2018-11-27; City Council; ; A professional services agreement with RJM Design Group for design services on Veterans Memorial Park, in an amount not-to-exceed $398,200
CA Review f±/"-- ~ CITY COUNCIL V Staff Report Meeting Date: To: From: Staff Contact: Subject: November 27, 2018 Mayor and City Council Scott Chadwick, City Manager Kyle Lancaster, Park Services Manager kyle.lancaster@carlsbadca.gov or 760-434-2941 A professional services agreement with RJM Design Group for design services on Veterans Memorial Park, in an amount not-to-exceed $398,200 Recommended Action Adopt a Resolution authorizing a professional services agreement with RJM Design Group for design services on Veterans Memorial Park, in an amount not-to-exceed $398,200 for a two-year term; and appropriating $198,200 in additional funds from the Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 1 Fund. Executive Summary On Aug. 13, 2018, staff released a Request for Qualifications and Price Proposal for Design Services on Veterans Memorial Park. The request included a scope of work divided into five phases typically associated with such professional design services. All design firms submitting responses to the request for Design Services on Veterans Memorial Park were asked to include a two-item Price Proposal: [1] a detailed cost of services through the first phase of design services, and [2] an hourly billing rates sheet for team members of the disciplines related to the subsequent four phases of design services. RJM Design Group's detailed cost of services through the first phase was the lowest of the three finalist design firms, and its hourly billing rates were competitive with that of the other two finalist design firms. Per Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.060.A.1, the City Council shall be the awarding authority for procurement of services and professional services for which the cost to the city is more than $100,000.00 per agreement year. Discussion Staff annually monitors compliance with the Carlsbad Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan via a Growth Management Monitoring Report. If the performance standards are not met within a specific planning area (referred to as Local Facility Management Zones), no new development may be approved in that area until the standards are met, or until satisfactory arrangements have been made to guarantee the facilities and improvements. The parks performance standard is three acres of community parks or special use areas per 1,000 population within the park district. There are four park districts within Carlsbad, which November 27, 2018 Item #2 Page 1 of 38 correspond to the city's quadrants. If the service level is not met due to population increase within a given quadrant, the city is required to schedule a park for construction within five years, beginning at the time the need is identified, but beginning no sooner than August 22, 2017 (City Council Resolution No. 2017-170). The phrase "scheduled for construction" means [a] the park site has been selected and has been or is being acquired by the city, [b] the improvements for the park site have been designed, and [c] a financing plan for construction of the park has been approved by the City Council (City Council Resolution No. 97-435). To date, the inventory of parks acreage exceeds the parks performance standard acreage needed, except for 6.6 acres in the southwest quadrant, and 2.2 acres in the southeast quadrant. These two quadrants, however, are currently compliant with the parks performance standard, as the five-year period noted above does not conclude until Aug. 21, 2022. The scheduling of Veterans Memorial Park for construction will address the parks performance standard in all city quadrants (park districts). Pursuant to the Carlsbad Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the 91.5 acre Veterans Memorial Park site will equally count toward satisfying the parks performance standard in all city quadrants (i.e., 22.875 acres applied to each city quadrant). Because of this community park's size and central location, it is intended to serve as a regional recreation source. The methodology of applying a quarter of the Veterans Memorial Park acreage to each city quadrant was also included within the update to the Carlsbad General Plan, approved by the City Council on Sept. 22, 2015 (City Council Resolution No. 2015-042). The construction of Veterans Memorial Park does not preclude the city from pursuing potential land acquisitions and/or park development projects elsewhere within the city's boundaries. Thus far, the city has [a] acquired the Veterans Memorial Park site, [b] set aside $200,000 in the FY 2018-19 CIP Budget to initiate master planning on the park site, and [c] set aside approximately $23,000,000 in the CIP Budget for construction of the park. CFD No. 1 was established in 1991, creating a special tax lien on vacant properties throughout the city. The purpose of this CFD was to finance the construction of specific public facilities of citywide obligation and benefit, including Veterans Memorial Park. The funds from the district cannot be used for facilities other than those specified at the time the district was formed. The scheduling of Veterans Memorial Park for construction will result in the parks inventory for all city quadrants exceeding the projected needed acreage at buildout, as shown below. City Buildout Parks Acreage Parks Acreage Parks Acreage Parks Acreage Quadrant Population Projected Need Current Parks Veterans Park Projected Parks NW 38,606 115.8 105.2 22.875 128.075 NE 22,488 67.5 45.3 22.875 68.175 SW 28,113 84.3 70.2 22.875 93.075 SE 42,315 126.9 114.9 22.875 137.775 Total 131,523 394.6 335.6 91.5 427.1 November 27, 2018 Item #2 Page 2 of 38 The program for Veterans Memorial Park will be developed via a public outreach process and may include active and passive recreation amenities, open space interpretive areas, public art, trails, utilities, parking lots, restrooms, and maintenance facilities. On Aug. 13, 2018, staff released a Request for Qualifications and Price Proposal for Design Services on Veterans Memorial Park. The request included a Scope of Work divided into the following five phases typically associated with such professional design services: 1. Master Planning Phase a. Project Start-Up b. Topographic Survey C. Geotechnical Report d. Site Analysis e. Community Outreach f. Schematic Design Alternatives g. Cultural Arts & Public Art h. Final Design Concept i. Estimate of Probable Costs 2. Design Development Phase a. Design Development Drawings b. Outline Specifications C. Basis of Design d. Grading and Drainage Plans e. Estimate of Construction Costs f. Project Schedule g. Renderings and Materials Boards 3. Construction Document Phase a. Construction Drawings b. Contract Documents and Supplemental Provisions Manual c. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) d. Estimate of Construction Cost e. Final Plan Check 4. Contract Bidding Phase 5. Construction Administration Phase On Sept. 20, 2018, the following twelve design firms submitted a response to the Request for Qualifications and Price Proposal: Design Firm Design Firm ASR Landscape Architecture MIG Design Workshop RHA Landscape Architects-Planners Domus Studio Architecture RJM Design Group Dudek RRM Design Group Estrada Land Planning Schmidt Design Group KTUA SWA Group November 27, 2018 Item #2 Page 3 of 38 Design Workshop's response was excluded from consideration due to a conflict of interest identified by staff. A member of Design Workshop's sub-consultant team also serves on an advisory committee for the city. Because of this fact, the city cannot legally enter into a contract with Design Workshop. Specifically, Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.15.030(A)(2) states, in part: In addition to any qualifications or limitations imposed by law or contained in the authorizing ordinance or resolution for any specific board or commission, members of the boards and commission must meet the following minimum qualifications: .. Not currently an officer of or employed by the City of Carlsbad or under contract with the City of Carlsbad. The remaining eleven design firm's qualifications were reviewed and ranked by a four member selection committee of Parks Division staff, using the following weighted evaluation system: Evaluation Criteria Points Specialized Experience, Technical Competence, References & Past Performance 45 Capacity to Accomplish Work in the Required Time 25 Personnel Assigned 25 Location/Local Environment 5 Total Points 100 The following six design firms with the highest combined ranking qualifications were invited to provide a presentation on the project and the proposed services, and to respond to questions from the selection committee: Design Firm Design Firm ASR Landscape Architecture RRM Design Group KTUA Schmidt Design Group RJM Design Group SWA Group Based on the presentations and responses, three design firms were selected as finalists to be considered for entering into a professional services agreement: KTUA, RJM Design Group, and RRM Design Group. The selection committee later sought and received clarifying information on the submitted Scope of Work/Price Proposal of RJM Design Group and RRM Design Group. All design firms submitting responses to the request for Design Services on Veterans Memorial Park were to include a two-item price proposal: [1] a detailed cost of services through the first phase of design services -i.e., Master Planning, and [2] an hourly billing rates sheet for team members of the disciplines related to the subsequent four phases of design services, i.e., Design Development, Construction Document, Contract Bidding and Construction Administration. RJM Design Group's detailed cost of services through the Master Planning Phase was the lowest of the three finalist design firms, at $388,200. The Master Planning Phase is anticipated to require approximately two years to complete. The selection committee is recommending the inclusion of $10,000 for Additional as Needed Services to the agreement. Therefore, the total not-to-exceed amount of the proposed two-year term agreement is $398,200. The proposed November 27, 2018 Item #2 Page 4 of 38 agreement also contains three optional two-year term extensions, intended to allow for the completion of the subsequent four phases of design services. RJM Design Group's hourly billing rates for team members of the disciplines related to those four phases of design services was competitive with that of the other two finalist design firms. Although the selection committee took the price proposals of the finalist design firms into consideration when making its recommendation, the city is not obligated to enter into a professional services agreement with a design firm based strictly upon the lowest submitted cost of services and hourly billing rates. The above noted weighted evaluation system and presentation/response process allowed the selection committee to recommend the design firm it considered to be the best qualified to provide the requested services, at a reasonable price. Fiscal Analysis The City Council has set aside $200,000 in the FY 2018-19 CIP Budget to initiate master planning on the Veterans Memorial Park site. Staff is recommending appropriating $198,200 in additional funds from the CFD No. 1 Fund for the two-year term of the proposed professional services agreement. Sufficient funds are available in the CFD No. 1 fund for this request. Appropriations for any term extensions will be addressed in future CIP Budget requests. Next Steps Staff will schedule a kick-off meeting with RJM Design Group to commence the subject services. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA) Authorizing a professional services agreement for design services on a future park is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per CEQA Guidelines Section 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies). However, the preparation of a master plan for Veterans Memorial Park will include the completion of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration to determine the level of environmental review required to implement that plan. Public Notification This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public viewing and review at least 72 hours prior to the scheduled meeting date. Exhibits 1.

Upon notification of termination, Contractor has five (5) business days to deliver any documents owned by City and all work in progress to City address contained in this Agreement. City will make a determination of fact based upon the work product delivered to City and of the percentage of work that Contractor has performed which is usable and of worth to City in having the Agreement completed. Based upon that finding City will determine the final payment of the Agreement. Either party upon tendering thirty (30) days written notice to the other party may terminate this Agreement. In this event and upon request of City, Contractor will assemble the work product and put it in order for proper filing and closing and deliver it to City.

Prepare Geological Mapping of potential Landslides based on a Geologist walking the site area and documenting the results of the site/visual observations. Traffic -Prepare a Traffic Study based on the following assumptions. • 50 acre park -250 daily trips, 33 AM-Morning/23 PM-Afternoon peak hour trips (neighborhood /county park-undeveloped from SANDAG) Wet and Dry Utilities-Review available documents to determine available wet/dry utilities serving the site area. These include: sewer, water storm drain, electrical, telephone, cable, and telecommunications. 1.6 Conduct visual site analysis of existing site conditions including topography, drainage, physical limitations, utilities, trail connections, vegetation, circulation, external influences, access, view corridors, and adjacent activities and property relationships. 1.7 Conduct cultural resources and biological resources constraints analysis include literature reviews, and site surveys. • Cultural Resources: Psomas will conduct a literature review, including a review of the findings of a records search through the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) database at the South Coastal Information Center (SCIC) housed at the campus of San Diego State University (SDSU). The records search will review relevant previously recorded cultural resources and previous investigations completed for the ½-mile search radius surrounding the project site. Information to be reviewed will include location maps for all previously recorded cultural resources, previously conducted investigation boundaries, National Archaeological Database (NADB) citations and copies for associated reports, historic maps, and historic addresses. Psomas will also review properties listed on/as the California Points of Historical Interest (CPHI), California Historical Landmarks (CHL), Caltrans Historic Highway Bridge Inventory, California Historical Resources Inventory, local city and county registries of historic properties, the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR), and the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Additional sources of information that may be reviewed include but are not limited to Certified Local Government annual reports and other data, HABS/HAER records, the National Register Information System, the on-line database for National Register sites, Calisphere Digital Resources, Online Archive of California, Government Land Office Plat Maps, Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, local historical societies and libraries, as well as inventory files and data on-file with other agencies that control property near the area. The task will also include a search for potential prehistoric and/or historic burials (human remains) evident in previous site records and/or historical maps (i.e., Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, Government Land Office Plat Maps). In addition to the above research, a request to the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) will be submitted for a review of their sacred land files (SLF). This search will identify if any resources important to Native Americans have been recorded within the project area and surrounding vicinity. Using the list of affiliated tribal representatives from NAHC, Psomas will send out informal consultation letters. Note that City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18 11 November 27, 2018 Item #2 Page 21 of 38 this consultation does not satisfy the lead agency's requirements under Assembly Bill (AB) 52. Psomas will also request a paleontological records search and literature review for the project area, including a ½-mile radius buffer, from the Natural History Museum (NHM) of Los Angeles County's Vertebrate Paleontology Section or from the San Diego Museum of Man. The review will include the geological formations underlying the project site; the range of known fossil types and localities in the vicinity; the potential to adversely affect fossil resources; and recommendations for mitigating any adverse effects to a level of less than significant. Currently, the NHM estimates 2 to 3 weeks from the date of request to receive a paleontological records search. Psomas will complete a systematic survey of the project area (approximately 49 acres). The cultural resources survey will be conducted in accordance with the professional standards as described by the National Parks Service, Secretary of Interior's Standards and Guidelines, as amended for Archaeology and Historic Preservation. Psomas cultural resources specialist will survey the project area for the presence of: o Prehistoric artifacts (e.g., flaked stone tools) o Tool-making debris, stone milling tools o Historic artifacts (e.g., metal, glass, ceramics) o Sediment discoloration that might indicate the presence of a cultural midden o Depressions and other features indicative of the former presence of structures or buildings (e.g., post holes, foundations) o Historic buildings, structures, or objects The Fee Estimate assumes two cultural resource specialists from Psomas will complete the survey within one 10-hour day and assumes no resources will be found during the survey. No site recordation, site evaluation, data recovery, and/or monitoring is included in this Scope of Work. Psomas will summarize the results of the literature search and field survey to inform preparation of the Master Plan . • Biological Resources Constraints Assessment: A literature review will be conducted to determine the species that have been identified as special status by federal, State, and local resources agencies and organizations that have a potential to occur on the project site or in its immediate vicinity. Sources to be reviewed include ( 1) special status species lists from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS); (2) database searches of the Jepson Online Interchange for California Floristics, the CDFW's California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), and the CNPS' Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants; (3) the most recent Federal Register listing package and critical habitat determination for each federally listed Endangered or Threatened species potentially occurring on the project site; (4) the CDFW Annual Report on the status of California's listed Threatened and Endangered plants and animals; and (5) biological resource documents relative to the City of Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan (HMP). Upon completion of the literature review, Psomas will conduct a general walk-over survey to identify and map the extent and distribution of vegetation types on and adjacent to the City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18 12 November 27, 2018 Item #2 Page 22 of 38 project site, including any special status vegetation types. An assessment of the potential for special status plant species to occur will be compiled based upon observations and field notes taken during the survey. The survey will also document existing wildlife use of the project site, including an assessment of the potential for special status wildlife species to occur. Any special status plant or wildlife species observed will be reported to the CNDDB. In addition, a jurisdictional delineation will be conducted onsite for the potential presence of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE), CDFW, and California Coastal Commission jurisdictional resources. Following completion of the survey, a Memorandum will be written to briefly describe the results of the literature review and site visit. The Memorandum will describe (1) the methodology used to conduct the biological survey; (2) a general description of the existing biological resources on the project site; (3) the potential of the project site to support special status biological resources; and (4) potential project constraints or significant impacts to biological resources. Psomas will provide the City with one electronic draft of the Memorandum for use in preparing the Master Plan. Please Note: Focused surveys for special status plant ($3000) and wildlife species ($3000) are included in this Scope of Work but shall only be provided if deemed necessary following initial site assessment work. The documentation of the above survey effort will make recommendations for additional surveys that would be required based on the concerns of state and federal resource agencies and the and the potential for special status species to occur on the project site based on the presence of suitable habitat. These additional focused surveys shall be discussed with the City and approved prior to the work being performed. 1.8 Review City's Hillside Ordinance and Hillside Development Guidelines Manual, Coastal Development (CDP) and Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Meet with City Planner to discuss and identify opportunities and constraints related to the Hillside Development Ordinance, CDP, and CUP processes. 1.9 Prepare an overall site area Opportunity and Constraints exhibit. 1.10 Prepare for and conduct site tour with City staff of other "built" park facilities/projects to generally become familiar with desired facilities/ treatments/ relationships. We anticipate two (2) full day tour days of nearby projects that represent the vision, facilities and goals identified for the Veterans Memorial Park. 1.11 Programming Criteria summary shall be reviewed/approved by City and shall be part of the information sharing with the Community at the "Morning in the Park" Workshop #1. 1.12 Meet with the City including the Cultural Arts Manager to discuss the opportunity to integrate Arts & Culture into the vision for the park. The goal is to also review the list of "preliminary" program criteria and the appropriate application/selection process for local artists to become involved. Our previous experience of integrating Culture & Art into the fabric of our public spaces include the incorporation of performance venues (amphitheaters, bandstands, stage, and multi-use plaza areas) as well as design features that are inspired by appropriate metaphors, history, public art, murals, lighting as well as other forms of visually creative expression including the incorporation of specialized interpretive/educational elements. Through this experience we have learned the value of integrating the selected artist(s) into the collaborative design team early in the design City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18 13 November 27, 2018 Item #2 Page 23 of 38 _The steps involved with this workshop are suggested as follows: • Questionnaire: Prepare draft questionnaire for the Community Workshop. • Prepare Site Awareness Presentation from mapping developed in task one. • Conduct Amenities Charrette Workshop. RJM will facilitate an amenities workshop to discuss the likes, dislikes, issues, and desired features/ideas with the community. Input received from this meeting will be reviewed with the City, clarified as necessary and incorporated into the Conceptual Plans. 2.2 Commence preparation of (2-3) preliminary design studies that reflect the preliminary program elements identified by the City. Refine and enhance the various elements, building components and site relationships outlined in the summary of program elements/features approved by the City. 2.3 Prepare for and attend a collaborative design meeting with City and team members, including the selected artist(s) to review preliminary design studies, and to discuss suggested refinements. Note: Confirm strategy and schedule with City for public engagement sessions to provide opportunities for discussion on public art prior to formal concept development. 2.4 Continue preparation of "refinements" to preliminary design studies to refine and enhance the various site elements, building components, and opportunities for public art as outlined above. 2.5 Prepare and review with City staff the PowerPoint presentation and support exhibits for a public presentation to the Community (Workshop #2). Conduct Workshop #2 with the Community and solicit their input on the preliminary design studies. 2.6 Team members shall prepare refinements to the preliminary design studies based on Community comments and City direction and commence preparation of "Draft" Master Plan and Pattern Book that includes: Basis of Design, Graphics and illustrations supporting the design theme, park elements and design approach. 2. 7 Prepare and review with City staff the "Refined" PowerPoint presentation and support exhibits for presentation to the Community (Workshop #3). Conduct Workshop 3 with the Community and solicit their input on the "refined" preliminary design studies. 2.8 Team members shall prepare refinements to the preliminary design studies based on Community comments and City direction. 2.9 Prepare for and attend presentation to the Cultural Arts and solicit their input on the preliminary design studies. 2.10 Prepare for and attend presentation to Parks and Recreation Commission and solicit their input on the preliminary design studies. At the conclusion of this meeting it is our goal to have the Commission indicate their preference as to their most desired of the preliminary design studies. 2.11 Prepare for and attend presentation to the City Council to provide an overview of the process, various plan options, solicit their input and confirm their preference as to the City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18 15 November 27, 2018 Item #2 Page 25 of 38 2.24 Compile the Master Plan and Pattern Book and review with City staff. Book includes: Preliminary Landscape Plan, Site Plan, Grading Plan, Basis of design and design approach, Slope Analysis, Slope Profiles, Preliminary Hydrology Study and SWMP, and required documents and submittal items for the Hillside Development Permit Application. Submit Master Plan and Pattern Book to City for review and approval. Respond to comments as required to obtain approval. This scope of work does not include the preparation of Building Plans and Elevations. However, if the selected site plan requires preparation of Building Plan and Elevations, this can be provided subject to a contract amendment. 2.25 Develop and coordinate a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) application for the project in compliance with Chapter 21.201, Coastal Development Permit Procedures, of the City's Municipal Code. The RJM Team will complete the CDP application form and required appendices based on information provided by the City. Such information includes the project description (including construction methods and equipment), assessor's parcel numbers for surrounding land owners, names of neighboring property owners and occupants, and wet signatures on the CDP application form. RJM will provide one (1) electronic copy of the draft CDP application for review by the City. One (1) round of comments will be incorporated into the final CDP application document. Coordination with the City after the permit application is submitted may include response to requests for additional information to clarify project data. It is assumed that additional information is readily available at the time of the request and that such information would not require substantial modification to the existing project description. If any substantive changes to the project description occur after submission of the application, a new permit application package may be required. Filing Fees: The permit application must be accompanied by an application. Filing fees are based on the total project cost, project type, and/or project area characteristics. Fee costs will be determined by RJM during the application preparation period and will be paid for by the City. 2.26 Resubmit a revised application if the City requests additional information. A notice of pending Local Development Permit will be provided to the City for posting at the project site. The City reviews application. 2.27 Prepare for and attend presentation to the Planning Commission to provide an overview of the process, and present the Design Concept/Master Plan summary. 2.28 Prepare for and attend presentation to the City Council to provide an overview of the process, and present the Design Concept/Master Plan summary. 2.29 Preparation of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negated Declaration (IS/MND) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A. Environmental Documentation The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process would be initiated following selection of the Final Design Concept for Veterans Memorial Park. Without information regarding the types and location of uses that will be identified in the Master Plan, it is difficult to determine what the potential impacts may be and the appropriate type of environmental document that should be prepared to comply with CEQA. Based on input provided by the City, this Scope of Work and associated Fee Estimate assume an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) will be prepared. If it is subsequently determined that the project may have significant impacts that cannot be City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18 18 November 27, 2018 Item #2 Page 28 of 38 avoided, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be required. Psomas can prepare an EIR subject to a contract amendment. 1. Project Initiation for the Environmental Process Psomas will attend a kick-off meeting with the City and Project Team members to discuss the project plans; identify information needs and potential issues; discuss the approach to preparing the IS/MND; and to review the overall project schedule. Psomas will provide a data needs list requesting information related to project construction and operations that is needed for the environmental analyses. Psomas will also conduct a site visit to document the existing conditions at the site and in the surrounding area. We assume that the City will arrange for access to the site, if necessary. 2. Technical Analyses The following technical analyses will be conducted by Psomas and incorporated into the IS/MND: • Air Quality Analysis Psomas will conduct an air quality analysis to evaluate the potential air quality impacts of the proposed future park development. Psomas will use information provided as part of the data needs request and the traffic study to calculate criteria pollutant emissions using the latest California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). Significance thresholds for air quality will be based on those used in the City's General Plan Update. These thresholds are based on the San Diego Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD) Rule 20.2. Regional emissions generated by the proposed recreational land use will be accounted for primarily based on vehicular and energy related emissions. A qualitative assessment of traffic congestion at intersections affected by the project will be performed to determine if the implementation of the project would cause or contribute to a local carbon monoxide (CO) "hotspot". It is not anticipated that a CO hotspot would occur, and no dispersion modeling of roadway vehicles is included in this Scope of Work for the CO analysis. Additionally, the analysis will include a determination of conformity with the SDAPCD's Regional Air Quality Strategy. If potential significant impacts are identified, Psomas will recommend appropriate mitigation measures. The results of this analysis will be incorporated into the Air Quality section of the IS, with modeling output included in the appendix. o Biological Resources Technical Report Following completion of the Master Plan and identification of physical impact areas, a Biological Resources Technical Report (BTR) will be prepared according to requirements outlined in the City of Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan. Information gathered in during preparation of the biological constraints assessment above (i.e., literature review, vegetation mapping, delineation) shall be utilized for the preparation of the BTR. As required, the BTR will include the following information: Cover page Summary of Findings Introduction o Project location City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18 19 November 27, 2018 Item #2 Page 29 of 38 o Project description o Graphics showing regional location, location with respect to HMP boundaries, and project study area with boundaries Methods and Survey Limitations o Background literature and Geographic Information System data search o Field survey methods Results (quantification of existing conditions) o Vegetation community descriptions o Inventory of plants and wildlife o Sensitive species -locations and number of individuals o Sensitive habitats -location and acres o Jurisdictional wetlands o Wildlife movement corridors o Graphics showing sensitive resources and project boundary Evaluation of Project Impacts o Quantification of impacts to vegetation communities and jurisdictional resources o Analysis of impacts to sensitive species (incl. potentially occurring) and habitat o Quantification of permanent and temporary impacts o Evaluation of significant and non-significant impacts o Evaluation of local and regional significance of the loss of species or habitat o Evaluation of impacts to wildlife movement corridors Mitigation Measures o General mitigation measures to avoid or reduce potential impacts o Measures to reduce the significant impacts to below a level of significance o Mitigation requirements for Coastal Zone or Standards Areas o Adjacency standards o In lieu fees o Habitat mitigation • Required habitat mitigation ratios per HMP • Ratios for mitigation habitat that is created or restored (as opposed to existing) • Mitigation habitat (on or off-site) must be determined prior to project approval • Acreage and potential location of creation/restoration mitigation habitat o Mitigation requirements for jurisdictional resources (wetlands and waters) o Species-specific mitigation requirements • Listed species • Narrow endemic species • Covered species • Nesting migratory birds or raptors o Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18 20 November 27, 2018 Item #2 Page 30 of 38 This scope assumes that the administrative draft BTR will be submitted to the City along with the administrative draft IS. • Cultural Resources Assessment Following completion of the Master Plan and identification of physical impact areas, Psomas will prepare a technical report which incorporates information compiled for the Master Plan support effort, identifies potential impacts and mitigation measures (if required), and incorporates site photos and references. This scope assumes that the administrative draft report will be submitted to the City along with the administrative draft IS. This Scope of Work and Fee Estimate assumes that the City will conduct project notification and consultation with Native American tribes, as required by Assembly Bill 52. Psomas can assist with this effort, if requested by the City, subject to a contract amendment. • Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Analysis As part of the data needs request, Psomas will request available information on construction and operational data, including anticipated demands for electricity and water; Psomas will calculate GHG pollutant emissions associated with the construction and operations of the proposed park development. The method of assessing significance for quantitative GHG emissions will be based on criteria established by the City. Significance will also be assessed by considering whether implementation of the project would conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs, including State, regional, and the City's Climate Action Plan (CAP) and Community Vision on Sustainability. Psomas will evaluate potential climate change impacts based on Section 5.3 -Project Review Thresholds and Checklist of the CAP. This portion of the CAP allows for a streamlined review of projects under CEQA. If potential significant impacts are identified, Psomas will recommend appropriate mitigation measures. The results of this analysis will be incorporated into the Greenhouse Gas Emissions section of the IS, with modeling output included in the appendix. • Noise and Vibration Analysis Psomas will conduct a noise and vibration analysis to determine whether construction and operational activities would be in compliance with the City's General Plan Noise Element and the Municipal Code. Ambient noise levels would be based on projections provided within the City's noise element and no ambient noise measurements are proposed. The project has the potential for noise and vibration impacts at the multifamily residential uses located to the north of the project site. Construction activities are anticipated to primarily involve off-road equipment and power tools used for site preparation and building construction . Noise and vibration produced during the construction phases will be evaluated against standards developed by the City, State, and the federal agencies. Operational phase noise will be based on projected traffic volumes on local streets and active recreation activities. The project site is located in the vicinity of the McClellan-Palomar Airport. The Airport Noise Compatibility Policy for the City, as analyzed in the Noise Element, will be used to determine potential noise impacts at the project site. If potential significant City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18 21 November 27, 2018 Item #2 Page 31 of 38 impacts are identified, Psomas will recommend appropriate mitigation measures to lessen or eliminate the noise or vibration impacts. The results of this analysis will be incorporated into the Noise section of the IS, with technical data included in the appendix. 3. Administrative Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Psomas will prepare the administrative draft IS/MND using the City's checklist form or other approved format, and a Notice of Intent to Adopt an MND. The IS will contain project information and a project description; the location of the project site, a description of the environmental setting and surrounding land uses, a discussion of the environmental setting, an identification of the potential environmental effects of the project, and, a discussion of any required mitigation measures. For the topical issues addressed in Task 2 (air quality, biological resources, cultural resources and tribal cultural resources, GHG emissions, and noise), Psomas will summarize the results of the analyses in the IS/MND. Additionally, the following IS/MND sections will be based on technical reports being provided by others: • geology and soils • hazards and hazardous materials • hydrology and water quality (prepared by Psomas as part of IA, above) • traffic and utilities and service systems • traffic Because of the lack of agricultural and forestry resources and mineral resources at the project site, and because the proposed project would not impact existing housing or generate new residents (population and housing), there would be no impact for these topical issues; this will be documented in the IS/MND. Following is Psomas' Scope of Work for conducting the analysis for the remaining topical issues: • Aesthetics. Impacts associated with changes in the visual characteristics of the site and surrounding areas due to construction of the park improvements will be discussed. The analysis will focus on site improvements that will be publicly visible and off-site improvements on public rights-of-way and visible from the Pacific View Apartments to the north and northwest and the single- family homes to the northeast. Any new light sources will also be identified. However, this Scope of Work does not include visual simulations, a lighting study, or shade and shadow analysis. Mitigation to reduce significant adverse impacts will be developed, as necessary. • Land Use and Planning. Psomas will describe the existing surrounding land uses based on the site visit under Task 1; review of aerial photographs; and information in the City's land use plan and other land use regulations. Psomas will analyze the consistency of the project with relevant planning documents, including the Carlsbad General Plan, the City's zoning code and other development regulations, and the City's Habitat Management Plan. • Public Services and Recreation. Psomas will coordinate with local service providers to assess potential impacts to police and fire protection services. Because the proposed project involves development of a park and associated City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18 22 November 27, 2018 Item #2 Page 32 of 38 recreational facilities, the IS/MND in its entirety would address the potential impacts from construction and operation of the park. The proposed project does not involve the development of residential uses and would not increase the demand for schools or libraries; this will be identified in the IS/MND. • Utilities and Service Systems. The IS/MND will use relevant information developed as part of the Master Plan phase related to the size and location of existing utilities and the ability of these utilities to serve the project. Psomas will qualitatively address impacts related to solid waste generation, based on an estimate of waste generation by the project and review of available capacities at nearby landfills. Upon completion, the administrative draft IS/MND will be submitted electronically to the City for review and comment. 4. Approval Draft and Public Review Draft IS/MND Upon receipt of comments from the City, Psomas will revise the IS/MND and submit the approval draft IS/MND to the City for review and approval to finalize the document. The Scope of Work assumes that the City's comments on the approval draft will be minimal and editorial in nature and will not require substantial revisions or new analysis. If additional unanticipated screen check reviews of the IS/MND are required as a result of substantial changes (e.g., changes in the Project Description) or if new analyses are requested by the City, a contract amendment may be necessary. Psomas will be responsible for preparing the Notice of Completion (NOC), as well as for reproducing and distributing the IS/MND for a 30-day public review period. Psomas will send out by overnight mail up to 40 copies of the NOi and the IS/MND on CDs, which will include 15 NOls and CDs to the State Clearinghouse. Psomas will also file the NOi with the County Clerk. It is assumed that the City will be responsible for posting the NOi and IS/MND files on the City's website; for publication of the NOi in a newspaper of local circulation; and/or for posting the NOi on the project site. 5. Responses to Comments and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program The decision-making body of the Lead Agency must consider the proposed IS/MND together with any comments received during the public review process. Preparation of written responses to comments are not required; however, it is common practice for responses to comments to be prepared. Upon completion of the 30-day public review period, Psomas will review all comments received on the IS/MND and will coordinate with the City on the approach to preparing the responses to comments. Psomas will prepare written responses to comments received; however, it is assumed that other team members will prepare responses for comments addressing their area of expertise. Draft responses to comments will be electronically submitted to the City for review and comment. This proposal assumes a total of 25 hours of technical staff time (Psomas Environmental) will be needed to develop adequate responses. If additional effort is necessary to prepare legally adequate responses (due to the number of comments received or due to legal counsel involvement), Psomas will notify RJM and the City and a contract amendment may be required. Upon receipt of comments from the City on the draft response to comments, Psomas will revise the responses accordingly and the document will be resubmitted for final approval. In compliance with Section 21081.6 of the California Public Resources Code, City Attorney Approved Version 6/12/18 23 November 27, 2018 Item #2 Page 33 of 38 Psomas will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the project, using the City's standard format. The MMRP will provide the timing and entity responsible for each mitigation measure and will include the City department or individual responsible for verification that the mitigation measure has been implemented. Upon adoption of the MND and approval of the project, Psomas will prepare the Notice of Determination (NOD) but assumes the City will be responsible for filing the NOD with the State Clearinghouse and County Clerk, including payment of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) filing fee and the County Clerk processing fee. 6. Project Management and Public Hearing This Scope of Work assumes that project management activities will extend over an approximate six-month period, during completion of the CEQA process. Psomas will maintain regular telephone and email communications with the City, as appropriate, to discuss the status of the project or resolve environmental issues as they arise. This task also includes attendance at one public hearing for the project. Attendance at additional meetings or hearings will be billed on a time-and- materials basis, based on Psomas' hourly rates and subject to prior City approval. B. Coastal Development Permit Processing Psomas can provide assistance to the team to obtain a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) for the proposed project. The permit requirements will be dictated by the project design. Because the project design is not complete, the Fee Estimate below assumes a maximum of 60 hours for the preparation of studies and plans to support the CDP process. Any additional permitting assistance will require a budget augment. 2.30 Prepare for and attend City Council hearing to approve the Master Plan, IS/MND.
