Figueroa Street Suite 2050 Los Angeles, CA 90017 City of Diamond Bar EGCAOAK007732.2025 1 COVER LETTER May 15, 2025 Nicholas Delgado, Management Analyst City of Diamond Bar 21810 Copley Drive Diamond Bar, CA 91765 RE: Proposal for Diamond Bar Civic Center Sustainability Study Dear Mr. Delgado and Members of the Selection Committee: Congratulations on the City of Diamond Bar’s (City) Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) award to support the Civic Center Sustainability Study. This study and its outcomes will position the City to continue strengthening its commitment to a more sustainable future and to comply with California regulations. Kimley-Horn, one of the nation’s premier engineering, planning, and design consulting firms, has assembled a strong team of in-house clean transportation and clean energy specialists to evaluate the existing electrical infrastructure at the City’s Civic Center and to forecast future energy demand and identify improvements needed to support the transition to sustainable technologies. We offer: An accelerated timeline. Kimley-Horn can complete the scope of work within six months of the City’s notice to proceed (NTP). This will help City staff prepare for programming the associated design project into the City’s FY 2026/27 Capital Improvement Program. Thoughtful staging of tasks to maximize benefits to the City. Instead of delivering tasks in the order outlined in the RFP, Kimley-Horn has proposed a small but meaningful modification: rather than completing the forecast of electrical demand early in the project lifecycle, we propose delivering the final forecast shortly after completing analyses related to EV charging, onsite solar generation, and battery storage/backup generation. This will allow us to more accurately forecast the demand increases associated with EV charging, characterize potential offsets associated with onsite generation, and minimize the impacts of these technologies on the Civic Center’s overall electric demand forecast. Industry-leading expertise in clean transportation and clean energy technologies. Kimley-Horn has planned, designed, and/or permitted more than 30,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations nationwide. We have supported more than 4,100 solar and 400 battery energy storage projects, totaling over 80 gigawatts of power. Our team has the skills and experience to deliver a rigorous Sustainability Study. We are excited to continue our history of partnership with the City to deliver a thorough and actionable Sustainability Study for the City’s Civic Center. We appreciate your time and consideration of our proposal. Should you need any additional information, please contact our proposed project manager Jenna McDavid at 510.289.8379 or jenna.mcdavid@kimley-horn.com. Sincerely, KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC.

Following the Master Plan, we prepared a Strategic Plan to guide implementation of key initiatives over the next 5 years. • Confidential Medium- and Heavy-Duty EV Charging Hub Operator, Multiple Charging Hub Design Projects, California and Southwestern US. Kimley-Horn has planned and designed several electric truck charging hub sites for this client, including two sites in Arizona (one with up to five 350kW EV charging stations, a 1MW battery storage system, 500kW solar PV canopies) and a hub in Riverside County, California with 88 350kW EV Charging Stations, 22 1 MW EV Charging Stations, a 4MW BESS, and an 8MW PV system. Work involved detailed site assessments, feasibility assessments for various BESS technologies (including different battery chemistries and sizes), and developing design documents from conceptual design through final construction documents. • Mercedes-Benz and MN8 Energy, USA Headquarters Charging Hub Experience, Sandy Springs, GA. Kimley-Horn provided professional planning, engineering, and landscape architecture for the development of Mercedes-Benz’s flagship EV Charging Experience Center. This site serves as a prototype model to be replicated throughout the country to provide EV drivers a luxury EV charging experience. This project features a charging hub with eight EV chargers, an advanced solar canopy with motion sensor activated lighting, and a small amenity building/lounge. Our team collaborated closely with project stakeholders to expedite site assessment, concept development, final design, permitting, and construction for the project within 6 months of plan submittal. • Emory University, Multiple Feasibility and Rooftop/Canopy Solar Projects, Atlanta, GA. Kimley-Horn performed a feasibility study for solar infrastructure additions at more than 20 facilities across the Emory University campus. Based on this work, we provided structural engineering services for the addition of solar canopies atop five existing parking structures at Emory University that provide 2,400 kW of solar energy generation potential. We verified the existing parking structures’ load capacity to support the solar canopies, designed the canopies and their attachments to the parking structures, and reviewed construction phase erection equipment and material staging to safeguard the parking decks during construction. We recently supported the University’s ongoing efforts to expand parking deck solar installations by providing electrical and structural engineering services for another solar canopy that includes a behind-the-meter 587 kWdc/500 kWac system with support for future EV chargers and BESS integration. • Cherry Street Energy, Porsche North American Headquarters, Atlanta, GA. Kimley-Horn provided a campus-wide solar feasibility analysis for a parking structure, multiple building rooftops, and canopies at grade at Porsche’s North American Headquarters in Atlanta. Kimley-Horn was the engineer of record (EOR) for the parking structure as well as the structural and electrical EOR for the canopy structure. Because our client (Cherry Street Energy) provided complete engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) scope, Kimley- Horn was engaged in all aspects of the project cost cycle.

Eland Solar is a 200-megawatt solar development project approximately 5 miles north of California City. Project facilities include single-axis trackers, onsite network of roads, substation pad, BESS storage pad, operations and maintenance (O&M) building and security fences. Roads were laid out in a way to limit the length as much as possible while still meeting the Kern County Fire Department requirements concerning to perimeter roads and fire breaks around the exterior of the project. The project was adjacent to numerous existing and future residential properties and therefore two fence designs were proposed, one with slats for addition screening near the residences and one without. Grading was conducted in a manner such that only specific areas which violated tracker racking tolerance were graded, limiting the area of disturbance which limits the amount of permanent stabilization and erosion control required. An existing Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Zone A falls within the southwest portion of the site. Plans were designated to have no grading within these areas and piles lengths will be adjusted in this area to accommodate racking tolerances while avoiding grading and the need to submit the plans for approval with FEMA. A hydrologic and hydraulic analysis was completed in order to model the entire offsite watershed as well as the onsite properties. This analysis included a two-dimensional analysis which modeled inundation depths and runoff velocities, which were then used to calculate local pier scour across the site. The information from the analysis was used to determine the optimum lengths of piles, one that projects all critical electrical equipment above the inundation depth and has sufficient embedment to account for scour loss. This analysis also aided in the grading of the O&M building, Substation, and BESS pads. • Estrella And El Campo Solar and BESS Facility, Los Angeles County, CA. Estrella and El Campo Solar consists of a total of 56 MWac of solar PV generation and a combined 112 megawatt hour (MWh) (28 MW x four hours) of BESS. The Estrella and El Campo Solar Project combined with the Raceway Solar Project will generate a total of 181 MWac of power and up to 188 MWh of alternating current (AC) coupled BESS. El Campo is located on the two southernmost parcels, Estrella on the next two parcels to the northeast, and Raceway on multiple parcels in the northeast. Estrella will house up to 80 MW (two hours) of Accoupled BESS for Raceway on the El Campo parcel. Estrella will contain up to a 28 MW (four hours) of AC-coupled BESS located on the El Campo parcel. The combined project will deliver energy to the 220-kilovolt (kV) Big Sky North Substation via a shared approximately 6.8 miles of overhead gen-tie transmission lines. The project switchyard for both Raceway and Estrella will be located in the southwest corner of the El Campo parcel. • Confidential Client, Fatal Flaw Analysis, Site Surveys, and Code Consultation for Solar and Storage Development, Mason County, WA. Kimley-Horn conducted a fatal flaw analysis and biological and wetland surveys, and are working through a code consultation with Mason County to support a proposed a hybrid solar and storage project. Kimley-Horn evaluated both federal and state resources across the 7,130-acre site. Our analysis identified suitable buildable area, and a permitting strategy resulting in subsequent scope to support Mason County in developing solar friendly land use code. The project is one site of a nationwide portfolio for a national private client. • Hanwha QCells, Appaloosa Solar, Garfield County, WA. Kimley-Horn is currently supporting the Appaloosa Solar project which will consist of 300 MW of alternating current (AC) solar photovoltaic arrays with a battery storage facility capable of storing up to 150 MW of energy. Our team conducted a feasibility study investigating the site’s infrastructure, load capacity, environmental constraints, and potential cultural resource conflicts. The solar panel array system will be interconnected with underground AC electrical lines to a project substation. A new above ground transmission line approximately 2.5 miles long will interconnect to Puget Sound Energy’s Phalen Gulch 230 kV substation. The project will require approximately 27 miles of new and improved roads for project construction and maintenance. • Confidential Client, Critical Issues Analysis for Energy Storage Project, Multiple Counties, WA. Kimley-Horn conducted critical issues analyses with site visits to summarize and assess potential environmental constraints for multiple energy storage projects with supporting infrastructure in Yamhill County, Linn County, and Umatilla County, respectively. Our team reviewed state and federal resource mapping and data to create a critical issues analysis report and aquatics resources delineation report for each of the sites. We also used state and federal tools to evaluate farmland and habitat on the sites . • Confidential Building Supply/Farm Supply Retail Chain, Strategy and Design Standards for EV Charging, Solar, and BESS, Nationwide, US. Kimley-Horn is providing executive-level support to the Company in support of their sustainability strategy. These initiatives include incorporating EV chargers, rooftoop solar, and BESS into all new California stores and supporting their consideration regarding other locations in which to deploy these technologies. We have provided a summary of regulatory requirements for these technologies in all 50 U.S. states, including Washington, DC, and developed the technical questionnaire for inclusion in the Company’s RFP for technology partners to own, operate, and maintain the equipment at Company sites. We supported vendor vendor screening and selection processes. The company is currently in the process of executing a contract with the selected vendor. Once established, Kimley- Horn will work closely with the selected vendor to develop design standards for incorporating these technologies into two standardized store designs and incorporating these design standards into the company’s broader handbook of store design standards. PREPARED FOR: City of Diamond Bar PREPARED BY: DIAMOND BAR CIVIC CENTER SUSTAINABILITY STUDY PROPOSAL FOR City of Diamond Bar EGCAOAK007732.2025 15 3. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING Core Tasks Below we summarize our proposed approach to the six core tasks in the City’s RFP. TASK 1. Electrical Infrastructure Evaluation Kimley-Horn’s project manager will request as-built plans for the Civic Center site, buildings, and parking lot as well as 12 consecutive months of electric bills (or consolidated billing data from Southern California Edison) for the facility. Upon receipt of these materials, we will work closely with City staff to identify a mutually agreeable day and time for up to two members of Kimley-Horn’s engineering team to conduct a site visit. It will be important for a City representative to accompany the Kimley-Horn team to provide access to restricted or gated areas and locked rooms, as relevant. During the site visit, the team will: • Examine electrical panels and subpanels and other existing electrical infrastructure serving the site • Evaluate the condition of current electrical systems • Evaluate the interior and exterior lighting control system for efficiency, functionality, and integration with energy-saving technologies • Examine current backup generator systems • Assess surface level pavement conditions that may impact EV chargers, solar carports, or BESS • Assess potential locations for installation of required accessible EV chargers and review existing site ADA compliance from potential EV locations to the right-of-way or Civic Center facility • Kimley-Horn will utilize a 24” smart level to determine and record existing parking lot, curb ramp, and sidewalk slopes • Document the above information and other site conditions (including equipment nameplates) with photographs After obtaining the above, the team will produce a site assessment report that: • Documents existing site conditions, including (as relevant) the location and capacity of existing solar photovoltaic systems, EV chargers for public and fleet use, and BESS (if any) • Characterizes the total electrical capacity and remaining capacity at the site • Describes any key findings regarding the conditions of existing pavement at surface level, electrical infrastructure, and so on that may affect future infrastructure deployments • Assesses the condition and code compliance of current electrical systems • Identifies opportunities to improve efficiency, functionality, and/or integration of the interior and exterior lighting control system, as relevant Deliverables for this task include: ◢Draft site assessment report ◢Final site assessment report For all deliverables associated with this project, Kimley-Horn anticipates one round of comments on the draft deliverable. Additional review may incur additional fee. TASK 2. Forecast of Future Electrical Demand The objective of this task is to provide as accurate a forecast of future electrical demand as possible. With the exception of the proposed meeting of key City staff (which should occur early in the project period) Kimley-Horn recommends staging this task after Tasks 3, 4, and 5 are completed. This is because the equipment types, quantities, and deployment timelines for EV chargers, solar carports, electrical infrastructure upgrades, and so on will impact total demand estimates. For example, if the City deploys public EV chargers immediately and waits two years to deploy fleet chargers, this will impact electricity requirements in year one and year three. If the City deploys solar carports in year two, this will offset the site’s overall electrical requirements in subsequent years. Staging the task in this manner enables us to ultimately deliver a more accurate forecast than completing the forecast earlier in the project period. PREPARED FOR: City of Diamond Bar PREPARED BY: DIAMOND BAR CIVIC CENTER SUSTAINABILITY STUDY PROPOSAL FOR City of Diamond Bar EGCAOAK007732.2025 16 To accomplish this, Kimley-Horn will: • Convene a meeting with key City staff to review the desired site improvements or additions including EV charging stations for public and fleet use, solar carports, and/or BESS. This meeting will allow the Kimley-Horn team to understand the following (as relevant): • Any limitations or restrictions to site usage; preferences or requirements regarding infrastructure locations, minimum/maximum sizes or quantities (e.g., a not-to-exceed quantity of public EV chargers); the critical building systems City staff must maintain in the event of a power outage; and other considerations • Any plans or expectations regarding timelines for transitioning City fleet vehicles to EVs (if available) and/or the City’s vehicle replacement policies or timelines (e.g., the City may replace vehicles when they reach a certain age or mileage) • Any concerns regarding current backup generation systems • Any plans or expectations to expand the facilities and/or amenities at the Civic Center site If City staff are amenable, this meeting can occur early during the project period to provide a clearer understanding of site requirements and preferences (e.g., if a specific subset of the parking lot should be considered “off limits” for public EV chargers or if City staff prefers solar carports in one location versus another). Having this information up front better positions us to deliver conceptual layouts that meet the City’s preferences and requirements. • Develop implementation timelines in close coordination with City staff for the above activities –for example, when fleet EV chargers will be needed on the site (based on the fleet transition timeline) and/or when BESS may be deployed, as relevant • Forecast electricity demand in the near-term and longer-term based on assumptions derived from the steps above and data on current electricity use (obtained as part of Task 1). This will include electricity demand associated fleet and public EV charger deployments; additional solar photovoltaic and/or BESS deployments; and any potential future expansions at the site Deliverables for this task include: ◢Summary of any relevant limitations, restrictions, preferences, or requirements from City staff related to infrastructure locations, sizes, quantities, or other key characteristics ◢Draft memorandum detailing the demand forecast approach and results with illustrative exhibits ◢Final memorandum TASK 3. EV Charging Infrastructure Planning Leveraging the site assessment from Task 1 and information regarding City staff preferences or requirements regarding infrastructure locations, sizes, and/or quantities from Task 2, Kimley-Horn will identify feasible location options for fleet EV charger deployments and public EV charger deployments at the Civic Center. Kimley-Horn will prepare up to three site exhibits using publicly available aerial photography of the site identifying any impact on parking layout including loss or relocation of existing parking stalls to accommodate the EV chargers. Kimley-Horn staff will present these options to City staff in a virtual meeting and obtain feedback regarding the optimal locations for each EV charging application (fleet and public). Based on feedback from City staff, Kimley-Horn will identify the optimal locations and quantities for fleet and public EV chargers at the Civic Center and will prepare a conceptual site plan. Public EV chargers must also comply with requirements in Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California Building Code (CBC) to provide accessibility for individuals with disabilities. These requirements including parking stall dimensions, accessibility routes, signage, and other considerations. The team will develop recommendations regarding how the City can comply with these requirements as well as federal, state, and local codes and standards (as relevant). Deliverables for this task include: ◢Inputs to the conceptual site plan (preliminary design) for Task 6 PREPARED FOR: City of Diamond Bar PREPARED BY: DIAMOND BAR CIVIC CENTER SUSTAINABILITY STUDY PROPOSAL FOR City of Diamond Bar EGCAOAK007732.2025 17 TASK 4. Sustainability Enhancements The purpose of this task is to analyze the feasibility of (and provide conceptual recommendations for) four sets of technologies: 1. Solar carports in parking areas 2. BESS for backup power or peak shaving 3. Renewable energy opportunities that enhance site resilience and reduce operating costs 4. Emergency backup generator system improvements Leveraging the site assessment from Task 1 and discussion with City staff from Task 2, Kimley-Horn will document the following for each of the technologies above, as relevant: • Site suitability, including orientation, shading, space requirements, soil/pavement conditions, and accessibility • Technical feasibility, including the system size, equipment clearances, structural requirements, and interconnection to the electric grid • Financial feasibility, including high-level order-of-magnitude estimates of capital and operational costs and characterize the potential magnitude of savings from electricity bill offsets (as relevant) for each technology • Regulatory feasibility, including zoning requirements, permitting needs, and potential easements • Other considerations, such as potential implications for stormwater management Deliverables for this task include: ◢Draft memorandum characterizing feasibility for each technology ◢Final memorandum ◢Inputs to the conceptual site plan (preliminary design) for Task 6 TASK 5. Infrastructure Recommendations This task leverages the site assessment from Task 1 as well as discussions with City staff and electrical forecasts from Task 2 to characterize whether or how the Civic Center’s current electrical system should be improved or replaced to accommodate projected future electrical needs at the site. Kimley-Horn will recommend the necessary electrical infrastructure upgrades to accommodate future needs related to fleet and public EV charging, solar carports, backup generators/BESS, and other potential expansion or adjustment to site facilities or amenities as characterized in Task 2. Depending upon the scope and scale of necessary improvements, the Kimley-Horn team may suggest the City consider a phased approach to implementing these upgrades. Deliverables for this task include: ◢Inputs to the conceptual site plan (preliminary design) and phasing strategy for Task 6 TASK 6. Conceptual Plan and Deliverables This task involves producing a concise and actionable Sustainability Study that summarizes the approach, results, and recommendations from all preceding tasks. The Study will include the following: • Table of contents • Summary of study goals and objectives • Approach, tasks, and analytical methods • Forecast of future electrical demand at the Civic Center • Summary of the feasibility analysis results • Recommendations regarding electrical infrastructure upgrades, EV charger types and quantities (for public and fleet use), solar carports, BESS, and upgrades to backup generation systems (as relevant), including any relevant phasing strategies • A conceptual site plan (preliminary design based off aerial photography) that demonstrates the potential locations of new or updated infrastructure at the site • Note this will include revised parking configurations that address ADA requirements and document any stall loss or relocation, as relevant • Relevant appendices (e.g., the site assessment report from Task 1) PREPARED FOR: City of Diamond Bar PREPARED BY: DIAMOND BAR CIVIC CENTER SUSTAINABILITY STUDY PROPOSAL FOR City of Diamond Bar EGCAOAK007732.2025 18 Deliverables for this task include: ◢Conceptual Site Plan demonstrating the quantities, types, locations, and configurations of proposed site improvements and new technology deployments ◢Draft Sustainability Study ◢Virtual presentation and discussion of the draft Sustainability Study with City staff ◢Final Sustainability Study Optional Tasks The RFP includes two optional tasks (A and B) which we describe in further detail below. We also summarize additional optional tasks that the City may wish to pursue. OPTIONAL TASK A. Utility Coordination and Incentive Identification Utility Coordination. Kimley-Horn regularly coordinates with utility representatives on behalf of our clients and their projects. As part of this task, Kimley-Horn will conduct outreach to SCE or other applicable utility providers to discuss electrical service needs and upgrade options. Our utility coordination support may include establishing initial contact with the utility, preparing project applications, providing single line diagrams and establishing service requests, engaging with utility incentive program staff, reviewing utility preliminary utility findings and proposed service designs, and obtaining information regarding incentive programs that may be available to offset the City’s costs for deploying new technologies and infrastructure. Development of SCE-required design plans and Computer Aided Drafting & Design (CADD) files would be addressed in a separate task. We typically price these services on an hourly not-to-exceed basis. Incentive Identification. Kimley-Horn will leverage an internal GrantSource tool to identify applicable funding opportunities (e.g., grants, rebates, etc.) from federal, state, and local sources. We also conduct supplemental research to help the City offset the costs associated with acquiring, installing, operating, and/or maintaining the public and fleet EV chargers, solar photovoltaic systems, backup generators/BESS, and general electrical infrastructure. We will briefly characterize each relevant offering including the program name, grantor, minimum or maximum project size, relevant equipment, and so on in a memorandum to City staff. Kimley-Horn can also provide funding application support via a separate task. Our team has supported our clients with more than $1 billion in successful grant applications over the past five years. We typically offer this service for a fixed fee of $2,500 but can approach this as an hourly task if preferred. OPTIONAL TASK B. Financial Planning and Phasing Strategy Kimley-Horn can develop rough order of magnitude costs and/or opinions of probable construction costs related to the City’s desired electrical infrastructure upgrades and sustainability improvements. Depending upon the scope and scale of these efforts, the team can recommend a phased approach to implementation that accommodates the City’s financial needs and other potential resource constraints (e.g., staff time). We can also outline potential strategies to offset costs such that they match available resources (e.g., third-party ownership and operation of public EV charging infrastructure, etc.). Additional Optional Tasks City staff may wish to consider the additional optional tasks below. Kimley-Horn would be pleased to provide further detail for these tasks upon request, including fees and timelines. Additional optional tasks include: • ALTA/topographic survey (including Title Commitment) • This will be required as part of a new service application to SCE. • Design/construction documents • Permitting research • Entitlement and permitting support • Funding application support • Stormwater compliance assessment • Landscape architecture • Lighting design • Signage and striping design • Other electrical engineering designs (low voltage, site security, fire alarm systems, facility upgrades) • CEQA review and documentation preparation • And more!
