EXHIBIT A ATTACHMENT "A" Downtown precise Plan Phase II consultation by Circa: Historic Property Development Detailed Scope of Work for Downtown Precise Plan respondinq to CEQA Challenqe: The following tasks have been outlined to provide specific input for the contract proposal by "Circa: Historic Property Development" (Circa). The tasks listed below have been outlined by City staff to clarify the City's need and intent in the response to the legal CEQA-related challenge to the Downtown Precise Plan (DPP). It is anticipated by staff that Circa may reorganize the contents below and modify the tasks according to a different format. . Task 1 - Research and Documentation: Confirm the historic inventory both individual properties and districts. Identify each resource according to the following suggested tiers: 1) National Register Listed or Eligible, State Landmarks; 2) Local Landmarks and Contributing Structures to Historic Districts; 3) Local Inventory, Potential Resources. 4) Properties adjacent to and/or affecting resources. This inventory will include all resources and districts within the plan area as well as those within a one block "zone of sensitivity" around the plan boundary. Circa is to review the City's DPR forms or evaluation reports for each resource and district, update if deemed inadequate, and prepare new DPR forms (primary record only) for potential resources that have not been previously studied, as needed. This work will include new research and a brief analysis of the properties in the expansion zone. Circa may decide to set a limit on the number of DPR's or Building Structure Reports (BSO's) as part of the scope. Previously, Circa conducted a pier review of a historic analysis (report prepared by Carey and Co.) regarding the resources affected by the proposed DPP. Circa also conducted a windshield survey of the subject resources as well as a review of the context (s) of entire plan area. It is anticipated that limited additional field work will be required to confirm the property evaluations and related context as well as adjacent properties affected. All field work will need to be fully documented and integrated (as attachments or appendices) in the technical memorandum (see below). . Task 2 - Case Studies of City's Historic Preservation Work and evaluation process: Utilize actual/real examples to illustrate how the process has been satisfactorily applied in Redwood City for properties at the proposed historic levels/tiers (noted above). Examples may include the Main Library (adaptive re- use of historic fie station); Fitzpatrick Building; Courthouse Fac;ade Restoration and Courthouse Square; as well as non-contributors to historic districts such as the "Berkeley Extension Building"; active work for expanding the Main Street Historic District; active work acquiring sites for moving "orphaned" historic homes/structures.
