REV: 11-07-23 SK for City/Engineering team review and approval before publication. MIG will then finalize the document (Public Draft IS/MND/EA/FONSI) for circulation. The subonsultant will provide an electronic (print-ready) version so the City can make hard copies of the document as necessary for public review or post to their website. MIG will prepare the Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt the IS that the City can use to fulfill the public noticing requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15072. MIG will provide text that the City can use to provide public noticing consistent with CEQA and NEPA requirements (e.g., newspaper publication, direct mailers, and/or posting of notice on and off site, etc.). Distribution of the public notice and availability of the document for public review will be the responsibility of the City as lead agency. Ther scope of work assumes the City will file the NOI with the County Clerk. The public review period is 30 days. MIG will prepare the Notice of Completion (NOC) which can be submitted by the City along with the electronic version of the IS/MND for the State Clearinghouse state agency review. The budget includes staff time to prepare and electronically submit the files to the State Clearinghouse. Consultant will assume that the City is already registered with the State Clearinghouse to submit files electronically and that the City will grant MIG staff upload authorization to transmit the files. Task Deliverables: Screen Check IS/MND/EA/FONSI (electronic PDF), Public Draft IS/MND/EA/FONSI (electronic PDF), Notices including NOI, NOC (electronic). NEPA Analysis: the subconsultant will prepare an EA specific to NEPA and the guidelines provided by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ). The impact analysis will identify all potential environmental impacts and the conditions that would change as a result of the project; analyze and evaluate all impacts to determine the significance of their effects on the human environment; recommend and analyze feasible ways in which the project could be modified in order to eliminate or minimize adverse environmental impacts; examine alternatives to the project itself; and complete all environmental review requirements necessary for the project’s compliance with applicable authorities. This proposal assumes the EA will result in a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), indicating that the project is not an action that will result in a significant impact on the quality of the human environment. Analysis specific to the EA will include: Responses to Statutes, Executive Orders, and Regulations listed at 24 CFR §58.5 and §58.6 Responses to Environmental Assessment Factors pursuant to 24 CFR §58.40 The biological resources technical memorandum will be forwarded to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service for review and approval, if necessary due to the presence of sensitive species and/or habitat.
