Agreement, Contracting Party shall provide those services related to the 2025
Parking Study for the Village Build -Out Plan Area, Project No. 2025-13, as specified in
the "Scope of Services" attached hereto as "Exhibit A" and incorporated herein by
this reference (the "Services"). Contracting Party represents and warrants that
Contracting Party is a design professional as defined by Civil Code § 2782 of first-class
work and/or services and Contracting Party is experienced in performing the Services
contemplated herein and, in light of such status and experience, Contracting Party
covenants that it shall follow applicable industry standards in effect at the time
of the project in performing the Services required hereunder, and that all
materials, if any, will be of good quality, fit for the purpose intended. For
purposes of this Agreement, the phrase "industry standards" shall mean those
standards of practice contemplated in Section 1.6 below.
1.2 Compliance with Law. All Services rendered hereunder shall be provided
in accordance with all applicable ordinances, resolutions, statutes, rules, regulations,
and laws of the City and any Federal, State, or local governmental agency of
competent jurisdiction in effect at the time of the project.

applicable Federal, State, and local wage and hour laws.

which may be imposed by law and arise from or are necessary for the performance

responsible for all subcontractors' compliance with this Section.
1.5 Familiarity with Work. By executing this Agreement, Contracting Party warrants
that (a) it has considered the Services to be performed based on the City's Request for
Proposals, (b) it has investigated the site where the Services are to be performed, if any,
and fully acquainted itself with the conditions there existing, (c) it has carefully considered
how the Services should be performed, and (d) it fully understands the facilities,
difficulties, and restrictions attending performance of the Services under this Agreement.
Should Contracting Party discover any latent or unknown conditions materially differing

immediately inform City of such fact and shall not proceed except at Contracting Party's
risk until written instructions are received from the Contract Officer, or assigned designee
(as defined in Section 4.2 hereof).

design professional and that, consistent with this understanding, Contracting Party's work

the same profession currently practicing under similar circumstances at the same time
and in the same or similar locality. Contracting Party holds the necessary skills and

Agreement, Contracting Party shall perform services in addition to those specified in the

said adjustments are subject to the written approval of Contracting Party. It is expressly
understood by Contracting Party that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to the
Services specifically set forth in the Scope of Services or reasonably contemplated
therein. It is specifically understood and agreed that oral requests and/or approvals of
Additional Services shall be barred and are unenforceable. Failure of Contracting Party
to secure the Contract Officer's, or assigned designee's written, authorization for
Additional Services shall constitute a waiver of any and all right to adjustment of the
Contract Sum or time to perform this Agreement, whether by way of compensation,
-2-
restitution, quantum meruit, or the like, for Additional Services provided without the
appropriate authorization from the Contract Officer, or assigned designee.

Contracting Party shall be compensated in accordance with "Exhibit B" (the "Schedule of

receive payment, Contracting Party shall submit to City no later than the tenth (10th)
working day of such month, in the form approved by City's Finance Director, an invoice

the terms of this Agreement. Upon approval in writing by the Contract Officer, or assigned
designee, and subject to retention pursuant to Section 8.3, City will pay Contracting Party
for all items stated thereon which are approved by City pursuant to this Agreement no
later than thirty (30) days after invoices are received by the City's Finance Department.
2.3 Compensation for Additional Services. Additional Services approved in
advance by the Contract Officer, or assigned designee, pursuant to Section 1.7 of this
Agreement shall be paid for in an amount agreed to in writing through a duly executed
-3-
amendment or change order by both City and Contracting Party in advance of the
Additional Services being rendered by Contracting Party. Any compensation for
Additional Services amounting to five percent (5%) of the Contract Sum or Fifteen
Thousand Dollars ($15,000), whichever is less, may be approved by the Contract Officer,
or assigned designee. Any greater amount of compensation for Additional Services must
be approved by the La Quinta City Council, the City Manager, or Department Director,
depending upon City laws, regulations, rules and procedures concerning public
contracting. Under no circumstances shall Contracting Party receive compensation for
any Additional Services without prior written approval through a duly executed
amendment or change order for the Additional Services is obtained from the Contract

3. PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE.
3.1 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.

set forth in Section 3.2 and "Exhibit C", it is understood that the City will suffer damage.
3.2 Schedule of Performance. All Services rendered pursuant to this Agreement
shall be performed diligently and within the time period established in "Exhibit C" (the

Performance may be approved in writing by the Contract Officer, or assigned designee.
3.3 Force Majeure. The time period specified in the Schedule of Performance for
performance of the Services rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended
because of any delays due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the
fault or negligence of Contracting Party, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of
the public enemy, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemic, quarantine restrictions, riots,
strikes, freight embargoes, acts of any governmental agency other than City, and
unusually severe weather, if Contracting Party shall within ten (10) days of the
commencement of such delay notify the Contract Officer, or assigned designee, in writing
of the causes of the delay. The Contract Officer, or assigned designee, shall ascertain
the facts and the extent of delay, and extend the time for performing the Services for the
period of the forced delay when and if in the Contract Officer's judgment such delay is
justified, and the Contract Officer's determination, or assigned designee, shall be final
and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Extensions to time period in the
Schedule of Performance which are determined by the Contract Officer, or assigned
designee, to be justified pursuant to this Section shall not entitle the Contracting Party to
additional compensation in excess of the Contract Sum.

of this Agreement, the term of this agreement shall commence on November 19, 2025,
and terminate on November 19, 2026 ("Initial Term"). This Agreement may be extended

Party for the specific purpose intended and causes to be made or makes any changes or
alterations in said Documents and Materials, City hereby releases, discharges, and
exonerates Contracting Party from liability resulting from said change. The provisions of

N
8.2 Disputes. In the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement, the injured
party shall notify the injuring party in writing of its contentions by submitting a claim
therefore. The injured party shall continue performing its obligations hereunder so long
as the injuring party commences to cure such default within ten (10) days of service of
such notice and completes the cure of such default within forty-five (45) days after service
of the notice, or such longer period as may be permitted by the Contract Officer, or
assigned designee; provided that if the default is an immediate danger to the health,
safety, or general welfare, City may take such immediate action as City deems warranted.
Compliance with the provisions of this Section shall be a condition precedent to

shall not be a waiver of any party's right to take legal action in the event that the dispute
is not cured, provided that nothing herein shall limit City's right to terminate this
Agreement without cause pursuant to this Article 8.0. During the period of time that
Contracting Party is in default, City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is

discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during any period of default.
8.3 Retention of Funds. City may withhold from any monies payable to Contracting
Party sufficient funds to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages it
reasonably believes were suffered by City due to the default of Contracting Party in the
performance of the Services required by this Agreement.
8.4 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of a non -
defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a
waiver. City's consent or approval of any act by Contracting Party requiring City's consent
or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary City's consent to or
approval of any subsequent act of Contracting Party. 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.
8.5 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.
8.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take
legal action, at law or at 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.

termination of this Agreement, except as specifically provided in the following Section for

or without cause, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Contracting Party. Upon receipt
-10-
of any notice of termination, Contracting Party shall immediately cease all Services
hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer, or
assigned designee. Contracting Party shall be entitled to compensation for all Services
rendered prior to receipt of the notice of termination and for any Services authorized by
the Contract Officer, or assigned designee, thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of
Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, or assigned
designee, except amounts held as a retention pursuant to this Agreement.
8.8 Termination for Default of Contracting Party. If termination is due to the failure
of Contracting Party to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, Contracting Party shall
vacate any City -owned property which Contracting Party is permitted to occupy hereunder
and City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 8.2, take over the Services
and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and Contracting Party
shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the Services required
hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that City shall use
reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to
Contracting Party for the purpose of setoff or partial payment of the amounts owed City.
8.9 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 attorneys' fees;
provided, however, that the attorneys' fees awarded pursuant to this Section shall not

Walker completed a comprehensive Downtown Parking and Mobility Study to reimagine how travel, access, and
parking could support more than 1,000 new residential units, a new parking garage for the train station, and
growing demands from businesses, residents, and visitors. A goal of the City was to balance traditional vehicle

Districts
City of Newport Beach, California (2010, 2018, 2021, 2024)
Reference: Benjamin Zdeba, Principal Planner, 949.644.3253, bzdeba@newportbeachca.gov
Liz Westmoreland, Senior Planner, 949.644.3234, Lestmoreland@newportbeach.gov
The City of Newport Beach engaged Walker to update its parking ordinance, with a focus on minimum parking
requirements in five of its commercial districts, most of which are historic.
Key Features
• The engagement was in response
to concerns that the city's parking
requirements were onerous,
and impeding businesses from
opening and expanding and
properties from changing uses.
• The Coastal Commission indicated
flexibility in parking regulations
and adequacy in commercial
districts, as well as access to the
districts enhanced through non -
driving measures.
• Steffen led the public outreach
efforts for this engagement,
including meetings with business
groups, community groups,
commissioners, and City staff.
Solutions Provided
• Walker conducted analyses of
parking in each district, as well as
targeted analyses of TNC, bicycle,
e-bike, and golf cart usage.
• We also explored updating the
city's valet ordinance in order to
increase parking capacity in the
districts.
• We determined that a pooled -
parking supply approach,
combined with actual changes to
parking requirements, was viable
in four of the five districts under
study and likely acceptable to the
Coastal Commission.
Benefits
• Walker is currently working with
the City to apply our findings
specifically to the Corona del
Mar district as part of a Corona
del Mar Corridor Plan being
developed specifically to facilitate
the creation of more businesses
and make the district more
walkable.

Hot Springs Project Manager, currently Project Manager for City of Culver City), 310.253.6508
b. Project Description: The City of Desert Hot Springs and the Southern California Association of Governments
(SCAG) engaged Walker to prepare a parking and curb management plan for the downtown commercial
district. We analyzed current and future parking demand, explored options to add parking supply, multimodal
access, changes to local parking ordinance, and funding sources. We also assessed parking and mobility needs
in the cannabis district, addressing the large number of employees traveling to and from the area daily.
c. Project Start and End Dates: 4/26/2022-3/5/2024
d. Staff Assigned to the Project: Steffen Turoff, Tania Schleck, Daniel Garcia, Jonathan Wicks
e. Final Outcome: Throughout the study, the Walker team met with city staff from multiple departments,
business owners, customers and other visitors, using methods ranging from "pop -ups" at large local events to
online surveys. The study culminated with a presentation to the city council of the Parking Management and
Access Plan containing a road map for parking policy and operational improvements.

Director at City of Rialto), 909.820.8008, ctaylor@rialtoca.gov
b. Project Description: Our team developed a parking management plan to support Beaumont's economic
goals and address downtown demand. The study assessed current utilization, engaged stakeholders, and
outlined strategies such as shared use of underutilized lots, right -sized parking requirements, and potential
paid parking.
c. Project Start and End Dates: 6/9/2020-3/29/2022
d. Staff Assigned to the Project: Steffen Turoff, Eric Haggett, Tania Schleck, Daniel Garcia
e. Final Outcome: The study identified areas with high parking demand and outlined solutions to manage
it. Policies were developed to support a "park once" philosophy downtown, along with right -sized parking
requirements for different land uses based on observed utilization in Beaumont. The analysis also evaluated
the feasibility of establishing paid parking in the downtown area, providing the City with a clear framework for
managing future parking needs.
a. Client Name, Client PM, and Contact Info: City of Santa Monica, Eric O'Connor, 310.458.1975, eric.
oconnor@santamonica.gov
b. Project Description: The City of Santa Monica sought a consistent, transparent process to adjust parking
rates and manage high demand within its compact 8.3-square-mile footprint. Walker developed a model using
parking rates from peer communities and average peak occupancy data for on- and off-street spaces, creating
a technical framework to set rates that balance demand and improve use of underutilized resources.
c. Project Start and End Dates: 5/8/2024-Present
d. Staff Assigned to the Project: Steffen Turoff, Eric Haggett, Tania Schleck, Daniel Garcia
e. Final Outcome: City staff were able to develop defensible parking rate recommendations and the City
Council members were able to approve them knowing that their constituents were engaged and informed
in the process. Depoliticizing the parking ratesetting process enabled the City to make more frequent
adjustments which can better optimize not only the parking system, but the entire transportation system.

9a. A description of the team's understanding of the project and how the project team will approach project
development.
Project Understanding
Walker understands the City of La Quinta's Village Commercial District (the Village) has experienced steady growth
and success. The combination of land uses and lively atmosphere of the Village has made parking more difficult
to find, prompting the City of La Quinta to seek solutions for this ongoing issue. A parking study was previously
conducted in 2006, and now the City wants to develop a comprehensive update to support future access and
growth. The new study will help the City's decision -makers, the public, and local businesses better understand
and address their parking needs. The parking analysis and strategy recommendation for the Village Commercial
District and Build -Out Plan Area will assess parking adequacy for current and future demand. The first phase
of the project will involve a thorough analysis of existing parking conditions, including an inventory of available
facilities and an evaluation of vehicle and pedestrian circulation patterns. Based on these findings, the second
phase will recommend a parking development and management strategy to meet current and future needs,
emphasizing practical yet innovative infrastructure solutions while respecting the Village's theme and supporting
local businesses.
As part of this effort, the City is exploring a revision of its parking in lieu fee and related policies. Defining the
objectives of the in lieu fee, and whether they are fully achievable given constraints, will be part of this study.
Walker Consultants has developed the following approach and scope of services to ensure the project's success.
Walker's Planning Approach
Learn: Our planning process begins by learning from the people who live, work, and play in your community
every day, and to understand others who may do so in the future. We begin each project by learning as much as
we can about your unique circumstances from you, your staff, community stakeholders, and existing data sources.
We also strive to communicate throughout our planning processes to hear people's real concerns, generate buy -in
for our plans, and build trust with the people who will be impacted daily by the changes that are implemented.
Observe and Experience: It is impossible to truly understand how people perceive their environment
without experiencing it firsthand. That is why our project team spends time walking around your community,
observing traffic and parking access, exploring your Village Commercial District and Build -Out Area, and observing
how people move through and interact with your unique location.
Understand: We tailor solutions to your unique circumstances and built environment by applying what we
have learned to develop a cohesive understanding of the challenges you, City leadership, and community face.
Strategize: Strategy development aligns your community's specific needs with our extensive expertise in
developing and implementing solutions that enhance people's experiences and foster engagement with their
environment.
Listen and Adapt: We focus on implementation. After presenting our proposed solutions and hearing your
feedback on the realistic prospects of acceptance, we adapt our recommendations and their phasing to focus on
actionable steps.
Communicate: We work with the City to develop a strategy for communicating findings and recommendations
to the broader community. Customized informational documents are disseminated through accessible
communication channels to help convey our shared vision for improving your community and future development.

9b. A description of the tasks, sub -tasks, and specific deliverables that will be provided.
Scope of Services
The proposed scope of services includes all the requested services listed in the RFP on page 6, Section II. Walker
has organized and presented the proposed scope of services by sequential phases and tasks that build on
quantitative and qualitative data and analyses, resulting in an actionable, community -supported Village parking
study and plan.
Phase 1: Comprehensive Analysis of Parking Conditions
Task 1: Project Coordination and Problem Identification
As highlighted by our planning approach, learning about La Quinta and its unique needs is the first step toward
developing a successful plan to address your parking challenges. This knowledge gained, along with ongoing
coordination between the Walker team and the city, will be accomplished as follows:
1. Participate in a project kickoff meeting with City staff to confirm the proposed project timeline, including
tentative dates for field data collection, project deliverable due dates, possible stakeholder engagement
events, and key City Design and Development Department and City Council meeting dates.
a. During the kickoff meeting, begin identifying the core parking and pedestrian circulation problems and
concerns, and any existing data that might be useful for the project team. Walker will develop a request
for information (RFI) and submit that to the city in advance of the kickoff meeting. Sources of information
already received include:
i. 2006 Village Parking Study,
ii. Village Build -Out Assumptions,
iii. 2035 La Quinta General Plan,
iv. Municipal Code, Title 9 Zoning,
v. Zoning and General Plan Maps, and
vi. Proposed Development Map.
b. Additionally, during the kickoff meeting, clear communication protocols and the schedule for regular
check -in calls will be established. The project check -in calls will be held using Microsoft Teams to ensure
efficient access and participation, and to share working documents with the project team conveniently.
In -person meetings will be scheduled for the project kick-off, stakeholder meetings, and formal
presentation(s). The tentative schedule for these meetings will be determined during the kickoff meeting
and adjusted as needed throughout the project.
2. In coordination with the appropriate City staff, finalize and implement the Walker team's planned community
engagement strategy, which is intended to include:
a. Developing a web -based questionnaire to collect quantitative and qualitative information regarding
stakeholders' parking and transportation habits and interests, with the City advertising the survey through
its existing communications channels.
b. Facilitating up to two (2) public meetings in an open house setting to:
i. Elicit opinions and thoughts from stakeholder groups regarding parking and pedestrian access.

ii. Inform the public by delivering educational presentations that enlighten the participants about
parking -related issues, including but not limited to the costs to provide parking, the costs of parking
subsidies, and case studies of successful parking practices embraced by other communities.
c. Conducting up to five (5) virtual meetings with downtown business owners, cultural institutions, residents,
or other interest groups.
Phase 1, Task 1 Deliverables
Detailed problem definition and community feedback summary report.
City Responsibilities
• Assemble City's project team
• Attend the Project Kickoff
• Approve the community stakeholder plan and provide public meeting space
• Review Task 1 Deliverable
• Meeting to discuss Task 1 results
Task 2: Parking Inventory and Mapping
In addition to the experiences of the people who live, work, and play in La Quinta, our team must also have a
thorough knowledge of the physical makeup of the City's parking assets and pedestrian circulation patterns. The
Walker team will complete the following tasks to understand this physical context:
1. Conduct a comprehensive inventory of all public and private parking locations and spaces in the defined study
area, which is referred to as the La Quinta Village Commercial District and Build -Out Plan Area.
a. In addition to the location and number of parking spaces, the Walker team will record posted time limits,
user restrictions, pricing, and ownership, where possible.
b. Document infrastructure serving alternative modes of transportation, including transit stops and routes,
bike lanes, sidewalk infrastructure connecting public parking to popular destinations, designated ride -
sharing pick-up/drop-off (PUDO) zones (if any), and commercial loading zones.
c. For the purposes of this proposal, the Walker team has assumed that driveways and private garages
associated with single-family homes will be excluded from this task.
Based on discussions with City staff and our own observations of parking dynamics, the Walker team will
determine if parking facilities adjacent to but outside the study area may impact parking and pedestrian
access dynamics.
If it is determined that there are parking facilities outside the study area that meet this criterion, the
Walker team will inventory and map these facilities.
b. Even if no parking facilities outside the study area appear to impact the dynamics today, the Walker team
will attempt to identify parking facilities that could potentially impact the parking and pedestrian access
dynamics in the study area in the future.
Phase 1, Task 2 Deliverables
• Comprehensive parking inventory, including relative locations of bus stops and bike lanes, in a GIS-
compatible format.
• Parking inventory maps and summary data for inclusion in later project deliverables.

City Responsibilities
• Review Task 2 Deliverable
• Meeting to discuss Task 2 results
Task 3: Parking Needs Analysis and Zoning Ordinance Review
The next step includes our team developing a clear understanding of current and future parking demand
conditions in the study area. During the Parking Needs Analysis, the Walker team will evaluate current and
projected future parking conditions.
Current parking dynamics will be documented through counts of parked vehicles. The occupancy counts will then
be compared to the current parking supply to determine the estimated parking adequacy on a block -by -block
basis. Some of the questions that need to be resolved during this task include:
• What is the current parking demand versus the current parking supply?
• Is there a parking surplus or deficit, and where do these conditions occur?
• What are the typical parking patterns and characteristics?
• What will parking conditions be like in the future?
• Is additional parking required? If so, how much and where?
• Who needs the additional parking? Retail/restaurant patrons, employees, residents, etc.?
The Walker team will also solicit input from the city during this task to understand how existing land uses in the
study area might change in the future through development and redevelopment activity. Using this information,
our team will compare the projections of future parking demand to the existing parking supply to determine
anticipated future parking adequacy.
To complete the Parking Needs Analysis, the Walker team will undertake the following tasks:
1. Request and review current land use information, including any available information on current vacancy rates
of existing commercial properties.
2. Request and review available information related to in -progress, planned, and proposed development or
redevelopment projects expected to occur in the study area over the next five (5) years.
3. Conduct parking occupancy counts of all public and private parking in the study area on two weekdays and
one Saturday, avoiding major holidays or atypical events.
a. The number of parked vehicles in each off-street parking facility and in each on -street parking area will be
documented at least once every two (2) hours from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
b. The Walker team will also note the number of occupied ADA spaces in each location to understand better
the use and availability of ADA parking throughout the study area.
4. Determine the study area's parking surplus or shortfall under current conditions and create tabular and
graphic illustrations of parking adequacy.
5. Project future parking demand impacts from the known in -progress, planned, and proposed development and
redevelopment projects, and overlay those onto the analysis of current parking adequacy to quantify potential
future parking surpluses and shortfalls.
a. Develop up to three (3) future demand projections that represent different planning assumptions that
may include different development phases, development density, land use types, etc.
b. Prepare assumption sheets for each scenario.

Evaluate the Village Commercial District and Build -Out Plan Area parking development standards in the Zoning
Ordinance and provide recommendations for improvements or modifications in relation to the existing parking
standards.
7. Review and opine on the parking -related impact of the current land use regulations, the Village Buil-Out Plan,
and the Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and analyze projected growth in both commercial and residential
sectors.
8. Provide proposed parking solutions to accommodate anticipated changes and growth in the study area.
Phase 1, Task 3 Deliverables
• Parking needs analysis report, including:
• Visual representations of current and projected on- and off-street parking adequacy.
• Existing ADA parking supply and demand analysis.
• Pedestrian circulation review and analysis.
• Zoning Ordinance review.
• Land Use Regulations review.
• Proposed parking solutions.
City Responsibilities
• Review Task 2 Deliverable
• Meeting to discuss Task 2 results
Phase 2: Recommended Parking Development and
Management Strategy
Task 1: Policies, Practices, Costs, and In Lieu Fee Program
Walker will use the findings from Phase 1 to identify area -wide and localized parking deficits. We will identify
these deficits by location, number of spaces, time of day and seasonality, frequency, and then develop a list of
mitigations and their rough order of magnitude (ROM) capital, operational, and maintenance costs to implement.
The mitigations could include but are not limited to:
• Adding additional physical parking spaces surface lots, structured parking, mechanical parking facilities, and at
the curb (this last part of the exercise would be undertaken in consultation with the city traffic engineer and
data provided by that department).
• Adding parking capacity through sharing in some manner parking spaces with existing or future private
capacity.
• Effectively adding parking capacity through pedestrian improvements that increase the walkshed and increase
acceptable walking distances between downtown area destinations and parking locations.
• Operational parking improvements that effectively increase the capacity of existing parking spaces, ranging
from changes to time limits and paid parking, to valet and attendant assist services at busy locations.
Develop programs that may enhance access and the La Quinta study area destination itself, through greater use
of services such as Lyft, Uber, and Waymo, golf carts, improved bikaeability for both standard and e-bicycles,
shuttles — both traditional and driverless — including those provided through services such as Via, Zoox, and
similarproviders of mobility as a service.

Walker will also explore using the existing parking in lieu fee program and possible changes to the program to
provide flexibility in how parking is provided and a possible funding source.
The Walker team proposed for this engagement has done extensive work developing and revising municipal
parking in lieu fee programs, including creating the City of Healdsburg's program, which may fund new parking
as well as pedestrian and bicycle improvements, and evaluating and updating parking in lieu fee programs in
the Cities of Carpinteria, Davis, El Monte, Santa Rosa, and Beaumont. Walker also conducted the analysis to
recalculate and update the City of Napa's parking impact fee for the city's Economic Development Department,
in accordance with the requirements of California's Mitigation Fee Act. We note many differences between the
requirements for calculating a parking in lieu fee and ensuring its reasonable relationship to the purpose it serves.
The in lieu fee is, by definition, optional, and in our experience, how and to what improvements it is applied —
whether as a lump sum or annual fee, for capital or programmatic improvements —is flexible.
However, the parking impact fee is required regardless of whether a developer builds parking, and based on our
experience, the connection to the specific capital improvements that the impact fee is meant to fund must be
more clearly defined. Parking in lieu fees for municipalities in California range from less than $5,000 to more than
$70,000 per space, depending on a variety of policy considerations and methodologies for determination. Walker
does not provide legal advice; the City's legal counsel should review and approve any language and amount of a
parking in lieu fee.
A parking in lieu fee is not a requirement but an alternative to building the required, physical parking space. For
this reason, a "reasonable relationship" between the parking in lieu fee amount and what the city intends to
provide in return for that fee is what is expected when establishing the fee. One challenge when determining a
parking in lieu fee is that if set too high, the fee becomes infeasible for developers or businesses to pay, and an
ineffective policy tool. If it is set too low, the fees cannot provide material funding for improvements. However, a
parking in lieu fee program can provide developers and businesses with flexibility to open businesses, and a lower
parking in lieu fee is likely more beneficial to achieving policy goals than one set so high that few participate in the
program.
Further, without a critical mass of development capable of generating a requirement for perhaps hundreds of
parking spaces, it is challenging for in lieu fees to fund significant capital projects. Should a large capital project
in need of a significant city investment be necessary, it is reasonable to expect that such an effort would occur
through a development agreement or similar, and not through an existing program. Parking in lieu fees fund
surface parking, but are typically no more than a small piece of the funding for structured parking. To complete a
study of the parking in lieu fee structure in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act, the Walker team will perform
the following tasks:
1. Review the current parking in lieu fee structure and program.
2. Confirm the borders of the parking area that improvements are intended to serve.
3. Quantify the current existing parking, access, and land use conditions in the area, including the current:
a. Public and private parking supply number of spaces
b. Number of parking spaces typically occupied at the identified peak for parking demand
c. Number of parking spaces typically available during the identified peak for parking demand.
4. Using city development data and the results of Phase 1, Task 3, project the following for a determined year
not more than ten years in the future:
a. Public and private parking supply number of spaces
b. Additional parking needs from new development over the ten-year period.
c. Number of parking spaces typically occupied at the identified peak for parking demand
d. Number of parking spaces typically available during the identified peak for parking demand
WALKER 18
WALKER one
5. Identify the future parking shortfall.
6. Work with city staff to identify and agree on the parking or other transportation mitigation measures to
address the parking shortfall, which may include the construction of surface and structured parking or the
leasing of existing downtown private spaces, if agreed to by property owners.
7. Determine current existing funds or projection of ROM future funding sources that may be available, up to
two additional sources of funds.
8. Calculate the costs of mitigation measures, whether capital or operational and programmatic improvements,
which may include:
a. Land costs
b. Construction costs
c. Operations costs
d. Maintenance costs
9. Allocate the costs of mitigation measures across new development and parking requirements. Determine
whether a lump sum, annual, or monthly fee, or combination thereof, is appropriate and realistic from a city
staffing perspective.
10. Review parking in lieu fee rates at four comparable cities and city programs.
11. Propose a revised parking in lieu fee.
12. Assumes up to two public meetings to discuss in lieu fee program price, structure, and preferences with
businesses, landowners, and residents.
13. Prepare an economic model that can pay for public parking infrastructure that considers the probable
estimate of cost for the construction of any proposed parking facilities and alternatives, including City -owned
Village parking lots and other vacant City -owned sites.
Walker intends to provide an analysis and calculations sufficient for the justification of changes to the in lieu fee
program. However, the level of study and due diligence needed for satisfaction of the conditions of the mitigation
fee act are likely more than the city requires and more costly as well. While we successfully perform such studies
we respectfully suggest that is not necessary in this case, but we are happy to have a detailed study with the city
as may be helpful.

ADDENDUM TO AGREEMENT
Re: Scope of Services
If the Scope of Services include construction, alteration, demolition, installation,
repair, or maintenance affecting real property or structures or improvements of any kind
appurtenant to real property, the following apply:
1. Prevailing Wage Compliance. If Contracting Party is a contractor
performing public works and maintenance projects, as described in this Section 1.3,
Contracting Party shall comply with applicable Federal, State, and local laws. Contracting
Party is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Sections 1720, et seq., and
1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Sections 16000, et seq.,
(collectively, the "Prevailing Wage Laws"), and La Quinta Municipal Code
Section 3.12.040, which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the
performance of other requirements on "Public works" and "Maintenance" projects. If the
Services are being performed as part of an applicable "Public works" or "Maintenance"
project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if construction work over twenty-
five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) and/or alterations, demolition, repair or maintenance
work over fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00) is entered into or extended on or after
January 1, 2015 by this Agreement, Contracting Party agrees to fully comply with such
Prevailing Wage Laws including, but not limited to, requirements related to the
maintenance of payroll records and the employment of apprentices. Pursuant to
California Labor Code Section 1725.5, no contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a
contract for public work on a "Public works" project unless registered with the California
Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR") at the time the contract is awarded. If the
Services are being performed as part of an applicable "Public works" or "Maintenance"
project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, this project is subject to compliance
monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. Contracting Party will maintain and will require
all subcontractors to maintain valid and current DIR Public Works contractor registration
during the term of this Agreement. Contracting Party shall notify City in writing
immediately, and in no case more than twenty-four (24) hours, after receiving any
information that Contracting Party's or any of its subcontractor's DIR registration status
has been suspended, revoked, expired, or otherwise changed. It is understood that it is
the responsibility of Contracting Party to determine the correct salary scale. Contracting
Party shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft,
classification, or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested
parties upon request, and shall post copies at Contracting Party's principal place of
business and at the project site, if any. The statutory penalties for failure to pay prevailing
wage or to comply with State wage and hour laws will be enforced. Contracting Party
must forfeit to City TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS ($25.00) per day for each worker who
works in excess of the minimum working hours when Contracting Party does not pay
overtime. In accordance with the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1810 et seq., eight
(8) hours is the legal working day. Contracting Party also shall comply with State law
requirements to maintain payroll records and shall provide for certified records and
inspection of records as required by California Labor Code Section 1770 et seq., including
Section 1776. In addition to the other indemnities provided under this Agreement,
Contracting Party shall defend (with counsel selected by City), indemnify, and hold City,
Exhibit A
Page 1 of 3
its elected officials, officers, employees, and agents free and harmless from any claim or
liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage
Laws. It is agreed by the parties that, in connection with performance of the Services,
including, without limitation, any and all "Public works" (as defined by the Prevailing Wage
Laws), Contracting Party shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of prevailing
wages under California law and/or the implementation of Labor Code Section 1781, as
the same may be amended from time to time, and/or any other similar law. Contracting
Party acknowledges and agrees that it shall be independently responsible for reviewing
the applicable laws and regulations and effectuating compliance with such laws.
Contracting Party shall require the same of all subcontractors.
2. Retention. Payments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
Article 2.0 of the Agreement. In accordance with said Sections, City shall pay Contracting
Party a sum based upon ninety-five percent (95%) of the Contract Sum apportionment of
the labor and materials incorporated into the Services under this Agreement during the
month covered by said invoice. The remaining five percent (5%) thereof shall be retained
as performance security to be paid to Contracting Party within sixty (60) days after final
acceptance of the Services by the City Council of City, after Contracting Party has
furnished City with a full release of all undisputed payments under this Agreement, if
required by City. In the event there are any claims specifically excluded by Contracting
Party from the operation of the release, City may retain proceeds (per Public Contract
Code § 7107) of up to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount in dispute. City's
failure to deduct or withhold shall not affect Contracting Party's obligations under the
Agreement.
3. Utility Relocation. City is responsible for removal, relocation, or protection
of existing main or trunk -line utilities to the extent such utilities were not identified in the
invitation for bids or specifications. City shall reimburse Contracting Party for any costs
incurred in locating, repairing damage not caused by Contracting Party, and removing or
relocating such unidentified utility facilities. Contracting Party shall not be assessed
liquidated damages for delay arising from the removal or relocation of such unidentified
utility facilities.
4. Trenches or Excavations. Pursuant to California Public Contract Code
Section 7104, in the event the work included in this Agreement requires excavations more
than four (4) feet in depth, the following shall apply:
(a) Contracting Party shall promptly, and before the following conditions
are disturbed, notify City, in writing, of any: (1) material that Contracting Party believes
may be material that is hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and
Safety Code, that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II, or Class III disposal site
in accordance with provisions of existing law; (2) subsurface or latent physical conditions
at the site different from those indicated by information about the site made available to
bidders prior to the deadline for submitting bids; or (3) unknown physical conditions at the
site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and
generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in the Agreement.
Exhibit A
Page 2 of 3
(b) City shall promptly investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the
conditions do materially so differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease
or increase in Contracting Party's cost of, or the time required for, performance of any
part of the work shall issue a change order per Section 1.8 of the Agreement.
(c) in the event that a dispute arises between City and Contracting Party
whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease
or increase in Contracting Party's cost of, or time required for, performance of any part of
the work, Contracting Party shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date
provided for by this Agreement, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under this
Agreement. Contracting Party shall retain any and all rights provided either by contract
or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting
Parties.
5. Safety. Contracting Party shall execute and maintain its work so as to avoid
injury or damage to any person or property. In carrying out the Services, Contracting
Party shall at all times be in compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws,
rules and regulations, and shall exercise all necessary precautions for the safety of
employees appropriate to the nature of the work and the conditions under which the work
is to be performed. Safety precautions as applicable shall include, but shall not be limited
to: (A) adequate life protection and lifesaving equipment and procedures; (B) instructions
in accident prevention for all employees and subcontractors, such as safe walkways,
scaffolds, fall protection ladders, bridges, gang planks, confined space procedures,
trenching and shoring, equipment and other safety devices, equipment and wearing
apparel as are necessary or lawfully required to prevent accidents or injuries; and
(C) adequate facilities for the proper inspection and maintenance of all safety measures.
6. Liquidated Damages. Since the determination of actual damages for any
delay in performance of the Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to
determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, Contracting Party shall be liable for
and shall pay to City the sum of One Thousand dollars ($1,000.00) as liquidated damages
for each working day of delay in the performance of any of the Services required
hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance. In addition, liquidated damages
may be assessed for failure to comply with the emergency call out requirements, if any,
described in the Scope of Services. City may withhold from any moneys payable on
account of the Services performed by Contracting Party any accrued liquidated damages.

extent and within the time herein required, City may, at its sole option:

Exhibit E
Page 3 of 6
property resulting from Contracting Party's or its subcontractors' performance of work
under this Agreement.
E.3 General Conditions Pertaining to Provisions of Insurance Coverage by
Contracting Party. Contracting Party and City agree to the following with respect to
insurance provided by Contracting Party:
1. Contracting Party agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general
liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials,
employees, and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition
prior to 1992. Contracting Party also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors
to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall
prohibit Contracting Party, or Contracting Party's employees, or agents, from waiving the
right of subrogation prior to a loss. Contracting Party agrees to waive subrogation rights
against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all
contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contracting Party and
available or applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the
policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to City or
its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first
submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve
to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily
injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification
and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contracting Party shall not
make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or
reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written
consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of
certificates of insurance evidencing all the coverages required and an additional insured
endorsement to Contracting Party's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or
prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not
delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no
replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any
insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement
and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly
paid by Contracting Party or deducted from sums due Contracting Party, at City option.
Exhibit E
Page 4 of 6
8. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance
coverage required to be provided by Contracting Party or any subcontractor, is intended
to apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance
or self-insurance available to City.
9. Contracting Party agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party
involved with the project that is brought onto or involved in the project by Contracting
Party, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contracting Party.
Contracting Party agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all
responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the
requirements of this section. Contracting Party agrees that upon request, all agreements
with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
10. Contracting Party agrees not to self -insure or to use any self -insured
retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein (with the
exception of professional liability coverage, if required) and further agrees that it will not
allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any
way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement
to self -insure its obligations to City. If Contracting Party's existing coverage includes a
deductible or self -insured retention, the deductible or self -insured retention must be
declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Contracting Party,
which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self -insured retention,
substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
11. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to
change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contracting Party
ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in
substantial additional cost to the Contracting Party, the City will negotiate additional
compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
12. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be
deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that
can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
13. Contracting Party acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged
failure on the part of City to inform Contracting Party of non-compliance with any
insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it
waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
14. Contracting Party will renew the required coverage annually as long as City,
or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this
agreement. This obligation applies whether the agreement is canceled or terminated for
any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written
statement to that effect.
15. Contracting Party shall provide proof that policies of insurance required
herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with
Exhibit E
Page 5 of 6
other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been
ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from
Contracting Party's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance
and an additional insured endorsement is required in these specifications applicable to
the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five (5) days of the
expiration of coverages.
16. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Contracting Party under this agreement. Contracting Party expressly
agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City,
its employees, officials, and agents.
17. Requirements of specific coverage features, or limits contained in this
section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a
waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a
given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue
and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
18. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from
any other provision in this Agreement and are intended by the parties here to be
interpreted as such.
19. The requirements in this Exhibit supersede all other sections and provisions
of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs
the provisions of this Exhibit.
20. Contracting Party agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract
used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City
or Contracting Party for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this
agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the
intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these
requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other
amounts with respect thereto.
21. Contracting Party agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim
or loss against Contracting Party arising out of the work performed under this agreement.
City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty)
to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Village Build -Out Plan Area (Village Area) is the City's "downtown" mixed -use area and
with the recent approval of several developments and new proposed developments on the
horizon, staff has determined that an updated parking study should be prepared to evaluate
parking adequacy in regard to current and future demand and evaluate the City's In -Lieu
Parking Program.
The Village Area includes the Village Commercial zoning district in addition to the City Hall
campus and La Quinta Village Shopping Center (Attachment 1) and was established to
promote development and redevelopment of the Village Area by providing development
standards that encourage the implementation of mixed -use projects, pedestrian scale
development and connectivity, and economic growth as stated in La Quinta Municipal Code
(LQMC) Section 9.70.110 — Village Build -Out Plan Area.
In 2006, a comprehensive parking study was prepared with several short-term and long-
term recommendations to accommodate parking within the Village.
In 2016, Build -out assumptions were established and adopted into the LQMC and
accounted for in an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared under Environmental
Assessment 2016-0012 for the Village Area to allow for future development intensity and
streamline the development review process. These assumptions include several scenarios
in different areas of the Village: 1) new dwelling units will be developed over commercial
uses in multi -story buildings, 2) existing dwelling units will remain in place, and 3) some
existing nonresidential buildings will be replaced with new buildings. As part of the Build -
Out Plan, to help facilitate development, parking standards were adopted that allowed for
alternative methods for provision of parking spaces, including an allowance of a 50%
reduction, shared parking agreement with another property, contribution to the in -lieu fee
program, or other variation of the parking standard approved by the director. Staff has
monitored the parking within the Village Area and noted that there has been an increase in
parking being used in peak times.
Development that has occurred over the last three to five years in the Village includes:
• McQuaid Art Studio and Apartments: Mixed use development with art studio, gallery,
and six apartments
• Barcelona Club Apartments: Residential development with 16 apartments
• Village Hospitality Homes: Four tourist homes solely for transient occupancy
• Calle Estado Mixed Use Development: Mixed use development with retail on bottom
floor and six apartments above
• Addition of the Starbucks building and increased occupancy in the La Quinta Village
Shopping Center
Several new developments have been approved with reductions in their parking
requirements per the alternative methods included in the LQMC. With the recent approval
of these developments and newly proposed developments on the horizon, including the
City's proposed Cultural Campus, staff determined that an updated parking analysis should
be prepared for the Village Area to evaluate parking adequacy in regard to current and
future demand.
38
In August 2025, the City published a RFP for professional services related to the
preparation of the Parking Study and received 4 proposals. Walker Consultants was
selected as the most qualified firm to complete the Parking Study and Staff seeks approval
for a 1-year agreement, with an option to extend for an additional 6 months.
The first phase of the project will involve a comprehensive analysis of existing parking
conditions, including an inventory of available facilities and an evaluation of both vehicle
and pedestrian circulation patterns. Considering those results, the second phase of the
project will provide a recommended parking development and management strategy for
current and anticipated future needs, citing a practical infrastructure solution while
remaining sensitive to the Village theme and needs of local businesses. This phase will
also include an analysis of the City's In -Lieu Fee Parking Program. The third phase
consists of the compilation of the findings into a report and presentation to Council.
