6.A. - Page 22 of 23 Redwood City RFP Supplemental EIR - MULW Amendment The City will be processing the Zoning Code and associated General Plan amendments. The consultant will be responsible for analyzing the potential environmental impacts of the increased density and intensity associated with potential developments who pursue the community benefits program in this district. The General Plan EIR prepared a similar analysis for Mixed -Use Corridor (MUC) and Mixed -Use Neighborhood (MUN) zoning designations, which already have the community benefits program in place. We understand this amendment will require a Supplemental EIR to increase the permitted density to 40 dwelling units per acre and to increase the allowed building height. QUALIFICATIONS 1. The firm(s) for the proposal will be selected on the basis of professional qualifications, experience and demonstrated competence. 2. Previous experience in preparing concise Supplemental EIRs. 3. Ability to communicate effectively, meet schedules, coordinate activities with multiple parties, work closely with staff, and perform within budget and schedule limitations must be shown. KEY FACTORS Important factors in the City's selection will be the consultant's ability to keep the document focused, concise, and meet the desired timeline (see section below). The selected consultant team will be responsible for working with staff to prepare environmental analysis and associated technical reports, and to present to the Planning Commission and City Council as needed. TIMELINE The City's goal is to have the Supplemental EIR and Zoning Amendments completed and considered by the Planning Commission and City Council in early 2019 with final adoption by February or March of 2019. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS Proposals should contain at least the following information: • A description of the firm's background, staffing and environmental planning capabilities. Include a brief description of the organization, its constituent parts and size variation in the past five (5) years. • A description of the proposed Scope of Work by the consultant and understanding of the project. This will include the number and type of graphics to be provided in the environmental document. • Estimated timeline for project. • Total cost for the project and a breakdown of all costs of report preparation including professional staff allocation to specific tasks, clerical reproduction, mailing and cost for sub consultants. • The scope should include an adequate budget for meetings with staff and public hearings (4-5 in-person meetings with staff and a minimum of four public hearings). We anticipate that the scope of work should also include one administrative draft review of the DEIR. It should also account for approximately 2-3 alternatives (including a dense housing option), plus the no project alternative. • Identify and provide contact information for the project manager and names and resumes of all staff involved. The information will include names of staff members who will attend meetings/public hearing. 3
