SUBJECT: RFP REQUESTING EIR CONSULTANT FOR THE JOHNSON AVENUE
HOUSING PROJECT (ER 56 -08).
RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve the scope of work for Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and authorize staff to
proceed with the issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP) to qualified environmental
consulting firms.
B. Authorize the City Manager to award the contract to a qualified environmental consulting
firm for the EIR, contingent upon the developer depositing with the City the amount of
the contract plus a 30% administrative fee.
DISCUSSION
The San Luis Coastal Unified School District has submitted project plans to develop 88
residential units in seven separate buildings on a 4.36 -acre site adjacent to San Luis High School
on Johnson Avenue and the old junior high school off of Lizzie Street (Attachment 1). Rincon
Consultants was hired by the City to prepare an initial study of environmental impact which
evaluates certain issue areas in detail where technical studies have been prepared and mitigation
measures could be developed. For some issue areas that are more complex, the initial study
provides a scope of work for the ultimate evaluation of items in the Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) prepared for the project. City staff from various City departments reviewed the
initial study and provided comments and edits which the consultant incorporated into the final
version of the initial study. The initial study is currently posted on the Community Development
Department's website.
Based on a determination by the Community Development Director that significant impacts
would occur with the project in the issue areas of aesthetics, noise and traffic, an EIR must be
prepared. An RFP has been developed that reflects the scope of work required to address areas
of significance. Staff is requesting Council's authorization to proceed with the RFP process.
Following authorization, the RFP would be distributed to qualified environmental consultants.
Background
The Johnson Avenue Housing Project was submitted to the City on May 1, 2008. Since initially
submitted, plans have been substantially modified to respond to staff comments and
neighborhood input. Changes to plans address drainage concerns and provide for the protection
of grasslands and other sensitive natural features. The latest version of project plans submitted
C3 -1
Council Agenda Report — .,uhnson Avenue Housing Project EIR k- P (ER 56 -08)
Page 2
and reviewed by City staff in September 2011 addressed prior comments and was the version
evaluated by Rincon Consultants in the initial study.
The initial study provides a scope of work for the EIR, which is incorporated as Section A of the
RFP excerpts attached to this report (Attachment 2). The scope of work was developed from the
initial study prepared by Rincon Consultants and outlines the required work tasks to fully
evaluate the project's areas of significance.
The initial study, and standard City RFP attachments outlining general terms and conditions,
insurance requirements, and forms for the consultant to prepare, will be mailed out to
consultants, but are not attached to this report. This additional information is available for
review in the Council Reading File.
Schedule for EIR Preparation
With City Council authorization to issue the RFP and scope of work, RFPs would be sent out to
qualified consultants (Attachment 3) on February 13t1'. Consultant proposals will be due to the City
on March 14th. The RFP schedule anticipates interviews on March 27th and a consultant contract
awarded on April 8, 2012. The RFP specifies that the Administrative Draft EIR would be delivered
to the City by July 16, 2012. A Draft EIR would be released on September 20, 2012.
CONCURRENCES
Other City departments were actively involved and consulted in the preparation of the project's
initial study of environmental impact from which the EIR scope of work was derived.
FISCAL IMPACT
Once a qualified consultant is selected and a contract negotiated, the project applicant will pay
all of the costs for the consultant services to prepare the EIR, plus a 30% administrative fee. The
Community Development Department will administer the consultant contract in coordination
with the Finance Department. This is the approved procedure for EIRs. Therefore, the project
will have no direct fiscal impact.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve the scope of work, but direct staff to prepare the EIR.
If a consultant were not retained to prepare the EIR, it would be the responsibility of the
City to do so. City staff does not typically prepare EIRs. Additional staff would need to
be hired to prepare and manage the EIR. These costs would likely exceed the cost for a
consultant to prepare the EIR.
2, Continue consideration of the scope of work and RFP with direction to staff on necessary
changes.

Project Description
The proposed project would develop an 88 -unit high density residential complex on a 4.36 -acre hillside
property. A total of seven buildings would be constructed with a maximum height of 35 feet. The 88
total units would consist of 14 one - bedroom units and 74 two- bedroom units.
The housing complex would cover approximately 49,040 square feet of the project site, which is
equivalent to 25.8 percent of the site area. There would be approximately 11,020 square feet of private
open space provided and approximately 40,240 square feet of common open space. A recreational
amenity room would also be included, totaling approximately 2,260 square feet. In addition,
approximately one acre of natural open space area would be preserved on -site.
Parking would be provided on -site in subterranean garages, with 174 residential stalls and 18 guest stalls.
Ten stalls would also be provided for motorcycle parking. Bicycle parking would consist of 15 public
racks, 88 in -unit storage areas, and 83 bicycle storage spaces near the parking area. Private storage units
would also be located in parking garages, providing a total of 18,600 square feet of storage space. There
would be two pedestrian sidewalks that connect the housing complex to Johnson Avenue. The proposed
project also includes a multi -use path with connections at Fixlini Street and San Luis Drive. The multi-
use path would travel along the northeast boundary of the project site, around the open space, and curve
west toward San Luis Drive.
Site Description
The property is surrounded by residential and public facility uses on all sides. San Luis Obispo High
School and San Luis Adult School border the property to the north and east. Multi - family and single -
family residences border the project site to the south and west, with an additional, isolated single - family
residence located on a private parcel between two portions of the project site. The project site surrounds
this parcel, which fronts San Luis Drive. The housing complex would be constructed to the south and
southeast of this parcel, while open space will be preserved to the north and northeast. Johnson Avenue
and San Luis Drive run along the project site to the southwest, while vehicle access is obtained via Fixlini
Street to the southeast. A mixture of multi- family and single family residences is also located across
Johnson Avenue to the southwest. In addition, there is a small island between the Johnson Avenue and
San Luis Drive roadway fork with multifamily residences and an office building that is currently
occupied by State Farm Insurance.
The project site currently consists of an undeveloped hillside, sloping upward from Johnson Avenue and
San Luis Drive. Elevations on site range from 250 and 330 feet above mean sea level, and slopes are
generally from east to west. Vegetation onsite is a mixture of grassland and ornamentals, such as
eucalyptus trees and pines. Drainage from the San Luis Adult School is diverted around the site to
existing storm drains. On -site drainage flows westerly across the sidewalk to the curb and gutter along
Johnson and San Luis Drive.
Scope of Work
An Initial Study of Environmental Impact (attached) was completed for this project, which concluded that
there may be significant environmental impacts associated with development and that an environmental
impact report (EIR) is required. The applicant is not disputing the need for preparation of an EIR. The
C3 -7
ATTACHMENT 2
workscope more specifically identifies issues and tasks that need to be performed to evaluate potential
impacts of the project.
EIR Workscope Items
The selected consultant shall incorporate the Initial Study of Environmental Impact that was completed
for this project into the EIR. The following list of workscope issues was extracted from that initial study.
The numbers used below that identify issue areas are consistent with the system from the initial study.
For those issue areas included in the initial study, which concluded that there were no impacts, or that
impacts could be mitigated with identified mitigation measures, no workscope items appear.
#1 AEsTHFTres
A. To evaluate the potential visual impacts of the project, the consultant shall prepare photo
simulations of conceptual project elevations from various key viewing locations.
Recommendations shall be developed to reduce identified visual impacts. General design
guidelines shall be identified to assist the potential developer in terms of design features and
elements of the project to assure visual compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood.
#l2 NDISE:
A. The proposed project would be a noise sensitive use, and the impact of ambient noise levels on
sensitive receptors shall be evaluated in the EIR. Sound level measurements shall be taken on the
project site and the level of significance shall be determined using the City's noise level
thresholds. In addition, the proposed project would generate traffic that would contribute to noise
levels in the project area that exceed City thresholds. The EIR shall quantify the increase in
vehicle noise levels resulting from project- generated traffic at sensitive receptors along Johnson
Avenue /San Luis Drive and Fixlini Street and determine the level of significance based on the
City's noise level thresholds. The EIR shall identify any mitigation necessary to reduce
significant noise impacts to less than significant levels.
B. The EIR shall quantify the level of construction noise based on anticipated construction
equipment. The level of construction noise generated by the proposed project shall be compared
to the City's existing noise level thresholds to determine the level of significance. The EIR shall
identify any mitigation necessary to reduce significant noise impacts to less than significant
levels,
A traffic study will need to be prepared by a licensed Traffic Engineer and incorporated into the EIR.
Project trip generation characteristics and distributions are to be submitted to the City for review and
comment /approval prior to proceeding with the traffic analysis. The EIR will highlight the project setting
related to traffic issues, summarize the impact analysis, and outline appropriate mitigation measures. The
traffic study would eventually become a technical appendix to the EIR.
The following paragraphs note tasks for the consultant to evaluate in the traffic study:
A. The traffic analysis shall comply with the City's 2000 Traffic Impact Study Guidelines and shall
include both the AM and PM peak periods because of the project's proximity to the City's only
public high school. The analysis shall include but is not limited to:
• Intersection analysis of Fixhm/Lizzie, Lizzie /Johnson, San Luis Drive /Johnson,
Pismo /Johnson, Marsh/Johnson, Ella/Johnson, Fixiini /Johnson, and San Luis Drive /California.
dA
C3 -8
ATTACHMENT 2
• Gap analysis of traffic on Johnson Ave
• Cut - through traffic analysis on Fixlini.
B. City staff has also observed the following traffic issues which could be worsened with this project
and therefore should be analyzed:
• Vehicles stacking on NB Johnson (Bishop Street to Marsh Street) during the AM peak and
when the high school lets out in the afternoon.
• Vehicles stacking in left turn lane of SB Johnson at Lizzie during the AM and PM peak.
• Vehicles using Fixlini Street (Johnson Ave to Adult School) to bypass traffic and signals on
Johnson Avenue during AM peak.
• Vehicles stacking on WB Lizzie at Johnson Avenue in the AM and PM peak.
C. Traffic analysis shall also evaluate project design including line of sight, parking design
(including tandem and autolift features), on -site circulation, potential for vehicle conflicts, and
impacts during construction. Applicant shall provide traffic engineer with estimated construction
truck traffic (including trucks exporting dirt) and their anticipated route to and from site.
D. The EIR shall analyze the results from the traffic study to determine if traffic generated by the
proposed project would exceed thresholds set forth in the City's General Plan Circulation
Element. The EIR shall also determine if traffic generated by the proposed project would have
cumulative impacts on area roadways. The EIR shall identify mitigation necessary to reduce any
traffic impacts to less than significant levels.
Additional EIR Workscone items
In addition to the above - mentioned significant environmental impacts associated with the proposed
development, the EIR should discuss any other significant environmental impacts that are discovered by
the consultant while preparing a proposal, public input from the scoping meeting, or comments made by
other agencies after circulation of the Notice of Preparation. If the EIR analysis concludes that there are
Class I, significant and unavoidable impacts, then mitigation measures shall be proposed to offset impacts
to the degree feasible and language provided to assist the City with making appropriate findings of
overriding consideration to be considered with the review of the Final EIR.
In order to be sure the EIR is a comprehensive list of all the potential significant items, a discussion of
standard CEQA items that were not considered significant should be included. A description of each of
these items, including justification of why they were deemed less than significant, including proposed
mitigation measures, should be provided.
Alternatives
Alternatives need to clearly indicate how they would address identified project impacts and
should at minimum evaluate the following:
1. The "no" project alternative;
2. A project of a more limited size and scope; and
3. Other comparable sites where the project might be developed.
Mitigation Monitoring Program
The consultant shall prepare the Mitigation Monitoring Program consistent with CEQA Section 21081.6.

Proposal Evaluation and Consultant Selection. Review of the project by City decision - makers
is dependent on completion of the Draft EIR. Therefore, timely completion and circulation of the
Draft EIR is essential to expeditious processing of the project consistent with CEQA and will be
considered in evaluating consultant proposals. Proposals will be evaluated by a review
committee using a two -phase selection and contract award process as follows:
Phase 1— Written Proposal Review /Finalist Candidate Selection
A group of finalist candidates (generally the top 3 to S five proposers) will be selected for follow -
up interviews and presentations based on the following criteria as evidenced in their written
proposals:
a. Understanding of the work required by the City.
b. Quality, clarity and responsiveness of the proposal.
C. Demonstrated competence and professional qualifications necessary for successfully
performing the work required by the City.
d. Recent experience in successfully performing similar services.
e. Proposed approach in completing the work.
f. References.
g. Background and experience of the specific individuals to be assigned to this project.
Phase 2 — Oral Presentations/Interviews and Consultant Selection
Finalist candidates will make an oral presentation to the review committee and answer questions
about their proposal. The purpose of this second phase is two -fold: to clarify and resolve any
outstanding questions or issues about the proposal; and to evaluate the proposer's ability to
clearly and concisely present information orally. As part of this second phase of the selection
process, finalist candidates will submit proposed compensation costs for the work, including a
proposed payment schedule tied to accomplishing key project milestones or tasks. After
evaluating the proposals and discussing them further with the finalists or the tentatively selected
contractor, the City reserves the right to further negotiate the proposed workscope and/or method
and amount of compensation.
Contract award will be based on a combination of factors that represent the best overall value for
completing the workscope as determined by the City, including: the written proposal criteria
described above; results of background and reference checks; results from the interviews and
presentations phase; and proposed compensation.

11. Accuracy of Specifications. The specifications for this project are believed by the City to be
accurate and to contain no affirmative misrepresentation or any concealment of fact. Bidders are
cautioned to undertake an independent analysis of any test results in the specifications, as City
does not guaranty the accuracy of its interpretation of test results contained in the specifications
package. In preparing its proposal, the bidder and all subcontractors named in its proposal shall
bear sole responsibility for proposal preparation errors resulting from any misstatements or
omissions in the plans and specifications that could easily have been ascertained by examining
either the project site or accurate test data in the City's possession. Although the effect of
ambiguities or defects in the plans and specifications will be as determined by law, any patent
ambiguity or defect shall give rise to a duty of bidder to inquire prior to proposal submittal.
Failure to so inquire shall cause any such ambiguity or defect to be construed against the bidder.
An ambiguity or defect shall be considered patent if it is of such a nature that the bidder,
assuming reasonable skill, ability and diligence on its part, knew or should have known of the
existence of the ambiguity or defect. Furthermore, failure of the bidder or subcontractors to
notify City in writing of specification or plan defects or ambiguities prior to proposal submittal
shall waive any right to assert said defects or ambiguities subsequent to submittal of the proposal.
To the extent that these specifications constitute performance specifications, the City shall not be
liable for costs incurred by the successful bidder to achieve the project's objective or standard
beyond the amounts provided there for in the proposal.

ATTACHMENT 2
In the event that, after awarding the contract, any dispute arises as a result of any actual or alleged
ambiguity or defect in the plans and/or specifications, or any other matter whatsoever, Contractor
shall immediately notify the City in writing, and the Contractor and all subcontractors shall
continue to perform, irrespective of whether or not the ambiguity or defect is major, material,
minor or trivial, and irrespective of whether or not a change order, time extension, or additional
compensation has been granted by City. Failure to provide the hereinbefore described written
notice within one (1) working day of contractor's becoming aware of the facts giving rise to the
dispute shall constitute a waiver of the right to assert the causative role of the defect or ambiguity
in the plans or specifications concerning the dispute.
