EXHIBIT "A" PREPARATION OF AN INITIAL STUDY (2150 ROOSEVELT AVENUE) SCOPE OF WORK DJP&A proposes to prepare a revised Initial Study, and provide associated environmental consulting services, in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines and the City of Redwood City's requirements, for the proposed residential redevelopment project. We anticipate that the project, as proposed, would be eligible for a Mitigated Negative Declaration. As a separate task from the preparation of the Initial StudylNegative Declaration, this scope of work includes the preparation of a fiscal impact analysis and an analysis of impacts on property values (Task V). The fiscal impact analysis and the analysis of impacts on property values will be prepared by Mundie and Associates, under contract to DJP&A. I. ScopinglKick-off Meeting David 1.
