AGREEMENT 2-0149 Exhibit A Task 5 - Coordination with Resource/Permitting Agencies and Local Jurisdictions This task involves the coordination with resource/permitting agencies and local jurisdictions. Several resource agencies (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, California Department of Fish and Game) have regulatory jurisdiction over the nature, location, and magnitude of mitigation that will be necessary for habitat losses in various drainage areas affected by The Centerline Project. These details will need to be resolved before the PROJECT can move forward, and it is likely that this resolution will not be achieved completely until final design activities are in progress. However, coordination with these agencies should be an on-going activity during the environmental process associated with the LPA to identify any issues that' may need to be resolved in later stages of project development. The concept and general parameters governing this effort will need to be outlined in the Record of Decision and the Final Mitigation Monitoring Program certified by the FTA and The AUTHORITY. Permits will also need to be obtained from the Regional Water Quality Control Board and from the Cities of Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and Irvine for construction activities to be undertaken within those jurisdictions. Although permit coordination is discussed in this scope of work, the obtaining of permits is included as part of the scope, however, The AUTHORiTY will be responsible for permit fees. To carry out this coordination, the CONSULTANT will recommend a course of action to meet and review issues and concerns with the affected agencies and jurisdictions. In particular, the CONSULTANT will need to review with each of the affected local jurisdictions along the LPA, measures that are being developed and proposed to mitigate the potential impacts associated with construction and operation of The Centerline Project. This task will also include coordination with The AUTHORITY, FTA, and the State Historic Preservation Officer. This task is largely based on a cost-per-month budget and assumes an 18-month project duration. Deliverables: . Plan outlining the process by which the selected CONSULTANT would coordinate with affected agencies and jurisdictions, including target agencies and contacts within 20 days from Notice to Proceed. 14
