population, jobs/housing balance, resource preservation, healthy communities, and
other factors of concern and present this information in narrative and tabular form.
b. Transportation - The traffic consultant will analyze potential traffic impacts of the
land use alternatives in the context of baseline traffic forecasts. Peak hour trip
generation and distribution projections will be developed for each alternative. The
analysis will summarize the relative congestion created by each alternative and the
general level of capacity improvements that would be needed for each.

Notes on the Public Outreach Program:
To encourage community input as well as high levels of attendance and participation at the Community
Workshops, the following strategies may be employed:
1. Advertise public outreach meetings through fliers posted around town and partner with local
community groups to have email blasts sent to their members.
2. Get the local news media involved — have meeting times published in newspaper articles or
advertised via local news television and/or radio shows — this is in addition to any required Brown
Act public notices.
3. Whenever possible, conduct public meetings at venues within neighborhoods rather than exclusively
at City Hall. Existing school and community centers are appropriate sites in this regard.
4. Utilize TurningPoint technology to provide real-time responses to survey questions presented in
PowerPoint presentations and provide a voice to those who are reluctant to speak up at the meetings.
5. To encourage children and youth to participate, make announcements at schools regarding the
opportunity to participate in the public outreach meetings.
6. Send home fliers with students encouraging parents to bring their children to the public outreach
meetings.
7. Partner with schools and have teachers offer extra credit for students that participate because they
will be learning about local government processes.
S. Make meetings interesting and fun.
9. Offer small prizes/incentives to encourage students to participate at community meetings.
10. Provide hands-on activities such as having students map their routes to school (via auto, foot, or
bike), identify on maps with stickers areas that they like and dislike, where they feel safe and unsafe,
etc. PDC will utilize existing programs provided by APA and ULI to inform these activities.
11. Conduct individual or small group interviews with students to determine what they would do to
improve the community.
12. Go on a walking tour through certain areas of the City with children and youth and have them point
out places that require improvements and places that they like and use.
13. Provide children and youth with disposable cameras and have them photograph places that they
like/dislike. Ask them to share and explain their photographs.
14. Include a link on the City's website that provides updates regarding the process and allows people to
make comments at any time.
15. Keep a comment matrix which lists every comment received, the source of the conunent, staffs
recommendation, and the Planning Commission's and City Council's action on each comment.

GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
Task H. Draft Environmental Impact Report
DC&E will prepare an administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
for the General Plan Update (GPU) which is compliant with CEQA requirements
(Public Resources Code §§21000 et seq.; Title 14, California Code Regulations,
§§15000 et seq.) and the City of National City's CEQA requirements, if any. The
EIR will be both a program EIR covering the General Plan, the Climate Action
Plan and the Zoning Code, and it will also be a project specific EIR covering the
following individual projects: Street Closures/Pocket Parks; Senior Village Expan-
sion; Park Master Plans (Kimball, El Toyon, Las Palmas); and Granger Hall Rede-
velopment.
Preparation of the Administrative Draft EIR will involve the following tasks:
• Prepare a draft work plan and detailed EIR schedule.
• Attend up to 40 hours of meetings with city staff and project team to address
issues associated with the Draft EIR.
• Prepare a detailed Project Description for the Draft EIR including a descrip-
tion of the horizon year used in the analysis. The project description will in-
clude a statement of the goals and objectives that will be used to help establish
a range of alternatives appropriate for the General Plan.
• Prepare Notice of Preparation (NOP) for distribution by city staff. Assist city
staff with coordination and presentation at a Draft EIR Public Scoping Meet-
ing.
It is anticipated that the following issues will be addressed in the Draft EIR. Evalu-
ation of each resource area will be organized to reflect an introduc-
tion/methodology, existing conditions, significance criteria, impact analysis (includ-
ing cumulative impacts), significance of impacts, and mitigation. The analyses pre-
sented in each section of the EIR will evaluate the potential for impacts associated
with the update of land uses, goals, polices, and implementation programs associ-
ated with the comprehensive update of each of the General Plan elements, the
Zoning Code and the Climate Action Plan. Policy statements in the existing Gen-
eral Plan will be considered as will the proposed modifications.
Recommendations will be made for the amendment of those policies to achieve the
plan's goals of achieving environmental quality in the City. In addition, implemen-
tation of sustainable growth strategies within the GPU will be addressed within the
appropriate sections of the EIR. The anticipated issues to be addressed and the
scope of work for the Draft RIR include:
• Land Use. A discussion of impacts in the Draft EIR will be based on the ex-
tent to which the proposed land use and GPU policy modifications represent
SCOPE OF SERVICES
PROJECT DESIGN CONSULTANTS 5

CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
significant land use and planning changes. Land use compatibility effects asso-
ciated with the policy modifications will also be addressed and will be based on
the noise, traffic, and air quality impacts. The analysis will reflect the updated
policies in the Land Use Element and other associated General Plan Technical
Studies. Recommendations fox mitigation measures will be developed to re-
duce potentially significant land use impacts.
♦ Community Character/Aesthetics. A discussion of community charac-
ter/aesthetic impacts will be based on the extent to which the proposed GPU
policies and any land use modifications represent a significant change in the
nature of the visual setting of the area and the extent to which it is compatible
with neighboring uses. The analysis will be based on secondary source infor-
mation including information from the corresponding element from the GPU.
♦ Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. A discussion of the air qual-
ity and greenhouse gas emission impacts will be based on the various technical
studies that will be prepared to accompany the GPU. The air quality analysis
will also address state and federal ambient air quality standards and compatibil-
ity with adopted air quality plans for the San Diego Air Basin. A Health Risk
Assessment is not included in this scope, but could be added as an optional
task.
• Biological Resources. DC&E will review secondary source information bio-
logical information and mapping for the City. The information will serve as
the basis for the update of the Conservation and Open Space Element and as
well as the Biological Resources analysis in the Draft EIR. This analysis will
also consider biological impacts associated with any new water facilities or
changed hydrological conditions discussed in the Utilities or Hydrology/Water
Quality analyses. Preparation of this section will include consultation with ap-
plicable agencies, such as the California Department of Fish and Game, the US
Army Corps of Engineers and the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
Projects analyzed on project -level basis will include the Park
(Kimball, El Toyon, Las Palmas).
• Cultural Resources. DC&E will review secondary source information re-
garding the history and prehistory of the City. A record search will be per-
formed at the South Coast Information Center, historic maps will be reviewed,
and consultations will be held with any local historical societies or groups.
This section of the EIR will also incorporate the historic information provided
by the fellows. The resulting information will serve as the basis for the update
in the Conservation and Open Space Element of the General Plan as well as
the Cultural Resources analysis in the Draft EIR.
The Granger Hall Redevelopment project will be analyzed at a project -level.
• Geology, The analysis of updated geological and seismic impacts will be
based upon a technical study prepared in conjunction with the GPU. DC&F
Master Plans

will summarize the results of the geological analysis for inclusion into the
Draft EIR.
♦ Hazards and Public Safety. The analysis of hazards/public safety impacts
(e.g. wild land fire, hazardous materials, emergency response, and seismic safe-
ty) will be based upon a variety of hazard and public safety studies that will be
prepared to accompany the GPU and the resulting policies that would be in-
corporated into the GPU.
♦ Hydrology/Water Quality. The analysis of hydrology/water quality impacts
will be based upon secondary source information and any relevant policy up-
dates that are included hi the update of the Conservation and Open Space
Element of the General Plan. This analysis, or the individual resource areas in
the EIR, will also analyze any indirect impacts associated with new water facili-
ties or changes to hydrology and water quality.
• Noise. A discussion of the noise impacts will be based on the noise technical
report study completed by DC&F. Future noise contours will be prepared
based on buildout and the future traffic volumes and speed, and truck traffic
percentage statistics. The results of the noise technical report will be summa-
rized in the Draft EIR
The Senior Village Expansion project will be analyzed at a project -level.
• Paleontological Resources. Using existing secondary source data, DC&E
will assess the potential effects of the GPU on paleontological resources within
the City. As necessary, mitigation procedures and protocols will be updated.
4 Population and Housing. DC&E will estimate the population and housing
increases that will occur under Plan buildout, and identify any impacts that
would occur from these increases.
♦ Public Services. The Draft EIR will address policy updates and objectives
from the GPU that may affect park and recreation, police, fie, libraries, and
schools throughout die City.
+ Utilities. The Draft EIR will address policy updates and objectives from the
GPU that may affect water and sewer, and solid waste services throughout the
City.
♦ Traffic/Circulation. DC&E will rely on the City's separate traffic consultant
to prepare an adequate analysis of traffic/circulation . DC&E will manage the
work of this consultant and edit the report for inclusion in the Draft EIR.
Analyses of agricultural resources and mineral resources are excluded from this
scope since these resources do not exist in National City. The Draft EIR will in-
clude an explanation of this fact in its introductory sections.

The Draft EIR will also address cumulative impacts. The cumulative Impact analy-
sis for the GPU will be prepared pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15130
and will rely on a summary of projections contained within an adopted plan or re-
lated planning documents focusing on area wide regional conditions.
In addition, the Draft EIR will include the No Project Alternative (Adopted Gen-
eral Plan) as well as two alternatives identified to lessen adverse environmental ef-
fects. DC&F will work with city staff, the planning consultant, and other appro-
priate consultants in developing the appropriate the alternatives to be considered in
the EIR. For each alternative, a detailed impact analysis of each EIR issue will be
addressed. A matrix comparison of impacts of each alternative relative to the pro-
posed General Plan will be included in the Draft EIR. The EIR will provide dis-
cussion of the environmentally superior alternative.
The Draft EIR will also include other mandated sections including an executive
summary, introduction, project description, environmental setting, growth induce-
ment, a statement of effects found not to be significant, significant irreversible en-
vironmental changes, references, and a list of organizations and person consulted.
Task I. Plan and EIR Review andAdoption
1. Public Hearings
DC&E will assist the PDC Team and City staff to prepare for public hearings be-
fore the Planning Commission and City Council. DC&E will attend a total of two
hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council, including one each for
the Draft General Plan and EIR.
2. Final EIR and Mitigation Monitoring Program
The process of preparing the Final EIR will include preparation of administrative
drafts and staff review (including legal review) and revision based on City staff
comments. Following public review of the Draft EIR, DC&E will respond to
comments on the EIR, prepare a Final EIR consistent with Title 14, California
Code of Regulations, §15132, and Mitigation Monitoring Program. DC&E will
prepare a Final EIR Addendum that includes verbatim comments received, the
responses to comments, changes to the Draft EIR necessitated by the responses
and a revised summary of impacts and mitigation measures.
As part of this task, DC&E will also prepare an electronic version of the EIR with
a search feature to be used in the environmental review process for projects.
3. Findings and Resolutions
DC&E will prepare draft findings and draft resolutions to allow for certification of
the Final EIR and adoption of the General Plan. These resolutions will summarize
significant impacts of the General Plan, present mitigation measures to reduce im-

pacts to less -than -significant levels, allow adoption of the Mitigation Monitoring
Program, and include, if necessary, a draft statements of overriding consideration.
4. Certification and Adoption Hearings
In these final hearings, City decision -makers will review and consider certifying and
adopting the Final General Plan and BIB. DC&E will attend one Planning Com-
mission and two City Council hearings.
5. Final General Plan
Once the General Plan is adopted, PDC will create a Final General Plan including
adopted mitigation measures and/or alternatives for distribution and archiving .
DC&E will review this document.
ASSUMPTIONS
This scope of work is based on the following assumptions. If any of these assump-
tions proves to be incorrect, then a contract and budget modification will be
needed:
♦ The existing conditions work completed by the Fellowship Students will be
adequate to document existing conditions in the EIR for all resource issues
other than those covered in Task B of this scope of work.
• The traffic study to be completed under a separate contract will be sufficient
for use in the Elli.
• The budget includes an allowance for 6 project -specific EIR analyses to be in-
cluded in the EIR. If the complexity of these sites requires more work than is
covered by the allowance, then a contract amendment will be needed.
• The budgets for the DC&E team's work on Tasks C, D, F and G are allow-
ances, which will be used only for work requested by PDC or the City. If
these budgets are exhausted, then a contract amendment will be needed.
♦ Billing rates for this project are guaranteed through December 2010. Billing
rates will be subject to an increase of up to six percent on January 1, 2011, and
in each subsequent year thereafter.
+ No more than 40 hours of DC&E team staff time will be required to respond
to continents on the Administrative Draft EIR, and no mote than 80 hours of
DC&E team staff time will be required to respond to comments on the Draft
EIR. If additional labor is necessary, a contract amendment allowing addi-
tional work will be necessary.
+ PDC and/or the City will act as a clearinghouse for comments on all adminis-
trative draft documents, and will provide DC&E with a single, internally rec-
onciled set of comments on each administrative draft.

CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
• There will be a single round of intensive review and revision to each adminis-
trative draft product prior to the screencheck draft. If PDC or the City feel
that a second administrative draft is needed, a contract amendment allowing
additional work will be necessary.
♦ Revisions to screencheck drafts will focus on typographical errors, formatting
and other minor edits. Such revisions will not include content changes.
• DC&E will use ArcView version 9.1-compatible shapefiles and/or geodata-
bases from PDC and/or the City for the development of all maps. All files to
be delivered to DC&E are assumed to be current, spatially accurate and
aligned with one another, and referenced to a common coordinate system ap-
propriate for the area. Each shapefde will arrive with the appropriate coordi-
nate system definitions (i.e. .PRJ files); likewise, the coordinate system of geo-
databases, if applicable, will contain proper coordinate system definitions.
This scope assumes that the existing GIS information, including attribute da-
ta, are essentially complete and that any needed adjustments by DC&E will be
minor. Additionally, DC&E -will expect metadata documentation for each
shapefile and/or geodatabase submitted for this project including, but not lim-
ited to, data author and description, data creation date, attribute field defini-
tions, and frequency of data updates. A maximum of 10 hours will be allotted
for DC&E's data quality control procedures.
• All products will be submitted to the City and PDC in electronic (PDF or
Word) format. All GIS products should be delivered in ArcMap 9.3.1 com-
patible formats. The project budget does not include printing shown in Table
2. If the City or PDC desire that DC&E supply printed copies, DC&E will do
so and the printing costs will be billed at DC&E's actual cost.

RE: Proposal to provide biological consulting services for the City of National City's General Plan
Update programmatic Environmental Impact Report
Dear Brooke:
This is a proposal to provide biological consulting services for the National City's General Plan Update
programmatic Environmental Impact Report (EIR). It is my understanding that National City is in the process
of preparing a General Plan (GP) update, and that they have requested that up to twelve specific key projects be
reviewed for project -level analysis as part of the EIR associated with the GP update process. To that end, I
propose to provide the following studies under contract to you:
1. We will conduct all necessary biological background research and conduct site visits, as necessary, to
document existing city-wide conditions at a level appropriate to the programmatic GP EIR.
Professional Fee $4,300
2. We will assist with the preparation of a Biological Resources Impact and Mitigation Section for the
programmatic GP EIR.
Professional Fee $2,475
3. We will provide site characterization of up to twelve individual key project sites, with a description of
existing biological resources suitable for project level analysis. Includes baseline plant, animal, and
habitat inventorying and generalized vegetation mapping -for each of the sites.
Professional Fee, per site $1,320
4. We will prepare individual impact and mitigation sections for the above individual key projects to the
extent feasible in the absence of site -specific development plans.
Professional Fee, per site $990
Completion of all required research, fieldwork, and preparation of the above written materials will take
approximately eight weeks from the initiation of this contract. Any additional work beyond the scope of the
tasks as defined above, including meetings, supplementary field surveys, and/or related tasks as requested by
you would be performed on a time -and -materials basis at a rate of $165/hour. Please note that the above scope
does not include any special status or directed (protocol) field surveys for any areas of the City, including any of
the individual key project sites.
If this proposal is satisfactory, please sign below and remit a retainer in the amount of $5,000 and we will
initiate work immediately upon receipt. Thanks for the opportunity to provide this proposal. Please contact me
should you need further information or clarification. -

Re: Cultural Resources Services National City General Plan Update EIR
Dear Mr. Early:
We appreciate the opportunity to assist you with the National City General Plan Update EIR. Tierra
Environmental Services (Tierra) looks forward to providing the cultural resource studies required for
this project.
It is our understanding that the project is an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the update of the
National City General Plan. Tierra would provide a programmatic level analysis for the EIR and project
level analysis for twelve associated key individual projects. Tierra is familiar with the area involved the
CEQA cultural resources review process, and is well suited to provide the needed technical studies
for this project.
SCOPE OF WORK
Cultural Resources
A cultural resources survey for archaeological and historic resources of the proposed project will be
conducted in accordance with CEQA, and related guidelines and legislation. The goals of the survey
are to determine whether any cultural resources are present on the project site and if they will be
affected through future development of the project area. Performing the tasks outlined below will
complete the study:
Support of the General Plan EIR
Task I. Documentary Research. Documentary research will be conducted to establish the historical
and cultural contexts for National City and identify existing conditions, potential impacts and
mitigation measures for the EIR and twelve associated individual projects. This research will include
the study of available materials regarding the prehistory of the area and the development of National
City in the historic period.

Phone: (858) 578-9064 A Pax; (858) 5784646
mail: 'riermEnvLaol.com
This research may include a visit to and review of materials available through the National City
Historical Society, San Diego Historical Society, the Kile Morgan Local History Room at the
National City Public Library and the California Room at the San Diego Public Library Main Branch.
For the project a background literature and records search will also be conducted through the
California Historical Resources Information System at the South Coastal Information Center located
at San Diego State University. The record search will detail the location of all known cultural
resources and previous cultural resources studies within the project area and vicinity.
Task 2. Native American Contact. A Native American contact program will be required to identify
any Traditional Cultural Properties or Native American concerns. This program will consist of
contacting the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) in Sacramento and requesting a
Sacred Lands File check for possible traditional cultural places or significant cultural sites with the
project vicinity. The NAHC will provide a list of appropriately affiliated groups and individuals
whom Tierra will send project notification letters describing the project and inviting comments.
Follow-up calls will be made to those groups or individuals who do not respond to the letters. The
results of the contact program will be detailed in the technical report.
Because the project is a general plan it is subject to California Senate Bill 18 (SB 18). SB 18
requires cities and counties to contact, and consult with, "California Native American Tribes" before
adopting or amending a General Plan, or when designating land as Open -Space, for the purpose of
protecting Native American Cultural Places. The Native American Contact program initiated by
Tierra should be seen as a first step in the consultation process. It is likely that Native American
groups may request to initiate government to government contact without going directly through an
outside consultant though the outside consultant may be present.
Task 3. Report Preparation to Support the EIR. A report detailing initial findings will be prepared to
support the EIR. The report will summarize the results of the research at a level appropriate to a
programmatic level for the EIR and to a project level analysis for the twelve individual projects. The
report will address potential impacts and mitigation recommendations for the EIR and twelve
individual project sites.
No cultural resources site survey, subsurface testing, data recovery or significance evaluation will be
conducted as part of this proposal. In the event that cultural resources found on the project site
cannot be avoided through project design or mitigation, testing may be required to fully evaluate
significance and would require a revised scope and cost estimate. Should resources requiring
evaluation by an architectural historian be present in the project area of potential effect, a revised
scope and cost estimate will be prepared.
DELIVERABLES AND SCHEDULE
Deliverables will include preparation of a Draft and Final cultural resources technical report. We are
prepared to commence the required study immediately, and are committed to completing the process
in the timeliest manner possible. We anticipate the cultural resources technical work to take
approximately four weeks to complete from the notice to proceed.
COST
The estimated cost for the cultural resource studies for the project is estimated at $ 18,910, as it is
currently understood. We are prepared to commence work on the study immediately. Labor costs
3�
and expenses will be billed monthly on a time -and -materials basis. A detailed breakdown of the
anticipated costs are attached.
Thank you for the opportunity. We look forward to working with you on this project. If you have
any questions or observations regarding this proposed agreement, please do not hesitate to contact
me.
Sincerely,

4(
General Plan Level Noise Analysis
Review Existing Noise and Vibration Data. We will review recent environmental noise and
vibration studies for applicable data that could be used to describe current noise and vibration
exposure in the City.
Document Existing Noise Conditions. A noise monitoring program will be developed in close
coordination with City Staff. Noise measurement locations will be selected based on
consultation with City Staff to quantify noise levels along major thoroughfares, near significant
stationary noise sources, in developing areas, or in other areas that have been problematic in the
past. Eight long-term (minimum of 24 hours) and 15 short-term (10- to 15-minutes) noise
measurements will be made. We assume that the measurements made to establish baseline
conditions for the General Plan level analysis would adequately describe existing noise levels at
four of the twelve project -specific sites.
Baseline Conditions Report -Noise. [&R will prepare a Noise and Vibration Baseline
Conditions Report. The Report will include descriptions of the major transportation sources and
stationary noise sources in National City, summarize current noise policies set forth in the
existing General Plan, other noise regulations set forth in the Zoning Ordinance and Municipal
Code, describe the noise monitoring survey results, present mapped and tabularized noise
exposure contours. Existing noise contour data will be calculated based upon the data collected
during the existing conditions monitoring survey and traffic data provided by the City. The
contours will be based on existing data, field measurements, and noise modeling results. The
Report will also summarize current information on ground vibration thresholds and summarize
the existing vibration environment.
Assistance and Technical Review of General Plan Policies. Illingworth & Rodkin, Inc. will
assist the City in updating applicable policies in the General Plan. We will identify potential
noise issues or conflicts with the City's current policies and suggest improvements. We will
provide technical assistance for and peer review of the Noise Element. Policies will be deleted,
revised, or added as necessary to reflect staffs past experience and to reflect anticipated changes
in the City.
Produce Future Noise Exposure Contours. Future noise contour data will be calculated based
upon future traffic data, railroad usage assumptions, and other information provided by the City.
We will prepare the noise contour map on base maps supplied to us by the City in terms of Ld„ in
increments of 5 decibels down to 60 dBA Ld„. The future noise contour map will be prepared
and submitted in the noise and vibration technical report.
Analyze Noise and Vibration Impacts for the General Plan Update EIR. We will prepare
the noise section for the General Plan Update EIR. This work will include an analysis of noise
impacts, which could result from the implementation of the General Plan. These typically fall
into two categories: (1) proposed land use changes that will expose new sensitive receptors to
noise or vibration levels exceeding those considered normally acceptable based on the city's
policies; and (2) changes in the noise environment in the city resulting from growth through the
General Plan. Based on potential changes in noise and vibration levels along the roads and rail
lines, we will determine where significant impacts will occur and develop mitigation measures, if
feasible, to reduce these impacts to less than significant. If, as a result of the analysis, it is
determined that additional mitigation measures will be appropriate to reduce future noise
impacts, these will be presented in the form of suggested policy changes. We will prepare the
noise section of the ADEIR, DEIR, and respond to DC&E/City Staff comments as appropriate.
Responses to public comments on the DEIR would be budgeted separately and billed in addition
at our standard hourly rates.
Project Level Noise Analysis
The project level noise analyses would tier off of the General Plan Noise Analysis as described
above. Project -specific calculations would be made for the construction and operation of these
projects and noise level projections would be compared against applicable significance
thresholds. Mitigation measures would be recommended to reduce significant noise impacts to
less than significant levels.
Meetings. Meetings would be billed in addition at a rate of $2,600 per meeting (assumes 12
hours for meeting and travel plus reimbursable travel expenses).
Budget for Noise:
Baseline Conditions Report - $18,800 (Includes Reimbursable Travel Expenses)
ADEIR, DEIR - $5,000 (Includes Future Noise Contour Map)
Project Levet Analyses- $11,200 (assumes 4 project -level analyses at $2,800 each)
Total - $35,000
43
d. Air Quality (Illingworth & Rodkin, Inc.)
44
General Plan Level Air Quality Analysis
The air quality analysis would include a description of the area meteorology, existing air quality
conditions, regulations and planning efforts to attain or maintain air pollutant levels below
ambient air quality standards. Air quality would be analyzed in terms of proposed general plan
policies, land use, and circulation plan. In addition to describing the air quality setting, the
following analysis would be conducted:
• Plan projections in terms of population and vehicle travel changes would be assessed and
emissions associated with these changes would be calculated.
• Roadside concentrations of carbon monoxide would be modeled at up to 10 of the busiest
and congested intersections, based on results of the traffic study.
• Overlays to identify areas of potential conflict with proposed sensitive land uses and air
pollution sources would be identified, based on screening guidance. These overlay areas
could be further evaluated through health risk assessments, which are described below.
Estimated Cost: $12,000
Project Level Air Quality Analyses
The project level air quality analyses would tier off of the General Plan Air Quality Analysis
described above. Project -specific modeling in terms of construction and operational emissions
would be conducted using the URBEMIS2007 model. These emissions would be compared
against significance -based thresholds. Mitigation measures to reduce any significant impacts
would be identified. Sources or toxic or hazardous air pollutants that may affect new sensitive
receptors would be identified. New sensitive receptors located within overlay areas identified in
the General Plan air quality analysis described above would be considered to have a significant
impact or require further analysis. Project specific analysis for cancer risk or health hazards is
described in the optional task below.
Estimated Cost (assume 4 projects trigger screening): $10,000
Cost per quantified project analysis (no RN): $2,500
Health Risk Assessment for National City General Plan
The primary objective of this assessment is to evaluate potential health risks from exposure to
diesel particulate mater (DPM) at possible future residential development projects adjacent or
near the major freeways in National City (State Routes 5, 54, and 805). A generalized
assessment of DPM risks for future residential development near freeways will be conducted by
selecting representative freeway segments from each of the three major freeways and conducting
dispersion modeling of roadway DPM emissions to determine the distribution of DPM
concentration levels and associated health risks in the vicinity of the freeway. These DPM risk
levels can then be used to identify areas near freeways within which potentially significant risks
could occur. It is assumed that up to six freeway segments will be evaluated for this general
DPM analysis. The number of segments used will depend on how the traffic volumes on an
individual freeway change before and after the intersection with the other freeways (e.g
1
45
intersection of SR 805 with SR 54).•Currently, it is assumed that two segments would be
evaluated for each of the major freeways going through the City.
Evaluation of health risks for both the generalized and specific projects will be conducted using
dispersion modeling with the CAL3QHCR mobile source model and standard health risk
calculation procedures accepted by the California Office of Health Hazard Assessment
(OEHHA) and the San Diego Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD). DPM emissions from
freeway traffic will be calculated using the California Air Resources Board (GARB)
EMFAC2007 mobile source emissions model.
Since fine particulate matter, PM2.5, is another pollutant of concern with respect to health
effects, a discussion of local and regional PM2.5 concentrations, emission sources, and
regulations or programs to reduce PM2.5 will be discussed. As with DPM, the siting of
residential developments near roadways can result in exposure to elevated PM2.5 concentrations.
An additional evaluation of the effects of siting residential developments near the major
freeways in the City can be conducted. This analysis would be similar to the one proposed for
evaluating health risks from DPM using dispersion modeling with the CAL3QHCR model.
Estimated Cost at General Plan Level is $19,000, assuming that a general analysis of health risk
(in terms of cancer risk and PM2.5) would be conducted for five representative freeway
segments. The cost of conducting additional segments would be $3, 000 per segment.
Project -Specific Health Risk Assessment
In addition to evaluation of the generalized risk near freeways, up to twelve specific projects,
assumed to be residential developments, would be evaluated for DPM health risks at the project
level. Project -specific siting information would be used in developing risk estimates for these
projects. Depending on the location of these specific projects, the results from the generalized
analysis may be applicable to these projects and further detailed evaluation may not be required.
Estimated Cost for Project Specific Analysis ofDPM and PM2.5 would be $2,500 per project.
Since we do not know about the projects, we are providing a cost estimate on a per project basis.
It could be possible that no project -specific analysis are required or several would be required.
Discussion of Non -Freeway Sources Affecting Health Risk in National City
In addition evaluating health risks from DPM, a general discussion potential health risks and air
pollutant hazards from other sources in or adjacent to the National City will be provided. This
discussion will rely on available studies and information sources. Air quality dispersion
modeling is not proposed for this discussion of other sources.
Estimated Cost for this General Plan level discussion is $2,000

Re: National City Genera! Plan EIR — Hazardous Materials
Dear Mr. Early:
In response to your request, Dudek has prepared this proposed scope of work for a program
level and project level hazardous material studies.
Program Level Setting
The purpose of the program level investigation is to Identify areas of hazardous materials
concern within the city boundary and sphere of Influence (study area) in order to assist in
making informed decisions relative to potential hazardous materials impacts on future projects.
Dudek will conduct an environmental database search of the study area in order to identify
sites that are known to be chemical handlers, hazardous waste generators, or polluters. The
database search will identify sites in the study area and within the American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM)-standard search radii of the study area boundary. The current ASTM
Standard (E 1527-05) was prepared in accordance with EPA's All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI)
Rule. Therefore area study search distances will be in conformance with both the ASTM
Standard E 1527-05 and AAI.
Dudek will review and compile a list of sites with potential environmental hazards. The list can
be sorted be geographical area or other criteria. The list can be used to determine the
potential for impacts due to environmental hazardous based on the density or number of sites
identified within each region.
Dudek assumes that one key member of the Hazardous Materials team will attend a Kick-off
Meeting and two additional meetings. Dudek assumes that the duration of time that will
require Dudek's presence at each meeting will be up to 3 hours.
Estimated Cost - $2,500
46.
DUDEK
Page 2
Program Level Impacts and Mitigation Measures
Dudek will prepare a list of potential hazardous and typical mitigation measures that would be
required for a project level analysis.
Estimated Cost - $2,000
Project Level Setting
Dudek will provide project level hazardous materials analysis for 12 proposed project sites.
This proposal assumes that 5 of the 12 proposed project sites will be located on or adjacent to
properties with open/activate hazardous materials cases with a local oversight agency.
Dudek assumes that additional research will be required for 5 proposed project sites and
consist of a file review of up to 3 open/active cases at the County of San Diego Department of
Environmental Health. Dudek will also identify sites within the proposed project study area
that are included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code
Section 65962.5, in order to assist in addressing the questions in the CEQA checklist relating to
Hazardous Materials.
This scope of work assumes that the agency files contain analytical data for each site. However,
it is possible that open cases have not included the collection of data as of yet. Additionally, it
is possible that older, closed cases have been discarded and therefore the data is not available
for review. In the cases where data is not available, risk calculation is not possible without
collection of new analytical data through sampling activities, which is not included in this scope.
Estimated Cost - $12,500
Project Level Impacts and Mitigation Measures
Dudek will identify potential hazardous materials impacts and corresponding mitigation
measures relative to the proposed projects. This analysis may include human health risk
analyses (if sufficient data is available), recommendations for worker health and safety, proposed
project materials handling requirements, and hazardous materials specific permit requirements.
Estimated Cost - $10,000

4. Fehr and Peers Scope of Work
51
The scope of services for the Update to the City of National City General Plan includes four main
tasks including Project Initiation, Transportation Element of the General Plan, Transportation
Element of the EIR, the Climate Action Plan, and Meetings.
Task 0 —Project Initiation
As part of this initial work on the project, Fehr & Peers will attend a two-day meeting with Project
Design Consultants (PDC), DC&E, and the City of National City to finalize the scope and review
available documents. It is anticipated that this meeting will require the attendance of at least 2
Fehr & Peers staff persons per day. The purpose of this meeting is to generate a final scope of
services for the traffic study.
Task 1- Transportation Element of the General Plan
Task 1.1- Data Collection
Task 1.1.A- Review of Existino Documents
We understand that the college student "fellows" have developed a significant amount of existing
data and that the City has average daily traffic counts for use in the transportation analysis. We
will review the existing background report prepared by the college student "fellows" related to
Transportation.
Task 1.1.B- Existing Traffic Counts
We estimate that new intersection traffic counts will be required at up 30 locations for use in the
subsequent road closure studies and development project -level traffic assessments. We
anticipate that we would collect up to 20 locations initially within the City and then collect counts
at an additional 10 locations once we have identified where either roadway closures require
detailed study or these traffic counts are needed to support detailed project review. These
locations will be selected through consultation with the Project Team and National City Staff.
Task 1.2-Travel Demand Model Support
Task 1.2.A- Review Model Update/Calibration
We anticipate that the City of National City and SANDAG would be developing the travel model
forecasts using the Series 11 version of the SANDAG Model. We anticipate that the model
development effort will proceed as follows:
• SANDAG will do initial calibration/validation runs using existing land uses and
transportation network components
• Upon validation of the SANDAG model, The City of National City will provide SANDAG
staff with changes to the Series 11 SANDAG Model related to land use data and the
roadway network reflecting both the existing and proposed General Plans.
Our role in this effort will be to review the updated/calibrated version of the Series 11 SANDAG
Model, and coordinate with City and SANDAG staff as required.
Sz
Task 1.2.B — Prepare Technical Memo Outlining Model Review
We will summarize the results of the Task 1.2.A review in a technical memo and provide the
memo to City Staff and the Project Team. Further coordination with the City of National City and
SANDAG will be undertaken as required to ensure a fully calibrated model to support the
subsequent forecasting activities.
Task 1.3- Developing Transportation Policy Elements
Task 1.3.A- Summary of Existing Condition
In this task, the focus will be on summarizing existing roadway segment operations. We anticipate
that the current Existing Conditions report prepared by the City will provide the basis for
preparation of the summary of Existing Conditions.
Task 1.3.6- Development of Multi -Modal Street Typologies
As part of this task, we will develop standard cross -sections for City Roadways that provide
accommodations for vehicles as well as other modes of travel. We will begin by reviewing the
City's existing standard roadway cross -sections and make recommendations related to the
development either of new roadway cross -sections or through modifications to existing cross -
sections. We anticipate that we would develop three (3) new example cross -sections and obtain
local examples of each proposed facility.
As part of this task, we would also review the proposed cross -sections for Plaza Boulevard to
verify whether this roadway requires the addition of transit -only lanes or whether mixed -flow lanes
with accommodations for transit would be more appropriate.
Task 1.3.C- Develop Up to 10 Street Cross -Sections along Community Corridors
Through initial discussions with the City, we determined that there is a significant level of interest
in several roadways (16th, 18th, etc) which are considered to be "Community Corridors". It is
anticipated that each of these roadways may be reconstructed or improved to create an
environment which is more conducive to walking and biking and less accommodating for
automobiles. As such, we would further study these corridors to recommend modifications which
may include additional sidewalks, bicycle facilities, traffic calming, and other similar
improvements. For budgeting purposes, we anticipate that we would select ten (10) locations
along these corridors and perform the following actions:
• Conduct a field visit
• Measure the physical roadway features (pavement width, sidewalk width, building
locations, landscaping, etc)
• Obtain the existing right-of-way from the City
• Develop an alternative cross-section for each location
• Revise this proposed cross-section after consultation with the Project Team and City
Staff
Task 1.3.D- Review of Street Closures
A key issue identified by the City is one of street closures. As such, the City of National City is
interested in selective street closures that might allow the creation of a pocket park or another
localized amenity. To facilitate the analysis of the street closures, we anticipate that the following
process would be followed:
53
• Potential street closures would be identified by the Project Team and City Staff
• We will then develop a set of traffic related evaluation criteria related to the street
closures and review these criteria with City Staff. We will also identify any criteria which
might serve as fatal flaws.
• We will screen out all of the available closures using our evaluation criteria. We
anticipate we would screen up to 20 potential roadway closure locations.
• We will conduct a detailed analysis of circulation impacts at up to 10 locations. This
detailed analysis will consider the affect of this closure upon the nearest major
intersection, the affect on nearby parking, and the elimination of any access points for
nearby properties.
Task 1.3.E- Detailed Circulation Review of Harbor Drive/Tidelands/Civic Center
Another key issue identified by the City is the overall circulation pattern at the confluence of
Harbor Drive, Tidelands Avenue, and Civic Center Drive. We recommend the following process
to address circulation issues in this area including:
• A review of existing conditions including any available traffic data and a field visit with
City Staff
• A review of improvements proposed by recent Caltrans study work
• A review of available traffic forecasts from the SANDAG Model
• Development of up to three (3) concepts to address long-range traffic conditions which
may include revisions to the roadway network, modifications to traffic control, and other
similar changes
Task 1.3.F- Detailed Circulation Review for Area west of National City Boulevard. South of 22nd
Street and north of 24d' Street.
Based on discussions with City Staff, the area described above is one which the City would like
some additional circulation review. One of the issues is the re -opening of Wilson Avenue in
conjunction with closure of Hoover Avenue. As part of this circulation review, we propose the
following approach:
• A review of existing conditions including any available traffic data and a field visit with
City Staff
• A review of available traffic forecasts from the SANDAG Model
• Development of up to three (3) concepts which include closure of Hoover and re -opening
of Wilson, along with associated revisions to the roadway network, modifications to traffic
control, and other related changes
Task 1.3.G- Consideration of Shuttle Service, Routes, and Operations
In this task, we will provide a brief evaluation of proposed shuttle routes: We will evaluate two
shuttle routes and develop conceptual ridership forecasts for these routes. Additionally, we will
uprovide the City with standard costs of operating a shuttle and provide the City with a conceptual
cost estimate for capital and annual operating costs for a shuttle.
Task 1.3.H- Development of Goals and Policies Related to Autos. Transit, Bikes, and Pedestrians
Using Data from Tasks 1.3.A through 1.3.G, we will develop goals and policies for inclusion in the
General Plan Circulation Element related to transportation facilities. This effort will include case
study reviews and recommendation for alternative LOS thresholds for specified urban/mutli-modal
corridors within National City. It is anticipated that we would develop an initial set of goals and
policies and provide those to the Project Team and City Staff for their initial review. Once this
initial review is complete, we will update goals and policies as necessary.
Task 1.4 Analysis of Draft Land Use and Transportation Facilities
Task 1.4.A- Horizon Year Forecasts
Application of the SANDAG will provide forecasts for the 2030 Horizon Year for the following
scenarios:
• Existing General Plan
• Proposed General Plan
Our role in this task will be to summarize the forecasts and provide an initial review to ensure that
they are appropriate for use in the General Plan Update and EIR.
Task 1.4.8- Determine Roadway Deficiencies
Using the forecasts data we received in Task 1.4.A, we will note any deficient roadway segments
using standardized roadway segment LOS thresholds. We will prepare a graphic noting these
deficiencies for Project Team and City Staff review.
Task 1.4.C- Identify Potential Roadway improvements
Using the list of deficient roadway segments from Task 1.4.B, we will recommend appropriate
roadway improvements within National City. If we determine that a roadway segment can not be
improved through consultation with the Project Team and City Staff, we will note that as well. Any
roadway improvements that can be implemented will be shown on a graphic for use in the
General Plan Circulation Element.
We anticipate that this map will also identify any potential street closures and changes in
localized circulation as determined in Tasks 1.3.D, 1.3.E, and 1.3.F.
Task 1.4.D- Proposed Non -Roadway Transportation Improvements
Using the data from other tasks (Task 1.3.B, Task 1.3.C, etc.), we will identify other transportation
improvements which might include but not be limited to the following:
• New or extended sidewalks
• New or extended bicycle routes
• New or extended on -street bicycle transit
• Shuttle routes
We will prepare a map of these improvements for use in the General Plan Circulation Element as
appropriate.
Task 1.5- Detailed Traffic Analysis Related to Potential Development Projects
It is our understanding that concurrent with the General Plan, National City is interested in
analyzing impacts associated with several proposed development projects which include the
following (listed in the order of priority):
• Senior Village
• Las Palmas Park
• Walmart Expansion (Walmart would be expected to contribute financially to include this
project in the EIR)
• Granger Hall Redevelopment
• El Toyon Park
• Kimball Park
• Plaza Bonita Expansion (Plaza Bonita would be expected to contribute financially to
include this project in the EIR)
Given the budget constrains, only the Senior Village and Las Palmas Park projects will be studied
within the proposedscope, with the analyses of the remaining five (5) projects assumed to be
optional tasks.
Task 1.5.A- Traffic Impact Analysis for Senior Village and Las Palmas Park
For each development location, we will perform the following analysis:
• We will determine existing intersection LOS for intersections immediately surrounding the
project site. We are assuming that we would analyze no more than 15 total intersections
and that these locations would be covered in Task 1.3.A.
• Any new counts for these detailed studies will be addressed through Task 1.1.B (which
includes a recommendation that we postpone collecting all of the new traffic counts until
the street closures have been identified and the development locations identified as well).
• Any future traffic forecasts will be provided by Task 1.4.A.
• We will note any additional project impacts at the intersection locations identified above.
• For any impacts identified, mitigation measures will be recommended.
Task 1.5.6- Traffic Impact Analysis for Five (5) Remainina Development Projects (Optional task
additional cost)
• Walmart Expansion
• Granger Hall Redevelopment
• El Toyon Park
• Kimball Park
Plaza Bonita Expansion
Task 2- Transportation Elements of the EIR
Task 2.1 Summarize Impacts within National City
Task 2.1.A- Summarize Impacts to Roadway Segments
We will summarize identified roadway segment impacts associated with the General Plan Land
Use Scenario.
Task 2.1.B- Evaluate Non -Roadway Impacts
Concurrent with the review of impacts related to Roadway Segments, we will also evaluate
impacts related to bicycles, pedestrians, and transit. We will consult with the Project Team and
National City Staff to determine significance criteria for these non -roadway impacts.
Task 2.2- Recommend Changes to Circulation Element
Based on the results of this analysis, we may recommend changes to the General Plan
Circulation Element. These changes may include modifications to the roadway network or other
adjustments as necessary to limit impacts. If we are unable to fully mitigate any impacts through
changes to the Circulation Element, we will consult with the Project Team and City of National
City.
Task 2.3- Evaluate Traffic Impacts Outside of National City
We will also assess traffic impacts outside of National City, associated with the proposed General
Plan. However, we can not determine at this time what specific locations would be studied
without further consultation with SANDAG, the City of San Diego, Caltrans, and other agencies.
For scoping purposes, we have assumed that we would study up to ten (10) freeway or roadway
segments.
Task 2.4- Prepare Draft Transportation Section
Our scope assumes that we would prepare the Transportation Section for the EIR using an
outline developed by DC&E. We will prepare a draft Transportation Section and provide the
document to the Project Team and City Staff for review.
Task 2.5- Update EIR Section
In this task, we will update the EIR Section in response to Project Team and City Staff comments.
Our scope assumes one round of comments.
Task 2.6- Response to Comments
Our scope assumes that we would budget 30 hours of staff time to prepare responses to
comments on the EIR.
Task 3- Climate Action Plan
Task 3.1- Identify Emission Reduction Strategies
Fehr & Peers will compile a list of emission reduction strategies previously developed through our
previous work related to the following studies:
• Irvine Climate Action Plan
• Urban Land Institute Publication "Growing Cooler" (partially authored by Fehr & Peers)
• Our participation in the Regional Targets Advisory Committee (RTAC) for SB 375
• Our recent work for SCAG related to the development of a regional travel demand
management (TDM) tool
• Our development of a transit/TDM sketch planning tool for various COG's within Southern
California
A key element regarding this list of implementation measures is the use of available data and
research to quantify the effects of these measures for use in the analysis as opposed to the
57
collection of new data. Fehr & Peers will identify, quantify, and document these emission
reduction strategies through the following process:
• For each implementation measure, Fehr & Peers will define the measure, the
implementing party (directly done by the City or through City development approvals), the
likely reduction, the source for this reduction, and any caveats/limitations as applicable.
• Fehr & Peers will then recommend a preliminary set of implementation measures for
consideration by the Project Team and then prepare a final estimate of VMT reductions
associated with these measures.
• Fehr & Peers may modify this list of implementation measures based on whether or not
the overall based on feedback from the Project Team and the City of National City.
We will prepare a technical memorandum summarizing our proposed emission reduction
strategies and revise those strategies following the receipt of comments from the Project Team
and the City of National City.
Task 4- Meetings
Task 4.1- Staff Meetings
Our scope assumes that we would attend up to 10 meetings which may include meetings with the
Project Team, City Staff, outside agencies, or other parties as necessary. It is anticipated that
our Project Manager would attend all 10 of these meetings and our Principal -In -Charge would
attend 4.
Task 4.2- Public Meetings
Our scope assumes that we would attend up to 2 public meetings. It is anticipated that our Project
Manager would attend both of these meetings and our Principal -in -Charge would attend 1.
