Re: EMC Planning Group Statement of Qualifications for Environmental Services

Dear Robert,

On behalf of the EMC Planning Group team, Im pleased to submit this Statement of
Qualifications to provide Environmental Services to the City of Carmel for the term of
October 1, 2017 to June 30, 2019.

As youll find described in the enclosed pages, EMC Planning Group is qualified to
provide Environmental Services to the City of Carmel. We are currently providing
similar services to various municipalities for environmental review services including
the cities of Los Gatos, Gilroy, Hollister and the counties of Monterey and San Benito.
We are a local firm, accessible to the City, and offer 39 years of experience on the
Monterey Peninsula. We prepare environmental documentation for jurisdictions all over
the State of California, and have many examples of both public works and planning
related efforts. We provide related in-house technical expertise in air quality,
greenhouse gas emission, and biological resources analysis. We have a certified arborist
who lives in Carmel on our staff.

Furthermore, EMC Planning Group has a long history of providing excellent service to
the City of Carmel including on-call staff support and preparation of the Citys Local
Coastal Plan. As you are probably aware, getting the Citys LCP certified by the Coastal
Commission was a monumental achievement in 2004.
