REV: 07-15-2021 VR Exhibit “A” SCOPE OF SERVICES AND FEE Project Scope of Work HMB Redwood City LLC (Applicant) is proposing a new mixed-use development at 1125 Arguello Street for a 55,052 square foot multifamily housing building comprised of 33 for-sale 100% affordable units, approximately 300,000 square feet of office space, and a 4,132 square foot public-serving child care facility (Project). Focused EIR Scope of Work Consultant will review and rely on prior planning and environmental documents (e.g., the 2017 El Camino Real Corridor Plan, the 2010 Redwood City General Plan EIR, the 2010 Downtown Precise Plan EIR) to screen out Project-level and cumulative analyses as much as possible. An Initial Study will be prepared to provide for a thorough disclosure of potential environmental impacts, and a focused EIR will follow only for those resource topics for which a significant and unavoidable impact or over which considerable controversy may arise. Based on a review of the RFP and the Project setting, it is anticipated the more significant potential environmental issues associated with development of the Project will include aesthetics, cultural resources (built environment), traffic, air quality, and noise impacts. Prior to initiating work on the EIR, Consultant will prepare an Initial Study to scope the EIR so that it is limited only to those resource considerations that need to be evaluated in detail. Given the existing long-term operations on the site, the EIR will need to provide a detailed description of the baseline setting from which to assess the potential environmental impacts associated with both construction and long-term operations of the Project. Task 1A: Project Initiation, Project Description, Initial Study, and NOP Project Initiation Upon Project authorization, Consultant Principal in Charge, and Project Manager will meet with the City via video conference to initiate the environmental review process. Lines of communication will be established, and the scope of work, schedule, and cost estimate will be reviewed and may be refined. To maximize efficiency, Consultant’s kick-off meeting agendas include, but are not limited, to the following action items: 1.Introduce and establish lines of communication among the Project team and identify roles and responsibilities. 2.Identify, discuss, and revise, as necessary, the scope, methodology, content, approach, and schedule for completion. 3.Review/refine the Project objectives (CEQA). 4.Discuss and define alternatives to the Project. 5.Discuss the schedule for providing information to Consultant for documents required for preparation of the EIR. 6.Within a week of the kick-off meeting, Consultant shall prepare and submit any revisions to the scope of work.
