Professional Services Agreement with Daniel B. Stephens & Associates, Inc. (page A-1) B. Proposal from Daniel B. Stephens & Associates, Inc. (page B-1) BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: In an effort to identify possible solutions or strategies to mitigate the effects of the Portuguese Bend (PB) Landslide, the City Council subcommittee and members of the public have participated in a series of community -inspired workshops to collaboratively generate ideas to develop goals and possible solutions to the PB Landslide. Expert testimony and data are essential to moving on to the next step. A number of studies of the PB Landslide have been conducted thus far, but none recently. Those studies have 1 generally indicated that slope stability could potentially be achieved through some combination of surface water capture and infiltration control, groundwater extraction/dewatering, mass regrading, reinforcement of the landslide toe, and shoreline erosion control. The City wishes to develop a comprehensive program that will ultimately result in stabilizing the extensive landslide complex that exists in the Portuguese Bend area. The program that the City envisions will use information presently available to characterize, as completely as possible, the hydrology of the landslide area. Using this characterization, the City will complete a Feasibility Study ("FS") to identify the most effective means of removing water as a contributing factor to the continuing slope failure in the area. This FS will then be used as the basis to prepare federal or other grant funding applications to fund closing data gaps, if any, identified in the FS, and to fund a design -build project(s) to implement the remedies selected in the FS. At the direction of the Subcommitee and public at the land flow meetings, Staff was directed to identify a consultant that had the combination of specialized skills needed to assist the City with the PB Landslide. A proposal was requested from the firm Daniel B. Stephens & Associates, Inc. because they have the expert staff and are highly qualified, and Staff is recommending awarding this professional services agreement. ALTERNATIVES: In addition to the Staff recommendations, the following alternative actions are available for the City Council's consideration: 1. Direct Staff to solicit for proposals from other specialized firms. 2. Take no further action at this time. 2 CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT By and Between CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES and DANIEL B.

City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response. ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION 7.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California. 7.2 Disputes; Default. In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant's default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City's legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement. 01203.0006/390386.1 -12- A-13 7.3 Retention of Funds. Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant's acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant's obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. 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. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party. 7.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement. 7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant 01203.0006/390386.1 - 13 - A-14 reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days' written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non -terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2. 7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant. If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. 7.9 Attorneys' Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees. Attorney's fees shall include attorney's fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney's fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. ARTICLE 8. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION 8.1 Non -liability of City Officers and Employees.

Background A number of studies have been conducted since regional slope failure was first recognized in the vicinity of Rancho Palos Verdes primarily in the mid-1950s. Those studies have generally indicated that slope stability could potentially be achieved through some combination of surface water capture and infiltration control, groundwater extraction/dewatering, mass regrading, reinforcement of the landslide toe, and shoreline erosion control. The City wishes to develop a comprehensive program that will ultimately result in stabilizing the extensive landslide complex that exists in the Portuguese Bend area. The program that the City envisions will use information presently available to characterize, as completely as possible, the hydrology of the landslide area. Using this characterization, Consultant will complete a Feasibility Study ("FS") to identify the most effective means of removing water as a contributing factor to the continuing slope failure in the area. This FS will then be used as the basis to prepare federal or other grant funding applications to fund closing data gaps, if any, identified in the FS, and to fund a design -build project(s) to implement the remedies selected in the FS. II. Consultant will perform the following Tasks: Task 1: Compile and Review Background Documents Consultant will compile past work on this topic during development of the FS. Consultant will also evaluate and integrate, where appropriate, the results of the October 1995 Plan of Control (POC) and the March 1997 FS completed for the City. These documents evaluated and proposed shoreline and landslide stabilization coupled with dewatering and mass re -grading as remedial options. Task 2: Hydrogeologic Characterization Consultant will characterize, as thoroughly as possible based on existing data, the hydrologic system governing surface water occurrence and flow, its interaction with and infiltration to groundwater, its fate in the subsurface, contribution to artesian groundwater conditions, and its contribution to past and future slope failure. Additional data needs identified in the hydrological study prepared as part of the FS will be itemized as "data gaps" to be addresses during future efforts, such as during design/build FS remedy implementation. Task 3: Geotechnical Modeling Consultant will develop a three-dimensional model of the Portuguese Bend landslide complex, created using SVSlope software, to be included in the FS. 01203.0006/390386.1 A-22 Task 4: Feasibility Study Development Consultant will incorporate the results of the numerous existing reports and studies completed by others to develop a FS update for overall regional landslide mitigation. The FS will primarily address the active Portuguese Bend landslide complex. However, adjacent landslide areas within the City may also be addressed as needed due to the interconnectivity of the geologic, hydrological, and geotechnical factors affecting the landslide on a larger scale. The landslide mitigation will focus primarily on slope failure abatement, slope stabilization, and land resource reclamation. Related tasks such as terrestrial or marine biological resources management, roadway infrastructure repair and upgrade and potentially, coastal and marine habitat restoration, will also be addressed, as appropriate to the needs of the City. The format of the FS is anticipated to broadly follow the federal FS format developed for the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) (Superfund). That is, the document will be a CERCLA-analogue FS. The CERCLA FS approach is a systematic and thorough concept -level methodology widely accepted in the engineering industry to develop, analyze, and select cost-effective mitigation alternatives accepted by federal, state, and local regulators and community stakeholders. This format consists of the following primary elements: 1. Problem definition 2. Mitigation objectives 3. Summary and analysis of applicable laws and regulations 4. Identification of general mitigation response action (technology options) 5. Screening of available technology options 6. Detailed analysis and comparison of technology options and magnitude of cost 7. Selection and presentation of preferred technology option(s) and magnitude of cost The FS will also include a 3D model, as described in Task 3, to identify data gaps and to evaluate impacts of candidate mitigation measures. Task 5: General Consulting (As -Needed) 01203.0006/390386.1 *General Consulting work will only be completed pursuant to the Work Request Procedure, as described in Section III below. Consultant acknowledges that City has no obligation to request General Consulting work from Consultant under this Agreement. A-23 • Consultant will provide general consulting services to the City on an as -needed basis for such items as meeting preparation, attendance, and presentations, responding to City requests to address public inquiries as they arise regarding technology options, program goals, or other site -related issues per City request. • Consultant will assist the City, on an as -needed basis, with the development and submittal of a federal (or other) infrastructure funding application to obtain funds for FS implementation. Consultant will help the City understand the grant process, prepare the necessary items for submittal, and prepare and submit the grant funding application package. Consultant will also help the City with potential follow-up questions during application review and processing. • If desired by the City, a summary of the draft FS and a federal (or other) funding status update will be delivered to public stakeholders in a public meeting presentation. Consultant will prepare a PowerPoint presentation outlining the FS process and the funding process, the primary available technologies that were screened, and the details of the remedies selected to meet the defined project objectives. A draft version of the PowerPoint presentation will be submitted to the City for review, comment, and approval before the public meeting is held. • Consultant will work closely with the City to develop a design/build request -for - proposal (RFP) that can be publicly submitted to solicit contractors to implement the mitigation program outlined in the FS. • Data gap work may also be identified, scoped, costed, and implemented under this task, such as data acquisition that may need to be completed to inform the FS during its development, or additional data that may be needed to inform the design/build RFP or mitigation construction. III. Work Request Procedure The following Work Request Procedure applies to all General Consulting work: A. Each task to be performed shall be set forth in a written request ("Request") produced by the Contract Officer with a description of the work to be performed, and the time desired for completion.

(DBS&A), and its parent company, Geo -Logic Associates, Inc. (GLA), is pleased to submit our proposal to prepare a Feasibility Study (FS) update to address stabilization of the Portuguese Bend landslide complex. A number of studies have been conducted since regional slope failure was first recognized primarily in the mid-1950s. Those studies have generally indicated that slope stability could potentially be achieved through some combination of surface water capture and infiltration control, groundwater extraction/dewatering, mass regrading, reinforcement of the landslide toe, and shoreline erosion control. It is our understanding that the City wishes to develop a comprehensive program that will ultimately result in stabilizing the extensive landslide complex that exists in the Portuguese Bend area. In order to provide a forum for stakeholder involvement, the City recently convened a committee of concerned residents to chart a path towards achieving stabilization. The committee identified one of its top priorities: a complete characterization of the hydrology of the area. It is our understanding that the program that the City envisions will use information presently available to characterize, as completely as possible, the hydrology of the landslide area. Using this characterization, DBS&A will complete an FS to identify the most effective means of removing water as a contributing factor to the continuing slope failure in the area. This FS will then be used as the basis to prepare federal or other grant funding applications to fund closing data gaps, if any, identified in the FS, and to fund a design -build project(s) to implement the remedies selected in the FS. Presented herein is a proposal to use currently available data to characterize the area hydrology, to identify data gaps, if any, and to prepare an FS update. Additionally, at the City's request, we are proposing a budget to provide the City with as -needed consulting services, such as preparation of federal (or other) grant application materials and other tasks. The DBS&A/GLA team offers a wealth of expertise and experience in conducting hydrologic, geological, and engineering investigations and landslide stabilization projects. We have specifically built a team to provide the City with unique expertise in groundwater hydrology, surface water hydrology, engineering geology, and geotechnical engineering. Our team has high-level technical Daniel B. Stephens & Associates, Inc. 3150 Bristol Street, Suite 210( 7) 218-4708 Costa Mesa, California 92626 Mr. Doug Willmore June 21, 2017 Page 2 credentials and credibility and will develop practical, workable solutions to stabilize the landslide complex that will be well-received by the public and in the funding application review process. Many of our staff have advanced degrees, and professional certifications and licensure in their respective technical fields, with decades of southern California project experience directly relevant to the Portuguese Bend area. We also have an experienced Certified Grant Writer® on staff to help the City to secure grant funds for the subsequent design/build work. We are eager to begin work on this important project. Please contact our proposed Project Manager, John J. Dodge, PG at (657) 218-4708 x229 or proposed Project Principal, Stephen J. Cullen, PhD, PG (805) 681-2985 with any questions you may have.

Stephens & Associates, Inc. B-4 I INTRODUCTION Daniel B. Stephens & Associates, Inc. (DBS&A), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Geo -Logic Associates, Inc. (GLA), is pleased to have the opportunity to offer our expertise to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes (the "City") to develop an "action plan"to stabilize the Portuguese Bend Landslide (PBL) complex. We understand the City's primary need is to cease the seaward migration of the unstable landslide, stabilize and secure the mass from future movement, and refurbish the roadway infrastructure along Palos Verdes Drive South. As detailed below in the technical part of our proposal, DBS&A/GLA has the multidisciplinary professional staff, technical expertise, and institutional knowledge that will allow us to develop a systematic and cost-effective approach to such a complex task. We also have the specialized grant writing expertise and professionals that will assist the City in developing and submitting a successful infrastructure funding application package. Site Background and Program Objectives The Portuguese Bend landslide complex and adjacent slope failure areas cover nearly 2 square miles of coastal property (over 1,000 acres) within the City of Palos Verdes. The active parts of the PBL, referred to as the east, west, central, landward, and seaward components, cover approximately 250 acres (about 0.4 square miles). Developed properties and infrastructure in the area have been continually impacted by the regional slope movement. Initial reports of landsliding were first published in the 1960s shortly after mass grading and canyon infilling were completed in support of the Crenshaw Boulevard extension. However, movement likely started in 1940 with mass grading for local residential development. Numerous geologic, hydrogeologic, and geotechnical studies have been conducted in the general area of PBL and, over the past twenty years, attempts have been made to characterize and control the overall landsliding mechanism and rate of movement. A number of preliminary remedial measures have been proposed or implemented in the past. Despite some limited success, none of the remedial measures have provided a long-term solution to the ongoing problem. The City and others have largely characterized the geologic, hydrologic, hydrogeologic, and geotechnical conditions that drive regional slope Daniel B. Stephens & Associates, Inc. failure and have implemented some preliminary mitigation measures in the recent past as noted above. Full regional mitigation has been contemplated but cost prohibitive in the past. However, federal (or other) infrastructure funding is anticipated to become available to support an unprecedented effort to meet the following objectives: Long-term stabilization of the landslide complex • Repair and upgrade of roadway and related infrastructure • Mitigation of excessive coastal erosion • Development of an integrated maintenance and monitoring program; and • Compliance with applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations DBS&A/GLA will work closely with the City to utilize the results of the numerous prior geologic studies and engineering evaluations to prepare an updated mitigation feasibility study (FS) suitable to support a federal (or other) infrastructure funding grant application. In addition, DBS&A/GLA will assist the City in development and submittal of the grant application package. We understand that grant applications are currently anticipated to be due September 2017. Once funded, DBS&A/GLA will work closely with the City to develop a design/ build request for proposal (RFP) that can be publicly advertised to solicit contractors to bid on implementation of the mitigation program. Our company background, proposed project team, and professional staff expertise, experience, and qualifications are discussed in the following sections. Daniel B.

Tammy is a resource that can be counted on to complete these tasks and assist City personnel in carrying out their responsibilities to the funding agencies. Daniel B. Stephens & Associates, Inc. LK www.dbstephens.com B-13 PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK Feasibility Study Update DBS&A/GLA will incorporate the results of the numerous existing reports and studies completed by others to develop a feasibility study (FS) update for overall regional landslide mitigation. The landslide mitigation will focus primarily on slope failure abatement, slope stabilization, and land resource reclamation. Related tasks such as terrestrial or marine biological resources management, roadway infrastructure repair and upgrade, and, potentially, coastal and marine habitat restoration, will also be addressed, as appropriate to the needs of the City. The FS will primarily address the active Portuguese Bend landslide complex. However, adjacent landslide areas within the City may also be addressed as needed due to the interconnectivity of the geologic, hydrologic, hydrogeologic, and geotechnical factors affecting landsliding on a larger scale. As discussed in the June 7, 2017 public meeting, the public stakeholders identified a hydrologic study as a key component of a future mitigation remedy. DBS&A/GLA clearly recognizes the value of such a study, given that the presence of subsurface water is recognized as a contributing factor to the historical landslides and the current slope stability issues. A significant amount of effort has already been expended by previous workers studying the hydrologic system in the area. In order to address this hydrologic characterization task, we will compile past work on this topic during development of the FS. We will characterize, as thoroughly as possible based on existing data, the hydrologic system governing surface water occurrence and flow, its interaction with and infiltration to groundwater, its fate in the subsurface, contribution to artesian groundwater conditions, and importantly, its contribution to past and future slope failure. Additional data needs identified in the hydrologic study prepared as part of the FS will be itemized as "data gaps"to be addressed during future efforts, such as during design/build FS remedy implementation. DBS&A/GLA will evaluate and integrate, where appropriate, the results of the past FS that was completed in June 2000. This study was performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in support of stabilization of the toe of the Portuguese Bend landslide, but primarily as part of an overall marine habitat restoration program. An offshore breakwater was also proposed Daniel B. Stephens & Associates, Inc. a to reduce wave energy impacting the shoreline and promoting coastal erosion. DBS&A/GLA will also evaluate and integrate, where appropriate, the results of the October 1995 Plan of Control (POC) and the March 1997 FS completed for the City. These documents evaluated and proposed shoreline and landslide stabilization coupled with dewatering and mass re -grading as remedial options. The format of the FS is anticipated to broadly follow the federal FS format developed for the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) (Superfund). That is, the document will be a CERCLA-analogue FS. The CERCLA FS approach is a systematic and thorough concept -level methodology widely accepted in the engineering industry to develop, analyze, and select cost- effective mitigation alternatives accepted by federal, state, and local regulators and community stakeholders. This format consists of the following primary elements: • Problem definition • Mitigation obje�+i%lnc • Summary and analysis of applicable laws and regulations • Identification of general mitigation response actions (technology options) • Screening of available technology options • Detailed analysis and comparison of technology options and magnitude of cost • Selection and presentation of preferred technology option(s) and magnitude of cost The problem definition part of the proposed FS will include development of a three-dimensional (3D) model of the PBL complex. This will be achieved by means of SVSlope software (described at: https://www.soilvision.com/subdomains/syslope. com/index.shtml), the latest -generation 3D slope stability evaluation program. Computer-assisted design/drawing (CAD) surfaces, not cross sections, are input into this software. This allows for rapid development of a relatively large and sophisticated computer model. A sample model, recently developed by DBS&A/GLA for the 390 -acre slide at the Keller Canyon landfill is shown below. Daniel B. Stephens & Associates, Inc. B-15 12 For the FS, software input will include the following surfaces: (i) the existing ground surface; and (ii) a series of historical groundwater elevation surfaces. The initial basal failure surface will be generated by the program and will be refined based upon available borehole and geophysical data. The 3D model will be, at first, used to help identify data gaps, and to further evaluate the impact of candidate mitigation measures. Candidate mitigation measures, i.e., technology options likely to be evaluated, include: (i) surface water capture and control measures such as interceptor ditches, trenches, diaphragms and paving; and (ii) groundwater capture and control measures such as horizontal and vertical drains, and dewatering trenches; and (iii) mass grading measures, including careful planning of future improvements. Locally, measures such as revetments, buttressing, installation of shear keys and caissons, soil nailing/rock anchoring, construction of retaining walls, debris removal, riprap placement, and implementation of other similar options may be considered, after consideration of the City's objectives and stakeholder input. DBS&A/GLA recognizes that some of the remedial options discussed above have been applied in the area in the past and have been met with varying degrees of success and failure. DBS&A/ GLA will focus the FS on workable solutions that sequentially integrate various remedial options, as appropriate, and will work iteratively over time to allow one applied technology to support the success of a subsequent applied technology. General Consulting DBS&A/GLA will also provide general consulting services to the City on an as -needed basis for such items as meeting preparation, attendance, and presentations, responding to City requests to address public inquiries as they arise regarding technology options, program goals, or other site - related issues per City request. Daniel B. Stephens & Associates, Inc. DBS&A/GLA also proposes to assist the City with the development and submittal of a federal (or other) infrastructure funding application to obtain funds for FS implementation. DBS&A/GLA will help the City understand the grant process, prepare the necessary items for submittal, and prepare and submit the grant funding application package. DBS&A/GLA will also help the City with potential follow-up questions during application review and processing. Once funding is secured, DBS&A/GLA will assist the City, as needed, with development of a design/ build request -for -proposal (RFP) suitable for public release to interested engineering firms for implementation of the selected FS mitigation alternative. If desired by the City, a summary of the draft FS and a federal (or other) funding status update will be delivered to public stakeholders in a public meeting presentation. DBS&A/GLA will prepare a PowerPoint presentation outlining the FS process and the funding process, the primary available technologies that were screened, and the details of the remedies selected to meet the defined project objectives. A draft version of the PowerPoint presentation will be submitted to the City for review, comment, and approval before the public meeting is held. In addition, once funds are received, DBS&A/ GLA will work closely with the City to develop a design/build request -for -proposal (RFP) that can be publicly submitted to solicit contractors to implement the mitigation program outlined in the FS. Data gap work may also be identified, scoped, costed, and implemented under this task, such as data acquisition that may need to be completed to inform the FS during its development, or additional data that may be needed to inform the design/build RFP or mitigation construction. 13 PROPOSED COST AND ASSUMPTIONS Our estimated cost to complete the proposed scope of work is $123,200 for Task 1 and Task 2 as shown below. Task No. Description Cost 1 Feasibility Study Update $99,280 2 General Consulting $23,920 Total $123,200 The work will be completed on a time -and -materials (T&M) basis under the terms of a consulting agreement that will be prepared between the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and DBS&A/GLA. A draft FS document will be submitted to the City for review and comment before a final FS is prepared. If a public meeting is held and public comments are received, as discussed above, public comments will also be addressed and incorporated into the final FS as appropriate and as determined by the City. Comment review and incorporation into the final FS, including City, public, or regulatory agency comments may require a budget supplement depending on the number, magnitude, and format of the comments received. DBS&A/GLA understands that the City anticipates that the draft FS (before City/public review/comment) will need to be complete by early or mid-September 2017 to coincide with the funding application process. However, the schedule for the funding process and timeline is somewhat uncertain at this time and may extend further into 2017 or 2018. As described above in this proposal, the FS prepared under this scope of work and budget will be a CERCLA-analogue FS. A CERCLA-analogue FS is a conceptual -design -level document that identifies and screens available technologies available to address specific identified project goals, then selects a preferred remedy technology or technologies. The FS process assumes that a body of data of sufficient quantity and quality that addresses the relevant FS issues is present upon which to base the project. Conceptual, order -of -magnitude level costing will be provided as part of the proposed screening process. However, detailed construction -ready design documents will not prepared nor will contractor or industry vendor -specific costing, bids, or bid documents be prepared for the proposed FS. A construction -ready full design -level document outlining construction details and specific costs from multiple industry contractor bids is typically the next stage after the FS is complete. The budget for the general consulting task may need to be periodically updated based on the level of effort expended for various tasks as requested by the City, such as meetings, funding application package preparation, meeting presentations, or development of the design/build RFP. All general consulting work tasks, and any variations in the proposed FS scope of work or cost, will be completed only after receipt of advance written City approval (including email approval) of the scope of work and budget.

These efforts result in significant cost savings for the University and help to maintain positive public relations with the surrounding community consistent with the University's sustainability policy. Recycled water is used to irrigate the campus. DBS&A conducts monthly monitoring of surface and groundwater quality, water levels, soil moisture content, and sub -drain flow to ensure that water use on the facility is not impacting historic flow regimes or water quality conditions. DBS&A also uses a water balance model to track irrigation, evapotranspiration, surface runoff, soil storage, deep percolation, and groundwater recharge resulting from irrigation practices. Groundwater monitoring and reporting is conducted in conjunction with Water Recycling Requirements (WRR) and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) surface discharge permitting. Annual reports are submitted to the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, and local community groups. Addressing regulatory, operational, and risk management imperatives within technical and economic constraints, DBS&A helps Pepperdine University to maintain its commitment to its environmental, health, safety, and sustainability goals. Daniel B. Stephens & Associates, Inc. www.d�te0epS.com Water Balance Development, Hydrogeologic Characterization, and Selenium Flux Assessment, Upper Newport Bay Watershed Orange County, California Client Orange County Department of Public Works Highlights ♦ Detected concentrations of selenium and nitrate ♦ Evaluated of water sources and sinks ♦ Conducted hydrogeologic characterization ♦ Prepared recharge and infiltration estimates ♦ Mapped groundwater flux and flow DBS&A was contracted by the Orange County Department of Public Works to develop a water balance for central Orange County in an area known as the former"Swamp of the Frogs, "The former swamp or marsh area was a depositional environment receiving regional stream flow and surface water runoff for centuries until rapid urbanization starting around 1925 led to significant Former "Swamp of the Frogs" hydrologic and hydrogeologic changes.The marsh area was largely drained when surrounding land was developed for agricultural use. Later, with increased area development, the entire marsh area was fully drained and surface water flow was largely captured by a network of interconnected surface water and flood control channels extending across central Orange County. Water quality testing of the channel stream flow revealed high concentrations of selenium and nitrate. Nitrate was recognized to be largely residual contamination left behind from the area's citrus industry. Nitrate is transporting through the vadose zone and discharging into gaining surface channels. A likely source of selenium is upgradient marine geologic formations naturally high in selenium content. The selenium originated in the surrounding hills, was eroded and transported, then deposited onto the low -oxygen floor of the marsh where it accumulated over time in a stable oxidation state. Once the marsh was drained, however, the sediment was re -oxygenated and selenium was again mobilized. Selenium was recognized to be likely transporting with groundwater from the historical marsh sediments into the regional surface water channels. The channels flow into Newport Bay—a sensitive ecological resource. DBS&A assisted the County in an evaluation of water sources and sinks in the vicinity of high selenium detections within the channel network. DBS&A conducted a hydrogeologic characterization, estimated recharge and infiltration, mapped groundwater flux and flow, assessed selenium flux, and a developed water balance. The County's goal was to better understand and ultimately control selenium flux so it can be reduced or eliminated to meet U.S. EPA's Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements. Daniel B. Stephens & Associates, Inc. www.d�tep�i�s.com Big Canyon Watershed Hydrogeologic Characterization and Water Balance Development Big Canyon Watershed, Southern California Client City of Newport Beach, California Highlights • Completed hydrogeologic characterization • Constructed detailed water balance • Collected continuous flow rate data • Sampled and analyzed soil, groundwater, and surface water fort Center iion Island 4V DBS&A assisted the City of Newport Beach with a hydrogeologic characterization of the upper Big Canyon Watershed. Big Canyon was deeply incised by stream erosion into Quaternary aged marine terrace formations near the northern terminus of the San Joaquin Hills. Erosion exposed Tertiary aged marine deposits in the area including the marine Monterey formation. The Monterey formation has been recognized as the naturally occurring source of selenium metal released to the aquatic environment in several California watersheds, including Big Canyon. The Big Canyon area was largely undeveloped until the 1970s when a water supply reservoir and adjacent tracts of houses were constructed. The City completed a hydrogeologic characterization and water balance to further understand the relationship between selenium detected in the area, the underlying Monterey siltstone, shallow groundwater, and residential irrigation. Over -irrigation activities from residential areas likely contributed to groundwater mounding in the shallow aquifer and subsequent selenium flux from the underlying Monterey formation. A detailed water balance was constructed with a focus on the upper watershed in the vicinity of the reservoir and adjacent neighborhoods to characterize the potential impact of suspected over -irrigation and reservoir design discharge on shallow groundwater mounding and selenium flux in the watershed. mny \D Daniel B. Stephens & Associates, Inc. �X F A set of seven piezometers were installed to supplement the existing piezometer network near the reservoir. Staff gauge was also installed to compare surface water elevation to groundwater elevation in nearby streams. Continuous flow rate data were collected from storm water lines in the area to assess surface water discharge related to irrigation rate and frequency. Soil, groundwater, and surface water sampling and analysis were also conducted to evaluate selenium impacts. Greater understanding of the sources, occurrence, and mechanisms of selenium flux will enable the City to ultimately control or eliminate selenium impacts in the watershed. www.d�tep�i1ns.com Geo -Logic ASSOCIATES Client County of Santa Cruz Department of Public Works Contact Mr. Steve Wiesner / 831.454.2160 Timeframe 2011 Project Cost $780,000 Personnel Reid Fisher, PG, CEG, Ph.D. John Feltman, PG, CEG Soma Goresky, PE, GE Bret Treece Project Experience Nelson Road Landslide Repair Emergency Geotechnical Services for Landslide In March 2011, a landslide originating east of the Nelson Road right -of- Services Provided: way buried the roadway.

The landslide deposit is within the Capistrano formation, widely regarded as southern California's most unstable geologic formation. The groundwater is approximately 150 ft above the landslide deposit basal shear plane. The site is in an area of high seismicity, with design Moment Magnitude of 7.2 and site bedrock Peak Horizontal Ground Acceleration (PHGA) of 0.47 g. Environmental concerns such as limits of an endangered species habitat preclude re -alignment of the road and/or construction of a stability buttress at the toe of landslide deposit.

Hydrologic Analysis, Kern River Environmental Impact Report, City of Bakersfield, California Principal hydrogeologist and technical reviewer responsible for oversight of the quantitative evaluation of groundwater impacts that will result from planned increased Kern River flows through the City of Bakersfield. The 118 -year historical record of upstream and stream -reach Kern River flow was used as the basis for the initial design and development of a water resource database and to conduct water balance modeling in order to project stream channel losses due to evapotranspiration and infiltration, and to evaluate how far downstream flows of various planned magnitudes will reach. Subsequently, a comprehensive groundwater database was designed and developed incorporating historical groundwater elevation and water quality data from hundreds of wells. Data was acquired from the City and numerous adjacent water purveyors. Using the constructed databases, a telescoped, customized version of the U.S. Geological Survey Central Valley numerical groundwater flow model was used to quantify long-term aquifer overdraft, impacts of river losses to groundwater levels, gradients, flow to municipal well fields, and the impacts of alternative groundwater pumping scenarios. A plan is currently being developed to augment the database with data from additional wells, piezometers, and recharge facilities. The database will be used for ongoing monitoring of aquifer conditions, efficacy of recharge, and the impacts of groundwater extraction. B-33 Stephen J. Cullen, Ph.D., P.G.

Matasovic■ Page 1 B-38 Geo -Logic A S S 0 C I A T E S KEY PROJECT EXPERIENCE (continued) SDG&E Transmission Towers Access Road Stability Demonstration. San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) owns and maintains transmission towers within the Sycamore Landfill and Hanson's Gravel Pit mining operation in San Diego, California. In order to allow for a lateral expansion of the landfill, several transmission towers had to be relocated. Relocation of these towers called for design and construction of an access road, and permitting with multiple agencies. Given the site constraints, section of the access road was graded at 1H: 1V (Horizontal: Vertical) and the slope was approximately 190 feet high. Dr. Matasovic served as Project Manager and was responsible for permitting. Project challenges included development of three-dimensional (3D) slope model for stability evaluations and back -analysis of nearly vertical slope to evaluate model input (shear strength) parameters. Ocean Trails Country Club Landslide - Forensic Investigation and Landslide Remediation. Prior to a new golf course opening on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, a landslide that was incorporated into the 18th fairway and green moved approximately 50 ft ocean -ward destroying the 18th hole. This caused water lines, drain lines and a sewer line to be severed. County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County retained Geosyntec (Dr. Matasovic's former employer) to evaluate causes of landsliding and options for relocating their sewer line so that it would not be damaged by future landsliding within this property. Dr. Matasovic was responsible for stability evaluations, including development of representative landslide geometry and material parameters. Work included review and interpretation of logs of hundreds of past exploratory boreholes to construct structure contour maps of the subsurface geology and to construct geologic cross sections through the site. The cross sections were used to prepare geotechnical stability sections for use in stability analyses at various stations along the sewer alignment. Results of the stability analyses provided information about the risk of potential future damage to the existing sewer due to instability and for options relocating the sewer to avoid future instability issues. La Pata Avenue Road Distress, San Juan Capistrano, California. Geotechnical Engineer of Record for investigation of a cause of the La Pata Avenue road distress. The distress was caused by re -activation of an ancient landslide which was initiated by grading for a residential development at the toe of the slope. Work included distress monitoring (observation and surveying), installation of a slope inclinometer, processing and interpretation of inclinometer data, back -analysis of NEVEN MATASOVIC, Ph.D., P.E., G.E. PRINCIPAL observed conditions, and forward analysis in support of development of landslide mitigation measures. Sunshine Canyon Road, Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall, Sylmar, California. Dr. Matasovic was the design engineer for a Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining wall system. This MSE retaining wall system was designed and constructed adjacent to Sunshine Canyon Landfill within the City of Los Angeles (City) right of way and was subject to approval and inspection by the City Department of Public Works. This was one of the first such walls approved by the City of Los Angeles. The design was based upon stability evaluations with MSEW. The CQA services included in-situ nuclear density testing of reinforced backfill soil, monitoring of installation of precast concrete elements and reinforcing materials, and monitoring of construction of back of wall gutter and drain system. Dr. Matasovic reviewed and sealed the CQA report for this project. Sunshine Canyon Development - Static and Seismic Slope Stability Evaluations. Dr. Matasovic served as Engineer of record responsible for static and seismic slope stability evaluations carried out in support of various stages of the site development for the Sunshine Canyon development project in Los Angeles County.

Seismic evaluations included pseudostatic slope stability analyses, one- and two-dimensional seismic site response analyses, and Newmark -type seismic deformation analyses. Fairview Park Geotechnical Investigation and Slope Stability Analysis, Costa Mesa, California. The 211 -acre Fairview Park extends along the southwest edge of the City of Costa Mesa, California, just east of the Santa Ana River and County of Orange Talbert Nature Preserve (Talbert Nature Preserve). The project was multidisciplinary. Relevant project requirements called for extension of the existing wetland (extends along the sections of the Santa Ana River) into the Talbert Nature Preserve to establish significant native habitats, including California native grasslands, coastal bluff scrub, open sandy coastal scrub, and riparian wetlands. However, as this extension would, in turn, submerge the toe of the west -facing slope of an existing bluff, known as the "Overlook Slope," concerns about slope stability were voiced out. The Overlook Slope is approximately 2,000 ft (0.38 miles) long and up to 70 ft high while slope face inclination ranges from 1.OH: 1.OV (Horizontal: Vertical) to 2.OH: 1.OV. Dr. Matasovic was Matasovic■ Paget B-39 Geo -Logic A S S d C 1 A T E S Geotechnical Engineer of Record and Geotechnical task manager for this project.

Project challenges included demonstration of static stability of proposed cut slopes with out -of -slope bedding and demonstration of seismic stability of a composite landfill liner system subjected to bedrock Peak Horizontal Ground Acceleration (PHGA) of 0.6 g. The seismic stability demonstration was based upon the results of site-specific interface testing of encapsulated GCL and a non-linear seismic site response analysis. Average acceleration time histories from the non-linear seismic site response analysis were processed in a Newmark -type seismic deformation analysis to demonstrate that calculated permanent seismic displacements are lower than 6 -in. stability criterion established by California DWR and adopted by the Santa Ana RWQCB. Subsequent project included evaluation of seeps and wet spots in the P2S2 expansion area, development of the underdrain system design, and evaluation of the underdrain system effect on the interim waste fill stability.
