skill of the Consultant and any subcontractors to do and perform such services in

to release or diminish the liability of the Consultant, including, without
limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The

whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act
as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by the

shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of the Consultant,
its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of
the Consultant, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants,

in writing of any change to the information provided by the Consultant in

Agreement(s) and associated insurance documents for the subcontractor must be

effecting coverage required hereunder. All certificates and applicable endorsements

amending policy coverage shall be executed by a licensed and authorized agent or
broker. Upon request of the City, the Consultant shall immediately furnish City with a
complete copy of any insurance policy required under this Agreement, including all
endorsements, with said copy certified by the underwriter to be a true and correct copy of
the original policy. This requirement shall survive expiration or termination of this
Agreement.

Dear Ms. Pagoulatos,
We are pleased to submit our qualifications and proposal for the Kings Canyon Corridor TOD
Connectivity Plan. We have carefully selected a team of experts, well-suited to meet the needs
and expectations of this project. All team members have a long history of collaboration on similar
planning and design projects, including current work on TOD projects,such as the Transit Oriented
Development Overlay (TODO) for the City of National City, the City of San Diego's Complete
Communities Housing Solutions Program (which is a program of incentives to promote housing
in Transit Priority Areas of the city), and several community plans in the San Diego region that are
funded in large part by Smart Growth Incentive grants that implement TOD and state SCS programs.
Citythinkers will be the Lead Consultant,primary point of contact,and will administer the contract,
manage the consulting team, lead the outreach efforts with the EDC's and be responsible for day-
to-day communication and the final reports and plans. Citythinkers will also lead Task 5 - Station
Area Plan Development.
Keyser Marston Associates will lead the Market and Land Use Analysis and Financial Feasibility
Analysis. Citythinkers and KMA have a long history of collaboration on pro-forma development,
with Citythinkers providing detailed design scenarios for KMA to use as they run economic models.
Chabin Concepts is located in Chico, CA and does extensive work in the Central Valley. They help
cities and economic development agencies craft strategic economic development initiatives, or
best referred to as"Placed-based Strategies."They will supplement our team with outreach.
Chen Ryan Associates will support the team with Existing Conditions, Transit Benefits Evaluation,
and Cost Estimating.CRA has extensive experience not only in mobility planning and transportation
analysis,but also in helping cities and agencies develop sound policies and a body of research around
active transportation, parking, VMT analysis and TOD policy. As an added value and scope item,
CRA will also assist in developing high-level mobility concepts for TOD Station Area Templates and
provide a Transit Development Accessibility Performance Analysis to strengthen the link between
land use planing,development scenarios and transit plannning.
Together, we represent a lean and efficient team that offers the direct leadership and expertise
of our Principals. We are ready to start on this assignment right away and can work rapidly and
diligently to reduce your 22-month schedule to 12 to 16 months. We also have the know-how and
built-in working relationships to deliver on time and with added value to the budget. Most important,
we share the vision and excitement you have for the future of the Kings Canyon Corridor and thrive
on assignments that offer the opportunity for fresh and bold new ideas!
We look forward to hearing from you soon and to the opportunity to present our team.
With B t Regards,
Di go Velasco, AICP

KMA // West Sacramento Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District No.1
• The West Sacramento EIFD was formed on June 28, 2017, the first EIFD to be formed in the State of California. At approximately
4,150 acres, the EIFD encompasses a significant portion of the City of West Sacramento.The EIFD was formed to partially off-set
the loss of Redevelopment tax increment funding resulting from the dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies in 2012. The EIFD
is anticipated to assist in the development of approximately 12,000 new residential units and over 20 million square feet of
commercial and industrial development over the 45-year term of the EIFD.The EIFD is projected to generate$3.1 billion of property
tax increment to the District over the 45-year term,which will be used to fund a broad range of public infrastructure and facilities.
• KMA was retained by the City in 2015 to undertake an initial feasibility analysis of forming an EIFD.This entailed estimating the
tax increment that could potentially be generated and identifying target public facilities to be funded by the EIFD. Upon the
completion of the feasibility analysis, the City elected to go forward with forming the EIFD, which included requesting KMA to
prepare an Infrastructure Financing Plan (IFP).
