OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
FROM: REDEVELOPMENT STAFF
SUBJECT: CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENTS WITH DEVELOPERS
RESEARCH AND SMS ARCHITECTS FOR PROFESSIONAL
CONSULTING SERVICES FOR THE TUSTIN LEGACY PROJECT
SUMMARY
Approval is requested of two Consultant Services Agreements (CSAs) to provide services
intended to assist the Agency in refinement and revision of the City's disposition and
business strategy for the Master Developer footprint at Tustin Legacy.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency:
1. Authorize the Executive Director or Assistant City Manager to execute the attached
CSA's with Developer's Research and SMS, subject to any non-substantive modifications
as may be deemed necessary by the City Attorney prior to execution of the Agreements.
2. Appropriate $150,000 from un-appropriated funds in the MCAS Tustin Redevelopment
fund (555) to MCAS Tustin Redevelopment Account No. 555-35-00-6010.
FISCAL IMPACT
As indicated in the City Council Agenda Report of June 15, 2010, it was expected that the
Redevelopment Agency would incur expenses for any activities associated with revision of
the City's disposition and business strategy for the Tustin Legacy Project, including but not
limited to, necessary financial analysis, legal consultation, real estate surveys, subdivision
mapping and engineering services, land use planning and design and other expenses.
Support for refinement of the disposition and business strategy for the Tustin Legacy
Project is an acceptable use of MCAS Tustin Redevelopment funds.
As currently proposed, the services with Developers Research and SMS Architects would
have the following fiscal impacts:

1. On the Developer's Research Agreement, services are proposed not to exceed a
compensation amount of $75,000.
2. On the SMS Agreement, services are proposed not to exceed a compensation amount
of $75,000.
BACKGROUND
As the Agency is aware, the recent City Council approval of a Termination and Settlement
Agreement with Tustin Legacy Community Partners LLC ("TLCP"), resulted in termination
of a Disposition and Development Agreement with TLCP. With an August 5, 2010 close of
escrow, TLCP re-conveyed back to the City approximately 335 acres at Tustin Legacy.
The City is now posed to proceed in a timely manner over the next few months to refine
and revise its disposition and business strategy for the master developer footprint (820
gross acres, of which approximately 420 acres will be available for development).
The staff has identified the need to obtain additional consultant support for the
development of the revised disposition and business plan strategy, in addition to the
involvement of key core internal project teams from a number of the City's operating
departments. Given the highly complex nature of the project and recent economic and
real estate market conditions, the engagement of a number of outside consultant firms
with specific expertise in a variety of development, design, and real estate related
disciplines will assist the Agency in preparation of a viable business strategy. The
anticipated need for outside consultant support will include, but may not be limited to,
assistance with financial feasibility analysis, including development of financing strategies
for the project and evaluation of fiscal impacts, advice on market conditions (including
updates on various market demand studies previously completed for the project), advice
on land use/planning and design issues, advice on engineering and design issues, and
subsequent marketing of the property.
Given their experience in land use, development, engineering issues and/or financial
feasibility issues previously at Tustin Legacy and their thorough knowledge of the Master
Plan, the City has requested that several firms support its efforts as a member of a "Core
Team" to revise the Disposition and Business Strategy for the Tustin Legacy project.
Attached are two proposed Consultant Services Agreements with two firms that have
extensive experience in their disciplines and vast knowledge of the Tustin Legacy project.
Procuring the services of both firms would benefit the Legacy project in time and cost
savings and be most cost efficient given that they would not have to be educated
regarding the project. While there are certainly many qualified experts and firms in the
industry that could support the City's efforts, going through an open solicitation process

would result in the Agency largely having to pay to educate new firms regarding the
complexities of the Tustin Legacy project. Additional consultant support from other firms
may also be brought forward to the Agency in the future.
The first Agreement is proposed to be with the firm of Developers Research, with Barry
Gross to be the principal engaged in the project. Developers Research has been
previously engaged by the Agency and City on the Tustin Legacy project on a number of
assignments including, but not limited to, undertaking land valuation modeling, land value
and cash flow analysis, hiring and managing sub-consultant work on residential market
demand analysis, involvement in developer negotiations as a member of the Agency's
internal negotiation team, auditing and validating Tustin Legacy Backbone Infrastructure
and Local Infrastructure Work and costs, and recommending cost efficiencies to the City
on the project. Mr. Gross will be helpful to the core team on such tasking items as
examining engineering costs and solving engineering challenges related to the project;
assisting the City in identifying early implementation opportunities, mid-term opportunities
and longer term opportunities; conducting financial modeling and financial burden
analysis; support in examining residential market conditions for future development of the
project; ultimate pricing of disposition packages and parcels, and support and advice on
the sizing of future property disposition packages.
The second Agreement is proposed to be with the firm of SMS Architects, with Joseph
Smart to be the principal engaged in the project. Joseph Smart has been involved in the
project and was instrumental in his work with the Agency, City and TLCP in development
of the master plan for the master developer footprint, including significant involvement in
the development of concepts for the lineal park, and key iconic elements of the master
plan including the Warner Avenue bridge, Tustin Ranch Road bridge and Armstrong
Bridges. Mr. Smart will be helpful to the core team in any land use planning and design
issues that will impact future disposition of the project, assistance in refining any
parcelization approach (in conjunction with financial consultants), and understanding any
proposed vertical development issues for the project that could also impact disposition.
SMS's services will also include architectural expertise to support the Agency's site plan
and design review of certain MCAS Tustin development projects.
Additional marketing materials are attached on each firm for the City Council's information
and review. Should you have any questions, staff will be available to respond.

PROJECT COST ESTIMATES
Developers Research ("DR") offers Project
Financial Analysis for Land Development
Improvement Costs at three different levels:
Cost Estimates Without an Existing Land
Plan
DR has accumulated a database from
evaluating more than 8,000 projects containing
more than five million lots. We can effectively
estimate project costs without an existing land
plan. A DR cost analysis is generally
separated into three significant areas:
• Intract Costs or Direct Improvement
Costs: Direct Improvement Costs for
individual home sites ("Intract Costs")
are straight forward to estimate. They
include improvement costs for wet and
dry utilities in local streets that impact
lots specifically within the project.
• Backbone: Backbone Costs include
improvements that are physically on
site, but may serve more than one
planning area or areas not designed
with lots. By DR's definition, Backbone
streets do not have lots fronting on
them.
• Bring-up Costs: Bring-up Costs, as
defined by DR, include costs for
improvements not physically located on
the property. Such costs may include
construction of offsite sanitary sewer
treatment plants, offsite water
reservoirs, electrical substations or
freeway interchanges.
Cost Estimates Based On Tentative Tract
Maps or Specific Plans
To determine these costs, DR analyzes
tentative tract maps, preliminary project
conditions, initial reports and other project
related documents.
Cost Estimates Based On Completed
Engineering Drawings
DR analyzes engineering drawings, project
specific conditions, project related reports and
other client provided documents to prepare the
budget.
PROJECT FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
DR can combine its cost information with
revenue information provided by third parties to
provide either project feasibility analyses or
cash flow analyses. The cash flow analysis
yields both a profit estimate and an Internal
Rate of Return calculation.
VERTICAL COST ESTIMATES
Based on a builder's specifications, DR can
prepare preliminary house construction costs.
We prepare vertical budgets with Sage
Timberline and On Center software using the
Fredley Residential Data Base. DR personnel
have extensive experience in vertical costing
and are supported by RSMeans and multiple
manufacturers and subcontractors.
IMPACT FEE ANALYSIS
We have a dedicated department to research
Impact Fees and other public financing issues.
Preparation of a fee estimate is often complex
since each jurisdiction has different fee
programs. Our Fee Department is in constant
communication with local public agencies to
better understand a project's Impact Fees.
FLASH BUDGETS
We have developed a proprietary database of
costs for different product types in various
geographic areas. By using appropriate
regression analyses, we are able to reasonably
predict a project's costs based on historical
data. This allows the client to obtain a
"ballpark" development cost for use in
investment decisions. In preparing Flash
Budgets, DR still uses its traditional standard of
care in determining impact fees, but uses
regression analysis to estimate Improvement
Costs. This service is often available at a
significant reduction from the cost of preparing
a complete detailed analysis.

GRADING TAKEOFFS
DR uses Agtek Earthwork 3D, Earthgraphics
and Carlson Takeoff software to prepare
grading takeoffs. DR can digitize existing
contours and proposed grades if electronic
plans are not available. If AutoCAD files are
available, the plans can be directly imported
into the grading software. These electronic
takeoffs can also be sent to a grading
contractor to facilitate the bidding process. For
all grading takeoffs, we determine quantities for
remedial grading such as overexcavation,
alluvium or colluvium removals, heavy ripping
and blasting. We provide graphical output
allowing the clients to review the areas of cut
and fill to better understand the project's
grading issues. Through the use of these
grading softwares, DR is able to recommend
the most profitable way to grade a site.
CFD ANALYSIS
DR has worked with various clients and
Community Facilities District consultants in
scheduling costs that are eligible for inclusion
in a CFD bond financing. This service includes
reviewing Joint Community Facilities
Agreements ("JCFA") and interpreting Rate
and Method of Apportionment ("RMA")
documents.
MULTIPLE PROJECT ACQUISITION ANALYSIS
DR has prepared complex analyses for the
acquisition of multiple projects by a single
buyer. These reviews have assisted clients in
better negotiating transaction pricing. DR
recently completed comprehensive budgets for
14 projects with 2,000 lots in less than three
weeks.
LAND USE OPTIMIZATION ANALYSIS
Optimization modeling can determine the most
effective product mix that will maximize the
residual land value. In contrast to other
"optimization methods" that primarily deal with
revenues, DR has developed a method that
coordinates revenues and costs for each
product type. We can adjust the cost structure
and allocation of backbone and Bring-ups to
continually monitor the profitability of a land
plan. DR uses linear regression, multiple
regression and Genetic Algorithm tools to
determine effective product mixes. In every
assignment to date, DR was able to develop a
product mix that increased the land residual by
a minimum of 15% and in some cases
increased the land residual value by 200%.
DUE DILIGENCE SERVICES
DR provides a qualitative approach to assist
buyers during the land acquisition process. To
fully understand the current condition of a
proposed land purchase, it is critical to know:
a) the subject property's stage of entitlement
within the local agency; b) the existence of
covenants, conditions or restrictions; c) the
status of land improvements currently in
progress or projected to start; and d) an overall
opinion of the viability and complexity of the
property. The due diligence review is
presented in a systematic format allowing a
client to better understand these issues and
opportunities.
GANTT CHARTS
A Gantt Chart is a graphical representation of a
project as it relates to time. DR prepares Gantt
Charts to provide clients with an in-depth
understanding of how long a particular project
will take. Gantt Charts also allow clients to
identify the status of a development project at
any given time.
"BACK OFFICE" STAFFING/$UPPORT
DR provides full site development staffing for
several clients. The use of DR's personnel on
an "as needed" basis allows clients to reduce
overhead while utilizing an experienced staff.
Developers Research J Tel: (949) 861-3300 J www.dev-res.com J dr@dev-res.com Page 3

BID PACKAGES
DR prepares comprehensive bid packages
including engineering drawings, quantity
takeoffs, technical specifications, special
conditions and insurance requirements to
ensure that all bids are consistent. The bid
packages are appropriate for both conventional
construction and CFD construction. By using
DR for preparation of bid packages, a client
can avoid overloading its internal staff and may
reduce costs.
MANAGEMENT OF BOND EXONERATION
DR provides services to its clients to manage
the exoneration of improvement and
completion bonds. The process is prepared
with the intention of minimizing client
involvement. A bi-weekly status report is
forwarded to clients, allowing them to monitor
the bond exoneration process.
INSPECTION SERVICES
DR has a department that provides inspection
services useful to financial institutions for
disbursement of funds and by developers for
monitoring the progress of offsite
improvements. Currently, our team inspects
and prepares monthly reports for more than 40
projects throughout California, Arizona and
Texas.
PREPARATION OF CONSTRAINTS MAPS
DR assists its clients and their consultants in
preparing Constraints Maps using specialized
software. DR can plot legal, geotechnical,
environmental, CEQA, general plan and zoning
constraints on a single map.
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP REVIEW
We assist clients in reviewing Tentative Tract
Maps for consistency with local laws and
ordinances as well as ensuring the maps
comply with local engineering standards. By
providing a Quality Control review, DR is able
to error check existing plans and assist its
clients in minimizing government review time.
