Consultant hereby acknowledges that it accepts the Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 Page 4 of 18 risk that the Services to be provided pursuant to the Scope of Services may be more costly or time consuming than Consultant anticipates, and that Consultant shall not be entitled to additional compensation, therefore. It is expressly agreed that the maximum contract amount of this Agreement is undefined and is subject to the number and type of projects requiring the Consultant’s Services throughout the duration of the term of this Agreement, if any. Consultant’s compensation shall be limited to the Maximum Contract Amount identified on each separate, individually authorized Task Order corresponding to a project requiring the services of the Consultant.

This Agreement is subject to and contingent upon funds being appropriated therefore by the Palm Springs City Council for each fiscal year covered by the Agreement.

SCHEDULE OF PERFORMANCE 3.1 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement. The time for completion of the Services to be performed by Consultant is an essential condition of this Agreement. Consultant shall prosecute regularly and diligently the Work of this Agreement according to the agreed upon Schedule of Performance for each Task Order. Neither Party shall be accountable for delays in performance caused by any condition beyond the reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of the non-performing Party. Delays shall not entitle Consultant to any additional compensation regardless of the Party responsible for the delay.

In the event the City Manager determines that the Work or Services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Consultant agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the City Manager or his designee. Consultant shall immediately substitute any insurer whose A.M. Best rating drops below the levels specified herein. Except as otherwise authorized below Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 Page 8 of 18 for professional liability (errors and omissions) insurance, all insurance provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be on an occurrence basis.

(3) In the event the policy of insurance is written on an “occurrence” basis, the policy shall be continued in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, or until completion of the Services provided for in this Agreement, whichever is later. In the event of termination of the policy during this period, new coverage shall immediately be obtained to ensure coverage during the entire course of performing the Services under the terms of this Agreement. B. Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Consultant shall obtain and maintain, in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, workers’ compensation insurance in at least the minimum statutory amounts, and in compliance with all other statutory requirements, as required by the State of California.

The following provisions shall apply to the insurance policies required of Consultant pursuant to this Agreement: A. For any claims related to this Agreement, Consultant’s coverage shall be primary insurance as respects City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be in excess of Consultant’s insurance and shall not contribute with it. B. Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies, including breaches of warranties, shall not affect coverage provided to City and its officers, council members, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. C. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Consultant and available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to each insured, including additional insureds, against whom a claim is made, or suit is brought to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City, or its operations shall limit the application of such insurance coverage. D. None of the insurance coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement which substantially impairs the coverages set forth herein (e.g., elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period), unless the endorsement has first been submitted to the City Manager and approved in writing. E. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify insurance endorsements to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the endorsements. Certificates of insurance will not be accepted in lieu of required Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 Page 10 of 18 endorsements, and submittal of certificates without required endorsements may delay commencement of the Project. It is Consultant’s obligation to ensure timely compliance with all insurance submittal requirements as provided herein. F. Consultant agrees to ensure that subconsultants, and any other parties involved with the Project who are brought onto or involved in the Project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subconsultants and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to the City for review. G. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard. H. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. Endorsements as required in this Agreement applicable to the renewing or new coverage shall be provided to City no later than ten (10) days prior to expiration of the lapsing coverage. I. Requirements of specific insurance coverage features, or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits, or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive. J. The requirements in this section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this section. K. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the Work performed under this Agreement and for any other claim or loss which may reduce the insurance available to pay claims arising out of this Agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City, or to reduce or dilute insurance available for payment of potential claims. L. Consultant agrees that the provisions of this section shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages resulting from the Consultant’s activities or the activities of any person or person for which the Consultant is otherwise responsible. 5.4 Sufficiency of Insurers. Insurance required herein shall be provided by authorized insurers in good standing with the State of California. Coverage shall be provided by insurers admitted in the State of California with an A.M. Best’s Key Rating of B++, Class VII, or better, unless such requirements are waived in writing by the City Manager or his designee due to unique circumstances. Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 Page 11 of 18 5.5 Verification of Coverage. Consultant shall furnish City with both certificates of insurance and endorsements, including additional insured endorsements, affecting all of the coverages required by this Agreement. The certificates and endorsements are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. All proof of insurance is to be received and approved by the City before work commences. City reserves the right to require Consultant’s insurers to provide complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at any time. Additional insured endorsements are not required for Errors and Omissions and Workers’ Compensation policies. Verification of Insurance coverage may be provided by: (1) an approved General and/or Auto Liability Endorsement Form for the City of Palm Springs or (2) an acceptable Certificate of Liability Insurance Coverage with an approved Additional Insured Endorsement with the following endorsements stated on the certificate: A. "The City of Palm Springs, its officials, employees, and agents are named as an additional insured…” ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No.___" or "for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement). B. "This insurance is primary and non-contributory over any insurance or self-insurance the City may have..." ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No.___" or "for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement). C. "Should any of the above described policies be canceled before the expiration date thereof, the issuing company will mail 30 days written notice to the Certificate Holder named." Language such as, “endeavor to” mail and "but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or representative" is not acceptable and must be crossed out. D. Both the Workers’ Compensation and Employers' Liability policies shall contain the insurer's waiver of subrogation in favor of City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers. In addition to the endorsements listed above, the City of Palm Springs shall be named the certificate holder on the policies. All certificates of insurance and endorsements are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. All certificates of insurance must be authorized by a person with authority to bind coverage, whether that is the authorized agent/broker or insurance underwriter. Failure to obtain the required documents prior to the commencement of work shall not waive the Consultant’s obligation to provide them. 6. INDEMNIFICATION 6.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall defend (at Consultant’s sole cost and expense), indemnify, protect, and hold harmless City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers (collectively the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all liabilities, actions, suits, claims, demands, losses, costs, judgments, arbitration awards, settlements, damages, demands, orders, penalties, and expenses including legal costs and reasonable attorney fees (collectively “Claims”), including but not limited to Claims arising from injuries to or death of persons (Consultant’s employees included), for damage to property, including property owned by City, for any violation of any applicable Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 Page 12 of 18 federal, state, or local law or ordinance or to the extent arising out of, pertaining to, or relating to any acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct committed by Consultant, its officers, employees, representatives, and agents, that arise out of or relate to Consultant’s performance of Services or this Agreement. This indemnification clause excludes Claims arising from the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Under no circumstances shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to limit Consultant’s indemnification obligation or other liability under this Agreement. Consultant’s indemnification obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement until all actions against the Indemnified Parties for such matters indemnified are fully and finally barred by the applicable statute of limitations or, if an action is timely filed, until such action is final. 6.2 If Consultant’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Consultant’s performance as a “design professional” (as that term is defined under Civil Code section 2782.8), then, and only to the extent required by Civil Code section 2782.8, which is fully incorporated herein, Consultant’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to the extent which the Claims arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant in the performance of the Services or this Agreement, and, upon Consultant obtaining a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction, Consultant’s liability for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not exceed the Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault. 7. REPORTS AND RECORDS 7.1 Accounting Records. Consultant shall keep complete, accurate, and detailed accounts of all time, costs, expenses, and expenditures pertaining in any way to this Agreement. Consultant shall keep such books and records as shall be necessary to properly perform the Services required by this Agreement and to enable the Contract Officer to evaluate the performance of such Services. The Contract Officer shall have full and free access to such books and records at all reasonable times, including the right to inspect, copy, audit, and make records and transcripts from such records. 7.2 Reports. Consultant shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the Services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer shall require. Consultant hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of the Work to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Consultant agrees that if Consultant becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the Work contemplated herein or, if Consultant is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Consultant shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of such fact, circumstance, technique, or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Consultant is providing design services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed. 7.3 Ownership of Documents. All drawings, specifications, reports, records, documents, memoranda, correspondence, computations, and other materials prepared by Consultant, its employees, subconsultants, and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be promptly delivered to City upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Consultant shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership of the documents and materials hereunder. Any use of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of incomplete documents without Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 Page 13 of 18 specific written authorization by the Consultant will be at the City's sole risk and without liability to Consultant, and the City shall indemnify the Consultant for all damages resulting therefrom. Consultant may retain copies of such documents for its own use. Consultant shall have an unrestricted right to use the concepts embodied therein. Consultant shall ensure that all its subconsultants shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event, Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. 7.4 Release of Documents. All drawings, specifications, reports, records, documents, and other materials prepared by Consultant in the performance of Services under this Agreement shall not be released publicly without the prior written approval of the Contract Officer. All information gained by Consultant in the performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential and shall not be released by Consultant without City’s prior written authorization. 7.5 Audit and Inspection of Records. After receipt of reasonable notice and during the regular business hours of City, Consultant shall provide City, or other agents of City, such access to Consultant’s books, records, payroll documents, and facilities as City deems necessary to examine, copy, audit, and inspect all accounting books, records, work data, documents, and activities directly related to Consultant’s performance under this Agreement. Consultant shall maintain such books, records, data, and documents in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall clearly identify and make such items readily accessible to such parties during the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years from the date of final payment by City hereunder. 8. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT 8.1 California Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted both as to validity and as to performance of the Parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim, or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Riverside, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such County, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. 8.2 Interpretation. This Agreement shall be construed as a whole according to its fair language and common meaning to achieve the objectives and purposes of the Parties. The terms of this Agreement are contractual and the result of negotiation between the Parties. Accordingly, any rule of construction of contracts (including, without limitation, California Civil Code Section 1654) that ambiguities are to be construed against the drafting party, shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. The caption headings of the various sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience and identification purposes only and shall not be deemed to limit, expand, or define the contents of the respective sections or paragraphs. 8.3 Termination. City may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days written notice to Consultant. Where termination is due to the fault of Consultant and constitutes an immediate danger to health, safety, and general welfare, the period of notice shall be such shorter time as may be determined by the City. Upon receipt of the notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all Services except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all Services rendered prior to receipt of the notice of termination and for any Services authorized by the Contract Officer after such notice. City shall not be liable for any costs other than the charges or portions thereof which are specified herein. Consultant shall Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 Page 14 of 18 not be entitled to payment for unperformed Services and shall not be entitled to damages or compensation for termination of Work. Consultant may not terminate this Agreement except for cause, upon thirty (30) days written notice to City. 8.4 Default of Consultant. A. Consultant’s failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a default. B. If the City Manager, or his designee, determines that Consultant is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, he/she shall notify Consultant in writing of such default. Consultant shall have ten (10) days, or such longer period as City may designate, to cure the default by rendering satisfactory performance. In the event Consultant fails to cure its default within such period of time, City shall have the right, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement without further notice and without prejudice of any remedy to which City may be entitled at law, in equity, or under this Agreement. Consultant shall be liable for any and all reasonable costs incurred by City as a result of such default. Compliance with the provisions of this section shall not constitute a waiver of any City right to take legal action in the event that the dispute is not cured, provided that nothing herein shall limit City’s right to terminate this Agreement without cause pursuant to Section 8.3. C. If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 8.4.B, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the Services required hereunder exceeds the Maximum Contract Amount (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. The withholding or failure to withhold payments to Consultant shall not limit Consultant’s liability for completion of the Services as provided herein. 8.5 Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Party against whom enforcement of a waiver is sought. Any waiver by the Parties of any default or breach of any covenant, condition, or term contained in this Agreement, shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent or other default or breach, nor shall failure by the Parties to require exact, full, and complete compliance with any of the covenants, conditions, or terms contained in this Agreement be construed as changing the terms of this Agreement in any manner or preventing the Parties from enforcing the full provisions hereof. 8.6 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and the exercise by either Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party. 8.7 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either Party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 Page 15 of 18 compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. 8.8 Attorney Fees. In the event any dispute between the Parties with respect to this Agreement results in litigation or any non-judicial proceeding, the prevailing Party shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to recover from the non-prevailing Party all reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorney fees, expert consultant fees, court costs and all fees, costs, and expenses incurred in any appeal or in collection of any judgment entered in such proceeding. 9. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION 9.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees. No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, or any successor-in-interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Consultant or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement. 9.2 Conflict of Interest. Consultant acknowledges that no officer or employee of the City has or shall have any direct or indirect financial interest in this Agreement, nor shall Consultant enter into any agreement of any kind with any such officer or employee during the term of this Agreement and for one year thereafter. Consultant warrants that Consultant has not paid or given, and will not pay or give, any third party any money or other consideration in exchange for obtaining this Agreement. 9.3 Covenant Against Discrimination. In connection with its performance under this Agreement, Consultant shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of actual or perceived race, religion, color, sex, age, marital status, ancestry, national origin ( i.e., place of origin, immigration status, cultural or linguistic characteristics, or ethnicity), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, physical or mental disability, or medical condition (each a “prohibited basis”). Consultant shall ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during their employment, without regard to any prohibited basis. As a condition precedent to City’s lawful capacity to enter this Agreement, and in executing this Agreement, Consultant certifies that its actions and omissions hereunder shall not incorporate any discrimination arising from or related to any prohibited basis in any Consultant activity, including but not limited to the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship; and further, that Consultant is in full compliance with the provisions of Palm Springs Municipal Code Section 7.09.040, including without limitation the provision of benefits, relating to non-discrimination in city contracting. 10. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 10.1 Patent and Copyright Infringement. A. To the fullest extent permissible under law, and in lieu of any other warranty by City or Consultant against patent or copyright infringement, statutory or otherwise, it is agreed that Consultant shall defend at its expense any claim or suit against City on account of any allegation that any Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 Page 16 of 18 item furnished under this Agreement, or the normal use or sale thereof arising out of the performance of this Agreement, infringes upon any presently existing U.S. letters patent or copyright and Consultant shall pay all costs and damages finally awarded in any such suit or claim, provided that Consultant is promptly notified in writing of the suit or claim and given authority, information and assistance at Consultant’s expense for the defense of same, and provided such suit or claim arises out of, pertains to, or is related to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Consultant. However, Consultant will not indemnify City if the suit or claim results from: (1) City's alteration of a deliverable, such that City’s alteration of such deliverable created the infringement upon any presently existing U.S. letters patent or copyright; or (2) the use of a deliverable in combination with other material not provided by Consultant when it is such use in combination which infringes upon an existing U.S. letters patent or copyright. B. Consultant shall have sole control of the defense of any such claim or suit and all negotiations for settlement thereof, Consultant shall not be obligated to indemnify City under any settlement made without Consultant’s consent or in the event City fails to cooperate in the defense of any suit or claim, provided, however, that such defense shall be at Consultant’s expense. If the use or sale of such item is enjoined as a result of the suit or claim, Consultant, at no expense to City, shall obtain for City the right to use and sell the item, or shall substitute an equivalent item acceptable to City and extend this patent and copyright indemnity thereto. 10.2 Notices.

As a result, a major portion of the slope protection collapsed into the basin and the slope failed undermining a significant portion of the spillway crest. The work also included hydrology analysis of approximately 519 acres of drainage watershed, development of a unit hydrograph tributary to Mid-Valley Channel, flood routing through the existing drainage channels and Section 29 Retention Basin, hydraulic analysis for design and reconstruction of the rock slope protection, spillway, forensic analysis to investigate the cause of the failure, produce contract documents guiding the repair of the Section 29 Basin and an 18-inch basin inlet. There was an existing 12-inch sewer line under the basin spillway that was also impacted and required to be relocated. There were three alternatives developed for the repair of the Section 29 Retention Basin. The recommended alternative was based on maximizing discharge through the primary basin inlet, minimizing impacts to the existing 12-inch sanitary sewer, minimizing impacts to the Mid-Valley Channel, eliminate or minimize future threat of slope failure at the spillway and primary basin inlet and the construction cost.

Sector E Pavement Rehabilitation | Project Term: 2020-21 | Contract Value: $203,595ERSC was retained to provide engineering services related to the City’s proposed Pavement Management Program, Sector E, Pavement Rehabilitation, str20001. The City proposed rehabilitation of 15 streets in Sector E, located in the southeast portion of the City in an effort to complete implementation of its comprehensive 5-Year Pavement Management Program (PMP). The project is funded with SB – 1, local Measure I, and RAC grant funds. The scope of work also included design for features and/or replacements not yet identified nor quantified to protect the pavement investment from drainage damage and assure ADA compliance. Additionally, formal striping/marking plans were required for the single arterial street, Greenspot Road. A flood channel crossing of Webster Street is located in SBCFCD right-of-way, and therefore also entailed coordination/permitting from that agency. ERSC conducted site visits to assess condition/location of the drainage related issues and of ADA compliance issues concerning damaged or missing ramps. We contracted with a subconsultant geotechnical firm for a visual inspection of all streets and additional subsurface investigation for the single arterial, Greenspot Road.

The project is generally located in a residential area and crosses an existing golf course. The project is also contiguous to City sewer project C3 as well as a portion of the Structural Sewer Rehabilitation Project. This was important to note because turned out to be beneficial to include both items of work in the same project/contract. The C-2 project generally took place in easements, and only has impacts on a small segment of La Paz Drive as well as Arrowhead Drive. ERSC was able to coordinate with the City during design and make adjustments to the alignment and profile to avoid adjacent properties and an existing drainage course. Sewer Capacity Improvement Project C-3: Project scope includes upgrade of 6,550 of 18-inch pipe upgraded from 12-inch pipe. The project is generally located in residential areas and crosses a park in an easement. The City of Victorville has identified the potential to construct a new sewer main in the San Bernardino County Flood Control District’s (SBFCD) access road, next to the Oro Grande Wash from Hughes Road to Seneca Road. This relocation eliminates a series of existing lines that traverse several properties, which requires the abandonment of any existing easements. This requires coordination with several residences, and the new alignment will require coordination with SBFCD and their approval. Following contact with SBFCD, ERSC coordinated with the City and made several adjustments to the design. ERSC was directed by SBFCD to reach out to CDFW, RWQCB, and ACOE on portions of the project in the County R/W. ERSC submitted a biological assessment and jurisdictional delineation report to CDFW at their request. ERSC will proceed accordingly as the project progresses, while keeping the in consideration the City’s best interest. ERSC was contracted to provide professional engineering services for the design and construction of a dedicated 15-inch diameter Trunk Sewer. Said system, considered Phase 1 of a larger Trunk system effort, runs along Sycamore Avenue (between the 210 Freeway and Baseline Rd) and then along Baseline Road (between Sycamore Ave and Acacia Ave) totaling about 6,500± LF. The Trunk Sewer will parallel an existing 8-inch collector sewer system and serve to accept high flows from the Sycamore Ave Sewer Lift Station (currently undergoing separate upgrades), along with the potential for select/ strategic connections to intercept flows from said collector system.

The following table summarizes the ERSC team and their assignments related to projects that may be assigned as a result of this submittal. Resumes for key staff are available in the Appendix of this document for review of detailed biographies and experience summaries. 14 Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 Section C: Project Understanding & Scope of Work 15 Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 <Section Title>Section C: Project Understanding & Scope of Work Section C Project Understanding ERSC understands that the City of Palm Springs intends to retain a list of professional Civil Engineering firms to provide On-Call support to the City on a variety of capital projects. These projects may include street improvements, parking lot design, grading, drainage, utility coordination, preliminary planning, and cost estimating for existing and future projects. ERSC has been providing these services to the City through an On-Call Contract since 2019, so it understands the City’s uniqueness in addition to characteristics that many Southern California cities encounter. ERSC’s proposal will summarize certain items unique to the City and tasks typical of the types of projects that may be carried out during the term of a contract. Features Unique to Palm Springs Being a local firm, ERSC is invested in the local community and understands features unique and important to the City of Palm Springs, its residents, and its stakeholders. Based on ERSC’s experience, below are the outside influences that have the highest potential to impact any project in the City of Palm Springs: Transportation Corridors The City is positioned in the center of one of the region’s largest east-west transportation corridors. The Caltrans-controlled I-10 and SR-111 both traverse the City. Each of these transportation corridors poses its own set of challenges to capital projects within the City. While the highways themselves pose challenges, their associated rights-of-way (ROW), access ramps, and bridges include additional challenges to a project. When working within the requirements of a permitting agency, early coordination is imperative in completing a project in a timely fashion. The Caltrans process and approach to projects includes steps that can impact scope, schedule, and budget. We assembled our team based on experience navigating these challenges and additional requirements of Caltrans. ERSC is currently participating in multiple projects requiring Caltrans coordination, including the Murrieta Creek Bridge at Overland Drive in Temecula. Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) Trust lands are dispersed throughout the City of Palm Springs in a checkerboard fashion and are subject to certain requirements different than non-tribal lands. Certain requirements for the projects on tribal lands impact the dedication of easements, rights-of-way, and environmental clearance. Many projects near or bordering tribal lands may be subject to additional requirements. Environmental clearance required for projects that affect tribal lands may be subject to completion of the NEPA process. Depending on potential impacts, NEPA may require varying degrees of analysis through the environmental clearance process. This also includes coordination with additional agencies, including the Bureau of Indian Affairs and ACBCI Planning Departments. In addition, the Tribe maintains a certain level of control over the work on nontribal lands. For projects where earthmoving activities are anticipated, the clearance from the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer or the Tribal Archeologist prior to issuing a grading permit and, in some cases, this clearance requires the presence of a Tribal Monitor. Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) The Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) is administered by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments and was developed to aid in the protection of endangered species and their habitat while allowing for continued development activity. Along with other Cities in the Coachella Valley, the City of Palm Springs must consider the requirements of the CVMSHCP when evaluating proposed projects. ERSC’s recent and past experiences in the City have seen the greatest impacts of the CVMSHCP in the southern and northern parts. In the City’s southern portions, significant amounts of critical habitat are set aside for Casey’s June beetle along the Palm Canyon Wash and vacant parcels of land along the south side of E. Palm Canyon Drive generally east of Linden Way. The presence of Casey’s June beetle will have impacts on projects such as studying and trapping, as well as the development of additional habitat in consultation with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. In the northern portions of the City, primarily north of the Whitewater River, there are certain washes and watercourses that cannot be altered in an effort to protect Fringed Toed lizard habitat. The protections limit a project that may alter the washes and watercourses to perpetuate blow sand and the formation of the sand dunes that are habitat for the species. Section 14 Specific Plan Section 14 of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation is approximately 640 acres in size and is located in the City of Palm Springs. It is bounded by Ramon Road, Indian Canyon Drive, Alejo Road, and Sunrise Way and provides development guidelines for portions of the eastern downtown area. In general, the intent of this plan is the celebration of the tribal heritage of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. All or portions of Specific Plan Chapters 5, 6, and 7 contain information related to street classifications and typical sections, parking standards, and site design requirements that may impact the potential CIP projects within the specific plan boundary. This will require consideration for projects in the specific plan area. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) FEMA governs the National Flood Insurance Program, the associated Flood Insurance Studies, and the development and modification of Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). Significant portions of the city are subject to flooding designated as unnumbered “A” zones, numbered “A” zones, zones of shallow flooding, and areas subject to flooding during 500-year events. In the hillside area at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains, there are areas within unnumbered “A” zones. In these areas, it is important to develop defensible base flood elevations. For applicable projects in these areas, we will employ methods outlined in a 16 Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 <Section Title>Section C: Project Understanding & Scope of Work FEMA publication titled Managing Floodplain Development in Approximate Zone A Areas, A Guide for Obtaining Base (100-Year) Flood Elevations to make the base flood determination. Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFCWCD) The Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District oversees the design and development of storm drain master plans and regional flood control facilities in areas of the Coachella Valley, including the Cities of Desert Hot Springs, Cathedral City, Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, and the portions of the County surrounding these Cities. Currently, ERSC is a design consultant for the RCFCWCD and recently completed designs for projects in the City of Banning and Moreno Valley, as well as Palm Springs. Tourism Palm Springs has long been a world-renowned destination for entertainment and tourism. Known for its year-round warm climate, the City boasts numerous attractions that harness the region’s 360 days of sunshine each year. Numerous hotels, restaurants, golf courses, and similar amenities attract people from around the world. The City and region are also home to events such as the Palm Springs International Film Festival, Modernism Week, and the Coachella and Stagecoach Music Festivals. Water and Wastewater The City of Palm Springs is largely served by Desert Water Agency (DWA), with portions served by Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) and Mission Springs Water District (MSWD). Sewer collection and treatment in the City is contracted to Veolia Water North America. ERSC has worked with each of these organizations in different capacities and understands their relationship to the City. Methodology ERSC has compiled and summarized general scope of work items applicable to all projects and scope of work items by project type for each discipline outlined in the RFP. While these tasks are included in many projects, they are intended to be general in nature. Each project has its own unique features that will dictate a specific scope. Tasks typically associated with all project disciplines: The following are sample tasks universally applicable to most project disciplines identified in the RFP. Some specific projects may require additional tasks to adequately complete a project. Task 1 – Project Management1.1 - Project Kick-Off and Monthly Status Meetings ERSC will work with the City to schedule a project kickoff meeting (pre-design meeting) and planned monthly status meetings. 1.2 - Monthly Progress Reports On a monthly basis, ERSC will issue invoices and progress reports to the City detailing major work items during the billing period and remaining contact amounts for each task. This report will include all necessary backup and establish internal accounting methods and procedures acceptable to the City for documenting and monitoring contract costs. 1.3 - Project Work Plan ERSC will develop a detailed Work Plan for the project, which will house a detailed work program and project schedule. The Work Plan will include details of methodology, sequence of tasks, lists of deliverables, milestone submittal schedule, and a summary of organization responsibilities and contacts, reporting, and invoicing procedures. 1.4 – QA/QC ERSC’s team will review documents against our QA/QC program prior to any submittal. This review will be applied to each submittal and any supporting documents or studies. Task 2 - Environmental Clearance – CEQA/NEPA (As Applicable) ERSC’s team has previously navigated the environmental clearance process in similar circumstances and has considered many proposed projects with regard to the law. ERSC’s team member, Terra Nova, will support the team in navigating the environmental clearance process. If clearance in the form of IS, ND, IS/MND or EIR (CEQA), or EA/EIS (NEPA) is required, the Terra Nova team will provide the documentation and analysis. Often, ERSC’s team finds that projects may be subject to various exemptions afforded by CEQA: CE Section 15301 – Existing Facilities; CE Section 15302 – Replacement or Reconstruction; CE Section 15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures; Public Resources Code section 21080.21- Construction of pipelines within public right-of-way less than one mile in length. 17 Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 <Section Title>Section C: Project Understanding & Scope of Work Task 2.5 – Notices and Circulation for Public Review Once the City has reviewed and approved the Administrative Draft, ERSC’s team will prepare all the necessary forms for circulating the document to the public and resource agencies. Our team will prepare the document for public review within five days of City authorization. Task 2.6 – Final Environmental Documents ERSC’s team will review any public comments received and discuss any substantive changes that should be made to the project or the IS as a result. We will make any revisions to the document as determined necessary and prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). Task 3 – Preliminary Engineering3.1 - Design Survey/Mapping Control and Topographic Survey – ERSC staff will research available record information pertaining to the projects (i.e., Tract Maps, Record of Survey, Parcel Maps, etc.). Centerline information from these maps will be used as the basis of the survey. The ERSC will perform a control and aerial target survey for each project to be flown. ERSC will utilize existing record maps to field verify and establish centerline control along the existing streets encompassing the proposed projects. The vertical datum will be based on a benchmark nearest the site. The horizontal datum will be provided in the City’s preferred format but is recommended to be based on California State Plane Coordinates NAD83 Zone 6 to allow for utilization in the City’s Geographic Information System (GIS). The survey will also tie in centerline monuments of record recovered during the field survey. ERSC will also conduct a supplemental field topographic survey to locate visible utilities within the project boundaries. To assist with surface modeling profiles and sections, the 3d spots and break lines created from the aerial imagery will also be included in the aerial base map. Centerlines, street rights-of-way, and property sidelines will be drafted on the base map. All work will be performed by or under the supervision of a Licensed Land Surveyor. Pothole Survey—ERSC’s team will survey the locations of utility pothole markers placed by the pothole contractor and provide the x, y, and z coordinates of the surveyed pothole marks. 3.2 - Utility Coordination ERSC’s team will compile record data from utility agencies. The work will also include preliminary notification letters to all Utility companies, which will be sent electronically. Additionally, ERSC’s team will determine Utility requirements for each project and document them in a memo. If required, relocation efforts will be initiated during this task. This work will ultimately include the following: • Issue Relocation Claim Letters to conflicting owners. • Coordinate and plan with the utility owners and their designers as needed to discuss project design, potential conflicts, relocation alternatives, and resolution to conflicts. • Determine liability/prior rights for all conflicting owners. • Obtain detailed scope of work from the utility owner for relocation and estimated start and completion dates. • Issue Notice to Owner to relocate utility. 3.4 - Geotechnical Investigation (As Applicable) ERSC has included Aragon Geotechnical, Inc. (AGI) as part of its team in the event the City requires geotechnical investigation for a project. Information from AGI or the City-provided consultant will be used to guide ERSC’s design. ERSC’s team will submit a proposed geotechnical exploration plan, including locations and the type of tests/borings required. Analysis may include the necessary tests to determine soil conditions and recommendations for bedding, trench shoring requirements, replacement sections, pavement recommendations, retaining wall footing design, WQMP percolation/infiltration rates, and other items as projects dictate. 3.5 – Permitting (As Applicable) Permits would be required for any impacts to endangered species that cannot be avoided (e.g., Fish and Wildlife Code Section 1600) or impacts to jurisdictional waters (Clean Water Act Sections 401 and 404). This task would be initiated at the City’s direction following initial consultation with the ACOE, RWQCB, CDFW, and possibly USFWS. Agency permit application packages would be initiated following the completion of a BRA and JD and a determination that permits are required. Although the agencies will begin the application process early on, a final review of application packages for a Section 1602 Agreement and a Clean Water Act Section 401 certification and issuance of permits will be subject to adoption of a Terra Nova document by the Lead Agency. If required, ERSC’s team would also prepare a Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) to incorporate all mitigation measures imposed for impacts to biological resources. The HMMP would also describe the funding for mitigation in perpetuity if needed. 3.4 – Right-of-Way Engineering (As Applicable) ERSC’s team will work to identify any portions of a project that may not be in an easement or City-owned property (including street right-of-way). This will include processing of easements and the associated legal descriptions and plat maps. The acquisition of right- of-way or easements is assumed to be handled by the City unless requested of ERSC, who will then reach out to several companies we have worked with on prior projects. Each legal description starts with a review of a current title report to ascertain vesting documents, ownerships, and third-party interests. All legal descriptions prepared by ERSC will include a plat clearly depicting the described parcel(s) for ready interpretation by laypeople. The City’s current standards for legal descriptions and plats will be used to maintain consistency of property records. 3.6 – Special Engineering Studies/Reports (As Applicable) ERSC regularly prepares documents to support design or as required by agencies for approval. Hydrology/Drainage calculations and 18 Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 <Section Title>Section C: Project Understanding & Scope of Work studies, WQMPs, SWPPPs, and other similar documents for preparation will be initiated during this task. 3.7 – Preliminary Plans (As Applicable) ERSC’s team will prepare preliminary plans using the information gathered in previous tasks. These preliminary plans will include rudimentary information to present the overall concept for review with the City prior to detailed design phases. Following concept approval by the City, ERSC will complete and submit with the preliminary grading, drainage, hydrology, preliminary WQMP, conceptual landscape plan, and geotechnical report. These items will all be reviewed and approved for advancement to the next phase. • Landscape and Irrigation Plans – ERSC has included Community Works Design Group (CWDG) on its team to prepare landscape and irrigation plans within roadway medians, parkways, recommended planting for hillside stabilization, etc. Planting plans will include soil preparation and plant suitability for the current application. Irrigation plans will include optimal watering for conditions with MWELO calculations. Task 4 - Final Engineering4.1 - 30% Plans 30% plans are typically a preliminary set to begin final design of a project. Utilizing the data acquired during the previous tasks, ERSC’s team will prepare preliminary plans (base sheets) for the project. With this information, ERSC will provide alignment-level detail based on the approved concepts from the previous tasks. The 30% plans will also include the locations of existing utilities and features in the immediate vicinity of the project site. The plans will include all sheets necessary for construction. Typical sheets include title, details, general notes, plan/profile, demolition, and erosion control sheets as applicable. Landscaping plans (as applicable) will be advanced based on concept approval. Irrigation plans/components, hydraulic constraints, material, and spacing. Following completion of the plans and in-house QA/QC, ERSC will make a 30% submittal to the City for review and comment. 4.2 - 60% Plans & Specifications Using the information created in 30% design and the resulting City comments, plans will be advanced to the 60% level. The work in this phase will include identification of all stationing and existing utility locations and final alignments for each project. Final layout/ alignments will consider locations of the existing City-owned facilities, existing utilities, regulatory separation requirements between potable and non-potable conveyances, proper connection to existing facilities, and the least disruption to the traveling public. The work will include an advancement of the layouts, including, but not limited to, horizontal alignments as well as vertical profiling, geometrics, striping, details, and other similar items. The 60% design phase, specifications, and bid quantities will be put together based on City preference; however, Greenbook is the recommended format. Landscape plans will be advanced to the 60% level. This will include planting requirements, notes, dimensions, and details and specifications. ERSC typically prepares specifications, quantity estimates, and associated costs for all bid items included in the plans. Specifications typically follow the latest edition of Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, or the “Greenbook,” and Caltrans but also may need to incorporate outside agencies such as Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, and water districts if affecting any of their appurtenances. Specifications are typically prepared in Word format and submitted in .pdf format. They will minimally include the Technical Specifications for each construction item noted on the plans. ERSC will request the Boilerplate specification from the City and format it for use in preparation. All construction items identified on the plans will be noted under Demolition/Removal, Construction, or Protect in Place. These items will be quantified for inclusion in the Bid Schedule of the Bidding Documents. The bidding documents will have a matrix prepared identifying the items listed on the construction documents, with estimated quantity, a unit of the quantity identified, a unit price for each item, and a total cost. An Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Cost will be prepared, which is identical to the bid schedule except that the unit price is filled out based on ERSC’s best cost estimate. ERSC keeps a book of past project bid results to use as a current indicator of unit costs for the various items. Calls may be made to local contractors or product providers to get further updated information for the estimate. WQMPs, SWPPPs, and other supporting documents will be re-submitted during this phase. Following in-house QA/QC, the 60% project documents will be submitted to the City. 4.3 - 90% Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) Upon receipt of the 60% Plan review comments, the Project team will advance the plans to the next step or 90% completion. Construction notes will be added to the items of construction on the plan. All specifications and bid quantities will be updated to the 90% completion. 4.4 - Final PS&E Upon receipt of the 90% Plan review, the Project team will advance the plans to the final step or 100% completion. The work will finalize the design, supporting documents, specification, and bid quantities. This submittal will include comments, reviews, coordination efforts, and updated information from the updated PS&E Package (100% Submittal). Task 5 – Construction Phase Services5.1 - Bid Support Our Project Manager and key personnel will work closely with City staff to respond to all bid inquiries and questions relating to the plans and specifications during the bid period. Should addenda be required, our team will assist the City with their preparation. All 19 Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 <Section Title>Section C: Project Understanding & Scope of Work written request to Contractor inquiries will be provided. Along with this support, we will also be available to attend the pre-bid meeting and the bid opening. If requested, our staff will conduct a review of the bids and supporting documentation to confirm the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. 5.2 - Construction Staking ERSC’s survey staff will pre-calculate staking items based on the approved schedule of work submitted by the contractor. This work involves verifying distances and grades, which, in essence, is a QA/QC of the plans. This quickly identifies any problems or concerns associated with construction/design plans prior to staking. We then submit requests for information/clarification as needed, in order to prevent work delays. ERSC will typically respond to written staking requests within one business day. Additionally, ERSC’s field crews always “collect” the location of all off-set stakes that they set. This enables us to re-establish the placement of the off-set stakes in the event of a dispute. ERSC will also perform peer reviews on construction projects. This entails a review of plans and completed cut-sheets or a field check to verify line and grade staking. For construction staking projects, we keep a binder and digital files with submitted staking requests in chronological order, along with notes detailing the disposition of these requests. Both client and contractor will be provided with electronic files and hard copies of cut sheets (and field notes, when necessary) on approved agency forms. For all of ERSC’s field work, and especially on construction contracts, ERSC’s field staff uses high-visibility and current safety equipment and signs to protect our staff and the public. We also conduct regular tailgate/safety meetings outlining project-specific safety awareness and concerns. ERSC can provide as-built surveys for any type of improvement. The data can be provided digitally and added to CAD improvement plans or PDF files (Bluebeam). Datums will be based on control used during construction. Sample ProjectsSite Development Site development projects generally include coordination with other architectural and/or landscape design firms for the detailed civil design of improvements such as grading, drainage, utilities, lighting, hardscape, parking, and other infrastructure needs as required. ERSC has provided site development services for: • Sports Complexes • RV Resort Parking • Fire Station Site Development • Water Agency Reservoir Sites Street Improvement Plans Street improvement plans may include complete street widening to include a new curb, gutter, sidewalk, and raised medians. Pavement rehabilitation projects generally include full depth replacement of failed areas, pavement grinding, asphalt overlay, detector loop replacement, raising utility structures, and striping. Geotechnical investigations, if required, utilizing core sampling, in-place strength testing, and laboratory testing to determine subgrade strength and recommendation for repairs shall be coordinated with the ERSC’s Geotechnical Consultant, Aragon Geotechnical, Inc. ERSC is currently providing sidewalk/ADA access improvements for the Cities of Chino, Colton, Rialto, and Palm Springs, replacing sidewalks and ramps to current standards. All street projects ERSC works on are reviewed for ADA compliance with recommendations presented to the City for their input. Pedestrian/Bicycle facilities may include new paths, path enhancements, bridges, striping, signage, and other appurtenances related to these facilities. Storm Drain and Flood Control Design-Specific Tasks ERSC’s extensive knowledge of flood control systems and experience with a variety of projects allows us to be prepared for any type of project the City proposes. ERSC has provided the following services to various agencies: • SWPPP & WQMP Reports • Hydrology & Hydraulic Reports • Master Drainage Plans • Construction documents for local and master drainage plan improvements Water and Wastewater ERSC was founded on the premise of water and wastewater engineering services. The firm’s first clients were local water agencies, and for 23 years, many of the same agencies have remained ERSC clients. Our services in the water and wastewater disciplines have included not only design but also planning, construction management, inspection, permitting, and independent plan review for clients throughout the region. ERSC staff has successfully assisted water districts and Special Districts in designing and inspecting hundreds of water and wastewater projects within the past two decades. Given our experience with water districts, ERSC thoroughly understands the standards and procedures and pertinent regulations and requirements of state and federal agencies and local utility purveyors. ERSC designs and makes recommendations for well location(s) and well designs to maximize well yield. ERSC has provided services to agencies under on-call and task-order-based contracts for municipalities, water agencies, and special 20 Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 <Section Title>Section C: Project Understanding & Scope of Work districts, including but not limited to: • Water Resources Planning Studies • Domestic, Recycled, Irrigation, and Wastewater Pipelines • Production and Treatment Facilities • Storage and Conveyance Teams Experience with State and Federally Funded Projects ERSC staff has worked on several state and federally-funded projects – many funded federally but disbursed through California Transportation Commission and Caltrans. Caltrans has the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) to help guide agencies on projects. Familiarity with the various forms and chapters is necessary to navigate the requirements. Keeping good records of all transactions and approval history of the project will make close-out of the project easier. Also, knowing the representative from Local Assistance for your agency is essential when questions on procedures come up. Federal/State Funded Programs: • Active Transportation Program (ATP) • Safe Routes to School Program (SRTS) • American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Coordination Efforts with Permitting Agencies ERSC has prior work experience with most utility companies, Caltrans, RCFC & WCD, RCA/MSHCP, CDFW, USACOE, and others. The key to success is to make contact early for their role in the project and then gather insights into processes they will need to occur to obtain necessary permits. Hiring the correct subconsultant to navigate some of the agency’s procedures is also key, as they will “speak the language” of the agency. Following the agency’s requirements may be time-consuming and laborious but will usually result in obtaining the necessary clearances. Identify Project Problems Any Project has the potential to encounter problems with varying degrees of severity. The key is identifying them early in the design process and addressing them with the City first (whether a City issue or an outside agency issue). The City may have knowledge and experience from prior circumstances and provide direction. When identifying the problem, ERSC will have potential solution(s) ready for consideration. Virtual meetings hosted on Microsoft Teams are beneficial as plans or pictures may be shared and discussed for resolution. Having as much information as possible during discussions with the City eliminates back-and-forth meetings and time consumption. ERSC Approach to Project Control ERSC’s project administration is conducted to ensure timely progress reporting and billing, accurate project record keeping, monitoring of costs, progress, deliverables, and adherence to quality standards. Internal project coordination meetings are conducted regularly through office meetings, conference calls, and email exchanges to maintain good project communication. Schedule Control During project development, ERSC ensures that the schedule adheres to all contractual requirements and is constantly updated. ERSC will work closely with the City to establish the delivery requirements. Document Control All design and correspondence materials shall be logged and filed according to a project-specific document control system. Accounting and Invoicing Procedures ERSC shall follow general City (and other agency) accounting and billing requirements. All man-hours and direct and indirect costs shall be tracked. Cost Control Project costs shall be verified monthly. Cost-to-date, estimated actual percent completed, and estimated budget to complete by the individual task at each invoicing period will be documented. Quality Assurance and Quality Control ERSC shall provide Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QC/QA) for all project documents and plans to ensure the project moves forward to delivery as quickly as possible. The project team shall review the design documents to ensure that the development of the Preliminary Engineering Studies, Environmental Documents, and Final PS&E are consistent with any funding requirements so that the approval process is expedited. 21 Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 Section D: Financial Responsibility 22 Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 <Section Title>Section D: Financial Responsibility ERSC affirms that it is a professional firm in good financial health and free of any conditions that could hinder its ability to contract for the work described in the subject RFQ. 23 Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 Section E: Attachments 24 Docusign Envelope ID: A87F6B2D-0CB4-4E37-AEF8-0E6726F8E796 Similar Project Experience: MDP Lines 6A and 8, Laterals 20C and 20A, City of Palm Springs, Palm Springs, CA – Principal-in-Charge during the design of the three major flood control projects commissioned by the City of Palm Springs.

The firm's experience is wide ranging and includes the preparation of EIR/EISs for major projects, Comprehensive and General Plans, Zoning Ordinances, and large scale mixed-use development. We have also prepared CEQA Initial Studies for dozens of jurisdictions and hundreds of projects, and NEPA EAs for the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Federal Highway Administration, the US Economic Development Administration and the US Department of Energy. Terra Nova has extensive experience in environmental assessment and planning, including land use and resource surveys, natural resource assessments and inventories, demographic profiles, housing trends and supply assessments, facilities planning and market feasibility studies. As a planning firm, Terra Nova is particularly attuned to certain environmental assessment issues, including land use feasibility and compatibility, housing impacts, natural resources protection and integration, visual, traffic and noise impact analyses, and air quality. Representative Experience Since the firm’s inception, Terra Nova has worked on a wide variety of projects in infrastructure projects, including CEQA, NEPA and permitting for Coachella Valley Water District’s (CVWD) 17-mile long Mid Valley Stormwater Channel Project, CVWD Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel Improvement Project-Thermal Reach, several Coachella Valley bridges (South Palm Canyon, Ramon Road, Vista Chino, Cathedral Canyon, Eldorado Drive), the College Park Specific Plan and EIR, the Museum Market Plaza Specific Plan/Downtown Palm Springs and EIR, and a variety of current planning projects. The firm also prepared the College of the Desert West Valley Campus Master Plan and EIR, the CV Link CEQA EIR/NEPA EA/Permitting and other projects. The following briefly describes recent infrastructure projects. City of Twentynine Palms Sewer System Implementation Initial Study The City of Twentynine Palms currently only has septic tanks or on-site treatment (pocket plant) systems for sanitary sewage, which has significantly limited expansion potential. For several years, the City has been working toward implementing a centralized sanitary sewer system, including a wastewater treatment plant and about 30 miles of backbone conveyance. Terra Nova is currently preparing a comprehensive Initial Study that will lead to a Mitigated Negative Declaration for this backbone system. Because funding for the project will come, in part, from California Water Board sources, the analysis has been completed under CEQA+, with federal cross-cutting, to assure compliance with the Board’s requirements. Cathedral Canyon Bridge over the Whitewater River CEQA/NEPA/Permitting Terra Nova was the lead on preparing CEQA and NEPA environmental documents and securing 404 permits, Streambed Alteration Agreements (SBA) and 401 certifications for the future Cathedral Canyon Drive bridge over the Whitewater River in Cathedral City. The project involved extensive channel work, including additional channel lining and modifications to the channel profile in the vicinity of the bridge. Terra Nova prepared a combined CEQA/NEPA EA for processing through Caltrans/FHWA and the Army Corps of Engineers. We have also secured a Section 1602 SAA from CDFG. Prepared PES, managed jurisdictional delineations, Native American consultations, and inter-agency coordination. Continued responsibility for annual HMMP monitoring (through 2023) CV Link Multi-Modal Transportation Facility EIR/EA Permitting CV Link is a 50± mile long multi-modal roadway that extends from Palm Springs to Coachella and recently completed construction of its first segment in Cathedral City.

Summary Statement of Qualifications/3.9.23 facilities. Terra Nova prepared a CEQA EIR and NEPA EA, and was part of the project design team in resolving numerous design and location issues. Comprehensive demographic and socio-economic analysis conducted for eight valley cities and the county has also informed Terra Nova’s modeling of regional and municipal constraints and opportunities. Terra Nova also processed Clean Water Act permits and state streambed agreements for more than 30 sites impacted by CV Link. Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel CEQA EIR and NEPA EA and Regulatory Permitting Terra Nova completed a CEQA Environmental Impact Report and NEPA Environmental Assessment for the Coachella Valley Water District on improvements to a two-mile segment of the Stormwater Channel currently nearing completion between Avenues 54 and 58 in the City of Coachella and unincorporate Riverside County. The project impacts major transportation corridors, including bridges carrying Highway 111, Avenue 56 and two lines of the Union Pacific Railroad crossing the channel. Major issues addressed in the EIR and EA included potential impacts on roads and highways, major rail lines, biological and cultural resources, air and water quality, public facilities and socio-economic resources. Terra Nova also secured CWA 404 (USACE) permits, CWA 401 certification, and CDFW 1602 streamed alteration agreement. Continued involvement regarding construction monitoring. City of La Quinta Eisenhower Retention Basin Initial Study The City of La Quinta purchased a parcel of land on Eisenhower Drive, immediately north of the La Quinta Resort, to install a regional retention basin designed to prevent flooding in this area during significant storms.
