TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council through City Manager
FROM:Dan, F,ASCE — Director, Public Works & Utilities
Jason eatP.E. — Assistant Director, Public Works & Utilities
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services
Agreement with Wood Environment and Infrastructure Solutions, Inc., for
Consulting Services for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Local
Hazard Mitigation Program Grant
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution Authorizing the City
Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement with Wood Environment and
Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. for Consulting Services for the Federal Emergency Management
Agency's Local Hazard Mitigation Program Grant.
BACKGROUND
Congress passed the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to focus on hazard mitigation before
disasters occur, such as earthquakes, fires, and floods. The goal was to encourage local and state
governments to develop plans and undertake projects to mitigate the impact of natural disasters
before they happen. To accomplish this the legislation requires that all local and state
governments adopt a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) to be eligible for the maximum cost
recovery for emergency response and for future mitigation project funding awarded through
State and Federal grant programs.
Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) guidelines require the LHMP to be updated
every five years to comply with Section 322 of the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. At
the City Council meeting in March 2012, Council approved joining and annexing the Association
of Bay Area Governments' region -wide plan As an efficient method to meet this FEMA
requirement. However, in 2016 FEMA changed the rules and requires each agency to prepare
their own LHMP. FEMA provides grant funding to be used for preparation of a LHMP and
Council accepted a $60,000 grant in 2017. The State of California Governor's Office of
Emergency Services (CalOES) is the State department overseeing the grant and LHMP process.
DISCUSSION
The LHMP will identify risks posed by natural and manmade disasters, and propose best
practices and mitigation projects to reduce potential damage from those disasters. Risk analysis
will focus on potential impacts of earthquakes, wildfires, droughts, landslides, and floods while
mitigation measures will address damage prevention, property protection, public education and
awareness, natural resource protection, emergency response services, and improved management
practices for structural projects.
A Request for Proposals was circulated for consulting services to prepare a LHMP. Four
responses were, received and ranked. Wood Environment and Instrastructure Solutions, Inc.
(Wood Environmental), an international corporation with offices located in Rancho Cordova,
CA, provided a highly -ranked and high-quality response to the Scope of Services included in the
Request for Proposal and committed to a not -to -exceed amount that is within the project budget.
Wood Environmental has provided similar services to cities within California and Sonoma
County.
It is recommended that the subject Professional Services Agreement be awarded to Wood
Environmental to allow the draft final plan to be completed within the current FEMA grant
period that extends until August 30, 2019.
The proposed action meets Council Goal: "Plan and deliver capital improvements."
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The award of a contract to Wood Environmental for $60,000 is within the approved funding for
this project, which includes a $60,000 CalOES Pre -Disaster Mitigation Program Grant and
$20,000 from Public Works cost center (1100. 16100.54140) for administration costs.

and indemnity by the City, unless the time for responding has been extended by an
authorized representative of the City in writing. If the Contractor fails to accept tender of

acceptance of tender, Contractor agrees to fully reimburse all costs, including but not

time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Services include design professional
services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8, as may be amended from time

Task Element 1: Planning, Resource
Planning CDevelopPlanning
Wood will work with City staff to develop a list of Planning Team members (including members involved in the
previous Planning Team for the current MJHMP) and schedule a project kick-off meeting. As part of this phase,
Wood will also prepare a schedule for the completion of the LHMP, as well as a Community Outreach Strategy.
The Community Outreach Strategy will identify community partners and stakeholders, such as City departments,
utility providers, and local disaster relief organizations that should be involved in the planning process. The
strategy would be reviewed by the HMPC and include at least one public workshop during plan development to
engage residents and stakeholders about disaster planning and inform them about the planning process.
Wood will prepare for and facilitate Planning Team Session #1, a half-day workshop. Ms. Juliana Prosperi will
attend this meeting in-person and Mr. Jeff Brislawn will attend via teleconference. The meeting will be utilized to
detail the DMA hazard mitigation planning requirements, present the overall scope of services, detail the work
requirements of the Planning Team, and establish a detailed project schedule. A plan for public involvement
(Planning Step 2) and coordination with other agencies and departments (Planning Step 3) will be discussed at
this meeting. Wood will summarize the risk assessment process and detail the data requirements for the LHMP.
Wood will provide a data collection guide to each of the Planning Team members to assist in collection of
required data. Wood will collect additional relevant background documents, such as City General Plans and other
plans, if applicable (e.g., City of Petaluma General Plan 2025), and Emergency Operations Plans, Flood
Management Plans, Flood Insurance Studies, and Stormwater Drainage Plans, that are publicly available or those
that the City has available; this data will inform the Capabilities Assessment. To the extent possible we will make
best use of the current MJHMP in the ABAG format.
Deliverables
• Preliminary project coordination with City
• Distribution of Draft Project Execution Plan and Schedule
• Assistance with the formation of the Planning Team
• Planning Team Contact List
• Planning Team Session #1
• Presentation on Hazard Mitigation Planning Process at Planning Team Session #1
• Prepare and distribute the Data Collection Guide
Planning Step 2: Public Outreach and Contact Coordination
As part of Planning Team Session #1, conducted in Planning Step 1, Wood will work with the Planning Team on
how to effectively meet the planning requirements for public involvement. This may include inviting public
stakeholders to serve on the Planning Team or publicizing the activities of the Planning Team through the City
website and through press releases to local media outlets (e.g., newspapers, radio, and television). Wood and the
City Project Manager will also work through the existing external affairs program (e.g., City Manager's Office) to
provide outreach support to set up meeting dates for workshops.
The City will organize the first public workshop and Wood will assist in the preparation of the public workshop, as
well as help facilitate the workshop (as noted in Phase 5). Wood will also assist the City with its public involvement
efforts by drafting proposed text for these public notices, press releases and website postings. We will take full
advantage of the City's existing community involvement and public notification mechanisms. The City Project
Manager and External Affairs Officer will be responsible for coordinating the release of all press releases, website
postings, and other public outreach efforts. We will also prepare an Online Public Survey for the City to distribute
and post on the City's website to encourage further participation.
Deliverables
® Assist in the identification of public involvement activities
® Draft text for press releases and websites
Assist City in preparation for Public Workshop #1
Attendance at one (1) Public Workshop and assistance facilitating during public input and comment
® Compile input from the incorporation of public comment and potential changes for the LHMP
Preparation and organization of an Online Public Survey
Planning Step : Coordinate with Other Departments and Agencies
DMA regulations require that the planning process is coordinated with other stakeholders and agencies.
Representatives from City departments and local, state, and federal agencies may be asked to join the Planning
Team or to provide data and input during the planning process. Coordination with other City departments and
local agencies may include the fire, police, public works, building and safety, and planning departments.
Coordination with local agencies may include Sonoma County, Sonoma County Water Agency, and ABAG.
Coordination with state and federal agencies may include: Cal OES, California Geological Survey, California
Department of Water Resources, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CaIFIRE), California
Department of Transportation, FEMA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Weather
Service, US Forest Service, and other appropriate regional agencies to be identified early in the planning process.
In addition, Wood will coordinate this effort with existing City plans and studies, which may include Capital
Improvements, Operational Plans, and growth projections.
Deliverables:
Identify and invite agencies to participate on Planning Team, and/or to provide data as necessary

Planning Step 4: Identify the Hazards
Wood will prepare the Risk Assessment, the first step of which is Hazard Identification — identifying and profiling
hazard events that present a threat to the City. The planning effort will identify natural, man-made, and climate -
related hazards and will prioritize them by significance. As part of the plan development process, the Planning
Team will then review the list of hazards during Planning Team Meeting #2 (Planning Step 5). Natural hazards
evaluated will include, but not be limited to, dam failure, drought and water storage, earthquake, 100/500 -year
flooding and localized stormwater flooding, severe weather (extreme heat, heavy rains and storms, tornadoes,
wind), soil hazards (erosion, expansive soils, landslides and debris flows, subsidence), wildfires, and others that
may be considered significant by the City. Man-made and technological hazards will include hazardous material
releases or spills, pipeline or storage tank failures, transportation and aircraft failures, and other human -caused
hazards. A review and consideration of the hazards contained in the 2018 Draft California State Enhanced Multi -
Hazard Mitigation Plan (SHMP) (under public review) will be evaluated for inclusion in this LHMP. We will also
review and consider the priority hazards summarized in the 2016 Sonoma County Operational Area Hazard
Mitigation Plan.
As part of the Hazard Identification, Wood will collect information about past hazard events. This will take place
on and off-site, and will include an Internet, newspaper, and literature search for data related to historic events,
N
and an inventory and review of the City and County's (if needed) existing Geographic Information System (GIS)
data layers, and existing plans (e.g., Safety Element of General Plan). This assessment will also include collecting
detailed information on impacts from California's multi-year drought on the City's facilities, as well as earthquake,
wildfires, flooding, and erosion and sedimentation potential in the City's watersheds. The Project Team staff will
collect data that describes:
® Natural and man-made hazards posing a risk to City;
® Geographic location and extent of hazards;
• The history of these hazards; previous occurrences;
• Speed of onset/duration of the hazard;
® Severity of the hazard;
• The likelihood that these hazards will occur in the future (probability of future events); and
• The frequency and recurrence interval that they occur.
The hazards will be prioritized by the Planning Team based on historical data, potential damage to critical
infrastructure, potential loss estimates, occurrence data, and funding and mitigation abilities. The summary of
each hazard profile and its impact on the community will be prepared in accordance with 44 CFR 201.6(c)(2)(ii).
Our data collection efforts will be focused on using existing data, as described in the DMA regulations. Data
limitations and gaps will also be identified during this process. These limitations may be considered as
recommendations in the mitigation strategy part of the plan. This step will also involve the development of a GIS
geodatabase, if necessary.
Deliverables
• Compile data on City capabilities to reduce disaster losses
® Collect the Hazard Identification Data
® Compile/analyze the data and draft the "Hazard Identification" portion of the LHMP
• Maps prepared in ArcGIS and related files
Pennon to : Assess the Risks
Following identification of hazards in Step 4, Wood will complete the Risk Assessment by preparing a Vulnerability
Assessment and a Capability Assessment as described below. Wood will work with City staff to use the best
available hazard and inventory data, including GIS data.
Vulnerability Assessment. Wood will determine the likely impacts the hazards identified in Planning Step 4
would have on the City. Wood will then prioritize potential hazards and risks to the people, economy, and the
City's built and natural environment. We will also develop an overall assessment of the City's vulnerability to and
potential impact of each identified hazard. Using planning documentation, FEMA hazard software (i.e., HAZUS),
and other resources we will compile an inventory of the types of buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities that
may be vulnerable to each hazard. This assessment will include the following, as feasible, in addition to the Level 2
assessments detailed below:
® Inventory on the number and types of vulnerable City facilities (e.g., buildings, infrastructure);
® Actual or assessed values of the vulnerable facilities;
• Repetitive losses to facilities, if any;
® Critical facilities at risk;
• Natural and cultural resources at risk;
® Growth and development trends; and
® An estimate of losses per hazard, where feasible.
We will also review existing studies, reports, and plans related to historical disasters; document disaster
declarations (from 2018 Draft SHMP); address NFIP insured structures and those repetitively damaged by floods;
and develop a parcel -level inventory of vulnerable structures,
3
Level 2 Vulnerability Assessment for Flood Hazards. Currently, the City of Petaluma has a Class 6 rating under
the CRS program. The proposed LHMP update provides an opportunity to improve the City's CRS rating and
enhance the City's floodplain management activities. For a Level 2 vulnerability assessment, Wood's GIS Specialists
will utilize FEMA's HAZUS, RiskMAP, and other software to develop an advanced assessment (i.e., Level 2
Vulnerability Assessment) for earthquake and flood hazards. This additional assessment will utilize GIS to develop
detailed flood loss estimation based on HAZUS for the City. The Level 2 assessment involves importing existing
GIS data on existing structures, based on a parcel level inventory into HAZUS. This includes occupancy mapping
(residential, commercial, industrial) and formatting attributes to be consistent for use in HAZUS. As part of this
effort, the following data will need to be collected and formatted:
Parcel boundaries and descriptive attributes including:
-- Date of construction
— Type of construction
— First floor elevation, or best approximation
— Square footage
— Number of stories
-- Basements
— Value of contents (FEMA accepted estimates, i.e., 50% of structure value for residential structures, will be
used in lieu of actual values)
— Structure footprints
— Topographic data (2 -foot contour or best available)
— Flood hazard boundaries
— Roads
Next, to enable the flood loss estimation the depth grids for 100- and 500 -year flood events will be imported into
HAZUS. For this effort, Wood staff will collect depth grids for 100- and 500 -year floods produced from existing
Hydrology and Hydraulics (H&H) models associated with Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs). Next, Wood
will conduct the flood loss estimations. A HAZUS study region will be built for the area of interest and HAZUS
flood loss analyses will be modelled for the 100- and 500 -year return periods.
Level 2 Vulnerability Assessment for Flood Hazards. Wood will conduct two HAZUS earthquake loss scenarios.
The first will be a 2,500 -year probabilistic event that represents a worst-case scenario. The second will be a
probabilistic scenario representative of a likely event based on the nearest potentially active fault, as
recommended by consultation with the California Geological Survey. Earthquake hazard, soils, and liquefaction
data will be imported, where available, into HAZUS to enhance the accuracy of the results. Deliverables will include
key reports from HAZUS similar to those outlined for the Level 2 vulnerability assessment for flood hazards. For
both assessments, all GIS -based data and mapping matches the City's coordinate control network.
Capability Assessment. As part of the Risk Assessment and as required by Cal OES, Wood will evaluate the City's
existing capabilities to mitigate risk and vulnerabilities from hazards. By collecting information about existing
programs, policies, regulations, and emergency plans, Wood can assess those activities and measures already in
place that contribute towards mitigating some of the vulnerabilities identified. Wood will work with the Planning
Team to identify and document all capabilities currently in place within the City that reduce disaster losses, or that
could be utilized to reduce losses in the future. Specifically, our staff will identify current authorities, programs,
staffing, and funding (or other resources) to accomplish mitigation and reduce vulnerability. We will also identify
and document existing infrastructure in place by collecting electronically available GIS data (e.g., shapefiles). We
will review and assess this information, identify any data gaps, and document whether the infrastructure positively
or negatively impacts the City's vulnerability to disaster.
For flood hazards, Wood will review and describe the City's participation in the NFIP and review the existing
floodplain management program (2010 City of Petaluma Floodplain Management Plan) and compliance with the
4
NFIP requirements. With a CRS Rating of 6, we understand it is the City's priority to plan for, reduce, and mitigate
flood hazards. With this information, our team, in coordination with City input will develop strategies to expand
existing policies and programs related to hazard mitigation.
Once complete, the Risk Assessment "paints a picture" of the potential disaster impacts. The information obtained
during this process details the "net vulnerability' of the area within the City's limits (i.e., vulnerability tempered by
existing capabilities), and it provides a platform for developing mitigation goals. In addition, this information
provides a baseline of what these likely impacts would cost, thus providing an estimate of the benefits of any
resulting mitigation actions. This provides added value to the LHMP by ensuring integration of the plan with
existing policies, procedures, and other plans and assists in the identification of additional mitigation strategies.
Following the assimilation, compilation, and analysis of the Vulnerability and Capability Assessment data, Wood
will provide the compiled Risk Assessment to the Planning Team for review and input during Planning Team
Session #2. Both Ms. Juliana Prosperi and Mr. Jeff Brislawn will attend the Planning Team Session #2, which is
proposed as an all -day workshop.
Deliverables:
® Vulnerability Assessment Inventories and Data
Prepare loss estimations, as appropriate
® Compile/analyze the data and prepare Preliminary Draft of Risk Assessment
Planning Team Session #2
® Presentation of Risk Assessment findings at Planning Team Session #2
® Level 2 Vulnerability Assessment for Flood and Earthquake Hazards: HAZUS-generated tables for the 100 -
and 500 -year return periods including the extraction of 5 key reports from HAZUS with conversion to Excel
and Word formats:
— Building Stock Dollar Exposure by Occupancy
— Building Damage by General Occupancy
-- Building Damage Count by General Occupancy
— Direct Economic Losses for Buildings
® Displaced Population/Shelter Requirements
— Maps of study area representing building damage expressed in economic loss and building damage by %
loss (8.5 x 11 layout) for internal purposes
T ask Element 3: Prepare the Local Hazard Mitigation Plar
Planning Step 6: Draft Goals
The Planning Team will use the Risk Assessment as a platform for drafting mitigation goals and objectives for the
LHMP. Goals provide a guide as to what should be done to improve the City's disaster resistance. Objectives
define strategies or implementation steps to attain the identified goals. The goals and objectives will reflect the
City's long-term vision to reduce the risk to people and property within the City's planning area and will focus on
enhancing overall mitigation capabilities. Goals and objectives from other City documents, as well as state plans,
such as the 2013 California SHMP (and 2018 Draft), will be analyzed to ensure consistency with existing programs.
This step will be accomplished during Planning Team Session #2.
Planning Step 7: Review Possible Activities
Wood will work with the Planning Team members to develop mitigation actions. The new actions will be
developed from reviewing the validity and status of other planning actions (e.g., General Plan 2025) and by
utilizing the Risk Assessment. At Planning Team Session #2 (second half of workshop), Wood will assist the
Planning Team in drafting potential mitigation actions to reduce the effects of priority hazards and to meet the
5
new goals and objectives. In developing mitigation alternatives to address the priority hazards within the planning
area, the team will adhere to the model of mitigation activities promoted by DMA, FEMA's CRS, and the FMA
program, which categorizes mitigation measures into the following six categories:
® Preventative Measures;
• Property Protection;
® Emergency Services Measures;
® Structural Projects;
® Natural Resource Protection; and
• Public Information Programs.
Wood will then provide the Planning Team with a set of criteria and review their potential for selecting and
prioritizing mitigation measures. FEMA recommends the STAPLE/E approach detailed below:
® Social acceptability;
® Technical feasibility;
® Administrative feasibility;
® Political acceptability;
® Legality;
• Economic feasibility (Availability of funding and cost effectiveness); and
® Environmentally sound.
The criteria will then be applied to select and prioritize mitigation activities that will reduce the vulnerability to the
destructive consequences of hazards within the planning area and to promote efficient recovery and
reconstruction when disasters do occur. For example, we will prioritize mitigation actions based on planning level
benefit -cost assessment information, and other evaluation criteria, such as life safety, property protection,
technical, political, legal, environmental, social, administrative, local champion, and other community objectives.
As appropriate, we will also prepare a cost estimate on a defined comparative cost scale as a basis to compare
and prioritize mitigation actions.
In Planning Team Session #2, each recommended action will have a responsible party identified and will include a
description of the risk reduction objectives addressed, the alternate measures considered but not selected, an
approximate benefit/cost estimate, and a description of possible funding sources. As necessary, we will ensure all
priority hazards have an identified mitigation action; we will also identify mitigation actions where there is no
current or planned funding mechanism.
As mitigation alternatives are finalized by the responsible parties, timelines for project completion, and
descriptions of those entities responsible for project implementation will be specified. Wood will also rely on other
planning documents and tools, such as FEMA's 2013 Mitigation Ideas. Additionally, our staff will work with the
Planning Team to develop an implementation plan with priorities, that includes identification and analysis of
possible grant and funding opportunities.
Deliverables:
® Planning Team Session #2 (Mitigation Strategy covered in 2nd half of workshop)
® Incorporate research and public input
® Prepare/Finalize Plan Goals and Objectives
• Development of mitigation alternatives based upon the identified risks, vulnerabilities, existing capabilities
and planning goals
® Presentation of criteria sets to use in developing a final list of agreed upon selected, prioritized, mitigation
alternatives for inclusion in the Plan
® Update on status of mitigation actions defined in City's current MJHMP (e.g., completed)
® Prepare a matrix that summarizes mitigation actions, priority, responsible parties, funding mechanisms,
0
benefit/cost, and technical feasibility
Completion of Mitigation Recommendation Forms by the HMPC
SubmittalTask Element 4: Plan oPlan Adoptior
PlanningI
Based on information collected during each of the tasks above, Wood will prepare the first draft of the LHMP. This
LHMP will be compliant with the DMA 2000 and Cal OES requirements. Once complete, the first draft will be
provided to the Planning Team members for review and comment via a SharePoint, Google Drive, or Dropbox site.
Wood will solicit comments from Planning Team and incorporate the comments into a second Public Review Draft
LHMP. This second draft, also transferred via the preferred online file sharing platform, will be circulated for public
review and comment and used by the City for the second Public Workshop.
Deliverables:
® Develop 151 Draft LHMP for HMPC review
® Develop 2nd Draft LHMP for Public Review
• Assist City in preparation for Public Workshop #2
® Attendance at second Public Workshop and assistance facilitating during public input and comment
Planning Ste : plan Submittal and Adoption
Based on feedback from the public meetings and comments received, Wood will develop and assemble a final
draft in digital and hard copy to submit to Cal OES and FEMA Region IX for preliminary review and approval. Any
public review comments will be incorporated into the LHMP Appendix.
This submittal will include a completed FEMA Plan Review Crosswalk, which includes completion of the Region IX
Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool that details how the plan meets the requirements of DMA 2000. Wood's
proposed approach suggests that the City request this preliminary review and interim approval from Cal OES and
FEMA prior to formal board adoption. Wood will work with the City to submit the final plan to the Cal OES State
Hazard Mitigation Officer (SHMO) for review.
Wood will incorporate comments from the Cal OES SHMO and submit a final draft LHMP through Cal OES to
FEMA for review and comment. We will then review and incorporate any comments from FEMA. Based on this
review, Wood will make requested changes to the plan and will provide a master electronic and hard copy of the
plan to the City to assist in adoption of the plan by the Petaluma City Council. Our team will assist the Planning
Team with final adoption procedures by the City of Petaluma City Council and incorporate the documentation for
local adoption into the Final LHMP. We will also assist the Planning Team in securing a final approval letter and
plan review tool from FEMA.
This task assumes two color hard copies of the LHMP will be provided by Wood: one (1) hard copy to be
submitted to Cal OES/FEMA and one (1) hard copy to be provided to City. Wood will also deliver the final plan
document electronically to the City in both Word and PDF formats.
Deliverables:
® Incorporate public comments into Plan, and develop Final Draft LHMP
® Complete Region IX Local Mitigation Plan Review Tool
® Submit LHMP for review and approval by Cal OES and FEMA Region IX
® Attend one (1) teleconference meeting with Cal OES SHMO
® Deliver Final LHMP in two (2) hard and one (1) electronic formats to City
® Assist City Planning Team in final adoption procedures and securing final FEMA approval letter
7
Planning Step 10- Implement, Evaluate, and Revise the Plan
In accordance with the requirements for DMA plans, Wood will develop a method and schedule for monitoring
and evaluating the LHMP. For example, the final plan will document the process for incorporating the plan into
other planning mechanisms, such as the City's Emergency Procedures Manual. The plan maintenance
requirements will include the following:
® A method and schedule of monitoring and evaluating the plan, which includes criteria used, responsible
office, and process for formal five-year update
• A process by which the plan will be incorporated into other existing planning mechanisms and requirements
® A schedule with procedures for ensuring the plan's implementation and update within five years
® A discussion of how the City will continue to involve the public in the plan maintenance and update process
These procedures, which include monitoring, evaluating, and updating the plan within a five-year cycle and
incorporating continued public and stakeholder involvement throughout the plan maintenance process, will be
modified as needed to improve the process for the next update cycle. The plan implementation section will
identify ways to incorporate mitigation strategies into existing planning practices, policies, and programs to
institutionalize hazard mitigation (e.g., next City General Plan Update). This process will be developed and
incorporated into the Draft and Final LHMP documents. The City is ultimately responsible for plan implementation
as well as for monitoring, evaluating, and updating the plan in accordance with the process outlined in the LHMP.
Deliverable:
Draft of implementation, evaluation, and monitoring process (e.g., included in LHMP)
Task Element : Project Management
Ms. Juliana Prosperi, AICP is Wood's assigned Project Manager for the City of Petaluma LHMP. Ms. Prosperi will
coordinate directly with the City's Project Manager and oversee the management of the entire project, and
administer all instructions from the Planning Team, Cal OES, and FEMA. Ms. Prosperi will also be available to
answer questions from the Planning Team, Cal OES, and FEMA during and after the work efforts outlined in this
scope of work. Specifically, Ms. Prosperi will:
® Develop and track a critical path schedule for the project, which will be updated monthly;
® Prepare monthly progress reports to be submitted with payment invoices (e.g., invoice transmittals)
describing work progress, percent of work complete, and percent of budget expended by task, and;
® Assist the City's Project Manager to prepare monthly progress reports and quarterly reports to be submitted
by Cal OES.
Wood will attend internal meetings with City staff, including a project kick-off meeting, monthly project
management team meetings, monthly Planning Team meetings (assumes a total of two Planning Team meetings),
and one close-out meeting. Ms. Prosperi will attend the project kick-off meeting in-person, and each subsequent
management meeting via teleconference. Ms. Prosperi will also attend two public workshops: one during the
