The RFP acknowledges the potential for additional City meetings. The Rincon team attendance at these meetings will be billed on a time and materials basis at current rates, as shown in our cost sheet and rates. The cost of our attendance at subcommittee meetings will vary depending on the level of consultant team involvement and the topic at hand. A per meeting cost per firm is anticipated to range from $1,200 to $2,5 00. Deliverables: Final Housing Element, Reports, Resolutions, Presentations, and Correspondence Task N. CEQA Documentation The Rincon team will prepare the required CEQA review for the project. Prior to finalizing the scope of the CEQA document, the Rincon team will review certified EIRs to see if an addendum or supplemental document could be prepared. We will discuss our recommended approach with the City before commencing this task. For purposes of budget, we scoped the following subtasks to prepare a standalone EIR. Notice of Preparation and Scoping Meeting The Rincon team will draft a Notice of Preparation (NOP) in consultation with City staff. The NOP will include a brief description of the scope of the project, a map of the opportunity sites, and instructions for submitting comments, as well as other CEQA -required information. The Rincon team will submit a final PDF copy of the NOP to City staff for posting on its website and for distribution to public agencies. We assume the City will distribute the NOP. The Rincon team will upload the NOP to the State Clearinghouse/Office of Planning and Research using their online platform (no printed copies are currently needed for this filing), and will file the NOP with the County Clerk. During the 30-day public scoping period for the NOP, the Rincon team and City staff will conduct a public scoping meeting to introduce the CEQA process and timeline, and to obtain input on the EIR scope. The Rincon team will summarize the comments into general themes to be addressed in the EIR. This scope assumes no transcript of verbatim comments will be provided. Administrative Draft EIR The Rincon team will prepare an administrative draft EIR in compliance with CEQA requirements, comments on the NOP, and information from other relevant documents completed by the City in recent years. Each topical section in the environmental analysis will be introduced with a brief statement of its context in the EIR. The setting for each topical section of the EIR will describe existing conditions relevant to the topic and provide the groundwork for impact analysis. The Rincon team will clearly state the thresholds used to determine the significance of project impacts and will include thresholds in the CEQA Guidelines, Appendix G, City guidelines (as applicable), and existing regulatory standards, where applicable. For each potentially significant impact i dentified in the administrative draft EIR, the Rincon team will DocuSign Envelope ID: 52DE9C19-FF3F-4BE0-99DB-BF80F1BD0FBC
