DEL OBISPO STREET BRIDGE WIDENING PROJECT
PROPOSAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES
DEL OBISPO STREET BRIDGE WIDENING PROJECT
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA
SCOPE OF SERVICES
WORK PROGRAM
A work program has been developed to ensure that the environmental review process is carried out in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), the City of San Juan Capistrano adopted CEQA procedures, and Caltrans environmental analysis
guidelines for the preparation of a Preliminary Environmental Assessment (PES). The scope of services
envisioned by Keeton Kreitzer Consulting (KKC) to complete the work identified in this proposal includes:
(1) the provision of competent, effective environmental analysis, (2) project management; (3) incorporation
of existing technical studies and analysis, (4) preparation of the environmental documentation (i.e., initial
study/mitigated negative declaration), (5) processing of the environmental documentation and public
participation; (6) preparation of the final environmental document; and (7) preparation of CEQA notices.
These several objectives will be achieved through the completion of several work tasks. Each of these
work tasks has been identified and described below.
Task One - Proiect Initiation/Coordination
KKC will be responsible for managing and coordinating all of the work to be undertaken to prepare the
required environmental document (i.e., initial study and proposed Negative Declaration). Project
coordination will be an integral part of the planning process. As such, KKC proposes to have a Project
Initiation Meeting as the first step in that process. That meeting will be held at the first available time after
the contract has been awarded and executed. Participants in the meeting will include representatives of
the City of San Juan Capistrano, KKC, and other technical consultants deemed necessary to provide
direction in the planning and environmental review process for the proposed bridge widening project.
Topics of discussion will include the definition of the project description, specific issues to be addressed,
technical analysis required to evaluate the proposed project, identification of responsible agencies and
sources of information, and the project schedule. Subsequent meetings will be required and conducted
with resources agencies and technical specialists as the need may arise during the course of the project.
Therefore, KKC will attend up to six (6) additional meetings with participants in the environmental review
process for the proposed project. In addition, KKC will also serve as project manager and coordinate
work efforts between the City of San Juan Capistrano Planning Department and Public Works Department
staffs, subconsultants and resource agencies.
In summary, this task will include the following sub -tasks
Consultation and coordination of the proposed project and environmental document with
the City of San Juan Capistrano to ensure that City policies as well as those of Caltrans
are addressed by the Draft environmental document,
Assurance that the Draft environmental document meets the requirements of CEQA, the
State CEQA Guidelines, NEPA, the City's CEQA procedures, and Caltrans; and

Estimated Time Frame: As Required
Estimated Budget: $5,520.00
Task Two - Sub -Consultant Studies
In order to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with activities necessary to implement
the Del Obispo Street Bridge Widening project, it will be necessary to prepare several technical studies,
including an acoustical analysis, an air quality assessment, hydrology/hydraulic analysis, traffic analysis,
and a variety of biological assessments. Several of these technical studies will be undertaken and
prepared by the project engineer (i.e., traffic analysis, hydrology/hydraulic analysis) and by specialized
consultants under contract to the City of San Juan Capistrano (i.e., biological resources assessments and
preliminary geotechnical/soils reports). Therefore, this task includes the preparation of three technical
studies: (1) a cultural, historic, and scientific resources assessments/records surveys; (2) air quality
assessment, and (3) acoustical analysis.
Archaeological Resources Management Consultants (ARMC) will undertake a cultural resources survey
for potential archaeological and historical resources pursuant to City Council Policy 601. The survey,
which will address cultural and historic resources that may be affected within the Area of Potential Effect
(APE), will also include a records search through the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) at
California State University, Fullerton. The findings of the records search and cultural resources survey will
be presented in a report and summarized in the Cultural Resources section of the Draft EIR along with
recommended mitigation measures as appropriate. In addition the historic assessment will address
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) as determined necessary by Caltrans.
In order to address City Council Policy 601, KKC also proposes to include the results of a paleontological
records search that will be conducted through the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, the
regional clearinghouse for those resources. Although it is not anticipated that paleontological resources
will be uncovered in the project area due to its location within the Trabuco Creek flood plain, a
paleontological resources field survey will also be undertaken by ARMC. ARMC will contact the Museum
of Natural History and other archives and request a records search to determine if paleontological sites
have been recorded within the limits of the Del Obispo Street Bridge project area or in the environs. In
addition, ARMC will conduct a survey of the affected area. The results and recommendations of the
records search and field survey will be documented and presented in the initial study. If it is determined
that paleontological resources would be affected as a result of project implementation, mitigation
measures will be identified.
In addition to the Cultural and Scientific Resources surveys identified above that will be prepared under
contract to KKC, other studies will also be required in order to adequately analyze the potential impacts
anticipated from the implementation of the proposed bridge widening project. The firm of Giroux &
Associates will conduct two technical studies. An acoustical analysis, which assesses construction -
related noise impacts on the surrounding development based on the types of equipment and duration of
the construction phase. In addition, the changes in traffic on the affected arterial system anticipated to
occur as a result of the proposed improvements will also be evaluated to determine the nature and extent
of any changes in mobile -source noise that result from project implementation. In addition, an air quality
analysis, which quantifies the construction -related impacts as well as post -construction air quality impacts
associated with changes in traffic volumes will also be evaluated.

As indicated above, several of the studies will be prepared by the project engineer (i.e., traffic analysis and
hydrology/hydraulic analysis) and/or will be provided by the City of San Juan Capistrano (i.e., preliminary
soils/geotechnical assessment, biological resource assessments). Applicable components of these
reports will also be appended to the Draft EIR. Although KKC will be responsible for coordinating with the
technical specialists and the City of San Juan Capistrano, the technical studies will be prepared under
contract with the City. These technical studies are identified below.
Preliminary Geotechnical Assessment/Soils Report
Traffic Analysis
Wetland Delineation/Impact Assessment
• Biological Resources Assessment
Aquatic Survey
• Hydrology/Hydraulic Analysis
• WQMP/SWPPP
Estimated Time Frame: Four Weeks
Estimated Budget: $ 15,160.00
Task Three - Initial Studv/Mitigated Neaative Declaration (IS/MND
KKC will be responsible for the preparation of the initial study for the proposed improvements to the Del
Obispo Street Bridge over Trabuco Creek. Based on a review of the State CEQA Guidelines, the
proposed project is neither statutorily nor categorically exempt. Therefore, it would be subject to CEQA
review. The initial study must necessarily be extensive and thorough and will allow the City to determine
whether the project qualifies for a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) or requires preparation of an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Each of the topics identified on the City's environmental checklist
form will be analyzed to document the nature and extent of any potential environmental consequences
(and the need for mitigation). The specific purpose of the analysis will be to document any adverse
environmental impacts associated with the proposed bridge improvements and reduce all potentially
significant impacts to a level of insignificance through the identification of appropriate and effective
mitigation measures. Where potential significant environmental effects are identified, appropriate
mitigation measures will be prescribed to ensure that the impacts can be reduced to a less than significant
level.
Based on the scope and nature of the proposed project, it is anticipated that any potentially significant
environmental impacts that would be anticipated can be mitigated. If so, the project would qualify for the
preparation of a mitigated negative declaration. However, no decision on the environmental determination
has been made at this time. As reflected above and in the work program, KKC has presented a scope of
work for the preparation of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). However, should the
Initial Study process identify any impacts that cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance, KKC and the
City would need to negotiate a contract amendment to provide for preparation of an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR).
The IS/MND will include the elements prescribed in the scope of work requirements identified by the City,
including: (1) Project Description, (2) Surrounding Land Use and Project Setting; (3) List of Responsible
Agencies, (4) Discussion of Environmental Evaluation, (5) Process Documentation, and (6) References. It
is important to note that environmental analysis identified above will address each of the environmental
issues listed on the City's Environmental Checklist. Once completed, five (5) copies of the proposed
Proposal for Environmental Consulting Services

PROPOSAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES
DEL OBISPO STREET BRIDGE WIDENING PROJECT
IS/MND will be submitted to the City of San Juan Capistrano for review and comment. KKC will revise the
initial study based on the comments made by City staff and prepare the Draft IS/MND. Ten (10) copies of
the Environmental Administrator Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration will be prepared and
submitted to the City, and twenty (20) copies of the Public Hearing Draft IS/MND will be printed and
submitted to the City of San Juan Capistrano.
Once completed and approved by the City for public noticing, the Draft document will be distributed for a
30 -day public review and comment period as required by the State CEQA Guidelines for local project.
KKC will be responsible for distributing the document to the list of recipients developed in concert with the
City of San Juan Capistrano. These documents will be delivered to each of the recipients via certified mail
(return receipt requested). KKC will be also be responsible for posting the Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Negative Declaration with the Orange County Clerk -Recorder. The City will provide a mailing list to KKC
who will mail the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration to affected property owners
within 500 feet of the project.
Estimated Time Frame: Eight Weeks (Including four weeks in Task Two)
Estimated Budget: $14,080.00
Task Four - Preparation of the Final Negative Declaration
The Final IS/MND will include all written comments received on the document during the public comments
period as well as the responses prepared in accordance with CEQA requirements. KKC will prepare
written responses to all comments received during the public review and comment period. These
responses will be submitted to the City of San Juan Capistrano for review prior to completion of the Final
Negative Declaration. It is important to note that the budget identified below reflects a limited amount of
public comments. This budget may be revised if, after a thorough review of all comments received on the
Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration, it is determined that it is inadequate to respond to all of the
comments received on that document. Five (5) copies of the Final IS/MND will be submitted to the City of
San Juan Capistrano.
Estimated Time Frame: One Week
Estimated Budget: $ 2,520.00
Task Five - Public Hearings
As indicated in the City's RFP, KKC will attend two (2) public hearings, including one (1) before the San
Juan Capistrano Planning Commission and one (1) before the City Council. In addition, this task will also
include attendance at one (1) hearing before the City's Environmental Administrator. The Principal/Project
Manager will attend the public hearing and will be responsible for making all presentations and responding
to questions raised during the public hearing. Should additional hearings be required, they will be charged
at the appropriate hourly rate.

Determination nor Department of Fish and Game filing fees are included in the budget. Any such fees will
be the responsibility of the City of San Juan Capistrano.
Estimated Time Frame: As Required
Estimated Budget: $ 1,280.00
Task Seven — Preliminary Environmental Study (PES)
When a local agency desires federal funding for preparing environmental studies and preliminary
engineering, the local agency submits a "Request for Authorization" form to the District Local Assistance
Engineer (DLAE). The local agency may not proceed with reimbursable activities prior to the project's
inclusion in a federally approved Federal Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (FSTIP) and
receipt of "Authorization to Proceed" notification from Caltrans. The first step in the environmental
process for local agency federal -aid transportation projects "OFF" the State Highway System (SHS) is a
preliminary environmental investigation and completion of the PES Form. Because the project will be
funded in part by the Federal Highway Administration, Caltrans, which administers the funding program,
requires the preparation of a Preliminary Environmental Study. This task encompasses the research and
analysis necessary to prepare the PES.
The purpose of the PES is to determine the potential presence of sensitive environmental resources within
the project area. The PES process consists of two parts: (1) a four -step Preliminary Environmental
Investigation process; and (2) completion of the PES Form. The Preliminary Environmental Investigation
(i.e., Step 1) consists of:
The development of a complete Project Description (which addresses independent utility
and logical termini), existing and proposed cross sections, and project maps.
A review of relevant literature, amps and inventories.
A request for technical information from resources and regulatory agencies.
Verification of research findings in the field (i.e., site visit) and Field Review with Caltrans
staff, if appropriate.
When preliminary environmental investigations indicate a potential for sensitive resources within the
project area, the local agency is responsible for undertaking the appropriate technical study to confirm the
presence of the resource and determine the potential significant effect(s) of the project on the resource.
To this end, the analysis undertaken to document the potential environmental effects will utilize the
findings presented in the several technical studies undertaken in Task 2, which were identified to be
necessary in order to adequately evaluate the environmental consequences anticipated as a result of
project implementation and documented in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared to

complete the CEQA process. If it is determined that a Categorical Exclusion (CE) determination is made
(i.e , no further NEPA-related environmental analysis is required), KKC will prepare and submit the CE to
Caltrans. It is important to note that this task does not include the preparation of an Environmental
Assessment (EA) or other environmental document prescribed by the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) Should it be determined that an EA or EIS is required, a revised scope of work and budget will
be prepared and submitted to the City for approval.

PROPOSAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES
DEL OBISPO STREET BRIDGE WIDENING PROJECT
Santiago Creek Bridge Widening Project 1, Orange County, CA
KKC prepared a mitigated negative declaration (MND) for the Santiago Canyon Road Bridge
located in the rural Silverado Canyon area of Orange County, approximately 0.3 mile west of
Silverado Canyon Road. The project encompassed the barrier replacement for the bridge,
including the removal of approximately two feet of deck slab and existing metal railing on each
side of the bridge, construction of a 3' 2" concrete deck extension (i.e., overhang) on both sides of
the roadway, construction of a concrete barrier on top of the deck extension, and the addition of
new intermediate diaphragms to the bridge. Significant issues included sensitive species/habitat
in the vicinity of the project, noise, temporary traffic impacts, and related construction -related
effects.
Santiago Creek Bridge Widening Project ll, Orange County, CA
KKC prepared a MND for the Santiago Canyon Road Bridge located in the rural Trabuco Canyon
area of Orange County, approximately 0.25 mile south of Modjeska Canyon Road. The project
encompassed seismic retrofit/barrier replacement elements that included the retrofitting of the
bridge substructure with steel column casing and concrete encasement of the bent footings,
removal of the existing metal guard railing on each side of the bridge, extension of the bridge deck
by 4 '/2 feet on both sides, construction of a concrete barrier on both sides of the bridge, and the
placement of intermediate diaphragms to support the bridge extension. Significant issues
included sensitive species/habitat in the vicinity of the project, noise, temporary traffic impacts,
and related construction -related effects.
Portola Hills Residential Conversion Draft EIR, Orange County, CA
Mr. Kreitzer served as project manager for the preparation of the Draft EIR for the Portola Hills
project that included a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change on property designed for a
major business park and commercial center. The applicant requested a tentative tract map
approval for over 600 dwelling units and a park on a 245 -acre property that was located within a
Natural Communities Conservation Program sub -region. Significant issues analyzed in the Draft
EIR included land use and relevant planning, population and housing, traffic and circulation, noise
associated with EI Toro MCAS the provision of adequate public services and facilities, and
biological resources.
Marblehead - Coastal Local Coastal Program, San Clemente, CA
The Marblehead - Coastal LCP was recently approved by the City of San Clemente (August
1998). The environmental analysis conducted for this last major coastal project in the City
required extensive technical analysis in the areas of traffic and circulation, biological resources,
hydrology and water quality and noise and air quality. The applicant proposed the development of
approximately 60 acres of regional commercial along the 1-5 corridor. In addition, the majority of
the remainder of the property included nearly 500 single-family residential dwelling units. Other
land uses proposed for the site were a 10 -acre public park, a 2.5 -acre habitat preservation area,
1 -acre coastal serving commercial site, and public and private open space. The Draft EIR
analyzed a full range of issues, including the consistency of the project with the City's Local
Coastal Program. Mr. Kreitzer provided extensive coordination between the City, the applicant,
the applicant's planner and several responsible agencies (i.e., California Department of Fish and
Game, U.S Fish and Wildlife Service„ etc.).

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Dave Adams, City Manager EYA
FROM: Molly Bogh, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Personal Services Agreement for the Preparation of
the Environmental Documentation for the Proposed Del Obispo Street
Circulation Improvements and Bridge Widening between Alipaz Street
and Los Rios Street/Adelanto Adelanto (Keeton Kreitzer
Consulting)(Capital Improvement Project (CIP) No. 122)
RECOMMENDATION
By motion, approve a Personal Services Agreement with Keeton Kreitzer Consulting in
the amount of $48,425 for preparation of Environmental Documentation for the
Proposed Del Obispo Street Circulation Improvements and Bridge Widening project.
SITUATION
A. Summary and Recommendation
The City is developing preliminary design plans for widening Del Obispo Street
between Alipaz Street and Los Rios Street including widening the existing
bridge over Trabuco Creek. The project requires review under the provisions of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). City staff solicited and received a proposal
from Keeton Kreitzer Consulting (KKC) to prepare the required environmental
documentation and to manage the environmental review process. Staff
recommends approval of an agreement with Keeton Kreitzer Consulting in the
amount of $48,425.
B. Background
On September 16, 2003, the City Council adopted the "2003-2010 Seven -Year
Traffic Congestion Relief Capital Improvement Program." Del Obispo Street at
the Trabuco Creek Bridge was identified as a "chokepoint" which limited traffic
flow. The existing width of the bridge deck is not adequate to accommodate the
road improvements necessary to provide the capacity which would alleviate
current congestion. Consequently, the bridge widening was recommended for
funding by the City's Traffic Congestion Relief Program (TCRP) report and was
subsequently included as a funding priority in the CIP.
Agenda Report • • July 3, 2006
ISSUES & ANALYSIS
City Council Policy 112, entitled "Personal Services Selection Guidelines" establishes
the City's policy on retaining consultants for performing contractual work for the City.
The policy establishes an expedited selection process for environmental consultants
and Keeton Kreitzer Consulting (KKC) has been designated by the City as a "pre-
qualified environmental consulting firm." The expedited selection process allows the City
to by-pass the typical 5-6 week consultant selection process in cases where the firm is
uniquely qualified and time is of the essence.
KKC is uniquely qualified to prepare the environmental documentation for the
proposed Del Obispo Street Circulation Improvements and Bridge Widening project. The
firm has over 25 years of environmental planning experience. Mr. Kreitzer, the
managing principal, has been personally responsible for the preparation of over 100
environmental documents required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality
Act and also has prepared environmental studies under the Federal National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). He has prepared the environmental documentation
for two road bridge widening projects on Santiago Canyon Road for the County of
Orange and has also served as the project manager on the City's La Novia Bridge
Widening project (presently inactive).
Mr. Kreitzer has also demonstrated to City staff his ability to prepare well-written,
technically sound, and legally defensible environmental documents with the project
schedule and within the established budget. He has previously prepared CEQA
documents on City projects including San Juan Meadows, Marbella Planned
Community, and Pacific Point (Pacifica San Juan). Based on KKC's prior experience
assessing bridge widening projects, overall extensive environmental experience, and
experience in the City, the firm is eminently qualified to prepare the environmental
documentation for the proposed project.
KKC's proposed budget of $48,425 provides for all aspects of the environmental
process including project management, preparing required technical studies (i.e.
acoustical analysis, air quality assessment, cultural resources, and paleontological
resources), preparing the draft and final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
(IS/MND), providing required legal notices, and attending public hearings. Because of
the project setting, the proposed project could result in a number of potentially
significant environmental impacts which must be evaluated. Staff has evaluated the
scope of work and determined that proposed cost is appropriate and reasonable in
relation to the environmental work that has been deemed necessary.
COMMISSIONS/BOARD REVIEW, RECOMMENDATIONS
The proposed project will be subject to the City's public review process and public
meetings before the Transportation Commission and Planning Commission. The
project may also warrant review by the City's Parks, Recreation, & Equestrian
Commission. Public meetings are anticipated to be conducted later this year.
Agenda Report • • July 3, 2006

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The 2006-2007 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) allocates $1,616,650 which includes
funding for preparation of the project environmental documentation and so, the project will
not impact the City's operating budget.
The 2007-2008 CIP allocates $4,883,350 for the proposed project resulting in total project
funding of $6.5 million. The bulk of project funding is being provided through a Master
Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) Grant from the Orange County Transportation
Authority (OCTA) and the City's Capistrano Circulation Fee Program (CCFP). Some
funding will be provided by Underground Utility District 05-02, and the City's Water Fund.

PROPOSAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES
DEL OBISPO STREET BRIDGE WIDENING PROJECT
PROPOSAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES
DEL OBISPO STREET BRIDGE WIDENING PROJECT
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA
SCOPE OF SERVICES
WORK PROGRAM
A work program has been developed to ensure that the environmental review process is carried out in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), the City of San Juan Capistrano adopted CEQA procedures, and Caltrans environmental analysis
guidelines for the preparation of a Preliminary Environmental Assessment (PES). The scope of services
envisioned by Keeton Kreitzer Consulting (KKC) to complete the work identified in this proposal includes:
(1) the provision of competent, effective environmental analysis; (2) project management; (3) incorporation
of existing technical studies and analysis, (4) preparation of the environmental documentation (i.e., initial
study/mitigated negative declaration); (5) processing of the environmental documentation and public
participation, (6) preparation of the final environmental document; and (7) preparation of CEQA notices.
These several objectives will be achieved through the completion of several work tasks. Each of these
work tasks has been identified and described below.
Task One - Project Initiation/Coordination
KKC will be responsible for managing and coordinating all of the work to be undertaken to prepare the
required environmental document (i.e., initial study and proposed Negative Declaration). Project
coordination will be an integral part of the planning process. As such, KKC proposes to have a Project
Initiation Meeting as the first step in that process. That meeting will be held at the first available time after
the contract has been awarded and executed. Participants in the meeting will include representatives of
the City of San Juan Capistrano, KKC, and other technical consultants deemed necessary to provide
direction in the planning and environmental review process for the proposed bridge widening project.
Topics of discussion will include the definition of the project description, specific issues to be addressed,
technical analysis required to evaluate the proposed project, identification of responsible agencies and
sources of information, and the project schedule. Subsequent meetings will be required and conducted
with resources agencies and technical specialists as the need may arise during the course of the project.
Therefore, KKC will attend up to six (6) additional meetings with participants in the environmental review
process for the proposed project. In addition, KKC will also serve as project manager and coordinate
work efforts between the City of San Juan Capistrano Planning Department and Public Works Department
staffs, subconsultants and resource agencies.
In summary, this task will include the following sub -tasks:
Consultation and coordination of the proposed project and environmental document with
the City of San Juan Capistrano to ensure that City policies as well as those of Caltrans
are addressed by the Draft environmental document,
Assurance that the Draft environmental document meets the requirements of CEQA, the
State CEQA Guidelines, NEPA, the City's CEQA procedures, and Caltrans; and

Coordination with City staff and project technical consultants and attendance at up to
seven (7) meetings.
Estimated Time Frame: As Required
Estimated Budget: $5,520.00
Task Two - Sub -Consultant Studies
In order to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with activities necessary to implement
the Del Obispo Street Bridge Widening project, it will be necessary to prepare several technical studies,
Including an acoustical analysis, an air quality assessment, hydrology1hydraulic analysis, traffic analysis,
and a variety of biological assessments. Several of these technical studies will be undertaken and
prepared by the project engineer (i.e., traffic analysis, hydrology/hydraulic analysis) and by specialized
consultants under contract to the City of San Juan Capistrano (i.e., biological resources assessments and
preliminary geotechnical/soils reports). Therefore, this task includes the preparation of three technical
studies: (1) a cultural, historic, and scientific resources assessments/records surveys, (2) air quality
assessment; and (3) acoustical analysis.
Archaeological Resources Management Consultants (ARMC) will undertake a cultural resources survey
for potential archaeological and historical resources pursuant to City Council Policy 601. The survey,
which will address cultural and historic resources that may be affected within the Area of Potential Effect
(APE), will also include a records search through the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) at
California State University, Fullerton. The findings of the records search and cultural resources survey will
be presented in a report and summarized in the Cultural Resources section of the Draft EIR along with
recommended mitigation measures as appropriate. In addition the historic assessment will address
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) as determined necessary by Caltrans.
In order to address City Council Policy 601, KKC also proposes to include the results of a paleontological
records search that will be conducted through the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, the
regional clearinghouse for those resources. Although it is not anticipated that paleontological resources
will be uncovered in the project area due to its location within the Trabuco Creek flood plain, a
paleontological resources field survey will also be undertaken by ARMC. ARMC will contact the Museum
of Natural History and other archives and request a records search to determine if paleontological sites
have been recorded within the limits of the Del Obispo Street Bridge project area or in the environs. In
addition, ARMC will conduct a survey of the affected area. The results and recommendations of the
records search and field survey will be documented and presented in the initial study. If it is determined
that paleontological resources would be affected as a result of project implementation, mitigation
measures will be identified.
In addition to the Cultural and Scientific Resources surveys identified above that will be prepared under
contract to KKC, other studies will also be required in order to adequately analyze the potential impacts
anticipated from the implementation of the proposed bridge widening project. The firm of Giroux &
Associates will conduct two technical studies. An acoustical analysis, which assesses construction -
related noise impacts on the surrounding development based on the types of equipment and duration of
the construction phase. In addition, the changes in traffic on the affected arterial system anticipated to
occur as a result of the proposed improvements will also be evaluated to determine the nature and extent
of any changes in mobile -source noise that result from project implementation. In addition, an air quality
analysis, which quantifies the construction -related impacts as well as post -construction air quality impacts
associated with changes in traffic volumes will also be evaluated.

As indicated above, several of the studies will be prepared by the project engineer (i.e., traffic analysis and
hydrology/hydraulic analysis) and/or will be provided by the City of San Juan Capistrano (i.e., preliminary
soils/geotechnical assessment, biological resource assessments). Applicable components of these
reports will also be appended to the Draft EIR. Although KKC will be responsible for coordinating with the
technical specialists and the City of San Juan Capistrano, the technical studies will be prepared under
contract with the City. These technical studies are identified below.
Preliminary Geotechnical Assessment/Soils Report
Traffic Analysis
Wetland Delineation/Impact Assessment

WQMP/SWPPP
Estimated Time Frame: Four Weeks
Estimated Budget: $ 15,160.00
Task Three - Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND)
KKC will be responsible for the preparation of the initial study for the proposed improvements to the Del
Obispo Street Bridge over Trabuco Creek. Based on a review of the State CEQA Guidelines, the
proposed project is neither statutorily nor categorically exempt. Therefore, it would be subject to CEQA
review. The initial study must necessarily be extensive and thorough and will allow the City to determine
whether the project qualifies for a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) or requires preparation of an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Each of the topics identified on the City's environmental checklist
form will be analyzed to document the nature and extent of any potential environmental consequences
(and the need for mitigation). The specific purpose of the analysis will be to document any adverse
environmental impacts associated with the proposed bridge improvements and reduce all potentially
significant impacts to a level of insignificance through the identification of appropriate and effective
mitigation measures. Where potential significant environmental effects are identified, appropriate
mitigation measures will be prescribed to ensure that the impacts can be reduced to a less than significant
level.
Based on the scope and nature of the proposed project, it is anticipated that any potentially significant
environmental impacts that would be anticipated can be mitigated. If so, the project would qualify for the
preparation of a mitigated negative declaration. However, no decision on the environmental determination
has been made at this time. As reflected above and in the work program, KKC has presented a scope of
work for the preparation of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). However, should the
Initial Study process identify any impacts that cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance, KKC and the
City would need to negotiate a contract amendment to provide for preparation of an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR).
The IS/MND will include the elements prescribed in the scope of work requirements identified by the City,
including: (1) Project Description; (2) Surrounding Land Use and Project Setting, (3) List of Responsible
Agencies, (4) Discussion of Environmental Evaluation; (5) Process Documentation, and (6) References. It
is important to note that environmental analysis identified above will address each of the environmental
issues listed on the City's Environmental Checklist. Once completed, five (5) copies of the proposed
Proposal for Environmental Consulting Services

PROPOSAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES
DEL OB/SPO STREET BRIDGE WIDENING PROJECT
IS/MND will be submitted to the City of San Juan Capistrano for review and comment. KKC will revise the
initial study based on the comments made by City staff and prepare the Draft IS/MND. Ten (10) copies of
the Environmental Administrator Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration will be prepared and
submitted to the City, and twenty (20) copies of the Public Hearing Draft IS/MND will be printed and
submitted to the City of San Juan Capistrano.
Once completed and approved by the City for public noticing, the Draft document will be distributed for a
30 -day public review and comment period as required by the State CEQA Guidelines for local project.
KKC will be responsible for distributing the document to the list of recipients developed in concert with the
City of San Juan Capistrano. These documents will be delivered to each of the recipients via certified mail
(return receipt requested). KKC will be also be responsible for posting the Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Negative Declaration with the Orange County Clerk -Recorder. The City will provide a mailing list to KKC
who will mail the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration to affected property owners
within 500 feet of the project.
Estimated Time Frame: Eight Weeks (Including four weeks in Task Two)
Estimated Budget: $14,080.00
Task Four - Preparation of the Final Negative Declaration
The Final IS/MND will include all written comments received on the document during the public comments
period as well as the responses prepared in accordance with CEQA requirements. KKC will prepare
written responses to all comments received during the public review and comment period. These
responses will be submitted to the City of San Juan Capistrano for review prior to completion of the Final
Negative Declaration. It is important to note that the budget identified below reflects a limited amount of
public comments. This budget may be revised if, after a thorough review of all comments received on the
Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration, it is determined that it is inadequate to respond to all of the
comments received on that document. Five (5) copies of the Final IS/MND will be submitted to the City of
San Juan Capistrano.
Estimated Time Frame: One Week
Estimated Budget: $ 2,520.00
Task Five - Public Hearings
As indicated in the City's RFP, KKC will attend two (2) public hearings, including one (1) before the San
Juan Capistrano Planning Commission and one (1) before the City Council. In addition, this task will also
include attendance at one (1) hearing before the City's Environmental Administrator. The Principal/Project
Manager will attend the public hearing and will be responsible for making all presentations and responding
to questions raised during the public hearing. Should additional hearings be required, they will be charged
at the appropriate hourly rate.

Determination nor Department of Fish and Game filing fees are included in the budget. Any such fees will
be the responsibility of the City of San Juan Capistrano.
Estimated Time Frame: As Required
Estimated Budget: $ 1,280.00
Task Seven — Preliminary Environmental Study (PES)
When a local agency desires federal funding for preparing environmental studies and preliminary
engineering, the local agency submits a "Request for Authorization" form to the District Local Assistance
Engineer (DLAE). The local agency may not proceed with reimbursable activities prior to the project's
inclusion in a federally approved Federal Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (FSTIP) and
receipt of "Authorization to Proceed" notification from Caltrans. The first step in the environmental
process for local agency federal -aid transportation projects "OFF" the State Highway System (SHS) is a
preliminary environmental investigation and completion of the PES Form. Because the project will be
funded in part by the Federal Highway Administration, Caltrans, which administers the funding program,
requires the preparation of a Preliminary Environmental Study. This task encompasses the research and
analysis necessary to prepare the PES.
The purpose of the PES is to determine the potential presence of sensitive environmental resources within
the project area. The PES process consists of two parts: (1) a four -step Preliminary Environmental
Investigation process, and (2) completion of the PES Form. The Preliminary Environmental Investigation
(i.e., Step 1) consists of:
• The development of a complete Project Description (which addresses independent utility
and logical termini), existing and proposed cross sections, and project maps.
A review of relevant literature, amps and inventories.
A request for technical information from resources and regulatory agencies.
Verification of research findings in the field (i.e., site visit) and Field Review with Caltrans
staff, if appropriate.
When preliminary environmental investigations indicate a potential for sensitive resources within the
project area, the local agency is responsible for undertaking the appropriate technical study to confirm the
presence of the resource and determine the potential significant effect(s) of the project on the resource.
To this end, the analysis undertaken to document the potential environmental effects will utilize the
findings presented in the several technical studies undertaken in Task 2, which were identified to be
necessary in order to adequately evaluate the environmental consequences anticipated as a result of
project implementation and documented in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared to

complete the CEQA process. If it is determined that a Categorical Exclusion (CE) determination is made
(i.e., no further NEPA-related environmental analysis is required), KKC will prepare and submit the CE to
Caltrans. It is important to note that this task does not include the preparation of an Environmental
Assessment (EA) or other environmental document prescribed by the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Should it be determined that an EA or EIS is required, a revised scope of work and budget will
be prepared and submitted to the City for approval.

PROPOSAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES
DEL OBISPO STREET BRIDGE WIDENING PROJECT
Newport Banning Local Coastal Program, Orange County, CA
Keeton Kreitzer Consulting has been selected to prepare the Draft Program EIR for the Newport
Banning LCP. This 412 -acre coastal project proposes the development of approximately 1,700
mixed residential dwelling units, a coastal inn, visitor -serving commercial, a potential school site,
public and private open space, and wetlands restoration. Although the County of Orange is the
"lead agency", a portion of the site is within the City of Newport Beach corporate limits and the City
will play an important role in the planning and environmental review processes. Several technical
studies must be completed in order to adequately evaluate this significant project in the County
and City of Newport Beach. These studies include soils and geology, traffic and circulation, noise,
air quality, biological resources, cultural and scientific resources, and aesthetics. Mr. Kreitzer will
be responsible for complete project management and preparation of the Draft Program EIR that
will be considered by both the County of Orange and City prior to each agency taking action on
the project.
