CITY OF REDWOOD CITY BROADWAY PLAZA MIXED - USE PROJECT EIR EXHIBIT A : SCOPE OF WORK AND COSTS project. On the basis of responses from public service providers, PlaceWorks will analyze potential impacts resulting from the project, and recommend mitigation measures as needed. A Water Supply Assessment (WSA) will be required for the proposed project. This scope of work assumes that the WSA will be prepared under a separate contract with the City. The utilities analysis in the EIR will reference the findings of the WSA. PlaceWorks is able to obtain a subconsultant to prepare the WSA, if requested by the City. Task C. Alternatives Analysis Building from the discussion of alternatives at the kick-off meeting, PlaceWorks will develop a list of up to three draft alternatives, including the CEQA-required No Project Alternative. We will work with City staff to finalize the list of alternatives, and then complete an impact analysis of each alternative. The alternatives analysis will be a qualitative discussion and will identify the environmentally superior alternative. The alternatives will be designed to avoid potentially significant impacts identified in Task B and could include a reconfigured site plan or lowered density alternative. This scope of work assumes that, under a separate contract with the City, Hexagon Transportation Consultants will provide an evaluation of transportation and traffic impacts for the three alternatives, Task D. Administrative Draft EIR PlaceWorks will prepare an ADEIR and submit it electronically to City staff for review and comment. The impact analysis will be comprehensive and cover all CEQA requirements. The ADEIR will include a section summarizing resource categories scoped out of the EIR and providing justification and citations in support of this determination, Significance criteria will be identified for each impact topic based upon thresholds of significance identified in Appendix G, Environmental Checklist Form, of the State CEQA Guidelines and identified in the scoping process. Impacts and mitigation measures will be organized and discussed by topic. For each identified environmental impact, a set of feasible mitigation measures will be recommended. The ADEIR will cover the following topics: • Executive Summary. PlaceWorks will create a summary in a form consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15123. This summary will facilitate a quick understanding of environmental issues and the actions required to mitigate potential impacts. It will include a summary table of impacts, mitigation measures, and levels of significance before and after mitigation. • Project Description. The ADEIR will include the project description drafted for the project as part of Task A.2, Project Description. • Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures. The existing setting information, impact analyses, and mitigation measures developed in Task B will be combined to create chapters describing environmental consequences for each CEQA-required topic.
