Proposal for San Lorenzo Lift Station EIR Prepared for: CITY OF SANTA ANA EXHIBIT B: SCOPE OF WORK The Environmental Checklist and Responses to Environmental Checklist also will be completed as part of this task. Each of the environmental issue areas contained within the City of Santa Ana Environmental Checklist document will be evaluated and assigned a significance rating of "No Impact," "Less than Significant Impact," "Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated," or "Potentially Significant hnpact." For each issue area, a detailed rationale will be provided within the Responses to Environmental Checklist section to provide substantive evidence for the conclusion drawn. References will be cited and relied upon as appropriate. If substantive evidence cannot be provided in the Initial Study to support a conclusion of No Impact or Less than Significant Impact for a particular environmental topic, that topic will be further evaluated in the EIR. Once completed, T &B Planning will submit a draft of the Initial Study to the City of Santa Ana for review and comment, in PDF or other acceptable electronic format. T &B Planning will then revise the document in response to any comments received and submit a revised version to the City for final staff review. The budget for this task assumes that no more than two rounds of minor revisions will be necessary. Task 2.3 - Prepare Notice of Preparation T &B Planning will prepare the required Notice of Preparation (NOP) package and will submit it to City staff for review. Upon receiving the City's authorization to finalize and publish the NOP, T &B Planning will work with the City to advertise the CEQA- required 30 -day NOP public review period via newspaper advertisement and posting on the project site, as well as direct mailing of the NOP and Initial Study to the State Clearinghouse and parties requesting notice (including an adjacent property owner). The NOP must also be posted with the County Clerk. The budget for this proposal assumes that the City will post the site and conduct the direct mailing. During the public review period of the NOP, T &B Planning will coordinate with City staff to obtain copies of the public comment letters as they are received, and subsequently will request a complete set of original letters at the close of the public comment period. This will ensure that we have a complete package and allow for scanning to digital format at the best quality possible. If any public comments necessitate an expanded scope of analysis in the EIR beyond that identified in the Initial Study and NOP, we will immediately evaluate our scope of work and notify the City. It is very unlikely that public comment on the NOP would necessitate expanding the anticipated scope of the EIR. For purposes of budgeting for this task, it is assumed that T &B Planning will provide the City with five (5) hard copies of the Initial Study and NOP (not exceeding a total of 60 pages) and five (5) CDs with custom labels. If additional copies are requested by the City or if the package includes more than 60 pages, the associated Deliverables budget would need to be adjusted accordingly. Our budget does not include fees for postage, as it is assumed that the City will conduct the direct mailing. PHASE 3: COORDINATE AND PREPARE ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNICAL STUDIES Task 3.1- Review and Coordinate Technical Studies T &B Planning will coordinate and manage the preparation of the technical studies identified in this Phase. As part of this task, T &B Planning will ensure that all technical report authors are provided Page B -2
