The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein. 7.4 Waiver. Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.

Consultant will perform the following Services: A. Project start-up activities Consultant will attend a Kick-Off Meeting with representatives from the City to discuss the approach, methodologies, and format of the traffic, noise, and air quality/greenhouse gas studies. It is anticipated that approach, methodologies, and format will be finalized and approved by the City during the Kick-Off Meeting. B. Traffic Impact Analysis updates for the City of Rancho Palos Verdes General Plan Update • Coordination with City/kick-off meeting • Obtain traffic counts at study area roadway segments and intersections identified for evaluation. The analysis will include the roadway segments and intersections evaluated in the Draft General Plan Traffic Impact Analysis (July 2010). A site visit will be conducted to survey presence of sidewalks, bike-lanes, and condition of transit supporting structures. This is required under the new parameters under MAP-21 and the new General Plan Guidelines. In addition, Translutions will require information on cumulative projects from the City. • Conduct an existing conditions analysis consistent with current practice. Automobile levels of service will be calculated using either the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) or the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodologies. Since the City has limited opportunities for capacity addition, Translutions recommends using the HCM methodology which is responsive to non-capacity enhancements to improve traffic operations. However, ultimately, it will be the decision of the City which method will be used. An analysis of other modes of transportation — pedestrian,bicycle, and transit will also be included. • Compare the Current General Plan land uses with the proposed land use alternative for areas where changes are proposed. This comparison will be based on trip generation, potential changes to trip assignment and logical origin-destination pairs. Since the changes will be applicable to discrete areas, it is Translutions' professional opinion that model runs for each alternative will not be required and that the trip assignment can be based on logical manual methods. 01203.0005/297502.1 • Traffic conditions for the General Plan build out will be analyzed in the traffic analysis. The forecast traffic conditions under the Current General Plan will be developed using the SCAG model. Then, the impacts of land use changes will be evaluated by applying the traffic changes to the analysis for the current General Plan. Daily, a.m., and p.m. peak-hour trips will be generated for the changing land use areas. For purposes of this proposal, up to ten areas are considered subject to change from the existing condition to the General Plan build out. If more than ten areas change, a budget augment may be necessary. Trip generation rates will be based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation, 9th Edition. Adjustments will be made to the gross trip generation to eliminate trip generation of existing uses, reflect the internal trip capture of mixed-use projects, and address potential pass-by traffic associated with certain retail uses. Translutions will provide best efforts to link future productions to attractions so as not to overestimate trip generation within the City. If required, the forecast analysis can also be conducted using the SCAG Model. Translutions will present a General Plan build out traffic analysis of the study area to demonstrate the capacity available and the ability of the General Plan circulation system to provide acceptable operation within a long-term horizon. Levels of service will be determined for roadways and intersections based on volume to capacity ratios and ICU/HCM analysis, respectively. An analysis of other modes of transportation — pedestrian, bicycle, and transit will also be included. • Based on the results of the impact assessment, improvements will be identified to address impacts created by the General Plan build out conditions. Where improvements are required to maintain performance criteria levels of service, Translutions will select lane additions from the arterial classification and/or a subset of the maximum feasible intersections. Translutions will also review the goals, policies, and objectives, as well as capital improvement priorities (i.e., implementation program), to identify whether these policy level measures can act to offset General Plan implementation, and to identify funding and possible scheduling of the General Plan roadway system. • A technical study will be prepared that discusses the existing and General Plan build out conditions. Identification of the ultimate General Plan roadway system, including standard cross-sections and intersection lane requirements (both at a schematic level of detail) will be provided. The report will be submitted to the Client and the City. 01203.0005/297502.1 Upon completion of the review, Translutions' staff will meet with City representatives to discuss the traffic analysis and to receive comments. Translutions will then modify the draft report to address the comments and submit the final traffic analysis for incorporation into the overall environmental document. • Translutions will assist the project team in formulating draft Circulation Element Goals and Policies, standards, and implementation programs. Translutions will also review the Circulation Element prepared by the Client and provide recommendations. C. Noise Impact Analysis updates for the City of Rancho Palos Verdes General Plan Update • Coordination with City/kick-off meeting • Noise analysis prepared in accordance with CEQA guidelines, Appendix G. • Document the existing noise environment within the city planning area through site measurements and computer modeling. • Prepare a summary of the pertinent noise significance thresholds in accordance with applicable City, state and federal regulations. • Prepare a qualitative analysis of construction noise impacts, a qualitative assessment of land use compatibility(based on proposed zoning changes), as warranted, and a quantitative evaluation of operational noise impacts from mobile noise sources (roadway traffic). • Develop mitigation measures, where applicable. D. Air Quality Impact Analysis updates for the City of Rancho Palos Verdes General Plan Update • Coordination with City/kick-off meeting • Review the General Plan goals, policies, and objectives related to air quality resources and greenhouse gas emissions • Review other related resources, including the Circulation Element and Land Use Element, and the South Bay Cities Council of Governments 2010 Community Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Report. 01203.0005/297502.1 • Conduct a program-level assessment to determine the potential impacts to air quality from implementing projects with the understanding that subsequent environmental review may occur as future project-specific development proposals are initiated under the Plans. • Analyze current regulatory setting; existing air quality conditions; City goals policies and objectives related to air quality resources; significance thresholds; a qualitative construction emissions analysis; quantitative operational emissions analysis; qualitative (comparative) localized CO hotspots analysis; qualitative analysis of toxic air contaminants (TACs) and odors; cumulative impact analysis; consistency with regional air quality plans; and provide mitigation measures if necessary. • Conduct a program-level assessment to determine the potential impacts related to greenhouse gas emissions from implementing projects with the understanding that subsequent environmental review may occur as future project-specific development proposals are initiated under the Plans. • Describe relevant GHG policies and regulations and estimate the existing baseline GHG emissions from the existing land uses. • Work with the City to determine the appropriate GHG thresholds. • Perform a quantitative analysis of construction and operation of the General Plan area, including emissions from energy usage, waste generation, and mobile sources. • Provide discussion of those project features or mitigation measures that will reduce GHG emissions, such as energy efficiency measures or water conservation measures. • Assess the project's consistency with applicable GHG reduction plans and policies and relevant Regional and State goals. • Provide mitigation measures, if needed, to address any significant GHG impacts identified. II. As part of the Services, Consultant will prepare and deliver the following tangible work products to the City, more fully described in the approved Scope of Work: A.
