Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and Last revised 04/17/2023 Terraphase Engineering for Sea Level Rise Master Plan Exhibit A – Page 3 of 13 conditions base maps. The maps will be prepared for use in the stakeholder interviews conducted under Task 2.2. Task 2.2 Background Report Work The development of the Background Report will include a summary of findings from stakeholder interviews with the purpose of integrating racial equity into recommended strategies and prioritizing benefits to frontline communities and indigenous partners. The interview structure and protocol are designed to support an equitable shoreline adaptation master plan by capturing community residents’ lived experiences, practices, expertise, and visions for the future. Task 2.2.1 Schedule Interviews As part of this task, the project team will contact potential participants from City departments and the community previously identified in Task 1.1. The team will begin by contacting leaders of existing community groups (e.g., San Leandro 2050, Common Vision, Unity in the Community) and indigenous partners (the Sogorea Te Land Trust/Confederated Villages of Lisjan [Ohlone]), who directly work with those most vulnerable, and can speak to the concerns and perspectives of communities that have been impacted by past discrimination and indigenous practices that increase resilience. These leaders will be leveraged for their networks to identify participants for either individual or small group interviews. We will also use snowball sampling where appropriate to identify additional individuals for interviews. • Target number of interviews: 20 in total; combination of individual and/or small group • Target City department interviews: 10 in total, combination of individual and/or small group • Community stakeholder interviews: 10 in total, combination of individual and/or small group Task 2.2.2 Prepare Materials for Interviews The project team will develop contextual material to present to participants that include scenarios of surface water flooding and groundwater emergence for years 2050 and 2100 in the form of maps and other visuals that identify areas at risk. Maps will include locations of a preliminary list of critical infrastructure, resources, and assets at risk. Task 2.2.3 Develop Survey Instrument and Protocol The team will develop a series of interview questions that revolve around describing Challenges, Strengths, and Opportunities for shoreline adaptation strategies and desired goals of the shoreline master plan. Questions will be designed to be open-ended to encourage open conversation and connection between participants and the interviewer. The open-ended survey will be designed to be conducted via phone, video-call, or via an on-line survey tool, depending on the comfort of the participant. The stakeholder interview questions and approach is similar to the framework used by the consultant for the West Kaua’i Community Vulnerability Assessment. Terraphase anticipates that a City translator will assist with multi-lingual translation of the questions for appropriate participants and translation during interviews. Task 2.2.4 Interviews Individual and group interview questions will be loosely grouped into the following categories and will be designed as semi-structured with the intention of encouraging open dialogue.
