MBA staff uniquely understands the complexities of managing projects with diverse challenges, including scheduling and logistics, public relations, long-term field efforts, and multifaceted legal and agency compliance issues. With a goal of providing a cost-effective, technically sound, and legally defensible product, MBA emphasizes high levels of client and agency communication as well as concise presentations of project information in both written and verbal formats. As testimony to MBA's success is the large number of repeat clients who have relied on MBA's business expertise and professionalism. General Project Approach/Methodology MBA's experience in preparing a variety of environmental analyses has proven that the successful and timely completion of a comprehensive environmental program is dependent on the ability to employ the following approach: Substantive and frequent coordination between MBA, the client, MBA's subconsultants, and other members of the project team • Thorough integration of multi -disciplinary planning, including environmental, architectural, engineering, and public relations issues • Anticipation of controversial environmental issues and development of possible resolution methodologies early in the environmental process • Preparation of expert technical analyses with comprehensive integration into a relevant environmental document • Senior management review of all work products to ensure technical accuracy, documentation objectivity, legal defensibility, budget and schedule compliance • Full use of existing data, previous reports, and research materials to avoid duplication of work efforts ®UN 3 May 21, 2007 City of Santa Ana Firm and Personnel Experience Statement of Qualifications for Environmental Consultants and Project Experience To provide the most efficient and cost-effective project approach, MBA outlines a project -specific methodology3 clarified by the initial scope of work. This early clarification results in document objectivity, precise technical analysis, consistent team coordination, quality control, and schedule responsiveness. Expert -Level Technical Analysis MBA's project teams include experts in key environmental fields that provide the technical credibility to successfully produce the necessary technical studies and finalize a comprehensive environmental document. Professional technical analyses are essential to ensure the environmental document is deemed credible, objective, and technically sound in the eyes of the lead agency and the public. Of equal importance to the technical ability of the team members is their previous experience working on complex and controversial projects, which ensures that they are capable of producing the highest quality work product. Key strengths associated with an MBA project team include: • Established working relationships among team members and experience working with our clients • Technical expertise in areas specific to the project • Ability to assign key management and senior staff immediately upon contract award with the intent of meeting the client's schedule requirements Document Coordination MBA's approach to project management incorporates various avenues for integrating the expertise of project team members. At project initiation, available documents pertaining to each project are catalogued, and a memorandum identifying the titles of these documents, as well as a brief description of the document's contents, is distributed to the project team. Requests for documents are coordinated through MBA, thereby eliminating redundant reproduction efforts while allowing team members access to existing information. Accessibility of Staff MBA understands the importance of having the Project Director, Project Manager, and assigned subcontractors available to respond to client questions, devise project -related strategies, and exchange information. To facilitate this objective, the client is given the Project Managers contact information, including telephone and fax number, e-mail address, and cellular telephone number, in addition to the office contact information. The office receptionist is informed daily of the location of project staff and alternative methods of contact if there is a need for immediate client communication. In addition, MBA commits all assigned team members to a project to be available throughout the anticipated project period. Although MBA's office is closed every other Friday, in observance of our 9/80 work week, the Project Manager, Michael Houlihan is normally in the office; if not, he is available by e-mail and cell phone. If deliverables are required on a scheduled day off, MBA requests staff to come into the office to complete the necessary tasks. Team Coordination and Organization MBA assembles project teams that provide a wide range of high -quality technical services combined with timely, cost-effective projects that meet environmental regulations and agency requirements. The selection of team members, both in-house staff and subconsultants, is typically based on four key factors: 1. Technical expertise in issue areas of particular concern to the client 2. Prior experience with similar projects in similar locations 3. Ability to comply with schedule constraints Simms 4 May 21, 2007 City of Santa Ana Statement of Qua Firm and Personnel Experience for Environmental Consultants and Project Experience 4. A demonstrated ability to effectively communicate and present technical information to the public MBA routinely conducts weekly teleconference meetings with project team members, which ensures an effective exchange of information that leads to an integrated, high -quality, and time -efficient environmental document. As the need for project meetings arise (e.g., kick-off, scoping, or planning commission meetings), MBA coordinates the attendance of necessary project team members. Furthermore, at a minimum, the project team conducts weekly teleconference calls with the client to ensure a "no surprises' approach to preparing environmental documents and requested technical studies. MBA will consolidate the MBA project team meetings with client meetings (via conference call), if requested by the client. Quality Control MBA's system of quality control entails far more than document review prior to submittal. It includes the coordination and quality control of each step involved in preparing the technical studies and environmental documents. Project team members are provided with a copy of the agreed -upon scope of work, which allows a unified understanding of the required work products, the content of the work products, and the prevailing schedule/budget constraints. The MBA Project Director and Project Manager will coordinate activities related to quality control/quality assurance, including a final read - through of the document to ensure legal defensibility, technical accuracy, and objectivity by a senior staff member expert in the required discipline. In addition, all technical data is reviewed to ensure that it is accurately and precisely incorporated into the environmental analyses, a consistency check is completed to ensure that significance thresholds are applied accurately and consistently within each topical section, and impacts and conclusions are consistently stated in individual sections. Editorial staff will be assigned to conduct a comprehensive and detailed read -through of the document to ensure readability, grammatical accuracy, and formatting/graphic appearance, Financial Tracking Resources MBA Project Managers are responsible for project cost management with support from MBA's internal job -cost accounting system. Job -cost accounting procedures foster effective budget control by supplying data on costs incurred, which can be broken down into any level of subcategories desired. These procedures provide project management with useful tools for tracking and controlling project costs and project efficiency, as well as other valuable information concerning methods and efficiency. One of the primary functions of the job -cost accounting system is to assemble and interpret actual cost data for managing current operations and planning future budgets. Using the immediate feedback on the job -cost status, management can take timely action to contain job costs, as necessary. To control project costs, a budget is first established that reflects the scope of work prepared for the project. The Project Manager is responsible for maintaining the budget and tracking labor and other costs. Billing invoices, generated monthly, are reviewed and approved by the Project Director prior to being forwarded to the client. The invoices can detail charges sorted by employee, activity, billing period, or in a summary format that meets client needs. Organizational, Technical, and Editorial Procedures MBA's experience in preparing or reviewing a variety of environmental analyses and technical reports has proven that the successful and timely completion of a comprehensive program is heavily dependent upon the ability of a consultant to employ the following general approaches: • Substantive and frequent coordination between MBA, the client, MBA's subconsultants (if any), and any other identified members of a project team • Thorough integration of a multi -disciplinary planning, biological, architecture, engineering, and management team. • Anticipation of controversial environmental issues and development of potential resolution methodologies early in the planning process • Preparation of expert -level technical analyses, development of appropriate methodologies, and integration into relevant biological documentation with sufficient detail ®® 5 May 21, 2007 City of Santa Ana Statement of Qua for Environmental Consultants Firm and Personnel Experience . Provision of senior management review of all work products to ensure technical accuracy, documentation objectivity, legal defensibility, and budget and schedule compliance . Full use of existing data, past reports, and research materials necessary to avoid duplication of work efforts However, the specific methodology for any project determines the overall efficiency of the program. MBA outlines a project -specific methodology, further clarified by the scope of work, which provides for document objectivity, expert -level technical analysis, team coordination, quality control, staff accessibility, and schedule responsiveness. Expert -Level Technical Analysis MBA's project teams are intentionally composed of experts in key environmental fields to provide the technical credibility necessary to successfully produce and/or review all technical reports and finalize/process the required document. Professional -caliber technical analyses are essential to ensure the document is deemed credible, objective, and technically precise in the eyes of the lead agency and the public. Of equal importance to the technical ability of all team members, every project participant has worked on complex and controversial projects and, therefore, is willing and able to provide the commitment necessary to produce the highest quality work product. Key strengths typically associated with an MBA project team include: . Previous working relationships among team members; current or recent experience working with their clients • Technical expertise in all issue areas that may need to be addressed, coupled with the ability to identify project/cumulative impacts in light of CEQA/NEPA requirements, thresholds of significance, and development of enforceable mitigation measures • Ability to assign key management and senior staff immediately upon contract award and ability to meet the client's schedule requirements Information Services Management MBA's technical and corporate operations are supported by fully automated data processing and management facilities. Anchoring these facilities is an information systems network with advanced architecture and functionality. MBA uses sophisticated applications, including database, scientific/engineering, and air quality monitoring programs. These resources are further enhanced by MBA's extensive library of business, relational database, file management, budgeting, project tracking, and word processing software, including all current Windows, ArcGIS, and AutoCAD applications. Maintaining in-house Geographic Information System (GIS) services allows MBA to provide our clients with a cost-effective alternative to the costly delays inherent in out -sourced GIS support. Report Production and Graphics Capabilities MBA's corporate report production facilities contain a Publications Department, including word processing, editorial, graphics, and reprographics staff. MBA's production staff uses industry - standard versions of Windows and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint). The Graphics Department is staffed with highly skilled graphic designers who produce computer - generated cartography, artwork, and other graphics. Our graphic designers are able to generate artwork in illustration, slides, and page layout using Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Corel Draw. To complement our high-tech electronic publishing system, the Graphics Department provides traditional full -service production art capabilities for oversize maps, brochures, and landscape design, as well as producing in-house, high -quality color printing. These facilities, computers, and capabilities are used to produce all project graphics. MBA also maintains a complete, in-house Reprographics Department using Oce systems, a variety of automated binding options, photo -quality color printing, and laminating for professional in-house report production, and a mass duplicator for CD production. MEN 6 May 21, 2007 Elba City of Santa Ana Firm and Personnel Experience Statement of Qualifications for Environmental Consultants and Project Experience Highly trained and dedicated Reprographics and Publications department staff ensure that document reproduction is closely monitored for compliance to internal and external client protocols. In -House Resources Information is the raw material of MBA's work. To ensure the availability of materials, MBA maintains an in-house reference library to assist project staff. The main corporate library holds thousands of titles cataloged on a microcomputer database. This arrangement allows staff to quickly search for information by subject, title, title words, geographic location, report number, and other parameters. In addition to general references and standard texts, numerous government reports and hard -to -find local planning documents are in the collection, including examples of environmental impact studies prepared by MBA and others. The library also receives over 200journals, newsletters, and other periodicals and maintains updated copies of appropriate regulations. Compliance with Processing and Legal Requirements MBA has established an excellent record of legal defensibility for environmental documents. In our 25-year history, 23 projects completed by the firm have been involved in litigation. However, none of the MBA environmental documents has been found to be inadequate at the conclusion of litigation. This has included successful defense of projects to the Supreme Court. In most cases, however, litigation has generally been averted entirely because of MBA's strict adherence to regulatory content and processing requirements. MBA exercises particular care to ensure that our environmental documents contain thorough environmental analysis and explicit documentation of all data sources and research contacts. This approach reduces the potential for successful legal challenge. MBA staff are highly experienced in conducting environmental documentation for litigation -sensitive projects and have developed research, documentation, and environmental assessment techniques in compliance with legal requirements. As you are aware, over the years the CEQA process has become increasingly litigious as projects become more complex and environmental resources in California obtain increased protection under the law. MBA has made efforts to respond to this trend in three very important ways. First, a number of MBA staff have been involved in working closely with CEQA attorneys in providing expert testimony for a variety of CEQA projects. Secondly, we have taken strides to retain key staff with extensive backgrounds in law and the provision of services in the preparation and/or review of the CEQA process. Lastly, on almost all large-scale projects in which MBA has been involved, the project applicant or lead agency routinely included special CEQA attorneys as part of a multi -faceted project team. This required MBA engage in considerable interaction with these attorneys in their review and development of specific analysis included in the CEQA documents prepared for these projects.

PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. BLANKET ADDITIONAL INSURED (ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS AND SURVEYORS) This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following: COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY COVERAGE PART 1. WHO IS AN INSURED (Section II) is amended to include any person or organization that you agree in a "contract or agreement requiring insurance" to include as an additional insured on this Cover- age Part, but: a. Only with respect to liability for "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal injury"; and b. If the injury or damage arises out of the per- formance, by you or your subcontractor, of "your work" to which the "contract or agree- ment requiring insurance" applies. Such per- son or organization does not qualify as an additional insured with respect to their inde- pendent acts or for "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal injury" for which that person or organization has assumed liability in a contract or agreement. 2. The insurance provided to the additional insured by this endorsement is limited as follows: a. This insurance does not apply on any basis to any person or organization for which cover- 4. age as an additional insured specifically is added by another endorsement to this Cover- oe age Part. b. This insurance does not apply to the render- ing of or failure to render any "professional = services". c. The limits of insurance afforded to the addi- tional insured shall be the limits which you agreed to provide in that "contract or agree- ment requiring insurance", or the limits shown in the Declarations for this Coverage Part, whichever are less. This endorsement does not increase the limits of insurance stated in the LIMITS OF INSURANCE (Section III) for this Coverage Part. 3. The following is added to Paragraph a. of 4. Other Insurance in COMMERCIAL GENERAL S LIABILITY CONDITIONS (Section IV): 003799 However, 0 you specifically agree in a "contract or agreement requiring insurance" that the insurance provided to an additional insured under this Cov- erage Part must apply on a primary basis, or a primary and non-contributory basis, this insurance is primary to other insurance that is available to such additional insured which covers such addi- tional insured as a named insured, and we will not share with the other insurance, provided that: (1) The "bodily injury" or "property damage" for which coverage is sought occurs; and (2) The "personal injury" for which coverage is sought arises out of an offense committed; after you have entered into that "contract or agreement requiring insurance". But this insur- ance still is excess over valid and collectible other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis, that is available to the insured when the insured is an additional insured under any other insurance. The following is added to Paragraph 8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us in COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY CON- DITIONS (Section IV): We waive any rights of recovery we may have against any person or organization because of payments we make for "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal injury" arising out of "your work" performed by you, or on your behalf, under a "contract or agreement requiring insurance" with that person or organization. We waive these rights only where you have agreed to do so as part of the "contract or agreement requiring insur- ance" with such person or organization entered into by you before, and in effect when, the "bodily injury" or "property damage" occurs, or the "per- sonal injury" offense is committed.

The RFP received from the City and this proposal will jointly become the Scope for Professional Consultant Services for this project. The scope of work, which assumes close coordination with the City, has been incorporated within our estimated fees. Included will be the following responsibilities: ■ Project initiation and organization ■ Public scoping and agency coordination ■ Coordination with the City through the MBA Principal/Project Manager ■ Data compilation and technical report peer review ■ Impact assessment and formulation of effective mitigation measures ■ CEQA conformance and quality assurance ■ Report compilation and distribution ■ Responding to public comments on the Draft EIR ■ Preparation, posting and mailing of required CEQA notices ■ Public meetings and hearing attendance ■ Preparation of findings of fact and statement of overriding considerations ■ Preparation of mitigation monitoring program ■ Preparation of Final EIR Phase I - Technical Studies Task 1.1: MBA Technical Studies Technical studies to be provided by MBA include ones for the following potentially significant effects. These will be summarized in the corresponding EIR sections: ■ Visual Analysis/Shade and Shadow Analysis. To support the visual analysis, we will perform a site photographic survey to show the visual baseline condition from surrounding vantage points. Building elevations obtained from the project architect will be superimposed on the photos to demonstrate the impact of the buildings on views. Utilizing an aerial photo base, MBA will calculate and graphically display the winter/summer solstice shade and shadow footprint of the building on surrounding properties and any potentially sensitive receptors (i.e. residential properties, outdoor recreational areas including relationship to nearby Santiago Park, etc.). This assessment will also address CEQA threshold criteria such as impacts on any scenic vistas, scenic resources, the visual character and quality of the site and surroundings, and sources of light and glare. ■ Cultural Resources. MBA's Cultural Resources Division will prepare a Cultural Resources Report and perform tasks necessary to support adequate cultural resources documentation to meet CEQA requirements. The basic tasks are as follows: Records Search __ 3 Santa Ana East Memory Lane/Town and Country Manor EIR SCOPE OF WORK - Cultural Resources Survey - Cultural Resources Phase I Report -- SB 18 Consultation Support MBA will perform a records check of the project site and surrounding area, and review archival aerial photo to document the known historic and prehistoric conditions. The Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) will be contacted to obtain a file search and identify any Native American concerns. Background paleontological information will also be solicited from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. A complete Phase I cultural resources survey of the site will be performed by an MBA Registered Professional Archaeologist (RPA), The Cultural Resources Phase I Report will meet City and SHPO standards (ARMR format), and will contain at a minimum: Introduction and Setting; Prehistoric and Historic Background; Methods Used in the Investigation; Records Search and Survey Results; and Findings and Recommendations. MBA will support the City in compliance with SB 18 Native American Tribal Consultation requirements through preparation of the consultation form and assistance with City response to any letter from NAHC. ■ Noise. MBA will prepare an acoustical analysis that addresses short-term and long-term noise impacts. Short-term construction noise levels from equipment and trucks will be analyzed. Long-term traffic noise levels will be evaluated based on the Federal Highway Administration Highway Traffic Noise Model (FHWA). Based upon measurements of existing conditions, a comparison of the noise without and with project -generated traffic will be provided at project buildout. Noise modeling will be conducted using the approved FHWA Highway Noise Prediction Model or one of its derivatives (e.g., Sound32). Impacts to proposed land uses on -site (i.e. future residents, workers, and guests) and any existing sensitive land uses in the vicinity will then be compared with the goals of the General Plan Noise Element and restrictions set forth in the Municipal Code. MBA will summarize the noise analysis within the EIR. Design and/or operational mitigation, if necessary, will be proposed for any significant impacts. Residual impact after mitigation will be compared with the impact criteria to assess the adequacy of the proposed mitigation measures. The technical noise data generated to analyze the noise emissions will be included as an appendix to the EIR. ■ Air Quality. A comprehensive air quality analysis would include an evaluation of both localized and regional short-term (construction) and long-term (operation) air quality impacts. The air quality analysis would judge the significance of impacts by comparing them to South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) localized and regional significance thresholds. To address these thresholds, the air quality analysis requires the following tasks. - Data Collection. Relevant project and site background information will be collected and reviewed to ensure that all potential emissions are included in the analysis. The traffic study prepared for the project is required for the air quality analysis. MBA will work closely with the traffic engineer to ensure the trip generation rates accurately depict the project. - Regional Analysis. Air pollutant emissions will be estimated using emission factors and methodologies developed by California Air Resources Board (CARE), SCAQMD, and other agencies. The pollutants that will be estimated include the following: . 4_ Santa Ana East Memory Lane,/Town and Country Manor E1R SCOPE OF WORK volatile organic compounds, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5). The regional impact assessment will calculate emissions associated with construction and longterm operational activities for the proposed project using URBEMIS2007. - Localized Significance Analysis. A Localized Significance Threshold (LST) analysis will need to be conducted for construction emissions pursuant to SCAQMD methodology. Since the amount of acreage to be disturbed by grading in one day is expected to be less than or equal to five acres, a condensed LST analysis can be done by comparing onsite project emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) with localized thresholds as obtained from the SCAQMD LST Methodology look -up tables for the project's source receptor area - Carbon Monoxide Hot -Spot Analysis. A carbon monoxide hot -spot analysis will be conducted of up to five intersections with the highest potential for congestion using the California Department of Transportation Caline4 model and the CARB EMFAC2007 model. - Global Climate Change. A global climate change analysis will be prepared for the proposed project. Project generated emissions of greenhouse gases will be estimated using URBEMIS2007, California Air Resources Board methods, and/or U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emission factors. The General Plan or other regional planning documents will be reviewed for goals or policies that relate to global climate change. An appropriate threshold for addressing the significance of the project's influence on global climate change will be derived. If necessary, mitigation measures will be recommended. A significance finding will also be determined. - Report. A comprehensive report will be prepared that includes all necessary components of a legally defensible analysis, including background information on air quality. If necessary, mitigation measures will also be identified to reduce the level of significance. Water Quality. The MBA Water Quality specialist will prepare the water quality management plan using guidelines set forth in the County's Model WQMP, provided in DAMP (Drainage Area Management Plan). The WQMP will be submitted to the City of Santa Ana Planning and Public Works departments for review. Comments and/or changes required by the City will be addressed and the WQMP will be modified to obtain the City's final approval. MBA assumes the following documents will be available prior to the preparation of the WQMP: - Project -Specific Grading and Drainage Plan - Soils Engineering Report Hydraulic Study determining stormwater runoff from required storm frequency intensities Preparation of the WQMP will include the following tasks: Identify potential pollutants and their sources associated with the Project along with local receiving waters, identify any California Clean Water Act Section 303(d) listed receiving waters and evaluate associated impacts to the proposed project. Identify Hydrologic Conditions of Concern and evaluate if post -construction runoff volumes could have a significant impact on downstream stormwater facilities compared to existing conditions or have significant impacts on stream habitat, alone or as part of a cumulative impact from development in the watershed. 5 Santa Ana East Memory Lane/Town and Country Manor EIR SCOPE OF WORK Evaluate site structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) and determine which BMPs will be used and provide justification for any BMPs not being used. Describe how the selected BMPs will be implemented and the entity or party responsible for implementation, maintenance, and/or inspection. This task assumes that preliminary design calculations for the Project will be available for sizing treatment BMPs. Although MBA can provide guidance on the type, location, and size of potential treatment control BMPs, this SOW assumes that the Project engineer will integrate those selected treatment control BMPs into the Project site plan. Provide an evaluation of the 0&M requirements of all structural source and treatment control BMPs included as part of the Project. The WQMP will be summarized for use in the EIR and included in its entirety in the Appendix. Traffic and Circulation. The City of Santa Ana has selected Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. as the traffic consultant for preparation of the traffic impact study for the EIR. In accordance with the requirements of the City of Santa Ana, the traffic impact study for the project will consist of the following: - Existing Condition - Opening Year Without the Project - Opening Year With the Project - Traffic Impact Analysis - Mitigation Measures, if necessary - Analysis of Site -Specific Issues The specific scope of work, method and approach for the traffic impact study is provided in its entirety in Appendix C of this proposal. Kimley-Horn will be a subconsultant to MBA for the duration of the EIR process, including support in response to comments on the Draft EIR and public meeting attendance. Geology and Soils. Zeiser-Kling Consultants, Inc. will prepare a preliminary geotechnical report to address geologic hazards, soils issues and preliminary design recommendations for construction of the project. The report will address seismic hazards, liquefaction, subsidence, compressible soils, groundwater, corrosivity, and preliminary foundation requirements. Particular attention will be given to any geotechnical issues associated with the proposed three -level subterranean parking garage. The report will be summarized for use in the EIR. Phase II - Environmental Impact Report Task 2.1: Project Description and Background The MBA project manager will meet with the City for the purpose of obtaining information necessary for preparation of complete project and alternatives descriptions, establishing early communication among various project team members, and familiarizing MBA with the issues and concerns identified for analysis. To facilitate this process, MBA will: ■ Attend an initial orientation meeting with City of Santa Ana staff and the project applicant, if necessary, to review the proposed project scope of work and to determine which 6 Santa Ana East Memory LaneiTown and Country Manor EIR SCOPE OF WORK elements will be included in descriptions of the project and alternatives to the proposed project ■ Receive project objectives (including those of the City and the applicant), and narrative program descriptions of project alternatives that are sufficient to develop the EIR's description of alternatives to the proposed project ■ Refine the project schedule, based on agreements reached during contract negotiations, and on information discussed at the initial orientation meeting, if needed ■ Receive all existing reference and research materials related to the project, the project site and vicinity, including base maps, aerial photographs, and environmental documents for projects in the project vicinity ■ Review site -specific data, conduct a field visit, interview relevant parties (such as the City and other agency staff) to identify available existing documentation for the project area, and review the City's CEQA compliance procedures ■ Develop a detailed sample outline of the Administrative Draft EIR, describe format and document style for City approval Task 2.2: Initial Study, Notice of Preparation, and Scoping Initial Study. MBA will prepare an IS, according to CEQA requirements, CEQA Guidelines (Section 15063), and the City of Santa Ana CEQA Implementation Procedures. The content of the IS will comply with the requirements of case law. Issues for which no significant impacts are expected (for which no additional evaluation is required) and topics that will require further evaluation in the EIR will be identified. This will narrow and precisely define the scope of the EIR, will provide a strategic action plan for completing the environmental process as efficiently as possible, and will determine the most effective approach for addressing any required consultations and approvals of other agencies. A Draft IS will be prepared for review by the City of Santa Ana; five copies of the Draft IS will be submitted to the City. Following receipt of one complete set of comments, MBA will revise and prepare the Final IS. Notice of Preparation. MBA will prepare the Notice of Preparation (NOP), which will include a project description, project exhibits, including a topographical map, and the Final IS. After approval from the City, MBA will provide one original copy, an electronic version on CD, and 20 copies of the NOR MBA will prepare a distribution list for City review and approval. MBA will distribute the documents (to the State Clearinghouse, public agencies, and individuals identified on the distribution list). The NOP will be sent by certified mail or overnight mail. Community Scoping (Optional). The project does not qualify as a project of Statewide, Regional or Areawide Significance pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15206. However, the City of Santa Ana may elect to have a community scoping meeting nonetheless, especially in light of redevelopment activities underway in the City of Santa Ana and potential funding vehicles. MBA will attend this early consultation/scoping meeting, monitor comments received, answer questions as directed by staff, and provide a summary of public comments with regard to any environmental concerns raised. Input will be used to focus the issues to be addressed in the EIR. The summary of comments will be included in the EIR Appendices. Santa Ana East Memory Lane/Town and Country Manor EIR SCOPE OF WORK Task 2.3: Screencheck Draft EIR • Screencheck Draft EIR. Seven hard copies and one CD-ROM of the Screencheck Draft EIR in Word format will be submitted to City staff for review and comment. ■ Project Description. One of the first key actions to be performed will be the formulation of a working description for the project and project alternatives. MBA will work closely with the City and the project applicant to prepare a description that articulates the objectives of the project. MBA will prepare the project description section of the EIR, based on information provided during project initiation and on comments received on the NOR The project description will include the following: - Regional and local setting - Project history - Project objectives of the City and applicant - Project characteristics and important project features - Project phasing - Intended uses of the EIR (as required by Section 15124[d] of the CEQA Guidelines), including a list of: a. Responsible and other agencies expected to use the EIR in decision -making b. Approvals for which the EIR will be used Cumulative Impacts. MBA will describe the reasonably foreseeable projects within a defined study area approved by the City that may result in cumulative impacts associated with the proposed project. MBA will work closely with City staff to ensure that the EIR is prepared at the appropriate level of detail and that pertinent projects are evaluated. We assume the City will provide to MBA information on all reasonably anticipated projects so that cumulative projects can be adequately addressed. Findings of recent court cases regarding the scope of cumulative impact discussions in EIRs will be relied upon to assure all pertinent issues are addressed. Cumulative impacts will be discussed within each environmental topic section of the EIR. ■ Growth -Inducing Impacts. Pursuant to Section 15126(g) of the CEQA Guidelines, MBA will discuss in the EIR any potential growth -inducing impacts of the proposed project. ■ Effects Found To Be Not Significant. MBA will describe effects found to be not significant, in accordance with Section 15128 of the CEQA Guidelines, by listing them with brief explanations of why they are not significant. Based upon our knowledge and familiarity with the project site and understanding of the proposed project, the following environmental issues at a minimum may have the potential to result in no significant impacts: - Agricultural Resources - Mineral Resources - Biological Resources ■ Establishment of Thresholds of Significance. MBA will work with the City to establish thresholds of significance for each environmental issue to be addressed in the EIR. In addition to the general standards of significance identified in the CEQA Guidelines for environmental issues, other established thresholds applicable to this project include those for: - Air Quality (South Coast Air Quality Management District) - Traffic (City of Santa Ana) 8 Santa Ana East Memory Lane,/Town and Country Manor EIR SCOPE OF WORK Noise (City of Santa Ana) The thresholds will be stated in each technical section of the EIR so the reader can clearly understand the analytical process used to identify potential project effects. Effects Identified as Potentially Significant. MBA will conduct an environmental analysis of the proposed project to include the documentation of baseline conditions, project and cumulative impact evaluations, and formulation of mitigation measures for each environmental issue. It is assumed the EIR may need to evaluate potential impacts associated with the following topics: - Views/Shade and Shadows - Air Quality - Geology and Soils - Hazards and Hazardous Materials - Hydrology/Water Quality - Land Use/Planning - Noise - Population/Housing - Transportation/Traffic - Utilities/Service Systems ■ Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts. MBA will discuss all significant unavoidable adverse impacts, in conformance with the State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15126(b). Included in the discussion will be any impacts that can be partially mitigated, but not to a level that is less than significant. Any mitigation measures considered, but eliminated because of new impacts associated with their implementation, will also be discussed. Alternatives to the Proposed Project. This section will include a discussion of the mandated no project alternative and at least two feasible project development alternatives which would achieve the basic project objectives while minimizing or avoiding potentially significant project impacts. Prior to proceeding with the preparation of the project alternatives, MBA will meet with staff to review the impact analysis and determine the alternatives in consultation with the City's Project Manager and City staff. The purpose of the alternatives analysis is to evaluate project alternatives that effectively reduce or eliminate significant adverse impacts without regard to attainment of project financial/economic objectives. In determining the feasibility of alternative sites, the report will consider site suitability, economic viability, infrastructure availability, General Plan consistency, other regulatory limitations, and whether the applicant could reasonably acquire, control, and/or have access to the site. A general discussion of all significant adverse environmental impacts associated with each project alternative and a summary matrix providing a comparative analysis of the project and project alternatives with respect to significant environmental impacts will be included in the Draft EIR. The environmentally superior alternative will be identified. ■ Executive Summary. MBA will prepare a summary, presenting the significant conclusions of the EIR in a manner that is easily understood by the public, using a table format to identify the significant impacts and the effectiveness of the recommended mitigation measures. A summary of the alternatives analyses will also be presented, as well as issues still to be resolved and issues subject to potential controversy as required by the City of Santa Ana CEQA procedures. 9 Santa Ana East Memory Lane/Town and Country Manor EIR SCOPE OF WORK ■ Other CEQA-Mandated Sections. MBA will also be responsible for the preparation of the following sections of the EIR: - Table of Contents - Irreversible and Irretrievable Commitment of Resources - List of Organizations and Persons Consulted List of Preparers of the EIR - References Appendices Task 2.4: Draft EIR The contents will be consistent with all applicable provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (1970) and shall include the text of the Screencheck Draft EIR with revisions directed by the City's project manager and environmental administrator.
