We would like to continue our relationship with the City by providing environmental documentation services to meet the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). ICF is a multi-disciplinary environmental consulting firm with a core practice in CEQA documentation, environmental analysis, and regulatory compliance. Our project management team would provide a strong knowledge of, and practical experience with CEQA, as well as extensive experience preparing a full range of technical studies and documentation for similar types of residential developments and projects, including several projects within Santa Ana, and many projects within the surrounding area. Attached please find our revised proposal to provide CEQA documentation services for the proposed residential project. This revised scope and cost has been updated to include a long- term (2035) traffic assessment and evaluation of 15 intersections and 15 roadway segments, as requested by Zed Kekula, P.E., City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency - Traffic Engineering. As further detailed herein under the Traffic Impact Assessment Task, long-term (Year 2035) peak hour traffic forecasts will be forecast based on modeled traffic projections prepared by OCTA utilizing the OCTAM3.3 Year 2035 Model. We have also added an additional review cycle for the Initial Study, Draft EIR, and Final EIR. This proposal is based on our limited understanding of the project and knowledge of the project area. We have submitted a scope of work, cost, and schedule that reflects our experience and commitment to expediting the EIR process. We appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal to the City and look forward to working with the City.
