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 6 of 13 • Build relationships and an organizing framework for advancing collaborative efforts among public and private landowners at a City-wide and regional scale; • Improve the collective understanding of risks to shoreline resources and infrastructure from flooding, inundation, and groundwater emergence hazards associated with SLR in the City of San Leandro; • Identify vulnerable populations and the interests of affected landowners and stakeholders, including non-transportation infrastructure (water, natural gas, electricity), municipal facilities, industrial facilities, recreational areas, and cultural resources; • Identify feasible conceptual designs for SLR adaptation actions that protect infrastructure and are compatible with adjacent land and develop an implementation strategy; • Develop tools for evaluating the costs and benefits of investing in adaptation projects. • Proposed draft goals and policies will be compiled and submitted to City staff for further comment in order to support refinement and ultimate development of the final project goals and policies that will set the stage for the initial development of the Shoreline SLR Adaptation Master Plan. Task 4.2 Develop Adaptation Strategies The Terraphase Team will propose adaptation strategies and associated implementation actions that address shoreline vulnerabilities identified by the Team (and specific vulnerabilities identified in the 2017 Climate Vulnerability Assessment and the 2017 Human Services Gap Analysis), advance Shoreline Master Plan policies, achieve the Shoreline Master Plan goals, and complement the climate resilience efforts identified in the San Leandro Green Infrastructure Plan and Climate Action Plan. The proposed adaptation strategies and associated implementation actions will be feasible steps that the City of San Leandro can take to adapt to SLR and reduce vulnerabilities in both near-term and long-term planning Horizons. The strategies and actions will also be informed by regional, state, and national “best practices,” for example: • Regional: The BCDC’s ART program, the East Bay Regional Park District’s Risk Assessment and Adaptation Prioritization Plan (RAAPP), and the San Francisco Bay Shoreline Adaptation Atlas. • State: The California Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (CalBRACE) Adaptation Planning Toolkit, the Adaptation Clearinghouse, the Adaptation Planning Guide, the Ocean Protection Council Sea Level Rise Guidance, Sea Level Rise Planning Guidance for California’s Coastal Zone, and the Coastal Commission Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance. • Federal: FEMA’s resources on nature-based solutions, the EPA’s Workbook for Developing Risk- Based Adaptation Plans, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Engineering with Nature guidance. • Other: The American Planning Association (APA) Planning for Climate Mitigation and Adaptation report and the Georgetown Climate Center’s adaptation toolkits. Working with the City, the Terraphase Team will develop SLR adaptation strategies and steps designed to implement the identified goals and objectives developed under Task 4.1. The purpose of this Task is to support development of the Implementation Master Plan to follow in pursuit of the goals and address identified SLR vulnerabilities. The following elements will be included in the development of specific City of San Leandro SLR adaptation implementation strategies:
