(LSA), Environmental Science Associates (ESAI, Environmental Planning Development Solutions (EPD), and Michael Baker International, Inc. (MBI) Statement of Issue: The Community Development Department requires on-call environmental consulting services for as- needed support in preparing documents for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Financial Impact: An appropriation to the general fund will be required when projects requiring CEQA review are confirmed through a task order. Each project will require a matching reimbursement agreement with a project applicant to fund the project at no cost to the City. Occasionally, some City-led projects may use these contracts for CEQA related work. For example, park development requiring CEQA documents may use these contracts; however, funding for the contracts in this situation would be paid out of the Parkland Development fund as collected through development impact fees. Recommended Action: A) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute $700,000 "Professional Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and LSA Associates, Inc. for On-Call Environmental (CEQA) Services"; and, DI Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute $700,000 Professional Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and Environmental Science Associates, for On-Call Environmental (CEQA) Services"; and, C) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute $700,000 "Professional Services City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 3 Printed on 4/3/2026 n / powered by LegistarT' ›Ide C/ ,dee fjl, 108 File #: 26-283 MEETING DATE: 4/7/2026 Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and Environmental Planning Development Solutions (EPD), for On-Call Environmental (CEQA) Services"; and, D) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute $700,000 "Professional Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and Michael Baker International, Inc., for On-Call Environmental (CEQA) Services". Alternative Action(s): Do not authorize the contracts and direct staff accordingly. Staff will not be able to utilize consultant services for these documents and direct staff to facilitate a different process for document preparation under CEQA. Analysis: On January 15, 2026, the City advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for On-Call Environmental (CEQA) Consulting Services. Proposals were requested and submitted in compliance with Chapter 3.03 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code. Twenty-three proposals were received. In accordance with qualifications-based selected procurement, per the Federal "Brooks Act", State SB 419, and the City of Huntington Beach Municipal Code Section 3.03 "Professional Services", the Community Development Department established a review board. Proposals were then evaluated and ranked by the review board. The top four firms were selected according to overall ranking. CEQA review is required for all discretionary projects proposed by applicants. For many planning applications, a project would be exempt from environmental review pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines. Some projects, however, require preparation of an environmental document such as a negative declaration or environmental impact report to comply with CEQA. These documents require technical studies on specific topics such as geology, hydrology, noise and air quality, which require expert analysis from qualified professionals in the respective field of study. Therefore, the Community Development Department contracts with professional consultants to assist in the preparation of CEQA documents. Preparation of a CEQA document usually adds a significant amount of time to the overall processing of a project. When an applicant submits a project, it takes about two months to start CEQA document preparation in order to obtain proposals and execute a contract with a consultant. This can add two months to an already lengthy process. The four contracts recommended for approval are for On-Call Environmental (CEQA) Services. By utilizing on-call CEQA services, the Community Development Department will be able to streamline the CEQA process for applicants and eliminate approximately two months of processing time from a project. The consultants selected will complete assignments as directed by staff through a proposal and confirmed by a task order. Each proposal will be prepared according to the needs for environmental reports for that particular project. The documents required by the California Environment Quality Act will be prepared by the consultant. Each task order issued will be matched with a reimbursement agreement with a project applicant that covers all expenses for the preparation of such documents by the assigned consultant. The financial impact of these activities is net neutral due to the required reimbursement agreement. Preparation of a CEQA document can vary significantly. The cost to prepare a CEQA document can range from $50,000 to $500,000 depending on the type and scope of project submitted. Therefore, City of Huntington Beach Page 2 of 3 Printed on 4/3/2026 1' s / Z powered by LegistarTM File #: 26-283 MEETING DATE: 4/7/2026 these consultants were selected to meet the projected workload over the next three years with a contract limit of $700,000. The proposed contract amounts are a not-to-exceed amount for a three- year term with no guarantee of work. Environmental Status: Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment do not constitute a project.

The policy retroactive date coincides with or precedes the initiation of the scope of work (including subsequent policies purchased as renewals or replacements). B. CONSULTANT shall notify CITY of circumstances or incidents that might give rise to future claims. CONSULTANT will make every effort to maintain similar insurance during the required extended period of coverage following PROJECT completion.

Environmental Science Associates (ESA) has supported the City of Huntington Beach in this effort for more than a decade as part of the City's environmental on-call team (and over a decade longer, considering the tenure both Terri Avila and Ruta Thomas have worked with the City prior to their time at ESA). During this time,we have worked closely with City staff to prepare a wide range of California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) documents and technical studies,developing a strong understanding of the City's planning framework,environmental challenges and goals, its coastal context, and community priorities.We appreciate the opportunity to submit this Statement of Qualifications to continue providing on-call environmental consulting services to the City. Huntington Beach faces a range of planning and environmental challenges, including redevelopment and infill development in largely built-out areas, projects within and near the coastal zone,sea-level rise and climate adaptation,preservation of biological and cultural resources, mobility and public safety,and the provision of parks and community facilities. Many of these projects are high-profile and generate significant public interest, underscoring the need for clear, defensible,and well-communicated environmental analyses. ESA is well positioned to support the City in addressing these challenges.As a 100 percent employee- owned,California-based firm with more than 55 years of experience, ESA's core practice is the preparation of CEQA compliance documents and associated technical studies. Our multidisciplinary team includes in-house specialists in air quality,greenhouse gas emissions,energy, noise, biology, Environmental Science Associates esassoc.com Page 2 February 12,2026 cultural and tribal cultural resources,geology and hazards, hydrology and water quality,traffic and transportation, and coastal planning.This integrated structure allows us to efficiently tailor the level of environmental review to each project while maintaining legal defensibility and cost-effective delivery. ESA's experience in Huntington Beach is extensive and current. Recent work includes preparation of the Pacific Airshow Environmental Impact Report,acquisition of the Pacific Airshow Coastal Development Permit,the Addendum to the Final Master Environmental Impact Report for Master Plan of Recreation Uses for Central Park,City of Huntington Beach,California-Symphony of the Flowers Project,and ongoing environmental support for redevelopment, infrastructure,and special event projects.Through this work, ESA has developed strong working relationships with City staff and a nuanced understanding of local issues,community concerns,and Coastal Act considerations. On-call services will be led by Project Director Terri Avila,who brings nearly 40 years of experience guiding CEQA strategy for complex planning, infrastructure,and coastal development projects throughout Southern California,including decades of work in Huntington Beach. Day-to-day project execution will be managed by Brian Allee,who will serve as the City's primary point of contact and will oversee coordination across technical disciplines. Together,they will provide consistent oversight, proactive communication,and rigorous quality assurance/quality control for each task order,as they have demonstrated in the recent past. ESA's approach emphasizes early coordination,clear scoping, and a "right hammer for the right nail" philosophy, providing the appropriate level of environmental review to meet CEQA requirements while supporting efficient project processing. Our track record reflects a strong history of preparing clearly written and defensible environmental documents that withstand legal challenge. The enclosed Statement of Qualifications demonstrates our relevant experience, proposed staffing, technical capabilities, and commitment to responsive service. ESA is prepared to execute the City's professional services agreement and comply with all contractual and insurance requirements. ESA's consultant fees and hourly rates,as included in this submittal,will be valid for a period of at least 180 days from the date of submission. We look forward to continuing our long-standing partnership with the City of Huntington Beach in support of its planning and environmental goals.

The Bid posting attracted 23 firms to submit proposals of qualifications. • The Community Development Department formed a review committee to review the proposals. The top four firms were selected for award of an on-call contract. \\N1i.cT A. c : af Analysis � � �oe • Each contract requested for approval would be for the same amount. Consultants will still be required to submit proposals for any new project that is requested and a task order will be issued to confirm scope of work. There is no guarantee of work for any consultant. • Preparation of a CEQA Document can vary greatly from $50,000 to $500,000. The total amount of the contracts is an estimated total of workload over the next 3 years. The CEQA work is primarily funded by the Developer/Applicant through a Reimbursement agreement that is formally executed through the City Attorney's office. 337 Recommendation 111 Approve and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute contracts for $700,000 each for the following consultants: • LSA Associates (LSA) • Environmental Science Associates (ESA) • Environmental Planning Development (EPD) Solutions • Michael Baker International, Inc.
