• Discuss whether implications of the project triggering the expansion or construction of new infrastructure or facilities. Consultant Deliverables: • One electronic copy of Administrative Draft I in MS Word • One electronic copy of Administrative Draft I in Adobe PDF format City Involvement: Review and comment on Administrative Draft I. Task 4. CEQA Recommendations Purpose: Provide a recommendation to the City on the most appropriate level of CEQA review required for the proposed project. Provide a scope, budget, and schedule for the next phase of the CEQA review, if necessary. Discussion: At this stage, Consultant will recommend how to proceed with the CEQA process, depending on the findings from the Administrative Draft IS I. If significant and unavoidable impacts are identified and an EIR is required, the City may or may not choose to go through the steps to prepare the subsequent IS drafts (Administrative Draft IS II as described in Task 5). If all impacts can be mitigated to a less-than-significant level, then an Administrative Draft II, Screencheck, and Final IS/MND will be prepared, as outlined in Task 5. Task 5. Administrative Draft IS II, Final Screencheck, and Public Draft IS/MND Purpose: Consultant to prepare an Administrative Draft IS II in response to City comments on Administrative Draft IS I, the Final Screencheck, and the Public Draft IS/MND. Discussion: Consultant will prepare an Administrative Draft II to respond to the City's comments on Administrative Draft I. Following, based on comments received from City staff, Consultant will revise the Administrative Draft II as necessary and prepare a Screencheck primarily to verify that the City's comments have been addressed and incorporated into the document. Based on the analysis provided in Administrative Draft IS I and II, and recommendations from Consultant regarding CEQA review as outlined in Task 4 above, Consultant will prepare a final Screencheck, and the Draft IS/MND for public review unless the City determines that the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report is required. If the City determines that an EIR is required, Consultant will prepare and submit to the City for review a subsequent scope of services for preparation of an EIR. Assumptions: The level of effort is variable and depends on City comments on the Administrative Draft I. In addition, comments submitted during the community outreach meeting could be considered during this task. The level of effort included in the cost estimate reflects the duration of the task, the available time to turnaround the reports, and minor comments from City staff and members of the public/commenting agencies. During those periods when Consultant is responding to comments on Administrative Draft I, Administrative Draft II, and the Screencheck, we expect to be fully engaged and committed at the hours estimated to meet the schedule deadlines.
