•7) V, .•
Name of Firm or Individual, Principal Place of Business

impacts to State and county government revenues and expenditures;
• Land planning and urban design, including master planning, GIS modeling and data development
and management for geographic analysis in both rural and urban contexts for: transit-oriented
mixed-use developments, educational and campus facilities, resort and residential communities,

Economic and Fiscal Impact Assessment
One of the specialized services offered by PBR HAWAII includes economic and fiscal impact
assessment. Long a key component of Chapter 343 compliance, these studies are also increasingly
sought out to inform agency and community dialogues related to new or redevelopments. A
typical study assesses a project's impacts to employment, personal earnings, population and
government revenues and expenditures within the State of Hawaii and its relevant county,
utilizing coefficients derived from the State's latest Input-Output econometric study. They can also
be tailored to consider specific impacts at a neighborhood or community scale.

Capacity to Complete the Work in the Required Time
PBR HAWAII'S staff is capable of immediate start and timely completion of projects. Our current
workload projections conclude that we have well-trained and experienced staff to accomplish
assignments. With our 40 employees, PBR HAWAII is one of the largest planning and landscape
architectural firms in the state. PBR HAWAII has the capability and experience of responding to
client demands on moment's notice. As a service business, it is our goal to maintain satisfied
clients from project start to finish. Repeat clientele represents approximately 80% of our work
and is evidence of PBR HAWAII'S ability to provide timely service and quality products year after
year.
It is our goal to respond to each assignment effectively and rapidly, while ensuring the successful
implementation of project requirements. PBR HAWAII is also committed to immediate start-up on
projects for Client emergencies or unexpected needs. A principal will be assigned to every project
to see that project schedules are met. The process we propose consists of following administrative
procedures:
1. Meet with Client and determine/identify critical project components and other logistical or
coordination project needs.
2. Visit project site.
3. Evaluate the project scope, budgets, scheduling constraints/requirements and logistical
considerations such as travel,work sequencing, equipment acquisition, etc.
4. Make key project assignments based on Client needs and schedule.
5. Initiate appropriate project controls, methodology to monitor progress reports, and final
delivery schedules.
Tools such as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Project are often helpful to develop a workflow
that integrates project planning, design, and construction tasks. A PBR HAWAII project manager
for a specific project would use such a tool to determine opportunities for concurrent work tasks,
as well as monitor critical path tasks that affect overall project delivery. The project schedule
would evolve in detail and approach and will be updated regularly. Regular team meetings
provide a means to ensure assignments get accomplished in a timely manner and to anticipate and
come up with solutions for new issues. Concise meeting notes will be timely disseminated to
document decisions and next steps, as well as to guide accountability.A controlled-access Internet
site for team members (e.g., Basecamp) is useful to share files, exchange messages, assign tasks,
and manage a calendar.
PBR HAWAII has established a system for internal communication in which the project manager
constantly coordinates and reviews staff work products and relays this information to the
principal-in-charge of the project. A system for critiques has been established to allow staff input
and to take advantage of individual talents and experiences. Points of contact within the firm are
established for coordination with consultants and with project team members. Project managers
are required to keep consultants and other project team members abreast of project status
through weekly or bi-weekly (depending on project requirements) coordination meetings and
memorandums. Communication with other consultants is not a problem as PBR HAWAII utilizes
state of the art technology and software to keep these consultants abreast on the project status. A
coordination check list along with standard process charts, schedules, and timelines are
established to complete projects on schedule and within budget. The related projects listed are
examples of projects completed on time and on budget.

HHFDC Act 305 Housing Study, Statewide
Act 305, Session Laws of Hawaii 2022, also known as the "Yes in My Backyard Act," charged
HHFDC to convene a statewide working group on affordable housing to foster increased inter-
agency coordination, raise public awareness of ongoing State and county efforts to reduce barriers
to affordable housing development, and propose related legislation. PBR HAWAII assisted HHFDC
by conducting research, conducting outreach to stakeholders, and convening a third Working
Group meeting based on priorities established in HHFDC's prior Working Group efforts. PBR
HAWAII also assisted Working Group members in identifying high priority affordable housing
projects with public nexus and near-term potential, and recommending infrastructure

provide preliminary land planning and entitlement analyses.
PBR HAWAII further supported the Church's decision making by
identifying a broad range of alternative land uses and analyzing
potential performances along market and business variables. „tiq :v
Ultimately, 10 categories of potential uses were assessed, including
uses that could optimize value from the existing ballrooms and
clubhouse including culinary training, rural health and food access, trade shows, and other;
agriculture and related uses emphasizing linkages to education and visitor trade; and outdoor
recreation and educational opportunities. Each category was evaluated in terms of property
suitability, market outlook, potential investment needs, operating returns, and financial risk

Waimea 400 Affordable Housing Master Plan/Land Use Entitlements, Kauai
In 2019, the County of Kauai purchased a 417-acre property in West Kauai between Waimea and
Kekaha referred to as 'Waimea 400." With extensive input from the community, PBR HAWAII
developed an adaptive conceptual master plan that can be adjusted over time based on the
potential impacts of sea level rise, groundwater intrusion, and climate change. Permanent
structures are located at higher elevations and areas not anticipated to be impacted by anticipated
sea level rise exposure.
The project included an initial survey that received over 700 responses identifying the
community's desired uses for the site; and a design challenge where area high school students
learned about land use planning and developed their own master plans for the site. The plan
envisions continuing the relationship with the schools and community in applying traditional
ecological knowledge in the adaptive management of the site and becoming the learning grounds
for incubator and innovative agriculture, wetland restoration, affordable and transitional housing,
and community-based recreational spaces.
The project received the 2022 American Planning Association, Hawaii Chapter Honorable
Mention award in Outstanding Planning.
In the next stages of implementation, PBR HAWAII has been further engaged to prepare a site plan
for the roughly 60 acres dedicated to affordable housing and to process related land use
entitlements including a State Land Use Boundary Amendment, an HRS Section 201H-38
Application, and a National Environmental Policy Act EA. Community engagement is also included
and integral to developing the affordable housing site plan. Over 150 people attended the first
kick-off community workshop. PBR HAWAII will also establish and maintain a project website and
prepare a market assessment and an economic and fiscal impact assessment of the affordable
housing elements of Waimea 400.

Pulehunui Master Plan Development, Maui
PBR HAWAII prepared and processed an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Pulehunui
Master Plan Development, a project area of over 1,150 acres in Pulehunui, Central Maui managed
by four State agencies.
For this project, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) partnered with the Department
of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), the Department of Public Safety (PSD), and the
Department of Accounting and General Resources (DAGS) to undertake a cooperative effort in
land use planning, fiscal coordination, and infrastructure planning for the Pulehunui Regional
Infrastructure Master Plan.
PBR HAWAII assisted DHHL, the lead agency, by coordinating an infrastructure master plan for
the four State agency stakeholders. As part of this effort, PBR HAWAII also evaluated market
outlooks and prepared an economic and fiscal assessment of all plan components, with respect to
direct, indirect and induced impacts for the County of Maui and the State of Hawaii. Components
were evaluated individually and by agency, and included: 1) commercial/light industrial uses
(DHHL); 2) agricultural uses (DHHL); 3) commercial/light industrial and public/quasi-public uses
(DLNR); and 4) the proposed Maui Regional Public Safety Complex (PSD/DAGS).
Besides the delivery of water for irrigation and drinking, one of the biggest issues the project faces
was how to collect, treat and dispose of wastewater. A total of nine wastewater system
alternatives were addressed in the FEIS. Seven of the alternatives included a new Wastewater
Reclamation Facility, but at different locations within the region. At the time the FEIS was
published, an alternative was not selected. Thus,the impacts of each alternative were addressed in
a programmatic way.

Keahumoa Place, Oahu
Michaels Development Company ("Michaels") contracted PBR HAWAII to prepare and process
approvals under Chapter 201H, Hawaii Revised Statutes for an affordable housing rental project.
Michaels was selected (through a request for proposal process) to develop the Hawaii Housing
Finance & Development Corporation's (HHFDC) property within East Kapolei, known as
"Keahumoa Place". The project will include 320 homes, with rents affordable to households
earning between 30% and 100% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Construction of all phases is
expected to be complete in the first quarter of 2020.

Transit-Oriented Development Conceptual Master Plans for Kapalama and
Moanalua Kai (Shafter Flats), Oahu
The State of Hawaii, Department of Hawaiian Home Lands retained PBR HAWAII to assist in the
preparation of conceptual master plans for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) for DHHL
properties in Kapalama and Moanalua Kai/Shafter Flats. The master plan process included: 1) site
assessments, market studies, and preliminary financial assessments to identify the context and
opportunities for potential TOD development and 2) a week-long charrette with representatives
from DHHL. The project goal was to assist DHHL in determining the feasibility of potential
development scenarios and land uses that can help the agency capitalize on the advantages of TOD
and its related benefits, within the context of the agency's mission, values, and land use
regulations.
A major focus of the site assessments was to analyze �� I Him
FI - i II
the impacts that various sea level rise scenarios may
have on long-term development opportunities and ` _
g- P PP '�����financial investments on the properties due to the
proximity to waterways, low existing elevations, _ �.
existing flooding in the Moanalua Kai area, and
exposure to sea level rise conditions. - u3
Multiple sea level rise scenarios were considered to w'`' /
identify uncertainties of timing and magnitude of , . ,:.2 .,� /
impacts to the properties. Scenarios included: 1) maintaining existing facilities and providing lease
extensions (limited reinvestment on the properties) 2) complete redevelopment of facilities
including mitigation strategies (major investment on the properties) and 3) phased
redevelopment of the properties that allows flexibility in decision making based on changing sea
level rise conditions over time (flexible adaptation approach). The scenario analysis identified
costs associated with various strategies, and opportunities for income generation to inform
suggested TOD development on the properties.
The sea level rise projection graphic below represents sea level rise scenarios and anticipated
building life spans based on the magnitude of sea level rise, development approach, and
implementation of mitigation strategies. Overall, this approach allowed DHHL to comprehensively
consider the potential magnitude of investment against uncertain futures of sea level rise to better
understand opportunities for return on investment and associated limitations.

The Hidden Costs of Parking in Hawaii
Ulupono Initiative is a Hawaii-based impact investment firm that strives to improve the quality of
life in our communities. Ulupono is concerned about the impact of state and local parking policies
on the affordability of housing and many consumer goods and is concerned they may be
undermining the State's important climate and energy goals.
PBR HAWAII assembled a team that included Rider Levett Bucknall, nationally recognized
professional cost estimators, and undertook this groundbreaking study. to quantify the direct and
"hidden" costs of parking on the islands of Maui, Hawaii, Kauai, and 0`ahu, with separate analyses
for 0`ahu's urban/TOD and other areas.
