COVER LETTER City of Diamond Bar Community Development Department, Planning Division 21810 Copley Drive Diamond Bar, California 91765 Attention: Ms. Mayuko Nakajima, Senior Planner Subject: Envicom Corporation Proposal to the City of Diamond Bar 1400 Montefino Avenue Residential Subdivision Project (Envicom Project # 2025-009-00) Dear Mr. Lopez, We thank you for the opportunity to provide this proposal in response to the City of Diamond Bar’s (City’s) Request for Proposals (RFP) to prepare a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document for a 49 attached and detached residential condominium project. As noted in the RFP, City staff anticipates that the appropriate environmental documentation for this project will likely be a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), based on the findings of an Initial Study (IS). This proposal reflects our understanding of the scope of work and anticipated level of effort based on the information provided to date, including the RFP and its attachments, such as the Project Site Plan, Project Location Map, and Sample Consulting Services Agreement. The project proposes the development of 49 attached and detached residential condominium units, along with private drive aisles to support site access and internal circulation, on a 3.93-acre property located within the City. To implement the project, the applicant is requesting several entitlements, including a Tentative Tract Map, a General Plan Amendment, and a Zone Change to redesignate the site from General Commercial (C) to Medium High Density Residential (RMH), along with a zone change from Commercial Office (CO) to RMH with a Planned Development (PD) Overlay. Additional requests include a Development Review and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), which is required for any development within a PD Overlay. We have provided CEQA services to projects in the Diamond Bar area and for similar types of projects in other cities with similar concerns, which gives us a strong working knowledge of the environmental issues likely to be analyzed. Two of our recent relevant projects include preparation of an IS/MND for the 1651 Lynn Road Residential Subdivision for the City of Thousand Oaks, which included 19 residential lots to accommodate the construction of 18 single-family residences, and the IS/MND for the Barrera Hacienda Heights Project in unincorporated Los Angeles County, which concerned Tentative Tract Map No. 606973, a proposed 12.35-acre subdivision that provided ten (10) single-family residential lots, including the development of eight (8) new homes in addition to two (2) existing homes. The IS/MNDs were adopted and the projects approved by the respective lead agencies. Our experience in the local area and across southern California enables us to provide informed guidance to clients by drawing on an understanding of a broad range of relevant issues. We routinely work with legal counsel on projects and track relevant court PROPOSAL FOR THE 1400 MONTEFINO AVENUE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT 2 decisions and changes in CEQA when they occur, allowing us to better advise our clients on current practices and recommendations. We appreciate the City’s consideration of our proposal and hope it meets your expectations. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or if additional information is needed. Sincerely, Travis Cullen, LEED AP, Laura Kaufman, AICP Envicom Corporation President V.P. / Director of Environmental Services tcullen@envicomcorporation.com lkaufman@envicomcorporation.com PROPOSAL FOR THE 1400 MONTEFINO AVENUE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT 3 2.

ENVICOM TASKS CITY TASKS PUBLIC REVIEW PERIODS PROPOSAL FOR THE 1400 MONTEFINO AVENUE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT 14 4. SCOPE OF WORK A. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH The Community Development Department for the City of Diamond Bar is requesting proposals for the preparation of an IS/MND pursuant to the CEQA for a proposed residential development located at 1400 Montefino Avenue (Assessor’s Parcel Number 8293-044-015). The project site encompasses approximately 3.93 acres and is proposed to be subdivided to accommodate the development of 49 residential condominium units, comprised of 42 attached units and seven (7) detached units, as well as private drive aisles to support site access and internal circulation. The residential component includes nine (9) Plan 1 units, each offering four (4) bedrooms and approximately 1,929 square feet; ten (10) Plan 2 units, also featuring four (4) bedrooms and approximately 1,940 square feet; and 30 Plan 3 units, each with three (3) bedrooms and approximately 1,966 square feet. Parking for the project will include 98 spaces provided via attached two-car garages and an additional (21 open parking spaces distributed throughout the site. All structures are proposed as three-story buildings constructed on concrete slab-on-grade foundations. The resulting net residential density for the project site will be approximately 12.45 dwelling units per acre. To implement the project, the applicant is requesting several entitlements, including a Tentative Tract Map to allow for condominiums, a General Plan Amendment, and Zone Change to redesignate the site from General Commercial (C) to Medium High Density Residential (RMH) and a zone change from Commercial Office (CO) to RMH with a Planned Development (PD) Overlay. Additional requests include a Development Review and a CUP, which is required for any development within a PD Overlay. The project will involve the demolition of the existing two-story, 55,296-square-foot commercial building currently located on the property. In addition, the project will require the removal of existing trees and the installation of new walls, hardscape, and landscaping throughout the site. The project site is bordered by residential condominiums to the north and west, a mix of residential condominiums and single-family homes to the south, and the Montefino Plaza shopping center to the east. The site features a south-facing, descending slope that begins near the western edge, adjacent to existing condominiums, and continues downward toward the eastern property boundary. Furthermore, the project site is not located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone; however, the nearest mapped boundary for such a zone is located approximately 2,000 feet to the southeast. A Moderate Fire Hazard Zone is located approximately 158 feet to the southeast of the project site. Responsibilities for Technical Studies The proposed IS/MND will be prepared in accordance with the procedural and substantive requirements of the CEQA, including the CEQA Statute (Public Resources Code 21000 et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations), and applicable City of Diamond Bar CEQA policies and procedures. The preparation of the IS/MND will be supported by a range of technical studies and reports, with responsibilities shared between the applicant team and Envicom. The list below identifies the technical reports that will be relied upon to support the IS/MND analysis and the party assumed responsible for each: • Site Plans, Grading Plans (with pad locations), Elevations or Renderings if available, potential Cross-sections, as well as specific construction and operational information to be requested by Envicom (Applicant) • Application Forms (Applicant) • Air Quality and GHG Emissions (Envicom) • Biological Resources Assessment (Envicom) PROPOSAL FOR THE 1400 MONTEFINO AVENUE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT 15 • Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment and Tribal Consultation Assistance (Envicom) • Geology and Soils (Applicant) • Hydrology (Drainage/LID Plans) and Water Quality (Applicant) • Noise and Vibration (MD Acoustics) • Transportation (Applicant) • Utilities Data/Plans (Envicom) As described in the RFP, we assume the Traffic Study, Low Impact Development (LID) Report, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPP), Sewer Study, Geotechnical Report, and Hydrology/Hydraulic Report will be subject to peer review by appropriate City departments. As requested in the RFP, a Biological Resources Assessment will be prepared in accordance with industry- accepted protocols and methodologies appropriate for the site’s plant communities, physical conditions, and the potential for special status species or protected trees to occur on or near the site. The project site is not listed as a historic resources in the Diamond Bar General Plan 2040, and as of 2019, there are no registered historic resources in the City. Additionally, the existing on-site building was constructed in 1985 and is less than 50 years old. Therefore, no additional historical analysis is required. For the purposes of this proposal and based on the size of the components of the residential project, we assume the project will fall below the threshold for requiring a project-specific Water Supply Assessment (Senate Bill 221, Keuhl; CEQA Guidelines Section 15155). Envicom’s scope of work by task is provided below, along with the deliverables. The estimated timeline for providing these services is provided in Section 3 of this proposal and includes a graphic overview of the full schedule. B. SCOPE OF WORK Task 1 – Review Project Materials/Information Needs/Kickoff Envicom will conduct a review of project plans and applicant-provided technical studies, to confirm their adequacy to support the IS/MND analysis. Envicom will review all application materials, the General Plan, the City Zoning Code, and other relevant documents available from the City. Envicom will coordinate with City staff and those of any other relevant agencies for data collection and provide a written request for additional project information needed for the environmental analysis, including for the technical studies to be prepared by the Envicom team. Within one week of following the City Council’s approval of Consulting Services Agreement, Envicom will attend a kick-off meeting with City staff and the applicant team. We will cover the following: identification of data sources, roles and responsibilities for the team, and establish communication protocols. Task 2 – Administrative Draft IS/MND for City Review This task will begin with one (1) coordination meeting with City staff to gather essential information for the preparation of a complete and accurate Project Description. This meeting will also serve to establish early communication among team members and to identify any key issues or concerns raised by the City. The Project Description will form the foundation for the environmental analysis and determination of potential impacts and mitigation requirements. Given its importance, the Project Description will be PROPOSAL FOR THE 1400 MONTEFINO AVENUE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT 16 prepared at the outset of the project and circulated to City staff for review and confirmation. One (1) round of review by City staff is anticipated. Upon receipt of the City’s comments on the Project Description, Envicom will prepare an IS pursuant to CEQA and the City’s requirements, which is anticipated to lead to an IS/MND. The IS/MND will address all topical areas contained in the City’s Initial Study Checklist. Each section will include a clear explanation of impact determinations, supported by appropriate technical studies or referenced data sources, which will be cited in footnotes. Project technical studies will be included as Appendices. Envicom will submit the Administrative Draft IS/MND in both Microsoft Word and PDF formats. Based on one (1) set of consolidated comments from City staff, Envicom will revise and finalize the Administrative Draft IS/MND and provide updated Word and PDF versions for final review. The accompanying cost table reflects assumptions regarding the anticipated level of effort for the response-to- comments phase. Deliverables: • Draft Project Description for City review. • Administrative Draft IS/MND (MS Word and PDF format) for City review. Task 3 – Screencheck Draft IS/MND for City Review and MMP Upon receipt of one (1) consolidated set of City comments, Envicom will prepare the Screencheck Draft MND. A Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (MMP) will be prepared, addressing all mitigation measures necessary to reduce project environmental impacts to a less than significant level. We will provide MS Word and PDF versions of the Screencheck Draft IS/MND and MMP to the City for review and comment in redline strikethrough format. Based upon one (1) consolidated set of comments from the City we will revise the document and prepare MS Word and PDF versions of the Screencheck Draft IS/MND and MMP for submittal to the City. Deliverables: • Screencheck Draft IS/MND and MMP (MS Word and PDF format) for City review. Task 4 – Draft IS/MND and MMP for Public Circulation Upon receipt of one (1) consolidated set of minor final comments from City staff, Envicom will make required revisions to prepare the IS/MND and MMP for public review. Envicom will prepare a draft Notice of Availability (NOA) and distribution list, Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt the IS/MND, and Notice of Determination (NOD) in compliance with website instructions on the California Office of Planning and Research (OPR) State Clearinghouse (SCH) website, including CEQAnet uploading of the IS/MND and notices. Envicom will also be responsible for posting the notices with the County Clerk and Recorder, in Norwalk, California. We will also provide the OPR SCH Summary Form and hard copies, as indicated in the deliverables list. The City will be responsible for any public distribution of the notices and IS/MND outside of Envicom’s stated responsibilities, including notification as required (CEQA Guidelines Section 15072), such as newspaper noticing, and posting on the City’s website for public review. PROPOSAL FOR THE 1400 MONTEFINO AVENUE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT 17 Deliverables: • NOA and distribution list, NOI, NOD, and Summary Form for City review (MS Word and PDF format). • County Clerk and Recorder posting. • Public Circulation Draft of the IS/MND and MMP (MS Word and PDF format and five (5) hard copies, based upon the assumptions shown in our Cost Table). • OPR SCH CEQAnet posting of the Public Circulation Draft of the IS/MND, Notices and Summary Form. Task 5 – Response to Public Comments, Final IS/MND and MMP Upon completion of the assumed 20-day public circulation period for the IS/MND and MMP, Envicom will review and respond to all public and agency comments received during the comment period. Because the scope and complexity of comments cannot be known in advance, the level of effort required to prepare responses is difficult to predict. An estimated level of effort for this task is included in the Cost Table as a “not to exceed without prior authorization” amount. In the event that comments are more extensive than anticipated, any additional time required to prepare responses will be billed on a time-and-materials basis, or estimated in a change order, subject to mutual agreement and prior client authorization. In addition, Envicom will prepare draft Findings of Fact, as required under CEQA, to support the City’s adoption of the IS/MND. These findings will summarize the environmental analysis, document the City’s conclusions regarding potential impacts, and describe the applicable mitigation measures incorporated into the project. Deliverables: • Draft Response to Comments, Draft Final IS/MND and MMP (MS Word and PDF format) for City review. • Final Response to Comments, Final IS/MND and MMP (MS Word and PDF format and five (5) hard copies, based upon the assumptions shown in our Cost Table). • Draft Findings of Fact (MS Word and PDF format) for City review. • Final Findings of Fact (MS Word and PDF format). Task 6 – Project Management/Meetings/Team Coordination We recognize that effective coordination with City staff is essential to delivering high-quality work products, maintaining project momentum, and avoiding delays. To support this, we have included an estimated budget for project management, meetings/conference calls and coordination. As outlined in the RFP, our scope assumes participation in one (1) kick-off meeting, up to two (2) additional meetings with City staff to review work progress, resolve issues, review comments on administrative documents and receive direction as needed. In addition, we anticipate up to three (3) conference calls to discuss project status and environmental review matters (see number of hours assumed in Cost Table). We also anticipate attendance at two (2) public hearings to provide support related to the IS/MND analysis. As requested by the City, Envicom will submit monthly status reports covering such items as the progress of work, milestones achieved, resources expended, problems encountered, and corrective action taken. PROPOSAL FOR THE 1400 MONTEFINO AVENUE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT 18 TECHNICAL STUDIES SCOPE OF WORK Based on our review of the site plan and our list above on which technical analysis will be provided by team members, we assume that Envicom’s technical studies will address air quality and GHG, biological resources, cultural resources, noise and vibration, and tribal consultation assistance. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis Envicom will utilize data on the construction program and operational project characteristics to evaluate the air quality and GHG emissions impacts of the project. The studies will be conducted using South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and City approved methods and thresholds. • Coordinate with the project team to gather project data relevant to analysis of the significance of air quality criteria pollutants and GHGs. • Prepare an atmospheric environmental setting discussion for the project area based on data from the nearest SCAQMD air monitoring station. • Utilize the CalEEMod emissions estimator model to quantify the project’s anticipated emissions that will result from construction and operations. The applicant will provide an anticipated construction equipment list and activity durations to Envicom. If not available, Envicom will rely on standard assumptions for construction that are generated by the CalEEMod. • Employ SCAQMD’s quantitative significance thresholds for emissions of criteria pollutants by development projects to determine the potential significance of the project’s air pollutant emissions. • Discuss the potential for a carbon monoxide hotspot to result from the project, based upon SCAQMD Air Quality Management Plan guidance. • Prepare tables for use in the IS/MND that show estimated pollutant emissions for project construction and operations phases compared to SCAQMD CEQA thresholds. • Provide an analysis of project-related GHG emissions significance based on SCAQMD’s proposed thresholds of significance for GHG impacts, and/or consistency with the City’s currently adopted Climate Action Plan. • Provide brief justification for not including toxic air contaminant (TAC) or health risk assessment (HRA) analyses. • The analysis will be prepared for a single version of the project description data set. A preliminary CalEEMod run will be provided to establish a model-default equipment list; a second run will be provided after project team input. Further comments beyond that may require a change order. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis Assumptions • The project team will provide requested data and timing for the construction and operational phases of the project. Where team data is not available, CalEEMod defaults may be used. • An analysis of TAC and an HRA is assumed to not be needed. Upon request, Envicom can provide construction and operational HRAs for the project, with the use of a subconsultant. • The air quality and GHG analyses will be prepared from one version of the Project Description, project data, and traffic study. Revisions to the Project Description, construction data (equipment or duration), or traffic study may warrant additional costs. • The CalEEMod results and other technical background data will be provided in an appendix to the IS/MND. PROPOSAL FOR THE 1400 MONTEFINO AVENUE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT 19 Biological Resources Task 1: Biological Technical Report This task includes an analysis of general vegetation and wildlife within the project site, an assessment of the potential presence of special-status species, and an evaluation of jurisdictional habitats. It will also include an impact analysis of project-related activities on biological resources and the identification of appropriate mitigation measures, as applicable. The City’s Tree Protection Ordinance (Diamond Bar Code of Ordinances, Section 22.38) protects specific tree species and conditions. At this time, the species and condition of trees on the property are unknown. Should any protected trees be proposed for removal, or if construction is planned within a tree’s designated protection zone, compliance with the ordinance will be required and addressed accordingly. Task 1-1: Field Surveys Envicom biologists will conduct a literature review including the existing Special Status Species reports, the California Natural Diversity Database, and review of other published materials regarding biological resources on the site and in the region. Upon completion of the literature review, field surveys will be conducted to compile the biological resources inventory including vegetation communities, a list of species, and descriptions of plant communities, wildlife habitats, and special status species. We will traverse the proposed development areas in sufficient detail to identify important plant and animal associations present. Field notes, photographs and GPS data shall be used to prepare the vegetation map. Animals observed, or their sign will be documented. Task 1-2: Report Preparation The product of this task will be a stand-alone report including our methodology and findings with respect to biological resources. This task will also include a written discussion of the following data: • Setting – description of the site with maps and photographs. • Physical Characteristics – description of topography, previous site disturbance. • Vegetation – with reference to the plant species inventory, a description of the site’s plant communities and their distribution on the site (a map with major plant communities and other biological resources), and a list of species onsite. • Wildlife – following the plant community designations, a description of the animal species associated with those habitats, significant wildlife species or communities, and a list of species observed or expected on-site. • Sensitive Resources – lists of special status and sensitive habitats, plants, and animals observed or likely to occur in the study area, based on the results of the California Natural Diversity Data Base Search and field surveys. Description of any rare, threatened, or endangered species with potential to use the site. • Impacts – description of the anticipated impacts to sensitive biological resources that would occur as a result of the proposed development. • Mitigation – recommendations for mitigation measures to avoid, minimize, and/or offset the proposed impacts. The mitigation measures will be based upon recent experience in dealing with the Trustee Resource Agencies and will have a nexus to the project’s impacts. PROPOSAL FOR THE 1400 MONTEFINO AVENUE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT 20 Direct Costs Direct costs to be incurred in preparation of our scope of work include but would not be limited to materials and supplies, equipment usage, copying and communications charges. Direct costs will be billed pursuant to our 2025 Envicom Corporation Professional Fee Schedule (attached). Work Scope, Product Assumptions The task and costs described above, are based upon the following assumptions: • Topography and Project Plans – The topography and plans for the project shall be provided to Envicom in either shapefile (preferred) or CAD format with spatial reference included. If the shapefiles or CAD need to be georeferenced, re-projected, edited or modified in order to conduct our analysis, these services would be provided under separate proposal. • Electronic Files – All relevant reports, studies, surveys, and exhibits prepared for the project shall be made available, including electronic files of site topography. • Limits of Scope - Our work scope does not include: o An arborist survey or report of any oak trees or oak woodlands. o Preparation of additional and/or focused technical studies. o More than one round of revisions to the technical report per City comments. o Revisions to the technical report as a result of revisions to the project description. Cultural Resources Phase I Assessment/Survey Report, Including a Paleontological Resources Statement Envicom will complete a Phase I Cultural Resource Phase I assessment/survey of the project development footprint. This assessment includes a State of California cultural resource database record search at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) on the campus of the California State University Fullerton (the state cultural resource information center that covers Los Angeles County), a record search with the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), a record search at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHMLAC), and a physical survey of the property. The findings of the Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment record searches and the site survey will be included in a final Cultural Resources Phase I report. This proposal assumes that the cultural resource assessment will be negative, with the findings summarized in a professional letter report. If either the SCCIC record search or the site survey findings are positive for cultural resources, then a report that follows the California State Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) guidelines will be required, which will include additional background context information. Any positive findings report work will be completed under a change order that addresses the breadth and scope of the discovered findings as well as the enhanced report format. Documents Research Including SCCIC, NAHC, and NHMLAC Record Searches Envicom will complete various document records searches that encompass the project development footprint, plus a 0.25-mile radius collectively constituting the project “study area.” Research within the study area identifies whether previously known or recorded cultural resources are present, provides a regional cultural resource context for the project site, and helps assess cultural resource sensitivity for the project. PROPOSAL FOR THE 1400 MONTEFINO AVENUE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT 21 • Contact the SCCIC at California State University Fullerton and request a record search for previously identified prehistoric and historic cultural resources and technical studies that have been completed within the project study area. • Contact the NAHC and request that they review their Sacred Lands Inventory to determine if any previously identified Tribal Cultural Resources are located within the project study area. • Research historic map and aerial photograph archives for potential information on whether older historic cultural resources were once located in the project development footprint, and whether the project region should be considered as being sensitive for older historic cultural resources. • Contact the NHMLAC and request that they complete a paleontological record search for significant fossils that have previously been found within the project study area. Project Site Visit Envicom will complete a cultural resource physical systematic pedestrian survey of the project development footprint in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archaeological and Historic Preservation (48 FR 44716, Sept. 29, 1983). The survey will involve the visual examination of the project property only and will not involve subsurface testing. The site visit will also provide a visual context of existing site conditions for the project which will be compared to the findings from the record searches. The site visit will include a paleontological assessment of the project site, with any exposed soils being examined for Holocene or Pleistocene (or older) rock unit identification. Envicom anticipates that no cultural (or fossil) resources will be encountered by the pedestrian survey. However, if the pedestrian survey encounters previously known cultural resources located within or adjacent to the project development footprint, then such cultural resources will be reassessed with the current site conditions being updated on a California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) archaeological site record update form. Newly discovered cultural resources will also be recorded on a DPR site form. Completion of new or updated DPR site records will be considered an out-of-scope task, with the cost to produce the DPR(s) being dependent upon the complexity and number of cultural resources that are encountered and documented. Fossil resources may trigger additional assessment following NHMLAC recommendations. Report of Cultural and Fossil Resource Findings Envicom anticipates that the Cultural Resource Assessment will have negative findings and will prepare a draft letter report for the lead agency. The negative findings report will describe the findings from the literature search and pedestrian site visit. This proposal assumes that a negative findings report will be adequate for the project. If a positive findings report is needed, such a document will follow OHP guidelines and formatting, and will include a more extensive background context in order to better understand and interpret the importance of any identified cultural resources. Depending on the nature of the identified cultural resource(s) within the project development footprint, the contextual requirements of a positive findings cultural resource report may require out of scope writing or research tasks. Cultural Resources Phase I Assessment/Survey Assumptions • Envicom assumes that the record search and site visit findings will be negative for cultural resources. Any cultural resource not currently recorded with the SCCIC and that are discovered through field survey or any other research method as being located within the project development footprint will require the completion of an official DPR site record and possible further field assessment, which will be considered an out-of-scope task. PROPOSAL FOR THE 1400 MONTEFINO AVENUE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT 22 • Paleontological sensitivity for the site and recommendations will be reported in the cultural resource report and will be described in the Geology and Soils Section of any entitlement documents and in accordance with the latest state CEQA Checklist as applicable. If exposed rock units are observed by the field survey archaeologists, then a further paleontological survey may be recommended, which would be an out-of-scope cost. • Information regarding the Lead Agency’s tribal consultation efforts under AB-52 will be provided to us and added to the Tribal Cultural Resources Section in accordance with the latest state CEQA Checklist as applicable. • SCCIC and NHMLAC fees are not certain prior to the submittal of a request for a record search. Based on previous similar projects in the project area, Envicom anticipates that the NHMLAC fee will be roughly $300.00 and the SCCIC fees will be approximately $400.00. However, if the final information center invoices exceed this amount, any additional cost will be passed on to the Client with a 10% processing fee. o If deemed necessary, additional services beyond the negative findings scope of work described above can be provided under a separate work authorization. • Sensitive information found as a result of our studies and the City’s AB-52 outreach efforts will be kept confidential with the Lead Agency. A separate redacted version of our report can be prepared for public distribution. And a confidential version kept on file with the Lead Agency. Noise and Vibration Study Using our teaming partner, MD Acoustics, Envicom will provide a stand-alone Noise and Vibration study to be appended to the IS/MND and incorporated into the analysis. The study will analyze the short-term construction period and long-term operational noise, and vibration impacts of the project, providing responses to the applicable CEQA checklist questions, which will be attached in an Appendix to the IS/MND, and summarized in the IS/MND. Background Review and Baseline Conditions • Review relevant project and site background information, base graphics showing the site vicinity, the proposed project and adjacent land uses. • Discuss with the applicant project details, including the Technical Noise and Vibration Study approach, the existence of any known noise producers within or just outside the project area that need to be addressed within the technical study, and the best locations for noise measurements. • Conduct one (1) long-term measurement at the project site to document the baseline noise conditions and measure the min-by-min and hour-by-hour data over the 24-hour duration. Construction Noise and Vibration • Evaluate the potential for construction noise impacts associated with the buildout of the proposed project; determine if they are likely to exceed applicable City standards at sensitive receptors; and recommend mitigation measures to help reduce impacts to sensitive receptors if necessary. • Evaluate the potential for ground-borne vibration impacts associated with the buildout of the proposed project; determine if they are likely to result in vibration damage or annoyance or exceed applicable City standards at sensitive receptors; and recommend mitigation measures to help reduce impacts to sensitive receptors, if necessary. PROPOSAL FOR THE 1400 MONTEFINO AVENUE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT 23 Traffic Noise • Utilize a version of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Noise Prediction Model to determine the roadway noise impacts for all evaluated roadway segments and compare output levels to the City’s/CEQA noise standards. Evaluate the changes in noise level as it relates to CEQA and the City’s noise standards. • Summarize traffic noise modeling results and evaluate them in light of the City’s Noise Compatibility Matrix. Operational Noise • Qualitatively discuss and evaluate any potential project operational noise impacts from noise- generating uses (HVAC, parking, etc.) at the project site to adjacent uses and vice versa in light of applicable City standards, Specific and General Plans. Technical Noise and Vibration Report/CEQA Checklist Analysis • Provide a CEQA noise report that documents the existing noise environment, predicts the future noise environment, and discusses project noise impacts in light of the City’s General Plan, the Municipal Code, and the CEQA significance thresholds as presented in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. Review • MD Acoustics has included one (1) round of revisions based on Envicom and City comments. Response to Comments • Provide response to comments to Envicom’s comments, applicant comments, City comments, and public comments. Tribal Consultation Assistance We have also allotted time to assist the City with fulfilling Tribal Consultation Assistance, compliant with AB 52 requirements, including preparation of draft consultation letters and supporting materials, such as location maps, for submission to Native American Tribe(s). Envicom will also provide the City with instructions for successful AB 52 consultation. The hours assumed for this effort are provided in our Cost Table. We have not anticipated the need for formal tribal consultation meetings with the Lead Agency, Native American Tribal Group representatives, or other parties. However, to the extent that our budget (or contingency funds) would accommodate such a meeting, our staff can assist, as needed. PROPOSAL FOR THE 1400 MONTEFINO AVENUE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION PROJECT 24 5. BUDGET ESTIMATED Our attached Cost Table provides our estimated hours and cost by person, rate, and task, along with direct costs and subconsultants, to complete the anticipated scope of work, and our attached Fee Schedule lists our billing rates and direct cost fees. As shown, the proposed IS/MND and MMP scope of work will be completed on a time and materials basis according to the 2025 Envicom Corporation Professional Fee Schedule (attached) pursuant to the assumptions provided in this proposal and in our Cost Table (attached) for an amount not to exceed $86,698.00, which includes associated labor, direct costs, and technical studies.

REPRESENTATIVE PROJECT EXPERIENCE Paradise Valley Specific Plan EIR, Riverside County (Coachella Valley). Mr. Cullen was the principal in charge for the environmental consulting efforts that lead to the Program EIR and technical reports addressing a self- sustaining new town proposed in the Shavers Valley portion of Eastern Coachella Valley, in unincorporated Riverside County. Mr. Cullen oversaw the biological permitting consultation effort for the project, including the project’s MSHCP Joint Project Review process. The Specific Plan would guide development of approximately 8,500 residential units, 1.38 million square feet (sf) of commercial development and associated public facilities and infrastructure, including parks, trails, schools, and fire and sheriff facilities on a 2,000-acre development footprint within a 5,000-acre property ownership. The subject property will require the dedication of thousands of acres of land in open space conservation in compliance with Coachella Valley MSHCP. Self-sustaining features of the new town would include a mix of land-uses to reduce external commuting, use of solar energy, and provision of electric car chargers in residential garages and at specified commercial locations. Key issues for the project are biological resources, traffic, noise, views from the freeway and nearby parks and other public places, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions. A Climate Action Plan (CAP) has been prepared for the project, tiering off Riverside County’s CAP. Conrad N. Hilton Foundation LEED Platinum Headquarters Campus, City of Agoura Hills. Mr. Cullen provided project management for site planning, entitlement and CEQA compliance for the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation headquarters campus in the City of Agoura Hills.
