EXHIBIT A: SCOPE OF SERVICES FORA NEPA(NATIONALEMAF20hMENTAL�NACT�ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 612 JEFFERSO►v AvENUE (APN#052-347-080), REDWOOD CITY, CA 94063 BASIC RESEARCH Consultant will seek all relevant materials and data as source documentation for the Environmental Assessment, including FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map, building and facility history, plans, regulations and related studies. In all cases, consultant will use available resources where appropriate. It HISTORIC PRESERVATION Section 106 compliance requires the Agency Official to make a determination as to whether any of the project activities could have an "adverse effect" to the setting or character-defining features of any historically significant property in the Area of Potential Effects (APE). An historically significant property is one that would be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, whether it is currently listed or not. The project involves new construction of a building on a vacant parcel. In this case, property adjacent to the site at 620 Jefferson Avenue and 611 Middlefield Road have been designated a Historic Resource fo be Preserved. As a project adjacent to Historic Resources, the City of Redwood City requires that the proposal be reviewed by an architectural historian and the Historic Resources Advisory Committee to avoid adverse impacts to these properties. This proposal assumes that a determination of "No Historic Properties will be adversely affected" is appropriate. Consultant will recommend a Section 106 Determination to the Certifying Officer. To complete the consultation, consultant will prepare Section 106 correspondence for signature by the Agency Official to the State Historic Preservation O�cer essentially concurring with the contents of an Eligibility Evaluation report prepared by consultant. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND OTHER CONSULTATIONS Per requirements of HUD Environmental Regulations, consultant will summarize the Phase I report to disclose potentially hazardous and toxic materials sites and other potential environmental issues in the vicinity. Consultations and evaluations with the US Department of Fish and Wildlife and Army Corps of Engineers appear to not be necessary at this time. SPEC[AL STUDIES HUD's own Environmental Regulations, found in 24 CFR Part 51 B, require that the project provides future residents and occupants with sufficient noise attenuation from traffic-generated noise so that interior living spaces experience no more than 45 decibels noise and exterior living areas, such as patios and playgrounds, experience no more than 65 decibels noise. When exterior noise conditions exceed 65 decibels (day- night average), HUD requires preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement.
