Re: Contract Amendment for the Lodi Electric Utility PEA Development
Dear Mr. Shahriar,
Since August 2019, Burns McDonnell has provided preliminary engineering design services and
environmental consultation to support Lodi Electric Utility in the development of PEA
documentation for the Northern San Joaquin 230kV Transmission project. During execution of this
project, changes to the CPUC process and deliverables have affected the approach and schedule for
this project. Most notably, the CPUC has increased the data and information required to submit a
PEA and added additional steps that have increased schedule and duration of activities.
The purpose of this proposal is to amend the contract to capture cost and schedule changes to the
project due to changes in the CPUC process, including anticipated support tasks to complete PEA
development and submittal in 2021.
Please feel free to contact me at (913) 522-3431 if you have any questions about our proposal. We
appreciate your consideration and look forward to continuing supporting you on this important
project.
Sincerely,

Joaquin 230kV Transmission PEA Development for Lodi Electric Utility. During execution of this
project, changes to the CPUC process and deliverables have affected the approach and schedule for
this project. Most notably, the CPUC has increased the data and information required to submit a

Project Approach
Overview
The City of Lodi Electric Utility (Lodi Electric Utility) is a local municipal utility that supplies
electricity to its customers. Lodi Electric Utility is a member of the Northern California Power Agency
(NCPA). Lodi Electric Utility is responsible for design and construction of a new, City -owned
230/60kV substation as a component of the Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) Northern San Joaquin
230kV Transmission Project, The preferred site was selected after a thorough siting and routing
assessment and is located at the intersection of E. Thurman Rd. and S. Guild Ave in Lodi, California.
The "site" is approximately 17 acres and is comprised of two parcels (APNs 4931009 and 4931008).
Surrounding uses include industrial operations such as agricultural processing facilities.
The new 230/60kV substation would be constructed adjacent to Lodi Electric Utility's existing
60/12kV Industrial Substation and the yet -to -be constructed PG&E switching station located on the
same parcel of land. Along with the new City of Lodi Substation, the Project also consists of
modifications to the existing Industrial Substation owned by Lodi Electric Utility. The Project will help
address the area's reliability needs by adding 230kV transmission lines from PG&E's existing
Lockeford Substation to a new 230kV switching station.
PG&E will be applying for a CPCN from CPUC, which has jurisdiction over the siting and routing of
electric transmission infrastructure in California. A component of the CPCN application is the PEA
which is being prepared by PG&E for the Project. Lodi Electric Utility will incorporate their portion of
the scope of the Project into PG&E's CPCN application. Therefore, Burns & McDonnell has been
requested by the utility to provide design and environmental analysis for their Project to be
incorporated into PG&E's PEA.

Melissa,
I remember this one well. What is the purpose of the amendment request? To add to the SOW additional work and the
cost therefor, or just add cost to the existing SOW? I note the executed Confirmation and corresponding PO provided
for a fixed fee with milestone payments for the work. Only the last milestone remains, i.e. submit final revised PEA,
payment being the remaining $22,929.00. Originally this work was estimated to progress into 2021, but it appears that
they have completed the work much more quickly since there remains only the last milestone to achieve. Depending on
your answer about the requested amendment, I'll be able to give you a firm response about the next steps. Please send
me whatever communication and/or documents you have received from Burns & McDonnell requesting an amendment.
Thank you,

Hi Linda,
Hope you're doing well. We currently have a contract through NCPA Shared Services with Burns & McDonnell and we
received an amendment request from them we would like to move forward with. What is the easiest way to go about
that? Do I submit a request to you with B&M's request/scope and just indicate it is an amendment to an existing
contract and you prepare a Revised Confirmation or is it a separate Amendment to the existing Confirmation? We need
to get this to our Council in December as B&M indicates they will run out of money on the existing contract by the end
of the year. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you!!

PEA development to accomplish the goals of the project. Burns & McDonnell is the right team to
provide the engineering design and environmental support for Lodi Electric Utility's project
effectively, on time, and on budget.
Our team brings the following advantages to Lodi Electric Utility for this project:
Existing Knowledge of the Northern San Joaquin 230kV Transmission Project - Burns &
McDonnell is currently supporting PG&E with the overall PEA application for this project
Extensive Experience with PEA Submissions in CA - Our engineering and environmental
professionals have worked on multiple PEA applications over the past decade
We Design with the Impact in Mind - Our engineers will work with the Lodi Electric Utility
team to engineer long-term solutions that are cost-effective
As you will see in our proposal, we have provided pricing for the various services and look forward to
discussing your needs to further define the services within the proposal. With the strength and
depth of our substation project engineering and environmental team, we are equipped to
successfully support Lodi Electric Utility and add value to the development of the PEA. Please feel

As a local electric utility, Lodi Electric Utility undertakes
projects to provide more reliable service to your
customers and the community. To successfully execute
and support the Northern San Joaquin 230kV
Transmission PEA Development, Lodi Electric Utility
needs the comprehensive team that intimately
understands the nuances of the CEGA process and can
develop innovative and constructible mitigation
strategies to minimize environmental impacts, schedule,
and costs.
Burns & McDonnell has been actively working and
supporting the Northern San Joaquin 230kV
Transmission PEA Development since its inception. We
have invested the time and resources in making sure the
PEA Development continues to full approval and is
prepared for successful execution of the next steps in the
project life -cycle and realizing the full benefits for your
community.

_ No ramp -up time, close coordination
Time is short and Lodi Electric Utility will rely on an all-inclusive team that knows and
understands this project can be completed on time. Our team has extensive experience
with the Northern San Joaquin 230kV Transmission Project, starting in late 2015. To
date, we have assisted PG&E with the PEA Development for this project, including a detailed initial
scoping process. Our team's experience to date with this project, coupled with our relationships with
PG&E and other project stakeholders, gives us a head start on this project to provide Lodi Electric
Utility with a holistic, closely -coordinated engineering support and PEA Development effort.

Our team is one of few who can perform all services from licensing
to engineering to construction, and everything in between. We are
also one of few teams with extensive licensing support experience for a variety of projects, having
BURNS;&HISDONNELL 0 Introduction
supported dozens of PEAS and hundreds of similar efforts across California and the country. This
experience gives us current, first-hand knowledge of the environmental permitting, planning,
construction, and restoration requirements affecting substation projects in California.
Burns & McDonnell has been involved in design aspects of the Northern San Joaquin 230kV
Transmission Project (formerly called the Lockeford-Lodi Project) for PG&E since 2016 and therefore
our team has a detailed understanding of the Project complexities and its affected communities.
Furthermore, our team includes key environmental staff who have experience working for PG&E and
preparing environmental documentation, including PEAS, for submittal to the CPUC. Our
environmental staff have served as in-house Project Managers for PG&E and have performed
environmental due diligence for hundreds of PG&E projects. As an integrated part of the overall
team, our environmental staff is highly experienced at coordinating with our engineering colleagues
to gather the information we need for our analyses.
Through these projects and others, we have built solid working relationships with the CPUC and
other California regulatory agencies, improving agency responsiveness, facilitating the environmental
review process, and providing credibility when interpreting construction compliance with
environmental standards. With an understanding of CPUC requirements - and using our depth of
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) experience at the firm - Burns & McDonnell can help
Lodi Electric Utility complete the project approval process and produce value -add deliverables for
the PEA and Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) Application.
We Design with the Impact in Mind
All angles are covered with long-term, and cost-effective solutions
The goal of this project is to develop a constructible substation scope that will minimize
CPUC data requests and, therefore, time and money. Because our substation and
transmission engineering teams are involved on these projects now, we will develop
legally defensible PEA documentation that will be effective during the CPUC licensing process, but
also constructible in the end. We don't just create a "band-aid solution" to obtain a PEA; we do it
right the first time and propose long-term solutions that are cost-effective. Our goal is to work for
the benefit of Lodi Electric Utility, continually assessing and correcting the approach as needed, and
in the end, offer the Lodi Electric Utility actual cost savings over the life of the project execution —
not just during the design phase.
The following proposal presents our approach and capabilities to execute the Lodi Electric Utility's
portion of the PEA development for the Northern San Joaquin 230kV Transmission project. We
welcome the opportunity to present our capabilities to Lodi Electric Utility and further expand upon
our proposal and services included.
SURNS.M SOON NELL. 0 Introduction
Project Approach
Overview
The City of Lodi Electric Utility (Lodi Electric Utility) is a local municipal utility that supplies
electricity to its customers. Lodi Electric Utility is a member of the Northern California Power Agency
(NCPA). We understand that Lodi Electric Utility is responsible for design and construction of a new,
City -owned 230/6OkV substation as a component of the Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) Northern San
Joaquin 230kV Transmission Project. The preferred site was selected after a thorough siting and
routing assessment and is located at the intersection of E. Thurman Rd. and S. Guild Ave in Lodi,
California. The "site" is approximately 17 acres and is comprised of two parcels (APNs 4931009 and
4931008). Surrounding uses include industrial operations such as agricultural processing facilities.
The new 230/6OkV substation would be constructed adjacent to Lodi Electric Utility's existing
60/12kV Industrial Substation and the yet -to -be constructed PG&E switching station located on the
same parcel of land. Along with the new City of Lodi Substation, the Project also consists of
modifications to the existing Industrial Substation owned by Lodi Electric Utility. The Project will help
address the area's reliability needs by adding a double -circuit 230kV transmission line from PG&E's
existing Lockeford Substation to a new 230kV switching station.
It is our understanding that PG&E will be applying for a CPCN from CPUC, which has jurisdiction over
the siting and routing of electric transmission infrastructure in California. A component of the CPCN
application is the PEA which is being prepared by PG&E for the Project. Lodi Electric Utility will
incorporate their portion of the scope of the Project into PG&E's CPCN application. Therefore, Burns
& McDonnell has been requested by the utility to provide design and environmental analysis for their
Project to be incorporated into PG&E's PEA, The Burns & McDonnell team proposes to provide most
of the necessary services in-house for maximum efficiency and efficacy. This approach allows the
Project to proceed efficiently with an in-house team of designers and environmental professionals
without additional contracting delays and clear separation of costs for preparation of PEA analysis
and supporting technical studies.
The scope of this proposal is to support Lodi Electric Utility's PEA filing with the CPUC for the
Northern San Joaquin 230kV Transmission project.

Environmental Support
Task 1: PEA Development (Phase 1)
Task l.a: Project Initiation
Our Environmental Task Leader will conduct a Project initiation meeting to review goals and
objectives, organization chart, policies and procedures, budget, overall schedule, and quality
assurance procedures. As part of the overall management of this Project, our team will prepare a
Project Description checklist, as a value-added benefit to increase efficiencies. The Project
Description checklist will aid Lodi Electric Utility staff in the preparation of a complete Project
Description rather than piecing information together through multiple rounds of review.
Task l.b: Preliminary Due Diligence
A preliminary review of existing environmental data will be conducted to evaluate the presence of
critical resources and identify potential fatal flaws that could result from development of the Project.
In this task, Burns & McDonnell will perform a CEQA preliminary review through a high-level, desktop
evaluation of the proposed sites using GIS research and publicly available information and reports.
The biological assessment will help identify mitigation requirements and solutions based on Federal
and State waters and species regulations.
Suggested GIS layers for this phase of preliminary review include, but are not limited to, the
following:
► FEMA floodplains
► Government lands
► Wetlands, surface water, vernal pools and floodplains
► Biological assessment (sensitive species, wildlife areas, etc.)
Note: Includes queries of species occurrences from the CDFW California Natural Diversity Database
(CNDDB) and the CNPS Online Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants for relevant sensitive
species data, and CDFW/USFWS databases for species critical habitat units and corridors.
► Cultural restrictions
► FMMP/Williamson Act
► Geology
► Review of soils and/or geotechnical data (if available)
Note: It's Burns & McDonnell's understanding that a separate geotechnical report specific to the
Project may be conducted separately from this scope of work. If geotechnical reports (and/or
borings) are not available, recommendations will be made based on publicly available data and
industry experience at the site as to the criticality of borings at this phase of the Project. If required,
Burns & McDonnell will support in obtaining geotechnical data separately from this proposal.
► Terrain/slope/access/topography
► Local zoning/General plan compatibility
BURNS,MSDONNELL. 0 Project Approach
► Land availability, existing use, and ownership type
► Visual resources
► Proximity to receptors (noise, visual, odors, fugitive dust, etc.)
► Land use and recreational resources
► Environmental data resources report and radius map
► Transport and site access
► Applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and standards
The data gathered in this step from the desktop constraints analysis review will yield information for
use by our team towards development of the PEA. This enables a head start on the PEA while the
Project Description is taking shape, thereby minimizing the sequential link between the two activities.
Throughout the evaluation, if any fatal flaws are identified at this early stage, these will be brought to
the attention of Lodi Electric Utility as soon as practicable.
Task ].c: Project Description Development
To write PEA Chapters 2 and 3 and to properly evaluate certain specific resources such as air,
biological resources, noise, and visual resources, the Project team must agree to a Project
Description. Our environmental lead will work diligently with other team leads to develop consensus
on a Project Description as soon as possible. It is recognized that these details may change
somewhat as design progresses, but it will be important for our environmental team to have a firm
Project Description to appropriately conduct technical studies and kick-off preparation of the PEA
chapters. Generally, a 30% design is the appropriate design completion target for this stage of the
Project.
Task 2: Technical Studies
Burns & McDonnell understands that PG&E may provide supporting technical studies for the parcels
of land, or adjacent parcels of land, and that Lodi Electric Utility may be able to use such supporting
studies to prepare certain analyses. However, it is not known at this time which studies will be made
available, if any. Therefore, we have prepared optional scope/cost estimates for the technical areas
below which we anticipate will be required to support development of the PEA. Each technical
report will describe the affected environment (Existing Setting); the applicable laws, ordinances, and
regulations (LORS), the environmental impacts and consequences of the Project, and potential
mitigation measures (consistent with PG&E/Lodi Electric Utility mitigation guidance). We assume
that PG&E will prepare any relevant alternatives and cumulative impact assessments for the entirety
of the Project.
Task 2.a: Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Calculations
The Burns & McDonnell team will prepare an Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas letter report or memo
for the Project in accordance with the procedures and requirements of the City and the relevant Air
Pollution Control District (APCD). Air quality impacts resulting from construction will be calculated.
Dust emissions and exhaust from worker commutes and equipment travel contribute to
construction -related emissions. This report would include baseline air quality conditions, short-term
construction air pollutant emissions, consistency analysis with the applicable APCD requirements and
regional air quality strategy (if applicable), and greenhouse gases analysis. Emissions will be
BURNSI*MSDONNELL 0 Project Approach
calculated with the CalEEMod air quality model. The report would include the modeling results,
significance determinations and minimization measures (if any) as an appendix to the PEA
document.
Task 2.b: Noise Assessment
The Burns & McDonnell team will prepare a technical noise impact analysis consistent with local City
requirements and noise standards to identify construction and operational noise impacts of the
Project and adjacent noise sensitive land uses,
► Construction Noise Assessment
o Noise impacts from construction sources will be analyzed based on the equipment
expected to be used, length of a specific construction task, equipment power type
(gasoline or diesel engine), horsepower, load factor, and percent of time in use. The
construction noise impact will be evaluated in terms of maximum levels (Lmax) and
the frequency of occurrence at adjacent sensitive locations. Analysis requirements will
be based on the sensitivity of the area and the Noise Ordinance specifications of the
City. Noise abatement measures designed to reduce short-term impacts to acceptable
noise levels in the vicinity of the Project site will be determined where necessary.
► Long-term Operational Noise Assessment
o The City of Lodi has a noise ordinance that limits sound levels to a 5 -dB increase over
ambient levels during nighttime hours at residential property lines. Because of this,
Burns & McDonnell sound specialists will spend one day and one night in the vicinity of
the site taking sound measurements. Measurements will occur at various locations as
close to the nearest noise -sensitive locations as possible. Noise -sensitive locations
include residential areas to the east and the cemetery northeast of the Project site.
Sound measurements, which will include measurements of total sound level (dBA) and
individual one-third octave band data, will be made during three or four different
periods of the day and night in order to obtain an accurate depiction of existing sound
levels in the area.
D The future operational sound levels of the substation will be ISO 9613-2 based
modeled with sound modeling software. Available data for nearby structures,
topographical land data, and on-site sound sources will be included in the model in
order to obtain a more accurate assessment of operational sound levels in the area.
Sound contours will be generated by the program for the proposed equipment and
represented on GIS aerial figures.
The expected operational noise levels at noise sensitive receivers will be estimated
and compared to local City requirements. If required, noise mitigation measures will be
developed to reduce the operation noise levels to below the identified limits.
A single Sound Study Report will be prepared for the construction and operational noise
assessments for the Project. The report will discuss sound terminology used in the study, local
regulations, display the modeling results, and provide the recommended mitigation options (if
required).
BURNShiSiDONNELL. 0 Project Approach
Task 2.c: Construction Traffic Analysis
The Burns & McDonnell team will prepare a Construction Traffic Analysis summary for the Project in
accordance with the procedures and requirements of the City and any relevant local guidelines. This
scope assumes that Project would not result in significant changes to circulation patterns (such as
new street connections). Accordingly, this analysis will not include a traffic assessment for operation
of the substation, This analysis will evaluate construction traffic only.
Note: changes to CEQA guidelines pursuant to SB743 has changed the focus of transportation
impact analysis from measuring impacts to drivers (LOS) to vehicle miles travelled (VMT). Burns &
McDonnell understands that the City will utilize the opt -in period before the use of VMT is
mandatory. Lodi Electric Utility has until July 2020 to implement this change in traffic methodology
and therefore we will not provide this method of analysis for this Project. The Specific items
necessary for preparation of the construction traffic analysis include (but are not limited to) the
following:
► Staging/phasing - A description of staging area location(s), construction phases, and phase duration
(including potential overlapping phases).
► Workers (for each phase) - Approximate number of workers on a typical day, construction
schedule/hours (i.e., estimated arrival/departure times), possible carpool/vanpool options, and access
routes (including any proposed roadway closures/detours).
► Hauling/deliveries (for each phase) - Anticipated number of haul/delivery trucks on a typical day,
truck schedule/hours, and designated truck routes.
► Machinery/equipment (for each phase) - A description of any heavy machinery/equipment that
requires transport to/from the Project site (not included as part of staging or hauling/deliveries).
The Burns & McDonnell team will utilize the information requested above for purposes of estimating
the approximate daily and peak -hour trips to be generated by construction activities. The Burns &
McDonnell team will analyze the roadway segments (up to 4 segments) and intersections (up to 4
intersections) adjacent to the Project site to identify potential construction traffic impacts. The
construction traffic analysis summary will be prepared in response to the PEA format and content
requirements. The report would include the analysis results, significance determinations, and
minimization measures (if any) as an appendix to the PEA document.
Task 3: Preparation of PEA
Task 3,a: First Draft PEA
The Burns & McDonnell Team provides the technical expertise to support an environmental impact
analysis based on the PEA Checklist, Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines (environmental checklist),
and City Guidelines. We will prepare the PEA in a print -ready document format using the applicable
PG&E templates.
We will provide specific and limited information to PG&E for inclusion in the first several chapters of
the PEA, including the Executive Summary, Chapter 1 - Purpose and Need, Chapter 2 - Alternatives,
and Chapter 3 - Project Description. We will prepare Chapter 4 - Environmental Impact Analysis
specific to the City's scope of work. It is assumed that development of Chapter 5 - Comparison of
BURNS1% MIDONNELL 0 Project Approach
Alternatives and Chapter 6 - Other CEQA Considerations, the List of Preparers Section, the Glossary,
Appendix A - CEQA Checklist, and Appendix B - List of Preparers will be prepared solely by PG&E.
Chapter 4 will include the environmental setting, impacts analysis, and mitigation measures for each
of the topics included. The setting will include a description of the physical environment in the
vicinity of the Project, including the local and regional environment, and a description of the
regulatory environment, including Federal, State, and local regulations. Each Chapter 4 section of the
document will include:
► Overview;
► Technical Methodology;
► Regulations Plan, and Standards;
► Significance Criteria;
► Applicant Proposed Measures; and
► References.
The Burns & McDonnell team will coordinate with PG&E when including relevant mitigation measures
and Applicant Proposed Measures that may apply to the City scope. It will be important to maintain
consistency and avoid conflicts for mitigation between the City parcel and PG&E's proposed
switching station.
Burns & McDonnell will evaluate the following topics according to the CPUC's guidance for PEA
content requirements:
► Aesthetics
► Agriculture
► Air Quality
► Biological Resources
► Cultural Resources
► Geology, Soils, and Seismic Potential
► Hazards and Hazardous Materials
► Hydrology and Water Quality
► Land Use Permitting
► Mineral Resources
► Noise
► Population and Housing
► Public Services
► Recreation
► Transportation and Traffic
► Utilities and Public Services
BURNS�kMSDONNELL. 0 Project Approach
Additional topics recently required under CEQA (such as Wildfire and Energy) will likely be required
though the PEA templates from the CPUC and PG&E have not been updated to reflect this change
and it is not known whether PG&E will include such items in the ultimate PEA. Burns & McDonnell will
include a qualitative analysis for these items. Standalone technical studies are not anticipated to be
required for this analysis.
Task 3.b: Revised (Second Draft) PEA
After receipt of comments from Lodi Electric Utility and PG&E on the First Draft PEA, the
documentation will be revised and a Revised (second Draft) PEA will be prepared. The Revised PEA
will include the main volume and a second volume that includes the technical reports and other
referenced appendices to the PEA. This scope of work anticipates a moderate level of revisions.
Major revisions to the First Draft PEA and/or new or substantially expanded technical analyses are
not anticipated.
Task 3.c: Final Revised PEA
After receipt of one consolidated set of comments from Lodi Electric Utility on the Second Draft
PEA, the documentation will be revised, and a Final Revised PEA will be prepared. The Final Revised
PEA will include the main volume and a second volume that includes the technical reports and other
referenced appendices to the PEA. This scope of work anticipates a minor level of revisions.
Substantive revisions to the Second Draft PEA and/or new or substantially expanded technical
analyses are not anticipated.
Burns & McDonnell will cooperate with PG&E to incorporate our sections of the PEA into the ultimate
submittal.
Schedule Efficiencies: PEA development would follow a staggered submittal schedule for delivery of
draft sections to Lodi Electric Utility and PG&E. The required resource areas will be split into several
submittal batches, each batch following its own schedule to space out deliverables to the extent
feasible. To avoid waiting until there is a fully completed Project Description, the team will prioritize
"existing conditions/regulatory framework" text development first for each section, using much of
the research already conducted during Project Initiation. Once the Project Description is complete,
the team will be released to initiate the impact analysis. The benefit of this approach is that it allows
the team to move forward with the PEA rather than holding until the Project Description is fully
complete. It also reduces the risk of rework if design changes are made along the way which tend to
cause a ripple affect across all chapters if the analysis is started prematurely.
Some chapters are reliant on technical studies for topics that will likely require specialized study or
calculations. We anticipate these supporting technical studies/calculations will include air quality and
greenhouse gas emissions, biological resources, cultural and paleontological resources, noise, and
traffic and transportation. Burns & McDonnell has an internal team of resource experts that bring
decades of experience in assessing impacts of environmental technical topics. The Burns &
McDonnell team and our in-house subject matter experts (SMEs) will conduct technical studies for
topics that will likely require specialized study or calculations. We have chosen to partner with local
DBE firms, Far Western (Cultural/Tribal) and Swaim Biological, Inc (Biological Resources) to
BURNS %MfDONNELL. 0 Project Approach
supplement our local field survey capabilities. Burns & McDonnell may choose to subcontract other
technical reviews but would not do so without written consent from Lodi Electric Utility.
For Consideration: Additional Visualization Servicos
For other clients, Burns & McDonnell has offered additional products and services to help utility,
regulatory, and public stakeholders visualize the project and its proposed impacts. Some examples
include:
► 3D Printed Models
"Google Cardboard" -type virtual reality walkthrough
Combines 3D point cloud scanning and Microstation 3D models into one experience
We believe these could add significant value to Lodi Electric Utility in communicating the project and
would appreciate the opportunity to discuss further.

Projects, with a short -turnaround 3D printed model of the
CA High Speed Rail Site 3 "FMC" Substation. This was
presented to the Caltrain Board to help PG&E communicate
the project,
We will spread the word Internally at PG&E — these
3D printed models help us communicate project
designs outside of the traditional execution
departments. And with these larger projects, such
as Caltrain Electrification and HSR, we need to
engage many more stakeholders than are
traditionally involved.
