Red Morton Park Regional Stormwater Capture Project Redwood City, CA One electronic draft copy of each Phase I ESA report (the Report) for review and comment is included in the scope. Once the Reports have been reviewed by the City, the Consultant will finalize the Reports within 3 business days of receipt of the Client's comments and agreed upon revisions. Assumptions Consultant assumes the following for the completion of this task: • Timely, complete site access is provided on the date and time scheduled for the site inspections. • The site inspection will include a walk-through of open and readily accessible buildings and structures (if any) on the site. It is assumed that complete access to all site areas that need to be inspected will be provided at the scheduled date(s) and time(s). The Consultant will only enter properties or structures for which access has been granted and COVID-19-related physical distance limitations can be maintained consistent with the health and safety plan (HASP) prepared for the site inspection. • There are no material changes in site conditions from those described in the following exhibits. Changes in conditions may impact the scope of work and/or modify the budget and schedule; should unanticipated conditions be encountered, the Client will be notified as soon as practical. • The Client will provide for site access and assist in the identification of those knowledgeable about the history of site usage. • The Client will provide all available drawings, maps, and all other environmental documentation regardingthe site it has in its possession or has knowledge of within three business days of authorization notice to proceed. Delayed delivery of documents may result in a change in schedule and/or budget. • Regulatory agencies' files are provided electronically to the Consultant, or available to review online by team personnel, within approximately one business week after receipt of authorization to proceed. • It is expected that access to some agency files may not be available for review in the time period available for the Phase I ESA due to the State -mandated COVID-19-related limitations. The resulting data gaps maybe significant and affect conclusions and recommendations. • No environmental sampling of soil or other media, lead in drinking water, potential asbestos -containing materials (ACMs), lead -containing materials (LCMs), or other hazardous substances is included in the Phase I ESA scope of work. Task 5.2. Prepare Administrative Draft Initial Study and Determine CEQA Approach Following completion of the 30% design submittal, the Consultant will review the project plans, prepare a comprehensive data request outlining the information needed to complete the project's CEQA analysis, and formulate a stable and accurate description of the proposed project, including its location, objectives, existing site conditions, key features, and potential construction and operational characteristics. The Project Description will be supported with maps, photos, and graphics as appropriate, and will be used as the basis for the setting information and impact evaluations presented in the Initial Study (IS). The Consultant will prepare an Administrative Draft IS that complies with the requirements of CEQA and supports the City in determining if the proposed project may potentially cause, either individually or cumulatively, a significant effect on the environment. The IS will evaluate, in appropriate factual detail, all aspects of the proposed project usingthe checklist questions identified in CEQA Guidelines Appendix G. One of the objectives of an Initial Study is to confirm the appropriate level of CEQA documentation for a project. If there is no substantial evidence that the project may cause a significant effect on the environment, either individually or cumulatively, the City may proceed with the preparation of a Negative Declaration (ND) or Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the proposed project. Although not anticipated, the Consultant will notify the City immediately if evaluations or impact analyses conducted for the IS indicate the proposed project may have a potentially significant impact that could require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The preparation of an EIR will require the Consultant to prepare a separate scope of work for City review. Based on the Consultant current understanding of the project, the Consultant anticipates the proposed project will have little or no impact in some of the resource areas analyzed under CEQA because the project area does ATTY/AGR.2020.309/Craftwater Inc (Page 20 of 34)
