agencies and others to identify the environmental issues raised by the City's proposed dredging project and ascertain the level of analysis necessary to address likely environmental and regulatory concerns. Consultant shall coordinate and assist the City in completing the CEQA Categorical Exclusion documentation. 2. Task 2 -Prepare Sediment Analysis Plan Consultant shall utilize the results of a hydrographic survey, to be done by others, to update the chemistry and toxicity of sediments within the Marina basin and develop a sediment sampling and analysis plan (SAP) for testing sediments proposed to be dredged by the City. The SAP will be submitted to the Dredged Material Management Office (DMMO) for review and approval. Upon receipt of comments from the DMMO on the SAP, consultant shall make any necessary revisions to the SAP to secure final DMMO approval of the SAP. 3. Task 3 -Sediment Sampling and Analysis Consultant, utilizing a specialized subcontractor, shall conduct sediment sampling and analysis as required under the approved SAP. The sampling effort is assumed to consist of taking five individual samples and compositing them into one sample for chemical analysis and bioassay testing. Split samples may also need to be taken for sediments near the fuel dock. Appropriate controls and reference sediments would be tested as required under DMMO protocols. The cost to complete the sampling and testing shown in Exhibit B is a preliminary estimate only based upon the assumed scope of work. Once the final SAP is approved and the extent of the required sampling and testing is known, Consultant shall submit a revised cost estimate and a copy of the subcontract agreement to the Engineer for approval. 4. Task 4 -Obtain Environmental Permits/Approvals Consultant shall prcpare all necessary applications and supporting materials to obtain approvals for the City's dredging project (berth areas) from the DMMO agencies, including the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Bay Conservation and Development Commission, and US Army Corps of Engineers. It is anticipated that the City's dredging project would qualify for aRegion-Wide Permit from BCDC, a Nationwide Permit from the Corps, and a Waiver of Water Quality Certification from the Regional Board. Consultant shall also compile the waste discharge requirements from the Regional Board for the disposal of dredged material at the City's DMMS for inclusion in the construction documents. 5. Task 5 -Schedule, Coordination and Meetings Consultant shall develop a listing of tasks and prepare a schedule for completing the environmental documentation and regulatory process. The schedule will indicate all key tasks and milestones to be achieved, the relationship between those tasks/milestones, and the parties responsible for achieving the milestone.
