Jones & Stokes <br />June 21, 2007 <br />Mr. Vince Fregoso, Senior Planner <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Planning and Building Agency <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, Ross Annex M-20 <br />P.O. Box 1988 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92702 <br />Subject: Proposal to Prepare an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Alton <br />Court Project <br />Dear Vince: <br />Thank you for inviting Jones & Stokes to prepare an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative <br />Declaration (NE\TD) for the Alton Court Project in the City of Santa Ana. We appreciate the <br />opportunity to continue our working relationship with the City of Santa Ana Planning Division to <br />prepare an Initial Study and MND in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act <br />(CEQA) Guidelines. We have detailed our proposed scope of work, cost estimate, and schedule <br />within this letter. <br />Proposed Scope of Work <br />We have developed a scope of work based on our current understanding of the project and <br />anticipated level of effort to complete the documentation. Our scope of work follows accordingly. <br />Task 1. Initiation of the Project/Kick-Off <br />We will attend a kick-off meeting to discuss the project with Citystaff within 5 working days of <br />receiving the notice to proceed. At this time, we will gather the available information about the <br />project, discuss any project constraints and issues, and refine our scope and responsibilities, if <br />necessary. <br />Task 2. Prepare Administrative Draft Initial Study/Proposed MND <br />Jones & Stokes will prepare an administrative draft Initial Study/Proposed MND, which will include <br />an evaluation of the environmental resources contained in the City's CEQA Environmental <br />Checklist. The Initial Study will include discussions of the existing conditions, impacts and <br />magnitude of the impacts, and the level of significance for each environmental discipline, as <br />appropriate. Mitigation measures will be developed to reduce potential impacts to less than <br />significant levels, where necessary. This scope of work assumes that the noise study prepared by <br />Mestre Greve Associates will be adequate for CEQA purposes and acceptable to the City.
