impact assessment, development of mitigation measures, report compilation and distribution, monitoring and review for CEQA adequacy, preparation of all required notices, attendance at public meetings and hearings, response to public comments, coordination between City staff and the EIR project team, and the preparation of a mitigation monitoring plan. Katz, Okitsu & Associates (KOA) will revise their original traffic study prepared for the project at the request of the City. Report format and content will be in full compliance with CEQA (as amended through the date of submittal of the draft EIR), the CEQA Guidelines (also as amended through the date of submittal of the draft EIR), and the City's environmental guidelines and procedural requirements. General EIR organization will include a discussion of existing conditions, impacts, and mitigation measures for each affected issue area. Text will be supplemented with graphics and summary tables, as necessary, to present information in a concise and easily understood format. Work products will consist of professionally photocopied reports (on recyclable paper, double -sided) in comb bindings, unless the City requests other presentation formats. All work products will also be submitted in electronic format on CDs and will be prepared using Microsoft Word for all documents. For purposes of this scope of work, schedule, and budget, it is assumed that the environmental document will be prepared at a programmatic level of detail for the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) as well as at a project -level for the proposed housing development, to the extent that available information and data permits. Refer to Section 3 of this proposal for a detailed description of the proposed EIR schedule and associated products/deliverables, and refer to Section 4 of this proposal for our estimated fee. a. Task 1 Project Initiation and Organization The objectives of this task are to compile the relevant background data and reports, outline revisions to the project, compile a list of updated cumulative projects, identify all discretionary actions, establish early communication among various project team members, and familiarize the PBS&J project team with the issues and concerns that the City wishes analyzed in the EIR. The PBS&J Project Manager will meet with the City to revise and refine the scope of the EIR. Any revisions to the scope of work may require a commensurate revision to the proposed cost. PBS&J will also work closely with City staff to develop and refine the proposed schedule. b. Task 2 Prepare REVISED Administrative Draft EIR The objective of this task is to prepare a comprehensive, accurate, and objective revised EIR for the programmatic and project -level analysis of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) that fully complies with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines (as amended through the submittal of the Draft EIR), and the City's Environmental Guidelines. The main purpose of the revised Administrative Draft EIR will be to thoroughly and accurately analyze the environmental impacts of the proposed project as amended. The document will be free of jargon so that the information it contains is accessible to decision -makers and the public. The methodology and criteria used for determining the impacts of the project will be clearly and
