Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute the attached agreement with
IBI Group for planning and environmental services in an amount not to exceed $500,000 to
prepare the General Plan Circulation Element update, subject to non-substantive changes
approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
Assembly Bill 1358, the 2008 California Complete Streets Act, requires that cities prepare a
comprehensive update to their General Plan Circulation Element to incorporate the concepts of
"Complete Street" design if it is determined that a substantial change has been, or will be, made
to the Element. A Complete Street is one that supports the development of a balanced,
multimodal transportation network that serves all users, whether they are driving, walking,
bicycling or taking transit. The State legislature enacted this law to help fulfill the commitment to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions through efficient use of urban land and transportation
infrastructure. The need to update Santa Ana's Circulation Element in order to incorporate the
Fixed Guideway project and its California Environmental Quality Act analysis requires that the
City perform a comprehensive update to the Circulation Element, thereby triggering the Complete
Streets requirement.
A Request for Proposal was distributed to thirteen planning consulting firms in mid June 2011. In
response to the Request for Proposals, staff received proposals from four qualified planning
firms. After reviewing the proposals, Planning, Public Works and Parks, Recreation and
Community Services staff conducted interviews with three consulting teams: RBF Consulting,
Iteris inc., and IBI Group. At the conclusion of the interviews, together with an analysis of the
proposals submitted, the staff team determined that the consulting team led by the IBI Group was
the one most qualified to assist in the preparation of the General Plan Circulation Element
update. The IBI Group's team of subconsultants includes Alta Planning, The Planning Center/
DC&E, and Cornerstone Communications.

Based on the need to comply with State law to update of the General Plan Circulation Element
with complete streets policies in conjunction with the fixed guideway approvals, as well as the
consultants' qualifications and experience in preparing General Plan and transportation strategies
in mature urban settings, it is recommended that the IBI Group be awarded the contract for this
project. The total contract amount for the preparation of the Circulation Element and
environmental documentation will not exceed $500,000, which includes a $25,000 contingency.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $500,000 are available in the Traffic Congestion Relief HUT 2013 fund

SCOPE OF SERVICES
(Attached)
25A-10
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND
MEETINGS
Objective: To provide overall project management, coordination, and supervision
of project staff and to facilitate the performance of the work in accordance with the
scope and requirements of the City of Santa Ana.
Key Issues: Completion of the Circulation Element update within a 16 month
timeframe will require diligent and focused project management to organize the
technical work, agency coordination, and community outreach efforts. We will work
hand in hand with City of Santa Ana to achieve the project objectives within the
desired timeframe.
Approach: Our management approach for the project is centered on regular
contact between the IBI project manager and the city's project manager to discuss
and review the project process, deliverables, and major meetings. The primary
elements of the management task are discussed in the subtasks below.
TASK 1.1 GENERAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT
IBI Group is the prime consultant for this assignment and will be responsible for the
day-to-day management of the project, as well as review and oversight of all
deliverables.
Within two weeks of receiving Notice to Proceed, we will schedule a Project Kick-Off
Meeting with city staff. This meeting will provide a forum for introducing the entire
project team and agency contacts, reviewing project assignments, establishing lines of
communication and procedures/protocol, reviewing project scope and approach,
presenting and discussing project issues, reviewing schedule and discussing critical
path items.
We propose to then conduct monthly project management meetings with the
consultant team and Santa Ana through the duration of the project.
TASK 1.2 PROJECT SCHEDULE AND TRACKING
The foundation of a well-run project is the schedule. IBI will oversee the project
schedule on two levels: (1) management level and (2) control level. IBI will work with
25A-11
Santa Ana to develop a schedule in Microsoft Project that will serve as the primary
management reporting vehicle for project progress, and the coordination between the
technical work efforts, the environmental review, and the community outreach efforts.
After the baseline schedule is established, the schedule will be updated on a monthly
basis to assess progress.
TASK 1.3 PROJECT PROGRESS REPORTING
Reporting of cost and progress information must be timely, accurate, and easy to
understand. IBI will prepare and submit status reports on a monthly basis. The report
format will be customized for Santa Ana based upon Input at the kick-off meeting.
Typical monthly reports will consist of the following:
• Tasks accomplished during the work period
• Status of major milestones
• Percent of budget expended by task
• IBI, subconsultant, and Santa Ana action items
• Analysis of the critical path
• Current schedule of completion dates
TASK 1.4 MEETINGS WITH CITY STAFF, HEARINGS, AND
COMMUNITY MEETINGS
Stakeholder coordination and coordination with the advisory and policy bodies for the
City of Santa Ana will be an integral part of the project, along with community
acceptance of the project proposals. 1131 Group has budgeted for attendance at the
following meetings:
• Kick-off meeting and monthly progress meetings (%)
• Complete Streets coalition and community workshops (5)
• Planning Commission study sessions and hearings (4)
• City Council study sessions and hearings (3)
• ETAC study sessions, additional Board/Committee/Commission meetings (4)
• Meetings with OCTA and Caltrans (4)
131 will be responsible for incorporating these meetings into the overall project
schedule, timely distribution of agendas, and the preparation and distribution of
meeting notes and action items from each meeting.
2
25A-12
TASK 2: DATA COLLECTION
Key Issues: Coordination with other projects, plans and traffic studies will require
information from a wide range of sources. It will also be crucial to communicate with
OCTA staff to verify OCTAM inputs and ensure timely delivery of forecast model
data.
Approach: The following information will be gathered as part of the data collection
task:
• Roadway segment and intersection counts
• Pedestrian and bicycle volumes
• Roadway segment and intersection lane configuration
• Intersection traffic control and signal phasing
• Transit, Land use and demographic data
• OCTAM data and forecasts
• Related project information
IBI Group will create an inventory of the existing configuration of up to 20 study
roadway segments and 30 study intersections through a combination of field reviews,
existing documents and internet research. Items of note include numbers and
average widths of vehicular travel lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks, parkways, medians
and center turn lanes. Existing transit data will include bus routes, bus stop locations,
headways, and Metrolink and Amtrak schedules. Once local schools are back in
session, new study count data (vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian volumes) will be
collected during a non-holiday week in fair weather.
A data request memo will be prepared to identify information that may be obtained
from the City of Santa Ana, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and
other sources such as signal timing sheets, land use and demographic data, OCTAM
data and forecasts. Information will also be requested on the following projects:
• Santa Ana Signal Master Plan
• Quiet zone locations
• The Fixed Guideway Project
• Grade separation projects (Santa Ana Boulevard, Grand Avenue, 97th Street
3
25A-13
and Lincoln Avenue)
Widening projects (Bristol Street, Grand Avenue)
Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan
TASK 3: PUBLIC OUTREACH
Objective: To create and implement a comprehensive Public Outreach Program that
involves the community in the process of developing a Complete Streets vision for Santa
Ana through the application of creative strategies and ideas.
Key Issues: The public involvement process is a critical component of the overall
process to develop the Circulation Element and ensure that the goals and policies
reflect the interests and desires of the community. The diversity of Santa Ana's
population makes an effective and creative public outreach program both critical and
challenging for this project. The IBI team will employ a variety of strategies, building
on the National Complete Streets Coalition Workshop and the project website as a
starting point for the outreach effort.
Approach: The Public Outreach Program will begin with the establishment of the
outreach baseline, including key contacts, a database of interested stakeholders and
community members, and the development of an action plan for the outreach
process. Coordination with the ongoing Fixed Guideway and Harbor Boulevard
outreach efforts will be essential. Both projects provide the opportunity for the
Circulation Element to build on complete street and multi-modal transportation
concepts that will be communicated to the public through these forums. The project
team's direct involvement in the Harbor Boulevard outreach process will be
invaluable and provide us with a head start on the Circulation Element outreach
effort.
The primary elements of the menu of options for the Public Outreach Program will
include the following:
Community Workshops - Community workshops (up to 4) would held at
strategic Intervals during the project schedule to solicit input from the
community early in the project process and then receive more detailed
feedback as the development of the Circulation Element, the Complete
Streets vision, and the goals and policies are more advanced.
4
25A-14
• A two-day National Complete Streets Coalition Workshop - This will be a
highly interactive workshop involving the full consultant project team
collaborating with key stakeholders and community members. This workshop
will provide hands-on exercises to allow participants to better understand and
appreciate the importance of this project to the City of Santa Ana, and to
balance the needs of all users and develop and implement effective policies.
• Project Website and Social Media - The IBI team will help create a dynamic
website and additional social media tools (i.e. blog, Twitter, Facebook) to
share information and allow residents an opportunity to engage in the public
planning process.
• Strategic Communications - The public outreach team will provide strategic
communications assistance to the planning team (both consultant and city)
for duration of project.
• Collateral Materials - The IBl team will be responsible for providing collateral
materials for the workshops, project fact sheets, and meeting notices in
English, Spanish and Vietnamese as needed, as well as translators for
community workshops.
Our approach to the outreach process will be to engage the greatest number of city
residents as possible. This will require creativity in the workshops. Concepts we would
like to discuss further with the city include conducting a workshop as a "field walk"
within a particular roadway corridor in the city. This workshop would allow participants
to rate elements of the streetscape and street cross section and identify the types of
improvements that they would like to see.
We recognize the need to move beyond the typical evening public outreach meeting
within a school or community center, detached from the project location and the
reality of the project setting. Our interactive process seeks to achieve this objective
and engage the community to provide feedback on the right solutions for Santa Ana.
TASK 4: EVALUATION OF MASTER PLAN OF
STREETS AND HIGHWAYS
Objective: To update the Santa Ana Master Plan of Streets and Highways (MPSH)
to reflect current goals and policies, and ensure that the plan is consistent with
related documents and other elements of the General Plan.
5
25A-15
Key Issues: Incorporation of Complete Streets concepts and revisions to exhibits
to reflect the Fixed Guideway project, the Santa Ana Signal Master Plan, quiet zones
and other pertinent projects.
Approach: IBI Group will review the current Santa Ana Master Plan of Streets and
Highways (MPSH), and compare it to the OCTA Master Plan of Arterial Highways
(MPAH) and the California Road System (CRS) for consistency. Recommendations
for refinements to the MPSH will be based on coordination with these documents,
current and approved roadway, intersection and transit projects, updated goals and
policies that reflect Complete Streets legislation, and the results of the traffic analysis
prepared as part of this task.
The Circulation Element Technical Report will include an analysis of up to 20 roadway
segments and 30 intersections within the City of Santa Ana and will be conducted using
methodologies consistent with City of Santa Ana General Guidelines, and CEQA
Guidelines. Analysis scenarios will include the existing condition, a baseline buildout
(2035) condition and up to three buildout alternatives. OCTAM will be used to forecast
link traffic volumes for the buildout scenarios. The link volumes will be post-processed
into intersection turning movement volumes using an Excel-based tool developed in
house that utilizes the methodology presented in the TRB NCHRP Report 255. IBI has
worked extensively with OCTAM on local projects including the OCTA Long Range
Transportation Plan (2010 LRTP), the Central County Major Investment Study (MIS) and
the South County MIS.
The evaluation of the MPSH will identify possible reclassification or modification of
streets, and potential refinements to the transportation system to support the buildout
condition. This will include the integration of complete streets elements such as
enhanced pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
TASK 5: BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER
PLAN
Objective: To develop Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans that address the needs of
walkers and cyclists of all ages, abilities, skills, and confidence levels, while providing a
menu of innovative and economically feasible projects and recommendations matched
to specific funding opportunities.
6
25A-16
Key Issues: The development of bicycle and pedestrian plans cannot be distilled into
a "one size fits all" approach, but rather, the process is based upon our understanding of
the City of Santa Ana's needs, and our experience with successfully completing other
bicycle/pedestrian master plans concurrent with Circulation Element Updates.
Approach: Becoming a truly pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly community requires a
multi-faceted approach, including strategies beyond traditional engineering and
infrastructure projects. We strongly believe that Santa Ana could greatly benefit from
a well-balanced non-motorized improvement plan, and will provide strategies to
address education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation.
The development of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans will begin with a field
review of the City to tour existing routes by bicycle and foot with stakeholders, including
City Staff, advocacy groups, or the community. Field investigations will be documented
using field notes, taking field measurements, and using digital photography. This will
help evaluate the setting and land use patterns in Santa Ana, identify system
opportunities and constraints, and record site-specific information such as level of use,
facility condition, and key gaps or obstacles. The IBI team will prepare GIS basemaps
depicting Santa Ana's existing bikeway and walkway systems.
The adequacy of existing facilities will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
• Safety
• Connectivity
• Completeness of network
• Accessibility
• Convenience
• Ability to serve the needs of different types users
The IBI team will develop specific projections on existing and future daily bicycle and
pedestrian trips for use in air quality and SAFETEA-t-U funding applications, based on
Alta's Bicycle and Pedestrian Demand Model methodology, which has been accepted
throughout the country and is being used by FHWA. The IBI team will also evaluate
bicycle and pedestrian safety in two ways: (9) reviewing representative existing bicycle
education programs being offered in Santa Ana and surrounding areas, and
comparing these with other programs throughout the state and country, and (2)
reviewing available bicycle/pedestrian crash data.
The recommended system will be based on a comprehensive review and analysis of
7
25A-17
available infrastructure data provided by City staff (e.g., traffic speeds, curb-to-curb
widths, etc.), and will take into account issues such as grades, directness of route,
barriers, and system connectivity. This network will include a variety of bikeways,
sidewalk improvement projects, and other bicycle/pedestrian capital improvement
projects (e.g., traffic calming, bicycle parking, etc.). The network will also incorporate
previously proposed and planned facilities.
The consultant team will develop a "Best Practices - 4 EV report identifying potential
changes to improve bicycle and pedestrian education, encouragement, enforcement,
evaluation, and public outreach efforts. These recommendations will be based both
on results of the previous tasks that identified problem areas plus experience gained
in other communities.
Recommendations and priority projects will be compiled into an Implementation Plan
based on the evaluation outcome combined with (a) funding availability and
requirements, (b) other programmed transportation improvements, (c) eliminating an
immediate bottleneck or safety hazard, and (d) ensuring that the system grows
rationally rather than as a series of disconnected pieces over time. The IBI team will
identify potential matching and major funding sources for these projects, and their
associated criteria and requirements. Costs of the phased improvements will be
compared with funding needs, so that long term programming for local matching funds
can be accomplished.
The Santa Ana Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan will include the review of existing
plans and legislation, existing conditions inventory and assessment, user needs
assessment, recommended walkway and bikeway network, project development and
prioritization, cost opinions, and implementation plan.
TASK 6: TRANSIT AND RAIL SERVICES
Objective: To incorporate planned rail and transit improvements, including the
f=ixed Guideway, bus rapid transit, railroad quiet zones, and grade separation
projects into the Circulation Element and appropriately account for the benefits and
impacts of these projects on the mobility of residents within the city.
Key Issues: There are several related transit project planning and design efforts
underway within Santa Ana that together would dramatically increase travel choices and
8
25A-18
mobility for residents beyond that offered by existing transit services. Our team has a
keen understanding of these projects and their potential impacts and benefits on mobility
within the city. We will apply this understanding in the analysis and work with the city to
identify additional projects, policies, and goals that can be identified and incorporated
into the Circulation Element to further promote transit services.
Approach: A well-defined and well-developed transit system is an essential part of
providing any community with access to the greatest range of transportation modes
and choices. Within Santa Ana, the provision of transit services is even more
important given the transit-dependency of a substantial portion of the city's residents
and the pressures that the city faces from regional traffic generated in neighboring
cities that is either destined for Santa Ana or passes through Santa Ana due to its
central location within the county.
The development of goals and policies related to transit services will build on the
work that the city has already undertaken or completed as part of the Santa Ana
Transit Vision project, the Fixed Guideway project, and the SARTC Master Plan.
The objective of the planning process and policy development effort will be the
definition of an integrated and coordinated menu of transit services within the city that
will serve the city's residents and provide a viable transportation resource for travel
throughout the city and to and from adjacent jurisdictions.
TASK 7: DEVELOP GOALS AND POLICIES
Objective: To communicate and document the policies and goals of the General
Plan Circulation Element.
Key Issues: With the previous update of the circulation element occurring more
than 10 years ago, the policies and goals should receive a substantial amount of
attention to ensure that they appropriately reflect the city's current goals, and
incorporate the requirements and guidelines placed on the city by regional and state
mandates, including Measure M2, the Complete Streets Act, and Senate Bill 375.
Approach: The IBI team understands the importance of this task and its role as a
point of emphasis in both the technical work and community outreach work.
Our approach to the development of the Circulation Element goals and policies will
9
25A-19
be based on the following inputs and guiding principles:
Reflect the Input and Values of the Community: The input and feedback
received through the community outreach effort must be reflected in the
policies identified for the Circulation Element. We see a benefit in "testing"
specific draft policies and goals with the community through the outreach
process, both in workshops/community meetings and through the project
website. This process will allow the community to provide direct feedback on
the policies, playing an active role in the development of the policies.
Provide the City with a Roadmap for Creating a Safe and Efficient Multi-
Modal Transportation Network.
Address and Satisfy the Requirements of Regional and State Mandates and
Programs: The City of Santa Ana must comply with the requirements of the
OCTA MPAH and Measure M2 to ensure that the city remains eligible for
transportation funding. The City must also appropriately address the
requirements placed on all jurisdictions in Catifornia through the Complete
Streets Act and SIB 375, which require planning for and accommodating all
transportation modes, while reducing GHG emissions and VMT.
Complicating these efforts is the fact that State mandates have very different
goals and objectives from regional requirements dictated by OCTA through
the MPAH and Measure M2. The goals and policies must carefully balance
these sometime conflicting requirements to ensure that the City remains in
compliance with all regional and state mandates. IBI's recent work with
OCTA in preparing the 2010 Long Range Transportation Plan will be very
valuable in this effort.
• i=nsure Consistency with other General Plan Elements.
We anticipate that the goals and policies with be reviewed, refined, and vetted through a
defined process that will include review by city staff and review by the Planning
Commission, Environmental Transportation Committee and City Council through study
sessions identified in the RFP. The IBI team will lead the preparation of clear and
concise presentations for these meetings and associated review efforts to facilitate an
efficient review process and appropriate tracking of comments received, revisions made
to the goals and policies, and final presentation of the goals and policies for adoption.
10
25A-20
TASK 8: PREPARE CEQA DOCUMENTATION
Objective: To identify and prepare the environmental document in order to
environmentally clear the Circulation Element update, consistent with CEQA
requirements.
Key Issues: Under CEQA, the proposed Circulation Element update will be
eligible for processing with a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) if there are no
significant, unavoidable impacts associated with the project. If there are significant
impacts, the project will require an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
Approach: At this time, we believe the Circulation Element update will likely be
eligible for processing as an MND, but there is a possibility for one or more significant
impacts, and therefore an EIR could ultimately be required. We have proposed a
framework to make this determination early in the process and coordinate with the
City to proceed with the most appropriate, defensible documentation. For this
proposal, we have provided a detailed schedule and scope of work for both an MND
and an EIR for the City's planning purposes. The environmental approach is based
on the following considerations:
• Opportunity to provide programmatic overview of City and area-wide
circulation and impacts.
• Assure consistency between environmental documents.
• Maximize use of available documentation.
• Early public outreach to include environmental scoping.
• Early Caltrans scoping opportunity.
• Highlighting the beneficial environmental impacts of the Circulation Element
and related activities.
Although we do not anticipate significant, unavoidable impacts, it is possible that there
could be significant traffic impacts, particularly with respect to potential conflicts with an
.applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the
performance of the circulation system" could occur if right-of-ways are narrowed, etc.,
to accommodate objectives to reduce vehicle trips and optimize mass transit.
The MND or EIR will address all the technical topics included in the Appendix G
Checklist, including: geology and soils, water quality, hazards and hazardous materials.
11
25A-21
The following technical studies will also be completed:
Traffic
Air Quality/GHG
Noise
Cultural Resources
Hydrology, Water and Sewer Systems, and Utilities
The air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions analysis will evaluate potential
citywide emission reductions from implementation of policies and circulation
improvements. The analysis will be based on an estimate of future VMT provided by
the traffic analysis with and without the proposed project and compared to existing
condition. Since it is anticipated that air quality and GHG emissions will benefit by the
implementation of the City's updated Circulation Element, no significant long-term
impacts are anticipated. The noise analysis will address changes in the ambient
noise from existing conditions and at the horizon year with and without
implementation of the updated Circulation Element. Increases in traffic noise levels
will be modeled using the FHA Highway Prediction Noise Model. Because
implementation of the project would not generate trips, no significant impacts are
anticipated.
This proposal assumes that tribal consultations for the General Plan update in
accordance with SB 18 will be conducted by the City. All CEQA notices will be
forwarded to the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) and The Planning
Center will assist with the consultation on a time and materials basis if requested by
the City.
TASK 9: PREPARE UPDATED CIRCULATION
ELEMENT
Objective: To prepare an updated Circulation Element ready to be integrated into
the General Plan, with policies, goals, and objectives that reflect the requirements of
the Complete Streets Act and the ideas and projects identified in the circulation,
transit, bicycle and pedestrian planning efforts completed in this project.
Key Issues: The final Circulation Element must appropriately reflect the technical
work efforts, planning process, community outreach efforts, and policy development
12
25A-22
that will have occurred during the project program. The document must clearly
communicate the policies and goals of the city related to transportation and the
content (text and visuals) must be appealing to all readers (technical and non-
technical).
Approach: IBI Group will prepare an administrative draft Circulation Element in
accordance with the requirements of the RFP. We have accounted for up to three
review cycles along with a public review period following the finalization of the
administrative draft document. Once public comments have been received, we will
strategize with the city on how to best address these comments, incorporate the
appropriate revisions, and prepare the final version of the Circulation Element.
Deliverables:
• Administrative Draft Circulation Element with Technical Reports (10 copies, up
to three review cycles)
• Final Draft Circulation Element (10 copies, for public review)
• Final Circulation Element (10 copies)
• Administrative Draft Circulation Element Environmental Document (10 copies,
up to three review cycles)
• Final Draft Circulation Element Environmental Document (10 copies, for public
review)
• Final Circulation Element Environmental Document (10 copies)
• Electronic files of the deliverables above (PDF and editable format)

Understanding of the Project
The City of Santa Ana leased approximately 2.6 acres within Centennial Park to the Rancho Santiago Community
College District (RSCCD) for the purpose of building and operating a Career Education Center consistent with the
park deed restrictions. The original 30-year agreement expired, and because RSCCD did not fully satisfy its duties
under the agreement, the National Park Service agreed to extend the agreement for only five years. NPS has
indicated that RSCCD must either move from Centennial Park or provide replacement parkland of equal
recreational value. The City Is seeking the assistance of a consulting firm to prepare a recreational value report, a
soils analysis for the replacement park site, and an environmental assessment. The City is separately contracting
with others to perform an appraisal of the replacement property and a legal description/title search.
Scope of Services
RECREATION VALUE REPORT
In this task, The Planning Center ( DC&E will prepare a Recreation Value Report that will assess the McFadden and
Orange Site (park site), research program needs, options and opportunities for the site compared the Centennial
Park site, and prepare alternative concept plans and cost estimates to determine recreational opportunities.
Site Visit
The Planning Center DC&E will initiate the recreation analysis with a joint meeting at the proposed park site
and Centennial Park site including City and Community College District staff (City/District staff). The goal of the
site visit will be to ensure design issues and constraints are understood prior to preparing alternative concepts.
The Planning Center DC& team will be able to discuss possible program elements and approaches with
City/District staff while on-site. City staff will provide information on the development of the proposed park site,
referred to as Pacific Electric Park on the City's website, including any public participation and design
discussions.
Preliminary Consultation with National Park Service
The Planning Center J DC&E will have a preliminary conversation with the National Park Service (NPS) to discuss
the project and confirm assessment needs for their review. Should additional analysis or documentation be
needed beyond what has been scoped, The Planning Center ( DC&E will discuss these changes with City/District
Staff.
Base Map
The Planning Center DC&E will prepare a site base map for the proposed site and Centennial Park using aerial
photos and available record drawings for the sites and surrounding existing infrastructure and perform a site
investigation to determine the existing conditions including drainage patterns, the location of existing utilities,
and other site elements. The AutoCAD compatible base maps of the sites will be used for preliminary site
analysis and development of alternative concepts.
Site Analysis Memorandum
The Planning Center { DC&E will prepare a site analysis memorandurn to docurnent opportunities and
constraints at both the proposed park site and at Centennial Park. Using existing documents provided by staff,
including Infrastructure and utility data, and data gathered from the site visit as a starting point, The Planning
THE PLANNING CEMERIDC&E I PROPOSAL: RECREATIONAL ANALYSIS.,POTENTIAL NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR MCFADDENIORANGE PARK SITE 7

Center ( DC&E will identify issues relative to both sites including safety, utility points of connection, drainage
patterns and infrastructure. The merorandum will include a diagram that will Identify circulation patterns,
adjacent properties, existing vegetation, views to and from the site, and locations for potential buildings. The
memorandum will be submitted to City/District staff for review and comment.
Program Analysis
The Planning Center ) DC&E will utilize the City of Santa Ana General Plan and the Youth & Family Master Plan
Assessment Phase I as base documents to assess the recreational needs In the community. The team will gather
and review the most current population data from US Census, SCAG, the City Planning Department, and State
Finance Department to identify changing demographic trends that will impact local park and recreation
planning. Additionally, the team will research recreation patterns and trend information through resources such
as American Demographics, Institute of the Future, CPRS, NRPA, the State of California Park and Recreation
Department Needs Survey (2008), the CPRS Action Plan, Outdoor Industry Association Surveys, California Arts
Council and others to identify changing recreation patterns that are pertinent to program development for the
park site. City staff will provide survey results from the 2010 OCCCO Park Planning Committee Future Pacific
Electric Park Site Survey along with other data and information associated to date with the planning for the
Pacific Electric Park Site.
Alternative Concepts
The Planning Center DC&E will produce up to three alternative concepts for Centennial Park based on the site
analysis, program research and discussions with City/District staff. The Planning Center ( DC&E will produce up
to two alternative concepts for the proposed site based on the site analysis, program research and discussions
with City/District staff, the conceptual plan for Pacific Electric Park will be the third alternative. The alternatives
will identify which program elements determined in an earlier task can be accommodated at the park site.
Preliminarily, it is anticipated that these alternatives may include, but not be limited to:
• Paths and neighborhood connections
• Benches and seating

25A-35
Preliminary cost estimates will be developed for each concept in order to assist in evaluating the park sites.
The Planning Center I DC&E will present the alternatives and discuss the site and program analysis at a joint
meeting of City Staff to clarify direction In moving forward with the Draft Report.
Draft Report
The Planning Center I DC&E will prepare a draft Recreation Value Report, incorporating the research, site
opportunities and constraints, alterative concepts and cost estimates. The report will include a comparative
analysis of recreational needs within the Centennial Park and McFadden/Orange communities and the potential
for accommodating those needs at each site.
City Staff Review
The draft Recreational Value Report will be submitted to City/District Staff for review and comment. The City and
District will provide a consolidated list of review comments to The Planning Center I DC&E to incorporate into
the final Report. Any conflicting comments between the City's and District's consolidated comments will be
brought to both parties attention for resolution prior to creation of the Final Report.
Final Report
Based on City/District staff comments, The Planning Center I DC&E will create the final Recreation Value Report,
incorporating staff comments for the City and District to provide to NPS for review and assessment of equal
recreational value.
Optional Task: Community Meeting
There has already been public participation in the development of the proposed park site, referred to as Pacific
Electric Park, including a survey, conceptual plans and preliminary phased improvements. Depending on City
staff review comments to the Alternative Concepts and NPS review, additional public meetings may be
necessary to discuss the changes with the community. The Planning Center I DC&E can facilitate these meetings
and is available to discuss additional scope and budget should this be necessary.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
CEQA
The McFadden-Orange site Is vacant and zoned for residential use. The proposed park would trigger the need
for a General Plan Amendment and rezoning. Based on our understanding of the project and our experience
with similar projects, we believe that the project will not require a full EIR, but can be cleared through a
(Mitigated) Negative Declaration. We will prepare the various studies in an objective manner and work with City
staff and consultant team whenever project changes or mitigation measures are necessary to reduce Impacts to
a less than significant level. If any Impacts remain significant despite best efforts at finding solutions, an EIR
would be required, resulting in a change to this scope.
NEPA
We believe NPS approval will trigger the need to prepare an Environmental Assessment under the requirements
of NEPA. The EA will be based largely on the results of the MND, but will include additional NEPA sections and
will follow the checklist from the Environmental Screening Form in Appendix 1 of the National Park Service
Director's Order (DO) 12 Handbook, Handbook for Environmental Impact Analysis. (!Vote: The Planning
Centerl DC&E prepared the Centennial Park/Godlnezloint Use Project EA for the NPS).

Initial Study/MND
The Planning CenterIDC&E will prepare an Initial Study containing a description of the project and
environmental setting, identification of responsible and trustee agencies, a checklist of impacts, a review of each
topic, and appropriate mitigation measures.
Mitigated Negative Declaration
The Initial Study will be attached to the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). As required in CEQA Guidelines
Section 15071, the MND will contain a brief description of the project, the applicant's name, the location of the
project site, the proposed finding of no significant impacts, and a list of mitigation measures.
Notice of Intent to Adopt. The Planning CenterIDC&E will prepare a Notice of Intent to Adopt the MND.
Document Printing and Circulation. The firm will print copies and be responsible for distributing the MND. The
creation of a mailing list of adjacent residents and property owners Is not included in this scope, but can be
added If requested. (Such a mailing is not required by CEQA.)
Document Revisions, Following the close of the public review period, responses will be prepared and, if
appropriate, the MND may be revised. For budgeting purposes, a maximum number of hours Is assumed for
preparation of responses to comments. Additional effort would require a modification of this scope and fee.
Mitigation Monitoring Program. A Mitigation Monitoring Program will be prepared for the MND.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Aesthetics
Although precise park/recreation improvements are unknown at this time, it can be assumed that the site might
include turf, landscaping, playfields, backstops/goals, picnic tables, shade structures, restroom building,
community building and similar features. Based on the conclusions of the recreational analysis, the anticipated
improvements will be evaluated for their visual impact on nearby residences and along the adjacent roadway.
Given the McFadden/Orange site's relative small size and location adjacent to a residential neighborhood, It is
assumed that park improvement would not include lighting for nighttime use.
Traffic and Parking
An analysis will be conducted to determine the impacts of potential park improvements on traffic and parking
conditions in the vicinity of the project site. The streets providing access to the site will be inventoried with
regard to such physical characteristics as number of lanes, types of traffic control devices, sidewalk locations, and
driveway locations. Traffic conditions will then be evaluated based on existing and projected future peak hour
traffic volumes and Intersection levels of service. Traffic volume data will be collected from the City of Santa Ana,
if available. Where needed, new traffic counts will be taken at the streets and intersections in the project vicinity
to update and supplement the available data. Up to eight intersections in the project area will be studied. Staff
at the City of Santa Ana will be consulted to Identify the intersections that will be evaluated. The future baseline
traffic volumes will be forecast by considering the effects of general area-wide growth and the cumulative
volumes of traffic that would be generated by other proposed development projects in the area.
The impacts of the proposed project will be determined by estimating the levels of traffic resulting from the
activities at the park and then conducting a before-and-after analysis of traffic conditions on the streets and
intersections In the site vicinity (i.e., traffic conditions with and without the proposed project). The volume of
traffic that would be generated by the park will be based on the trip generation rates from the Institute of
Transportation Engineers' Trip Generation manual. The traffic analysis will address the project's impacts during
10 PLANNING IS THINKING AND DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE FUTURE NOW. LET'S COLLABORATE.
25A-37
the afternoon peak period on a typical weekday and on a weekend day. The analysis will also address the
anticipated parking impacts of the proposed project.
Potential measures for mitigating the adverse traffic and parking impacts (if any) will be identified in
consultation with the City of Santa Ana. The analysis methodology, assumptions, and findings will be
summarized in report sections suitable for insertion into the environmental document.
Air Quality
Potential air quality Impacts associated with construction and operation of the project will be analyzed in the
FIR. The analysis will be based on the South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) methodology for
projects in the South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB). Air pollutant emissions will be quantified using the CaIEEMod
computer model for both the construction and operational phases. Construction modeling will be based on
construction phasing, the construction schedule, and anticipated equipment for each type of construction
activity. Air pollutant emissions will be compared to SCAQMD's regional thresholds of significance to determine
the significance of project-related construction emissions due to the expansion of the stadium and
reconfiguration of the athletic field. Onsite localized project-related emissions associated with vehicle exhaust
and dust generated during the construction phase will also be evaluated against SCAQMD's screening-level
localized significance thresholds (LSTs) for projects under five acres to determine whether sensitive residential
uses along local roadways would be exposed to air pollution that exceeds the ambient air quality standards
(AAQS). Project-related emissions will also be evaluated relative to consistency with the air quality management
plan.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The FIR will quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for area sources, energy (purchased energy, energy from
water transport, use, and treatment), waste disposal, and transportation emissions sources generated by the
project. The potential effects of GHG emissions, history of GHG emissions regulation In California, and project-
related GHG emissions will be discussed. Project consistency with the CARB Scoping Plan's statewide GHG
emissions reduction strategies will also be reviewed.
Noise and Vibration
The environmental document will evaluate potential impacts resulting from the construction and operation of
the park improvements as suggested in recreational analysis. The noise analyses will be consistent with the noise
compatibility standards of the City of Santa Ana. The short-term construction analyses will focus on potential
noise and vibration impacts on sensitive land uses such as the onsite school classrooms and local residential
uses. Based on the anticipated construction schedule and equipment list, construction-related noise and
vibration levels will be calculated for the project using published data from the US Environmental Protection
Agency and Federal Transit Administration. The noise analyses will evaluate the potential for project-related
traffic and stationary sources to substantially elevate the ambient noise environment.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials/Phase I Environmental Assessment
The Phase I will be conducted in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
Standards on Environmental Site Assessments, ASTM E 1527-05 (ASTM 1527-05). The goal of an ASTM Phase I is
to evaluate site history, existing observable conditions, current site use, and current and former uses of
surrounding properties to identify the potential presence of "Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs)"
associated with the site. Recognized Environmental Conditions are defined in ASTM E 1527-05 as "the presence
or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that
indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or
petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water at the
property. The term includes hazardous substances or petroleum products even under conditions in compliance
with laws. The term is not intended to include de minimis conditions that generally do not present a material risk

25A-38
of harm to public health or the environment and that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement
action If brought to the attention of appropriate governmental agencies."
The Phase I scope of work described below has been developed to be consistent with the ASTM E 1527-5
Standard, based on our current understanding of the site. The Phase I consists of three primary tasks that include
both ASTM-required and discretionary activities: Records Review; Site Reconnaissance and Interviews; and
Report Preparation. The scope of work specific to this project is described below.
Records Review
The Planning CenterlDC&E will assemble and review readily available information on site history and usage as it
relates to the presence of hazardous substances and petroleum products that would constitute RECs on the site.
The ASTM standard lists mandatory and discretionary records for review.
We will review information from the mandatory databases within the ASTM-specified search radii. The
mandatory databases include: NPL, CERCLIS, CERCLIS NFRAP, ERNS, RCRA non-CORRACfS TSD, RCRA CORRACTS
TSD, RCRA Generators, State Hazardous Waste Sites, State Landfills and Solid Waste Disposal Sites, Registered
Underground Storage Tanks (USTs), and Leaking USTs. We intend to use an electronic database service to
provide a report summarizing information from the required records, and will rely on the database service to
conform to ASTM requirements for currency of the information. Should the database search report identify listed
sites with the potential to impact the subject site, The Planning Center]DC&E may review the federal or state files
pertaining to the listed sites, as reasonably ascertainable and practically reviewable. The budget presented
below does not include costs for review of files by more than one agency.
A 7.5-minute US Geological Survey topographic map will be used to evaluate the physical setting in the site area
and will be supplemented by discretionary review of readily available Information concerning surface
topography, surface water, soil, bedrock, and groundwater conditions on and in the vicinity of the project site.
Historical and current aerial photographs of the properties and surrounding area will be compiled through a
photograph collection search. These photographs will be reviewed by The Planning CenterJDC&E for the
following information: past land uses, development of the site and surrounding area, potential sources of
environmental contamination or evidence of spills, and other Items of environmental concern.
Site Reconnaissance and Interviews
The Planning CenterlDC&E will visit the site and view interior and exterior conditions to assess the nature and
type of activities that have been conducted at the site with respect to potential RECS. The Planning CenterlDC&E
will observe and document visible evidence of current and past usage of the property, particularly related to
potential filling, previous structures, sewage disposal systems, hazardous substances, petroleum products,
storage tanks, and evidence of spills or releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products. We understand
that you will make all areas of the site accessible to our representative(s) for the site visit. For budgeting
purposes, we have assumed that all areas of the site will be made accessible and will be seen in one site visit.
Our observations and conclusions related to the site reconnaissance may be limited by prevailing weather
conditions or other site conditions at the time of our site visit. Our report will include a discussion of factors
limiting our site reconnaissance, if applicable.
If knowledgeable persons are identified and can be interviewed, interviews will be conducted. The ASTM
Standard requires that interviews be performed with a "Key Site Manager" and with representatives of building
occupants. In accordance with ASTM, a reasonable attempt will be made to interview a representative of each
occupant If the building has five or fewer occupants. If the building contains more than five occupants, a
reasonable attempt will be made to interview those major occupants, as defined by ASTM, and those occupants
whose operations could indicate RECs in connection with the property. We request that the current owner(s) or
representative(s) be notified of our visit and asked to participate in an interview regarding site usage and history.
12 PLANNING IS THINKING AND GOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE FUTURE NOVI. LET'S COLLABORATE
25A-39
Further, as required by the ASTM standard, we ask that copies of previous environmental investigations and
audits of the property are made available, as well as other Information related to storage, use, or release of
hazardous substances or petroleum products at the site, such as environmental permits, registrations for tanks,
material safety data sheets, or waste disposal records, If applicable.
Data Evaluation and Report Preparation
The Planning CenterlDC&E will interpret the information and data assembled from work scope task Items
numbers 1 and 2 above, and will formulate conclusions regarding evidence of RECs at the site and their potential
impact on the site. We will prepare three copies of a report summarizing the results of our assessment and
discussing our conclusions regarding the potential presence and impact of RECs in connection with the site,
based on the work scope described above.
Based on Information gathered during Tasks 1 and 2, the report will answer the areas of concern related to: 1)
hazardous waste, storage, disposal, or release; 2) pipelines on the properties; 3) geology and hydrogeology
beneath the properties and regionally; and 4) air quality and hazardous air emissions from properties within one-
quarter mile radius of the subject properties. The report will summarize the findings of the investigations and
present recommendations for any additional activities, if warranted.
As required by ASTM, our final report will include a statement indicating that the work was conducted consistent
with the scope and limitations of the ASTM Standard, and discussing whether RECs were or were not identified
in connection with the property.
User-Provided Information
The ASTM Standard requires disclosure in the Phase I report as to whether the user of the report has specialized
knowledge about previous ownership or uses of the property that may be material to identifying RECs, or
whether the user has determined that the property's Title contains environmental liens or other information
related to environmental condition of the property, including engineering and institutional controls and Activity
and Use Limitations, as defined by ASTM. In addition, we are required by the ASTM Standard to inquire whether
the user of the report has prior knowledge that the price of the property has been reduced for environmental
related reasons. We request that you provide this information to us for inclusion in our report.
No subsurface explorations or chemical testing of soils or groundwater will be performed during this
assessment. Therefore, our conclusions regarding the evidence of RECs will be based on observations of existing
visible conditions, and on our interpretation of site history and site usage information. Further, our conclusions
regarding the presence of hazardous substances and petroleum products may not be applicable to areas
beneath existing structures, unless specific subsurface exploration, sampling, and/or testing information is
available and reviewed by us for such areas.
The ASTM E 1527-05 Standard includes the following list of "additional issues" that are non-scope considerations
outside of the scope of the ASTM Phase I practice: Asbestos-Containing Materials, Radon, Lead-Based Paint, Lead
in Drinking Water, Wetlands, Regulatory Compliance, Cultural and Historic Risks, Industrial Hygiene, Health and
Safety, Ecological Resources, Endangered Species, Indoor Air Quality, and High Voltage Powerlines. Assessment
of these items is not included in our proposed work scope. A limited assessment of the presence of
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is included in the ASTM work scope. Accordingly, our assessment of the
presence of PCBs Is limited to those potential sources specified in the ASTM Standard as "electrical or hydraulic
equipment known or likely to contain PCBs to the extent visually and or physically observed or identified from
the interview or records review. A 50-year chain-of-title will not be provided under this scope of work. It is,
however, recommended that the District independently obtain title records to confirm the absence or presence
of any environmental liens against the properties.

Solis Analysis
The Planning CenterlDC&E will also review the site soil for agricultural (planting) suitability and geotechnical
concerns. Samples of onsite soils will be obtained and sent to a soils testing laboratory for an analysis of pH,
texture, salinity, micro and macro nutrients. In addition, (the geotechnical consultant) will review the soils report
and NRCS data to determine general foundation and structural concerns and cost Impacts for park development.
PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION AND N01 FILING
Our cost estimate assumes one Iteration of revisions and no substantive changes to the project description.
Once the Initial Study Is approved by the City for reproduction, a Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt the MND will be
prepared using the City's standard form, if available. After City approval of the Initial Study/MND and N01, The
Planning CenterlDC&E will copy and distribute the N01 for the required 30-day public review to the public,
responsible agencies, and other special interest groups or individuals identified by the City. The Planning
CenterlDC&E will also prepare a newspaper notice for the City to publish in a newspaper of general circulation in
the area affected by the proposed project.
FINAL MND/RESPONSES TO COMMENTS
Although not required by CEQA, it Is The Planning CenterlDC&E's standard practice and recommendation to
respond to all environmental comments on the MIND. Responses will focus on comments that address the
adequacy of the MND. Comments that do not address MND adequacy will be noted as such and no further
response will be provided, unless deemed necessary by the City. If an unexpectedly large volume of comments is
received or if certain comments result in the need for substantial response or new research or analysis, the initial
budget may not be sufficient.
MITIGATION AND MONITORING PROGRAM
A Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) will be prepared (If necessary) pursuant to Section 21081.6 of the Public
Resources Code.
NOTICE OF DETERMINATION
The NOD will be prepared by The Planning CenterlDC&E. We have assumed that the City will provide the Fish
and Game fee by separate check or that the project will be exempt from this fee.

STATEMENT OF CONCERNS OR SUGGESTIONS
Because no master plan is available for Centennial Park, we plan to work closely with City staff to determine the
likely uses for that area based on community needs. If the replacement site is found of lesser recreational value,
the NPS may require additional land be located for compensation. One concern Is that such a finding would
require additional time and scope to find suitable land and conduct supplemental analysis.
