SIERRA WAY SAN BERNARDINO, CA. 92410 (909) 884-9700 FAX (909) 889-8050 -- AMENDMENT NO. 1 ✓fr Januar; 15, 1495 e Tuts. Va"tone Shatyns i Solid Waste Manager City of Redlands PO Box 3005 Redlands, CA 92373 Re: Environmental Services for the California Street storm drain project. Dear Ms. Shatynski, Thank you for asking Tom Dodson &Associates(TDA)to assist the City of Redlands(City)with its California Street Landfill storm drains project. This proposal covers the environmental services support TDA will provide the City as Task 4 of our Master Agreement with the City dated December 19, 1995. Based on available plans and a site visit, it is our opinion that the outlet structure for the storm drain will be located within"waters of the United States"and within habitat of a federally listed endangered plant species the Santa Ana River Woollystar(Woollystar), Construction of the portion of the storm drain within the floodplain will require a Section 444 permit fi-om the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), a 401 Certification from the California Regional l�YatG[ Quality i)1IiZ i Uit[t7 kR '3vlieti Board) dsfit a scf ait ixs u xi�e ciclt i A L�cmacut x itc�i "Lic California Department of Fish and Game(DFG). It is also possible that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may require consultation on this project. Issuance of 401 Certification by the Regional Board will require that a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) determination be trade for the project. Based on our reviexv of the environmental document and determination for the Landfill's Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP) Revision. it is TDA's opinion that the Initial Study prepared for that project included an adequate evaluation of this project and that the Negative Declaration adopted is the proper CEQA determination for this project, Scope of Services TDA will meet with staff from the regulatory agencies to develop a course of action for permitting this project. Based on the results of those meetings, TDA will assist the City with preparation and processing of the appropriate permits and agreement applications. Because it is not possible to identify the amount ofwork effort that will be required by these agencies, TDA proposes to provide the above services on a time and expense basis at the following rates: Environmental Specialist I $100.00/hour Environmental Specialist 11 $75.00/hour Environmental Specialist III $65.00/hour Environmental Specialist IV $45.00/hour Graphics/Clerical $35.00/'hour Outside services IDA secures with your authorization will be invoiced at cost plus 10% and mileage charged at $0.35 per mile. TDA estimates the cost of providing the above services will not exceed $3,500.00. Should TDA determine the above services will exceed this estimate, TDA will meet with City staff to discuss the additional work effort. It should be anticipated that the regulatory agency will require a spring survey for Woollystars. Once final engineering drawings are available and the extent of the survey identified, TDA will provide the City with a proposal to provide that service. The scope of services provided by this proposal assumes the CEQA determination made for Landfills SWFP Revision adequately covered this project and that no additional environmental determination will be needed. Should additional environmental evaluation be required, TDA will submit a proposal to provide that service. Again,thank you for asking TDA to assist you with this project and should you have any questions or comments,please call. If you find this proposal acceptable,please provide us with authorization to proceed by signing in the space provided b low and amending TDA's Master Agreement. j Au orization to-Proceed Bill Gatlin y Vice President Swen Larson, Mayor ATTEST: By Lorri oyer, �Clerk
