CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: AGREEMENTS FOR SERVICES NO. 94-4 AND 94-5, CAROUSEL MALL
AND INLAND CENTER MALL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTS
MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL MEETING
AUGUST 15, 1994
REOUEST AND LOCATION
Carousel Mall and Inland Center Mall are currently processing Development Agreement
applications (DA 94-01 and DA 91-01 respectively). As a result of the potentially significant
environmental impacts associated with each project, the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), requires that an Environmental Impact Report be prepared for each application as
environmental clearance.
Carousel Mall, bounded by 4th Street, 2nd Street, "E" Street and "G" Street, is requesting
approval of a Development Agreement to govern the proposed expansion. Specifically, the
applicant is proposing to add an additional 343,852 square feet to the mall consisting of 321 ,052
square feet of additional retail space, 22,800 square feet of additional common area and
additional parking structures totaling 2,176 new spaces. Approximately 267,065 square feet of
remodeling would occur as well as a realignment and extension of "G" Street to connect with
"H" Street.
Inland Center Mall, located at the intersection of Inland Center Drive and the 1-215 Freeway,
is requesting approval of a Development Agreement to govern the proposed expansion.
Specifically, the applicant is proposing to add an additional 776,465 gross square feet to the
existing 985,883 square feet and 3,020 parking spaces to the existing 4,400 spaces. As
proposed, the project will involve the construction of up to three (3) new major department
stores and a second floor of retail built in four (4) phases.
BACKGROUND
"
Both Carousel Mall and Inland Center Mall have submitted Development Agreement
applications. Inland Center Mall's application was submitted in 1991 and processed through the
Mayor and Common Council with a proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration as environmental
clearance. The Mayor and Common Council then directed staff and the applicant to prepare an
Environmen!al Impact Report. This effort is the product of that direction. The Environmental
Review Committee reviewed the Initial Study for Carousel Mall and determined that an
Environmental Impact Report would be required for their proposed expansion.

As a result of the complexities associated with processing these applications concurrently and
their potential effects upon each other, the Department of Planning and Building Services and
the Economic Development Agency secured the services of Mr. Chuck Bell, an environmental
consultant, to oversee the projects as an extension of staff.
CONSULTANT SELECTION PROCESS
Since April 1994, Planning and Building Services has been in the process of soliciting
prospective consultants to prepare two separate Environmental Impact Reports for the Carousel
and Inland Center Mall expansions. A review/selection committee was established comprised
of Mr. Bell and representatives from the Departments of Planning and Building Services and
Public Works as well as the Economic Development Agency. Interviews were conducted on
June 1, 1994, after the panel selected the top five (5) candidates.
EDA W was the consensus choice of every member of the review/selection committee. It is
Planning and Building Services' belief that they can fairly and professionally prepare and defend
the EIR's. The selection criteria were numerous with emphasis on the following:
o Overall quality of proposal
o Overall understanding of the issues (e.g. socio/economic, traffic, etc.)
o Ability to represent the project well to the Planning Commission and Common
Council
o Project management
o Oral presentation and subsequent interview responses
o Focus on legal defensibility
o Experience with projects of a similar scope and scale
o Cost
o Local Preference
FUNDING
,
The costs of preparing the Environmental Impact Reports will be borne solely by the applicants
(Carousel Mall and Inland Center Mall). The applicants will sign the agreements and provide
funding upon ratification of the agreements by the Mayor and Common Council. The costs of
staff's time will also be borne by the applicants subject to the direct cost recovery procedure
associated with Development Agreement applications. The costs of Mr. Bell's time are being
borne by the applicant and the Economic Development Agency pursuant to separate agreements.

SCOPE OF WORK
The proposed Scopes of Work for both Environmental Impact Reports have been included as
attachments to this staff report. The scopes provide definable tasks for preparation of the
documents including data collection, preparation of Draft and Final EIR's, findings and facts,
and statements of overriding considerations as well as attendance at meetings and hearings.
MINORITY AND WOMEN BUSINESS ENTERPRISES GOALS
The proposal complies with the City's goals as established in Resolution No. 93-411, in that the
subconsultant are comprised ofat least 15% minority owned and 5% women owned businesses.
WCAL PREFERENCE
Of the 12 proposals received by staff, only one firm had an office in San Bernardino. This firm
was teamed with another firm under whose name the proposal was written. Of the five (5) firms
interviewed, two (2) had offices in Riverside. This was one of the rating factors used in ranking
the proposals; however, it was not the major consideration. The review committee believed that
the firm selected for the contract, EDA W, was best able to prepare the documents and fulfill the
City's needs and requirements.
MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OPTIONS
The Mayor and Common Council may:
1. Approved the Agreements for Services in the amount of:
(1) $125,653.W for Carousel Mall; and
(2) $119,107.00 for Inland Center Mall
"
RECOMMENDA nON
Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council adopt the resolutions approving the
Agreements for Services, for the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports for the Carousel
Mall and Inland Center Mall expansions.

to, the controversy of the project by: utilizing the CEQA process as an information gathering
and public information process; utilizing the structure of the CEQA process to receive input on
the scope of the environmental issues to be addressed and to provide written responses to address
the issues and concerns expressed by the public; and using each step in the CEQA process to
build an adequate, legally defensible EIR. This has started with the Initial Study, continues

The aggregate limit is the total insurance available for claims presented within the policy for all
operations.
CSL stands for "Combined Single Limit."
30 day notice of cancellation is a standard request for certificates; there is no additional charge.
Naming the client as additional insured on the policy is also fairly standard; however there is a $50
charge per request. These are billed to the office and in turn should be billed to the client. Primary
coverage requirements are an additional charge; consult the business manager.
