To see the progress and action towards implementation of the general plan, strategic plan and corridor Master plan, and subsequent capital improvements, is very invigorating and inspiring and our team would really like to be pan of the process! PMC is pleased to present this proposal in response to the Request for Proposals for the Garvey Avenue Corridor Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report. PMC has a great deal of experience with corridor revitalization and in particular the land use and urban design elements of a well designed, economically successful street. Additionally, the PMC team members selected for this project, have personal knowledge of the resources that make this corridor such a wonderful opportunity for its visitors, residents, and business owners. Our staff knows the Garvey Avenue corridor and understands many of the issues. We have assembled a unique project team to achieve the City's desires for the Garvey Avenue Specific Plan. The team is led by project manager and Specific Plan task lead Loreli Cappel, PMC's manager of Urban Revitalization and Design services, as well as John Bellas, our EIR task lead and local expert. Pam Johns, our principal in charge of Planning, Design, and Facilitation Services will oversee this exciting project. This team is passionate about this work and available immediately to begin. Our team provides a balance of local experience, California experience, and experience across the nation and throughout the world; a balance of city/corridor knowledge with fresh perspectives and new ideas; and a balance of technical experts and land use visionaries. It is this balance that gives the PMC team the ability not just develop a plan for Garvey Avenue, but to develop a meaningful plan that can and will be implemented. The PMC team consists of • PMC: Specific Planning, Community Outreach, Municipal Finance, and EIR • Jerde Partnership: Opportunity Site Design/Architecture • KOA Corporation: Circulation • Huitt- Zollars: Infrastructure • Mestre Greve Associates: Noise Study • ISI Translation: Language Translation • Thomas Consultants: Retail and Market Strategies i562i 200 -7165 • F. (562) 200 -7166 Gloria Molleda, City Clerk February 27, 2014 Our revitalization philosophy is that land use plans, streetscape, and urban design concepts in corridors must support the civic and retail realm. Corridor plans are not a "one size fits all" approach to be applied as a simple blueprint or recipe for success. Through our understanding of the project and of the City, we believe that to be successful this project will require a thoughtful and holistic approach. Context is the important metric for determining how Garvey Avenue's urban design elements should emerge. Our team of professionals has the experience to accomplish this. No single architect, planner, engineer, or development economist can achieve the results required to envision and design this critical piece of Rosemead's urban fabric. We understand that effective corridor revitalization takes a collaborative effort among these disciplines, as well as a critical ear tuned to the desires of the community and the property owners. We believe that our approach to this project meets the City's objectives for the corridor. We bring a sophisticated yet pragmatic approach to design and planning by employing the most current standards and practices. Because of our staffs previous working experience in the City, our knowledge of the area provides us an advanced understanding of the critical elements and existing issues within these areas. Our experience with writing, designing and implementing numerous publicly initiated Specific, Master, and Design Plans ensures that the resulting urban design elements will be supported by the City, public and property/shop owners. Thank you for this opportunity to present our team. We would really like to work with you and the City of Rosemead on this important increment in the revitalization of your City.

Rosamond is a rural community in need of some revitalization and basic streetscape improvements, and its citizens enthusiastically participated in a day -long visioning charrede during the first phase of this project. The charrede included a walking tour with PMC urban design experts, in addition to electronic polling on key issues, key word visioning exercises, and small group mapping activities. Extensive media outreach was conducted in advance of the meeting, resulting in thorough coverage by three media outlets. Following phases of the project included a prioritization workshop, the completion of the Vision Plan, and the development of a signature Rosamond Business District Vision Poster which was presented to the Kern County Board of Supervisors. East Bakersfield (2012) PMC prepared a Vision Plan for the community of East Bakersfield. A two -day charretre -style community workshop provided the foundation for the Vision Plan. Approximately 150 participants joined in on mapping exercises, a vision key word activity, live polling surveys of design preferences, preliminary design work, and activities to prioritize County- and community-led projects.

The City of Santa Rosa selected PMC to lead the project for the North Santa Rasa Station Area Specific Plan, funded by a grant awarded by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. The plan will support the future SMART station by outlining strategies to establish a transit - supportive environment by improving connections between the station and adjacent destinations, densifying and intensifying land uses at key locations within the project area, and enhancing the physical design of the urban environment. While much of the existing area is developed, a few large, vacant parcels in the project area afford unique opportunities for transit - supportive development. The planning effort focused on evaluating existing and potential land uses, analyzing circulation and infrastructure conditions, and developing land use regulations, implementation strategies, and design guidelines to encourage appropriate transit- oriented development within the project area. Components of the project included a Market demand analysis, Land use alternatives analysis, Station access and connectivity plan, Parking demand analysis, Pedestrian - friendly design standards, Infrastructure development and financing strategy, Implementation plan. and Community involvement strategy. North Downtown Specific Plan, City of Compton, CA PMC was selected by the City of Compton to prepare a Specific Plan for the North Downtown area, an aging district of commercial, light- industrial, and residential uses adjacent to a regional light -rail transit station. The Specific Plan envisions redeveloping the project area into a transit- oriented mixed -use neighborhood. The renovated light -rail station would serve as hub for this new community, providing immediate access to shopping, entertainment venues, the City of Compton civic center, and several new multi - family residential developments. To facilitate this vision becoming reality, the plan proposes reinstating the planning area's historic street grid, removing incompatible light- industrial uses (primarily auto - oriented) within the project area, and easing the North Downtown area's parking requirements. These changes encourage pedestrian activity, stimulate commercial development, and make the planning area a more livable place.

Currently, the Garvey Avenue corridor is developed with a variety of mostly commercial uses ranging from vehicle- oriented shopping centers to dated sidewalk storefronts to auto- and construction - related businesses. The building stock along Garvey Avenue consists primarily of one- and two -story structures built between the 1950s and modern day. The area lacks a distinctive architectural character and design cohesiveness and some properties have fallen into disrepair and /or are experiencing deferred maintenance. On December 10, 2013, the Rosemead City Council authorized City stag to solicit proposals for the preparation of a Garvey Avenue Corridor Specific Plan and appointed the Garvey Avenue Corridor Sub - Committee. The Specific Plan will help to implement a variety of goal and policies of the City's General Plan, including: • General Plan Land Use Element, Citywide Issue 3: Preserving and encouraging a variety of commercial and industrial activities. • General Plan Action 2.1: Prepare a specific plan, development standards, and/or design guidelines to plan for future development and for both private and public realm design features in the High Intensity Commercial areas. The objectives of the Specific Plan include providing a vision and policy framework for the Garvey Avenue corridor; providing regulatory mechanisms to facilitate the recycling of property with high quality development; developing infrastructure programming and financing solutions to alleviate development constraints; and leveraging opportunity sites as a catalyst for positive change. To that end, the City's Garvey Avenue Master Plan, adopted in August 2012, identifies 10 opportunity sites along the study corridor. The most significant opportunity site is the former Los Angeles Dealer Auto Auction property, which is 15.6 acres in site and occupied by an abandoned structure surrounded by an extensive surface parking lot. The designation of this site as a High Intensity Commercial Area, and the presence of additional nearby opportunity sites, including a 4.4 -acre site at the corner of Garvey Avenue and San Gabriel Boulevard, make this location particularly attractive to development interests. PMC knows the Garvey Avenue corridor, understands the issues, and has assembled a unique project team to achieve the City's desires for the Garvey Avenue Specific Plan.

Typical Storefront Commercial Uses on Garvey Avenue Lacking Architectural Character Example of Newer Auto - Oriented Commercial Uses along Garvey Avenue Example of Older Commercial Properties along Garvey Avenue Experiencing Deferred Maintenance The Former Los Angeles Deahh Auto Auction Site is a Major Opportunity for the City Project Approach The elements of the PMC approach to planning and land use strategies for the Garvey Avenue Corridor Specific Plan are listed below. #1 Meaningful Public Input PMC believes that meaningful public input is more than a few community meetings. Rather, it is working hand -in -hand with the community to develop a vision and a roadmap to achieving that vision that can be supported by a broad cross - section of community members. We understand that this type of support will only result from a planning process that genuinely asks for, listens, and responds to community input. Our public participation process is designed to provide multiple methods, venues, and times to work collaboratively with the community on the Corridor Specific Plan. We will speak one -on -one with stakeholders through interviews. We'll visit with community members where they live, work, and recreate through intercept surveys. We'll provide ample information online and in languages other than English to keep the community up to date on the planning process. We will provide fun and engaging ommunity design charredes where community members can work side -hy -si with our team to plan for the future of the project area. #2 Going Beyond Land Use Plans — Developing Opportunity Site Design Concepts Successful land use planning starts with a shared vision that guides planning and implementation for years to come. Land use plans and policies only go so far; design concepts go farther. Born from collaboration, economic and social realities, and ample community input, the opportunity site design concepts are an illustration of the proposed uses of development types and public improvements. This product is a critical piece of the public dialogue for the area. The opportunity site design concepts will demonstrate the uses, development patterns, and the conceptual site plans proposed for the corridor, giving the community a chance to direct what they feel is the appropriate look and feel for the project area The ability to provide a single product that encapsulates the community's shared vision is pivotal to a successful planning process. #3 It's All About Placemaking Our approach will be on placemaking— creating an attractive, well - defined environment with an accent on quality of life and sense of place. This plan will guide both public and private development consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and Garvey Avenue Master Plan. Inspiring quality development, complementary land uses, attractive streetscapes, and community amenities are the basic ingredients of our Corridor Specific Plan approach. These elements will be informed by technical studies, field inventory, and ample community outreach focused on community preferences and corridor identity. Prolednnde•slanding.

Task 3 Public Outreach, Meetings and Sub - Committee 3.1 Community Outreach Strategy. At the project kickoff meeting, PMC will conduct an outreach assessment, which includes a staff discussion/survey of past community engagement areas,. successes, and lessons learned. Based on the input received, PMC will develop an outreach strategy for staff review and discussion that will include details regarding all of the items further outlined in Task 3. Our team views public outreach and facilitation as a partnership between PMC, our clients, and the communities they serve and our expertise lies in helping our clients actively listen to the community and translating that information into clear actions. We design unique, effective, and award - winning public participation programs to meet the specific needs of our clients. The community outreach strategy will be designed to actively solicit input and involvement by staff, decision- makers, the sub- committee, a diverse cross - section of residents, local businesses, landowners, environmental groups, community service providers, affordable ousing developers, and advocates during each phase of the project. A sp ial effort will be made to identity and solicit involvement from untlerreprese ted members of the community. 3.2 Stakeholder Interviews. Ph C will interview up to 10 key stakeholders over the Task 3.2 Deliverables: phone or in person to coincide Nith the project kickoff party or initial site visit. The Stakeholder interviews (up to 10) interviews will inquire about r eject area issues, assets, and opportunities. The and findings summary. stakeholder list can be develol ed in collaboration with staff and is envisioned to be in addition to the sub -corn flee members. 3 -6 1 Proposal for the Ciry of Rosemead 3.3 Translation Services (ISI Translation). Our team is well versed in outreach Task 3.3 Deliverables: techniques for a variety of population types and partners frequently with ISI Multilingual translation for Translation to provide both written and live translation services for PMC on a multitude of projects. Services will include but not be limited to translating workshop flyers, project fact collateral for print and web as well as live event translation, to include but not sheet, web info, and live event limited to the following languages as determined appropriate by staff: Spanish, translation in up to four Vietnamese, Cantonese, and Mandarin. Our scope assumes translators for 4 languages at up to 3 community events, as well as translation of a project languages. informatiorVfact sheet, event flyers, and a website summary for each language. Additional languages can be added for an additional fee as well as translation headset rentals for community events if so desired by the client. Presenter transmitters are $50 per language and attendee headsets are $40 per person. 3.4 Project Klekoff Party. PMC will host a party to celebrate the project initiation. Task 3.4 Deliverables: Hosted The event could be held on the corridor, at an existing vacant commercial space, a community park, or another public area. At this event we will share project event to include promotional information, gather preliminary ideas through interactive activities and games, and material, project fact sheet, live share fun giveaways. PMC proposes the development of a simple one -page print- translation, exercises and ready fact sheet that can be distributed at this and all future outreach events. Details of the event will be discussed with staff and a specific event approach will activities, and giveaways be crafted at least one month prior to the event. The purpose of this event will be to • Introduce the community to the project and provide an overview of the project's purpose and process. • Gather input on the community's "big ideas" for the future of the corridor and opportunity sites. • Gather input from the community on existing priorities, issues, and concerns. • Engage in exercises to begin identifying areas of stability and areas of potential change. • Begin the Specific Plan process with an exciting event that will encourage continued public participation. Activity ideas for this exciting event may include, but not be limited to, the following: Activity Idea #1: As a warm -up, participants may be given a sticker with well - known community landmarks and businesses. The sticker will be placed on each person's back without them seeing it. They will need to ask the person next to them yes or no questions until they can guess what is listed on their sticker. Activity Idea #2: Public Art Wall Activity (PMC and City stain Project Understanding. Approach and Scope 1 3 -7 • Participants will be asked to draw, paint or write on 'art walls" to identify what they like and wish for Garvey Avenue, and how they envision the community in the future. This will provide community members with an opportunity to engage in a creative group) project, while simultaneously providing input that might later be displayed as public an. Each art wall panel will ask a different question: • Panel #1:1 like ...: What do you cherish about the corridor today? • Panel #2: 1 wish ...: What are the future opportunities for the corridor? • Panel #3: Top Headlines of 2040 ...: What do you think the top news headlines for the corridor will be in 2040? PMC and City staff representatives (three total) will be stationed by each panel to provide direction and support to participants. A few examples corresponding to community themes identified in the stakeholder interviews will be placed on each wall for participants to reference. Task 3.5 Deliverables: Two 3.5 Community Design Events. Why not make workshops fun? PMC proposes we events including attendance, change up the traditional approach to a community workshop and make these community- building events. By conducting two events, we have the opportunity to preparation, facilitation, enthuse, educate, engage, and solicit key input on the plan concepts in a fun and promotional and meeting inspiring atmosphere for all ages and nationalities. PMC proposes the following approach to engaging the community in a nontraditional workshop setting; materials (agenda, sign -in sheet, however, we are eager to collaborate with staff on other formats for community presentation, maps, exercise engagement in the scope refinement process and are very flexible in our outreach materials, etc.), and a summary of approach input received. We recommend two communi design events, one at each of two critical stages of the planning process. We ggest holding the first event during the land use and circulation design alterna ayes development stage of the project to present preliminary alternatives to the ommunity and seek their input. At this meeting we will also conduct activities art mapping exercises to identity design preferences and improvement strategies. A let the first event the project team will develop the preferred alternative. At the second community design event, the team will present the preferred alternate . We will seek input on the preferred alternative and direction on streetscape nd development standards. Because the City has studied the corridor in recent ears and has gathered information and developed policies on the envisioned tutu a for the corridor, our team will solicit feedback on the details including but not Ili lited to what type and mix of uses they want, what types of streetscape improve Real are missing, education on urban design concepts, and education on s ecific plan and zoning tools. Below are the two events we propose for a valuala and engaging outreach process: 38 1 Proposal for the City of Rosemead • Design Event #1: Land Use and Opportunity Site Alternatives. Present and Seek Input on the Land Use Alternatives, Opportunity Site Alternatives, Design Preferences, and Improvement Strategies • Design Event #2: Preferred Alternative. Present the Preferred Alternative and Development and Streetscape Standards and Develop Resources for the Implementation Plan PMC has utilized a wide variety of tools for use in public workshop and charrette settings that will be employed throughout the public outreach process. Based on the results of the outreach assessment, our team will determine which tools are right for Rosemead events. Our creative designers, engagement, and facilitation specialists are eager to customize tools or invent new ones specifically for Rosemead event attendees that will capture their ideas and translate them into meaningful input for vision and plan development. Several tools that have proven effective in visioning, place- making, and land useAransportation projects include: • Vision key word "clouds" • Live electronic polling exercises • Virtual or live walking tours • Land use concept mapping with development -type icon stickers • Visual design preference surveys (digital or analogue) • Traditional sticky dot and Post -it exercises to capture feedback on priorities or likes/dislikes • Money allocation project prioritization exercises • Community action planning exercises (organizing the community through public workshops) • '9 wish..." and "I like..." stickers to solicit input on draft products • Online collaborative sites for surveys or information/idea sharing Additional engagement that has proven effective and provides another important outreach opportunity are mobile workshops for City staff. Our team can provide a package of materials (including workshop presentations and engagement exercises) for staff to conduct at various community meetings or events (including community-wide events and at local facilities such as the library) with little effort to cast a much broader community engagement "net." Project Understanding. Approach and Scope 1 3 -9 PMC: Task 3.6 Deliverables: Interactive website and online survey to include a summary of input received. 3 -10 1 Proposal for the City of Rosemead PMC will provide print -ready promotional materials for each of the events, which may include any of the following: • Flyers to post at City [tall he library, schools, and businesses • Press releases for local p ers • A large street spanning banner to span Garvey Avenue to announce the project and planning process 3.6 Project Wehsite and Online Survey. Our team will develop a project website (which can link to the City's website if desired) that will provide project information and surveys as well as mirror activities from the kickoff party and community design events to capture people that are not able to participate in person. PMC uses MindMixer, an interactive online engagement web application, for the Garvey Avenue Corridor Specific Plan planning effort. The application combines a simple, easy -to -use interface with a robust, visually oriented, and real -time back -end data dashboard. The MindMixer interface with project stakeholders and citizens can be specifically designed to solicit ideas and preferences about a cohesive vision, guiding principles, and implementation strategies relevant to downtown. MindMixer offers the client, decision- makers, and citizens: • An easy -to -use interface that creates an enjoyable user experience, making community engagement fun, easy, and accessible. • Ideas, feedback surveys, voting, interactive games and e-mail features that enable users to easily submit ideas and opinions, indicate their preferences on design, land use and circulation concepts via interactive games and voting, and receive ongoing e-mail updates related to user - specified interests. • A reward system to create di itional incentives for participants, which may include simple prizes suc as coupons from local businesses. • A customized website feat ring a unique URL with branding and colors to match the City's or project website. • Project reporting that provi�as an in -depth look at who is participating and what ideas are being discu sect. MindMixer is a dynamic com unity engagement tool that can be used not only as a forum for community outrea h, but also as a forum for internal outreach to the sub - committees. Just as it doe with the broader community, MindMixer educates about planning issues facing osemead and excites participation in the project from stakeholders who are very knowledgeable about this. The site may also be used in lieu of face -to -face meetings and save time and resources in moving the project forward and allowing extensive participation of committee members when it's convenient for them. This tool may also be used by City staff and the project consultant to introduce new project topics and content and to share their ideas in an open and collaborative manner. 3.7 Public Sub- CommDtee Meetings (three meetings). PMC will facilitate three meetings with the sub - committee to discuss project progress, issues, and products. We propose that they occur during Tasks 1, 2, and 4 of the project. As an alternative to the standard meeting, we have found that it can be very effective to do a tour of key project sites with committees to visualize improvements to the area. A bus tour could be conducted in lieu of a traditional meeting; we would begin in a room selling to discuss the project assets and issues, and then venture together into the project area to discuss opportunities for public and private improvements. Public Sub- Committee Meetings Meeting #1 Introduce the project and Identify assets. issues needs, and opportunities for improvement Meeting #2: Review the preliminary land use and circulation alternatives and opportunity site concepts. Meeting #3. Review the preferred alternative. discuss evaluation criteria:. provide input on development standards and streetscape standards. This meeting may also be combined with the EIR arguing meeting All of the techniques used in soliciting input and finding common ground at community events can also be tailored to gather feedback from the committee as described above in Task 3.5. It is important to note that the purpose of these meetings will be to maximize agreement rather than build consensus. Task 4 Specific Plan Preparation Based on the information collected during previous tasks, the specific plan will be drafted to address the issues expressed by the Garvey Avenue Corridor Sub - Committee and Rosemead community and will comply with the state and local codes. This task will include any required amendments to City's General Plan, Zoning Code, and Zoning Map. At a minimum the Specific Plan shall include the following: 1'M( Task 3.7 Deliverables: Meeting prep, facilitation, and materials (agenda, sign -in sheet, presentation, maps, exercise materials, etc.); summary of input received and description of how results will be used in the plan. r 41 Goals and Planning Process This component will describe the goals which will Task 4.1 Deliverables: Specific guide development in the project area for the litespan of the plan. The goals and policies will be informed by past planning efforts and build upon those or amend plan chapter for project goals and those to provide more detail on items such as land use, circulation, urban design, process Project Understanding, Approach and Scope 3 -11 open space and sustainability to help realize the Plan Area's vision. This section will also document the planning process used to develop the Corridor Specific Plan. Task 4.2 Deliverables: Provide 4.2 Opportunity Sites (concept plans for up to four sites) (Jerrie Partnership). Our diagrams and text describing the project team will work with City staff and the Sub -Committee to identify up to four opportunity sites along the corridor for which to provide detailed concept plans. future vision for up to four key Jerde Partnership's team of architects and designers will assist the overall team in opportunity sites. Deliverables site reconnaissance and analysis of the corridor as a whole related to place - will include: making initiatives, and more specifically, provide pre - development programming • Written narrative assessment and design visioning for key opportunity sites that have the highest potential to serve as catalyst developments. The project team shall review and • Strategic programming respond to the current corridor conditions, program, and development intent ideas, concepts considering alternative pre - development positioning potentials and programming, • Reference images of content, and best use feasibildies of the opportunity sites. The pre - development programming concepts, public zones, and environmental use concepts generated by Jude shall be used to establish a framework for images directions of development within the updated corridor specific plan. • Indicative massing diagrams Jerrie will develop diagrams and studies, and use recommendations for the key identified opportunity sites, which will be documented in written narrative, simple strategic diagrams, pictorial character, and reference photos indicating content - driven environments, character images of key public zones and environmental ideas, and indicative massing, to be integrated into the overall specific plan. Optional Task A Deliverables: Optional Task A. Retail Consultancy Services (Thomas Consultants) Memorandum of findings for retail Thomas Consultants is a premier international strategic development consultancy consultancy services and that helps clients in both the public and private sectors to transform retail and integration of findings into land mixed -use projects into memorable and lasting destinations. Thomas will work with the project team to condo use and design concepts, as well 1 analyses and research to aid in the development of land use and development concepts for key areas along the corridor, with as participation in one kickoff emphasis on the opportunity si es. In particular, Thomas will provide the following meeting and one public meeting services and deliverables. Plea a refer to Attachment A for a more detailed scope with Garvey Avenue Corridor Sub- of work for the services to be ph 3vided. Committee and Presentation of a. Retail Market Performance Indicators Research. An examination of the past Final Report/ Attendance at performance and dynamic of the retail sector can provide clues to the existing conditions and iss des, and provide an outlook or future trends of the Public Hearing industry. b. Retail Supply Review. To I irofile Rosemead's retail sector, a survey of its retail market supply needs to be undertaken to understand the quantity, quality, format, and spatial distribution of the existing regional retail infrastructure. Equally important, however, will be to understand the planned 3 -12 Proposal for the City of Rosemead retail (through review of building permits) as well as the level of and distribution of employment across and within the retail sector, and employment distribution across other sectors that would provide an indication of where complementary retail uses may be required. The profile will also help to understand gaps in the distribution and format of retail across the city and within the Garvey Avenue Corridor project area. Case Study Review. Analyzing examples of successful retail developments, main streets, and destinations is an important component of the overall analysis process. Case study profiles to be provided will draw from a variety of local, national, and international retail projects, and will focus on traditional main streets retail destinations. This exercise would specifically draw lessons and "best practices' from the profiled projects with respect to retail program, layout, and design. 4.3 Preliminary land Use and Circulation Alternatives and Internal Charrette. The project team will conduct an internal charrette to develop up to three conceptual Preliminary Land Use and Circulation Alternatives based upon physical, economic, and social conditions and the desired community vision. These alternatives will be vetted with staff and refined with the option of sharing with the community and seeking input through the interactive project website to educate and solicit feedback on a preferred alternative. Based on project goals, objectives, and feedback gathered through the outreach process, the PMC team will create up to three conceptual preliminary land use and circulation alternatives for the plan area which will include, but not be limited to: • Land use, densities, and potential buildout Urban design and streetscape concepts • Multimodal circulation, connectivity, and infrastructure 4.4 Land Use Element The project team will develop a preferred alternative that incorporates staff, sub - committee, and community feedback gathered to date. Based upon the preferred alternative, PMC will develop a detailed land plan including use designations and densities, building heights, setbacks, and parking ratios among other details. The land use plan will demonstrate which parcels are proposed to change and which will remain the same. The land use strategy will incorporate descriptive text, tables, and diagrams depicting the designation's standards for new development and redevelopment. I'M(: Task 4.3 Deliverables: Up to three illustrative preliminary land use and circulation alternatives (maps, tables, and support material). Task 4.4 Deliverables: Land use element including preferred land use plan (digital copy) Project understanding. Approach and Scope 1 3 -13 Task 4.5 Deliverables: 4.5 Development Standards and Design Guidelines This section will reference Development standards and existing City toning, guidelines, and standards to the greatest extent possible and focus on adding detail on building form and placement, parking, and low- impact guidelines (digital copy) and sustainable design among others to achieve the community vision and execute the land use plan. The land use regulations and standards will be highly illustrative and clearly written so that they can be easily interpreted by the user and implemented by staff. Task 4.6 Deliverables: Infrastructure Element (digital copy) 3 -14 1 Proposal for the Cily of Rosemead 4.6 infrastructure Element (KOA, Huid- Zollars, PMC) Circulation Plan (KOA) KOA will prepare a draft element that will document the traffic study approach, methodology, assumptions, findings, and recommendations. The element will analyze the land uses and densities proposed and include the appropriate maps showing the study area, study intersections and locations of the area projects, diagrams showing peak -hour turning movement volumes at the study intersections for each scenario and trip distribution percentages, and existing and recommended bicycle, pedestrian, and transit facilities. All calculations will be provided in appendices. For a more detailed circulation scope of work, please see Appendix B. Streetscap"dscape Plan (PMC) Based on collaboration with and findings from i circulation analysis, PMC will demonstrate design detail to define the look and feel of the street to include street classifications, cross - sections. and palettes for streetscape elements. UOlities and Public Services/Facili8es Plan (Huitt- Zollars) An evaluation of existing utilit and infrastructure along with future improvements needed to accommodate plan led development will be included in this section. This will include an assessm nt of existing water and fire service capabilities, sewer collection, and storm d ain (including low- impact development) facilities, as well as electrical and to ecommunications capacities in the study area. Infrastructure costs will also I a included in this chapter. Community Services: Facilities such as parks, libr iries, educational, and cultural facilities will be addressed in this section and A ill describe the needs to meet the needs of the plan area upon buildoul. Optional Task B. Packing Study (KOA) Task 8 — Parking Analysis (OPTIONAL) KOA will make general observation during a late- morning period (when commercial offices and institutions are pa ked to their maximums), a late afternoon period (when retail uses are parked o their maximum) and an evening period (when residential uses are parked to their maximum). Patterns of off- street and on- street demand will be monitored at a macro -level scale, to understand the ability of existing land uses by general type to contain parking demand within off- street parking areas and the use of nearby on- street parking. General surveyed demand will be mapped for each of the monitoring periods, and overlaid with a land use map to be provided by the Client. A review of potential parking conditions for concentrations of mixed -use development will be conducted. The land use density data for the proposed mixed -use areas will be used to create a parking supply requirement matrix by sub -area. The input data will be from GIs mapping/database or spreadsheet files to be provided by the Client. The analyzed subareas will be conglomerations of small areas (approximately three to five blocks) that can be used to create strategies for shared parking or parking demand reduction strategies, based on major land uses that could remain for many years into Plan implementation as well as new types of potential new uses. From this exercise, recommended parking requirements will be developed for general types of potential future land uses within the Plan area. 4.7 Implementation, Financing, and Phasing Element. This section will provide a Task 4.7 Deliverables: roadmap to achieving the vision including priorities, timing, responsibilities, and Implementation Element (digital possible funding mechanisms for each project, program, or program assigned as an action item. The chapter will include sections such as: copy) 1. Development of an implementation matrix including list of key projects, programs, and policies, necessary to achieve the Specific Plan vision as well as parties responsible for the action. 2. Estimation for infrastructure costs. 3. Development of phasing plan based on costs and most beneficial timing of improvements. 4. Identification of potential revenue sources from local, regional, state and federal, and private sources. Estimate revenues per source over a given time Name. 5. Creation of a comparative funding matrix of #2 above and using criteria to determine their use, timing and constraints. 6. Identification of potential funding strategies using a mixture of sources from #2 and #3 that address phasing and implementation. 7.

Projecl Understanding, Approach and Scope 1 3 -15 9. Preparation of a write -up and tables/graphics of analysis and coordination with project team. Task 4.8 Deliverables: Meeting to 4.8 Amendments to the GP, Zoning Code and Zoning Map. During the preparation discuss Plan Compliance of the draft Specific Plan for Garvey Avenue Corridor, PMC will review the City's General Plan, Zoning Code, and Zoning Map to assess compliance with relevant Assessment, General Plan provisions of those plans (text and map). Specifically, PMC will review General Amendment (text and/or map if Plan goals and policies to flag any potential inconsistencies. If inconsistencies are needed), Zoning Code found, we will discuss with staff appropriate steps to modify the Specific Plan and/or prepare necessary amendments to the General Plan to ensure consistency Amendment (text and /or map if upon completion. PMC will also identify any deviations between the draft Specific needed) Plan and City Zoning Code and Map. While state law allows Specific Plan regulations to deviate from the Zoning Code, those deviations should be known at the time of plan adoption. The City may also need or want to amend the Zoning Code or Map to ensure consistency between the plans or portions thereof consistent. PMC will prepare a Plan Compliance Assessment summarizing the findings to present and discuss with staff. Based on input and direction from staff, PMC will prepare necessary amendments to the General Plan and/or Zoning Code as appropriate. These amendments would proceed in conjunction with the review, consideration, and action on the Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Task 4.9 Deliverables: First 4.9 First Administrative Draft Specific Plan. PMC will compile the elements listed in Task 4 and prepare the first Administrative Draft Specific Plan for City internal Administrative Draft Specific Plan circulation and review.

The following paragraphs additional staff member will attend describe these key environmental considerations and identify our approach to analyzing each topic. one public scoring meeting. 5.4.1 Traffic Impact Analysis PMC has teamed with KOA to prepare a traffic impact analysis (TIA) for the Task 5.4.1 Deliverable: Traffic proposed Specific Plan. Based on the proposed project's use, density, and trip- Impact Analysis making characteristics, KOA will: • Determine project trip generation based on ITE Trip Generation rates, commercial use pass -by trip rates, internal capture rates between uses and adjacent developments, and transit use credits. • Determine the number and the distribution of new trips generated by the proposed land uses by block/sector, and assign and map them to the roadway system. Pored Understanding, Approach and Scope 3 -17 As defined by the finalized seeping document, a project trip distribution pattern to regional travel routes will be applied. Different distribution rates will be applied to various sectors of the corridor parcels. Ideally, KOA would receive a spreadsheet file from the Client that contains parcel numbers and the change in residential units by density and the change in non - residential floor area in square feet by type, by parcel for changes under the Specific Plan. KOA will process the data in GIS and generate trips for analysis based on Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) or divisions of those regional model polygons. KOA will then conduct an Existing Plus- Project Analysis, a Future Pre - Project Analysis and a Future Post- Project Analysis. KOA will produce a standalone traffic impact analysis report that provides recommendations for the mitigation of project impacts, if any. The report will include the appropriate maps showing the study area, study intersections and locations of the area projects, diagrams showing peak -hour turning movement volumes at the study intersections for each scenario and trip distribution percentages, and existing and recommended bicycle, pedestrian, and transit facilities. All calculations will be provided in appendices. Task 5.4.2 Deliverables: For 5.4.2 Air Quality Modeling efficiency and to reduce costs, the PMC will quantity the air pollutant emissions that are attributable to the proposed project's CaIEEMo l results and Specific Plan and evaluate the impacts of those emissions. Rosemead is located in corresponding air quality impacts the South Coast Air Basin. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is the air pollution control agency for the basin. Primary pollutants of will be discussed within the body concern include ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and toxic air of the EIR, rather than producing a contaminants JAC). PMC will quantity and analyze the project's air quality stand -alone air quality technical impacts in accordance with the SCAQMD's recommended methodologies and thresholds of significance, including the district's localized significance study. The analysis in the EIR thresholds. would be supported by modeling documentation, which would be Short-term (anticipated cons ruction) and long -term (operational) emissions associated with implementatio i of the proposed Specific Plan will be quantified included as an appendix to the using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). Regional air quality EIR. will be further evaluated in terr is of the project's consistency with the SCAQMD's 2012 Air Quality Managemen Plan. Applicable air pollution control measures contained in the Air Quality Mallagement Plan will be identified and discussed. PMC will investigate the doterul al for sensitive receptors to be exposed to sources of TACs. This analysis will co cider the guidance provided by the California Air Resources Board in the Air Qu lily and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective. This handbook in ludes various recommendations for the siting of sensitive land uses near majo sources of TACs and is intended to serve as a guideline for proposed development. 3 -18 Proposal fm the Glyot Roserreah In this rase, carbon monoxide (CO) hotspots are not expected to be a concern. The South Coast Air Basin is now designated an attainment basin for CO standards. To that end, the SCAOMD performed carbon monoxide modeling for the tour intersections that were considered the worst -case intersections in the entire basin: Wilshire at Veteran, Sunset at Highland, La Cienega at Century, and Long Beach at Imperial. In all cases, CO concentrations were found to be below the 8 -hour standard of 9 parts per million (fifil Therefore, a CO hotspot analysis is not included in our basic scope of work, but could be provided upon request for an additional fee. The analysis of impacts on sensitive receptors will also consider potential odors. Odor impacts will be identified and any potential effects on sensitive land uses will be qualitatively discussed. 5.4.3 Greenhouse Gas Modeling PMC will quantity the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that can be attributed to the Specific Plan and evaluate the project's contribution to the cumulative impact of global climate change. PMC will quantity the annual GHG emissions anticipated to result from implementation of the Specific Plan using the CalEEMod model, in accordance with the SCAOMD's recommended methodologies. PMC will evaluate the resulting emissions against thresholds of significance that are acceptable to the City. Thresholds of significance for GHG emissions have been a topic of much debate among CEOA practitioners, lead agencies, and air quality management districts and control boards. The most recent agency guidance in the region was provided by the SCAOMD Working Group in 2010, which proposed the use of an interim numeric GHG screening threshold of 3,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year for all nonindustrial projects (pursuant to Tier III of the SCAOMD's Significance Threshold Approach). While this screening threshold has not been adopted by either the SCAOMD or the City of Rosemead, it may provide a basis of evaluation for the proposed project. If GHG emissions are determined to be a potentially significant impact, PMC will identity appropriate actions that the proposed project can include to mitigate GHG impacts. Mitigation measures proposed as a part of the environmental analysis will also be quantified to show the reduction potential of individual measures. Task 5.4.3 Deliverables: For efficiency and to reduce costs, the project's CaIEEMod results and corresponding GHG impacts will be discussed within the body of the EIR, rather than producing a stand -alone GHG technical study. The analysis in the EIR would be supported by modeling documentation, which would be included as an appendix to the EIR. Project Understanding. Approach and Scope 1 3 -19 Task 5.4.4 Deliverables: The draft Noise Assessment will be submitted to the City electronically for review. The final Noise Assessment will be included as an appendix to the FIR. 3 -20 Proposal for the City of Rosemead 5.4.4 Noise Assessment PMC has teamed with Moshe Greve Associates (MGA) to prepare a Noise Assessment for the proposed Specific Plan. MCA proposes the following scope of work for this technical study' Existing Environment The FHWA highway noise model ( "FHWA Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model," FHWA -RD -77 -108) will be used to describe existing traffic noise levels in the project vicinity. Additionally, MGA will make eight short - term noise measurements near the project site. Community noise standards relevant to this project are contained in the City of Rosemead Noise Element and Noise Ordinance. Standards for the jurisdiction will be summarized and their relevance to the project discussed. Potential Impacts. The potential noise impacts can be divided into short-term construction noise and long -term operational impacts on surrounding land uses. As the project is a Specific Plan, it will not define any specific projects at the level required to determine short-term impacts due to construction and demolition noise. Construction noise will be discussed generally along with typical equipment and noise levels and standard practices that should be implemented during construction to minimize noise impacts. The application of the City Noise Ordinance to control construction noise will be discussed as well. Long -term noise impacts due to the project - generated traffic will also be assessed. The noise impacts associated with the project's traffic on adjacent land uses will be assessed in terms of the CNEL noise scale. The increase in noise levels due to the project will be determined. Areas that will experience a significant noise increase will a identified. For the project scenario, the absolute noise levels experienced in th fca areas will then be determined, and the resulting land use/noise compatibility tlussed. Traffic noise levels that imp ct the project area will also be assessed for compatibility with the propose land uses. As discussed above, the Specific Plan will not be detailed enough to Jetermine specific impacts. Noise levels within the project area will be determ ied and compared to noise/land compatibility guidelines contained in the Cit s Noise Element. Measures that may be required for specific projects to mee the City's noise standards will be discussed generally. Much of the Garvey Avenue C wider, the project area, is bordered by residential uses. Potential noise impact that commonly occur at commercial/residential interlaces will be discussed generally. Measures to avoid noise incompatibilities including site design and the use of noise barriers will be discussed. Mitigation Measures. Mitigation strategies will be identified as needed for the control of noise levels within the project site. We will specify any measures to mitigate tragic noise levels at the project site. Measures will be developed as necessary to mitigate off -site noise impacts. 5.4.5 Dlilities and Service Systems PMC has teamed with Huib- Zollars to prepare the Infrastructure Element of the Specific Plan. PMC will utilize the information gathered in the preparation of this element to analyze the potential impacts on utilities and service systems. In addition to the Infrastructure Element, PMC anticipates that a Water Supply Assessments) may be needed for the Specific Plan, since it is assumed that the Specific Plan will exceed the thresholds established in SB 610 (e.g., a shopping center or business establishment employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 500,000 square feet of floor space, or a project having a water demand equivalent to or greater than a 500 - dwelling -unit project). The Garvey corridor is served by four water purveyors: Golden Slate Water Company, San Gabriel Valley Water Company, Amarillo Mutual Water District, and San Gabriel County Water District. Golden State Water Company serves the majority of the Garvey corridor, including the former Los Angeles Dealer Auto Auction site San Gabriel Valley Water Company provides water to the majority of the balance of the study corridor, particularly the eastern portion. Amarillo Mutual Water District and San Gabriel County Water District each serve a limited number of parcels along the north side of Garvey Avenue. PMC will assist the City in coordinating the preparation of one or more Water Supply Assessments by these water purveyors. 5.5 Administrative Draft EIR and Mitigation Monitoring Program PMC will prepare an Administrative Draft EIR for review by City staff. The EIR will include all the components required by CEDA, including a summary, a project description, a description of the environmental setting, a discussion of both project- specific and cumulative environmental impacts (by topic), mitigation measures, and an alternatives analysis in which up to three alternatives (including the No Project Alternative) will be considered. The EIR will be prepared in accordance with CEDA, the most recent Guidelines for the Implementation of CEDA, applicable CEDA case law, and City guidelines. PMC will also prepare a Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP), which will either be a chapter of the OR or a stand -alone document depending on the City's preference, Beyond the technical aspects of preparing the CEDA document, our approach is to prepare a reader - friendly EIR that clearly explains why impacts are deemed not significant, significant but mitigable, or significant and unavoidable. To accomplish this, we will use a combination of narrative, figures, photographs, I'tl( Task 5.4.5 Deliverables: For efficiency and to reduce costs, the project's utilities and service system impacts will be discussed within the body of the EIR, rather than producing a stand -alone technical study. The analysis in the EIR would be supported by the utility investigations conducted for Specific Plan and any water supply assessments provided by the water purveyors, which will be included as an appendix to the EIR. Task 5.5 Deliverables: PMC will submit the Administrative Draft FIR to the City electronically for review and comment in a format that meets the City's needs (e.g., Word formal and/or PDF). Project Understanding, Approach and Scope 1 3 -21 Task 5.6 Deliverables: maps, tables, and other visual aids. We believe that our reader - friendly approach • Pre -print Draft EIR.

During Rukavina's 18 years serving in a City Engineering capacity, his primary tasks involved: • project planning /management; • construction observationladministration; • public relations for the city's public works projects; • preparation of City Council staff reports; • resolution, ordinances and report writing; • capital improvement program budgets preparation; • plans, specifications, and estimates prep for minor projects; PROJECT MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE • overseeing and managing the City's maintenance contracts; • street vacation; • funding application processing; • development review and subdivision processing; • water quality management; and • tentative and final map processing. Rukavina's project management duties have included overseeing staff resources to effectively meet project requirements and budgetary and scheduling goals during design and construction phases. Duties included: • Project Scheduling • Monitoring Project Budgets Coordination/Staffing • Quality Assurance • Project Team He is experienced in performing these duties on the following types of projects: • Street Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Widening • Urban Landscape Improvements • Storm Drains • Park Improvements • Sewers and Watedines • Traffic Signals • Right -of -Way Acquisitions • Master Plans: Storm Drain, Sewer, Traffic Signal, Street Lighfing, Pavement Management Systems RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE Inglewood Avenue Corridor Widening - Lawndale, California Rukavina served as Project Manager for the preparation of plans, specifications and estimates for the widening of Inglewood Avenue, an arterial highway of regional significance, bisecting the City of Lawndale and serving the South Bay area of Los Angeles in general, with direct access to 1 -405. Several significant issues needed to be addressed and overcome for the successful design and construction of the project, which include: BNSF Railway Company at -grade crossing, existing building footprints and right -of -way acquisition, utility relocations, signal opfimizaron, expansive soils, coordination with multiple jurisdictions, and federal funding (requiring Cations Local Assistance Processing, i.e. obtain E -76). Santa Monica Boulevard Streetscape and Rehabilitation - West Hollywood, California Rukavina served as Project Manager of this project which included widened sidewalks, bulb outs, new street trees, boulevard landscaping, landscaped medians, traffic signal upgrades, intersection realignment, wiring for holiday tree lighting, bus stop improvements, patterned asphah crosswalks, storm drains, sewer upgrades, and roadway reconstruction. The existing cross section along one mile of roadway allowed for the widening of sidewalks from 6' to up to 23', with the narrowing of an existing to a 14 -foot wide landscaped median. During the design concept phase, Rukavina was a participant in the community process, sometimes facilitating meetings with community representatives. Coordination with utilities and Los Angeles County Department of Public Works was a critical element as the project incorporated utility upgrades and storm drain design prepared by the County. Garvey Avenue Bridge - City of Rosemead Rukavina was the Project Director responsible for implementing this project to replace the Garvey Avenue Bridge over Rio Hondo Channel, which involved extensive coordination with federal, state and local agencies. The existing substandard, seismically deficient bridge was replaced with a state -of -the -art bridge consisting of precast, pre- stressed bulb tee girders, post- tensioned for continuity, to meet design constraints necessitating increased hydraulic capacity for the channel, and a highly condensed staged construction schedule necessary to complete construction during one dry season with no closures of Garvey Avenue, a busy corridor. The new $11 million bridge is 420 feet long and 100 feet wide, with only three piers in the channel. As the City desired a signature bridge to serve as a gateway to the community, historic features of the old bridge were recreated, and decorative lighting and monuments were incorporated into the design such that the bridge will serve as an entrance statement into the City. Rukavina and his project team worked closely with Cakrans to obtain federal funding and environmental clearance through Cakrans District 7 Local Assistance, and with the Army Corps of Engineers and Los Angeles County Department of Public Works to obtain approval of the hydraulic analysis and civilistructural plans as a prerequisite for obtaining the necessary encroachment permits from each agency. Rukavina provided oversight of the construction management team during the construction phase as well. Phase II Enhanced Crosswalks - Santa Monica, California Rukavina was the Project Manager/Project Engineer/Project Engineer for the preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates for the Enhanced Crosswalk Project Phase II in the City. The general items of work includes enhanced crosswalks, streetscape and street and storm drain modifications to Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard, Broadway, and Ocean Park Boulevard from west City limit to east City limit . The improvements included signing, striping, new traffic and pedestrian signals, in pavement flashers, curb extensions, wheelchair ramp construction, catch basin relocation, paving, median island construction, and landscapelnigation design. Various Streetscape Projects - Rosemead, California As City Engineer. Rukavina directed the efforts of consultants in developing and designing various streetscape projects in the City, including the Valley Boulevard and San Gabriel Boulevard street improvement and beautification projects. Valley Boulevard included new parkway landscaping, installation of decorative street lighting, and pavement rehabilitation.

Interpreting Services International, Inc. 6180 Laurel Canyon Boulevard, Suite #230 North Hollywood, California 91606 Phone: 818 753 -9181 Fax: 818 432 -0261 Each ISI team member - whether translator, interpretr, editor, reviewer or proofreader, goes through a series of rigorous tests to determine their skill level and abilities. These tests include translation of documents selected by ISI as well as the review of specific documents that contain inconsistencies such as subtle and /or gross stylistic and grammatical errors intentionally placed in said document. These documents are evaluated by established ISI translators who submit a report regarding each candidate's abilities. Evaluators take into account each applicant's skills regarding their ability to target the readability level /register of a specific audience. ISI's evaluators take into account the vocabulary, the use of a style guide as well as established client-specific glossaries. Furthermore, they work rigorously and with great detail when identifying grammatical errors and fine- tuning style. Based on the evaluators' assessment coupled with a verification of past experience and credentials, a determination is made whether or not to utilize, in a controlled and closely monitored way, the services of successful applicants. All translations performed by recently -added linguists go through an internal review process in addition to the ISI established process. In addition to careful selection of our linguistic team, the ISI best practices translation process ensures that: 1. Qualified documents go through our CAT (Computer Aided Translation) and TM (Terminology Management) tools. This means that each new translation is analyzed, reviewed against our database of previously translated material for Cigna, and flagged as to repeat content and new content. Therefore, while all terminology is carefully reviewed, anything identified as new is immediately given additional attention in order to provide the most culturally sensitive and linguistically accurate translation. This means that each translation that we provide strengthens our internal database of previously translated and approved terminology. Any new material can then be added to our database, thus avoiding any potential contamination of Translation Memory. 2. An ongoing and open process of Client Review ensures that high standards are maintained as new content is added. The CAT and TM process also enhances our ability to preserve consistency among all the core information that is so often repeated. 3. ISI is not going to provide an automated, mechanical, envelope switching translation. We have a human - intensive work flow that entails open communication between our highly- educated and experienced project managers, clients, translators, editors, designers, and proofreaders. 4. We take the editing and proofreading of translations seriously. ISI always takes a team approach to the translation process. This multi- tiered approach is the bedrock of our success. Our proven track record of more than 30 years in the language service industry, coupled with our long- standing relationships and expertise with many clients across various verticals, allow us to confidently state that we provide the highest quality translation services. Ideals that ISI looks for in professional linguists to join our team as translators and editors are the following: 1. University degree in translation, preferably at the master's level or foreign equivalent. We verify this information. 2. Extensive professional experience in translation and linguistics. We verify this information. 3. Subject -matter expertise in the field in which they will be translating. We verify this information and measure their ability through an internal test. 4. Certification or Accreditation from the ATA or equivalent organization. We verify this information. 5. Passing an internal test provided by ISI. Qualitative assessment evaluated by in -house team. 6. Careful review of actual translations by ISI. Qualitative assessment evaluated by in -house team. 7. Ability to work with our CAT and TM system. In summary, the steps followed on all ISI translations, large or small: Project management: • Analyze source document for content, volume, target languages, matches from the translation memory, subject- matter, formatting requirements, target audience & turnaround time. • Create a quote for client approval. • Create realistic deadlines. • Price a job correctly. • Upon client approval, select the team. • Communicate changes, questions, and answers. Terminology Management: • Analyze source for leveraged segments and glossary. • Create a client - specific glossary of frequently translated acronyms & industry terminology. • Create a client - specific style guide to identify rules for capitalization, acronyms, numbering, titles, etc. • Clean -up target documents and set new memory segments. • Update new terminology and maintain integrity of translation memory and glossary. • Follow CCM best practices of terminology management. (Create, Cleanse, Maintain) Translation: • Address words or phrases that cannot be translated literally. • Notice a flaw in the source language. • Share these observations with the project manager) ho will, in turn, share them with the client. • Decide how measurements, currencies, colors and dates will be displayed. Editing: • Review the translators' work to give it a linguistic Brie- tuning. • Check for appropriate cultural adaptations. • Strengthen the document's integrity and text flow. • Compare the source document with the target document to make sure there are no omissions. Work using a "track changes" feature. That way, PMs know what changes have been made so they can discuss with translator. Desktop Publishing: • Mirror the source document design. • Manage text expansion. • Resolve font issues. • Place graphical elements correctly. • Prepare final output. • Ensure resolution and print quality. Proofing: • Last stop on the project's journey. • Look for dropped diacriticals such as accent marks or improper characters. • Make sure word -wraps & hyphenation are correct. • Double -check for transposed numbers. • Dot the "i "s & cross the "es before the project is delivered.

SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR RETAIL CONSULTANCY TASK I: INITIAL RECONNAISSANCE, PROJECT KICK -OFF, AND WORK PROGRAM REFINEMENT • Together with the Project Team, two (2) of TCI's team will attend the Project kick -off meeting with the City Staff to discuss the project goals and objectives, refine tasks and deliverables, and coordinate the planning process for the study. • Obtain and review all Client provided data and documents, including General Plan, Zoning Code and Map, related Design Guidelines, City's Strategic Plan, and any other necessary information. • Identify key community leaders /groups to interview to gain perspective on local retail economy. Discussions with local businesses, property owners, developers, brokers will also be undertaken. • Undertake field investigations of the local commercial and retail market within the study area and immediate surrounding region. This will provide the team with a good understanding of the local retail and commercial dynamics, especially the competitive market within Rosemead and the surrounding region. TASK 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS, ISSUES, OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES A market assessment (which is inclusive of demographic analysis) will be divided into 3 parts, firstly an overview of retail market performance indicators in the area, followed by assessment and analysis of the retail supply in the area, to understand the various retail formats in the area, and their specific roles and functions. Finally, relevant case studies of similar projects will be examined for their effectiveness and applicability to th Garvey Ave Corridor Project A. RETAIL MARKET PERFORMANCE INDICATORS RESEARCH An examination of the past performance and dynamics of the retail sector can provide clues the existing conditions, issues and provide an outlook or future trends of the industry. The following will be examined or highlighted (where data i available): • Key retail performance metrics such as vacancy rai as, lease / rental rates, sales performance statistics and major mall footfall volumes; • Growth pattern of major retail development activity within Rosemead and the region • Major retail, food / beverage or entertainment brands / operators that are active (or recent new entries in the market) in the region; • Evolution of retail formats in the region; • Overall analysis of the Garvey Avenue corridor retail landscape, which includes an overview of the shopping patterns observed along the corridor. • Analyze local residents' demographic profile, including population growth, socio- economic structure, age distribution and household composition. Comment on local trade area resident purchasing power indicators, including income levels, per capita retail sales and 'trends' that may arise from the analysis. B. RETAIL SUPPLY REVIEW To profile Rosemead's retail sector a survey of its retail market supply needs to be undertaken to understand the quantity, quality, format and spatial distribution of the existing regional retail infrastructure. Equally important, however, will be to understand the planned retail (through review of building permits) as well as the level of and distribution of employment across and within the retail sector, and employment distribution across other sectors that would provide an indication of where complementary retail uses may be required. The profile will also help to understand gaps in the distribution and format of retail across the City and within the Garvey Ave Corridor Study Area. The tasks that will be undertaken include: • Document, examine and map all retail developments throughout the study area and the trade area, providing an inventory and qualitative evaluation of their formats, role and function', component mix, and an overall assessment of the strengths, weaknesses and appeal of the study area's retail sector; • Prepare void /opportunity matrix comparing retail formats, and tenant types; • Provide an inventory of major retail businesses and available buildings or lands (that could accommodate potential retail uses) within the study area to ascertain the existing retail offer but also identify opportunities where retail can be refocused around key nodes to provide more clearly defined retail precincts (or destinations) along the Corridor with specific roles and functions that are complementary and help to reinforce a more comprehensive and cohesive retail landscape for the Corridor. • Prepare an inventory of appropriately serviced and zoned lands that could accommodate new retail development. C. CASE STUDY REVIEW Analyzing examples of successful retail developments, main streets, and destinations is an important component of the overall analysis process. Case study profiles to be provided will draw from a variety of local, national and international retail projects, and will focus on traditional main streets retail destinations. This exercise would specifically draw lessons and "best practices" from the profiled projects with respect to retail program, layout and design. Specifically, the case studies would address 'success or fail factors' related to: • Project composition; • Retail floorspace size; • Circulation; • Unique architectural design elements and theme: • Placemaking elements and wayfinding; • Tenant mix, anchor uses and functions; and • Public spaces and community integration. TASK 3: PUBLIC MEETINGS WITH THE GARVEY AVE CORRIDOR SUB- COMMITTEE TO staff would, together with the Project Team, participate in a minimum of I public meeting with the Garvey Ave Corridor Subcommittee that is anticipated to be organized and coordinated by the Master Planning Lead Consultant Team. It is recommended that this take place early in the project, soon after the project kick -off to establish early key issues. concerns and aspirations of the local business community. TASK 4: SPECIFIC PLAN PREPARATION — ESTABLISH14G THE RETAIL OPPORTUNITY FRAMEWORK Based on research and analysis, and feedback and inf rmation received at the public meetings, TCI would work with the Master Planning Lead Cor sultant Team to provide inputs into the Specific Plan preparation and establish a Retail Oppo unity Framework that provides guidance and recommendations to the future growth retail in al ng the Corridor. Rather than try to encourage retail development hroughout the Corridor, which would undermine the ability to provide a strong identity an I role for retail along Garvey Avenue, it will be imperative to focus on encouraging and crea ing retail nodes/destinations at strategic locations along Garvey Ave, each with their own retai role and function, and with a tenant mix that is complementary to the other retail nodes. This will encourage cross - shopping across these nodes and help to drive retail traffic along the Corridor. Focus will be on 4 key sites: Site I: 15.6 ac site (old Auto Auction site) Site 2: A 4.4ac site nearby / adjacent to the Auto Auction site Site 3 A 3.68ac site Site 4: A 2.52 ac site These four sites will be studied and analyzed, and a SWOT analysis will be undertaken for each to establish their appropriateness for either single - purpose retail / or mixed -use which provides necessary on -site demand drivers to the retail. A specific retail function and role will then be established for each and development and design guidelines will be created by the Master Planning / Design Team that reinforce each of these roles / functions. Key tasks include: • SWOT analysis of the above -noted sites; • Establish role and function of the commercial /retail uses at these specific retail nodes along the Garvey Ave Corridor as they relate to the area's vision; • Establish preliminary retail program and identify potential tenant mix (local and national) for each of these specific retail nodes. • Identify and map other retail development opportunities within the Study Area and provide input to Master Plan. • Work with Master Planning team to identify special features and distinctive experiential elements that would serve to heighten the visitor and shopping experience along the Garvey Ave Corridor. DELIVERABLES & TIMING OF COMPLETION Thomas Consultants will prepare and deliver the findings of its retail consultancy services in collaboration and coordination with the Master Planning Lead Team, and in the agreed upon format that best suits the requirements of the Master Planner. In addition to the above, Thomas Consultants will participate in the following: • Kick -off meeting with Client, and Master Planning Team KOA Scope of Work KOA CO"ORAT[ON PUNNING 8 ENGINEERING 1 100 Corporate Center Dr..

It is understood that the Specific Plan would assist in refining course land use designations identified by the General Plan for this corridor. The land use changes would be more focused under the Specific Plan, would assist in alleviating density concerns of neighboring residents, and would ideally assist in promoting proper infill development on underutilized or vacant parcels. The City is required to support commute traffic and general cut - through traffic, as it lies between multiple communities and is traversed by major parallel roadway corridors to the 1 -10 freeway. The General Plan Circulation Element traffic impact study, completed by KOA in March 2010, identified future operations at all of the four major intersections Garvey Avenue as approaching or exceeding capacity conditions during peak periods. KOA has included a study area of 16 intersections, to include the analysis of operations at these four major intersections, as well as traffic signals at interim locations along Garvey, and other major intersections to the north and south, including those on routes to and from the freeway. The Specific Plan traffic study will need to identify a balance between supporting and alleviating commute congestion and providing appropriately -sized land uses within the Plan area. Based on our review of the RFP and the local roadway network. and our past experience with the last Circulation Element, the following scope framework was developed: • Analysis of up to 10 study intersections • Analysis of a main land use plan and up to two alternatives • Analysis of CMP impact and Caltmns traffic analysis sensitivity standards on I -10 • Review of existing and planned bicycle and transit facilities • Development of improved bicycle, pedestrian, and transit linkages and development of focused Complete Streets concepts in mind, as feasible for the corridor • Development of roadway /intersection mitigation measures, where necessary and feasible The scope of work provides for an existing plus - project analysis (to comply with recent CEQA court rulings) and a future buildout analysis, as well as two additional land use scenarios. The study area and approach /methodology would be fine -tuned once underway, during a project meeting or coordination at the start of work. A scope of work and related fee for the envisioned study tasks are provided below for review by PMC (Client). Adjustments to the scope of work identified below may be necessary based on additional input from the City during the scoping process. LOS ANGELES ONTARIO ORANGE SAN DIEGO SOUTH BAY KOA CORPORATION • PLANNING 6 ENGINEERING Scope of Work Task I - Scoping and Coordination KOA will coordinate with City staff to build consensus on the proposed project trip generation, trip distribution, and study intersections for approval by the City prior to starting the traffic analysis. We will prepare a scoping document that will include the traffic study approach, methodology and assumptions for review and approval by the City. Based on our coordination efforts, KOA will make adjustments to the study scope as needed. This task includes KOA participation in a kickoff meeting with City staff, if needed. The study will evaluate significant impacts on the study area circulation system for an existing plus - project analysis and a buildout analysis. The project distribution and the background growth analysis for the buildout analysis will be consistent with the SCAG regional traffic model. Task 2 — Data Collection KOA will collect new traffic counts at up to 16 intersections for weekday peak periods. This will include 10 study intersections including the four major Garvey Avenue intersections plus other intervening intersections on the corridor or others to the north or south. Manual peak -hour turning movement counts will be collected during the weekday a.m. peak (7:00 am. to 9:00 a.m.), weekday p.m. peak (4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.) time periods at the study intersections. KOA will conduct detailed fieldwork including intersection geometry, signal phasing, transit services and on- street parking/restrictions within the study area Existing and planned transit and bicycle facilities in the area will be researched and documented. Task 3 — Existing Conditions KOA will conduct an analysis of existing conditions at the study intersections to determine current traffic operating conditions. The data collected from Task 2 will be used to create a local area traffic analysis file. The traffic analysis file will be adopted from the Circulation Element analysis and will include all key Speck Plan roadways and intersections for detailed level of service analysis. The results of the existing conditions analysis will be documented and summarized in the traffic study report. Task 4 — Project Analysis Based on the proposed project's use, density, and trip- making characteristics, KOA will: • Determine project trip generation based on ITE Trip Generation rates, commercial use pass -by trip rates, internal capture rates between uses and adjacent developments, and transit use credits. • Determine the number and the distribution of new trips generated by the proposed land uses by block/sector, and assign and map them to the roadway system. Proposal for Traffic Study— Rosemead Garvey Avenue Specific Plan Page 2 Prepared for PMC MB41022 February 24, 2014 a PfKOA CORPORATION PEANNtNG 8 ENGINEERING As defined by the finalized scoping document, a project trip distribution pattern to regional travel routes will be applied. Different distribution rates will be applied to various sectors of the corridor parcels. Ideally, KOA would receive a spreadsheet file from the Client that contains parcel numbers and the change in residential units by density and the change in non - residential floor area in square feet by type, by parcel for changes under the Specific Plan. KOA will process the data in GIS and generate trips for analysis based on Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) or divisions of those regional model polygons. Task 5 — Existing Plus- Project Analysis KOA will conduct an analysis of existing plus - project conditions at the study intersections to determine potential traffic impacts within the study area under existing conditions. This analysis would fulfill determinations made by the Sunnyvale and Expo Line CEQA court cases. The results of the existing plus - project conditions analysis will be documented and summarized within the traffic study report. Task 6 — Future Pre - Project Analysis KOA will analyze future pre - project conditions, which will establish a baseline for the evaluation of potential project traffic impacts in the buildout post - project scenario. Future analysis conditions will be defined based on an annual ambient growth rate and trips generated by included area/cumulative projects that are on or close to the Garvey Avenue corridor. The results of the analysis of this scenario will be documented and summarized within the traffic study report. The ambient growth rate for the buildout analysis will be generated. The growth rate through the buildout analysis year will be defined through factors developed within the study area by base and buildout link volumes from the SCAG regional model. A list of relevant projects for the buildout analysis will be generated through coordination with City planning staff and their pending project list The application of the model growth rate will provide for estimated traffic growth from most City and nearby regional projects, however. Task 7 — Future Post - Project Analysis The study will provide an analysis of the overall Plan effects on the area circulation system, develop potential circulation system improvements and multi -model travel infrastructure deficiencies (bicycle system missing linkages, general width of the sidewalk network by segment, and adequacy of Metro bus stop and local circulator shuttle access and amenities). Last- mile/first -mile trip connections will be reviewed. Based on the proposed project land use and building Floor area and the calculated net trips that would be the potential incremental traffic increases with adoption of the proposed land use plan, a future post- project analysis will be conducted for the buildout scenario. The results of the project impact analysis will be documented and summarized in the traffic study report. Up to two additional project scenarios will analyzed. as either environmental document scenarios or less intense development scenarios for the removal of identified traffic impacts. Mitigation measures will be developed and post- mitigation impacts will be evaluated, for all three land use scenarios. Proposal for Traffic Study — Rosemead Garvey Avenue Specific Plan Page 3 Prepared for PMC MB41022 February 24, 2014 KOA CORPORATION t PLANNING 8 ENGINEERING As required by Los Angeles County, a Congestion Management Program (CMP) analysis will also be conducted at applicable CMP locations. The analysis will follow CMP guidelines and criteria in identifying potential impacts caused by the project. Caltrans sensitivity standards for traffic analysis, as recently adopted for use in the City of Los Angeles via a Memorandum of Understanding, will be applied to this analysis within the City of Rosemead, to analyze the potential for additional analysis needs on the I -10 facility due to the Specific Plan. Task 8 — Parking Analysis (OPTIONAL) KOA will make general observations during a late- morning period (when commercial offices and institutions are parked to their maximums), a late afternoon period (when retail uses are parked to their maximum) and an evening period (when residential uses are parked to their maximum). Patterns of off - street and on- street demand will be monitored at a macro -level scale, to understand the ability of existing land uses by general type to contain parking demand within off- street parking areas and the use of nearby on- street parking. General surveyed demand will be mapped for each of the monitoring periods, and overlaid with a land use map to be provided by the Client. A review of potential parking conditions for concentrations of mixed -use development will be conducted. The land use density data for the proposed mixed -use areas will be used to create a parking supply requirement matrix by sub -area. The input data will be from GIS mapping /database or spreadsheet files to be provided by the Client. The analyzed sub -areas will be conglomerations of small areas (approximately three to five blocks) that can be used to create strategies for shared parking or parking demand reduction strategies, based on major land uses that could remain for many years into Plan implementation as well as new types of potential new uses. From this exercise, recommended parking requirements will be developed for general types of potential future land uses within the Plan area. Task 9 — Documentation KOA will prepare a draft traffic study report for review and comment by the project team. The report will document the traffic study's approach, methodology. assumptions, findings and recommendations. Based on comments received, KOA will prepare a final version suitable for use by the Client in the Plan and environmental documentation. Responses to Comments KOA will respond to traffic related comments on the Draft EIR, based on numbered comments received from the Client KOA will provide all needed text, figures, and /or tables for the responses. KOA will spend a maximum 20 hours of staff time on this task. Proposal for Traffic Study— Rosemead Garvey Avenue Speck Plan Page 4 Prepared for PMC MB41022 February 24, 2014
