providing translated written materials into appropriate languages; • Assuring appropriate supply of hand-outs and collateral materials; • Recording comments;and • Summarizing workshops/meetings/public hearings. The initial Scoping Meeting and Public Hearing will be publicized via newspapers as well as via the project newsletter and/or meeting notices mailed using the project database. Open-house meeting notices will be mailed. Liti a No Key Deliverables: a. > Initial Scoping Meeting. > Open houses at appropriate project milestones. > Public Hearing(release of draft document). > Follow-up meeting responding to comments at Public Hearing. ; > Translation service,as appropriate. > Court reporter for the Scoping Meeting and Public Hearing. ofstoir > Newspaper advertisements for the Scoping Meetings and meeting notices. Final Environmental Document Objectives: To complete the environmental documentation process and receive regulatory approvals. Challenges: To respond to comments made on the draft document, make needed changes to the document in response to comments, and prepare the document itself. Of concern at this stage is ensuring that comments are thoughtfully responded to in a timely manner, and that any changes in one part of the document are consistent with other parts. Approach:A very systematic process for managing comments and responses will be implemented. The process begins with assembly of all the comments received(both written and oral)at the end of the public comment period and organizing them into categories. Timelines for responding will be established. Comments will be assembled into packages and distributed to all those from whom responses are needed. The received responses will be compiled into a draft "Comments and Responses" package for review. It is recommended that a one- to two-day session be used to collectively review the comments and responses. It will be extremely important to have the involvement of key City staff and City Counsel at this session. Upon approval of the Comment and Response package,the Draft EIR/EIS will be revised to become the Final EIR/EIS,using the following process. Page 16 8 UltraSystems UEI No.200209 0 4402 'O FREEWAY CORRIDOR MIXED USE OVERLAY ZONE '' Prepare Administrative Final EIR/EIS: Comments and responses will be reported in a Comments and Coordination chapter to be added to the DEIR/DEIS. In addition, all necessary text and figure revisions will be made. An administrative draft final document will be submitted for the City and selected agencies'review. The AFEIS/FEIR will identify the preferred project alternative. Final EIR/EIS for Approval: The UltraSystems Team will again conduct an in-person document review session,involving key personnel (including legal counsel), for the purpose of obtaining final comments on the document. This will culminate in producing a Final EIR/EIS for approval. Prepare and Distribute Final EIR/EIS: Upon approval, the Final EIR/EIS will be printed and distributed to all appropriate parties,including all those who provided comments on the DEIR/DEIS. A NOC and copies of the FEIR/FEIR will be filed with the State Clearinghouse and a copy of the NOC will be filed with the County Clerk. Post Document Procedures The UltraSystems Team can provide assistance with the following processes. CEQA Certification: The Final EIR will need to be certified as complete, and certain other findings will be needed in accordance with CEQA. Among these are: approval of a project, adoption of a Statement of Findings and Overriding Considerations (needed if there are residual adverse unavoidable significant impacts), adoption of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), and certain other actions. The UltraSystems Team will prepare all necessary documentation,including the MMRP. Following approval of the project,we will also prepare and file the Notice of Determination (NOD) with the County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse. Filing the NOD initiates a 30-day period during which any legal challenges to the EIR must be filed. If there are no challenges,the CEQA process is complete. Conducting Technical Peer Reviews-Typical Approach The purpose of performing a CEQA adequacy peer-review is determine if the technical study contains the necessary content to support the environmental analysis that is germane to the technical study topic in the IS/MND.For each of these technical studies UltraSystems will determine the following: Table of Contents - If a table of contents is included, a comparison will be made to text to verify consistent referencing. If the technical study includes an appendix,a verification will be made if the appendix is attached and correctly referenced. Table and Exhibit Numbering - Table numbers and exhibit numbers will be compared to their respective in-text references to verify consistent referencing. Consistency Between Technical Studies - UltraSystems comprehends that technical studies may have been prepared by different firms that employ different writing styles, formatting techniques, use of graphics and exhibits,and other variables.Regardless of the authoring techniques employed by different firms, the technical studies used to supplement the analysis and be appended to the IS/MND must be sufficiently similar to each other in the technical content conveyed or the overall environmental analysis could become misleading, incorrect, or both.The peer-review will look for variables such as a consistent structure of the information presented, use of abbreviations and acronyms,bibliography,and other variables. Page 17 • UltraSystems UEI No.200209 •i*FREEWAY CORRIDOR MIXED USE OVERLAY ZONE •i* Consistent Representation of Project Information - The Project Description contained in the IS/MND must be consistent with the technical content in each of the technical studies.The technical analysis of each study will be compared to the Project Description to verify it is accurately represented and that the analysis presented in the technical study has a logical nexus to the description of the project. Contains Necessary Thresholds of Significance - Each technical study will be reviewed to verify each of the thresholds of significance contained in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines are represented and analyzed. In addition, each technical study will be reviewed to verify if any thresholds of significance from the City's guidelines for the implementation of CEQA are included along with any applicable thresholds from the General Plan and, if applicable, the Rosemead's Municipal Code. 3.0 EXPERIENCE ON SIMILAR PROJECTS The completed projects below, demonstrate UltraSystems experience preparing environmental documents and technical studies,preparing technical peer reviews,and working public agencies.

Dependent on the complexity of project assignment Betsy Lindsay,Project Director,will work with the Senior Project Manager,Margaret Partridge,AICP,to develop and implement a project management plan (PMP) for each task order assignment.The PMP will contain an orderly,structured process for identifying, scheduling and coordinating all specific line items within the Work Plan. The assigned Deputy PM will be responsible for ensuring that the highest-quality work products are prepared for the approved cost. The PMP will be specific to each individual task order and will be designed to meet the criteria for all environmental, engineering, environmental compliance and regulatory requirements. As with any project undertaken, the UltraSystems project team will implement each project in an orderly,technical service assignment to ensure that the most qualified staff, including those of our subconsultant partners,will be assigned to work activities. This phase of our project management system immediately communicates to each designated staff a clearly defined task assignment and his/her area of responsibility on the project. Our PMP will include: (1)an overall work flow chart identifying the critical path; (2)a detailed description of each task order; (3)a detailed schedule for each work task; (4)a detailed breakdown of the costs for each task; (5)a detailed staffing plan for each task; (6)a communication protocol; (7)quality assurance and quality control plan; (8) monthly progress reports to the City; (9)project meetings; (10) communications with the City and other entities; and (11)subcontracts with our teaming partners. The PMP will be the basis against which a specific project status and progress will be measured and reported to the City. 5.2 Quality Assurance/Quality Control(QA/QC) UltraSystems will be responsible for Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) for all task orders or assignments, as issued by City. UltraSystems will ensure that all project task orders and documents are provided in compliance with federal,state and local regulations. Task orders will be performed within pre-determined milestones and a defined overall project schedule for each task order or assignment delegated to UltraSystems,as well as within the project budget as understood and accepted by both parties. UltraSystems has developed a QA/QC program that monitors all work order deliverables and services to ensure that the QA/QC program criteria are met. The UltraSystems Senior Project Manager, Margaret Partridge, AICP will develop a systematic approach to monitor the QA/QC program. Due to the potential involvement of multi-jurisdictional agencies, a QA/QC plan will be prepared specifically for each task order as deemed necessary. All team members assigned to the UltraSystems project team will adopt this plan for each task order assignment. Each project undertaken by UltraSystems will be subjected to a functional tracking system to measure the progression of project activities as they relate to the anticipated scheduling and costs. In the event that tasks or conditions warrant additional work assignments,UltraSystems will develop an accurate cost assessment for these additional tasks and discuss these needs directly with the professionals of our project team,as well as with the client,to ensure the full understanding of the additional work assignments. The core concept of any plan is that independent peer reviews Page 24 UltraSvstems UEI No.200209 'i' FREEWAY CORRIDOR MIXED USE OVERLAY ZONE 'i' will also be conducted for all reports, work products and deliverables prior to being submitted. Submittals will be cycled through internal QA/QC review. The QA/QC program will clearly define who is responsible for completion of tasks, along with the review process for that task. This is intended to ensure that all documents are checked and re-checked for completeness and readability, in accordance with our approved scope of work and contract requirements. This"task tieback"also ensures that all correspondence is routed to the appropriate individuals. Our QA/QC Program was developed to be flexible in order to account for specific client needs. It was also designed to reduce redundant layers of management by assigning UltraSystems project managers and its staff to implement and monitor our QA/QC program at any given point of time during the course of a project. Quality assurance objectives are clearly defined for each project undertaken by UltraSystems to ensure a high level of accuracy of data and related materials,quality of work products,and the compatibility and completeness that are necessary to meet the predefined goals of the project. These objectives are defined in terms of project-specific requirements. If the available methods of UltraSystems'quality assurance do not measure up to any given project's needs, the methods will be modified to compensate for any deficiencies. 5.3 Project Management,Control Capabilities,and Procedures UltraSystems will prepare a Project Management Plan (PMP) to meet the criteria for any project and/or task order assignment. As with any project undertaken by UltraSystems, each technical service required will have a clear line of responsibility and will be managed by the senior project manager. The UltraSystems project manager will implement a Technical Service Assignment(TSA) to ensure that the most qualified professionals are assigned to specific project activities, including professionals from our subconsultant partners. This phase of our project management system immediately communicates to each designated professional a clearly-defined function and area of responsibility. The PMP will include the following elements: quality control plan; project schedule; progress reports;project meetings;effective communication;and subcontracts. The elements of the PMP are presented below: Project Schedule. As soon as UltraSystems receives notification to proceed on any task order project,we will expand the current PMP already prepared for this contract. UltraSystems achieves effective cost control by implementing an integrated job cost accounting system,in addition to a cost and schedule system for project task order execution. The project schedule will be prepared in Microsoft Excel software and will identify timelines for completion of all project tasks and deliverables. This tracking system provides UltraSystems with real-time project costs and scheduling information. If necessary, the schedule will be updated as needed. UltraSystems' senior project manager will meet with each team member to ensure that the PMP is thoroughly understood and to discuss our due diligence process. Progress Reports. Our progressive invoicing systems will accurately track labor charges, subcontractor costs and other direct expenses and accounts receivable.

Our traffic consultant, the Ganddini Group,will discuss a traffic scope of work with the City's traffic engineer to ensure the traffic study adequately addresses all City traffic and circulation issues associated with the project with special focus on a Vehicles Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis. b) Preparation of Mitigated Negative Declaration Immediately after the kick-off meeting, Phil Martin & Associates will begin preparation of the MND. Phil Martin & Associates will prepare the MND to comply with the 2020 CEQA Guidelines, as amended. The MND will include the following tasks: 5 Aesthetics The City of Rosemead General Plan does not identify any designated scenic resources either on or adjacent to the site. Similarly, the State does not have any adopted scenic state highways adjacent to or within close proximity to the site. The existing aesthetic characteristics of the site and surrounding land uses will be described. This section will also discuss how the project design is sensitive to the adjacent residences to the north and east in regards to massing. Surface level photographs of the site and the surrounding land uses will be provided along with a photo key map to show the aesthetic and visual qualities on the site and the land uses surrounding the site. This section will include building elevations showing the architecture, design, and color scheme of the proposed project. A landscape plan,if available, showing the proposed plantings and hardscape materials of the project will be included. This section will focus on and analyze the potential aesthetic impacts of the project on the land uses adjacent to and surrounding the site based on the project's architecture, design, and landscape plans with consistency with the Rosemead Municipal Code. Air Quality Giroux&Associates will prepare an air quality analysis as a sub-consultant to Phil Martin&Associates. Phil Martin & Associates will summarize the air quality analysis in the MND and attach the full report in the MND appendix. The air quality report will include the following: • Provide an air quality setting based upon SCAQMD monitoring data from the Pico Rivera air monitoring station,which is the closest air monitoring station to the project. • Calculate temporary construction activity emissions (demolition, grading & construction) using procedures identified in the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook (1993) and incorporated into the CalEEMod computer model. • Utilize the CalEEMod model to calculate regional emissions associated with project-generated traffic. • Evaluate the potential for any micro-scale air pollution hotspot formations using the SCAQMD Local Significant Threshold methodology. • Discuss project consistency with the South Coast Air Basin Regional Air Quality Management Plan in terms of land use planning consistency for the proposed site development. • Identify applicable mitigation measures, including relevant transportation control measures (TCMs) incorporated into the air basin portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). • Discuss the potential effects on local air quality of cumulative development in the area. • Summarize the air quality findings in a "stand-alone" draft air quality technical report in a setting/impact/mitigation format. The air quality impacts of the project will be divided into the short-term dust generation, local impacts, and long-term regional air pollution increases. Short-term dust and emission generation due to construction activities will be forecasted using the URBEMIS model. If provided by the project applicant, detailed estimates of the potential construction equipment that will be used during project demolition and construction will be referenced to calculate these emissions. Otherwise, conservative estimates of the various required construction activities to determine short-term emissions will be used. The air pollutant emissions generated during project construction will be compared to the SCAQMD Regional and Local Significance Thresholds. Measures to reduce dust generation required by the South Coast Air Quality Management District will be identified. Additionally,measures in the AQMP to control construction activity emissions will be, as applicable, discussed in the air quality report. Long-term operational emissions will be generated by project traffic, combustion of natural gas to heat the building, operation of landscape equipment, and the use of architectural coatings during building maintenance. The air emissions generated by these sources will be assessed and compared to the SCAQMD Regional and Local Significance Thresholds to determine their 6 significance. Mitigation measures will be recommended to reduce significant long-term operational air quality emissions as much as possible to meet adopted thresholds and comply with CEQA. Energy The MND will include this new CEQA section and analyze and discuss the estimated energy consumed by the project during both project construction and the life of the project. This section will also discuss how the project will comply with Title 24 Energy Standards and CALGreen energy requirements. Greenhouse Gas Assessment Giroux & Associates will closely follow the generally accepted analysis methodologies and significance thresholds for greenhouse gas emissions and will apply the most current standards to the project. The greenhouse gas scope of work will include the following: • Describe the existing GHG regulatory environment focused on AB-32 and SB-375. Summarize the base year GHG emissions inventory for La Mirada and discuss the likely progress in moving forward from that time. • Identify the appropriate thresholds of impact significance that include both the quantity of GHG generated by the project as well as project consistency with sustainable community initiatives. • Quantify GHG emissions associated with transportation, on-site energy consumption, indirect electricity generation emissions, solid waste generation,and water use using the CaIEEMod computer model GHG module. • Determine GHG impact significance after application of available mitigation measures. Geology and Soils A preliminary geotechnical report will be provided by the project applicant to Phil Martin&Associates. The geotechnical report will be summarized in the MND and the full geotechnical report included in the MND appendix. Mitigation measures, if required,will be incorporated to reduce potential water quality, grading or storm water impacts to less than significant to comply with CEQA. Hazards and Hazardous Materials A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) will be provided by the project applicant to Phil Martin & Associates. The Phase I ESA will be summarized in the MND and the full Phase I ESA included in the MND appendix. Mitigation measures, based on the conclusions and recommendations in the Phase I ESA will be incorporated into the MND to reduce potential hazardous impacts to less than significant to comply with CEQA. Hydrology/Water Quality A hydrology report,grading plan and Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) will be provided by the project applicant to Phil Martin &Associates. The hydrology report and SUSMP will be summarized in the MND and the full reports included in the MND appendix. Mitigation measures, if required, will be incorporated to reduce potential water quality, grading or storm water impacts to less than significant to comply with CEQA. 7 Land Use The Rosemead General Plan land use designation for the site is Commercial and the project applicant is requesting a general plan amendment to Mixed-Use, Residential/Commercial (30 DU/AC). The project applicant is also requesting a zone change from C-3 Medium Commercial to RC-MUDO (30 DU/AD; 3 stories). Of the 42 proposed condominium units, seven (7) of the units are proposed to be low income. As a result, the project is requesting a thirty-five percent density bonus to allow the 42 units. The mixed-use building is proposed to be four stories in height and greater than three stories that are allowed in the requested RC-MUDO (30 DU/AD; 3 stories) zone. The project is requesting two concessions that would allow the four-story building to exceed the three-story height limit and a reduction in the percentage of commercial use from the required 33 percent to 27.8 percent. The Land Use section will evaluate the compliance of the requested entitlements with the Rosemead General Plan and the permitted uses, development standards and general requirements of section 17.28.030 of the Rosemead Municipal Code for the RC-MUDO zone. The land use section will discuss the compatibility of the project with the surrounding land uses with emphasis on the existing residences north and east of the site. When required,measures will be recommended to reduce land use impacts to less than significant. Noise Giroux & Associates will prepare a noise assessment for the project as a sub-consultant to Phil Martin & Associates. Phil Martin &Associates will summarize the noise assessment and attach the complete report in the MND appendix. The noise assessment will include the following: • Perform limited on-site ambient noise monitoring after consultation with City staff to establish an existing baseline and determine the noise generation from traffic and area commercial uses. • Develop a baseline traffic noise exposure profile in terms of the CNEL noise metric using the FHWA Model with the latest California vehicle noise curves (CALVENO) focused on local impacts from freeway traffic. • Prepare a no-project versus with-project mobile noise impact comparison, including any viable project alternative development scenarios. Identify specific sensitive receiver locations where mobile source noise impacts may adversely affect nearby sensitive receivers. • Evaluate stationary noise impacts from temporary on-site construction noise sources. • Relate project noise impacts to the Noise Element noise/land use compatibility guidelines in the City of Rosemead General Plan Noise Element and other applicable noise exposure regulations. • Develop a noise impact mitigation plan for any predicted noise impacts that exceed target noise exposure limits,including community noise standards relevant to this project as contained in the City of Rosemead Noise Element and Noise Ordinance. The City's noise standards will be summarized and their relevance to the project discussed. • Develop a noise impact mitigation plan for any predicted noise impacts that exceed target noise exposure limits. Identify likely structural noise protection that will be needed to meet the building code for the uses proposed. • Summarize the findings in a"stand-alone" draft noise report. Mitigation measures to reduce potential noise impacts will be provided as necessary to meet the City's Noise Ordinance and comply with CEQA. 8 Public Services and Utilities This section will evaluate the potential impacts of the project on the various public services and utilities that will serve the project.

Lot 1 is located west of 11th Avenue between 36th Street and Exposition Boulevard. Lot 2 is located east of 11th Avenue and north of Exposition Boulevard. Lot 3 is located west of 10th Avenue and south of 36th Street.The project site is proposed to be developed with 106 dwelling units of residential condominiums.Access to the project site is proposed to be provided to 11th Avenue for Lots 1 and 2, and 10th Avenue for Lot 3. The existing land use consists of a 54,212 square foot dairy processing plant. Per the Los Angeles Department of Transportation,Transportation Impact Study Guidelines, December 2016, a technical memorandum is required when the development project is likely to add 25 to 42 morning or evening peak hour trips and a transportation impact study is necessary when the development project is likely to add 43 or more morning or evening peak hour trips. Since the proposed project is projected to generate approximately 1 more morning peak hour trip than the existing land use and 12 more evening peak hour trips than the existing land use, neither a technical memorandum or transportation impact study is required since the 12 evening peak hour trips are less than the 25 peak hour trip requirement for a technical memorandum.

This study consists of four focus areas and related concerns are summarized as follows: Focus Area 1 - Bend at Timberlyn Trail Road: There is a curvature in horizontal alignment at the approximate mid-block of Timberlyn Trail Road. Combined with a downhill grade and on-street parking, poor sight lines have resulted in safety concerns related to residents and visitors crossing Timberlyn Trail Road to access their vehicles parked along the inside of the curve. Focus Area 2 - Knuckle at Hawks Pointe Drive:Traffic concerns at this location relate to conflicts between vehicles exiting the knuckle in the northbound direction and vehicles backing out of the residential driveways on the east side of the roadway. Focus Area 3 - Laguna Street at Capistrano Road: Traffic concerns at the intersection of Laguna Street and Capistrano Road are primarily related to pedestrian activity.Traffic is currently uncontrolled along Capistrano Road. Pedestrians cross Capistrano Road to access a trail head at the Laguna Street cul-de-sac. Focus Area 4- Hawks Pointe Drive at Highlander Road: Traffic concerns at the intersection of Hawks Pointe Drive and Highlander Road are primarily related to stop sign violations. Some vehicles do not perform a complete stop before proceeding through the intersection. The purpose of this traffic calming study is to review the existing roadway conditions, document actual vehicular speeds at key locations,and identify applicable traffic calming measures. 550 Parkcenter Drive,Suite 202,Santa Ana,CA 92705 1(714)795-31001 www.ganddini.com ORANGE COUNTY • RIVERSIDE • PALO ALTO gmdl1 transportation • noise • air quality I GANDDINI GROUP 2020 STANDARD COMPENSATION SCHEDULE CLASSIFICATION HOURLY RATE Principal $ 165 Senior Associate $ 130 Associate $ 100 Junior Associate $ 75 Senior Technician $ 55 Technician $ 40 Administrative Assistant $ 40 STANDARD TERMS&CONDITIONS 1.
