By: s —[ APPROVED AS TO FORM: 0i ESA Water • April 11, 2007 Mr. Eric Bauman City of San Juan Capistrano EBauman@SanJuanCapistrano.org 707 Wilshire Boulevard • Suite 1450 Los Angeles, CA 90017 213.599.4300 phone 213.599.4301 fax www.esassoc.com Subject: Proposal to Prepare an Initial Study Leading to a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Ortega Pipeline Project Dear Eric: ESA appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to conduct an environmental assessment pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Ortega Pipeline project. It is our understanding that the City is proposing to install approximately 5,287 linear feet of water conveyance pipeline within the Ortega Highway right-of-way. The pipeline would be installed during the proposed widening of the Ortega Highway currently under consideration by Caltrans. Environmental evaluation of the project would not begin until Caltrans adopts the CEQA compliance document on the highway widening project. By installing the pipeline during Caltrans' construction period, the City would minimize direct impacts of the project and avoid the need to disrupt the street in the future. Scope of Work ESA will prepare an Initial Study (IS) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines to evaluate potential impacts of the proposed pipeline installation project. The IS will include a project description that will describe the proposed project and list the project objectives. ESA will complete the CEQA checklist, providing necessary information to determine the significance of potential environmental impacts. ESA will provide brief discussions for each resource area identified in the Checklist to adequately explain impact significance conclusions. The IS will identify mitigation measures if necessary to minimize potential impacts. The IS will incorporate information included in Caltrans' environmental document as necessary to adequately evaluate the project's potential environmental impacts. We assume that this will include referencing the Caltrans cultural resources assessment. In addition, we assume that the installation of the pipeline would occur entirely within the construction footprint of the Caltrans project, and would not require clearing any vegetation or removing structures beyond that required for the Caltrans project. ESA staff will coordinate with City staff and Caltrans if necessary to confirm this assumption. For purposes of this scope proposal, we assume that the IS will conclude that a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) will be the appropriate CEQA compliance document. ESA will submit five copies of the draft of the IS/MND to the City for review. ESA will incorporate the City's comments and prepare up to 20 copies of the IS/MND for public review. We assume that the City will develop a mailing list and mail the document for public review. ESA will assist the City to ensure compliance with CEQA EXHIBIT "A" ESAc Water Eric Bauman April 11, 2007 Page 2 process requirements. If the City chooses to have a public meeting on the project, ESA staff will attend the meeting and be available to note comments and answer questions as appropriate. Following the public review period, ESA will compile comments received and prepare responses as part of the record for the project. For purposes of this proposal, we assume that fewer than ten comment letters will be received containing a moderate number of comments each. ESA will provide 10 copies of the Final IS/MND and an electronic copy on a CD. ESA will prepare a draft Notice of Determination (NOD). ESA will incorporate City comments and file the Final NOD with the State Clearinghouse and the County. ESA will be available to meet once at the City of San Juan Capistrano and participate in up to three conference calls regarding the project. Cost Estimate and Schedule ESA would conduct the above scope of work for a fee of $12,896. The attached spreadsheet provides more detail on the cost estimate. The following table summarizes the proposed schedule. Prepare Draft IS/MND Four weeks from start date Incorporate edits and publish IS/MND Two weeks Public review Four weeks Prepare responses to comments Two weeks The City adopts MND Four weeks? TOTAL Sixteen weeks from start date The scope and fee estimate do not include conducting pre -construction surveys for potential concerns. If you have any questions regarding this proposed scope please give me a call. We look forward to hearing from you.
