Purpose The purpose of this scope of services is to provide the City of Redwood City (City) Planning Division with professional consulting services related to CEQA support for the additional environmental documentation required for the Redwood City Downtown Precise Plan (DPP). The City certified an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the DPP in February 2007. The EIR certification is being litigated in San Mateo County Superior Court. A Tentative Statement of Decision (TSOD) was issued by the Court on April 24, 2008 and a Final Statement of Decision (FSOD) was issued on September 11, 2008. The City has elected to proceed with the additional CEQA documentation that the FSOD indicates is required for the DPP.

The SEIR will be prepared by Wagstaff and Associates (WA) under separate contract to the City. The City has requested that Valerie J.
