This letter also includes a summary of the additional scope and budget needed to fully evaluate the development of a Kaiser Medical Center on the project site. For your convenience, a subtotal of the costs associated with Marina Point and Kaiser portions is provided. Marina Point Evaluation of Potential Historic Resources (also applies to Kaiser Medical Center) Our original scope assumed that no potential historic resources were present in the project area. Research conducted during the preparation of the Initial Study for the project determined that a number of on site buildings were constructed over 45 years ago. The Northwest Information Center at Sonoma State recommended that these buildings be evaluated for their potential as historic resources. To comply with this recommendation, PBS&J will conduct an historic resource investigation for the proposed project. The investigation will include additional background research, a field survey, and the preparation of an Historic Resources Survey Report. The report will include a brief historical background, a physical description and photographs of the buildings, and an evaluation of the buildings as a complex to determine if It is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Resources. If the building is determined eligible, an evaluation of potential impacts that could result from the proposed project will be completed. Department of Parks and Recreation Primary Record (DPR 523a) and Building, Structure, and Object Reports (DPR 523b) forms will be completed for the complex and appended to the report. The results of the above-described historic resource investigation will be summarized in the a Cultural Resources Report for the project site. This scope and budget assumes a maximum of 10 buildings will be recorded as a single complex. Costs associated with these additional tasks total $17,800. Traffic Analysis Dowling Associates (DA), the transportation subconsultant for the project, has been requested to expand their original scope of work to assist the project proponents. DA staff will conduct an analysis to determine the fair share costs for the improvements proposed at the I-880/Marina Boulevard Interchange.
