TASK 6.0: MANA GEMENT AND TEAM MEETINGS ESA's Project Manager Jill Hamilton will oversee staff assignments, budget and schedule management and work progress and quality. ESA will submit monthly progress reports along with monthly invoices for work to date. ESA will maintain regular contact with the Project Team to coordinate work progress. ESA's Project Manager will attend all meetings and will be joined by key technical staff if required. ESA has budgeted for the following Project Team meetings. Meetings: 4 -Project Team Meetings/conference calls OPTIONAL TASK: FEDERAL CONSULTATION (FESA/CAA/SECTION 106/U.S. ARMY CORPS O.F ENGINEERS COMPLIANCE) According to the CEQA Plus Guidelines, consultation with federal agencies may be initiated before or after CEQA review, but must be completed before a SRF loan commitment can be approved by the Board. The scope of federal agency consultation/permitting required for the project cannot be confirmed until specific facility sites and operations are identified. Potential federal consultation could be required if there are impacts to: wetlands/waters of the US (US Army Corps of Engineers; Nationwide Permit); federally listed threatened or endangered species (US Army Corps of Engineers for impacts to red legged frog only; otherwise, US Fish and Wildlife Service for consultation under Section 7 of the federal Endangered Species Act); or cultural resources (State Historic Preservation Office regarding compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act). At a minimum, the SWRCB will require documentation demonstrating that formal consultation with federal agencies is not required. Once the Initial Study has been completed, ESA can advise the City regarding federal consultation/permitting requirements and prepare a specific scope of work accordingly. ASSUMPTIONS USED IN DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SCOPE OF WORK AND BUDGET ESTIMATE ESA has made the following general assumptions in preparing this contract. Refer to the preceding section regarding number and type of deliverables associated with each work task. Project will not change substantially once environmental impact evaluation is underway. Project will not require an EIR. Only 1 preferred project will be evaluated in the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
