In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 16.1, Consultant shall not be entitled to any additional compensation over that provided herein; nor shall Consultant be entitled to payment for any alleged damages or injuries (including lost opportunity damages) purportedly caused by the termination of this Agreement by Town pursuant hereto.
16.2. Consultant Termination. Consultant may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to Town only for good cause. Consultant’s written notice of termination shall contain a full explanation of the facts and circumstances constituting good cause. In the event of termination, all notes, sketches, computations, drawings and specifications, or other data, whether complete or not, produced through the time of Town's last payment shall be relinquished to Town. Town may, at its own expense, make copies or extract information from any such notes, sketches, computations, drawings, and specifications, or other data whether complete or not.
16.3. Consultant Failure to Perform. Should Consultant fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder, within the time and in the manner provided or otherwise violate any of the terms of this Agreement, Town may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such termination, stating the reasons for such termination in such event. Consultant shall be compensated as above, provided, however, there shall be deducted from such amount the amount of damage if any, sustained by Town by virtue of Consultant's breach of this Agreement.
16.4. Compensation Following Termination. Upon termination, Consultant shall be paid based on the work satisfactorily performed at the time of termination. In no event shall Consultant be entitled to receive more than the amount that would be paid to Consultant for the full performance of the services required by this Agreement. Town shall have the benefit of such work as may have been completed up to the time of such termination.
16.5. Remedies. Town retains any and all available legal and equitable remedies for Consultant’s breach of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
April 28, 2025
Brad Raulston and Aaron Hecock
Town of Yountville
6550 Yount Street
Yountville, CA 94599
Subject: Yountville Commons Permitting and CEQA Scope of Work Dear Brad and Aaron,
This document describes the scope of work that PlaceWorks will implement to assist the Town of Yountville in permitting and performing an evaluation under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Yountville Commons project.
Understanding of the Project
The project site is a single 6.8-acre parcel that formerly housed the Yountville Elementary School.
The elementary school was closed in June 2020, and the site was purchased by the Town from the Napa Valley Unified School District in April 2024.
The proposed project consists of the following components:
Demolition of the former school administration building. Development of a civic promenade along Yount Street featuring up to 8,000 square feet of ground floor space for as-yet undetermined civic uses such as a possible museum, small medical facility or artist studios and housing units above. Creation of a mixed-use “locals’ hub” featuring ground floor retail space, possibly to include a local food hub, with residential units above the retail uses. Construction of a total of up to 150 units of short- and long-term housing in the buildings of the civic promenade, the locals’ hub and a cluster of housing on the southern portion of the site. At least 72 of the units will be affordable to meet the Town’s assigned Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
Relocation of the recently-created dog park to the southeast corner of the site along Finnell Road near Hopper Creek.
Retention and new landscaping of a portion of the ballfield to create an informal park area. Development of a three-lane exercise pool near Schmitt Hall, along with pool locker rooms to be added to the Schmitt Hall building.
Approximately 125 parking spaces in two lots, which will replace the existing parking lot on site and add additional parking as well.
Retention of Yountville Fit, Schmitt Hall, the farmstand garden and the farmstand.
April 28, 2025 | Page 2
Scope of Work
PlaceWorks and its subconsultants will conduct the following tasks for the project:
Task 1. Project Management
PlaceWorks will manage the project by staying in contact with Town staff, providing updates on our work as needed, submitting monthly invoices, and attending up to five in-person staff-level meetings.
Task 2. Project Description
PlaceWorks will review the project description already prepared by PlaceWorks with Town staff and make any necessary edits to it.
Task 3. Permitting
PlaceWorks will assist the Town with permitting for the project, including the following:
Advising on creation of a parcel map for subdivision of the site. The parcel map itself will be prepared by others, probably a civil engineering firm.
Developing one or more amendments to the Town’s existing Zoning Code or developing new base or overlay zones to accommodate the project.
Preparing a zoning map of the site.
Attending one hearing each of the Planning Commission and Town Council to approve the subdivision and zoning maps.
Approval of the subdivision map, the new zoning and the project itself cannot occur until the CEQA document described in Task 4 is certified by the Town.
Task 4. CEQA Analysis
PlaceWorks has reviewed the Town’s existing General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and believes that this project can be cleared through an Addendum to that document. PlaceWorks’ efforts on preparing the Addendum will be as follows:
4.1 Environmental Review
PlaceWorks will review all environmental issues covered in the Yountville General Plan EIR to document how any potential environmental effects of the project will be identified and mitigated due to existing Town policies, State and federal regulations, and mitigation measures in the General Plan EIR.
This work will include three technical studies to be conducted by outside subconsultants working as subconsultants to PlaceWorks, which are attached to this scope:
April 28, 2025 | Page 3
Environmental Collaborative will conduct a biological resource assessment of the site to identify any sensitive resources, regulatory implications, and recommendations to avoid or minimize potential adverse impacts, particularly to the Hopper Creek riparian corridor. ECORP will conduct a cultural resources inventory and evaluation of the site to identify any cultural resources within the project site, including both a site assessment for archaeological artifacts as well as an evaluation of the historical significance of the 1949 school building to be demolished.
Padre Associates will conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of the site to identify the potential hazardous materials to exist on the project site and provide recommendations regarding them.
4.2 Addendum Preparation
Using the information assembled in Task 4.1, PlaceWorks will prepare an Addendum to the Yountville General Plan EIR to cover the project as described in the Project Description to be finalized in Task 2. The Addendum is expected to include the following contents:
A brief description of the existing General Plan and its certified EIR. The project description developed in Task 2.
Documentation of each of the potential environmental effects of the newly proposed project and how these effects would be addressed by existing Town policies, State and federal regulations, and mitigation measures in the General Plan EIR, as developed in Task 4.1. An explanation of why a subsequent EIR wasn't required, with references to substantial evidence as developed in Task 4.1.
4.3 Addendum Certification Hearings
PlaceWorks staff will attend one hearing each of the Planning Commission and Town Council to approve the Addendum.
4.4 Notice of Determination
Within five days of approval of the project and the Addendum, PlaceWorks will prepare the Notice of Determination (NOD) to be filed by the Town at the Napa County Clerk’s Office and posted to the Town’s website. PlaceWorks will submit the NOD to the State Clearinghouse via CEQAnet. We have not included any filing fees since the Addendum should not require the payment of California Department of Fish and Wildlife fees.
Task 5. Additional Assistance
As an optional task, PlaceWorks will be available to assist on other aspects of project planning, permitting and review, on a time-and-materials basis outside of the budget that accommodates Tasks 1 through 4.
April 28, 2025 | Page 4
Proposed Schedule
Our proposed schedule is provided below. We anticipate that the Addendum to the entire project can be completed in seven months.
Estimated Costs
As shown in the table on the next page, our estimated cost to complete the scope of work described in this proposal is $151,455. The PlaceWorks team will complete this scope of work for a fixed fee not to exceed this amount. PlaceWorks bills for its work on a time-and-materials basis with monthly invoices.

Subject: Proposal to Provide Cultural Resources Support Services for the Yountville Commons Project, Town of Yountville, Napa County, California Greetings:
ECORP Consulting, Inc. is pleased to provide this proposal for cultural resources support services for the Yountville Commons Project, located at 6554 Yount Street in Yountville, Napa County, California.
The Scope of Work and Cost Estimate below provides the technical approach and costs proposed by ECORP for this effort. Important costing assumptions follow.
SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1 – Cultural Resources Inventory and Evaluation
ECORP will conduct a cultural resources inventory of the Project Area as described above. The cultural resources inventory will be conducted under the direct supervision of a Registered Professional Archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for prehistoric and historic archaeology. This study will be conducted pursuant to compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
The scope of work for the cultural resources inventory includes a records search of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) and literature review for the Project Area. ECORP will request a records search of the CHRIS from the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) located at California State University-Sonoma. Due to the high number of historic-era structures in the town of Yountville, the CHRIS records search will identify the locations and extent of previous surveys conducted within 0.25 mile of the Project Area (rather than 0.5 mile) and will determine if there are any known cultural resources (i.e., pre-contact [prehistoric] or historic archaeological sites or historicperiod features) located within or near the Project Area. In addition, the records search will identify resources listed on or determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and/or the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) located within or near the Project Area.
ECORP will also request a search of the Sacred Lands File from the NAHC. The Sacred Lands File search will identify any known sensitive or sacred Native American resources located within or near the Project Area. It should be noted that the Sacred Lands File search will not constitute consultation in compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 18, Assembly Bill (AB) 52, or Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act Madeline Miller
April 18, 2025
P25-232
2525 Warren Drive ● Rocklin, CA 95677 ● Tel: (916) 782-9100 ● Fax: (916) 782-9134 ● www.ecorpconsulting.com (NHPA). SB 18, AB 52, and Section 106 consultation are separate processes from cultural resources technical studies and are not included in this scope of work.
ECORP will complete an intensive field survey of the Project Area using pedestrian transect intervals spaced 10 to 15 meters apart, where possible. An ECORP archaeologist will closely examine the Project Area for surface evidence of cultural materials, including pre-contact and historic-period (i.e., over 50 years of age) cultural deposits and features. ECORP assumes no resources will be recorded within the Project Area as a result of the field survey. If any resources are identified in the Project Area, they will be documented and mapped in detail in accordance with the standards of the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP).
Based on preliminary review and background provided by the client for the project, ECORP has identified that the elementary school, built in 1948, exceeds the age threshold (older than 50 years) to be considered a cultural resource. Pursuant to compliance with CEQA, and Section 106, ECORP will document and evaluate the school against the eligibility criteria of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). The evaluation will be incorporated into the cultural resources report to support the CEQA document.
ECORP will prepare a cultural resources inventory report that documents the methods and results of the CHRIS records search, Sacred Lands File search, field survey, and evaluation of the elementary school. The report will include a brief summary of the environmental setting and cultural background of the Project Area, will describe any cultural resources within the Project Area in detail. The report will also present recommendations for further work, if needed. All correspondence with the NAHC will be provided as an attachment to the report. If cultural resources are identified inside the Project Area as part of the inventory, the report will provide brief descriptions only and ECORP will provide a contract amendment proposal to record, map, and evaluate their significance under state and federal law.
SCHEDULE
ECORP will submit the deliverables to the Client within 90 calendar days of the receipt of a notice to proceed and all required data needs. This schedule may be affected and/or delayed by third parties, including the California Historical Resources Information System. ECORP will strive to provide the deliverable sooner than anticipated, but reserves the right to use the entire timeframe specified herein, subject to the stated assumptions.
COST ESTIMATE
The cost will be billed on a TIME AND MATERIALS basis. The cost estimates to complete the work are presented in the following table. ECORP reserves the right to flex the budget between and among line items and comparable staff to reflect the actual distribution of effort required.

Costing Assumptions
♦ The cost proposal is presented on a Time-and-Materials basis. ♦ Cost and schedule estimates are based on our best judgment of the requirements known at the time of the proposal and can be influenced favorably or adversely by Client needs and other circumstances, including agency or other delays. ECORP will perform the services and accomplish the objectives within the presented costs and schedule. However, if the scope of work or schedule changes, ECORP will offer separate proposals for any out-of-scope work.
♦ ECORP Consulting, Inc. assumes that, by receipt of notice to proceed, full access to the property will be provided by the Client, including keys to locked gates and advance notice to existing property tenants of our right of entry.
♦ ECORP Consulting, Inc. has not been delegated authority under applicable state or federal law to carry out consultation with Native American tribes; therefore, tribal outreach, coordination, or consultation is not included in this scope of work. Should these services be required, they will be separately negotiated in coordination with the applicable lead agencies.
♦ Site recording, archaeological test programs and evaluation of historic period buildings are not included in the scope of work. Should these services be required, they will be separately negotiated. ♦ The cost estimate assumes that the letter report need not include a full cultural context or regulatory context, and will only report methods and results of a negative survey (no cultural resources observed). It also assumes that no justification for building age will be required, other than printouts of the Assessor Parcel Data.

Biological Resources Scope of Work:
Environmental Collaborative
Jim Martin
Environmental Collaborative
The Biological Resource Assessment (BRA) will involve the following tasks - background review, site reconnaissance survey, and report preparation. Available information will be reviewed to determine whether any known resources have been reported from the site, including the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) maintained by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the National Wetland Inventory maintained by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), critical habitat units designated by the USFWS and National Marine Fisheries Service, among other sources. The focus of the field survey will be to confirm that suitable habitat for special-status species is absent on the site, verify conditions along Hopper Creek and likely limits or regulatory agency jurisdiction, presence or potential for nesting raptors and other native birds, presence or potential for roosting bats, and location of native trees. A report will be prepared describing the findings of the information review and field reconnaissance surveys. Maps showing occurrence data from the CNDDB, location of native trees, and any other sensitive resources will be included in the BRA. No protocol surveys are proposed as part of this scope or believed necessary based on the largely developed condition of the site. Our scope assumes that adequate setbacks will be provided from the Hopper Creek corridor and that permit authorizations from regulatory agencies such as CDFW under Section 1600 of the Fish and Game Code, the Regional Water Quality Control Board under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act will not be required.
Tasks, hours and costs are detailed below. I'm assuming I won't need to attend any meetings and that PlaceWorks will handle the CEQA piece for this, using my BRA. But if envelopes are pushed and we have impacts to Hopper Creek or other resources, this would require an expanded scope and cost.
Background Review - 4 hrs
Site Review - 6 hrs
BRA preparation - 24 hrs
Planning Input - 4 hrs
This estimate comes to a total of 38 hours at my rate of $200 and with $400 in expenses for travel and graphics, this comes to a total non-to-exceed of $8,000.00 April 28, 2025 | Page 11
