EXHIBIT "A"
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Phil Martin & Associates proposes the following work product to prepare the
environmental impact report for the project.
a. Kick -off Meeting
Upon authorization to proceed and signature of a contract, Phil Martin will meet with City
staff and the project applicant to discuss the project in detail, develop a schedule to
complete the MND and obtain the documents requested in this proposal to begin
preparation of the MND. We will also discuss a traffic scope of work with the City's traffic
engineer and the traffic consultant to ensure the traffic consultant adequately addresses all
City traffic and circulation issues associated with the project.
b. Preparation of Mitigated Negative Declaration
Immediately after the kick -off meeting Phil Martin &Associates will begin preparation of the
Mitigated Negative Declaration. Phil Martin & Associates will prepare the MND to comply
with the 2013 CEQA Guidelines, as amended. The MND will include the following tasks:
Aesthetics
The City of Rosemead General Plan does not identify any designated scenic resources on
the site and the State does not have any adopted scenic state highways adjacent to or
close proximity to the site. Thus, this section will focus on and analyze the potential
aesthetic impacts of the project on the land uses adjacent to and surrounding the site. The
existing aesthetic characteristics of the site and surrounding land uses will be described,
including the residences of the mobile home parks west and north of the site. 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 an analysis of the potential aesthetic impacts of the project due to
the proposed development. Phil Martin & Associates will prepare two photo - simulations of
the project as seen from Garvey Avenue and Del Mar Avenue. The photo - simulations will
show the site if developed as proposed. The level of detail of the photo - simulations will be
based on the detail of information provided by the project architect.
This section will include building elevations showing the architecture, design, and color
scheme of the proposed building as seen from all four sides including Garvey Avenue, Del
Mar Avenue, Brighton Street and the residences north of the site. If available, a landscape
plan showing the proposed plantings and hardscape materials of the project will also be
provided. The aesthetic section of the MND will compare the architecture, design, and
landscape plans to any applicable City design guidelines.

A photometric study will be provided by OMB Electrical to determine the potential lighting
impacts of the project to adjacent residents north of the site and motorists on Garvey
Avenue and Del Mar Avenue. The photometric study will show the lumens on the
properties adjacent to the site to determine if project lighting would impact adjacent
residents. Site specific lighting information including light manufacturers, light model
numbers, light locations, height, lumens, etc. will be requested from the architect in order to
provide a meaningful photometric analysis.
If potential aesthetic impacts are identified, measures to mitigate potential aesthetic
impacts will be recommended in conjunction with recommendations of city staff and the
project developer.
Air Quality
Giroux and Associates will prepare an air quality analysis and greenhouse gas emission
calculations as a sub - consultant to Phil Martin & Associates. Phil Martin & Associates will
summarize the air quality and greenhouse gas emission reports in the MND and attach the
full documents in the MND appendix.
The air quality report will include the following information:
• Provide an air quality setting based upon SCAQMD monitoring data from the Pico
Rivera air monitoring station.
• 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.
• Calculate regional vehicular emissions using the currently recommended CalEEMod
computer model.
• Evaluate the potential for micro -scale air pollution "hotspot" formation relative to
surrounding emissions sources. Discuss project proximity to emissions sources
from adjacent commercial uses (laundromats, fast food and sit -down restaurants,
etc.).
• Analyze possible air quality issues between subterranean parking and on -site
residential use.
• Discuss project consistency with the South Coast Air Basin Regional Air Quality
Management Plan in terms of land use planning consistency.
• Identify any potentially 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
B -12
Phil Martin & Associates, Inc.
Page 13 of 34
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 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.
Greenhouse Gas Assessment
Giroux and 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 Rosemead 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.
• Based upon the relative roles of transportation and non - transportation emissions
projections, identify mitigation potential that might reduce the gap between AB -32
goals versus programs that are already in place (CAFE, LCFS, energy efficiency,
etc.).
• Determine GHG impact significance after application of available mitigation
measures.
Geology and Soils
A preliminary geotechnical report will be prepared by Petra Geotechnical as a sub -
consultant to Phil Martin & Associates. The geotechnical report will be summarized in the
MND and the full geotechnical report included in the MND appendix. Petra's scope of work
will include the following tasks:
Review conceptual plans and project data available at the time of the study.
Perform a detailed reconnaissance of the surface conditions within the parcels that
comprise the current area of study.

• Research and review available published maps and literature pertaining to local
geologic, seismic and groundwater conditions.
• Research and review consultant reports on file with Petra and the City of Rosemead
that pertain to local subsurface geologic conditions within and in the area of the
subject site. Such background information would include available design- and
construction -phase geotechnical reports related to the site and other nearby
development projects.
• Perform appropriate geotechnical analysis of the compiled data and include
assessing each of the geotechnical constraints identified during the studies listed
above and preparing a set of significance criteria. Typical geotechnical constraints
that would be considered as factors with regard to the report will include the
presence of active faulting within the area of study, soil compressibility, liquefaction
susceptibility and potential total and differential settlement due to seismic (i.e.,
liquefaction and dynamic compaction of dry soils) and static conditions, and
foundation design constraints, among other issues.
• Prepare a feasibility -level geotechnical report presenting the results of the
assessment of geotechnical factors that may be of significance with respect to
implementation of the project.
• In general, our report will include the following:
• A description of the existing geologic setting within and adjacent to the study
area.
• A summary of the significance criteria as established by the City's adopted
CEQA guidelines.
• A discussion of geotechnical issues that may potentially impactthe proposed
development and the relative level of significance of each issue.
• A preliminary discussion of mitigation measures that may be implemented, if
required, to reduce the impact of geotechnical issues to a less than significant or
insignificant level.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Petra Geotechnical will prepare a Phase I ESA as a sub - consultant to Phil Martin &
Associates. The Phase I ESA will be summarized in the MND and the full report will be
attached in the MND appendix. Petra will conduct an environmental site assessment in
accordance with ASTM Standard E 1527 -05 and the EPA's All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI)
regulations (40 CFR Part 312) to identify the presence or likely presence of recognized
environmental conditions at the site and include the following tasks.
• Perform a site reconnaissance to identify the current conditions and land use of the
site and adjoining properties. Visual evidence of prior uses of the site and adjoining
properties will be noted. The site reconnaissance will include a visual inspection of
the site surface, all building interiors, and the site perimeter.
• Research of historical land use within the subject site and vicinity. This would
include review of available historical aerial photographs, United States Geological
Survey (USGS) topographic maps, fire insurance maps, city directories, local
building department records, local planning department records, and other
reasonably ascertainable maps and data.

Perform a literature study to identify local and regional geological conditions as they
pertain to commenting of recognized environmental conditions for the site.
Conduct a search for environmental liens and activity and use limitations (AULs) on
the property. The proposed scope of work by Petra included herein is for one
Assessor Parcel Number (APN) of the city's choice. If the site consists of more than
one APN, and a request of more than one search for environmental liens and AULs
is made, additional costs will apply.
Obtain and review a database search of pertinent federal, state, and local regulatory
agency databases concerning environmental conditions on and in the vicinity of the
site. As specified in the ASTM and AAI standard the following databases will be
searched using, at a minimum, the recommended search radius:
Federal National Priority List (NPL) site list,
Federal Delisted NPL site list,

Phil Martin & Associates, Inc.
Page 17 of 34
Petra's scope of work does not include the following items.
Cursory visual examination of the site for the potential presence of asbestos
containing materials.
Cursory visual examination of the site for the potential presence of lead -based
paint.
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
TKE Engineering will prepare a hydrology report and Water Quality Management Plan
(WQMP) as a sub - consultant to Phil Martin & Associates. Phil Martin & Associates will
incorporate the hydrology and WQMP reports in the MND and attach the full reports in the
MND appendix.
Based on the applicant's grading plan, the hydrology /water quality analysis section will
summarize the information in the hydrology report in terms of the amount of surface water
runoff from the site, where the surface will be discharged from the site and the ability of the
local storm drain system to accept the quantity of surface water runoff. The Water Quality
Management Plan, including Best Management Practices (BMP's), will quantify the treated
surface water flow requirements and identify options for surface water treatment solutions
to mitigate potential water quality impacts as part of the City's requirement to fulfill
requirements for improving the quality of storm water discharges from Small Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) operators in accordance with Section 402(p) of the
Federal Clean Water Act (CWA). This section will identify the existing storm drain facilities
that serve the site along with the existing flood hazards that may affect the site, including
whether or not the site is in a 100 -year flood zone. This section will also evaluate potential
water quality impacts of the project.
Measures that are required to mitigate surface water quantity and quality impacts and
impacts will be presented as required to comply with CEQA.
Optional Studies— If the project applicant does not have a grading plan, as an option TKE
Engineering can prepare a site survey and grading plan in conjunction with the hydrology
report and WQMP. Working with the applicant the site will be surveyed and a contour map
produced. The site survey will be used to prepare a grading plan to determine the amount
of dirt that will have to be moved to allow construction of the site as proposed, including
any dirt import or export. The import or export of dirt will be important to calculate any air
emissions associated with the import or export of dirt to and from the site.
Land Use
The RFP states the project will require the following entitlements: a) General Plan
Amendment; b) Zone Change; c) Tentative Tract Map; and (d) a Design Review
Application. The Rosemead General Plan land use designation for the site is Commercial
B -17
Phil Martin & Associates, Inc.
Page 18 of 34
for the west half of the site and Medium Density Residential on the easterly half. The
existing zoning is C -3, (Medium Commercial) for the west half and R -2 (Light Multiple
Residential) for the eastern half. Thus, the project will require a general plan amendment
and zone change to Mixed -Use High Density Residential /Commercial.
The land use section will discuss the compatibility of the project with the adjacent
surrounding land use. This section will also analyze the potential impacts of the requested
entitlements and development standards with the existing surrounding land uses. This
section will compare development of the site consistent with the existing development
standards based on existing zoning and the Rosemead Municipal Code and compare that
development to the proposed development. Furthermore, this section will discuss in
general terms the effects of the proposed Municipal Code and General Plan Amendments
and how the development standards will impact other development in Rosemead with the
requested GPA and Municipal Code Amendment. When required, measures will be
recommended to reduce land use impacts to less than significant.
Noise
Giroux and Associates will prepare a noise and vibration assessment for the project as a
sub - consultant to Phil Martin & Associates. Phil Martin & Associates will summarize the
noise assessment and vibration assessment and attach the complete report in the MND
appendix.
The noise and vibration analysis 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
commercial operations.
• 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 Garvey Avenue and Del Mar Avenue traffic.
• 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.
• Discuss possible noise constraints from mixed commercial and residential uses on
the same parcel.
• 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
(Chapter 8.36). The City's noise standards will be summarized and their relevance
to the project discussed.
• Identify likely structural noise protection that will be needed to meet the building
code for multi - family units.
MW
Phil Martin & Associates, Inc.
Page 19 of 34
• Discuss potential vibration impacts to adjacent residents north of site during project
grading and construction.
• Summarize findings in a "stand- alone" draft noise and vibration technical report.
Mitigation measures to reduce potential noise and /or vibration impacts will be provided as
necessary to meet the City's Noise Ordinance and comply with CEQA.
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. The public services that will be analyzed include
police and fire protection, solid waste collection, water, wastewater, electricity, and natural
gas. Service letters will be sent to the public agencies to solicit their comments with
regards to impacts by the project on their respective service. Information will be provided
that identifies the size and location of the existing services /utilities that serve the site and
discuss if the existing facilities are adequate of if upgrades and improvements will be
required. For the existing utilities that will need to be upgraded or extended to serve the
project the MND will discuss potential impacts to extend or upgrade those utilities. When
required to comply with CEQA, mitigation measures will be recommended to reduce
potential impacts to less than significant.
Trans portation /Traffic
VA Consulting will prepare a traffic and circulation study forthe project as a sub - consultant
to Phil Martin & Associates. VA Consulting's traffic scope of work will be reviewed and
approved by the City prior to their start of the traffic study to ensure the traffic study
addresses all of the city's traffic and circulation concerns.
For the roadway capacity analysis the Los Angeles County Congestion Management
Program (CMP) TIA guidelines and procedures will be referenced. These guidelines have
been adopted by nearly all cities in Los Angeles County and must be followed to obtain
funds available from the sales tax on gasoline. As a result, the CMP TIA methodology will
be used for the traffic study for the proposed project. VA will conduct research with the
appropriate agencies to identify future planned roadway improvements, if any, that are
planned within the project study area. VA will obtain recently completed traffic impact
studies and information on other projects located in vicinity of the project, as applicable.
This task will also include a field review to inventory the existing intersection geometrics
and controls, the number of through travel lanes on roadways, pedestrian, bicycle, parking
and transit facilities, and existing land uses within the study area.
The project traffic generation will be based on the latest site plan and estimated using trip
generation rates identified in Trip Generation, 9th Edition, published by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE), or other appropriate sources. The project geographical trip
distribution will be based in accordance with the local and regional roadway /freeway
network characteristics.
The project is anticipated to generate approximately 1,950 weekday vehicle trips with 45
inbound and 70 outbound trips during the AM peak hour and 95 inbound and 70 outbound
B -19
Phil Martin & Associates, Inc.
Page 20 of 34
trips during the PM peak hour. A typical threshold for an off -site intersection to be included
in a traffic study is a location that receives a minimum of 50 peak hour project trips. Based
on a preliminary trip distribution, several off -site intersections surrounding the project are
anticipated to meet this 50 -trip threshold and are included in the study for analysis. Other
intersections chosen for analysis in this study do not meet the 50 trip peak hour threshold,
but are included in the study to demonstrate the lack of significant impact due to the
project. No additional potential study intersections are considered at this time. Should the
City request additional study area intersections be included in the traffic study there will be
additional costs for the data collection, analysis, and report preparation.
The seven (7) off -site study intersections that are included in the traffic analysis include:
• Del Mar Avenue at Hellman Avenue (signalized);
• Del Mar Avenue at Emerson Avenue (signalized);
• Del Mar Avenue at Garvey Avenue (signalized);
• Del Mar Avenue at Highcliff Street (signalized);
• Garvey Avenue at Jackson Avenue (signalized);
• Garvey Avenue at Brighton Street (2 -way stop control); and
• Garvey Avenue at Kelburn Avenue (signalized).
Traffic Volume Data Collection
VA will collect existing weekday traffic data for the study area. Seven (7) weekday AM /PM
peak hour turning movement counts will also be conducted at the seven study intersections
listed above.
Weekday 24 -hour volume counts will be conducted at up to six (6) roadway segment
locations between the study area intersections. No weekend traffic data counts are
included as part of this analysis. If the city requires additional counts or other specialty
traffic data collection in addition to the above intersections and roadway segments
additional costs will be required.
Traffic Projections
Once the existing traffic volume data is collected a growth factor will be applied to the
existing traffic volumes to consider ambient traffic growth for the future baseline year. The
baseline year will be the estimated project completion year. The traffic generation of the
apartment project will be estimated using trip generation rates identified in Trip Generation,
9th Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), or other
appropriate source. Future year scenario analysis will use agency forecast model volumes,
if available. The traffic analysis will assume the project will be constructed in a single
phase.
Level of Service Analysis
The 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) signalized /unsignalized intersection analysis
method and /or the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) method in accordance with
I:. e
Phil Martin & Associates, Inc.
Page 21 of 34
City /County guidelines and parameters to determine intersection level of service (LOS) will
be used at the study area intersections. The target level of service will be as confirmed by
the City /County. Roadway level of service will be based on volume -to- capacity (V /C)
analysis. Level of service analysis will be performed for the following six (6) scenarios for
the study are intersections:
• Existing volumes;
• Existing volumes plus Project;
• Existing volumes plus Project with mitigation (if necessary);
• Baseline (Project Year) volumes;
• Baseline plus Project (Project Year) volumes; and
• Baseline plus Project (Project Year) volumes with mitigation (if necessary).
If necessary to mitigate project traffic impacts, capacity enhancements will be identified
and analyzed in terms of feasibility and cost to maintain the required level of service.
Additional Specific Analyses
The traffic study will also include analyses such as geometric configuration /striping
alternatives, signal warrant analysis, queuing analysis, sight distance analysis, on -site
circulation, and emergency vehicle access.
Report Preparation
VA will prepare a summary report including all tables, figures, and text as required to
document the study methodologies, conclusions, and recommendations. The report will
include all LOS, volume -to- capacity, traffic data, and all other appropriate back -up
calculations in the appendix. The traffic study will be submitted to the city for review and
VA will incorporate city comments.
Measures to mitigated project traffic and circulation impacts will be recommended when
required to meet city level of service requirements and CEQA.
Cumulative Impacts
Per CEQA Guidelines Section 15355 this section will provide a discussion of the potential
environmental effects that could occur with development of the project in conjunction with
other planned and entitled projects in the area, including the compounding of cumulative
project impacts. Cumulative project information will be obtained from City staff and include
projects that have been entitled but not constructed, projects that are not entitled, but in the
planning process, and reasonably foreseeable future projects. The cities adjacent to
Rosemead will be contacted to identify any projects within their jurisdiction that should be
included in the cumulative impact analysis. A map will be prepared to show the location of
the cumulative projects. When required by CEQA, mitigation measures will be
recommended to mitigate any cumulative project impacts.

a minimum financial size Vll.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Consultant. Consultant
and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Consultant:
1. Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability
coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials,
employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an
edition prior to 1992. Consultant also agrees to require all contractors, and
subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit
Consultant, or Consultant's employees, or agents, from waiving the right of
subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive subrogation rights against
City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all
contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable
to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing
contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its
operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been
first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to
eliminate so- called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily
injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and
additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall not make
any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or
reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior
written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of
insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured
endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or
D -27
Phil Martin & Associates, Inc.
Page 28 of 34
prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is
not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time
and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to
obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any
other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be
charged to and promptly paid by Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant,
at City option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any
cancellation of coverage. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify such
certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to
mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will
"endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the
certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first
and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self
insurance available to City.
10. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with
the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the
same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to
monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring
that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section.
Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others
engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Consultant agrees not to self- insure or to use any self- insured retentions or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that
it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or
person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated
by this agreement to self- insure its obligations to City. If Consultant's existing
coverage includes a deductible or self- insured retention, the deductible or self -
insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review
options with the Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the
deductible or selfinsured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the
amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days
advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to the Consultant, the City will negotiate additional compensation
proportional to the increased benefit to City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed
to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can
be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
M

14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part
of City to inform Consultant of non - compliance with any insurance requirement in no
way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights
hereunder in this or any other regard.
15.Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this
agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or
terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City
executes a written statement to that effect.
16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring
during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other
policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been
ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from
Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance
and /or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable
to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the
expiration of the coverages.
17.The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Consultant under this agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not to
use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its
employees, officials and agents.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are
not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver
of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given
coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue,
and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all- inclusive.
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any
other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be
interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this
Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs
the provisions of this Section.
21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party
involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Consultant
for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such
provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to
reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There
shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with
respect thereto.
Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against

Proposal To Prepare Mitigated Negative Declaration — February 19, 2013
a. Kick -off Meeting
Upon authorization to proceed and signature of a contract, Phil Martin will meet with City staff and
the project applicant to discuss the project in detail, develop a schedule to complete the MND and
obtain the documents requested in this proposal to begin preparation of the MND. We will also
discuss a traffic scope of work with the City's traffic engineer and the traffic consultant to ensure the
traffic consultant adequately addresses all City traffic and circulation issues associated with the
project.
b. Preparation of Mitigated Negative Declaration
Immediately after the kick -off meeting Phil Martin & Associates will begin preparation of the
Mitigated Negative Declaration. Phil Martin & Associates will prepare the MND to comply with the
2013 CEQA Guidelines, as amended. The MND will include the following tasks:
Aesthetics
The City of Rosemead General Plan does not identify any designated scenic resources on the site
and the State does not have any adopted scenic state highways adjacent to or close proximity to the
site. Thus, this section will focus on and analyze the potential aesthetic impacts of the project on
the land uses adjacent to and surrounding the site. The existing aesthetic characteristics of the site
and surrounding land uses will be described, including the residences of the mobile home parks west
and north of the site. 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 an analysis of the potential aesthetic impacts of the project due to the
proposed development. Phil Martin & Associates will prepare two photo - simulations of the project
as seen from Garvey Avenue and Del Mar Avenue. The photo - simulations will show the site if
developed as proposed. The level of detail of the photo - simulations will be based on the detail of
information provided by the project architect.
This section will include building elevations showing the architecture, design, and color scheme of
the proposed building as seen from all four sides including Garvey Avenue, Del Mar Avenue,
Brighton Street and the residences north of the site. If available, a landscape plan showing the
proposed plantings and handscape materials of the project will also be provided. The aesthetic
section of the MND will compare the architecture, design, and landscape plans to any applicable
City design guidelines.
A photometric study will be provided by OMB Electrical to determine the potential lighting impacts
of the project to adjacent residents north of the site and motorists on Garvey Avenue and Del Mar
Avenue. The photometric study will show the lumens on the properties adjacent to the site to
determine if project lighting would impact adjacent residents. Site specific lighting information
including light manufacturers, light model numbers, light locations, height, lumens, etc. will be
requested from the architect in order to provide a meaningful photometric analysis.
City of Rosemead — Mixed Use Project Page 6
Proposal To Prepare Mitigated Negative Declaration — Febmary 19, 2013
If potential aesthetic impacts are identified, measures to mitigate potential aesthetic impacts will be
recommended in conjunction with recommendations of city staff and the project developer.
Air Quality
Giroux and Associates will prepare an air quality analysis and greenhouse gas emission calculations
as a sub - consultant to Phil Martin & Associates. Phil Martin & Associates will s ummariz e the air
quality and greenhouse gas emission reports in the MND and attach the full documents in the MND
appendix.
The air quality report will include the following information:
• Provide an air quality setting based upon SCAQMD monitoring data from the Pico Rivera
air monitoring station.
• Calculate temporary construction activity emissions (demolition, grading & construction)
using procedures identified in the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook (1993) and
incorporated into the CaIEEMod computer model.
• Calculate regional vehicular emissions using the currently recommended CalEEMod
computer model.
• Evaluate the potential for micro -scale air pollution "hotspot" formation relative to
surrounding emissions sources. Discuss project proximity to emissions sources from
adjacent commercial uses (laundromats, fast food and sit -down restaurants, etc.).
• Analyze possible air quality issues between subterranean parking and on -site residential use.
• Discuss project consistency with the South Coast Air Basin Regional Air Quality
Management Plan in terms of land use planning consistency.
• Identify any potentially 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 significance.
City of Rosemead —Mixed Use Project Page 7
Proposal To Prepare Mitigated Negative Deda scion — February 19, 2013
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.
Greenhouse Gas Assessment
Giroux and 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.
S the base year GHG emissions inventory for Rosemead 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
CalEEMod computer model GHG module.
• Based upon the relative roles of transportation and non - transportation emissions
projections, identify mitigation potential that might reduce the gap between AB -32 goals
versus programs that are already in place (CAFE, LCFS, energy efficiency, etc.).
• Determine GHG impact significance after application of available mitigation measures.
Geology and Soils
A preliminary geotechnical report will be prepared by Petra Geotechnical as a sub - consultant to Phil
Martin & Associates. The geotechnical report will be summarized in the MND and the full
geotechnical report included in the MND appendix. Petra's scope of work will include the following
tasks:
• Review conceptual plans and project data available at the time of the study.
• Perform a detailed reconnaissance of the surface conditions within the parcels that comprise
the current area of study.
• Research and review available published maps and literature pertaining to local geologic,
seismic and groundwater conditions.
• Research and review consultant reports on file with Petra and the City of Rosemead that
pertain to local subsurface geologic conditions within and in the area of the subject site.
Such background information would include available design- and construction -phase
geotechnical reports related to the site and other nearby development projects.
• Perform appropriate geotechnical analysis of the compiled data and include assessing each of
the geotechnical constraints identified during the studies listed above and preparing a set of
significance criteria. Typical geotechnical constraints that would be considered as factors
with regard to the report will include the presence of active faulting within the area of study,
soil compressibility, liquefaction susceptibility and potential total and differential settlement
due to seismic (i.e., liquefaction and dynamic compaction of dry soils) and static conditions,
and foundation design constraints, among other issues.
City of Rosemead —Mixed Use Project Page 8
Proposal To Prepare Mitigated Negative Declaration — February 19, 2013
• Prepare a feasibility -level geotechnical report presenting the results of the assessment of
geotechnical factors that may be of significance with respect to implementation of the
project.
• In general, our report will include the following:
• A description of the existing geologic setting within and adjacent to the study area.
• A summary of the significance criteria as established by the City's adopted CEQA
guidelines.
• A discussion of geotechnical issues that may potentially impact the proposed
development and the relative level of significance of each issue.
• A preliminary discussion of mitigation measures that may be implemented, if required, to
reduce the impact of geotechnical issues to a less than significant or insignificant level.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Petra Geotechnical will prepare a Phase I ESA as a sub - consultant to Phil Martin & Associates. The
Phase I ESA will be summarized in the MND and the full report will be attached in the MND
appendix. Petra will conduct an environmental site assessment in accordance with ASTM Standard
E 1527 -05 and the EPA's All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) regulations (40 CFR Part 312) to identify
the presence or likely presence of recognized environmental conditions at the site and include the
following tasks.
• Perform a site reconnaissance to identify the current conditions and land use of the site and
adjoining properties. Visual evidence of prior uses of the site and adjoining properties will
be noted. The site reconnaissance will include a visual inspection of the site surface, all
building interiors, and the site perimeter.
• Research of historical land use within the subject site and vicinity. This would include
review of available historical aerial photographs, United States Geological Survey (USGS)
topographic maps, fire insurance maps, city directories, local building department records,
local planning department records, and other reasonably ascertainable maps and data.
• Perform a literature study to identify local and regional geological conditions as they pertain
to commenting of recognized environmental conditions for the site.
• Conduct a search for environmental liens and activity and use limitations (AULs) on the
property. The proposed scope of work by Petra included herein is for one Assessor Parcel
Number (APN) of the city's choice. If the site consists of more than one APN, and a
request of more than one search for environmental liens and AULs is made, additional costs
will apply.
• Obtain and review a database search of pertinent federal, state, and local regulatory agency
databases concerning environmental conditions on and in the vicinity of the site. As
specified in the ASTM and AAI standard the following databases will be searched using, at a
minitnum, the recommended search radius:

included with the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment.
• Contact and interview knowledgeable persons, such as property owners, managers, and
representatives of local government agencies regarding historical site use and current site
conditions, if possible.
• Evaluate the presence of recognized environmental conditions at the site through visual
observation and research of reasonably ascertainable records. Recognized environmental
conditions may include the presence of hazardous materials, petroleum products,
underground fuel storage tanks, above ground fuel storage tanks, drums, chemical
containers, polychlorinated biphenyls, liquid or solid wastes, oil wells, and areas indicative of
potential contamination including stained soils and /or pavement, stressed vegetation, drains,
sumps, pits, ponds, lagoons, odors, and septic systems.
• Prepare a report presenting the results of Petra's investigation. The report will contain, but
not be limited to, the following information:
• Site location, regional setting, and a vicinity map identifying the subject site.
• A description of the current site physical conditions and use of adjacent sites, which
includes a discussion of observations made during the reconnaissance of the site.
• A description of the local and regional geological conditions
• A discussion of the interpretation of historic resources reviewed.
• A list of all sites identified in the government database search and a discussion of those
sites which are considered to have a potential to have impacted the soils and /or
groundwater beneath the site.
• A discussion of the presence of recognized environmental conditions identified at the
site.
• Color photographs of the site and the vicinity.
• A reference to the reviewed literature concerning the site and vicinity.
• Conclusions regarding the likelihood of site soil and groundwater contamination as a
result of current or previous on -site activities, or from off site sources.
City of Rosemead— Mixed Use Project Page 10
Proposal To Prepare Mitigated Negative Declaration — February 19, 2013
Petra's scope of work does not include the following items.
• Cursory visual examination of the site for the potential presence of asbestos containing
materials.
• Cursory visual examination of the site for the potential presence of lead -based paint.
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
TKE Engineering will prepare a hydrology report and Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) as
a sub - consultant to Phil Martin & Associates. Phil Martin & Associates will incorporate the
hydrology and WQMP reports in the MND and attach the full reports in the MND appendix.
Based on the applicant's grading plan, the hydrology /water quality analysis section will summarize
the information in the hydrology report in terms of the amount of surface water runoff from the
site, where the surface will be discharged from the site and the ability of the local storm drain system
to accept the quantity of surface water runoff. The Water Quality Management Plan, including Best
Management Practices (BMP's), will quantify the treated surface water flow requirements and
identify options for surface water treatment solutions to mitigate potential water quality impacts as
part of the City's requirement to fulfill requirements for improving the quality of storm water
discharges from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) operators in accordance with
Section 402(p) of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA). This section will identify the existing storm
drain facilities that serve the site along with the existing flood hazards that may affect the site,
including whether or not the site is in a 100-year flood zone. This section will also evaluate potential
water quality impacts of the project.
Measures that are required to mitigate surface water quantity and quality impacts and impacts will be
presented as required to comply with CEQA.
Optonal Studies — If the project applicant does not have a grading plan, as an option TKE
Engineering can prepare a site survey and grading plan in conjunction with the hydrology report and
WQMP. Working with the applicant the site will be surveyed and a contour map produced. The
site survey will be used to prepare a grading plan to determine the amount of dirt that will have to be
moved to allow construction of the site as proposed, including any dirt import or export. The
import or export of dirt will be important to calculate any air emissions associated with the import
or export of dirt to and from the site.
Land Use
The RFP states the project will require the following entitlements: a) General Plan Amendment; b)
Zone Change; c) Tentative Tract Map; and (d) a Design Review Application. The Rosemead
General Plan land use designation for the site is Commercial for the west half of the site and
Medium Density Residential on the easterly half The existing zoning is C -3, (Medium Commercial)
for the west half and R -2 (Light Multiple Residential) for the eastern half Thus, the project will
City of Rosemead — Mixed Use Project Page 11
Proposal To Prepare Mitigated Negative Declaration — February 19, 2013
require a general plan amendment and zone change to Mixed -Use High Density
Residential /Commercial.
The land use section will discuss the compatibility of the project with the adjacent surrounding land
use. This section will also analyze the potential impacts of the requested entitlements and
development standards with the existing surrounding land uses. This section will compare
development of the site consistent with the existing development standards based on existing zoning
and the Rosemead Municipal Code and compare that development to the proposed development.
Furthermore, this section will discuss in general terms the effects of the proposed Municipal Code
and General Plan Amendments and how the development standards will impact other development
in Rosemead with the requested GPA and Municipal Code Amendment. When required, measures
will be recommended to reduce land use impacts to less than significant.
Noise
Giroux and Associates will prepare a noise and vibration assessment for the project as a sub -
consultant to Phil Martin & Associates. Phil Martin & Associates will summarize the noise
assessment and vibration assessment and attach the complete report in the MND appendix.
The noise and vibration analysis 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
commercial operations.
• 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 Garvey Avenue and Del Mar Avenue traffic.
• 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.
• Discuss possible noise constraints from mixed commercial and residential uses on the same
parcel.
• 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 (Chapter 8.36).
The City's noise standards will be summarized and their relevance to the project discussed.
• Identify likely structural noise protection that will be needed to meet the building code for
multi family units.
• Discuss potential vibration impacts to adjacent residents north of site during project grading
and construction.
• Summarize findings in a "stand- alone" draft noise and vibration technical report.
Mitigation measures to reduce potential noise and /or vibration impacts will be provided as necessary
to meet the City's Noise Ordinance and comply with CEQA.
City of Rosemead — Mixed Use Project Page 12
Proposal 'to Prepare Mitigated Negative Declaration— February 19, 2013
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. The public services that will be analyzed include police and fire
protection, solid waste collection, water, wastewater, electricity, and natural gas. Service letters will
be sent to the public agencies to solicit their comments with regards to impacts by the project on
their respective service. Information will be provided that identifies the size and location of the
existing services /utilities that serve the site and discuss if the existing facilities are adequate of if
upgrades and improvements will be requited. For the existing utilities that will need to be upgraded
or extended to serve the project the MND will discuss potential impacts to extend or upgrade those
utilities. When required to comply with CEQA, mitigation measures will be recommended to
reduce potential impacts to less than significant.
Transportation /Traffic
VA Consulting will prepare a traffic and circulation study for the project as a sub - consultant to Phil
Martin & Associates. VA Consulting's traffic scope of work will be reviewed and approved by the
City prior to their start of the traffic study to ensure the traffic study addresses all of the city's traffic
and circulation concerns.
For the roadway capacity analysis the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program (CMP)
TIA guidelines and procedures will be referenced. These guidelines have been adopted by nearly all
cities in Los Angeles County and must be followed to obtain funds available from the sales tax on
gasoline. As a result, the CMP TIA methodology will be used for the traffic study for the proposed
project. VA will conduct research with the appropriate agencies to identify future planned roadway
improvements, if any, that are planned within the project study area. VA will obtain recently
completed traffic impact studies and information on other projects located in vicinity of the project,
as applicable. This task will also include a field review to inventory the existing intersection
geometrics and controls, the number of through travel lanes on roadways, pedestrian, bicycle,
parking and transit facilities, and existing land uses within the study area.
The project traffic generation will be based on the latest site plan and estimated using trip generation
rates identified in Trip Generation, 9th Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE), or other appropriate sources. The project geographical trip distribution will be
based in accordance with the local and regional roadway/ freeway network characteristics.
The project is anticipated to generate approximately 1,950 weekday vehicle trips with 45 inbound
and 70 outbound trips during the AM peak hour and 95 inbound and 70 outbound trips during the
PM peak hour. A typical threshold for an off -site intersection to be included in a traffic study is a
location that receives a minim of 50 peak hour project trips. Based on a preliminary trip
distribution, several off -site intersections surrounding the project are anticipated to meet this 50 -trip
threshold and are included in the study for analysis. Other intersections chosen for analysis in this
study do not meet the 50 trip peak hour threshold, but are included in the study to demonstrate the
lack of significant impact due to the project. No additional potential study intersections are
considered at this time. Should the City request additional study area intersections be included in
the traffic study there will be additional costs for the data collection, analysis, and report preparation.
City of Rosemead —Mixed Use Project Page 13
Proposal To Prepare Mitigated Negative Declaration — February 19, 2013
The seven (7) off -site study intersections that are included in the traffic analysis include:
• Del Mat Avenue at Hellman Avenue (signalized);
• Del Mar Avenue at Emerson Avenue (signalized);
• Del Mar Avenue at Garvey Avenue (signalized);
• Del Mar Avenue at Highcliff Street (signalized);
• Garvey Avenue at Jackson Avenue (signalized);
• Garvey Avenue at Brighton Street (2 -way stop control); and
• Garvey Avenue at Kelburn Avenue (signalized).
Traffic Volume Data Collection
VA will collect existing weekday traffic data for the study area. Seven (7) weekday AM /PM peak
hour turning movement counts will also be conducted at the seven study intersections listed above.
Weekday 24 -hour volume counts will be conducted at up to six (6) roadway segment locations
between the study area intersections. No weekend traffic data counts are included as part of this
analysis. If the city requires additional counts or other specialty traffic data collection in addition to
the above intersections and roadway segments additional costs will be required.
Traffic Projections
Once the existing traffic volume data is collected a growth factor will be applied to the existing
traffic volumes to consider ambient traffic growth for the future baseline year. The baseline year
will be the estimated project completion year. The traffic generation of the apartment project will be
estimated using trip generation rates identified in Trip Generation, 9th Edition, published by the
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), or other appropriate source. Future year scenario
analysis will use agency forecast model volumes, if available. The traffic analysis will assume the
project will be constructed in a single phase.
Level of Service Analysis
The 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) signalized /unsignalized intersection analysis method
and /or the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) method in accordance with City /County
guidelines and parameters to determine intersection level of service (LOS) will be used at the study
area intersections. The target level of service will be as confirmed by the City /County. Roadway
level of service will be based on volume -to- capacity (V /C) analysis. Level of service analysis will be
performed for the following six (6) scenarios for the study are intersections:
• Existing volumes;
• Existing volumes plus Project;
• Existing volumes plus Project with mitigation (if necessary);
• Baseline (Project Year) volumes;
• Baseline plus Project (Project Year) volumes; and
• Baseline plus Project (Project Year) volumes with mitigation (if necessary).
City of Rosemead —Mixed Use Project Page 14
Proposal To Prepare Mitigated Negative Declaration — February 19, 2013
If necessary to mitigate project traffic impacts, capacity enhancements will be identified and analyzed
in terms of feasibility and cost to maintain the required level of service.
Additional SpeeifcAnalyses
The traffic study will also include analyses such as geometric configuration /striping alternatives,
signal warrant analysis, queuing analysis, sight distance analysis, on -site circulation, and emergency
vehicle access.
Deport Preparation
VA will prepare a summary report including all tables, figures, and text as required to document the
study methodologies, conclusions, and recommendations. The report will include all LOS, volume -
to- capacity, traffic data, and all other appropriate back -up calculations in the appendix. The traffic
study will be submitted to the city for review and VA will incorporate city comments.
Measures to mitigated project traffic and circulation impacts will be recommended when required to
meet city level of service requirements and CEQA.
Cumulative Impacts
Per CEQA Guidelines Section 15355 this section will provide a discussion of the potential
environmental effects that could occur with development of the project in conjunction with other
planned and entitled projects in the area, including the compounding of cumulative project impacts.
Cumulative project information will be obtained from City staff and include projects that have been
entitled but not constructed, projects that are not entitled, but in the planning process, and
reasonably foreseeable future projects. The cities adjacent to Rosemead will be contacted to identify
any projects within their jurisdiction that should be included in the cumulative impact analysis. A
map will be prepared to show the location of the cumulative projects. When required by CEQA,
mitigation measures will be recommended to mitigate any cumulative project impacts.

the dynamics of internal trip reduction for a multi -use commercial and
residential site. Level of service analysis was performed for 24 study
intersections using the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) Method for
signalized and unsignalized intersections. Mitigation measures were identified
for off -site intersections to meet agency specified level of service criteria.
Traffic signal warrant analysis was also performed for each intersection to
determine if signalization is required by forecast project traffic volumes. The
study included a build out analysis of the off -site circulation system and
identified the project fair share cost of the improvements required at each
intersection.
