Attention: Ken Elwin, Public Works Director
City of Merced Public Works Department
1776 Grogan Avenue
Merced, CA 95341
Reference: Amendment 7 Scope of Services for Merced Wastewater Collection System Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
Dear Mr. Elwin,
Scope of Work
Task 206.001: Revised Project Description
Stantec will review the revised WCSMP and 2020 Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to determine the changes in the Project Description and submit a revised Project Description to the City for review.
DELIVERABLES
• Revised Draft Project Description (1 electronic copy) Task 206.002: Administrative, Screencheck, and Recirculated Draft EIR Stantec will make appropriate revisions to these documents and incorporate revised analysis related to changes on the WCSMP at both the Program and Project level. The Recirculated Draft EIR (RDER) will include an Introduction that explains the process and provides the rationale for recirculation, including reference to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5 that addresses recirculation of documents prior to certification.
Given that this will involve reorganization, we do not propose to show track changes in our WORD files relative to the existing layers of environmental documentation. Stantec assumes that the City will provide direction for preparing the Administrative Draft RDEIR so that revisions to prepare the Screencheck and Public Review Draft RDEIR will be very minor.
Stantec will prepare one (1) Administrative RDEIR for City staff review (electronic only). Based on one (1) set of minor, consolidated and vetted City staff comments, Stantec will prepare one (1) Screencheck RDEIR (electronic only). Stantec will respond to one round of consolidated comments on the Screencheck RDEIR and prepare the RDEIR in a manner that is ready to be published for public review. Once the RDEIR is deemed acceptable for public distribution, Stantec will prepare all noticing documents for submittal to the California State Clearinghouse and a Notice of Availability (NOA) for the RDEIR. Stantec will upload the electronic copies of the REIR, appendices, and forms (the NOC, NOA, and Summary Form) via CEQAnet to the State Clearinghouse website to start the 45-day public review period. Stantec will provide an Design with community in mind XHIBIT 1

Attention: Ken Elwin, Public Works Director
Reference: Amendment 7 Scope of Services for Merced Wastewater Collection System Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
ASSUMPTIONS
City will be responsible for public scoping and noticing for any public scoping efforts (e.g., Notice of Preparation) associated with the RDEIR.
• Resource chapters in the RDEIR will be based on the 2020 DEIR, and won't require a substantial re-write of the existing or regulatory setting.
Stantec will be responsible for preparing all notices related to the state CEQA Guidelines for the preparation and public release of the EIR (i.e., NOA, NOC, and NOD). • City will prepare and publish the NOA for the RDEIR in the local newspaper. • Stantec will provide all documents to the City in electronic format (Microsoft Word and PDF). • Stantec will be responsible for submitting the electronic versions on the State Clearinghouse CEQA portal with assistance from the City.
• Meetings in exceedance of those noted in this scope of work would require a change order. • The EIR scope of work may need to be adjusted based on review of public comments, City comments, or level of effort based on revised WCSMP.
• The City will prepare the Findings and all materials for City Council Approval • Stantec staff will conduct reconnaissance-level surveys of pipeline alignments that will be analyzed at the project-level to assess biological and cultural resources. No biological assessments for consultation under the California or Federal Endangered Species Act or cultural resources reports for consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer will be prepared (e.g., consultations required for Section 404 permitting).
• Stantec assumes that the City will provide one set of consolidated and vetted comments on each deliverable.

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Merced (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign system.

At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
