ICF Jones & Stokes (Consultant) to prepare an environmental impact report (EIR) for the National City Bayfront Projects and Plan Amendments ("Project" or "proposed project") to satisfy the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as amended; the San Diego Unified Port District (District) Guidelines for Compliance with CEQA (per Resolution #97-191); and any other relevant local plans, regulations, or procedures. Consultant shall perform the services required under this Scope of Work under the direction of the District's Planning & Green Port Department. Based on the District, City of National City (City) and Consultant's understanding of the proposed project pursuant to information provided by the District, City and Project Applicants, the following scope of work, cost estimate, and schedule is provided to complete an EIR necessary for the evaluation of potential environmental impacts associated with development of the Project (see Exhibit A to this Agreement for the Project Description). Major work tasks and work products are outlined below. It is expected that this Scope of .Work and not -to -exceed fee shall cover all the tasks needed for Consultant to complete the EIR process for the Project. In the event of any inconsistencies between the Agreement and this Scope of Work, the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall prevail. I. WORK PROGRAM This Work Program consists of meetings and project management; technical studies; and preparation of the draft EIR and final EIR, including screencheck versions. The Work Program is divided into 15 main tasks, as described below. Task 1 — Review Background Information Consultant will review all relevant documents, technical studies, background information, and applicable information in an effort to gather all the existing data and project information currently available. This will help Consultant provide a thorough project description in Task 2 below and streamline the analysis to prepare the Initial Study in Task 3 below. It is assumed that documentation will be provided by the District or will be on file at the District for research purposes. Task 2 — Project Description Using the information obtained from Task 1, Consultant will apply its understanding of the existing conditions and operations, and any information provided by the District to prepare an environmental setting and project description that meet all the requirements of CEQA. The project description will contain sufficient detail on both the physical improvements and the projected operations to ensure the technical analyses are clear on how the Project would change the existing condition. During this task, Consultant will assist the District in preparing project objectives that will help craft and evaluate alternatives to the Project later in the EIR process. The objectives should not be overly narrow or broad, but should allow for a reasonable range of alternatives that would reduce one or more significant impacts associated with the Project. Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 1 of 18 66 73 PAGE_ 33 Task 2 Deliverables — Draft and Final Project Description, including figures Task 3 — Initial Study/Notice of Preparation Consultant will prepare an Initial Study using Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines. The purpose of the Initial Study will be to help the District determine the appropriate level of environmental review and to help focus the analysis contained in the EIR. Based on the existing conditions present at the project site and the likely impacts associated with the Project, Consultant assumes the Initial Study will determine that there would be no significant impacts to Agriculture and Forestry Resources, Mineral Resources, and Population/Housing. Therefore, these issues will only be discussed in the Initial Study and summarized in the Effects Found Not to Be Significant section of the EIR. Consultant assumes the initial study will find that there is enough evidence to support a potentially significant impact, and therefore a complete analysis in the EIR, for the following resource areas: Aesthetics and Visual Resources Air Quality and Health Risk Biological Resources Cultural Resources • Geologic Hazards and Soils • GHG Emissions and Climate Change • Hazardous Materials/Hazards Hydrology and Water Quality Land Use and Planning Noise and Vibration Public Services Recreation • Transportation/Traffic • Utilities and Energy Use Consultant will use the most recent District template to prepare a Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the Project, followed by preparation of the Notice of Completion (NOC) for transmittal to the State Clearinghouse (SCH). The NOP will meet all CEQA requirements, such as providing a project location, a brief project description, the potentially significant environmental impacts, dates for the scoping period, and the details of the scoping meeting. The District will be responsible for the distribution and filing of the NOP. In lieu of printing hard copies of the IS/NOP, Consultant recommends using the 2-page SCH summary form that can be included in the SCH package along with the NOC and 15 CDs of the IS/NOP. Upon completion of the public review period, Consultant will organize and catalog all comment letters received on the NOP. The District will coordinate/lead the EIR Scoping Meeting to occur during the public review period. Consultant will attend/participate in the scoping meeting with budget provided in Task 14. In addition, Consultant will organize and catalog all comment letters received on the NOP. Task 3 Deliverables — Draft and Final IS and NOP, with project description and figures. Up to 30 hard copies of Final IS and NOP Task 4 — Technical Studies Task 4 includes preparation of technical studies anticipated to be required to support the EIR analysis and to comply with federal, state, and local requirements. Consistent with previous Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 2 of 18 PAGE guidance (including from the District, a standalone technical report is not necessary for analysis prepared by Consultant (e.g., air quality, GHG emissions, noise, etc.) and the study's findings will be incorporated directly into the Draft EIR, with technical support information (technical emission calculation details and emissions calculations) provided as an appendix,to the EIR. Task 4.1: Air Quality and Health Risk Consultant will prepare an Air Quality and Health Risk technical study to support the EIR. Construction and operation of the Project would result in criteria pollutant and toxic air contaminant (TAC) emissions in different quantities than existing conditions. In evaluating the project's contribution of criteria pollutant and TAC emissions relative to the existing setting, Consultant will prepare an air quality and health risk technical study that describes the existing air quality conditions and regulatory setting; a detailed methodology used to evaluate emissions and air quality impacts; the Project's air quality impacts; and mitigation measures, to eliminate any potentially significant air quality impacts in support of the EIR. The analysis will be consistent with the requirements of the California Air Resources Board (ARB), the San Diego Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD), the County of San Diego (if deemed appropriate), the City of National City, and District. Construction mass emissions: Consultant will quantify, to the extent practicable, emissions associated with construction of the land use reconfiguration, including demolition of structures and roadways, installation of the connector track, changes to Pepper Park, and buildings and structures to be constructed as part of the other Project components. Consultant will work with the District and Project Applicants in developing a reasonable construction timeframe and inventory of demolition and construction quantities, equipment and vehicle to be used, and paving and earthwork quantities. Consultant will estimate emissions to extent feasible with an approved modeling methodology, compare emissions to relevant thresholds of significance, and prescribe mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate impacts, if necessary. Operational mass emissions: Once constructed, the Project would result in a change in vehicle traffic resulting from the expanded park, park/plaza, and commercial recreational uses. Additionally, terminal activity may change slightly due to the addition of the connector track, which would result some terminal storage buy may increase operational efficiency at the terminal, thereby increase throughput. Consultant will estimate emissions to extent feasible with an approved modeling methodology, compare emissions to relevant thresholds of significance, and prescribe mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate impacts, if necessary. Considerations Specific to the Pasha Connector Rail Track Component. The Connector Rail Track component is similar to the connector track proposed as part of the Project in that it would allow Pasha to increase rail car storage, on -site and allow for Pasha to build and operate a second daily train on a given day. Based on Consultant's work previous EIRs at the NCMT, building an additional train on -site and allowing an additional train to depart per day would increase criteria pollutant and TAC emissions both on -site and throughout the region, particularly along the train path. Moreover, because the NCMT is currently limited by its current acreage and operational inefficiencies, increasing terminal efficiency by shifting some activity from truck to rail may allow Pasha to increase terminal throughput and may increase the numbers of vessels that call on NCMT throughout the year. Consultant will work with the District and Pasha to determine the extent that operations at NCMT may increase, which may affect all emissions sources associated with terminal operations. Consultant assumes construction would be minimal, thus the majority of the emissions will be in terms of operations. Based on Consultant's previous work at NCMT and at other projects around the District, Consultant will estimate emissions from additional train activity and as well any associated emissions sources Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 3 of 18 tS 7 PA E (vessels, trucks, passenger vans, car processing) that may increase as a result of the Project. Mitigation measures will be prescribed to reduce or eliminate impacts, if necessary. Health Risk Assessment Construction and operation of the Proposed Project would result in emissions of TACs, particularly associated with diesel fuel combustion in equipment during construction and locomotive, truck, and terminal activity during operations. The connector track would add new diesel activity (diesel locomotives) near sensitive uses at Pepper Park. If adequate information is available to estimate TAC emissions and the location of both emission sources and receptor locations, Consultant will prepare a health risk assessment (HRA) to estimate potential health risks at nearby uses associated with the proposed project. If this information is not available, Consultant will provide a high-level qualitative programmatic assessment of the potential health risk, using information from Consultant's previous health risk work at the District and using published health risk and screening guidance. In the event that impacts are identified, Consultant will work with the District and/or Project Applicants to identify mitigation designed to reduce or eliminate impacts. CO Hotspots: For the assessment of localized carbon monoxide (CO) impacts, Consultant will review data from the traffic impact assessment to determine the need for localized CO modeling, consistent with the County of San Diego's CO hot -spot screening criteria. In the event the screening analysis indicates a quantitative CO analysis is necessary, Consultant will use peak hour intersection data, the CALINE4 dispersion model, and the latest version of ARB emission factors (currently EMFAC 2014) to estimate CO concentrations at key intersections analyzed in the transportation and circulation analysis. CO concentrations at up to five intersections within the project area will be evaluated under all project conditions. CO impacts will assessed by evaluating whether the proposed project meets the ambient air quality requirements for localized pollutants by determining whether it causes or contributes to an exceedance of state or federal CO standards. Considerations Specific to GB Capital Project Component. The recreational uses associated with the GB Capital Project would be placed near terminal operations that may pose a risk to recreational visitors; an issue that could be exacerbated by installing the connector track that could move TAC sources closer to the site. Consultant will estimate emissions from this component with an approved modeling methodology and compare emissions generated from this Project component and the Project as a whole to thresholds and identify mitigation as appropriate. Because the connector track would potentially bring locomotive activity closer to a site that park users will frequent, Consultant will provide a site -specific HRA that takes into account TAC emissions from terminal operations as well as any TAC emissions that may occur onsite. Considerations Specific to Program -Level Analysis of Potential Commercial Development of Two National City -Owned Parcels. Although the area around the National City parcels, which are located northeast of the intersection of Bay Marina Drive and Marina Way, is not densely populated with residential uses, both gas stations and fast food restaurants are sources of TAC emissions, which must be addressed in the EIR. The ARB recommends avoiding siting sensitive land uses within 300 feet of a large gasoline dispensing facility (defined as a facility with a throughput of 3.6 million gallons per year or greater), while a 50 foot separation is recommended for typical gas dispensing facilities. Residences are approximately 350 feet north of the northern edge of the City -owned parcels, which is assumed to be a safe distance. Therefore, the TAC analysis will be qualitative and ARB screening distance language and guidance will be incorporated by reference. Mitigation measures will be prescribed to reduce or eliminate impacts, if necessary. Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 4 of 18 Task 4.2: Biological Resources Consultant will utilize the Biological Survey and Wetland Delineation of Port Parcel 027-047 in National City, California prepared by Dudek in November 2016 to assess the impacts that would occur in the areas of the Project site west of Paradise Marsh (i.e., the Iandside area of the GB Capital site, as well as the potential alignments of the Bayshore Bikeway between Sweetwater Channel and the Best Western Marina Gateway hotel. In addition, because the GB Capital Project component may have some in -water impacts, Consultant's subconsultant, Marine Taxonomic Services, Ltd. (MTS) will provide a Marine Biological Resource Assessment (EFH, eelgrass, and sensitive species). This assessment would include field time to map habitats and the evaluation of this plan relative to impacts to marine biological resources (primarily eelgrass). MTS will also provide editorial support for environmental review documents relative to marine biology. MTS has assumed no more than 16 hours to support a preliminary discussion of any potential aquaculture elements, as the size and scope of these elements could vary and could also result in numerous public comments and need for stand-alone evaluations that could take considerable time. This project would also require additional terrestrial biological services by Consultant in order to survey the site and provide analysis on potential impacts to undeveloped lot B6 and also potential edge effects to the Paradise Marsh Wildlife Refuge. Potential biological resources impacts associated with the proposed Connector Rail Track could result from building an additional train on -site and allowing an additional train to depart per day, which would increase noise along the train path, which may have the potential to affect species nearby (if present). Consultant biologists will analyze the potential impacts of the rail alignment. Finally, the two City -owned parcels appear to have been graded in the past and have little to no natural vegetation. Consultant biologist would confirm this via a brief survey and examine if street trees on the site perimeter may support nesting raptors or other covered bird species. Once all site surveys and review of the available biological resources documentation is complete, Consultant will prepare the Biological Resources section of the EIR. This entails preparation of the impact analysis and the development of mitigation measures to reduce any potential significant impacts to less -than -significant levels, as feasible. Task 4.3: Cultural Resources Consultant will conduct a cultural resources technical study sufficient to identify any cultural resources in the Project area. This study will include the following tasks: conduct a cultural resources records search and archival research; conduct outreach to interested parties for cultural resources due diligence, conduct a cultural resources field survey; prepare California Department of Parks and Recreation 523 site forms for any cultural resources identified in the plan area, and prepare a technical report. The records search will involve Consultant obtaining a records search from the South Coastal Information Center, contacting the Native American Heritage Commission to request a Sacred Lands File Search, and a receiving list of potentially interested local Native American tribes and individuals. Consultant will also contact local historical societies, preservation organizations, and museums. Identified interested parties will be contacted via letter requesting a reply with any information or concerns about cultural resources in the plan area. Follow-up telephone calls or emails will be made 14 days after the initial letters are sent. It should be noted that consultation pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 52 and Senate Bill (SB) 18 is not assumed within this scope and that the District and/or City will conduct this consultation. Consultant will also request a paleontological records search from the San Diego Natural History Museum. The Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 5 of 18 5 1 73 PAGE. 3? potential sensitivity of the Project area will be examined and the results will be included in the EIR. Additional analysis will be conducted for Paleontological Resources for the GB Capital project and two City -owned parcels, which may include coordination with the Natural History Museum, as they entail buildings and other development features that may have the potential to disturb soils containing such resources and the results will be included in the EIR. A cultural resources field survey of the Project area will be conducted, including the optional alignments of Segment 5 of the Bayshore Bikeway. Prior to the field survey, it is assumed the District and/or City will arrange access to the Project area. Following the survey, a cultural resources technical report will be prepared that meets the requirements of CEQA guidelines and will describe methods, results, and recommendations, and will include any cultural resources site forms, as well as outreach to interested party correspondence, as appendices. Consultant assumes there will be no more than two rounds of review of the draft report and the preparation of one final report. The final report will be placed on file with the South Coastal Information Center, which is the regional California Historical Resources Information System location. Consultant will prepare the Cultural Resources Section, as well as the Tribal Cultural Resources Section (a new required EIR section per California Natural Resources agency), of the EIR, which will analyze potential impacts based on the results and recommendations of the cultural resources technical study, paleontological records search, and tribal consultation (conducted by the Port/ City). For purposes of this scope of work, Consultant assumes that the potential relocation of Granger Hall to Pepper Park will be included as an optional component of the overall Project and would be analyzed at a programmatic level because insufficient data is available to evaluate the impacts associated with the actual movement of the building. The existing National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) registration form does specify "areas of significance" that can be translated into Listing Criteria, which would be Criteria A and C, but probably not Criteria B. Consultant will prepare a technical memorandum updating the existing documentation. This effort will include a site visit to document the current condition of the building. Consultant will also specify the significance criteria that have become best professional practice since the building was listed in the mid-1970s. Consultant will do a thorough integrity analysis to determine what among the seven aspects of historical integrity are important to its significance, and then clearly outline the building's character defining features. This effort will be essential to assessing potential impacts and developing general programmatic mitigation. (Note, although this effort will allow for easier environmental clearance of the relocation in the future, it will not likely provide full clearance on its own. To achieve full clearance, a project specific analysis that would be tiered from this programmatic analysis could be conducted, with supplemental work from a structural engineer, to determine the specific impacts and mitigation that may be needed.) Potential direct and indirect impacts to cultural resources resulting from the additional components will be prepared for incorporation into the Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources Section of the EIR. Task 4.4: Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Change Construction and operation of the proposed project would result in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in greater quantities than existing conditions. To evaluate the Project's contribution of GHG emissions relative to the existing setting, Consultant will prepare a GHG emissions and climate change EIR section that describes the existing GHG emissions and climate change conditions along with the existing regulatory setting; the methodology for determining Project Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 6 of 18 RR 1.73 PAGE impacts; the Project's GHG and climate change impacts, including potential sea level rise (described in detail below in Task 4.7); and feasible mitigation measures, in consultation with the District, to reduce or eliminate any potentially significant impacts. In addition, Consultant will consider relevant and recent case law and the District's GHG reduction efforts, as described in further detail below. Construction GHG emissions: Consultant will quantify, to the extent practicable, GHG emissions associated with construction of the various reconfigurations, including demolition of structures and roadways, installation of the connector track, changes to Pepper Park, and any building or structure to be constructed as part of the Project. Consultant will work with the District and/or Project Applicants in developing a reasonable construction timeframe and inventory of demolition and construction quantities, equipment and vehicle to be used, and paving and earthwork quantities. Consultant will estimate emissions to extent feasible with an approved modeling methodology, compare emissions to relevant thresholds of significance, and prescribe mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate impacts, if necessary. Operational GHG emissions: Once constructed, the proposed project would result in a change in vehicle traffic resulting from the expanded park, park/plaza, commercial recreational, and maritime uses. Consultant will estimate GHG emissions from all Project components, including the GB Capital Development, Program -level Commercial Development of two City -owned Parcels, and the Pasha Connector Rail Track, to extent feasible with an approved modeling methodology and compare emissions from each project component and the entire EIR as a whole to thresholds and identify mitigation as appropriate. Mitigation measures, including relevant measures in the District's Climate Action Plan (CAP), will be prescribed to reduce or eliminate impacts, if necessary. Based on Consultant's work on previous EIRs at the NCMT, building an additional train on -site and allowing an additional train to depart per day would increase GHG emissions proportional to the increase in activity. Moreover, because the terminal is currently limited by its current acreage and operational inefficiencies, increasing terminal efficiency by shifting some activity from truck to rail may allow Pasha to increase terminal throughput which may increase the numbers of vessels that call on NCMT throughout the year. Consultant will work with the District and Pasha to determine the extent that operations at the terminal may increase, which may affect all GHG emissions sources associated with terminal operations. Based on Consultant's previous work at this terminal and at other projects around the District, Consultant will estimate emissions from additional train activity and as well any associated emissions sources (vessels, trucks, passenger vans, electricity, and water use) that may increase as a result of the Project. Mitigation measures, including relevant measures in the District's CAP as well as those included in recent District EIRs will be prescribed to reduce or eliminate impacts, if necessary. Using Consultant's previous District experience with evaluating Port -related GHG impacts, Consultant will work with District staff to identify an appropriate threshold of significance to evaluate GHG impacts associated with the proposed project. The identified thresholds of significance will evaluate impacts during both the 2020 and post- 2020 timeframe, while considering the implication of recent case law, including the recent Newhall Ranch, SANDAG, and County of San Diego cases. One such approach which has been used in previous analyses includes evaluating the project against the District's Climate Action Plan (CAP), which was adopted in 2013 and includes an inventory of existing (2006) and future year emissions projections and goals and measures to support meeting the statewide reduction goals set forth in Assembly Bill (AB) 32. In addition, as part of Consultant's threshold identification process, Consultant will coordinate with the District to ensure all feasible programs Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 7 of 18 RR 17fA PAGE 39 and approaches are considered and will provide substantial evidence in support of the thresholds of significance identified and used to evaluate impacts associated with the proposed project. Both the pre-2020 and post-2020 quantitative analyses will include quantification of approved and potential District- and state-wide actions to reduce GHG emissions from project - related emissions sources, to the extent feasible, while providing a discussion of "substantial progress" towards meeting post-2020 targets as further evidence and disclosure. Consultant will work with the District in identifying project -specific mitigation, using the CAP and relevant regional (e.g., SANDAG's Sustainable Communities Strategy) and statewide plans (e.g., Scoping Plan) to develop appropriate list of appropriate and feasible mitigation measures while quantifying emission reductions to the extent feasible. Task 4.5: Noise and Vibration Consultant will conduct analyses of the potential noise and vibration impacts associated with the Project, which includes all components such as the GB Capital Development, the Program -level Commercial Development of two City -owned parcels, and the Pasha Connector Rail Track. Special consideration will be given to existing nearby noise -sensitive receptors, which include residences, an existing hotel, and a park (Consultant's current understanding is that the District considers existing hotel uses to be noise -sensitive during nighttime hours only, but will also consult with the City and District to determine how hotels should be addressed). Consistent with current CEQA case law, the potential impacts of the existing environment on the Project itself do not need to be analyzed; however, because the Project will introduce new noise and vibration sources, sensitive portions of the Project, such as hotels and parks, will be considered and potential impacts will be analyzed. Consultant will identify relevant noise regulations (city, state and federal) and determine significance thresholds by which to assess potential project impacts. Existing land uses in the Project area will be identified along with existing sources of noise. Prior noise studies and other relevant documents will also be reviewed and used as applicable. Existing noise conditions in the Project area will be quantified based on short-term (15 — 30 minutes) and/or Tong -term (24- hour) noise measurements conducted at up to six (6) locations in the Project vicinity. The ability to obtain long-term measurements will be dependent on the accessibility of safe and secure locations at which to leave unmanned noise monitoring equipment. These measurements will be supplemented with data gathered in the project area as part of previous studies conducted by Consultant (i.e., the NCMT Tank Farm Paving and Street Closures EIR). Construction noise and vibration will be evaluated based on construction equipment data to be provided by the District and/or Project Applicants, and noise and vibration modeling methodologies provided by agencies such as the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Rail noise and vibration analyses will be conducted using modeling methodologies provided by the FTA using railroad operational data to be provided (or developed in coordination with) by the District/Project Applicants. Using traffic data provided by the project traffic consultant, traffic noise along nearby roadways will be modeled for existing, existing -with -project, future, and future -with -project conditions on affected nearby roadway segments. Traffic noise modeling will be based on data from the most recent version of the FHWA-approved traffic noise prediction model, Traffic Noise Model (TNM) version 2.5. Noise from future on -site sources such as parking lots and activities at Pepper Park will be analyzed using data from similar, prior projects, available published data, and data provided the City and/or Project Applicants. In addition, representative noise source measurements will be obtained, if necessary, to help quantify anticipated noise levels from Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 8 of 18 ERR 1 73 PArriP LCA specific project elements such as a potential amphitheater in the Pepper Park expansion. Consultant will work with the District to identify similar existing facilities where such noise measurements can be obtained. If significant noise and/or vibration impacts are identified, mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a Tess -than -significant level, where feasible, will be recommended. Consultant will prepare the Noise section of the EIR, in accordance with CEQA requirements, that summarizes findings of the noise and vibration analyses. Additional technical documentation will be included, as necessary, in an appendix to the EIR. It has been assumed in -water activities would occur as part of the GB Capital project. Development of the in -water activities will be analyzed using the same methodologies outlined above for construction and operational noise and vibration. Consultant will also estimate construction -related underwater noise levels that may occur as part of the Project. Underwater noise levels will be evaluated based on in -water construction activity information to be provided by the District/Project Applicants, and modeling methodologies and guidance provided by Caltrans. The results of this analysis will be used in the Biological Resources section of the EIR to assess potential impacts on fish and/or marine mammals. No underwater noise monitoring will be conducted. The level of analysis (programmatic versus project -level) will be determined based on the level of detail available for the three phases of this development. Potential impacts will be included in the analysis. Task 4.6: Transportation and Parking Consultant's subconsultant, Chen Ryan Associates (CRA), will provide the following technical support and documentation for the preparation of the EIR. Trip Generation: CRA will develop a net trip generation change based on the proposed changes in land/water uses contained within the project description, which will include all development components such as the GB Capital Project, Program -level Commercial Development of two City -owned Parcels, and the Pasha Connector Rail Track Project. Accordingly, CRA will then assign (or subtract) trips to the adjacent roadway network based on trip generation estimates and existing travel patterns and redistribute exiting trips that may be affected by the proposed network changes (e.g., closure of Tidelands Avenue, changes to McKinley Avenue, etc.). Project Study Area: Based on the assumed changes in vehicular traffic patterns associated with the proposed project, a project study area will be defined utilizing the standards contained in the SANTEC / l TE Traffic Impact Study Guidelines in the San Diego Region, March 2000 and input from District staff. This includes up to 14 intersections, 20 roadway segments, and up to 8 freeway mainline segments. Existing Conditions and Plus Project Analysis: CRA will analyze and document Existing and Existing Plus Project traffic conditions. Roadway segments will be analyzed based upon existing Average Daily Traffic volumes. Intersection LOS and delay analyses will be conducted for both AM and PM peak hour conditions, utilizing the methods outlined in the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual. CRA will also add the projected trips associated with each additional component to both the base and with project scenarios. Cumulative Conditions: In coordination with District and City staff, CRA will identify any related approved development projects. It is assumed that both the District and the City will supply all related information for the identified "cumulative projects." Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 9 of 18 In addition, CRA will: • Analyze and document project opening year traffic conditions with and without the improvements identified in the project description, including with each Project component. • Analyze and document longer -term traffic conditions without and with the improvements contained in the project description, including the individual Project components. Background traffic volumes for the longer -term conditions will be based on the SANDAG Series 12 Year 2035 Transportation Forecast Model. • Summarize significant cumulative project -related impacts and traffic mitigation requirements for the project opening year and longer -term conditions, including for each of the Project components (if feasible). Project Construction: Vehicular trip generation and truck estimates will be developed during the peak period of the project construction, including all the separate Project components as feasible, based on workforce and delivery/hauling estimates, to be provided to the project team by the District. Construction trip generation estimates will include the projected number of construction truck trips (materials / equipment delivery and waste hauling) and the construction worker trips that will access the Project site during both the AM and PM peak hours. Traffic operations, including peak hour intersection and roadway segment analysis, will be analyzed under Existing Plus Construction Traffic conditions. Documentation: All findings from the previous tasks will be documented in a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) to be submitted to the District and key stakeholders for review and comment. Based on comments received from District staff and key stakeholders the TIS will be revised and the Final TIS will be submitted to the District. Meetings: CRA will attend up to five (5) project related meetings, this includes the project kick off meeting, project team meetings, community meetings, and public hearings. Task 4.7: Sea Level Rise Consultant will undertake a high-level sea level rise (SLR) impact assessment, and if needed, develop mitigation measures. Consultant will first review and analyze the applicability of previous studies undertaken in the study area, including those conducted by the San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative and the San Diego Foundation, previous assessments by the District, and national assessments conducted by NOAA, the Pacific Institute and others. Consultant will obtain the latest available land height data, including LiDAR data, from the District and other sources. The Consultant, District, and City will identify SLR scenarios that align with the Project's lifetime and are consistent with the planning horizon of the Project. Consultant will seek to select scenarios that are consistent with the California Coastal Act, taking into consideration the Draft California Coastal Commission Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance. Consultant will use those scenarios in a GIS-based analysis to determine the areas of potential inundation due to mean sea level rise (permanent inundation) and the effects on the Project (including, as possible, impacts on the facilities as well as access routes). In addition, Consultant will conduct a basic screening of the potential for increased flooding during future storm events (temporary inundation). Unless it is already included in previous modeling efforts, the storm surge assessment will not include modeling of wave run-up; rather, it will provide an overall sense of the increased risk from storm events. If it is determined that sea level rise will result in significant impacts, the Consultant, District, and Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 10 of 18 s1 73 PAGE La City will then consider mitigation options, including technological solutions (e.g., permanent barriers such as levees or seawalls) as well as policy and planning (e.g., managing temporary flooding through emergency preparedness measures). The assessment will recognize that the need for mitigation options may vary over time through the development of a phased mitigation strategy. Consultant will qualitatively assess the feasibility of the identified options and make a final determination about the significance of the impact from sea level rise in consultation with the District. Consultant assumed that the storm surge assessment will not include modeling of wave run-up. This analysis will be incorporated into the GHG section of the EIR and included as an appendix to the EIR. Task 5. First Screencheck Draft EIR Consultant will prepare the first screencheck draft EIR that will focus the discussion on impacts that were considered to be potentially significant as determined in the Initial Study. As appropriate, Consultant will utilize recently -completed EIRs in the area (e.g., NCMT Tank Farm Paving and Street Closures EIR) for existing conditions of the project area and will verify and update as necessary. In addition, as portions of the project area are within the jurisdiction of the City, the existing regulations would be updated as necessary. In addition to the methods discussed under Task 4, Technical Studies, which will all be incorporated in the EIR, Consultant proposes the following methodology for preparing the additional EIR resource sections. Consultant assumes that the project description will be finalized prior to the start of the environmental impact analysis. Existing conditions and regulatory setting can be initiated prior to project description finalization. Aesthetics and Visual Resources The Project includes components that could introduce development features into the project that may have an impact on visual resources. Consultant will utilize architectural renderings provided by GB Capital to depict and analyze the proposed visual changes to the Project area. No visual simulations or bulk/scale/massing exercises are proposed for the program -level analysis of the potential commercial development of the two City -owned parcels. Geologic Hazards and Soils In light of the CBIA v. BAAQMD case, the Geologic Hazards and Soils analysis will consider the potential for the proposed project to exacerbate the adverse geologic and soil conditions. The Project area is located in an earthquake prone region and the soils present may have the potential for liquefaction that could result in ground failure if not properly engineered. Consultant will review topographic maps, geologic data, fault maps, geologic hazard maps, and liquefaction maps of the area supplemented with any information provided by the District and City. The findings will be used to discuss potential geologic hazards and include preliminary geotechnical conclusions and recommendations for the Project. Hazards and Hazardous Materials In Tight of the CBIA v. BAAQMD case, the analysis will consider the potential for the proposed project to exacerbate the hazards and hazardous materials condition. Given the location of the project area near marine terminal uses, there are potential on and off -site hazardous materials, as well as limited amounts of on -site hazardous materials associated with the proposed commercial projects (i.e., hotels and RV park). Consultant will utilize recently -completed EIRs in the area (e.g., NCMT Tank Farm Paving and Street Closures EIR) for information on hazards Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 11 of 18 S 1 PAGE. U and hazardous materials. Consultant will briefly review online databases including the SWRCB GeoTracker, Department of Toxic Substances Control EnviroStor, and the Formerly Used Defense Sites to ensure no new sites have been recorded. No sampling or analysis of soil, groundwater or other media will be performed. The data obtained from the review of available documents and databases will be used to prepare the Hazards and Hazardous Materials section of the EIR. Hydrology and Water Quality In light of the CBIA v. BAAQMD case, the analysis will consider the potential for the proposed project to exacerbate the Hydrology and Water Quality. In general, potential effects on hydrology and water quality conditions from the proposed project involve proximity to the San Diego Bay and slight increases in impervious surface area. Consultant will review all available documents and data resources, including the latest District and City JRMPs, BMP Manuals, and municipal permits, to prepare the HydrologylWater Quality section of the EIR. The GB Capital project will likely need hydromodification and other related BMPs in order to meet updated standards of the Regional MS4 Permit and as such, these topics will be covered in the Hydrology and Water Quality analysis. The section will address all Hydrology and Water Quality Appendix G thresholds and present potential impacts of the project on hydrological and water quality. Land Use and Planning The project would require a PMPA, coastal development permits, and an amendments to City plans such as but not limited to, the General Plan, Local Coastal Program, and Bicycle Master Plan. This section will consider whether the proposed project is consistent with applicable plans and policies, including Chapters 3 and 8 of the Coastal Act. As part of this section, a land use plan consistency matrix will be developed and will include all applicable plans and programs. If significant impacts are identified, mitigation will be proposed where feasible. Population and Housing The project would potentially be considered growth inducing due to the number of jobs that would be created from its construction and during its operation. However, Consultant does not anticipate a population and housing section in the EIR and expects that this discussion can be addressed in the Effects Found Not to be Significant. Public Services and Recreation Due to the potential increase use of the site, the proposed project may have a greater demand on fire services, parks, and recreation. All of these resource topics would be discussed in the EIR and mitigation would be proposed, if needed, to ensure significant and unavoidable impacts would not occur to public services and recreation. Utilities and Energy Use The GB Commercial and the potential future development with commercial uses at the two City - owned parcels would have a large increase in water, wastewater, solid waste, and energy. Consultant would encourage the proposed project to seek LEED certification or require LEED certification for future projects proposed to tier from the overall conceptual plan. In any case, the projects would be required to show how consumption of water, wastewater, and solid waste would occur. Moreover, the Project qualifies as a water demand project. Therefore, a water supply assessment (WSA) will need to be prepared. Within National City, Sweetwater Authority prepares WSAs. Consultant will work with the District to coordinate preparation and approval of the WSA by Sweetwater Authority. Given the drought conditions, executive orders, and current Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 12 of 18 RR17 PAGE M regulations related to water use, it is anticipated that Sweetwater Authority will require extensive water reduction methods. Should Sweetwater Authority decide not to prepare the WSA, Consultant can prepare the WSA with an amendment to this scope and budget. Correspondingly, with reduced water use, the Project would have reduced wastewater use. Consultant will help quantify utility demand (water, wastewater, solid waste, energy) and provide mitigation as needed to ensure significant and unavoidable impacts are minimized. In addition, Consultant will provide a discussion of the Project's energy use and conservation measures along with a consistency analysis with Appendix F of the CEQA guidelines. Once operational, the proposed project would result in energy consumption in different quantities than existing uses, primarily due to the increase in motor vehicle and boating fossil fuel combustion, electricity consumption, and natural gas consumption associated with retail, hotel, and marina uses. Consultant will quantify, to the extent practicable, energy consumption from both existing and proposed new uses in discussing the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy, as this may constitute an adverse effect on energy resources as outlined in State CEQA Guidelines Appendix F. The energy analysis will include a discussion of project -related conservation measures that would be included to help avoid wasteful energy usage. Cumulative Impacts Consultant will prepare a cumulative impact chapter that will consider all past, present, and probable future projects. In addition to a list of cumulative projects provided by the District and City, Consultant will contact other nearby jurisdictions if necessary for a list of all nearby projects outside of the District's and City's jurisdiction. An analysis of the cumulative projects will serve as the basis for the impact significance determination baseline, while the Project's incremental contribution to the cumulative baseline will be considered the Project's potential cumulative impact. Mitigation, in the form of fair share arrangements, will be proposed to reduce cumulative impacts to the extent feasible. Alternatives Consultant will prepare up to 10 alternatives (inclusive of the No -Project Alternative) sufficient to provide a qualitative comparison to the proposed project's effect on the environment. Consultant, in consultation with the District, will identify the environmentally superior alternative, which would be an alternative other than the No -Project alternative. Alternatives to be considered in the analysis will be based on consultation with the District as well as suggestions received during the scoping period. Other Environmental Considerations Other CEQA considerations will also be included such as Effects Found to be Less than Significant, Growth Inducing Effects including indirect population growth, and Significant Irreversible Changes if the Proposed Project is Implemented. Task 5 Deliverable: First Screencheck Draft EIR Task 6: Second Screencheck Draft EIR Consultant will revise the First Screencheck Draft EIR based on comments received from the District and the City. All revisions will be left in tracked changes and the District and City will only review and comment on the revisions. Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 13 of 18 Task 6 Deliverable: Second Screencheck Draft EIR 6173 PASS i Task 7: Third Screencheck Draft EIR (if needed) If needed, Consultant will revise the Second Screencheck Draft EIR based on comments received from the District and City. All revisions will be left in tracked changes and the District and City will only review and comment on the revisions. Task 7 Deliverable: Third Screencheck Draft EIR Task 8: Public Review Draft EIR Consultant will prepare the Public Review Draft EIR based on comments received from the District and City. Consultant will provide both electronic copies and up to 30 hard copies and 50 CDs of the Public Review Draft EIR. In addition, an electronic copy of each document, or portion of each document as applicable, referenced or cited in the Draft EIR will be provided. Consultant will prepare, distribute, and file all public notices associated with the Draft EIR as well as distribute the Draft EIR. This task assumes comments received will be largely limited to the redline revisions from preparation of the most recent screencheck Draft EIR. Task 8 Deliverable: Public Review Draft EIR (hard copy and electronic web -ready copy) Task 9: Response to Comments Consultant will prepare responses to comments received on the EIR during the 45-day public review. Consultant will work closely with the District and City to strategize the appropriate responses, and identify areas for revisions to the document if necessary. Consultant has budgeted time to respond to 150 individual comments and assumes that expanded analyses would occur that only clarifies the analyses in the EIR but would not result new technical analyses. Consultant has also budgeted for two full days of working sessions with the District and City. More than 150 public comments would require an amendment to the scope of work. Comments received after the 45-day public review period and to which the District or City would like Consultant to provide a response may adversely affect the ability to remain on schedule. Task 9 Deliverable: Draft and Final Responses to Comments Task 10: First Screencheck Final EIR and MMRP After receipt of the comments from the District and City on the Responses to Comments, Consultant will prepare the final responses to public comments and the Screencheck Final EIR along with the mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP). The Final EIR will include redline/strikeout text to highlight changes in the document and the responses to comments. Consultant will prepare the mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP) to address the implementation of the mitigation measures identified in the EIR. For each mitigation measure, the MMRP will clearly delineate which project component the mitigation measure applies to, what percentage or pro rata share of the mitigation measure is applicable to each component, and the timing or trigger(s) of each mitigation measure in relation to each component. Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 14 of 18 Task 10 Deliverable: First Screencheck EIR & MMRP R6 73 PAGE L41 Task 11: Second Screencheck Final EIR and MMRP If necessary, Consultant will revise the first screencheck Final EIR and prepare a second screencheck Final EIR. Task 11 Deliverable: Second Screencheck EIR 8 MMRP Task 12: Final EIR and MMRP Based on the comments provided by the District and the City on the Second Screencheck Final EIR, Consultant will prepare the Final EIR and MMRP for the Board and City Council. As noted in the RFP, it is assumed that the District and City, as appropriate, will be responsible for preparation, distribution, and filing all public notices associated with the Final EIR. County filing fees and California Department of Fish and Wildlife fees will be provided to the Consultant by the Project Applicants and District. It is assumed that all comments received on the Final EIR will be limited to the revisions from the previous screencheck of the Final EIR. Task 12 Deliverable: Final EIR 8 MMRP (hard copy and electronic web -ready copy) Task 13: Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations Consultant will prepare draft Findings of Fact (if significant impacts are determined) and Statement of Overriding Considerations (if significant and unavoidable impacts are determined) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15091 and 15093. Task 13 Deliverable: Draft and Final Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations Task 14: Project Coordination and Meetings This task would include management of project contracts and subcontracts, schedule, and Consultant attendance at both team meetings and public meetings. Consultant will be involved in project team meetings/telephone conferences to discuss the project approach and provide direction relative to planning and environmental issues. Attendance at all meetings and hearings shall be at the specific request of the District's Project Manager assigned to this project. Consultant's budget includes an estimate for this task based on participation in the following meetings and/or telephone conferences: • Up to 60 weekly in -person meetings (1 hour each) • Up to 40 phone conferences (30 minutes each) • Up to two (2) Board of Port Commissioners meetings • Up to two (2) City Council meetings in National City In addition, as discussed above in Task 4.3, CRA will attend up to five project -related meetings (Le., project kickoff meeting, project team meetings, public hearing). Consultant's work efforts will .also involve on -going project management that includes regular Exhibit B — Scope of Work Page 15 of 18 6G17' PA E 1127 coordination with District staff and project team members, as necessary. Consultant will use a number of project management tools to ensure that projects are maintained on schedule and within budget, including phone calls, meetings, e-mail correspondence, etc. Consultant will provide a monthly status report to the District regarding tasks performed in the prior month and tasks that are anticipated to be performed in the next month. In addition, the monthly status report will identify any unresolved issues. Reimbursable Expenses This task will allow for reimbursable expenses associated with direct costs. Reimbursable expenses are out-of-pocket expenses such as, but not limited to, blueprinting, printing, duplicating/copying, reproduction, photography, mileage, and delivery services. Direct expenses will be billed at cost. The budget assumes printing of the following copies of the EIR in hard copy and as compact discs (CDs). Draft EIR 30 hard copies with appendices 15 hard copies of Executive Summary for State Clearinghouse 50 CDs Final EIR 30 hard copies 30 CDs Contingency for Unforeseeable Changes to Scope This task will allow for contingency in the event of unforeseeable changes to the scope of work. This task would only be triggered after receiving concurrence from the District. An approximately 8% contingency has been established to cover issues that could arise which require additional consultant services that were not initially considered as part of this Scope of Work. Written approval from the District must be received prior to Consultant allocating funds from this task for such services. II. SCHEDULE The Consultant shall perform and complete the required services under this Agreement within 18 months after the Project Description is agreed upon by the District and City. A more detailed schedule may be agreed upon by the Consultant and District. Consultant will work cooperatively with the District to complete the tasks in a timely manner. Consultant shall keep the District's Assistant Vice President of Planning & Green Port (or his/her designee) and the Project Applicants informed of the progress of said services at ail times.
