REV: 11-19-25 LR <br />b. Task 12.b Environmental and Historic Review <br />a. The Consultant will team with sub-consultant, Archaeological/Historical <br />Consultants (A/HC), to develop biological and cultural assessments of <br />the watershed study area. The biological assessment will include <br />reviewing species occurrences and habitat types throughout the project <br />area and identifying potential on-site and off-site mitigation options for <br />future infrastructure improvement projects. The cultural assessment will <br />include a review of the cultural record search, early outreach with local <br />Native American Tribes, and a general assessment for subsurface <br />archaeological sensitivity that will inform future environmental <br />documentation and tribal consultation effort. <br />Deliverables: Biological Resources Assessment (PDF), Cultural Resources <br />Assessment (PDF), and Preliminary Impact Report (PDF). <br />Task 13. Engineers Cost Estimate, up to $3,962 Time and Materials (T&M) <br />Under this task, the Consultant will provide a Class 3 opinion of probable cost for the <br />selected alternative that will be developed. <br />Deliverables: Detailed Class 3 Opinion of Probable Cost Estimate (Excel and PDF). <br />Task 14. Benefit-Cost Analysis, up to $41,430 Time and Materials (T&M) <br />Consultant to provide the key submission requirements for a future FEMA funding <br />sub-application. This task will develop a benefit-cost analysis of the preferred <br />alternative in Task 9 to identify benefits and optimize benefit/cost ratios. This Task <br />includes: <br />a. Task 14.a Sub-application and Benefit-Cost Analysis the Consultant will tailor <br />a benefit cost analysis for the preferred alternative in Task 9 to identify multiple <br />benefits (not limited to rudimentary approaches) and to optimize benefit/cost <br />ratios. FEMA’s Hazus v7-software (the latest version of Hazus or equivalent <br />FEMA approved at the time of work under this agreement) will be used to <br />estimate flood damages in the Project area for the existing and proposed <br />condition for the 30 and 100yr frequency flood events, with consideration to <br />proposed operations. Hazus v7 estimates both direct and indirect losses due <br />to floods and is accepted by CalOES and FEMA for grant applications. The <br />Consultant will also look for additional mitigation benefits to bolster the BCR <br />including, for example, estimating traffic delay and collisions (safety) benefits, <br />and ecological benefits of proposed improvements. <br />The Consultant and team will then utilize the FEMA BCA Toolkit v6.0 to <br />determine the BCR of the Project. This toolkit accounts for the expected <br />damages for various return frequency events for both existing and improved <br />ATTY/AGR.2025.317/Wood Rodgers, Inc. (Page 29 of 77)
