SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL, PLANNING, AND ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR LOS ALAMOS
PHASE II SOCCER PROJECT IN THE CITY OF MURRIETA, CA
(RICK PROPOSAL)
Dear Mr. Ramaiya
The Planning, Environmental, and Design Division of Rick Engineering (RICK) is pleased to submit this proposal to you to augment RICK’s existing contract with the City of Murrieta (City) to provide civil, traffic, water quality and CEQA documentation services for the Los Alamos Phase II Soccer Project in the City of Murrieta. RICK provides an experienced, full‐service environmental and design team that will work with the City to support and successfully carry the Project through the evaluation, research, and analysis required under the prescribed Criteria Refinement Analysis. Our RICK team will work closely with Glenn Lukos Associates (GLA) Biologists to develop background data and analysis in technical areas of stormwater, drainage, land use planning, and transportation. These conceptual design parameters will utilize professional level understanding and industry standards. These conceptual level studies will meet the requirements of the Criteria Refinement Analysis, which through (GLA) Biologist will lead to the development of an overall package to be submitted for a Joint Project Review (JPR), for obtaining Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) Findings and concurrence from the Wildlife Agencies.
A. Project Understanding:
The City of Murrieta (City) is proposing Phase II of the existing Los Alamos Hills Sports Park (Projects) on 47-acres in the City of Murrieta, California. The project includes seven additional sports fields and associated amenities in the undeveloped portion of the existing Los Alamos Hills Sports Park at 37000 Ruth Ellen Way. The City has an opportunity to provide Phase II of the park, which includes the following:
• Soccer Fields
• Restrooms and maintenance facilities
• Tot Lot
• Locker Room/Weight room
• Concessions and seating area
• Parking Lots
Mr. Jarrett Ramaiya
August 13, 2024
The Los Alamos Hills Sports Park is located adjacent to a main arterial. It provides direct access to the Project site via Whitewood Road which runs east-west to the north, and Hunter Road runs north-south to the west of the Project site. The Project site is bounded by single-family residences to the west and northwest. The remainder of the site is bounded by undeveloped land/designated conservation areas to the north and east and the existing park directly to the south. The Project site consists of a single unoccupied residence owned by the City that is currently used as a maintenance facility for the existing park.
The City is required to provide conceptual-level design plans that are of adequate professional and industry standards to address the requirements of the Criteria Refinement Analysis. Full design plans for the Los Alamos Sports Park will be prepared under a separate contract at a later date.
B. Environmental Understanding of Los Alamos Sports Park Complex Phase II As part of the Criteria Refinement overall program the City of Murrieta will need to address the environmental impacts identified by Harris & Associates and expand on the issues and concerns raised by the wildlife agencies.
The preparation of the environmental initial study prepared will be based on CEQA Section 15162. This CEQA approach allows for a project to tier from original CEQA documents. The initial study prepared for the proposed project will tier from the Final EIR for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan (99-078, SCH# 99062037) and Final EIR for the City of Murrieta General Plan 2035 (SCH#2010111084).
The project is part of the Los Alamos Master Plan which was approved in April 2000. The overall development included a high school, sports complex, active park, and open space areas on 254 acres. The Los Alamos Master Plan EIR was approved on April 18, 2000. The EIR determined that the project would result in significant impacts associated with air quality, biological, cultural, noise, paleontological, hazardous waste, water quality, traffic, and geotechnical resources.
We understand the project has been underway for a significant amount of time and that the sports complex plan that was evaluated in the 2000 Master Plan has been redesigned to avoid impacts to the sensitive biological resources located in the project area. The City has been working with its consultants to update previous biological studies prepared for the 2000 Master Plan EIR. A formal aquatic resources delineation was conducted in June 2021. The study identified aquatic and riparian resources potentially subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the USACE, RWQCB, and CDFW, pursuant to Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act and Section 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code. These included an unnamed creek, non-vegetation channels and concrete channels. Associated aquatic and riparian vegetation communities within the project site include Coast live oak woodland, Southern willow scrub, and Vernal pools.
Our approach is to review and incorporate, the Harris and Associates existing technical reports prepared for the Project site, including the “Biological Resources Analysis Report and Jurisdictional Delineation (habitat evaluation and acquisition negotiation strategy [HANS] Report)”. This research will also address other specific-focused CEQA elements (air quality/GHG, traffic, biology, noise, lighting, and water quality) as required to provide site assessment evaluations.
The City will be processing a Western Riverside County Criteria Refinement application and a Determination of Biologically Equivalent or Superior Preservation (DBESP) document to address potential impacts to occupied habitat and riparian habitat including vernal pool resources.
Upon evaluation and clear understanding of the required Project impacts and technical support documents, the RICK team will confirm with the City our preferred approach of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the subject property in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because Mr. Jarrett Ramaiya
August 13, 2024
the project may result in significant environmental impacts. Mitigation measures will be developed by the RICK team to mitigate impacts to a less than significant impact. The CEQA review will incorporate by reference the adopted EIR for the Los Alamos Master Plan. The IS/MND will include new information prepared to address the revised plan including biological resources and cultural resources reports prepared by Glen Lukos. RICK will prepare a conceptual grading map, and supplemental traffic access study conceptual drainage plan, to support the preparation of the IS/MND.
PROJECT TEAM
Key staff and resources proposed for this Project include Teresa Wilkinson, Director of Environmental Planning Services, Greg Mattson, Senior Planner, Ivan Holler, Senior Director, and Kristin Werksman, Associate Civil lead, and support staff from our internal technical departments. Ms. Wilkinson will serve as the environmental technical lead providing oversight and preparation of the CEQA document and coordination with the City and the team. Mr. Mattson will serve as assistant Project Manager with support from Sophia Johnson, Assistant Environmental Planner and with additional support from Kristin Werksman and other RICK staff in the preparation of environmental planning documents and conceptual design plans including traffic, water quality, drainage, and survey work. Our team also includes Bluescape Environmental and dBFA for Air Quality/GHG and Noise technical studies.
SCOPE OF WORK
RICK’s Environmental Team will prepare on outline, approaches, and strategies for the Project site with concurrence with City staff and GLA Associates on crafting of the appropriate CEQA-level document that will address the wildlife processing requirements. Below is our approach to this project.
TASK 1: CIVIL- CONCEPTUAL GRADING PLAN
RICK’s Civil Design team will prepare one (1) conceptual grading plan that will be submitted as a part of the Criteria Refinement Analysis package. The Conceptual Grading Plan will be prepared in accordance with the guidelines from the City of Murrieta and based on the Preliminary Site Plan provided by the City or City’s other consultant in CAD format. The plan will provide preliminary pad elevation, soccer field elevations, finished floor elevations of proposed structures, and preliminary finished grade elevations in roadways and parking areas. The plan will also include the location and nature of proposed retaining walls, storm drain, and water quality features, as required. Plan will include conceptual area drain layout and design. Scope assumes geot echnical recommendations and reports will be prepared by others and provided by Client prior to the production of the conceptual grading plan. Scope assumes two (2) rounds of minor revisions to the conceptual grading plan based on the initial grading analysis and review by the City. Scope also includes two (2) hours of coordination time for obtaining, reviewing, and adjusting the Preliminary Site Plan provided by others to the right coordinate system.
Preliminary Water and Sewer Layout
Consultant will prepare one (1) preliminary sewer and water layout for the project site based on the Preliminary Site Plan and the existing utilities adjacent to the project site in order to review potential conflicts with storm drain and/or grading. Layout will show preliminary potable waterlines and sewer for the project. Scope does not include any sewer study or water net analysis to size the waterlines.
Deliverables:
• Conceptual Grading Plan (electronic copy)
Mr. Jarrett Ramaiya
August 13, 2024
• Preliminary sewer and water layout
TASK 1.1: TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
• RICK will perform a topographic survey utilizing photogrammetric measurements of the 68 acres to locate visible utilities and planimetric features upon and within the immediate vicinity of the Subject Property.
• The aerial survey will include an orthometric photograph, and a surface with 1-foot contours. • Set aerial control at the 11 locations requested by photogrammetrist.
TASK 1.2; BOUNDARY SURVEY WORK
• RICK will research and obtain available record mapping and city ties, field bks and unrecorded surveys for the project parcels. Search for and field survey existing controlling centerline and boundary monumentation. Analyze field located monuments compared with the record mapping, unrecorded city land records and completing boundary survey analysis. Note that the use and reliance of existing monuments of record is required to complete this task. A preliminary title report will be obtained and reviewed to assess location of conservation easements. Easements disclosed by said report will be plotted on field boundary survey if locatable from record.
• Deliverable will be in a MicroStation format, California Coordinate System, NAD 83, (NSRS 2011), EPOCH 2010.00, County of Riverside , Zone 6.
TASK 2: TRAFFIC STUDY
RICK will prepare a traffic study to support the CEQA document. The report will consist of the following:
Data Collection
1. Obtain and review relevant project information (site plan, etc.) from Client.
2. Verify existing site data in terms of surrounding street system, sight distance constraints, parking and traffic control type at the project area intersections.
3. Conduct existing AM/PM peak hour turning movement counts at the following (4) four study intersections:
• Whitewood Road / Project Driveways (East)
• Whitewood Road / Project Driveway (West)
• Whitewood Road / Hunter Road
• Hunter Road / Northernmost Existing Park Driveway
• Los Alamos Road / Ruth Allen Way
Mr. Jarrett Ramaiya
August 13, 2024
4. Conduct existing 48-hour ADT counts at the following two (2) study area roadway segments:
• Whitewood Road: East of Hunter Road
• Ruth Ellen Road: North of Los Alamos Road
• Hunter Road: South of Whitewood Road
5. Conduct 7-day ADT counts at the 3 existing project access points along Hunter Road for the existing Los Alamos Hills Sports Park. An AM/PM weekday and weekend day intersection turning movement counts will also be conducted at these three access points. Data will be collected during typical sports park weekday and weekend operations.
6. Summarize the Los Alamos Hills Sports Park traffic count data to determine a site-specific traffic generation rate for both the weekday and weekends. These trip rates will be utilized for the proposed project.
Conduct Traffic Analysis
The following scenarios will be evaluated on a typical weekday and a weekend day:
- Existing
- Opening Year + Approved Projects
- Opening Year + Approved Projects + Proposed Project
The following describes the tasks for the traffic analysis for each of the scenarios:
1. Conduct an AM/PM peak hour intersection analysis at the project area intersections utilizing current Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodologies for signalized and unsignalized intersections and report intersection operations.
2. Conduct a roadway segment analysis at the study area roadway segments based on City of Murrieta circulation roadway classifications/capacities.
3. Make recommendations, if any, to improve operations or traffic/pedestrian risks improvements within the project area.
Access/Circulation Assessment
1. Qualitatively evaluate proposed site access locations and traffic control as it relates to internal circulation of the project site.
2. Make recommendations to the development’s key access locations based on the projected traffic volumes and anticipated roadway capacities. This includes any recommended turn lane storage lengths at warranted separate turn lanes.
Mr. Jarrett Ramaiya
August 13, 2024
Prepare Traffic Report
The traffic analysis report will include the required text, tables, exhibits and analysis calculations for the City’s review. A qualitative VMT discussion will also be included to address CEQA-related issues. Following one round of review comments from the City, RICK will prepare a final traffic report.
Deliverables:
• Draft and Final Traffic Report
TASK 3: CONCEPTUAL DRAINAGE & STORM WATER QUALITY REPORT In support of the CEQA study, prepare and submit to the City of Murrieta, one (1) Combined Conceptual Drainage & Water Quality Report to be used for the design of the on-site storm drain system and conveyance of flows through the site, to the downstream edge of the project. Included in the drainage portion of the study are major basin level on-site rational method hydrology for pre-project and post-project conditions, preliminary storm drain sizing (using normal depth methodology), drainage study maps (pre-project and post-project), and the report narrative. The drainage analysis will be performed in accordance with the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District’s (RCFCWCD) Hydrology Manual, dated April 1978. The criteria will be used to show pre-project and post-project values at a point of connection/discharge at the downstream edge of the project. If the post-project condition peak flow rates are determined to be higher than pre-project condition by an amount that is considered significant, detention analysis may be required and a separate scope and fee for the same can be provided at the time.
The water quality portion of the study will include conceptual BMP sizing including Source Control, Site Design and Structural Pollutant Control BMPs throughout the site as a result of the project in accordance with the 2018 Water Quality Management Plan for the Santa Margarita Region of Riverside County. This task includes calculation of on-site water quality treatment volumes in order to conceptually size structural pollutant control BMPs using the BMP sizing worksheets, selecting and sizing appropriate pollutant control BMPs based on the site layout, and a Water Quality exhibit showing the project site and location of permanent BMPs. At the conceptual level, empirical volume for hydromodification management shall be calculated and provided for the BMPs to address hydromodification management. This scope assumes conceptual sizing of up to ten (10) biofiltration BMPs. This scope does not include any continuous simulation hydromodification modeling or any offsite water quality analysis.
Deliverables:
• Combined Conceptual Drainage & Water Quality Report
Mr. Jarrett Ramaiya
August 13, 2024
TASK 4: CEQA TECHNICAL STUDIES
4.1 AIR QUALITY/GHG STUDY
RICK’s sub-consultant, Bluescape Environmental, will prepare an Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) study to support the IS/MND. We understand that the IS/MND would tier from the Los Alamos Hills Master Plan Final EIR dated February 23, 2020. The City of Murietta is located within the jurisdiction of South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), which regulates and establishes air quality and greenhouse gas thresholds of significance and methodology guidance under the CEQA).
BlueScape proposes to utilize the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod), Version 2022.1 to quantify emissions and compare against the appropriate South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) CEQA air quality thresholds. Model output results will be provided in a brief combined air quality/GHG technical memorandum with tables. The tables will compare the estimated emissions modeling results to SCAQMD numerical mass daily significance thresholds for construction and operations, as well as SCAQMD localized significance thresholds (LSTs). The report will also include a brief description of existing air quality conditions.
Given that the site is greater than 5 acres, BlueScape anticipates that an LST dispersion modeling analysis may be necessary (i.e., the SCAQMD LST Guidance states that screening tables are not to be used for projects greater than five acres in size). This work scope does not include additional modeling effort, but instead assumes the LST tables for projects up to five acres can be used to support an LST compliance argument for purposes of an IS/MND.
BlueScape will provide a qualitative assessment of health risks due to the Project’s construction and operations, citing infrequent and short-duration diesel emissions associated with construction and very few diesel vehicles.
BlueScape assumes that a quantitative health risk assessment (HRA) will not be required. It is possible that the City may require more quantitative analysis, as the State of California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazards Assessment’s (OEHHA) 2015 HRA guidance states:
“Due to the uncertainty in assessing cancer risk from very short-term exposures, we do not recommend assessing cancer risk for projects lasting less than two months at the MEIR. We recommend that exposure from projects longer than 2 months, but less than 6 months be assumed to last 6 months (e.g., a 2-month project would be evaluated as if it lasted 6 months). Exposure from projects lasting more than 6 months should be evaluated for the duration of the project. In all cases, for assessing risk to residential receptors, the exposure should be assumed to start in the third trimester to allow for the use of the ASFs (OEHHA, 2009).”
Based on the limited information provided thus far, the Project does not appear to be the type of land use that typically results in higher truck traffic and idling; thereby, the likelihood of scrutiny by lead agencies and/or the public is lessened.
Because onsite diesel particulate matter (DPM) emissions associated with Project construction will be of short duration and magnitude, BlueScape has not included a construction health risk assessment (HRA). If an HRA proves necessary, BlueScape can provide a separate scope of work.
Greenhouse Gas
BlueScape proposes to perform a greenhouse gas (GHG) study for construction and operation of the proposed Project. Results of the GHG study would be included as part of the Air Quality/GHG technical memorandum.
Mr. Jarrett Ramaiya
August 13, 2024
BlueScape anticipates the need to show the Project’s consistency with the draft SCAQMD numerical GHG thresholds and the City of Murrieta’s Climate Action Plan. The analysis will include a review and discussion of the Project’s consistency with additional plans for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions, such as the California Air Resources Board’s 2022 Scoping Plan for Achieving Carbon Neutrality (2022 Scoping Plan) and Southern California Association of Governments 2020–2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2020–2045 RTP/SCS / Connect SoCal).
4.2 NOISE TECHNICAL STUDY
RICK’s sub-consultant, dBF Associates (dBFA) will prepare a noise technical report to support the IS/MND. It will consist of the following tasks:
Construction & Operational Noise Analysis
Applicable significance criteria will be identified. A site reconnaissance will be conducted to understand the acoustical characteristics of the project site and surrounding area. The ambient noise environment will be quantified based on sound level measurements at up to nine locations at or near the project property lines, residential uses, and/or noise-sensitive areas.
The analysis will address project construction noise The site configuration will be imported from the project CAD files into the Cadna/A noise prediction model, which will be used to estimate construction noise levels.
Construction noise estimates will be based on the duration of construction activities, type and number of equipment pieces used, and proximity to construction areas.
Unmitigated noise levels in occupied noise-sensitive habitat will be predicted for up to three phases of construction expected to generate the highest noise levels. For habitat that would be exposed to noise levels greater than 60 dBA Leq, attenuation measures to reduce construction noise levels to 60 dBA Leq or below will be recommended in the report. Noise barriers, equipment substitutions, equipment placement changes, time restrictions, and/or constraints on simultaneous use of equipment will be considered as appropriate. Predicted construction noise levels at residential receptor locations will be compared to applicable City noise level limits.
Feasible noise abatement measures based on acoustical calculations will be recommended as necessary.
Operational noise levels will be estimated in the report. Source sound levels for soccer field use will be obtained by the team from measurements during soccer games at a similar local facility. Specific recommendations to mitigate noise levels to below the level of significance at property lines will be provided in the report as necessary.
Prepare Noise Report
The methodology and results of the noise impact assessment will be submitted electronically in a draft noise technical report; four copies of the final report will be provided upon request. Comments resulting from one screen-check review of the draft technical report by the City will be addressed. It is assumed that the comments will be minor and not require additional acoustical calculations or sound level measurements.
Mr. Jarrett Ramaiya
August 13, 2024
TASK 5: ENVIRONMENTAL- CEQA STUDY
TASK 5.1 PREPARE ADMINISTRATIVE DRAFT IS/MND
RICK ‘s Environmental Team will coordinate a series of site visits (if required) for key personnel to the Los Alamos Project site. Our team will conduct a detailed site visit, and observations, and provide a photographic inventory of the site and the surrounding area to document existing conditions. RICK will prepare a sufficiently detailed project description (PD) for use in the Initial Study, which will describe the basic characteristics of the project, including location, need for the project, project objectives, technical and environmental characteristics, project size, and project construction. RICK will prepare an Administrative Draft Initial Study that will include the project description, CEQA environmental checklist, mandatory findings, and a determination that a Mitigated Negative Declaration will be the appropriate CEQA document for the project.
In preparing the checklist, RICK will respond to the checklist questions for the various impact topics and add concise explanatory comments related to each question under each topic. The explanatory comments will identify any potentially significant impacts and mitigation measures that would reduce impacts to less-than- significant levels.
A brief discussion and analysis will be prepared for each topic addressed in the Initial Study. Specific tasks for the identified key issues are discussed below.
• Aesthetics. The Project site will alter the visual character of the proposed site by creating additional urban views of new recreational areas, parking areas, and associated structures. Visual impacts would be long-term land use alterations, however, would be temporary in nature, while associated construction activities are underway for the proposed soccer fields and associated structures. Upon the full buildout of the sports fields, the Sports Park Phase II would blend in with Phase I and offer the coordinated appearance of a major sports complex. RICK will review the previous EIR analysis and update the qualitative visual analysis for construction-related impacts and post-construction impacts associated with habitat/vegetation disturbance that may occur with the project. This scope does not assume the preparation of visual simulations.
• Air Quality/GHG. Findings from the Project’s Air Quality/GHG analysis will be summarized in the IS/MND.
• Agricultural Resources. Findings from the approved EIR will be incorporated by reference to assess agricultural resources.
• Biological Resources. Current information provided in the Biological Resources Report prepared by others will be used to complete the IS/MND and address any permanent direct, indirect, and temporary impacts to sensitive species, habitats, or jurisdictional waters/wetlands. • Cultural Resources. Findings from the approved EIR will be incorporated by reference to assess cultural resource impacts. New information provided for historical resources provided by Glen Lukos will be used to complete the IS/MND document.
• Geology and Seismicity. RICK will explain the geologic and seismic context of the Riverside region, surrounding environs, and project site, based on findings from the approved EIR. No new project- specific geotechnical and soil reports are assumed for the project.
Mr. Jarrett Ramaiya
August 13, 2024
• Hazardous Materials. Findings from the approved EIR will be incorporated by reference and updated as needed. This includes a search of all environmental databases for known hazardous release sites in the immediate area will be included in the analysis. These include Envirostor and Geotracker, as published by the Department of Toxic Substances Control. RICK will summarize any potential concerns with respect to any potential sites in the vicinity based on information available in the databases.
• Hydrology and Water Quality. RICK will use project-specific drainage and water quality reports to complete the IS checklist.
• Land Use and Planning. Findings from the approved EIR will be incorporated by reference to address land use. RICK will update the existing land uses at the site and in the vicinity and describe future land use designations for the vicinity included in the applicable Community Plan and/or General Plan. In addition, RICK will assess whether the proposed project will conflict with existing land uses, as well as whether the project would physically divide an existing community.
• Noise. Findings from the approved EIR will be incorporated by reference to address noise impacts.
Land use compatibility requirements of the applicable General Plan will be documented in the noise discussion. Other key issues will be the identification of noise-sensitive land uses or activities and the roads that would receive construction and operational traffic. The temporary impacts of construction noise on adjacent noise-sensitive land uses will also be qualitatively described.
Construction-related mitigation measures will be identified, as appropriate.
• Transportation. RICK will incorporate the results from RICK’s access study to describe how the proposed construction of the access roads and operations at the sports complex may affect existing access/egress points along adjacent roadways. Short-term construction-related impacts to traffic and local circulation will be addressed in the IS/MND.
• Lighting. RICK will incorporate the recommendations of the lighting consultant (City to hire) to identify impacts related to installation, operations, lighting focus, shielding, etc., and potential mitigation measures to reduce the potential impact to less than significant. Our analysis will consider the surrounding residential neighborhoods and the proposed adjacent open-space conservation areas.
• Other Issues. In general, other issues are anticipated to be fully analyzed in the IS/MND. All such issues will be discussed in sufficient detail to credibly demonstrate their lack of significance under CEQA, assuming this finding can be made. It appears unlikely that the proposed project will not result in any noticeable changes to mineral resources, public services, utilities, and service systems, or other environmental issues. All of these, however, will be addressed in the IS/MND.
TASK 5.2 PREPARE SCREENCHECK AND PUBLIC DRAFT IS/MND
RICK will make revisions or corrections to the Administrative Draft and provide the City with a screen- check version (PDF and Word files) of the Draft IS/MND and technical studies. A minimum of two screen check reviews of the IS/MND is assumed prior to the preparation of the Draft IS/MND document. It is assumed that the City will perform the distribution of the Draft IS/MND to all responsible agencies. RICK will prepare the Notice of Intent (NOI) and Notice of Availability (NOA).
Mr. Jarrett Ramaiya
August 13, 2024
TASK 5.2.1 DELIVERABLES
RICK will provide the following CEQA document deliverables:
1. RICK will provide electronic copies of the Draft IS/MND and appendices to the City for its use, including Appendices, in Adobe PDF format.
2. RICK will prepare and file a Notice of Intent (NOI) per State CEDQ Section 15072 along with the statutorily required number of copies of the Draft IS/MND with the State Clearinghouse. It is anticipated that this submission would include digital versions of the document. Rick will prepare and send out a Notice of Availability (NOA) to review the Draft IS/MND to a mailing list compiled with the help of City staff. City will pay any applicable fees (e.g., newspaper legal ad, Riverside County Clerk, etc.).
TASK 5.3 PREPARE RESPONSE TO COMMENTS
Following the review of the Public Draft IS/MND, the RICK team and the City will review and discuss the comments received and establish the appropriate approach and distribution of responsibility for preparing specific responses to comments. RICK will produce a response to the comments document for one round of review and comment by the City, after which the document will be finalized. This scope of work assumes RICK will prepare responses to no more than 25 substantive public comments on the Draft IS/MND. This scope assumes RICK will prepare one (1) screen check version and one final version of the Response to Comments.
TASK 5.4 PREPARE FINAL IS/MND AND MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM Upon completion of the response to the comments document, RICK will prepare the Final IS/MND, incorporating any text edits or revisions to the Public Draft IS/MND. RICK will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) in compliance with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, CEQA Guidelines Section 15097 for inclusion as an appendix to the Final IS/MND. For any significant impact identified in the Final IS/MND, the MMRP will be a matrix and describe the required mitigation and the responsible parties, tasks, and schedule for monitoring mitigation compliance, including a distinction of applicable phase, if necessary. RICK will provide an electronic screen check copy of the MMRP for City review. One round of review will be incorporated for the MMRP.
The City will conduct all public notices, prepare the Notice of Determination (NOD), distribute the Final MND, and be responsible for filing the NOD at the County Clerk within five days after the adoption of the Final MND.

The Client will be billed monthly for each item as the work progresses and the net amount shall be due within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the invoice in the Client’s office.
ASSUMPTIONS
Not included in either the above scope of work or fees are services that may be necessary for the following items:
1. Additional rounds of City staff comments. This scope and fee assume three cycles of review and City staff comment. If additional rounds of review preparation and submittal are required, an augment to this scope and fee would be required.
2. The Client will provide access to the site, electronic base map files (CAD, GIS, etc.), and all applicable reports and maps (in an editable electronic format) prepared previously.
3. RICK may contact the Client’s other consultants who prepared technical studies for the project to ask questions and obtain additional information, as necessary. Any required additions or revisions to these consultants’ reports are not included within the Scope of Services required of RICK in this proposal.
4. It is assumed that RICK will not be responsible for printing hard copies of the technical appendices that were prepared by other consultants; these are assumed Mr. Jarrett Ramaiya
August 13, 2024
to be printed by the preparers of those technical studies when requested by the City. These technical study preparers will also provide RICK with a .pdf version of their reports for incorporation into the required CD packages.
5. Technical studies, focused BUOW surveys, construction monitoring, permit applications/processing, and reports not identified in this scope (“additional work”) are not included within the scope of services required of RICK under this proposal.
6. RICK has made our best assumptions based on experience and current understanding of the project. Should any of the assumptions listed in the scope of services prove incorrect, an amendment to the scope of services and cost estimate may be required.
7. Once preparation of the technical studies and/or IS has begun, no changes to the project design will occur such that substantive revisions to the project description or report graphics, or re‐analysis of any environmental issue will be required. If changes to the site plan occur during the preparation of the technical analyses, a contract augment may be required.
8. The project applicant is responsible for payment of permit fees and CEQA processing fees to the City and other agencies.
9. The traffic study excludes a safety assessment.
10. The civil design scope excludes final engineering design, geotechnical engineering, and structural engineering.
11. SWPPP / Construction General Permit – Not anticipated to be required at conceptual level.
12. The drainage plan excludes off-site drainage and stormwater quality design/analysis; HMP continuous simulation modeling, and detention analysis.
