<br />8 <br /> <br />Proposal <br />Tasks Outside the Scope of Work <br />The following are tasks FCS has identified as falling outside its Scope. <br />Written Responses to Comments <br />CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Checklists do not need to be circulated for public review. As such, this <br />Scope does not include time or budget for preparing written responses to comments received. Should <br />city staff request that FCS prepare written responses to comments, a separate scope and fee will be <br />prepared. <br />Newspaper Noticing/Local Noticing <br />FCS assumes that city staff will be responsible for noticing public meetings at which IS/Consistency <br />Checklist may be considered as part of project approval. <br />Notice of Determination Filing/Payment of Fees <br />The CEQA Guidelines do not explicitly state that a Notice of Determination (NOD) needs to be filed in <br />conjunction with the adoption of a Consistency Checklist. However, it is recommended that an NOD be <br />filed with the Alameda County Clerk’s Office within five business days of project approval to ensure that <br />the legal challenge period is limited to 30 days. The NOD filing requires payment of a County handling <br />fee and CDFW filing fee. This Scope assumes the city will prepare the NOD and the city/applicant will be <br />responsible for filing the NOD and paying the requisite fees. <br />Scope of Work Modifications <br />FCS assumes a stable and complete Project Description and project plan set at project initiation. In the <br />event the Project Description and/or Scope change to a degree that alters the fee estimate, FCS will <br />contact city staff in writing to submit a revised fee for mutual agreement, and a contract amendment will <br />be processed. Requests for additional work will be documented, and a completion timetable and <br />estimated fee will be submitted for city approval. <br />SCHEDULE <br />FCS has prepared the following schedule outlining the anticipated timing of each task for an <br />IS/Consistency Checklist. This schedule assumes the applicant-provided technical studies do not contain <br />substantive "errors" that would require major revision and are adequate for the purposes of CEQA; it <br />also assumes they will be available upon project initiation. <br />Task Week <br />Task 1: Project Initiation and Kick-off Meeting 1 <br />Task 2: Preparation of Comprehensive Project Description 2 <br />Task 3: Peer Review Applicant-Provided Technical Studies 3 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: FE1B6497-6527-4DEE-8F28-BF9999E929AA
