December 10, 2007 SUBJECT Peninsula Park - Amendment to Agreement for Professional Environmental Assessment Services RECOMMENDATION Approve by motion Amendment #3 to the Agreement with Wagstaff and Associates for professional environmental review services for the Peninsula Park project. BACKGROUND In Spring 2006, R.C Peninsula Park, LLC submitted an application for a mixed use development containing 796 multi-family residential units; 10,000 square feet of neighborhood serving retail space; a 200-room hotel; public park areas totaling 2.79 acres; and 5.38 acres of marina and canals. The project review included the preparation of an Addendum to the 2003 Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Marina Shores Village Project. The Marina Shores Village approval was repealed through a local voter referendum in November 2004; however, the certification of the Final EIR was not part of the referendum. The City has determined that an Addendum to the previously certified EIR is the appropriate environmental review document for the Peninsula Park project, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines. The Addendum describes the changes and additions to the previously certified EIR and identifies mitigation measures that have been removed as a result of the reduced project scope, mitigation measures that remain applicable, and the impacts that continue to be significant and unavoidable. During the preparation of the Addendu"., staff made the determination that the 2002 traffic counts used in the certified ErR no 10nger represented existing conditions for the environmental analysis. As a result, new traffic counts were conducted in September 2007. Wagstaff and Associates, environmental consultant to the City for the Peninsula Park project, along with Fehr and Peers (traffic engineers), have prepared a scope of work to provide the additional traffic counts and associated analysis, complete text revisions to the Addendum, provide response to comments, etc. This proposal to conduct additional work for a total of $37,003.90 will be the third amendment to the original contract if it is approved. A brief history of this contract and associated amendments is summarized below: . October 2006: Original contract for $91,455. . May 2007: Amendment #1 for $6,500 to update the traffic analysis based on the 2002 traffic counts in the Marina Shores Village EIR. This amendment was approved by the City Manager because it fell within the 10% contingency allowance of the original agreement. . November 2007: Amendment #2 for $2,400 to revise text regarding wastewater and general preparation of the final document. This amendment was approved
