SCOPE OF WORK Task 1: Project Initiation FCS's Project Manager, Kelsey Bennett, and other key team members will meet with City staff(and the applicant team, if appropriate)to clarify and confirm the project description, identify key contacts, discuss scheduling targets, and obtain copies of the project plans and other relevant information.A site visit will be conducted as part of the project initiation process and is assumed to occur on the same day as the kick-off meeting. Because of the complexities involved in this project, FCS will recommend a schedule for ongoing project team coordination (monthly and/or weekly,as needed)to ensure that issues are discussed and resolved efficiently early in the process. Peer Review of Applicant Prepared Reports The applicant has submitted numerous technical reports. FCS and our subconsultants will review the reports for adequacy and will confirm whether the methodologies used as well as the analysis and recommendations/conclusions are adequate for use in the preparation of the EIR. FCS will identify any scope refinements or additional technical analysis is required. • FCS will review the reports related to biology and cultural resources. • WRECO will evaluate reports related to hydrology and water quality • Ninyo&Moore will review reports related to geology and hazardous materials. Task 2: Notice of Preparation FCS will prepare a Notice of Preparation(NOP) in accordance with requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15082. Issuance of the NOP is the first milestone in the CEQA process and announces a lead agency's intent to prepare an EIR.The NOP will identify the project location, provide a summary of the project characteristics, and list probable environmental effects, supported by tables and color graphics. FCS will refine the NOP based on one round of review and comment by the City. The City will be responsible for distributing the NOP to local agencies and interested parties.Following release of the NOP,this scope of work assumes that the City will hold a public scoping meeting in Pleasanton,which FCS representatives will attend. (Meeting attendance at the scoping meeting is accounted for in Task 11, Meetings/Hearings.) FCS staff will conduct the meeting, presenting project information, answering questions, and summarizing public comment to confirm the scope of the EIR. All public comments received at the scoping meeting will be documented in the Draft EIR.
