TASK 1 CONSULTATION CONCERNING RECIRCULATED DRAFT PEIR The City's expanded public outreach and the previously prepared Draft and Final PEIRs refined the scope of the Recirculated DEIR. This amendment requests the transferof remaining fees for this task to preparation of the Recirculated DEIR (Task 2). TASK 2 PREPARE SCREENCHECK DRAFT RECIRCULATED PEIR This task is completed. Transfer of fees to cover the overage on this task is requested. As noted above, additional effort was related to several factors. A greater level of analysis, documentation, and graphics was provided for environmental justice issues and CalEnviroScreen (CES) information. The supplemental information was included in the Environmental Setting, Air Quality, and Hazards sections. There were numerous iterations of policy and implementation actions that required ongoing revisions throughout the document and in the Appendix. Finally, we coordinated and included updates to the Alternatives, which included quantified traffic and noise impact information (for the new alternative and previously evaluated alternatives). TASK 3. PREPARE DRAFT RECIRCULATED PEIR The Draft Recirculated PEIR was distributed for public review between August 6, 2021, and September 20, 2021. This document only included the recirculated chapters of the EIR. Our original scope of work assumed that the City would want a complete copy of the Draft PEIR to include the remaining chapters of the DEIR. At the time, it was anticipated this would essentially be a word-processing exercise. The effort to update the entire EIR per project updates (policy and implementation action updates that affected almost all the chapters) and all changes in response to comments from both the original Final EIR and Recirculated EIR turned out to be immense and involved all levels of our project team (project management, graphics, editing, and word-processing). We coordinated with the City regarding our suggested formatting to color code various changes by the source —policy changes (original vs. final EIR), responses to comments (original vs. Final EIR), mitigation updates, etc. This effort also included updating the appendices and respective references. Transfer of additional fees to this task is required to address budget exceedance related to finalizing the Draft Recirculated PEIR for public distribution and posting to the City's website. This included coordination and related revisions/update to recreation facilities, including GIS team mapping. TASK 4. NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY/PUBLIC REVIEW This task was completed under budget, and this amendment requests transferring the remaining fees to Task 2. TASK 5. FINAL EIR AND RESPONSE TO COMMENTS The scope of work for this task assumed a moderate level of comment on the Recirculated DEIR and noted that if a greater level of comment than anticipated was received, a budget augment might be required. Although the number of letters was not excessive, attorneys on behalf of the City of Tustin, Orange County Environmental Justice, and Rise Up Willowick submitted long, complex letters. The Madison Park Neighborhood Association / UCI also sent very technical comments. The assistance from B13K was very helpful to address specific court cases, but limited with respect to specific CPU issues and technical comments on the EIR. The additional fees requested for this task also include addressing the comments received at the Study Session, which were not in our original scope of work. January 21, 2022 (updated 318122) 1 Page 2
