NOP Work Completed Out of Scope ■ The NOP was translated from English to Spanish — Additional budget: $350 TASK S. ADMINISTRATIVE DRAFT EIR The Administrative Draft EIR is in progress. Based on the following assumptions, there are no changes to the budget for this task: • The initial submittal of Administrative Draft EIR will include all sections except the Executive Summary and Project Alternatives. Upon consultation with City staff and concurrence on the project alternatives, the remaining sections will be completed and submitted. • The alternatives analysis will include the 'No Project' alternative and up to three additional alternatives selected on CEQA criteria (ability to attain most of the project objectives and reduce or eliminate one or more significant impacts). The alternatives may be design alternatives or potentially construction- related (phasing, equipment, etc.) alternatives. • The EIR will include a background discussion of the alternatives prepared and presented to the public during the design process. Unless one of these alternatives has the potential to reduce or eliminate a significant environmental impact associated with the preferred alignment, it is not anticipated that these alternatives will be reviewed in detail. No technical analysis (e.g., air quality, greenhouse gases, noise, traffic, etc., is anticipated for the alternate alignments presented to the public.
