EXHIBIT A REVISED Proposal to Provide Peer Review of a Traffic Report and Noise Report Prepared for the Mater Dei High School Project in Santa Ana, California SCOPE OF WORK This section identifies how ECORP's services will be provided and how our deliverables will be completed. Task 1 - Kickoff Meeting The ECORP Project Manager or their Designee will virtually attend one (1) kick-off meeting with the Project Applicant and City staff. Deliverable: Meeting attendance Task 2 - Peer Review of Technical Studies The technical studies will be reviewed to determine if the studies are adequately prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In general, the reports will be reviewed to ensure that all elements of the project have been evaluated (including any required offsite improvements), that surveys, modeling, and other analyses have been conducted in accordance with accepted agency or industry protocols, and whether proposed mitigation has nexus to anticipated impacts and will be effective in reducing impacts. The reports/studies will be reviewed to determine if appropriate standard methods and applicable agency protocols were used to complete the studies. Requirements for additional studies or analyses, if applicable, will be noted in the review, but are not included in this scope of work. We have assumed that ECORP will conduct two reviews of the technical studies: an initial review and a review of the revised technical studies to ensure that comments from the initial review were incorporated into the revised studies. The reports will be reviewed as detailed in Tasks 2.1 and 2.2 below. 2.1 — Peer Review of the Acoustical Assessment (ECORP) ECORP will conduct a peer review of the June 2023 Acoustical Assessment prepared for the Project by Kimley Horn. Senior -level staff members who are subject experts will review the New Mater Dei High School noise analysis in accordance with CEQA. The emphasis will be on consistency with current industry standards of practice. For instance, existing ambient noise levels currently experienced in the vicinity should be identified by conducting baseline noise level measurements in the vicinity of the noise -sensitive residential neighborhoods in the vicinity of the Project. Additionally, on -site noise generating activities related to the Project and the associated noise effects at the nearest receptors should be addressed. Additionally, an analysis of Project -generated vibration should be conducted. ECORP staff will review the acoustical assessment to verify if the aforementioned analysis is addressed in Kimley Horn's report. ECORP will provide comments and suggested edits to the Noise Impact Assessment in a draft memorandum for City review. The - A� 11 ECORP Consulting, Inc.
