We understand that the City of Santa Ana is <br />proposing that areas within the City be designated an SEZ, which would make available incentives <br />to attract and retain businesses and jobs in economically distressed areas of the City. The proposed <br />project would allow businesses located within the SEZ area to take advantage of state performance - <br />based tax credits and incentives as well as city benefits. The zone designation would not result in <br />sition or development projects. We have detailed our proposed <br />specific construction, land acqui <br />scope of work, cost estimate, and schedule 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 includes only <br />preparation and distribution of the IS/NOP and does not include preparation or processing of an <br />Environmental Impact Report, which would be subject to a revised scope and budget. Our <br />proposed scope of work is as follows. <br />Task I. Initiation of the Project/Kick-Off <br />We willattend a kick-off meeting to discuss the project with City staff 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 />17310 Red Hill Avenue, Suite 320 � Irvine, CA 92614-5600 ' tel. 949 260.1080 .. fax 949 260.1081 <br />www.jonesandstokes.com <br />
