SEQUOIA ECOLOGICAL CONSULTING, INC.

Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. Scope of Work and Cost Estimate to Support Fuels Management Efforts at Augustin Bernal Community Park Page 2 of 5 Assumptions  The City of Pleasanton will provide Sequoia’s team with details about any specific concerns of the City or other local fire agencies and participating entities, consultants, and landowners. This includes any policies or restrictions regarding the use of herbicides, grazing, and applied fire.  Sequoia’s team will need to access multiple sites within the project area. The City of Pleasanton will ensure that all necessary landowner notifications are made, and safe site access is provided with Right of Entry (ROE) permits.  Treatment prescriptions may be further refined during development of the Project Description section of the PSA. Treatments are being drafted and finalized by Carol Rice.  Sequoia will cover all agency coordination with California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and CAL FIRE as needed.  We have provided an estimate of costs based on the assumption that three (3) 1-hour virtual meetings, and one (1) field site visit with the City and the local fire department, will be sufficient. We assume these meetings will take place during development of the PSA as needed, or as requested by the City. If additional time is required, a change order will be necessary.  Sequoia will provide a weekly email to the City relaying the project status.  Costs include a site walkdown with select members of the project team responsible for authoring the fuels prescription and project design, as well as a Sequoia project manager, technical specialist, and biologist/botanist.  Additional support beyond the final contract amount can be provided with a change order, or a contingency budget for as-needed support requests can be established using Sequoia’s and team members’ 2024- 2025 hourly rates. Task 2. Project Specific Analysis (PSA) and Addendum The PSA will tier from and reference the California Vegetation Treatment Program (CalVTP) Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR). Because portions of the Project area include land outside of the Treatable Landscape, this scope assumes that a PSA and Addendum to the CalVTP PEIR will be required. Draft PSA Since the project is within the Treatable Landscape, and is considered a covered activity under the CalVTP PEIR, the team will prepare a Draft PSA using Appendix PD-3: Project Specific Analysis, of the PEIR. The Draft PSA will include a description of the proposed vegetation treatment activities and description of the project area, as well as narrative responses to the CalVTP PEIR Environmental Checklist that environmental effects of the proposed treatment have been covered in the PEIR and none of the criteria for preparation of subsequent California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documentation are met (State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15168(c)(2), 15162). We will identify relevant Standard Project Requirements (SPRs) and mitigation measures identified in the CalVTP PEIR. Draft Addendum Since portions of the project are outside of the Treatable Landscape but would involve similar impacts and habitat types, the team will prepare an Addendum to the CalVTP PEIR. The team will prepare the Draft Addendum in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. It is anticipated that the proposed project will not result in new or substantially more severe significant environmental impacts compared with the impacts disclosed in the CalVTP PEIR, nor are there any other Docusign Envelope ID: 45ECA280-4F7D-4538-9707-7541E52176E0Docusign Envelope ID: 5D4EC021-AEE5-441C-B0EC-FA81BB33A050
