The end product of this effort is a completed ITP with the applicant capable of proceeding with the envisioned ground disturbance. However, the interactions with the FWS aze often complex and unpredictable. Often times, the simplest project takes the most torturous path to resolution with the Service. We know the Service's goals, their personnel and their process and TDA believes that it can accomplish your objectives as well as most consultants. In the end, it requires staying power and flexibility to obtain the necessary permit and we can provide this support for the proposed project. Total estimated cost for this task, assuming all funds for Task 4 aze spent, is $13,000. Scope of Work: CEOA Compliance Task 1: Immediately upon authorization to proceed, TDA will review all of [he information developed to date, focusing on the project construction, design and operation. TDA will prepare a project descr:p:ior. ��ith sefficient detail that it can be used to identify all physical chan�es to the environment that can result from implementing the proposed project. The initial project under consideration is a Big League Dreams recreational project on a portion of the project site. An accurate definition of the project is a critical step in the process of preparing a CEQA document because it establishes the framework for forecasting the potential adverse environmental impacts that can result from implementing the preferred project. The project description will identify all proposed construction activities and operational effects from implementing the proposed project. A draft of the project description will be provided to the City and your office for review and comment and it will then be finalized by TDA. I anticipate that a total of 20 hours will be required to complete the project description. The fee for this effort is $2,400. The deliverable product from this task will be a completed project description which will be used to prepaze the impact analysis in a combined Initial Study (IS) format. Task 2: Working with the City and the design consultant, TDA will prepaze a fully substantiated IS. Based on my review of the information provided to date, I recommend that several issues will require technical studies: traffic is the most important; cultural resources; noise; and drainage, including surface water quality. Regazding the need for a cultural resources evaluation, I have arranged to have CRM TECH perform a records check for the project site as an initial threshold evaluation. It is assumed that biological resource surveys have already been prepazed and these will be used to prepaze the biological resources section of the Initial Study. 'I'he following are the estimated fees for the technical studies a. Traffic: Since this is a recreation facility, I do not anticipate that the primary traffic being generated will not occur during the peak hour. So, I do not anticipate that a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) will have to be prepared, but a traffic study will be needed to define the impacts oo the local circulation system which provides limited access to the site at this time. Estimated fee for this effort if $8,000. b. Cultural Resources: The records check will be provided for a fee not to exceed $750. 2
