Keren Anderson Haluza, AICP, Planning Manager Planning and Building Agency CITY OF SANTA ANA - ? July 19, 2012 -Page 2. - Last, the proposed improvements would include a multi-purpose field and running track. The multi-purpose field and running track would be on school grounds and would be available to the public after school hours (4:00 pm to dusk) and on weekends (8:00 am to dusk). SCOPE OP' WORK PCR will prepare a Notice of Exemption (NOE) for the proposed project. The NOE will be prepared in accordance with the CEQf1 Gzzidelines. Based on our understanding of the project, it appears that the proposed improvements are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15314, as minor additions to existing school facilities. PCR assumes the proposed improvements would not have a significant effect on the environment that might otherwise trigger additional CEQA review. As such, no detailed analyses of technical issues (i.e., traffic, noise, etc) are assumed to be necessary to support the NOE for the project. PCR will coordinate with the City to file the NOE with the Orange County ClerklRecorder. In addition to preparation of the NOE, PCR will prepare an evaluation of existing environmental conditions that may present constraints associated with the proposed improvements in accordance with the applicable sections of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 5, Section 14010. This "Title 5 criteria review," will be prepared to satisfy the California Department of Education (CDE), School Facilities Planning Division (SFPD), plan review requirements for new construction. Specifically, the Title 5 criteria review will serve as the "Existing School Safety/Site Certification" as referenced in the SFPD 4.07B form. It is anticipated that the City or the project architect will file the necessary Title 5 criteria review with CDE. PROPOSED FEES Based on our understanding of the project and the scope of work provided above, our not-to- exceed fee to prepare the NOE and Tile 5 criteria review for the school is .`$3,800. Should the need arise for additional professional services beyond those set forth in the scope of services due to changes in the process or the regulatory environment, PCR will request written authorization to proceed prior to the initiation of the additional services. Fees and charges will be billed on a monthly basis in accordance with PCR's 2012 Billing Rates and Expense Charges, presented in the Attachment A. Direct expenses, including but not limited to the following, will be billed at 110 percent of actual cost: reproduction, printing, and photographic costs; postage, delivery, telephone, and other communication costs when requested or approved by client; and project-related mileage necessarily incurred at the current rate per mile as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.
