FIRSTCARBON Proposal ' SULU I IU \5 quantifying GHG impacts.Additional measures or design considerations will be proposed, as necessary, to reduce potential impacts to less-than-significant levels. Energy Analysis FCS will provide an analysis of energy impacts consistent with the CEQA Guidelines Appendix F Energy analysis requirements.The Energy Analysis will summarize relevant federal,State, and local regulations and policies that address energy consumption and demand, alternative fuels, and nonrenewable resources to determine whether the proposed project would conflict with or obstruct any required policies or mandatory measures related to energy conservation. Using the model inputs and assumptions associated with the Air Quality and GHG Emissions Analyses, FCS will provide energy consumption estimates associated with the construction and operation of the project.Specifically,the analysis will calculate on-site construction equipment fuel and electricity consumption, off-site construction vehicle fuel consumption, and project operation electricity, natural gas,and vehicle fuel consumption.The Energy Analysis will consider project design features that may affect the energy efficiency of the proposed project. Data Needs and Assumptions If necessary, FCS will provide the City with a Request for Information (RFI)that includes all necessary construction and operational parameters required for modeling. Where possible,the modeling data and assumptions that supported the GHG Emissions Due Diligence Memo for this project, as well as project information retrieved during correspondence with the City for the GHG Emissions Due Diligence Memo, will be utilized to support this analysis.This scope of work assumes relevant data (e.g., heavy-duty equipment, hours of use for equipment or emergency generators, if proposed)for the construction and operational analysis will be provided by the City or the Applicant. If project-specific information is not available, FCS can work with the City or Applicant to develop reasonable assumptions based on professional experience.This analysis will be completed within 5 weeks of receipt of the necessary project data and the client-approved project description. If changes are made to the client-approved project description that would require re-modeling for the above scope of work, it would be accomplished as an additional service, not included in this scope of work. Subtask 3.2: Biological Resources Assessment The site is currently developed with retail uses and landscaped parking areas. As such, FCS assumes that the site does not contain habitat beyond mature trees with a potential for nesting avian species. FCS's biological resources analysis will focus on a current review of publicly available existing information regarding the project site and its vicinity to identify protected biological resources that may be present, including the potential for nesting bird habitat,species listed as endangered or threatened under the state and federal Endangered Species Acts,wetlands or other sensitive natural communities, rare plants, and others. Existing information such as maps,aerial photographs,documents, and correspondence relative to the project site will be reviewed and analyzed. Upon the review of existing information, a field survey will be conducted and will cover all accessible areas of the project site.
