■ AECOM with this Section 4.0 scope of work. In addition, the following modifications would be made to the meeting and project management tasks for the project. Environmental Assessment/Finding of No Significant Impact Draft Environmental Assessment It is assumed that if a NEPA CE is not agreed upon by Caltrans then the appropriate document for the proposed project will be an Environmental Assessment (EA) followed by a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). If a higher-level document is required then a separate scope and fee will be provided for preparing the increased level of documentation. Utilizing the information contained in the technical reports, along with additional information and analyses that are performed, as necessary, a Screencheck Draft EA will be prepared based on the current version of the NEPA-only document annotated outline that is available at the time that the document is initiated. The Screencheck Draft EA will be submitted to the City and Caltrans for review. Along with the Screencheck Draft EA, the external QA/QC form and environmental document checklist will be prepared and submitted. The QA/QC form and checklist are assumed to be included with each submittal. Following the incorporation of comments from the City and Caltrans the Draft EA will be prepared and submitted for City and Caltrans review. Followingthis review the revised Draft EA will be prepared and submitted for City and Caltrans review. Followingthis review any comments wilt be addressed and a revision workshop will be conducted, if needed. Following the workshop the second revised Draft EA will be submitted to the City and Caltrans for concurrence and for the Caltrans NEPA QC review. Following the incorporation of comments from the Caltrans NEPA QC review the final Draft EA will be submitted for Caltrans review and approval/concurrence. It is assumed that the project will qualify as a regular and not a complex EA. It is assumed that 30 hard copies and one original of the Final Draft EA will be printed for circulation, including the 15 copies to be submitted to the State Clearinghouse. It is assumed that technical studies will be provided on CD only for inclusion with the documents that are made available at the City, Caltrans, and the local library. ICF Jones & Stokes will utilize a distribution list developed with the City and Caltrans for distribution. It is assumed that distribution to agencies will consist of a CD and not hard copies of the document. All other recipients would receive the Notice of Availability (NOA) only. The NOA will be mailed to property owners and residents living within 500 feet of the proposed project using a mailing list generated and provided by AECOM's right-of-way consultant or the City. Deliverables(two copies City,• eight copies Caltrans): • Screencheck EA Draft EA • Revised Draft EA • Second Revised Draft EA • Final Draft EA for approval/concurrence • Final Draft EA 30 hard copies and one electronic (pol) Draft EA for availability (including the 15 copies for submittal to the State Clearinghouse) (Volume 1),• 15 CDs with technical studies, 100 CDs with Final Draft ED • It is assumed that up to 100 notices will be distributed. Notice of Avaitabitity/Notice of Opportunity for Pubtic Hearing While the final Draft EA is being reviewed by the City and Caltrans a Notice of EA Availability and Notice of Opportunity for Public Hearing announcing the publication of the EA will be prepared for publication. The notice will also identify the date, time, and location for the public information meeting that is to be held. This notice will be submitted to the City and Caltrans for review and comment. A public hearing would be held for the project if a request for a public hearing were received in response to the Notice of Opportunity. It is not anticipated that a public hearing will be requested or required. ICF Jones & Stokes will coordinate the publication of the Notice in an English and Spanish language newspaper; however, it is assumed that the City will be responsible for paying the publications directly for the publications. The cost of advertisements is not included in this scope and cost. Deliverables: • Draft and Final NOA/NOPH (assumed to be transmitted electronically with no hard copies) Response to Comments Atthe close of the public availability period forthe Draft EA, ICF Jones & Stokes will review and respond to all comments received. In addition, ICFJones & Stokes will attend a meeting with City and Caltrans staff to review any written comments on the Draft EA that were received and to discuss potential responses to these comments, if the comments received warrant such a meeting. The responses to comments will be forwarded to the City and Caltrans for review and approval prior to making any changes to the EA, if the comments received are substantial enough to warrant this process. Itis assumed that no comments requiring new analyses or substantial revisions to existing analyses, or from lawyers, will be received. Deliverables (S Copies): • Responses to comments to the City and Caltrans for review and concurrence Final Environmental Assessment/Finding of No Significant Impact Upon approval of the responses to comments by the City and Caltrans, if warranted, ICF Jones & Stokes will revise the EA to respond to the comments, to document ■ Proposal for Project Study Report Equivalent and Conceptual Engineering Plans for Santa Ana Boulevard Grade Separation Project
