This limitation will apply regardless of the cause of action or legal theory pled or asserted. The fee charged Client for the Services to be rendered pursuant to this Agreement has been established with regard to the legal effect of this Limitation of Liability section. Increased limits of liability can be negotiated for an increased fee. d) Except for work performed or provided by those subcontractors or subconsultants retained directly by GeoTek for whom GeoTek is legally liable, GeoTek assumes no responsibility or liability for work, testing, design(s) or recommendations performed or provided by others including, without limitation, other contractors, subcontractors, or consultants of any tier. e) The parties understand and agree that Client’s sole and exclusive claim, demand, suit, judgment and/or remedy for any claims arising from or in any way related to the performance of the Services provided under this Agreement will be directed and/or asserted only against GeoTek and not against any of GeoTek’s shareholders, engineers, employees, officers, or directors. 12) JOBSITE SAFETY. Neither the professional activities of GeoTek nor the presence of GeoTek or its employees and subconsultants at a construction/project site, will relieve the General Contractor of its obligations, duties and responsibilities including, but not limited to, construction means, methods, sequence, techniques or procedures necessary for performing, superintending and coordinating the Work in accordance with the contract documents and any health or safety precautions required by any regulatory agencies. GeoTek and its personnel have no authority to exercise any control over any construction contractor or its employees in connection with their work or any health or safety programs or procedures. The Client agrees that the General Contractor will be solely responsible for Jobsite safety, and warrants that this intent will be carried out in the Client’s contract with the General Contractor.

RE: 2024-RFP-26 Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design (City of Palm Desert) Dear Mr. Krumwiede:

ECORP Consulting, Inc. (ECORP) is pleased to provide Architerra Design Group (Client) with this proposal for environmental services in support of a project to design and provide construction support for multiple parks and trailheads within the City of Palm Desert (City). The City’s many parks and trails are used by residents and visitors for recreation, sight-seeing, and the enjoyment of nature. Providing opportunity for high-quality outdoor experiences is a priority for the City, and several park and trailhead facilities have been identified for improvements. Two of the parks will need environmental services by an outside consultant – Homme-Adams Park (trailhead) and Randall Henderson Trailhead, both of which are located on the perimeter of the City limits near extensive natural areas.

1.0 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Palm Desert (City) proposes the development of several parks, including Homme-Adams and Randall Henderson Trailhead, for the purpose of allowing the general public better accommodation during recreational activities. Both parks are located adjacent to the foothills surrounding Palm Desert and consist of largely undeveloped lands with some parking and natural trail areas being the primary features.

Homme-Adams Park, located on 27 acres generally on Thrush Road, serves as trailhead for the Cahuilla Hills Trail System. The Randall Henderson Trailhead is directly adjacent to lands of the Bureau of Land Management Santa Rosa Hills and provides access to a large network of trails. We have assumed a total of 25 acres to survey for the design for this facility.

All seven of the Projects would be subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), but most of them are expected to only require a Categorical Exemption, which would be conducted by the City. The appropriate environmental document for both Homme-Adams Park and Randall Henderson Trailhead is likely to be an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) with supporting technical studies.

ECORP’s scope of work, cost, and schedule for these services are provided below in accordance with the typical process and measures stipulated within the RFP for the Project (2024-RFP-26), information provided at the pre-bid meeting for the Project and subsequent addenda. To the RFP. 748

750
2024-RFP-26 Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design – ECORP Consulting, Inc. Bid (P25-108) Task 1B – Prepare and Distribute Draft IS/MND and Notices After receipt of one (1) set of integrated comments on the Administrative Draft IS/MND from the City, we will revise the IS/MND accordingly. ECORP will provide five (5) bound copies and one (1) electronic copy of the environmental document to the City for internal use. ECORP will mail twenty (20) hard copies of the Notice of Intent (NOI) document to addressees on the mailing list, which will include the City website where the environmental documentation and notices for the Project can be viewed online. ECORP will electronically file the environmental document and corresponding notices with the State Clearinghouse and provide an electronic copy to the City for their website. We have assumed that the City and ECORP will work together to assemble the mailing list. ECORP will prepare the following notices as required by CEQA:
♦ Notice of Intent (NOI) to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration ♦ Notice of Completion (State Clearinghouse Cover)
♦ Environmental Summary Form (for the State Clearinghouse) ECORP will prepare, publish, file, and distribute a Notice of Intent (NOI) to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration. One copy of each of these notices will be filed with the Los Angeles County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse. ECORP will also distribute the NOI to responsible and trustee agencies as well as other interested parties. One electronic copy of each notice will be provided to the City. The NOI is required by CEQA to be either posted on-site, mailed to the surrounding property owners, or published in a newspaper of general circulation. For costing purposes, it has been assumed that ECORP will arrange for the NOI to be published in a newspaper of general circulation. Newspaper fees are included in the cost estimate.

Task 1B Deliverables:

Task 1C Deliverables:
♦ Electronic submittal of the Administrative Final IS/MND and MMRP ♦ Five (5) bound copies and one (1) electronic copy of the Final IS/MND and MMRP ♦ Notice of Determination
Task 2 – Technical Studies
Task 2A – Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment The assessment of air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will quantify short-term and long-term emissions generated by the proposed improvements associated with the Homme-Adams Park and Randell Henderson Trailhead. ECORP will employ the most up-to-date version of the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). CalEEMod is a statewide land use emissions computer model designed to quantify pollutant emissions associated with construction and operations from a variety of land use projects. To the extent available, construction-related emissions modeling will be based on Project-specific information provided by the Project proponent (e.g., construction schedules, activities, and equipment to be used). Project criteria air pollutant emissions will be compared to the thresholds of significance promulgated by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), including SCAQMD’s recommended Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs). LSTs were developed in response to SCAQMD Governing Boards' Environmental Justice Enhancement Initiative (I-4). Additional CEQA Guidelines Appendix G thresholds will also be evaluated, including the potential for the Proposed Project to expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, to cause objectionable odors, or to impede attainment of the current SCAQMD Air Quality Management Plan. Project GHG emissions will be assessed against the SCAQMD numeric bright‐line threshold of 3,000 metric tons of CO2e annually.

ECORP proposes to evaluate potential air quality and GHG-related impacts in a technical report.

Where appropriate, the analysis would be supported by modeling documentation, which would be included as an appendix to the technical report. ECORP will complete the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment within 3 to 6 weeks of receiving a notice-to-proceed and all needed documentation, such as a project description, site plan, and traffic study if prepared. 752
2024-RFP-26 Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design – ECORP Consulting, Inc. Bid (P25-108) Task 2A Deliverables:
♦ One (1) electronic version of the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment Technical Report.

Task 2B – Energy Consumption Assessment
ECORP proposes to analyze Project energy consumption in a technical report where potential impacts related to Project energy consumption will be assessed against the Office of Planning and Research’s proposed standards of significance: i.e., whether the Project result in the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy, or wasteful use of energy resources; and, whether the Project would conflict with an applicable plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency. There are no established thresholds of significance, statewide or locally, for what constitutes a wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary consumption of energy for proposed park/trailhead improvements.

Therefore, for the purposes of this analysis, the amount of energy necessary for Project construction and post-construction operations will be quantified and compared to that consumed in Riverside County as a whole. Where appropriate, the analysis would be supported by modeling documentation, which would be included as an appendix to the report. ECORP will complete the Energy Consumption Assessment within 3 to 6 weeks of receiving a notice-to-proceed and all needed documentation, such as a project description, site plan, and traffic study if prepared.

Task 2B Deliverables:
♦ One (1) electronic version of the Energy Consumption Assessment Technical Report.

Task 2C – Noise Impact Analysis
The evaluation of noise impacts associated with the Project will be completed by staff members who are noise experts. The applicable noise and land use compatibility criteria for the Project Area will be discussed as they will be the basis for the Project impact determination and whether mitigation is necessary. Since the Project is proposing improvements to existing recreational facilities and postconstruction operations would not result in a wholly new land use, an onsite baseline noise survey is not proposed. Instead, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard “Quantities and Procedures for Description and Measurement of Environmental Sound – Part 3”, which provides a table of approximate background sound levels based on land use and population density, will be referenced in order to provide a representative characterization of the existing ambient noise environment. Additionally, Figure 7.1 of the City General Plan Noise Chapter, which identifies traffic noise contours throughout the City, will be referenced. The combination of the ANSI Standard reference and City General Plan will provide a representative characterization of the existing ambient noise environment.

Construction would occur during implementation of the Proposed Project. Noise levels from construction sources will be analyzed using the Federal Highway Administration Roadway 753
2024-RFP-26 Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design – ECORP Consulting, Inc. Bid (P25-108) Construction Noise Model, based on the anticipated equipment to be used. In order to evaluate the potential health-related effects (physical damage to the ear) from construction noise, construction noise will be evaluated in terms of hourly equivalent continuous noise levels (Leq) and the frequency of occurrence at nearby land uses of each of the Project sites. In addition to construction noise, an analysis of vibration impacts will be prepared based on the California Department of Transportation’s vibration analysis guidance.

The evaluation of the Project’s contribution to noise increases over existing conditions will be addressed. Project implementation would result in additional non-transportation noise sources.

Project onsite noise is anticipated to largely be the same as generated under existing conditions. The analysis of onsite noise will quantify predicted noise levels using standard equations and calculation protocols. Another source of noise associated with the Project would be offsite automobile traffic.

According to the 2020 Caltrans Technical Noise Supplement to the Traffic Noise Analysis Protocol, doubling of traffic on a roadway is required in order to increase noise to a perceptible level for humans. In the case that traffic is predicted to double the amount of existing traffic on vicinity roadways, offsite mobile source noise from vehicular traffic will be quantified using the U.S. Federal Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA-RD-77-108). Otherwise, offsite traffic noise will be addressed qualitatively.

ECORP proposes to evaluate potential noise-related impacts in a technical report. The analysis will be supported by modeling documentation, which would be included as an appendix to the report.

ECORP will complete the Noise Impact Assessment within 3 to 6 weeks of receiving a notice-toproceed and all needed documentation, such as a project description, site plan, and traffic study if prepared.

Task 2C Deliverables:
♦ One (1) electronic version of the Noise Impact Assessment Technical Report.

Task 2D – Biological Resources Assessment Report
ECORP will conduct background research to help characterize the current conditions within the Project site. The research will entail a search of public databases, such as the CDFW California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), the California Native Plant Society’s (CNPS) online Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants of California (Inventory), the National Wetland Inventory (NWI), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Critical Habitat Portal, CDFW Biogeographical Information Observation System (BIOS), and the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s (NRCS) online Web Soil Survey.

Because the property is located within the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) area, ECORP will research the plan to determine requirements for surveys, avoidance of specific habitat types, and other measures. These stipulations will be discussed, and any required measures (if applicable) will be incorporated into the report. 754
2024-RFP-26 Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design – ECORP Consulting, Inc. Bid (P25-108) To characterize the biological resources on the property, ECORP biologists will conduct a field visit to the Project site. This field reconnaissance will be conducted on foot, and at a time of day that is conducive to making wildlife observations. Using aerial photography, the biologists will verify the current vegetation communities and habitats on the Project site. The biologists will generate a list of plant and wildlife species observed during the reconnaissance of the site, and record existing biological conditions, including observations of sensitive species, using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, field notes, and digital photography.

Following the completion of the biological reconnaissance survey, ECORP will prepare a report that includes descriptions of the Project site location and Project description, existing biological conditions, survey methods, results of the background research and site reconnaissance, and locations and descriptions of sensitive species observed or detected. The report will also contain site photographs; location and vegetation map exhibits; descriptions of existing anthropogenic influences and disturbances; sensitive species habitat and locations map exhibit; field notes and data sheets; and a list of references. The report will provide information about the plant and wildlife communities on and adjacent to the Project site that could be affected by Project activities. If any focused surveys for sensitive resources are determined necessary following this biological assessment, recommendations for those surveys will be included in the report.

Task 2D Deliverables:
♦ Draft Biological Resources Assessment Report in PDF format. ♦ Final Biological Resources Assessment Report in PDF format.

Task 2E – Cultural Resources Inventory Report
ECORP will conduct a cultural resources inventory of the study area, located in the City of Palm Desert. All work will be conducted by, or under the direct supervision of, a Registered Professional Archaeologist, who meets the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards for prehistoric and historical archaeology.

This scope of work includes a records search with the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) of the California Office of Historic Preservation at the South Coastal Information Center (SCIC), which includes a review of the state archaeological site files, the National Register of Historic Places, and other databases that catalogue significant events and resources in local, state, or national history. Information will be obtained on previously recorded archaeological sites and cultural resource management studies in and within 1 mile of the project area. ECORP will also contact the Native American Heritage Commission to request a sacred lands file search to determine whether any sacred sites have been recorded on the property. Additionally, ECORP will contact local historical societies, if any, to seek additional information on the location of the Project Area.

ECORP will complete an intensive field survey of the entire Project Area. The exact acreage of the Project Area has yet to be determined, therefore ECORP assumes the final acreage will not exceed 25 755
2024-RFP-26 Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design – ECORP Consulting, Inc. Bid (P25-108) acres. ECORP will survey all accessible portions of the Project Area using pedestrian transect intervals spaced 10 to 15 meters apart, where possible. The Project Area will be examined for evidence of cultural resources, including pre-contact and historic-period (i.e., over 50 years of age) cultural deposits and features. If any resources are identified in the Project Area, they must be recorded and mapped in accordance with the standards of the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP); however, for costing purposes, ECORP assumes that no cultural resources will need to be recorded. A separate scope and cost will be prepared for any recording of resources and evaluation of eligibility to be included in the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) or the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) based on the level of effort required.

ECORP will prepare an inventory report that follows the California Office of Historic Preservation’s recommended content and format. The report will provide the historic context, methods, results, and recommendations for appropriate findings. ECORP will respond to one round of non-conflicting comments and prepare a finalized copy of the report.

Task 2E Deliverables:
♦ Draft Cultural Resources Inventory Report in PDF format. ♦ Final Cultural Resources Inventory Report in PDF format.

Task 2F – AB 52 Consultation Assistance
ECORP will assist the City of Palm Desert in consulting with California Native American tribes under Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52). At the direction and discretion of the City, ECORP may use this budget to assist in drafting consultation letters, coordinate tribal meetings, maintain the AB 52 administrative record, author CEQA sections, and provide technical support to the agency in determining whether or not Tribal Cultural Resources will be significantly impacted by the project.

This cost estimate is provided on a time and materials basis. If the consultation requests from the tribes or services requested from the City will require more effort that will exceed the budget provided herein, then a contract change order would be required to complete the scope and AB 52 consultation.

Task 2F Deliverables:
♦ Draft AB 52 notification, consultation initiation, consultation conclusion letters, and correspondence log.
756
2024-RFP-26 Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design – ECORP Consulting, Inc. Bid (P25-108) Task 2G – Paleontological Resources Memo
ECORP will conduct a paleontological record search through Western Science Center (WSC), Hemet, CA. The record search results will detail the project site’s sensitivity to producing paleontological resources as well as any recorded paleontological resources from within the Project area and from within a 1-mile radius. In addition to the record search, a detailed desktop literature review will be conducted on the paleontology of the project area. Information about previous surveys and previously recorded paleontological resources will be obtained for the project area.

A qualified paleontologist will review the results of the record search obtained from the WSC. Based on the observations and recommendations outlined in the search, a paleontological resources assessment report will be drafted discussing the geologic units found within the Project site and within a 1-mile radius, particularly those units that are sensitive to producing paleontological resources. In addition, a list of paleontological resources that have been documented and curated at the museum from the Project site area and vicinity will be listed. Finally, if there is a likelihood of encountering paleontological resources during project construction, the letter report will recommend mitigation measures to follow during construction activities.

Task 2G Deliverables:
♦ Electronic copy of the Final Paleontological Resources Memo Task 2H – Traffic Study
As a subconsultant to ECORP, KOA will prepare a Traffic Study Technical Memorandum for the Project site. This study will include both a Trip Generation Analysis and a VMT Screening Assessment in support of the environmental studies. During coordination, information will be requested from the Client including but not limited to the project description, site plan, and any data, analyses, documents or other information available that is relevant to the proposed project and surrounding project area.

It is envisioned that communication with the Client, project team, and City staff will be primarily through email and short conference calls. If attendance of in-person meetings is requested by the Client, KOA can attend in-person meetings for an additional fee on a per-meeting basis as described in the Cost Estimate section below.

KOA will follow the guidelines of the City of Palm Desert Transportation Analysis Guidelines for Level of Service/Vehicle Miles Traveled (December 2020; adopted August 2022; the “City’s TA Guidelines”).

The trip generation analysis will include a Project Description and a summary of the anticipated project trip generation, based on the size of the project site and per the latest ITE. If trip rates from ITE Trip Generation Manual are not available based on the project description of the trailhead, then the trip generation will be estimated based on the proposed parking provisions. 757
2024-RFP-26 Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design – ECORP Consulting, Inc. Bid (P25-108) Per the City’s TA Guidelines, the following screening criteria are used to determine when a project is required to prepare a full VMT analysis. A development project meeting any of the screening criteria listed below can be assumed to have a less than-significant VMT impact and does not require additional VMT analysis:

1. Small Project

2. High-Quality Transit Area (HQTA)

3. Local-Serving Retail

4. Affordable Housing

5. Local Essential Service

6. Map-Based Screening (maps provided in the City’s TA Guidelines)

7. Redevelopment Projects
Under criteria 5, Local Essential Service, the TA Guidelines include “Local or Community Parks”.

Therefore, Homme-Adams Park is likely to screen out as a park. Using the City of Palm Desert Transportation Analysis Guidelines for Level of Service/Vehicle Miles Traveled, and the trip generation estimates developed as part of Task 2, KOA will conduct a VMT screening analysis for the project to determine whether additional VMT analysis is required.

The Traffic Study including the Trip Generation Analysis and VMT Screening Assessment for the Randall Henderson Trailhead Project will be documented in a Technical Memorandum for submission to the Client for review. The Traffic Study will be updated, if necessary, based on up to one round of comments from the Client.

KOA will prepare a Final Technical Memorandum based on up to one round of comments from the City of Palm Desert, if necessary.

Task 2 – Technical Studies
Task 2A – Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment The assessment of air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will quantify short-term and long-term emissions generated by the proposed improvements associated with the Homme-Adams Park and Randell Henderson Trailhead. ECORP will employ the most up-to-date version of the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). CalEEMod is a statewide land use emissions computer model designed to quantify pollutant emissions associated with construction and operations from a variety of land use projects. To the extent available, construction-related emissions modeling will be based on Project-specific information provided by the Project proponent (e.g., construction schedules, activities, and equipment to be used). Project criteria air pollutant emissions will be compared to the thresholds of significance promulgated by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), including SCAQMD’s recommended Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs). LSTs were developed in response to SCAQMD Governing Boards' Environmental Justice Enhancement Initiative (I-4). Additional CEQA Guidelines Appendix G thresholds will also be evaluated, including the potential for the Proposed Project to expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, to cause objectionable odors, or to impede attainment of the current SCAQMD Air Quality Management Plan. Project GHG emissions will be assessed against the SCAQMD numeric bright‐line threshold of 3,000 metric tons of CO2e annually.

ECORP proposes to evaluate potential air quality and GHG-related impacts in a technical report.

Task 2C Deliverables:
♦ One (1) electronic version of the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment Technical Report.

Task 2B – Energy Consumption Assessment

Task 2D – Biological Resources Assessment Report
A biological resources data base search will be conducted for the project area using public data bases including the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP) website, California Natural Diversity Data Base, and the California Native Plant Society online data base. The search will identify the approximate locations of known or expected sensitive biological resources and habitats located within or near the project areas. ECORP conducted work on several projects in and near the Project Area, including for the CV Link construction, and will use knowledge gained from those projects as well. Also, any existing studies for the area made available to ECORP by the City of Coachella will be reviewed.

ECORP will analyze the Project within the context of the CVMSHCP. The CVMSHCP protects natural habitat, plants and animals within the Coachella Valley and also identifies conservation goals for projects located within the plan area.

Once the data base search and analysis has been completed, ECORP will complete a field survey of the Project Area (a total of 4.7 acres). Biological resources that are known from or potentially occur on the property will be searched for in particular during the survey. Habitats and vegetation communities will be mapped. Representative photographs will be taken to document site conditions at the time of the survey.

A full list of plant and animal species will be recorded during the survey. If any sensitive biological 763
2024-RFP-26 Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design – ECORP Consulting, Inc. Bid (P25-108) resources are found within the project area, their location will be recorded and the resource will be discussed in the technical report.

A biological resources technical report will be prepared to document the methods and results of the data base search and field survey. The report will conform to the information needs for review under CEQA and will include a summary of the biological setting of the project area, brief project description, discussion of survey methods, and will describe the biological resources within the property in detail as well as the requirements of the CVMSHCP. The report will also present recommendations for further work, if needed, including focused surveys for sensitive species or jurisdictional delineations.

ECORP will conduct a paleontological record search through Western Science Center (WSC), Hemet, CA. The record search results will detail the project site’s sensitivity to producing paleontological resources as well as any recorded paleontological resources from within the Project area and from within a 1-mile radius. In addition to the record search, a detailed desktop literature review will be conducted on the paleontology of the project area. Information about previous surveys and previously recorded paleontological resources will be obtained for the project area.

A qualified paleontologist will review the results of the record search obtained from the WSC. Based on the observations and recommendations outlined in the search, a paleontological resources assessment report will be drafted discussing the geologic units found within the Project site and within a 1-mile radius, particularly those units that are sensitive to producing paleontological resources. In addition, a list of paleontological resources that have been documented and curated at the museum from the Project site area and vicinity will be listed. Finally, if there is a likelihood of 765
2024-RFP-26 Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design – ECORP Consulting, Inc. Bid (P25-108) encountering paleontological resources during project construction, the letter report will recommend mitigation measures to follow during construction activities.

Per the City’s TA Guidelines, the following screening criteria are used to determine when a project is required to prepare a full VMT analysis. A development project meeting any of the screening criteria listed below can be assumed to have a less than-significant VMT impact and does not require additional VMT analysis:

1. Small Project

2. High-Quality Transit Area (HQTA)

3. Local-Serving Retail

4. Affordable Housing

5. Local Essential Service

6. Map-Based Screening (maps provided in the City’s TA Guidelines)

7. Redevelopment Projects
766
2024-RFP-26 Park and Trailhead Engineering and Design – ECORP Consulting, Inc. Bid (P25-108) Under criteria 5, Local Essential Service, the TA Guidelines include “Local or Community Parks”.

Therefore, Randall Henderson Trailhead is likely to screen out as a park. Using the City of Palm Desert Transportation Analysis Guidelines for Level of Service/Vehicle Miles Traveled, and the trip generation estimates developed as part of Task 2, KOA will conduct a VMT screening analysis for the project to determine whether additional VMT analysis is required.

KOA will prepare a Final Technical Memorandum based on up to one round of comments from the City of Palm Desert, if necessary.

3.0 SCHEDULE
ECORP is confident that we can meet the expected time frame of the completion of the IS/MND according to the schedule below, for each of the parks. The respective starting point is assumed to be different for each park, based on the results of public comment and the design schedule, but the time frame from that starting point should be very similar.

This schedule can be modified based on the needs of the Client or the City. We propose to prepare the Administrative Draft IS/MND concurrently with the technical studies to stay on schedule. AB 52 Native American consultation (if requested by one or more tribes) will need to be initiated prior to public circulation of the Draft IS/MND and the start of the 30-day public review period and consultation must be completed prior to the adoption of the Final IS/MND by the City Council. Please note that delays may occur as it pertains to acquiring cultural records search requests from the Eastern Information Center located at the University of California, Riverside campus. 767

Project Description
The City has undertaken renovation of specific play areas Citywide. Rather than complete demolition of entire playgrounds, the approach is to replace within the existing footprint of each play area. There is minor concrete removal and replacement occurring dependent on condition of paving. This approach allowed the City stretch limited budgets and spend their dollars on play equipment rather than site work. Each play area has been designed with community input that HAI solicited during play area workshops. Some of the play areas have been themed such as Westminster Park’s all-inclusive playground and Baseball theme. The Park is Home to the Challenger Little League Team. An organization that provides opportunity for disabled children to play baseball. Wheelchair access into the play structures if provided with ramps. Margie Rice Park is located across from a County Fire House and the area children asked for a Firehouse themed playground.

Others include a Castle themed structure at Newcastle Park (bidding) and Marine theme at Sigler Park.
