Preparation of the Final EIR After the mandatory 45-day circulation period, Consultant will prepare an administrative draft Final EIR that includes responses to all comments received by City on the Draft EIR and appropriate revisions to the text of the DEIR, as necessary. This scope assumes that up to an equivalent of 20 pages of substantive comments will be received on the Draft EIR. If more comments are received, Consultant can provide assistance in responding to them on a time and materials basis, upon City's authorization. Upon completion, six copies of the administrative draft Final EIR will be submitted to City for review. This scope assumes no new technical analysis will be required to respond to comments. This scope does not include work required for recirculation of all or part of the EIR, should City determine that to be necessary. After making revisions requested by City, Consultant will print a sufficient number of copies of the Final EIR for distribution. This scope of work assumes up to six copies for City and up to 25 copies for decision makers and agencies/organizations who commented on the DEIR. A copy of the Final EIR will also be provided to City in PDF format, for posting on City's website. Preparation of the Mitigation, Monitoring or Reporting Program In accordance with State law and the CEQA Guidelines, Consultant will prepare a Mitigation, Monitoring or Reporting Program (MMRP) that identifies when mitigation measures will be implemented, who will be responsible for implementing them, and who will provide oversight. The MMRP will be completed and submitted to City prior to the Planning Commission hearing on the project. Consultant will also compile a list of conditions of approval as identified in the EIR and provide that to City with the MMRP. Findings Consultant cannot legally prepare findings, but will assist the project applicant's attorney and/or City in compiling information for findings required under CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, if requested to do so. Consultant cannot assist in preparing a Statement of Overriding Considerations, should one be required, to avoid an appearance of a conflict of interest. However, Consultant can advise the project applicant and City on documentation to support such a statement. Meetings This scope of work includes Senior Project Manager attendance at up to 10 meetings during the course of the project. These meetings would include the scoping meeting, up to five project meetings with City, and four public hearings. At the public hearings, Consultant will be prepared to present information about the Draft EIR and respond to questions from Planning Commission and City Council. If attendance of Consultant or Subconsultants are needed at additional meetings, it can be added to the scope, upon approval by City, on a time and materials basis. 17 City Attorney Approved Version 2-13-14
