EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF SERVICES SCOPE OF WORK Urban Crossroads, Inc. is pleased to submit this proposal agreement to [Category] (Client) to provide an AIR QUALITY and Greenhouse Gas ANALYSIS for the proposed Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 16-073 for the Metro East Mixed Use Overlay District Expansion Project (MEMU) development ("Project"), which is located west of the Santa Ana (1-5) Freeway, primarily along the First Street corridor, in the City of Santa Ana. The following scope of work serves to meet the City of Santa Ana and SCAQMD's requirements for preparation of a CEQA Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Analysis. It is anticipated that the SCAQMD-recommended CaIEEMod emissions inventory model will be utilized to calculate air quality and greenhouse gas emissions. Task 1: Project Initiation 1.1 Attend a kick-off meeting to discuss the Project with City staff. Review all relevant environmental documentation available. It is anticipated that a more thorough review of the previous EIR and technical data will be undertaken. Task 2: Air Quality Impact Analysis 2.1 Evaluate the existing conditions of the project study area; this will include gathering background air quality data, local wind patterns in the study area and identifying applicable rules, plans and thresholds of significance. 2.2 Identify construction -related air quality impacts from associated construction activities at the project site which may include demolition, import/export of fill dirt, mass grading, etc. 2.3 Evaluate operational emissions for the proposed project, based upon trip generation projections provided as part of the traffic study. Peak hour trips will be used along with estimates of the types of trips generated and average travel speeds to estimate daily emissions generated by the project. In addition, emissions from other operational sources such as heaters, air conditioners, water heaters, consumer products, and lawn care equipment will also be considered. 2.4 A screening -level CO Hot Spot analysis of future conditions at key intersections located in the project study area will be prepared. 2.5 Evaluate potential odor impacts resulting from the proposed project. Identify applicable mitigation measures and regulatory requirements that the project must comply with to minimize odors. For purposes of this evaluation a qualitative assessment of odors and odor controls is expected. 2.6 Qualitatively discuss cumulative impacts within the context of planned and foreseeable projects for short-term construction and long-term operational activity. A "list" approach per CEQA will be utilized when discussing cumulative impacts. Since the basin is in non - attainment the determination of significance will likely be based on whether or not the Project results in a substantial incremental increase.
