Mater Dei High School Parking Structure Request for Proposals (RFP) 2011 1. INTRODUCTION The City of Santa Ana is requesting proposals from planning and environmental consulting firms for preparation of an environmental impact report (EIR) for a new parking structure for Mater Dei High School at 1202 West Edinger Avenue, Santa Ana. The scope of work may include any and all work efforts related to the analysis, preparation, community outreach and related compliance with CEQA and/or NEPA (if required). This will include the preparation of an EIR and required technical studies, on-call consulting on as needed basis, and attendance at public hearings. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Mater Dei High School has submitted a proposal to the City to construct a new parking structure for use by the high school. The proposed structure will be three stories in height (approximately 25 feet), and will accommodate 990 vehicles. Access to the structure will be provided from the existing campus parking lot at the north and from St. Andrew Street at the south. To accommodate the project, Mater Dei will need to acquire 19 privately-owned parcels of land that are currently occupied by single-family residences. Several discretionary actions will be required for the project. In addition to the EIR, the discretionary actions will include a zone change (Amendment Application) and general plan amendment for the 19 single-family residential lots, an amendment to an existing development agreement, and the partial abandonment of three streets. Further, a lot merger to combine the parcels with the Mater Dei campus will be needed. Staff has been authorized by the City Council to distribute this Request for Proposals for environmental services to prepare this EIR. The recommended contract will be submitted for City Council authorization after review of the proposal has been completed. III.
