Project Understanding, Overview, and Approach Understanding RECON understands what it takes to provide outstanding on-call environmental planning services to local agencies, particularly the City’s Planning Division. We appreciate this opportunity to continue our work with the City. To further our commitment to the City, we have assembled a team that will excel in meeting the City’s various needs and provide the following services for the City: Assist the City by reviewing and analyzing discretionary applications, CEQA documents, and technical reports; Conduct peer reviews within a two- to three-week period so that the City will be able to meet its 30-day review deadlines; Ensure private and public development projects are in compliance with CEQA requirements; Prepare and/or assist with the preparation of technical surveys and reports; Coordinate with project applicants, other City departments, and/or agencies upon the City’s discretion in order to complete projects in a timely manner; Assist with the preparation for and attendance at public hearings and presentations; Conduct independent research on various land use and planning issues, technical subjects, and/or environmental planning issues, and; Conduct construction and post-construction monitoring on project development sites to meet mitigation and/or restoration requirements. RECON understands the need to be responsive to and supportive of City staff in providing value-added services that will assist the Planning Division with all types of planning and environmental review tasks. EXHIBIT 'A' SCOPE OF SERVICES AND FEE SCHEDULE Docusign Envelope ID: D5DB4D18-2A56-4907-9762-C01461360376 Project Approach for As-Needed Services RECON has proven technical and management procedures in place for optimum efficiency on as-needed contracts, which can be customized as necessary to meet the unique needs of individual clients. Having completed over 100 as-needed contracts and thousands of task orders over the past 20 years, we fully understand the contract needs and quality assurance and schedule control measures required for successful contract execution. This allows us to provide customized service in every stage of the process, from task order development to project initiation through completion. A successful approach to an as-needed contract requires a designated point of contact for all task orders, an understanding of the client’s needs and goals, effective management of all personnel and resources, and a commitment to communication with the client and team members. At RECON, we provide our project managers with the tools and training to be highly efficient and competent on as-needed contracts in order to meet our public agency clients’ needs and serve as an extension of your own staff. The steps below are the foundation of our on-call project management procedures. RECON’s typical project management workflow is illustrated in the following chart. Technical Approach Our multidisciplinary team will address a full range of environmental issues during project planning and design through project approval, implementation, and mitigation. The following table outlines our technical approaches: Task Order Project Initiation Implementation Deliverables Completion •Projectunderstanding •Scope of work •Budget •Schedule •Subs/staffing •Kickoff meeting •Work plandefined •Projectmilestones •Communicationprotocols •Proactivecommunication •Status updates •Depth ofresources •Responsive andsolution-oriented •Technicalreviews •Qualitycontrol •Report &graphicsproduction •Timelysubmittals •Project goalsmet •Defensibledocuments •Agencyapprovalsobtained •Clientsatisfaction Docusign Envelope ID: D5DB4D18-2A56-4907-9762-C01461360376 REC O N ••• V ~ 0 • ~::&"" EE Environmental Planning/Studies RECON Approach Third-Party Peer Reviews RECON’s environmental planners and technical specialists are well-versed in providing third-party peer reviews on a variety of projects. Our standard approach is to perform a thorough read-through of the environmental and/or technical documents, taking into consideration the City’s Informational Bulletin 150, significance thresholds, planning documents and ordinances, and the CEQA Guidelines. For technical reports, our specialists will draw on their understanding of local, state, and federal regulations and protocols specific to their resource topic. We will provide clear and constructive feedback and commentary on the document or report and summarize our general findings in a cover letter. Should concerns arise during our review, we will make these concerns known to the City in a timely matter. Agency Coordination Coordination with City staff and various departments Knowledgeable of City’s procedures, policies, and guidelines for implementing CEQA Interjurisdictional coordination with adjacent jurisdictions and agencies Our professional environmental staff is very knowledgeable in implementing CEQA for public-facing projects that have stakeholder involvement or require concurrence from resource agencies, including the CCC, USACE, Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), CDFW, and USFWS. Our growing regulatory department has first-hand experience working with regulators such as USACE and can provide streamlining advice to jurisdictions and project applicants seeking advice on navigating the review and permitting protocols for these agencies. RECON also has experience leading multiagency planning efforts and coordinating with both public and private stakeholders and has working relationships with adjacent jurisdictions and other municipalities operating in the County, such as the City of Oceanside, City of Encinitas, City of San Marcos, VWD, California State Parks, San Diego Gas & Electric, and SANDAG. For projects that involve Federal Highway Administration funding, RECON also has experience ensuring reports meet the formatting and content requirements for agencies such as Caltrans. Public Hearings & Planning Commission/City Council Support Technical expertise at public meetings RECON environmental planners, biologists, archaeologists, and noise, air quality, and GHS specialists are well versed in supporting public meetings, including Planning Commission and City Council hearings. In addition, Ninyo & Moore, Fehr & Peers, Heritage, and Saving Sacred Sites are all able to provide an additional layer of technical support at these meetings. RECON planners and specialists are especially adept at providing public presentation and outreach skills while maintaining respectful working relationships with municipality and agency staff. Docusign Envelope ID: D5DB4D18-2A56-4907-9762-C01461360376 REC O N ••• --- Environmental Planning/ Studies RECON Approach Environmental IS/Environmental Documentation Experienced with the following type of documents: Categorical Exemptions IS/MND Environmental Impact Report (EIR) MMRP Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) Environmental Assessments (EA) Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) RECON’s environmental analysts have extensive experience preparing multidisciplinary environmental documents under CEQA, NEPA, and related local, state, and federal regulations. Our strong understanding of applicable laws and procedures ensures efficient, accurate, and defensible documentation. When CEQA review is required, RECON works closely with the City to define project scope and determine the appropriate level of environmental documentation. We routinely support clients in applying Categorical Exemptions and preparing Notices of Exemption for maintenance and other exempt activities. For non-exempt projects, we prepare Initial Studies supported by secondary research or project-specific technical analyses. Based on the results, we prepare Negative Declarations, MNDs, or EIRs when impacts cannot be reduced to less than significant. EIRs may address issues such as biological resources, cultural resources, air quality, noise, hydrology, transportation, and other CEQA topic areas identified through project scoping. RECON will also work with City staff to determine appropriate project alternatives for analysis. Following public review, RECON assists the City in preparing responses to comments and finalizing environmental documents, including revisions to the draft and preparation of the MMRP. If federal funding or approval is involved, we can prepare joint CEQA/NEPA documents or standalone NEPA analyses, depending on agency requirements. RECON’s staff has experience preparing EAs, FONSIs, EISs, and a variety of joint CEQA-NEPA documents. Because of our strong understanding of environmental review processes, we are also very adept at preparing concise, clear, and quality peer reviews of CEQA and NEPA documents. Mitigation and Monitoring Plans Biological and cultural resource MMRPs Habitat restoration MMRPs RECON can also prepare, implement, and track an MMRP. The MMRP contains a list of legally defensible mitigation measures and monitoring programs required for each identified significant environmental impact. RECON develops mitigation measures that provide flexibility for changing circumstances and technology while providing a clear implementation trigger and mechanisms for maintaining the effectiveness of the mitigation. RECON’s biological and cultural resource monitors have experience with a variety of public- and private-sector projects. RECON field staff proactively monitor and consult with contractors to help avoid problems before they occur. Our recommendations balance a clear and defensible adherence to the MMRP with the need to proceed Docusign Envelope ID: D5DB4D18-2A56-4907-9762-C01461360376 REC O N Environmental Planning/ Studies RECON Approach with construction on schedule and in accordance with construction plans. Our monitoring team also includes restoration specialists who are experienced in evaluating performance standards for wetland and upland mitigation and providing adaptive management recommendations to ensure project success. Preparation of Technical Studies Cultural resources Air quality/GHG Noise Biological Resources Technical Reports Aquatic Resources Delineations RECON has a team of technical professionals that include archaeologists and historians; air quality and GHG specialists; acousticians; biologists; and wetland, endangered species, and coastal permitting specialists. The technical staff are involved early in the process to identify the proper approach to the evaluation of project effects and possible design measures that can be front-loaded, thereby avoiding or minimizing significant impacts. When design and planning studies are conducted as part of a project, RECON has assisted the local jurisdiction with finding real solutions that can be developed and integrated into implementation plans and programs. Cultural Resources RECON’s cultural resources staff is experienced in field surveys, significance testing, data recovery excavation, documentation of historic resources, historic research, construction monitoring, and Native American consultation, including assistance with Assembly Bill 52 compliance. RECON archaeologists are knowledgeable about CEQA, NEPA, Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act regulations. Staff archaeologists include RPAs and qualified archaeological monitors who have completed surveys and construction monitoring for residential and commercial developments in the City. Air Quality and GHG Analysis With ever-increasing attention and legislation related to air quality and GHG emissions, RECON can provide an evaluation of project construction and operation, incorporating or recommending emission reduction measures to assist the City in meeting and documenting progress toward regional targets. RECON’s air quality and GHG specialists are experienced in evaluating conformance with state and federal criteria pollutant standards and potential increases in criteria air pollutants resulting from public and private development projects and from changes in traffic on roadways. Docusign Envelope ID: D5DB4D18-2A56-4907-9762-C01461360376 REC O N Environmental Planning/ Studies RECON Approach Noise Analysis RECON’s acousticians can also model construction and operation noise based on the City’s noise ordinance. Similar to other services provided by RECON, the team will start with constraints and modeling, complete technical reports, and can also see the project through construction monitoring and compliance. Biological Resources RECON employs one of the largest groups of biologists in southern California, which allows us to provide high-quality and comprehensive biological technical reports. RECON provides third party reviews, biological surveys and monitoring services. Our biologists have strong credentials, including decades of experience writing biological technical reports for public-sector clients, including Carlsbad. We understand the complexities of biological impact analysis and work closely with our GIS staff to ensure accurate and precise data is presented in our reports. We also understand the importance of the City’s Habitat Management Plan in implementing the MHCP and are well-versed in various mitigation ratios, and requirements related to habitat creation versus substantial restoration of impacts to sensitive natural communities. We’ve also worked closely with our sub-consultant Spurlock to develop conceptual restoration plans for public projects in Carlsbad. Aquatic Resources Delineations RECON’s regulatory permitting group specializes in aquatic resources delineations and reports. Our focused regulatory specialists are trained by RECON’s regulatory permitting director, Shanti Santulli, who has reviewed and conducted hundreds of delineations and aquatic resources delineation reports (ARDR) on behalf of USACE during her time as a USACE senior regulator/team lead, during multiple peer reviews as a consultant, and also as a wetland delineation instructor with the Wetland Training Institute. RECON’s regulatory specialists conduct their formal aquatic resources delineations, including wetlands and non-wetland waters, per agency-approved methodologies and guidance including the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, 2008 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (Version 2.0), 2025 National Ordinary High Water Mark Field Delineation Manual for Rivers and Streams, 2024 Stream Duration Assessment Methods for the Arid West and Western Mountains of the United States of America, 2025 USACE Recommended Minimum Standards for Aquatic Resource Delineation Docusign Envelope ID: D5DB4D18-2A56-4907-9762-C01461360376 REC O N Environmental Planning/ Studies RECON Approach Reports (Minimum Standards), and the State Wetland Definition and Procedures for Discharges of Dredged or Fill Material to Waters of the State. CDFW. With RECON’s extensive knowledge of field delineation and ARDR requirements, our staff are well-suited and experienced in conducting peer reviews of ARDRs to ensure these reports meet the agencies needs for efficient review and permitting processes. Agency Permitting RECON has experience with the types of aquatic resource and endangered/threatened species permits and notifications that may be required for City projects. RECON’s regulatory specialists have prepared and processed federal, state, and local permit applications and successfully obtained permits under Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act and Streambed Alteration Agreements from the CDFW under Section 1600 of the California Fish and Game Code. RECON’s long-standing relationships with USACE, CDFW, and the RWQCB are invaluable in processing the regulatory permits in a timely manner. Our regulatory specialists have worked on several on-call contracts and have a practical hands-on understanding of the sensitive species, policies, procedures, and regulations of federal and state resource agencies. Where projects require coordination with additional federal agencies such as USFWS, RECON will ensure that the schedule and regulatory documents meet the necessary requirements to ensure an efficient process. We assist with Section 7 consultations, Section 10(a) incidental take permits, and Section 2081 permits under the federal and state endangered species acts for projects that do not have coverage through a Natural Communities Conservation Plan. Biological Surveys Surveys in accordance with: City’s Guidelines for Biological Studies Habitat Management Plan for Natural Communities in the City RECON biologists have experience in conducting general biological resource surveys within the City and throughout southern California. All biological resources are surveyed and evaluated in accordance with the City of Carlsbad’s Guidelines for Biological Studies (2008) and the Habitat Management Plan for Natural Communities in the City of Carlsbad (2004). RECON biologists also have the necessary permits and experience for conducting surveys for HMP covered species, including (but not limited to) San Diego fairy shrimp, Riverside fairy shrimp, burrowing owl, coastal California gnatcatcher, least Bell’s vireo, and rare plants. Most of our biologists hold ESA recovery permits from the USFWS and/or scientific collecting permits from the CDFW allowing us to provide specialized surveys for these and other threatened and endangered species. Docusign Envelope ID: D5DB4D18-2A56-4907-9762-C01461360376 REC O N Environmental Planning/ Studies RECON Approach Biological Monitoring Identification and inventories of biological resources Long-term management of conserved open spaces RECON has provided and continues to provide restoration planning and implementation services throughout the City under several contracts, both with the City and with private clients. RECON implemented and is now maintaining the habitat mitigation for the Poinsettia 61 development, which includes onsite mitigation areas within an approximately 35-acre onsite preserve, and offsite mitigation areas at the City-owned Aviara Park and Veterans Park. RECON also implemented and is now maintaining a mitigation project within the Carlsbad Oaks North preserve; the mitigation is associated with the Santianna Senior Living facility. Additionally, RECON provides preserve management and monitoring services for The Ranch HOA, which includes quarterly monitoring visits and as-needed targeted invasive species control. Finally, RECON was contracted by the City to prepare the mitigation plan for the Veterans Memorial Park project. As part of these projects, RECON regularly coordinates with the City’s Environmental Sustainability Department, the City’s Park and Recreation Department, and with several of the City’s preserve managers, including the San Diego Habitat Conservancy and the Center for Natural Lands Management. Several of RECON’s projects were featured during the City’s HMP annual meeting in 2025. Sustainability Research Greenhouse gas inventories Climate Action Plans RECON’s expertise has been sought after on master plans, general plans, transportation plans, roadway and bridge improvements, and other sustainable community strategies. RECON specialists have prepared program-level GHG analysis for a variety of planning documents in the southern California region that include emission inventories, GHG emission calculations, and an analysis of GHG reduction measures and plan consistency. RECON has also prepared project-level GHG analyses within the City to include construction and operational GHG emission calculations as well as preparation of the City’s CAP Consistency Checklist, which was most recently revised in 2024. Docusign Envelope ID: D5DB4D18-2A56-4907-9762-C01461360376 REC O N Project Management Approach Ms. Boyer will serve as Contract Manager and primary point of contact for this on-call environmental services contract. With extensive experience supporting public agencies, including the City with our existing contract, Ms. Boyer brings strong environmental planning expertise, a clear understanding of local priorities, and excellent communication and critical-thinking skills. She will provide attentive, responsive project management and maintain consistent coordination with City’s contract administrator and planning staff throughout each task order. Ms. Spar will serve as the Technical Advisor, ensuring appropriate staffing, providing senior-level technical oversight, and leading Quality Assurance (QA)/Quality Control (QC) for all deliverables. She will support strategic decision-making and confirm that each task is completed within its authorized scope, schedule, and budget. Ms. Boyer and Ms. Spar will be supported by RECON’s team of project managers, technical specialists, and trusted subconsultants, enabling the City to access fully integrated environmental services as an extension of City staff. Before task order preparation, Ms. Boyer and Ms. Spar will coordinate with City staff to confirm project needs, priorities, and expected outcomes. For each task order, Ms. Boyer will prepare a detailed scope, schedule, and cost estimate for City review, relying on RECON’s in-house and subconsultant technical expertise to ensure compliance with City, state, and federal environmental requirements. Once a task begins, Ms. Boyer will convene a kickoff meeting to confirm communication protocols, refine scope, establish the project schedule, and identify any data needs. She will maintain regular check-ins with the project team to track milestones, discuss emerging issues, and develop timely solutions to avoid delays. Task managers will be assigned based on the nature and complexity of each task order. For larger efforts, additional technical specialists may support the task manager. Support staff will be assigned to field work, GIS, graphics, and report preparation to ensure all deliverables progress efficiently and concurrently. As the Contract Manager, Ms. Boyer will coordinate with the task managers to maintain close communication with the City through calls, emails, virtual meetings, and progress updates. Any changes to the scope of work will be discussed with and approved by the City prior to implementation. Assumptions for City-Provided Services RECON looks forward to maintaining a collaborative and communicative partnership with the City, working closely with staff to ensure all environmental needs are fully met. With the combined expertise of our in-house specialists and trusted subconsultants, we provide comprehensive, full-service support across all tasks. As part of this partnership, we rely on the City to facilitate certain administrative responsibilities, such as publishing, processing, and printing public notices for environmental documents, while we focus on delivering high-quality technical work and responsive project management.
