Michael Schmitt, AICP CTP, PTP, RSP1 * Frederik Venter, P.E. Project Manager/Associate QC/QA Manager/Vice President * As an Associate, Michael has signing authority to negotiate with the City and bind Kimley-Horn contractually. Specification No. 5009.2024.TDMOn-Call Travel Demand Modeling Statement of Qualifications for City of San Luis Obispo ƒ TROC86008.2024 ƒ 2 Kimley-Horn has reviewed the Sample Agreement in the RFQ and requests the following modifications. Kimley-Horn is required to provide its services to the professional standard of care. We should therefore only be responsible and liable for our breach of that standard of care, that is to say our negligence. That is all we control. We do not control the actions or reactions of third parties. As written the indemnity provisions makes us liable to both defend and indemnify for any action, or any alleged action. It also negates any proportionality of liability, potentially making us 100% responsible for the actions of someone else. Such broad indemnification terms create catastrophically unfair results for professionals with regard to the assumption of uninsurable contractual liability, and we believe this does not benefit the Authority. 23. Hold Harmless and Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law (including, but not limited to California Civil Code Sections 2782 and 2782.8), Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, and its elected officials, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents (“City Indemnitees”), from and against any and all causes of action, claims, liabilities, obligations, judgments, or damages, including reasonable legal counsels’ fees and costs of litigation (“claims”), to the extent arising out of the Consultant’s negligent performance or Consultant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or negligence in out of the operations conducted by Consultant, including the City’s passive negligence, except for such loss or damage arising from the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the City. In the event the City Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from Consultant’s performance of this Agreement, the Consultant shall provide a defense to the City Indemnitees or at the City’s option, reimburse the City Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in defense of such claims.

Statement of Instances of Project Removal or Disqualifications Kimley-Horn enters into thousands of contracts each year. An extremely small number of those contracts are concluded prior to the completion of the scope of services. Kimley-Horn has never been terminated for cause. We do not track terminations for convenience. One specific example of a recent early conclusion occurred when Kimley-Horn’s project manager accepted a position at another firm and the client determined it was in their best interest to follow the project manager to the new consulting firm. In that case, Kimley-Horn proactively worked with the client and departing employee to ease the transition and at all times held the needs of the client above all other considerations. We have found that acting professionally and protecting the needs of the client’s project leads to the best long-term outcome for all parties. e.

General Approach Our project staff were selected not only for their technical and local knowledge, but also for their availability to provide travel demand modeling services. Kimley-Horn uses a management information system (MIS) called “cast-aheads,” which helps us forecast workload over a weekly, monthly, and six-month period to avoid work overloads and/or shortfalls for each office and discipline. The following outlines some of the key measures we take to serve our clients in a responsive, schedule-oriented, and budget-sensitive manner. Project Initiation. Project manager Michael Schmitt, AICP CTP, PTP, RSP1 will serve as the City’s main point of contact and direct all tasks completed by our team. When evaluating a task order, the Kimley-Horn team will first develop a scope, fee, and schedule based on the specific needs of the task, including: • Budget • Type of work and the need for any specialty skills • Stakeholder coordination • Schedule (with critical milestones) • Deliverables • Funding constraints, requirements, and deadlines Schedule and Cost Control. Following the initial kick-off meeting for a given project/task, our team will prepare a project schedule to be shared with the City and other stakeholders, as appropriate, for consideration, further discussion, or adjustment. Our MIS allows project managers to monitor the progress of projects by item and person-hour commitments on a bi-weekly basis so that “mid-course corrections” can be made as project changes occur. MIS also produces cost status reports twice a month that helps us keep clients fully informed about the administrative aspects of projects. Project Coordination. Kimley-Horn’s quality service is centered in responding to the unique needs of each community we serve. Our wide-reaching experience with similar VMT projects demonstrates our capability to merge our technical capabilities with goals specific to each agency and its surroundings. We are also very sensitive to the pivotal role of meaningful public involvement programs that enable area residents to establish their priorities and express their opinions and concerns. Our team members will use their decades of presentation experience to address challenges associated with creative and effective communication of the City’s objectives and vision. Team Availability. The members of our project team were selected using two criteria: their experience with similar projects and their availability to perform the services required for the contract. Based upon a review of our cast-aheads, we can assure you that the staff members selected for this team are available immediately to serve you and are in an excellent position to handle work requests. In addition, Michael has the authority to mobilize Kimley-Horn’s 7,500+ firmwide resources at any given time to meet the City’s needs. Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) The QC/QA plan that Kimley-Horn and its team members will follow in the execution of services is used firmwide to maintain consistency with our clients. It includes the following six key elements: Structure: Each QC/QA plan includes a contract or project manager responsible for contract delivery, technical managers responsible for discipline design development, and a QC/QA manager responsible for verifying implementation of the QC/QA plan. Procedures: Intra-disciplinary checking of documents will be performed by a competent individual who is not the designer within each discipline. We have established a color coded comment process that involves the following steps: an initial check (performed by the checker); a review of comments to verify their adequate consideration and documented resolution (performed by the designer); a review of the completed changes in the original documents (performed by the designer); and a review that confirms accurate completion of changes to the documents (performed by the checker). Inter-Disciplinary Reviews: Inter-disciplinary reviews and coordination are performed throughout the project and prior to key submittals when senior staff from the various discipline groups meet to discuss and comment on the overall project elements. Quality Assurance Audit: The QC/QA manager will be responsible for conducting a QC audit after completion of the checking and review process and prior to the submittal of any document or deliverable. Deliverables and Document Control: The project manager will manage the submission of design documents after the QC/QA audit is complete and at milestone completion dates. Specification No. 5009.2024.TDMOn-Call Travel Demand Modeling Statement of Qualifications for City of San Luis Obispo ƒ TROC86008.2024 ƒ 19 Corrective Action Measures: Corrective action measures will be taken if incorrect or nonconforming work is discovered in deliverable items that have already completed the QC/QA process. b. Services or Data to be Provided by the City The data requests for modeling tasks generally begins with the latest available travel demand model the City maintains and includes the following: • Base Year Model (2016 or newer) • Future Year Model (2040 or newer) • List of projects to be included in the future c. Additional/Other Information Relevant Project Experience Fresno COG, Activity-Based Model Update and On-Call Modeling Support, Fresno, CA Kimley-Horn was selected as an on-call consultant for modeling support for Fresno COG. As part of this ongoing on-call, Kimley-Horn supports Fresno COG staff in updating and enhancing their regional travel demand model so that the COG can continue to meet its obligations as the regional transportation agency for the Fresno region. Kimley-Horn has been providing technical assistance related to use of the new travel model and adding enhancements to it as needed for model application. Kimley-Horn also supports Fresno COG by running the model for project applicants needing traffic volumes and other metrics from the model for the applicant’s traffic analyses. C/CAG, Travel Demand Modeling On-Call, San Mateo County, CA Kimley-Horn was selected as a qualified consultant to assist C/CAG in operating and enhancing the countywide travel demand model. Kimley- Horn has supported various roadway improvement projects in San Mateo County using the C/CAG model. Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission, Travel Demand Model Update, Santa Cruz County, CA Kimley-Horn was responsible for updating the Santa Cruz County travel demand model (TransCAD) to a 2015 base year and revising the land use and transportation network for the 2035 horizon year. The update requires extensive manipulation of AMBAG’s population/household synthesis (AMBAG maintains an ABM) to develop model inputs for the Santa Cruz County’s travel demand model. Non-employment data was developed using American Community Survey (ACS) data as well as with extensive application of GIS based overlays. Other activities included updating the transit network and its underlying data, updating the traffic count dataset, and prepararing model validation statistics. TAMC, Fort Ord Reuse Authority (FORA) Transportation Model Development and Impact Fee Study, Monterey, CA Kimley-Horn was responsible for completing travel demand model analysis in support of the Fort Ord Reuse Authority impact fee program. Using the most recently developed 2040 AMBAG (TransCAD based) model, analysis was completed to determine fair share contributions of proposed impact fee districts, evaluate performance measures of previously identified projects, and determine levels of local traffic versus traffic passing through (without a destination or origin within the Monterey County). Analysis results resulted in revisions to project list and further analysis of potential projects. County of El Dorado, Travel Demand Update/Land Use Forecast/EIR, El Dorado County, CA Kimley-Horn was responsible for completing this multifaceted transportation and land use planning project. Major activities undertook as part of this effort include the development of a new travel demand model with state-of-the-art methodologies, GIS integration, and GIS based data sets. Kimley-Horn was also responsible for developing a parcel-based land use forecast, providing transportation planning and policy insight, leading public open houses and board of supervisor’s presentations, and preparing the traffic chapter of the EIR prepared to evaluate potential updates to the existing General Plan. Specification No. 5009.2024.TDMOn-Call Travel Demand Modeling Statement of Qualifications for City of San Luis Obispo ƒ TROC86008.2024 ƒ 20 County of Santa Cruz/City of Capitola/City of Santa Cruz/City of Watsonville/City of Scott’s Valley, SB 743 Implementation Plan, Santa Cruz County, CA Kimley-Horn worked with Santa Cruz County and the cities within its boundaries to develop VMT analysis guidelines, VMT thresholds, screening maps and criteria, TDM programs, and custom sketch planning tools to estimate VMT. This collective effort includes significant cross agency coordination with a tailored end-product to each individual agency. The custom tools utilize travel demand model data to estimate VMT, GHG emissions, and the effect of TDM in terms of mitigation. This effort builds on Kimley-Horn’s previous work related to updating Santa Cruz County’s travel demand model to a base year of 2019 and a future year of 2040. Kimley-Horn also developed a custom VMT analysis tool which includes the evaluation of mitigation alternatives. TAMC/County of Monterey/City of Pacific Grove/King City/City of Greenfield/City of Gonzales/Sand City/City of Soledad, Travel Demand Model Update, Monterey County, CA Kimley-Horn is working with TAMC to develop SB 743 Programs for Monterey County and the cities of King City, Pacific Grove, Greenfield, Gonzalez, Soledad, and Sand City. These programs include VMT analysis guidelines, VMT thresholds, screening maps and criteria, TDM programs, and custom sketch planning tools to estimate VMT. This collective effort includes significant cross agency coordination with a tailored end-product to each individual agency. The custom tools utilize travel demand model data to estimate VMT, GHG emissions, and the effect of the travel demand model in terms of mitigation. Kimley-Horn also developed a custom VMT analysis tool which includes the evaluation of mitigation alternatives. Kimley-Horn previously developed VMT Programs for both the City of Monterey and the City of Marina. City of Tracy, Travel Demand Model Update/Master Plan Update and VMT/SB 743 Implementation Plan, Tracy, CA Kimley-Horn worked with the City of Tracy, as a part of their Transportation Master Plan Update, to develop VMT thresholds for specific land uses for the City. Kimley-Horn is updating the City’s travel demand model and using it to complete the VMT analysis and threshold development. The VMT analysis will use both tour- and trip-based approaches to comprehensively evaluate trips completed with and without the City. Of concern is the context of the City as a bedroom community for the Bay Area and the particularly long commute trips its citizens take each day. The City also has many manufacturing and distribution centers that will also require custom VMT analysis techniques for threshold development. County of Riverside, SB 743 Implementation Plan, Riverside County, CA Kimley-Horn worked with Riverside County to develop VMT analysis guidelines, VMT thresholds, screening maps and criteria, transportation demand management programs, and a custom sketch planning tool to estimate VMT. As part of this effort, Kimley-Horn updated Riverside County’s Traffic Impact Analysis Preparation Guide to address consistency issues and provide for an approach that better meets the County’s needs given the implementation of SB 743. The custom tool utilizes travel demand model data to estimate VMT, GHG emissions, and the effect of the travel demand model in terms of mitigation. Kimley-Horn also updated the RIVTAM model to reflect recent infrastructure improvements and developed a custom VMT analysis tool which includes the evaluation of mitigation alternatives.
