Project Manager City of Santa Ana, Public Works Agency 20 Civic Center Plaza — Ross Annex (M-36), Yd Floor Santa Ana, California 92701 RE: Bristol Street Widening, Phases 3 and 4 — Scope of Work Addendum No. 1 (Revision No. 1) Dear Mr. Nguyen: Pursuant to discussions at URS' office on March 26, 2010, provided herein is our Scope of Work Addendum No. 1 regarding preparation of the requisite documentation pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and supporting technical studies for the City of Santa Ana's (City) Bristol Street Widening Project, Phases 3 and 4 (Project). More specifically, this Addendum to URS' originally submitted Scope of Work, as included in our proposal, involves preparation of technical studies not otherwise included in that original Scope of Work. The additional studies described below represent those that are anticipated to be required for the Project based on the City's experience coordinating similar work with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for the ongoing Bristol Street/17`h Street intersection improvement project. Task 1. Natural Environment Study (Minimal Impacts) A Natural Environment Study (Minimal Impacts) [NES(MI)] will be prepared pursuant to reporting requirements set forth on Caltrans' Standard Environmental Reference (SER), Volume 3 (Biological Resources). Preparation of the NES(MI) will include a site survey by a qualified biologist, a review of pertinent agency records for presence/absence of special -status plant and animal species, and coordination for review and approval of the report between the City and Caltrans. It is not anticipated that the Project site or its immediate surroundings will include special -status species, and therefore no consultation will be required with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Further, it is assumed that a Jurisdictional Determination Report and regulatory permits through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and California Department of Fish and Game will not be required for the Project. Task 2. Community Impact Assessment Given the number of business and residential relocations anticipated as a result of the proposed Project, a Community Impact Assessment (CIA) will be prepared in accordance with reporting guidelines detailed in Caltrans' Environmental Handbook, Volume 4 (Community Impact URS Corporation 2020 Fast First Street, Suite 400 Santa Ana, CA 92705 Tel: 714,835.6886 Fax, 714.667,7147 www.urscorp,com
