City Council Meeting – June 3, 2003 Approval of a Professional Services Agreement Page 2 of 2 added to the proposal. The new activities represent a broadening of the scale of the project and require additional impact assessments in the Environmental Impact Report. Additions to the Scope of Work will include the preparation of additional air quality/air toxics analysis, revisions to the Phase I ESA, an expansion of EIR sections and technical documents, the preparation and distribution of a revised Notice of Preparation (NOP), revisions to the Administrative Draft EIR, and an increase to other administrative, clerical and project management costs that were part of the original Agreement. The applicant will pay for the increase to the contract. ALTERNATIVES: Reject the applicant's request to add two amendments to the CUP and to revise the EIR currently being processed for the revised project. However, such an action would likely mean that the applicant would prepare additional environmental analysis and the consultants used would not be working under the direction nor review of the City. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no cost to the City. The applicant (Pacific Rail Industries) will pay for all work required by the consultant for the proposal. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The consultant is currently preparing an Environmental Impact Report for the proposed modifications to the CUP. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council approve an Amendment in the amount of $45,842 to the Professional Services Agreement with Michael Brandman Associates for the Pacific Rail hidustries project, and authorize the City Manager to execute the Amendment on behalf of the City.
