• Task 2.1.3 — Fair Share Contribution Calculations (Fehr & Peers Task 3). Some transportation -related mitigation measures identified in the Draft EIR required fair share contributions, beyond payment of the traffic impact fee (TIF). Fehr & Peers will assist the City with selecting a methodology for calculating the fair share contributions based on best practices and previous EIRs completed in Redwood City. This task will include up to two (2) coordination calls with City staff. Task 2.2 —Revised Project: Description and Comparative Analysis Consultant will prepare Chapter 1 of the Response to Comments / Final EIR to explain the CEQA context and approach to the Final EIR. Chapter 2 will describe and analyze the Applicant's Revised Project, identifying changed impacts and mitigation measures where appropriate. The assessment will discuss the impacts and mitigation measures of the Revised Project, specifying those that are different from or no longer required of those identified for the Project. The analysis in Chapter 2 will allow the Revised Project to be considered as the project the Applicant proposes for consideration, replacing the Draft EIR Project. This scope assumes that the Draft EIR Project is no longer being fully analyzed for consideration; it will only be described to the extent required to respond to comments on the Draft EIR. Transportation: The transportation work supporting this task is discussed under Task 2.1. Air Quality, GHG Emissions and Noise. To address the potential air quality and GHG emissions of the Revised Project, Consultant will conduct a quantitative screening analysis that applies scaling factors to determine whether the revised Project would result in different impacts compared to those for the Draft EIR Project. Specifically, vehicle trip generation values calculated for the Draft EIR Project and the Revised Project (Task 2.1.1) will be used to scale estimated mobile emissions for the air quality and GHG emissions impact assessment. Similarly, land use square footages of the Draft EIR Project and the Revised Project will be used to scale indirect and direct emissions from space and water heating and electricity demand estimated for the air quality and GHG emissions impact assessment. This screening analysis will allow for a comparative determination of impacts without conducting additional project- specific air quality and GHG emissions model runs. For construction, emissions will be estimated for the Revised Project based on a scaling of land use square footage values Similarly, for the analysis of traffic noise impacts of the Revised Project, Consultant will use the vehicle trip generation values calculated by subconsultant for the Draft EIR and the Revised Project (Task 2.1.1) to calculate the change in traffic volumes along the roadway network; this will allow for a comparison of traffic noise impacts without the additional effort of conducting additional project -specific noise model runs. Other Topics: Other topics are expected to be discussed at the level of detail necessary to compare impacts of the Revised Project to those of the Draft EIR Project. Task 2.3 — "50-50" No Project, Existing Zoning Alternative (50 R&D / 50 Ancillary Office) Chapter 2 will also include an analysis of a new "no project" alternative not previously analyzed in the Draft EIR: a new "'50-50' No Project, Existing Zoning Alternative (50 R&D/50 Office):' The new Page 5 of 10 REV: 08-06-19 PR ATTY/AGR.Amend No. 2/ESA Harbor View Project
