Sophie Truong, PE, PLS City Surveyor & Field Survey Supervisor, Principal Engineer Ms. Truong is highly skilled in all aspects of surveying and mapping work. She not only prepares topographic survey base maps, parcel maps, and miscellaneous survey documents (e.g. Lot Line Adjustments, Street or Easement Vacations, etc.) for municipal projects/lots, but also reviews all types of mapping documents associated with private land development and performs all functions of the Technical Reviewer/City Surveyor. She currently manages on-call review projects and signs as City Surveyor for 16 Cities and Towns: Belmont, Campbell, Colma, Daly City, East Palo Alto, Los Altos Hills, Monte Sereno, Orinda, Pacifica, Rohnert Park, San Juan Bautista, San Carlos, San Pablo, San Leandro, San Mateo, and Woodside. David Rubcic, PE, PLS QA/QC Mapping Review, Senior Project Manager Mr. Rubcic is a professional engineer and land surveyor with over 36 years of experience in all phases of municipal engineering including subdivision improvement review, management of land development projects, capital improvement projects, inspections, and master planning. Mr. Rubcic provides project management and map review for large private development projects in the Cities of Gilroy and Marina where he acts as Acting City Surveyor, and in the Town of Windsor. He also performs development review for the City of Rohnert Park and provides oversight and performs quality control for the Cities of San Leandro and Daly City. Lori Weis, PLS Mapping Review, Senior Land Surveyor Ms. Weis has over 30 years of experience in field surveying and mapping review. She specializes in title research and review of Tract Maps, Parcel Maps, and Plat and Legal Descriptions. She has previously served as City Surveyor for the City of Milpitas and currently leads all map reviews for City of Mountain View.

CSG PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF LA QUINTA ON-CALL MAP CHECKING SERVICES 5 Work Plan/Technical Approach CITY SURVEYOR - MAP REVIEW SERVICES The traditional role of the City Surveyor is to ensure that maps, legal descriptions, and plats prepared for private developments or public projects are technically correct. However, more often than not, the City Surveyor also routinely ensures that the documents are comprehensive of City requirements and completed in accordance with the California Subdivision Map Act and local ordinances and are in substantial conformance with the approved entitlement application (traditionally the functions of the City Engineer). The City Surveyor’s functions can vary, but typically include evaluating the documents submitted by applicants for completeness, reviewing and providing written comments and ‘redlines’, and signing final documents/certificates or mylar prints of subdivision maps once approved. When complicated or unusual circumstances arise, the City Surveyor often meets with and advises the City Engineer and private applicants. On rare occasions, the City surveyor may also be directed to set street monuments not set by private development surveyors. Detailed Scope of Work CSG will review Final/Tract and Parcel Maps, Amending Maps, Certificates of Correction, Street Dedications and Public Easement Grants (Plats/Legal Descriptions), Lot Line Adjustments and Lot Mergers (Plats/Legal descriptions, and complete certificates), or other documents for compliance and conformance with the following: • Approved Tentative Map (for subdivisions) • Conditions of Approval • The California Subdivision Map Act • The Professional Land Surveyor’s Act • Industry Standards and Local Practice • Title information for the property, including existing easements and any other relevant land encumbrances, based on information contained in a preliminary title report (PTR) and record documents to be furnished by the applicant (a hyperlinked PTR typically works best) • Survey and miscellaneous information presented on parent record maps and deeds of the subject and adjacent properties • The Project Improvement Plans and other documents, when conformance review is required by the City In conjunction with each review, CSG performs the following: • Review of closure calculations 4 S E C T I O N CSG PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF LA QUINTA ON-CALL MAP CHECKING SERVICES 6 • Review, seal and sign final mylar copies of subdivision maps or sign various certificates for technical correctness (as Acting City Surveyor or Technical Reviewer) • Preparation of Staff Report(s) for City Council approval, if required • Preparation of Lot Line Adjustment and Lot Merger certificates • Preparation of Certificates of Compliance (including review of the Chain of Title for the parcel in question, and preparation of a technical memorandum describing our findings). In addition to the documents listed above, CSG also regularly reviews Tentative Maps and assists municipalities with preparing Conditions of Approval (COAs). As City Surveyor, our scope of work is generally limited to review of the boundary and title information, and generating COAs associated with easements, or vacations or dedications of Rights-of-way. However, CSG can assist with all facets of Tentative Map reviews, including engineering reviews if needed. Information regarding our Engineering Land Development Review Department can be provided upon request. CSG’s Review Process New map submittals will be coordinated with the proposed project manager. At the time of new submittals, the applicant may decide to meet with the City and CSG’s project manager via Zoom or Microsoft (MS) Teams, or in person, to briefly present the project and discuss any challenges. Upon receipt of the submittal package, CSG will perform a cursory review to determine if the submittal is complete or let the applicant know if additional documents are needed for the review. The documents required to initiate a mapping review consist of the following (minimum): ✓ Final or Parcel Map (or plat & legal description) in a PDF format ✓ A hyperlinked Preliminary Title Report, dated within 60 days ✓ Closure Calculations ✓ Any other record document used in the preparation of the new map or plat and legal description that is not readily available via the hyperlinked PTR Depending on the City’s preference and project timeline, we may require missing documents immediately or address the matter in the form of a general comment with the first review. Under the direct supervision of Ms. Truong, map reviews are typically completed by our team within fifteen (15) working days after receipt of a complete submittal package. Redlined documents and written comments are prepared for each review and can be provided electronically via email (most common), via overnight delivery, or by regular mail. Although comments are always provided to the City, comments may also be provided directly to the applicants upon City’s request. Subsequent submittals are typically reviewed within five to ten (5-10) working days, but additional review time may be requested depending on project size, complexity, and applicant responsiveness to the first review. Conversely, expedited plan reviews may be performed upon request in certain cases. Following each review, CSG is available to meet with City staff and/or applicants to discuss comments via Zoom, MS Teams, or by conference call. Our staff is always available to meet with applicants to discuss concerns and explain comments, at any stage of the review process. In addition to Ms. Truong, four (4) licensed Land Surveyors and ample additional map checkers are readily available on or off site to deal with any fluctuating workload. Technology & Resources CSG staff are trained in the latest technologies available for mapping review work. The following methods are employed daily at CSG: Bluebeam Revu  Our staff utilizes the latest version of Bluebeam Revu for digital map and plan review. CSG PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF LA QUINTA ON-CALL MAP CHECKING SERVICES 7  Of particular note is the software’s ability to quickly compare two similar documents, particularly near approval, to ensure no additional unapproved changes are made. ParcelQuest  CSG subscribes to this web-based application to quickly pull publicly available data such as Owner names, addresses, APNs and APN maps from the regional Assessor’s Office database. Zoom and Microsoft Teams platforms  Virtual meetings, including screen sharing, allows for more efficient coordination and immediate collaboration.  Virtual communication is now widely used to reduce overall review time and control costs. Time ‘And Costs’ Are of The Essence We understand that private development projects are often rush projects that require immediate attention and meticulous follow-through. Our strategy for staying on track, expediting reviews when possible, and maintaining quality while not noticeably increasing the level of effort (and costs) is as follows: • Keep the same map reviewer on a project whenever possible, thereby eliminating any additional and extraneous effort by other staff members • Utilize to the maximum extent feasible the functionalities of the digital map review software used (such as ‘document compare’ and the ‘Toolbox’ used to generate duplicate comments) • Daily tracking by the Project Manager of submittals due dates and coordination with staff • Avoiding unnecessary resubmittals or delayed resubmittals by scheduling virtual meetings or conference calls to discuss complicated comments or highly deficient work products (with City’s consent) SURVEY S AND DOCUMENTS FOR PUBLIC PROJECTS On occasion, certain projects will require that the City prepare documents affecting property rights on behalf of the public (such as right-of-way dedications or vacations, and public easements) or prepare documents affecting the fee title ownership of public property (such as lot line adjustments for public facilities – Community Centers, Police Stations, Parks, Corporation Yards, etc.) CSG has assisted many of our clients in such transactions and worked closely with City Attorneys to ensure that proper procedures and legal requirements are observed. Detailed Scope of Work The types of legal documents that may be prepared by the City will vary but may include Parcel Maps, Lot Line Adjustments, Lot Mergers, and more. Plats and legal descriptions may need to be prepared. For street dedication or vacation documents, as well as easement grants and abandonments, the burden of preparing the plats and legal descriptions are typically put on the private party responsible for the private development that triggered the need for the land transaction (such as an right-of-way vacation). For those occasions when there are no private developments associated with the work in question (such as a lot merger between two City-owned parcels), the documents are typically prepared as stand-alone documents/instruments by the City Surveyor. Lastly, records of survey may also be prepared if dictated by the Professional Land Surveyor’s Act. All documents are produced using the same level of care and quality control as mapping reviews, and prepared in conformity to the following legal codes: • California Subdivision Map Act • Professional Land Surveyor’s Act CSG PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF LA QUINTA ON-CALL MAP CHECKING SERVICES 8 • Streets and Highways Code • Civil Code • Other relevant sections of the Government Code All maps or certificates are prepared using local industry standards and pre-established City requirements. CSG’s Map/Document Preparation Process CSG will meet with City representatives to discuss the scope of the project, general expectations, and final intent for the public property. Occasionally, better or quicker solutions are proposed to resolve issues after the project is thoroughly assessed and discussed. CSG will provide field and office surveys, perform research of record documents, and order and analyze Preliminary Title Information. The parcel map (or legal description and plat as the case may be) are subsequently prepared and submitted for review and comment to the City prior to producing mylar prints or final certificates and obtaining signatures from all parties.

Our dedicated QA/QC Manager will be responsible for the following: • Establishing guidelines & assigning accountable personnel and responsibilities for each task. • Assuring that all deliverables are reviewed, including products from subconsultants. • Monitoring the process to assure that the schedule and budget are followed. • Participating in the internal and external reviews. • Reviewing and signing off on deliverables before submittal to the clients. The quality control is the responsibility of every team member of our staff at every level and at every milestone of the project development processes. All deliverables, including technical engineering reports, studies, design drawings and calculations, and maps are subject to a multi-tiered approach for review to ensure that all products are checked for accuracy, correctness, completeness and conformity with the City’s municipal code and design guidelines and standards, State, Federal and regulatory agencies requirements. The QA / QC Manager conducts audits of the QA / QC process to ensure that all reviews are being properly conducted and documented by all team members. Deliverables will be reviewed for: • Compliance with approved formats, criteria, specifications, & professional standards of practice • Adequacy, clarity, ease of interpretation • Consistency • Errors and discrepancies • Coordination with related project elements • Ability to monitor project budget and scope We understand that private development projects are often rush projects that require immediate attention and meticulous follow-through. Our strategy for staying on track, expediting reviews when possible, and maintaining quality while not noticeably increasing the level of effort (and costs) is as follows: • Keep the same map reviewer on a project whenever possible, thereby eliminating any additional and extraneous effort by other staff members • Utilize to the maximum extent feasible the functionalities of the digital map review software used (such as ‘document compare’ and the ‘Toolbox’ used to generate duplicate comments) • Daily tracking by the Project Manager of submittals due dates and coordination with staff • Avoiding unnecessary resubmittals or delayed resubmittals by scheduling virtual meetings or conference calls to discuss complicated comments or highly deficient work products (with City’s consent) • Communication with clients and stakeholders CSG understands that clear communication with the City is vital to delivering the reviews successfully and getting projects approved. This also allows us to gauge any potential issues and resolve them appropriately. Internally, CSG conducts regular staff meetings where review progress and issues can be discussed to determine ways to 11 S E C T I O N CSG PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF LA QUINTA ON-CALL MAP CHECKING SERVICES 20 enhance review quality and eliminate duplication and conflicting comments for the reviews that involve multiple disciplines. We also recognize that each jurisdiction is different and during onboarding meetings we will work with the City to establish an efficient, straightforward “Communication Protocol” which addresses the City’s needs. • Hard Copy & Digital Plan Review CSG began the transition to digital plan review over 20 years ago, leading the consultant field with this ground-breaking service. As part of our service, all paper plans submitted to CSG are immediately scanned into digital files and stored on CSG’s servers for quick and easy access by both our clients and our plan reviewers. Our plan reviewers furnish electronic versions of their plan comments conforming to each client’s established correction list templates. Any additional forms utilized by the City for alternative methods of construction and/or deviations from requirements, such as disabled access, will be incorporated into the correction comments and returned with the appropriate recommendations. Plan check comments can be delivered electronically by email or other City approved means, enabling City staff to immediately modify CSG’s checklist for incorporation with other department comments. Upon request, clients can be provided with a set of digitally scanned plans at no cost, including convenient, “green” (paperless) storage of all construction-related documents. In addition, for jurisdictions requesting a pure digital plan review workflow, CSG has developed an online web application for an applicant to submit digital files directly to us, which includes an online portal for the applicant/jurisdiction to retrieve comments and submitted digital files with marked up plans including redlines. This online portal tracks all submittals, including re-submittals until the plans have been approved. Key features of our digital plan review service include: • Efficient – Plans are pushed to plan review staff the same day they are submitted.
