FIRSTCARBON Proposal411111 SOLUTIONS FCS INTERNATIONAL,INC. Subtask 3.3: Tribal Coordination At the City's request, FCS will draft notification letters, using the City's letterhead,to initiate tribal consultation on the City's behalf pursuant to AB 52 and SB 18.This Scope of Work assumes two virtual meetings with the City and Tribal Representatives are needed. It is also assumed that 18 staff hours will be sufficient to complete this task. If additional meetings or coordination becomes necessary, FCS can continue tribal consultation under a separate scope of work. Subtask 3.4: Noise Analysis FCS will complete a noise analysis that will include an evaluation of short-term (construction) and long- term (operation) noise impacts to satisfy the City's noise impact analysis requirements.The analysis will be wholly contained in the appropriate section of the IS/MND with any relevant supporting technical data appended to the document. Compile and Summarize Regulatory Information The general characteristics of sound and the categories of audible noise will be described.The regulatory framework related to noise, including applicable federal,State,and City plans, policies, and standards, will be summarized. Construction Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis Construction would involve the short-term operation of heavy equipment in the vicinity of sensitive receptor land uses. EPA-recommended noise emission levels will be used for the construction equipment. Noise analysis requirements and thresholds of significance will be based on the sensitivity of the project area and the City's Noise Ordinance specifications. FCS will also analyze potential vibration impacts from construction activities associated with development that could occur with implementation of the proposed project. FCS will utilize the methodology and thresholds contained in the Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual prepared by the Federal Transit Administration for determining construction-related groundborne vibration impacts. Operational Noise Impact Analysis A quantitative assessment of long-term operational noise impacts will be performed. Project-related traffic noise impacts will be determined based on whether the proposed project would generate a substantial increase in traffic noise levels in the project vicinity in excess of standards established in the City's General Plan or Noise Ordinance. Potential noise impacts from project-related stationary noise sources, such as new parking lot activities,will also be evaluated to determine if the proposed project would generate a substantial increase in ambient noise levels in excess of the City's operational noise performance standards. Data Needs and Assumptions This Scope of Work assumes relevant data, including site plan and project traffic data,will be provided by the project applicant.This analysis will be completed within 6 weeks of receipt of the necessary project data and the City-approved Project Description.
