EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF SERVICES Consultant will prepare an IS that addresses the environmental issues required by the State CEQA Guidelines and the City of Redwood City's requirements. The IS will include a project description, a description of the existing environmental conditions, a discussion of environmental impacts associated with the proposed development (based on CEQA thresholds of significance and the CEQA Checklist), and identification of proposed and possible mitigation measures. Up to five copies of the Administrative Draft IS will be provided to the City for review and comment. DJP&A will revise the Administrative Draft IS based on comments received from City staff. After revision, an electronic screen check version of the document will be sent to the City for final approval. Once final approval is received, the document will constitute the IS and a maximum of 35 bound hard copies and one electronic copy (PDF) will be reproduced and delivered to the City of Redwood City for circulation to public agencies and the public, and posting on the City's website. After the public review period, Consultant will respond to comments received on the IS, if necessary. The IS will evaluate the environmental impacts of the proposed residential project, focusing on the following issues: Air Quality/Air Toxics /Greenhouse Gas Emissions The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) has developed screening criteria to provide a conservative indication of whether a project could result in potentially significant air quality impacts. If the screening criteria are not met by the project, then a detailed air quality assessment of air pollutant emissions is not required. Based on the Operational-Related Criteria Air Pollutant and Precursor Screening Level Sizes table in the BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project is below the operational criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions screening sizes. Therefore, a detailed operational air quality and greenhouse gas assessment is not required. Because the project site is located directly adjacent to existing residential land uses, a construction emissions analysis will be prepared. If significant impacts are identified based on the technical analysis, mitigation measures will be identified. CEQA Air Quality Guidelines developed by BAAQMD recommend that residential projects be evaluated for community risk when they are located within 1,000 feet of freeways, high traffic volume roadways, and/or stationary permitted sources of toxic air contaminants (TACs). The proposed project will be located adjacent to EI Camino Real which has over 10,000 average annual daily trips (AADT). This source of TACs could expose future residents of the project site to air toxins. To address the community risk impacts, lllingworth & Rodkin will complete TAC modeling. Cancer risks, chronic and acute hazards and annual PM2.5 concentrations will be predicted at the project site. These levels will be compared to the BAAQMD recommended thresholds for single ATTY/AGR/2012.054/DAVID J POWERS AND ASSOCIATES KENSINGTON ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY REV:05-08-12 VR Page 10 of 15
