Dear Mr. Welch and Mr. DeMello,

Environmental Intelligence, LLC (EI) has been retained by the City of Beverly Hills (COBH) and the Los

Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) to serve as the independent compliance

monitor (ICM) during construction of the Purple Line Extension Project. Monitoring is required to ensure

construction is in compliance with (1) the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for Advance Utilities

Relocation Phase of the Purple Line Extension Project – Segment 1 – Between the City of Beverly Hills

and the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (City Agreement No. 452-14), and (2) the

MOA for Contract C1045 of the Purple Line Extension Project – Segment 1 – Between the City of Beverly

following information summarizes the ICM monitoring activities that occurred at the Segment 1 site (La

Cienega Station site) during the week of March 17, 2019 – March 23, 2019. No construction activities

were conducted on March 17.

Construction activities during the week included excavating and lagging below deck in the Gale shaft,

stockpiling soil in the Gale yard, hoisting soil, hauling soil offsite, materials deliveries, lowering and setting

wood beams, building timber mats in the Gale yard, cleaning and sweeping the perimeter of the Gale and

La Cienega yards, mechanical work on heavy equipment, assembling and disassembling the North Gale

Drive closure, and Ump repair/MPBX installation. EI ICMs were present on site during all construction

activities and conducted routine noise measurements at selected noise monitoring locations as well as

compliance checks in accordance with the MOAs and associated attachments, exhibits, traffic closure

notifications, and traffic management plans. At the conclusion of each work shift, daily monitoring reports

were prepared by the ICM. Any violations for that date were also prepared by the ICM then reviewed and

submitted to the COBH and Metro by EI’s Project Manager.

VIOLATION SUMMARY

During the week, EI ICMs identified a total of one (1) violation during construction activities. Table I

provides a summary of the violation identified during the week of March 17, 2019 – March 23, 2019 and

Exhibit 1 provides a location map for the submitted violation. Details for the violation are included as

Attachment A. Daily monitoring reports and photographs of construction activities are provided as
