be coordinated with the City, but is anticipated to include criteria such as ease of construction, traffic impacts, duration, day or night time requirements, bypass pumping requirements, and construction costs. Alternatives analysis workshop will be held to discuss the evaluation matrix and proposed recommendations. A PowerPoint presentation will be prepared that shows each alternative, the pros and cons for each, and estimated project costs. We will obtain input from the City in this manner so as to recommend the appropriate project. Prior to finalizing the recommendation, we will obtain the geotechnical investigation report, potholing data, and all utility data to determine feasibility of the proposed recommendation. 1.6 Subsurface Utility Engineering Services As part of the preliminary alignment and alternatives analysis, some potholing may be preferred to take place during the preliminary design phase of the project. Slantec's subsurface utilities subconsultant will perform the subsurface utility engineering services for all known utilities crossings and potential conflict areas with other projects. Potholing will locate active and abandoned utilities within the project site. Potholes will also identify the existing pavement section (thickness of asphalt concrete, Portland cement concrete, asphalt base, native, etc.). 1.7Identify Permits and Stakeholder Coordination We will identify and coordinate utility work with the City and all impacted agencies prior to developing the final alignment for the selected sanitary sewer improvements. We will identify the all impacted stakeholders in relation to construction of the proposed project, scheduling, costs, and permits necessary for any reconstruction/relocation of existing utilities and/or permits. 1.8 Prepare Preliminary Design Report We will prepare a preliminary design report for the City's review and comment. The report will contain the necessary information to establish the project to be designed and constructed. The final design will be based on the conclusions and recommendations in the preliminary design report. 2—Environmental Documentation/Permitting 2.1 Initial Study Stantec will prepare an Initial Study (IS) that complies with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and conforms toestablished thresholds for determining significant effects. It is assumed that Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines will be used as the format for the IS, Stantec will prepare an IS that will provide a clear understanding of the potential effects of the project. An analysis of impacts that could occur as a result of project implementation will be presented for each resource area. Impacts will be assessed and described, and significance of impacts will be measured against criteria that have been established by regulation, accepted standards, or other definable criteria. In performing the environmental analysis, Stantec will rely on professional judgment and review of existing documentation, as well as the proposed technical studies included as part of this scope of work. The anticipated technical studies are: • Air Quality • Noise Study • Traffic • Drainage and Water Quality • Biological Resources Survey/Assessment and Report • Jurisdictional Wetlands/Waters Delineation and Report Others as determined 2.2 CEQA Documents Based on the Initial Study (IS) and as determined by the City, Stantec will either prepare a Negative Declaration (ND) or a Mitigated Negative Decoration (MIND). If mitigation is required, Stantec will include mitigation measures to reduce potentially significant impacts to less than significant to the degree feasible. In the event that federal funds and/or permits are required and therefore, NEPA compliance, we will advise the City. 2.3 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan If mitigation is required, Stantec will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP). The MMRP will include a tabular summary of mitigation measures, required timing, responsible party, and verification methodology. Stantec • Proposal for On Call Stormwater Protect Design Services
