Exhibit A
Scope of Services
The Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan process has reached its final steps to completion. Now, GHD Team
stands committed to serving the City of La Quinta through extra efforts to promote the vision and secure
stakeholder buy -in. We are grateful for the opportunity to submit this proposal for these additional services
while we complete remaining tasks of our existing Specific Plan and Code work.
This Additional Services Agreement (ASA) #7 will reallocate an amount of proposed fee listed below which
was otherwise part of a prior Additional Services Agreement to accelerate CEQA environmental
documentation for the 15* acre Demonstration Site. Those additional fees are no longer needed for the
Demonstration Site CEQA; therefore, this agreement also rescinds that Additional Services Agreement
request.
This ASA modifies nothing in the original AGREEMENT, except the realignment of compensation for the scope
of services to be performed (B) as follows.
B. Additional Scope of Services to Be Performed
Task 4.8.4 - Corridor Perspective Visualizations
During initial scoping, the City and the GHD Team discussed needed Corridor Specific Plan visualizations as a
follow-up to views in the 2019 Corridor Plan. While basic 3D visuals of development massing were prepared
in support of this Specific Plan process, scope and fee were not finalized for finished illustrations to elevate
those beyond previews of basic massing. The intent is to provide the La Quinta community with three full -
color illustrative views of desirable ground level conditions in a watercolor or other hand -rendered style.
These visuals will depict city -led development sites from a pedestrian perspective or very -low aerial. They will
feature multi -modal pathways, tree shading, and streetscape elements with scale people. Additional
coordination with the City is needed to finalize views and image content with edits.
Initial Meeting: review potential camera angles for three perspective views, including discussion of
streetscape elements, architectural language and detail, entourage placement.
3D View Development and Review: detail development within existing 3D model and blue pencil
overlay draft composite line drawing exported for comments by email from City Staff.
3D View Edits and Final Linework: export of rendered shading to match linework with Sketchup
native textures and photoshop textures. Photoshop "watercolor" coloring and effects.
Visualization Page Layouts: Develop poster, handout. plan document page spread to display
visualizations. These may include symbology, text, and outcome figures to enhance narrative
purpose of the visualization. Email JPEG images for final comments by City Staff.
Review Meeting: Discuss to agree on final non -substantive edits and discuss supporting native and
quantity figures in page layouts.
Visualization Page Layouts: Develop poster, handout, plan document page spread to display
visualizations. These may include symbology, text, and outcome figures to enhance narrative
purpose of the visualization. Email standalone PDF or plan document with visualization. One batch
of text edits will be accepted at this stage.
Task 4.8.5 - Stakeholder Workshops
The City has decided a round of engagement workshops will provide an opportunity for focused review of the
plan and code by property owners, managers, and related business stakeholders. The workshop format will
include a brief City -led presentation of the Public Review Draft plan. MDN, and code, followed by a Q/A
session either as a group or at table stations. The event is intended for a list of invited stakeholders. The
meeting logistics will be handled by City staff. GHD Team attendance includes one urban planner (in person)
and one LWC code representative (in person or remote) at each of four sessions. GHD Team attendance
would entail two one-night stays for each team member covering the four sessions.
Initial Coordination Meeting: Conference call with Workshop participants to plan order of events.
presentation content, and logistics.
Travel and Lodging (2 overnight stays): Travel will account for 1 GHD member and 1 LWC member
each. including one round trip airfare. vehicle rental/miles, and one night stay, performed twice to
attend 4 total workshops.
Workshop Setup and Assistance: Setup and assistance for four (4) City -led stakeholder workshops
to describe the Corridor Specific Plan, MND, and Code. Workshops will be held in two batches of
two, same -day or evening/morning for each batch,
Presentation Slide Prep: Adapt and update Corridor Specific Plan presentation originally shown in
September of 2023. Presentation may largely consist of plan document PDF pages and may be
finalized as PowerPoint or PDF format. Contributions from LWC team supporting at least 1/3 of a
maximum 45-minute presentation (recommended 45 to 60 slides). Script and messaging notes
memo will accompany presentation file.
Comments Memo Meeting: City staff and GHD Team will assemble notes gathered and agree on a
limited set of document edits in one conference call.
Task 4.8.6 - Continuing Coordination and Management
The above scoping for Tasks 4.8.4 and 4.8.5 includes 4 conference calls to coordinate visualizations and
workshops. The GHD team estimates these will constitute the majority of City contact through a month.
Continuing semi -weekly contact may be needed through to plan adoption, estimated to be early June. An
estimated 3 coordination conference calls are budgeted here. In addition, internal team coordination,
continued GHD Team internal project management is estimated through to early May.
Visualization and Workshop City Coordination: 4 conference calls estimated above (one month)
Semi -Weekly City Coordination: 3 hourlong calls, two from GHD and one from LWC each
Weekly Project Management: 2 hours per week for a GHD Team project manager and team lead
Environmental Planning Support Through Adoption: one week support as -needed
Urban Planning Responsive Edits Through Adoption: one week support as -needed
C. Reference for Remaining Task 4 Scope of Services to Be Performed
Below are summaries of remaining Task 4 Scope of Services to be performed per the Original Agreement and
prior Additional Services Agreements; for reference:
Task 4.4.3 - Staff Review of Administrative Draft Specific Plan and Code
The GHD Team will complete edits for a remaining two plan chapters, MND, and code.
Deliverables: Remaining edits to the Introduction and Policies chapters, and code.
Task4.6.1 - Prepare Public Review Draft Specific Plan and Code
GHD will perform a conference call to capture edits needed for Public Review Drafts.
Deliverables: Conference call to arrange GHD's final edits leading to Public Review Draft
Task 4.6.2 - Study Session on Public Review Draft Specific Plan and Code (Completed)
GHD is scoped to present the Public Review Drafts at workshops for Commission and Council - two
with each body or two total if combined. Two mid -project study sessions were performed in -person
when one virtual was scoped, therefore GHD remains committed to one virtual presentation if
needed.
Task 4.7.1 - Staff Meeting
GHD will perform a coordination meeting to agree on edits gathered through public review.
Deliverables: Conference call to arrange GHD's edits in response to public review.
Task 4.7.2- Prepare Public Hearing Draft Specific Plan and Code
GHD will perform final edits, internal QC, and publish the "Public Hearing" plan, MND and code.
Deliverables: Perform edits in response to public review period comments
Task 4.8 - Adoption Hearings
GHD will assemble a presentation based on plan PDFs for use in adoption hearings and will virtually
attend two adoption hearings. GHD will apply any non -substantive edits requested at these hearings
before providing final report PDFs.
D. Change in Compensation:
Total not -to -exceed compensation for services scoped above (B) will be $66.830 based on the following
breakdown of GHD labor, direct expenses. and the budget estimate from Lisa Wise Consulting (LWC).
The total compensation for accelerated CEOA services at the Demonstration Site was $67.044.60.
Those fees are reallocated to this ASA to the extent presented in this fee proposal.
In addition, the GHD team would like to take this opportunity to shift small amounts of remaining unbilled
fee between existing tasks in support of ongoing coordination calls related to the draft Code and
remaining edits in support of Specific Plan alignment with Code. Some unbilled fee remained in Task 2,
an early -stage conceptual design effort which transitioned quickly into work on Specific Plan Task 4.
There was also a smaller contingency budget we would like to transfer as well. Applying those remaining
budgets to Task 0.4 - Phase 4 Meetings & Coordination will be the most appropnate way to bill for this
time. This internal transfer also does not change the overall project fee.
A detailed breakdown of fee for additional services is provided in Attachment A_ Attachment B presents
that fee and the internal transfer in context of overall budget. That page also confirms that the overall
project budge does not change.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Corridor Plan was developed in 2019 to address connectivity, pedestrian and bicycle -
friendliness, transit, green infrastructure, economic development, and the retrofitting of the
existing suburban fabric. Recommendations for implementation of the Corridor Plan detail a
strategy for improvements, recognizing the dual functions of moving vehicles and creating a
safe, walkable environment and opportunities for future development that will lead to
increased economic competitiveness, neighborhood livability, and sustainability in La
Quinta.
Since the Corridor Plan was developed, further planning and implementation efforts have
been in progress under the current contract with GHD. Several study sessions have been
held with the Council and Planning Commission discussing zoning for the Corridor. In
December 2021, Council authorized the revised scope of work to prepare an overall Specific
Plan (SP) for the entire Corridor. This approach affords a wholistic plan to create a more
cohesive Corridor as is advised in the Corridor Plan.
In September 2020, the City entered into an Agreement with GHD for planning and
engineering services to continue efforts to implement the Corridor Plan including exploring
form -based code zoning and roadway design.
In March 2021, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 1 revising the scope of work to
include obtaining and analyzing Street Light Data to assist with roadway design services,
and additional compensation of $11,760.
68
In April 2021, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 2 to amend the Time and
Materials cost allocation, by Task, of Compensation for Services; the total Agreement
compensation remained unchanged.
In May 2021, the City revised the scope of services to include additional property owners
and developers meeting services related to the Corridor Plan pursuant to Section 2.3 of the
Agreement, and increased compensation by $4,272.
In December 2021, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 3 which initiated Phase 4
with the revised scope including preparation of a Specific Plan for the entire Corridor, and
increased compensation by $545,523.
In July 2022, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 4 which revised the scope of
services to include additional economic development strategy and market research tasks,
and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documentation for the City owned 15-acre
mixed -use project site that will be part of the Highway 111 Corridor demonstration site.
In May 2023, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 5 which allowed for 2 separate
botanical surveys as a follow-up to the initial Biological Resources Report prepared by GHD,
and increased compensation by $15,142.
In June 2024, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 6 which extended the contract
Term through June 30, 2025.
In August 2024, the City and GHD executed Amendment No. 7 which revised the scope of
services to replace Task 3, Active Transportation Program (ATP) Grant Application and
Plans, Specifications, and Engineer's Estimate (PS&E), with Task 3, Adams Street Corridor
Feasibility Study; the total Agreement compensation remained unchanged.
The Term of the Agreement expires June 30, 2025, and all Term extensions have been
utilized.
Proposed Amendment No. 8 will revise the term of the Agreement to extend the term through
June 30, 2026, and the scope of services to replace remaining open tasks in Task 5 — 15-
Acre Mixed Use Initial Study (IS)/Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) with additional work
within existing Task 4 items of work — Highway 111 Corridor Specific Plan, as outlined in
detail in Exhibit A to Amendment No. 8; the total Agreement compensation remains
unchanged.
