Scope of Services
IEC understands that the City of Santa Ana is seeking pre -qualified consultants to provide environmental clearance
for infill, redevelopment on vacant or underutilized parcels. The City has developed Envisioning Maps for Downtown
Santa Ana and the entire city, which provide a blueprint for Santa Ana's sustainable future. The Envisioning Maps
are based on the existing city framework of arterials, freeway and rail access, and land use. They identify areas
where existing land uses should be preserved and where rezoning and density modifications could strengthen the
City as well as provide new opportunities in business and job growth, fortify existing residential neighborhoods
and establish new residential and commercial projects through incentivized private investment and development.
The Envisioning Maps include specific plans for professional offices, mixed -use residential -commercial projects,
transit -oriented development, multi -modal mobility plans. Following paragraphs describe services that could be
needed for environmental compliance on these projects.
IEC can provide all three services to the City of Santa Ana as a Prime Consultant under the direction of City Staff.
A. Environmental Services
Environmental Services provided by IEC will include any and all services and deliverables related to compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This includes
preparation, filing and distribution of documents; technical studies and reports; environmental notices, and
City of Santa Ana
Statement of Qualifications for Environmental and Planning Services (RFQ R17-0431
representation and attendance at public and agency meetings, as well as stakeholder coordination and response
to comments. Our services will include: Initial Studies, environmental analyses and determinations for Categorical
Exemptions, Negative Declarations, Mitigated Negative Declarations, Environmental Impact Reports, Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Programs, Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations for CEQA
compliance, as well as Environmental Assessments, Finding of No Significant Impact, and Environmental Impact
Statements for NEPA compliance.
EIS — An Environmental Impact Statement may be needed for decision making purposes related to Grants or
Federal Resources. The EIS would disclose potentially significant environmental impacts. An Environmental Im-
pact Statement would provide clearance under the National Environmental Protection Act. The EIS work would
include the following:
• Purpose and Need
• Alternatives
• Data Collection Analysis of Issues
• Public/Agency Coordination
• Draft and Final EA/EIS Documents
• Meetings and Hearings
• Draft Notices
EIR — An Environmental Impact Report would be needed to disclose significant impacts from a project if mitiga-
tion measures and alternatives can not reduce impacts to less than significant levels through the Initial Study/
Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration process. An EIR scope would include:
• Project Description
• Alternatives
• Data Collection Analysis of Issues
• Initial Study/Impacts Identification
• Public/Agency Coordination
• Draft and Final EIR
• Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
• Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program

approval for projects under consideration by the City.
B. Technical Studies

deliverables related to documentation of baseline conditions and analysis of environmental impacts, future
cumulative impacts, and mitigation measures required for CEQA and NEPA compliance such as:

Environmental Constraints Analysis — IEC's team will be available to provide technical evaluation of environmen-
tal compliance strategies to reduce environmental impacts related to discretionary actions. We will perform
constraints analysis for the City of Santa Ana to identify thresholds of significance and modifications to proposed
actions which could reduce the level of analysis for CEQA/NEPA compliance and permits that are needed for
City of Santa Ana
Stotement of Qualifications for Environmental and Planning Services (RFQ #17-043)
discretionary approvals. We often identify project modifications which reduce the need for CEQA analysis to a
Notice of Exemption or Negative Declaration for our clients.
IS/MND - An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration would be needed if a project exceeds thresholds of
significance and anticipated impacts can be reduced to less than significant with mitigation measures.
IEC can provide experienced staff on an as -needed basis for current planning and advanced planning case
assignments to assist the City of Santa Ana with development projects and planning efforts.
