CITY OF SAN RAFAEL City Manager ATTEST: A. cZ- Clerk 91 CONTRACTOR APPROVED A Iled, City Attorney Professional (5/2/97 EXHIBIT `A' TASK 1: PREPARATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE DRAFT EIR Pumose: To prepare a comprehensive and legally defensible EIR evaluating the potential environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the Fair, Isaac Office Park (Project). Approach: 1. Project Description -- Incorporate (and revise as will be appropriate based on completion of application filings and the change in EIR processing direction), the project description developed for Phase I, based on information provided by the City staff in conjunction with the Fair, Isaac Coordinating Committee, and provided during project initiation. At minimum, (and as previously developed as part of the Phase I effort), this section will include/(reference) the following: Regional and local setting. b. Site history. Objectives of the project. d. Project characteristics, including any discretionary actions required by the City and important project features. Intended uses of the EIR (as required by §15124 (d) of the State CEQA Guidelines) including a list of responsible and other agencies expected to use the EIR in decision making and a list of approvals for which the EIR will be used. 2. Effects Found Not to be Significant — Describe effects found not to be significant, in accordance with §15128 of the State CEQA Guidelines, by listing them with brief explanations of why they are not significant and by referral to the evidence supporting the finding in the Initial Studv. For purposes of this scope of work and budget, the following topics are assumed to be listed as effects found not to be significant for the Fair, Isaac Office Park: agricultural resources; groundwater supply; population and housing; energy and mineral resources; schools, regional water treatment/distribution facilities, local/regional water supplies and cultural resources. Following receipt of the NOP responses, RBF will review these issues with the City to determine whether these issues need to be examined in the EIR. Mandatory findings of significance in Public Resources Code §21083 and Appendix I of the State CEQA Guidelines (Environmental Checklist Form, Section XVI) shall be addressed. 3. Mitigation Measures -- A key element of this process is to propose actions that can eliminate or reduce potentially significant effects. Mitigation measures will be identified for each potentially significant/significant impact. Mitigation measures will be as specific as possible and tied to performance standards, design guidelines, implementation actions, General Plan policies, or other programs. Such measures will be qualified where possible to provide an understanding of the degree of reduction that can be accomplished for adverse impacts. Mitigation measures will be grouped into categories as follows: City of San Rafael Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates Fair, Isaac Office Park Project 1-1 Phase II - Scope of Work G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK May 5, 1997 Features that are presently part of the proposed actions. Mitigation measures that could be incorporated into the Fair, Isaac Office Park Plan, (or related projects, as appropriate) to reduce or eliminate significant impacts. 4. Topical Areas to be Addressed -- Document baseline conditions, conduct project - related and cumulative impact evaluations, and formulate mitigation measures. Environmental impacts will be described and identified as either potentially significant (but mitigatable), significant unavoidable impacts, less -than -significant impacts, and where appropriate, beneficial impacts. Specific topical areas to be addressed and the general approach and methodology to be used will be discussed with the City staff. Prior to initiating work on this subtask, RBF will prepare and submit a preliminary Introduction and Table of Contents to the City of San Rafael Staff for approval. At minimum, the Scope of Work for specific topical issues will include analysis of the following topical areas: Land Use. ADulicable Plans. and Policies This section will describe the setting in the project study area including existing uses onsite, existing uses adjacent to the site and planned uses in the project study area. The project is envisioned to enhance the visual image of Downtown San Rafael and provide a landmark development which creates a gateway entrance to the downtown. The campus setting of the proposed Fair, Isaac development is an addition to downtown and would provide a vital transition to the Mahon Creek environs. RBF will evaluate the appropriateness of the proposed uses in comparison to on-site and surrounding uses. The analysis will include a compatibility review with adjacent residential areas as well as Albert Park, the existing PG&E Substation, the extension of Andersen Drive and other nearby Downtown uses, especially the Fourth Street retail core. The project would provide an additional influx of people adding vitality and activity to Downtown. RBF will analyze the relationship of the project to all applicable ordinances and planning policies. The ordinances and policies shall include: 1) City of San Rafael General Plan 2000; 2) Our Vision of Downtown San Rafael and Our Implementing Strategy (which has been incorporated into the General Plan); 3) Downtown San Rafael Design Policies and Guidelines; 4) City of San Rafael Zoning Ordinance; 5) The Mahon Creek Restoration Conceptual Plan; and 6) Albert Park Master Plan. RBF also intends to utilize information available from the public scoping and NOP process to identify land use concerns and the potential for public controversy. The land use analysis will address the proposed Zoning amendments for the Fair, Isaac Office Park Project. In addition the following discretionary actions will be reviewed: City of San Rafael Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates Fair, Isaac Office Park Project 1-2 Phase II - Scope of Work G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK May 5, 1997 b Approval of a Development Plan. b Approval of a Tentative Subdivision Map (s) to allow for minor land divisions and/or adjustment in parcel lines. Approval of a Master Environmental and Design Review (Master ED) Permit to provide comprehensive environmental clearance for the overall project layout, maximum building square footage (may be adjusted), footprint of the buildings, conceptual landscaping and conceptual circulation plan. Approval of a Development Agreement. In addition RBF will review the intensification of uses on-site and identify potential project and cumulative impacts to nearby residences. The analysis will focus upon the integration of project uses in consideration of "the big picture" which involves the development of a handsome landmark development on the PG&E site, the establishment of a visual gateway to the downtown, visual continuity with districts contiguous to the Lindaro District and activities that compliment Downtown services. It is anticipated that the proposed project would infuse new vitality, activity and creativity as well as economic prosperity to Downtown. Mitigation measures will be recommended to reduce potential impacts to the extent feasible. b. Biological Resources (Refer to Attachment 2, H.T. Harvey for a revised fee estimate for this task). Site Reconnaissance: H.T. Harvey & Associates will conduct biological reconnaissance -level field surveys of the project site and its immediate vicinity. These surveys will supplement H.T. Harvey's review of background materials and reports conducted under Phase I (including the Final Wetlands Report, Mahon Creek Between 101 and "B" Street, prepared by RMI, December 1996). The biotic habitats of the project site will be surveyed and delineated on a map of appropriate scale. The dominant tree, shrub, and herbaceous flora will be described. This information will be generated both for the purpose of characterizing the botanical resources of the site, but also for the purpose of characterizing wildlife habitat values (see below). Included in this task will be the identification of biotic habitats suitable for the occurrence of plant species of special status (state and/or federally threatened or endangered, federal candidate species, and California Native Plant Society List 1B species). Species specific surveys for special -status plants are not proposed at this time. Additional surveys would need to be scoped and budgeted separately if our initial surveys indicate that the site could support any potential special -status species. City of San Rafael Fair, Isaac Office Park Project G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates 1-3 Phase lI - Scope of Work May 5, 1997 The information generated by the habitat surveys described above will be used to characterize wildlife habitat values. Reconnaissance level surveys will also document general wildlife use of the site and habitats immediately adjacent to it. Habitats appropriate for state and federally listed threatened and endangered terrestrial vertebrate species, and other such species of special status will be identified. These reconnaissance surveys will be used to determine the suitability of the development sites to support these species. Additional surveys may be recommended if habitat suitable for special -status animal species is identified on the project site, or, if, in the absence of such surveys, project impacts cannot be adequately assessed. H.T. Harvey & Associates will also conduct a reconnaissance -level survey of those areas which may meet the technical criteria of Waters of the United States (waters) and/or under the authority of the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG). Preparation of ADEIR: H.T. Harvey & Associates will analyze the elements of the proposed project in the context of the biotic resources of the project site and vicinity and identify site specific and cumulative impacts. Conformance to City policies and standards will also be analyzed. Indirect effects will also be identified, in part by examining the proximity of proposed development to biotic habitats, especially the riparian corridor. Included in this analysis will be a discussion of short- term and long-term effects of the project on biotic resources of the site, as well as any significant irreversible environmental changes. H.T. Harvey's biologists will identify all impacts as significant or less -than - significant. The CEQA Guidelines, especially Appendix G, will be the basis for determining whether a given impact is significant or not. Project effects will be considered significant if: 1) the project will result in a substantial reduction in wildlife populations of the site, and/or regional biodiversity; 2) the project will adversely affect populations of threatened and endangered species, or their habitat; 3) the project will result in barriers to the movement of fish and wildlife. Mitigation of all significant environmental effects on biotic resources of the project site shall be proposed. There may also be other mitigations warranted depending on the results of field surveys and the layout of the Preliminary Site Plan. Mitigation, as it shall apply to a discussion of how to ameliorate the significant effects of the project on biotic resources on and off the project site, will include avoidance of the impact, minimizing the impact by decreasing the magnitude of the action, restoring the biotic resource to its former condition after the impact has occurred, reducing or eliminating the impact over time by appropriate preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the project, compensating for the impact by replacing elsewhere those habitats or those biota that have been adversely affected. City of San Rafael Fair, Isaac Office Park Project G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates 1-4 Phase II - Scope of Work May 5, 1997 The Biological Resources sections of the Administrative Draft Environmental Report will be prepared. The report will include summaries of pertinent information from previous biotic studies (biological assessments, etc.) and validation of previous site-specific biological resource conclusions. All phases of the project will be considered in the evaluation of impacts on regional and site-specific biotic resources. Significant environmental effects of the project, significant environmental effects which cannot be avoided if the proposal is implemented, and mitigation measures to minimize the significant effects. A list of references and persons consulted will also be provided. Meetings: One meeting by the managing biologist has been budgeted. If attendance at additional meetings is required, the time would be invoiced on a time and charges basis, with prior authorization by RBF/City staff. Geotechnical/Geoloev Miller Pacific Engineering Group will provide geologic and geotechnical services for this phase of the project. The following scope of work was developed based on discussions with City staff and a comprehensive review of background reports, previously prepared studies, and available resources. b The following significant geotechnical conditions and hazardous will be analyzed: geologic setting, local site conditions, fault rupture potential, seismicity, ground shaking, liquefaction potential, ground failure (lurching and compaction settlement), long term settlement, expansive soils, seiche and tsunami. b Detailed site reconnaissance inspection. b Review of the Preliminary Geotechnical Report prepared by Harding Lawson, the report will be peer reviewed to determine adequacy and sufficiently of the analysis. Recommendation to modify the analysis will be provided (if appropriate) to ensure that all geotechnical conditions are adequately addressed. b Analysis and evaluation of geotechnical conditions and geologic hazards to determine relative risk. �J Develop recommendations for mitigation of the identified potentially significant and/or significant hazards. �J Prepare an Administrative Draft and Draft EIR section on Soils, Geology and Seismicity. Deliverables will include the main text in EIR format, a bibliography and appropriate illustrative maps and drawings. City of San Rafael Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates Fair, Isaac Office Park Project 1-5 Phase II - Scope of Work G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK May 5, 1997 b Attendance at meetings when requested. d. Hvdrologv/Drainage The scope of work has been developed to address peer review of the surface hydrology impacts, quantity and quality, associated with the project site development and the impacts to the adjacent flood control channels/creeks, specifically Mahon Creek (as prepared by CSW/Stuber Stroeh). These are the two primary hydrology issues associated with this development project; surface hydrology and flood protection. Each issue will require an independent analysis. Task 1 - This task will include a comprehensive review of previous engineering hydrology studies and drainage master plans which specifically encompass or address the site (those studies not previously provided during Phase 1). These include regional watershed studies and local drainage studies for the surrounding municipal drainage systems. Additional information to be reviewed during Phase II include historical flooding records, FEMA studies, flood hazard maps, basin -wide improvement plans, and regional flood control master plans. Peer review of cut and fill calculations as well as pre- and post-drainage calculations will be performed. Task 2 - Review Conceptual Drainage Plan, Project Hydrology Analysis and Evaluation of Impacts (prepared by CSW/Stuber Stroeh): Evaluate the technical engineering analysis of the (1) existing and (2) development condition surface hydrology for 15.1 -acre project site. The evaluation will focus on the modeling of the surface hydrology and evaluating the results for each condition. The assumptions utilized in the hydrology analysis and the rainfall -runoff modeling techniques will also be evaluated. Suggested recommendations for modifying the analysis will be provided to enhance the applicability. RBF envisions this to be an iterative process such that recommendations for modifications are made directly to CSW/Stuber Stroeh to prevent any lapses in project schedule. The results will then be evaluated to assess the surface hydrology impacts for infiltration rates, peak runoff, runoff volume, and time of concentrations. Task 3 - Drainage Constraints and Facilities Map: Review the drainage subareas and patterns based upon the (1) existing project watershed map and (2) the developed condition with the proposed local storm drain system and grading indicated on the plans or approved land use concept provided by the Project Sponsor. Review the proposed facilities and estimated sizes, and inlet surface interception locations. The existing constraints map shall be reviewed to ensure that the existing floodplain with estimated depths are identified, as well as drainage patterns, land use, and hydrologic cover. City of San Rafael Fair, Isaac Office Park Project G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates 1-6 Phase II - Scope of Work May 5, 1997 Task 4 - Proposed Drainage Impacts and Preliminary Drainage Facility Requirements: Review proposed recommendations regarding the relationship of the project to the local and regional flood control requirements. The evaluation will include review (and/or modifications if appropriate) of the surface drainage system requirements for the project site and maintenance of the regional flood protection requirements so they are compatible with the previously adopted Master Plan of Drainage. Review CSW/Stuber Stroeh preliminary estimate of the hydraulic impacts to the downstream flood control facilities and adjacent property owners, including adequacy of existing drainage facilities (e.g. culverts under roadway). Additional drainage impacts to be reviewed and evaluated for completeness/accuracy include impacts from the proposed drainage facilities onsite, urban stormwater quality concerns, sedimentation/ erosion concerns downstream, phasing, interim flood control improvements, and maintenance. Mitigation measures for drainage impacts will be reviewed, and/or modified (if appropriate). Task S - Report Preparation: Prepare an administrative draft section of the EIR summarizing the CSW Stuber Stroeh drainage assessment for the project, particularly focusing on the (1) surface hydrology, (2) runoff quantity and quality, (3) flood protection and drainage facility requirements. The report shall include a comprehensive review of the drainage constraints, offsite and onsite hydrology, flooding impacts and mitigations, flood protection requirements, and offsite drainage impacts. Transnortation/Circulation Fehr & Peers Associates, Inc. will provide transportation, circulation and parking analysis services for the proposed project. The following scope of work was developed based on current discussions with City staff, review of relevant, available background material and secondary review of this Scope of Work by the Public Works Department staff on 3/18197. Following City review and comment, the analysis has been modified to include the following: Travel Demand Forecasting: W -Trans has published preliminary reports presenting AM and PM peak hour traffic analysis. Fehr & Peers anticipates a need to update and refine this analysis as the project description evolves. Individual Intersection Analysis: The City has been using the LOS software for calculating intersection levels of service at signalized intersections. b Arterial Analysis: The City has also been performing corridor analysis using Transyt-7F along critical streets such as Second and Third Streets, and Irwin and Hetherton Streets. This analysis is critical because it will allow Fehr & Peers to assess City of San Rafael Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates Fair, Isaac Office Park Project 1-7 Phase H - Scope of Work G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK May 5, 1997 traffic impacts on a system -wide level and because consistency with the County CMP is required. They are anticipating a need to update and refine this analysis. �J Parking Analysis: Three types of parking analysis will be required for this project. First, a parking demand analysis will be required to determine if the project is providing sufficient parking supply. Second, a review of parking operations will be required to determine what types of measures will be taken to restrict parking usage to people related to Fair, Isaac, how visitors are accommodated, etc.. Third, a review of the parking circulation and access will be required. b Pedestrian Circulation Analysis: There are a number of pedestrian issues related to access from parking areas to the project site, but the most difficult pedestrian issue is likely to be safe and convenient access from the site to the Downtown Transit Center. For this study, pedestrian analysis should go beyond the typical qualitative assessment to include estimates of peak hour pedestrian flows, average wait times at signalized intersections, likelihood and expected frequency of pedestrians violating signals and/or crossing at mid -block locations. Pedestrian/Student impacts and/or issues related to access will be analyzed for students at Davidson School as well. This pedestrian demand analysis should also be input into the traffic analysis in order to assure that pedestrian flows are accurately reflected in traffic service levels. Close coordination with Golden Gate Transit and Caltrans will be maintained in preparation of this task. Fehr & Peers Associates Scope Assumptions Based on conversations with the City (3/18/97) and other involved consultants, Fehr & Peers Associates has assumed that they will be conducting the following analyses in each of the subject areas: b Travel Demand Forecasting: Either the City or W -Trans will be conducting all travel demand forecasting. The AM peak hour model will be available for use. Turning movement files (in LOS format) will be provided to Fehr & Peers Associates. b Individual Intersection Analysis: Fehr & Peers Associates will update and refine the level of service calculations using intersection traffic volumes on electronic files to be supplied by the City or W -Trans. These files will be converted to Synchro inputs and all individual intersection analysis will be conducted in Synchro. This analysis technique shall be consistent with the 1994 Highway Capacity Manual Operations methodology. City of San Rafael Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates Fair, Isaac Office Park Project 1-8 Phase II - Scope of Work G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK May 5, 1997 NOTE: 1. Based on conversations ivith City Public Works staff on 3118197, Fehr & Peers will not be using or applying Synchro to perform simulation analysis. Even though Synchro lvill produce a Traf-Netsim (a traffic network simulation program) input file, Fehr & Peers Associates will not be using dais feature because no money has been allocated for calibration and execution of Traf-Netsim model nuns. Fehr & Peers will provide the files to the City at the completion of the study and the City can perform the Traf-Netsim analysis at its o►vn discretion. 2. Fehr & Peers will be using a Highway Capacity Manual (operations analysis) equivalent for the individual intersection analysis and therefore not using the LOS software. Fehr & Peers is not responsible for discrepancies benveen current Traasyt-7 and LOS results and those produced by Synchro. They will evaluate any changes to determine if the Synchro software is functioning correctly and if its results are reasonable, but they have not budgeted for a detailed comparison of results or for calibration of the Synchro software. b Arterial Analysis: Fehr & Peers Associates will update and refine the arterial analysis using Transit -7F electronic files to be supplied by the City. Transyt-7F inputs will be converted to Synchro and all arterial analysis will be conducted within Synchro. b Congestion Management Agency Consistency Analysis: Fehr & Peers will conduct a CMP consistency analysis for roadways included on the CMP network. This will include Highway 101, Interstate 580, and Second and Third Streets. Analysis techniques similar to those applied by the Congestion Management Agency will be used to analysis CMP consistency impacts for these roadways. b Parking Analysis: Fehr & Peers Associates will conduct a parking demand analysis, review parking operations plans, and review site circulation and access issues. b Pedestrian Circulation Analysis: Fehr & Peers Associates will forecast pedestrian volumes, conduct analysis of pedestrian walking times and averaged stopped delays at intersections. We will also establish a feedback loop for pedestrian flow projections into the traffic analysis. This task includes analysis for pedestrians/students from Davidson School. City of San Rafael Fair, Isaac Office Park Project G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates 1-9 Phase II - Scope of Work May 5, 1997 Existing Conditions Analysis: Existing conditions analysis will be based on recent analysis conducted within the Downtown area and will include individual intersection operations at 35 intersections (including one unsignalized intersection) and documentation of arterial analysis for ten arterials. The number of intersections includes intersections on Third Street, Miracle Mile (due to existing signal coordination), Fourth Street and Grand Avenue. This information will be compiled, reviewed and assembled into a Setting section. Other topics to be documented in the setting section will be existing transit routes and schedules, and existing pedestrian/student and bicycle flow patterns. Impact Analysis: Up to five analysis scenarios will be analyzed as part of the EIR preparation. Fehr & Peers Associates will be responsible for providing information on the Project's trip generation to the City, and the City will be responsible for providing traffic projections for each of the scenarios. As indicated earlier, we have assumed a very automated process for this analysis with the City or W -Trans providing forecast turning movement volumes in electronic format. The City will also be providing other files necessary to calculate levels of service, so Fehr & Peers Associates' tasks will be to import volume files and parameter files into Synchro which will perform both individual intersection analysis and arterial analysis and produce files required to perform Traf-Netsim analysis. The analysis scenarios assumed for this EIR are: b Existing Plus Approved Projects without the Fair, Isaac Development (Baseline) b Existing Plus Approved Projects with the Fair, Isaac Development - 4 lanes on 2nd Street �J Cumulative without the Fair, Isaac Development (an alternative development may be included for the Project site at the City's discretion) b Cumulative with the Fair, Isaac Development b Cumulative with an Alternative Development Scenario for the Project Site (4th lane on 2nd Street would be a mitigated scenario). This analysis could address a multi -tenant, "worst- case" scenario. Additional analysis scenarios for other Project variants or with different assumptions about the roadway network can be performed on a time -and -materials basis ($2,800 per alternative scenario). Note that each of these scenarios includes 35 study intersections, 10 arterials, and five Highway 101/LS. 580 segments. City of San Rafael Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates Fair, Isaac Office Park Project 1-10 Phase II - Scope of Work G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK May 5, 1997 The 35 study intersections (including one unsignalized intersection) and 10 arterials will be assessed for AM and PM peak hour conditions for each of the analysis scenarios. In addition, Highway 101 and Interstate 580 impacts will be assessed on up to five segments in the peak direction of the AM and PM peak hours. For intersections on Second Street in the immediate vicinity of the Project and for the Second Street arterial analysis, pedestrian/student flow calculations will be integrated into the analysis and delays and travel times will be assessed for vehicles and pedestrians. The results of this analysis will be summarized in an IMPACTS section and submitted to RBF for inclusion in the environmental document. Other items to be included in this section will be parking demand assessment, a review of parking issues (operations, circulation and access), transit impacts (daily and peak hour transit projections, qualitative assessment of the impacts of additional riders on transit service, access issues), pedestrian/student impacts (street crossings, travel time and delay projections, site circulation and access) and bicycle impacts (access, circulation and parking). Mitigation: Fehr & Peers Associates will identify mitigations for Project impacts. When devising traffic mitigation, Fehr & Peers Associates will review previously recommended measures and confer with the City regarding potential mitigation. Each mitigation will be described and displayed and will have a cost estimate, identification of the entity responsible for implementation, and an identification of the year of mitigation implementation. Where necessary, on-going monitoring requirements will be identified. In addition, level of service after mitigation will be calculated for individual intersections and arterials. The results of this analysis will be documented in a mitigation section to be provided to RBF for incorporation into the EIR. Alternatives Analysis: For this work scope, Fehr & Peers has assumed that they will conduct detailed analysis of up to two project alternatives (including the No Build alternative). The modeling of Project Alternatives has been described under Task 2. Modeling for a Project Alternative would be performed by the City with volumes provided to Fehr & Peers Associates by the City for level of service analysis. Up to four alternatives can be analyzed, but the additional two alternatives would be assessed with trip generation estimates and a qualitative comparison of expected impacts relative to the Project. Alternatives will be analyzed under cumulative conditions during both the AM and PM peak hours. The results of this analysis will be documented in an alternatives section to be provided to RBF for incorporation into the EIR. City of San Rafael Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates Fair, Isaac Office Park Project 1-11 Phase II - Scope of Work G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK May 5, 1997 Meetings: For the purposes of this scope, Fehr & Peers has assumed that up to 10 meetings would be attended. These include five meetings with staff and five public meetings. They can attend additional meetings on a time -and -materials basis as needed. Air Ouality The air quality analysis will be prepared in accordance with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) CEQA Guidelines for Assessing the Air Quality Impacts of Projects and Plans, April 1996. Because of the size and magnitude of the project, a full quantitative air quality analysis is required. The air quality analysis will describe the environmental setting and both short-term construction and long-term project operation impacts. The project site is located in the Marin County Basins' climatological subregion of the Bay Area Air Basin. The environmental setting section will describe the climatological and topographic conditions of the Marin County Basins' and the current national and state pollutant attainment status. The number of violations at the San Rafael monitoring station for the pollutants monitored (ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and PMIo) will be provided for the past five years. Existing air toxic issues from contaminated soils will be summarized from Erler and Kalinowsky's analysis of on-site hazardous materials and risk assessment report. Construction impacts will address the demolition of existing onsite structures (Corporation Yard), operational and/or attendant uses and project construction, (particularly the phasing of grading activities). Both particulate emissions from earthmoving and air pollutants emitted from the construction equipment exhaust will be quantified based on emission factors provided in the BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines and equipment operations provided by the project sponsor. The disturbance to contaminated soils on-site is a critical issue that needs to be addressed in the air quality section. The soil and groundwater on the PG&E properties are known to contain elevated levels of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The approach and effectiveness of containing any air toxics will be discussed based on the hazardous materials investigations and mitigation measures developed for that section of the EIR. The necessity to implement the basic, enhanced, or optional control measures for limiting emissions of PMIo as identified by the BAAQMD will be discussed. Long-term project air quality concerns to be addressed include emissions from mobile sources, localized carbon monoxide concentrations and stationary sources (emissions generated from the proposed Office Campus). Mobile source emissions will be quantified using the URBEMIS5 program developed by the Air Resources Board. This City of San Rafael Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates Fair, Isaac Office Park Project 1-12 Phase H - Scope of Work G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK May 5, 1997 program will provide project emissions for total organic gases, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, PM10, and sulfur dioxide. Long-term carbon monoxide exposure from vehicular project emissions will be quantified using the CALINE4 model developed by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The impact on any sensitive receptors in the vicinity of the project will be evaluated. The CALINE4 model will be used to calculate 1 -hour and 8 -hour carbon monoxide emissions at up to 7 intersections for build -out of the project along with "no project" conditions. Carbon monoxide emissions will be compared to state and federal air quality standards. The parking alternatives include multiple -level parking structures that also have the potential for internal air quality impacts at the ground floor where carbon monoxide emissions would be the greatest. CALINE4 will be used to calculate worst case 1 -hour and 8 -hour carbon monoxide concentrations for the two proposed parking structures. Levels will be compared to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standard for 1 -hour concentrations and the American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists and Cal- OSHA's limit for 8 -hour concentrations. Mitigation measures will be proposed, as appropriate, if these thresholds are exceeded. Long-term operational emissions related to power plant and natural gas consumption to support the proposed office campus will be quantified based on typical emission factors. Based on the air quality impacts identified, the project's consistency with regional and local air quality plans will be discussed. Mitigation measures will be proposed to reduce impacts to less -than -significant levels where feasible. g. Noise The noise analysis will discuss applicable noise guidelines and standards and the project's short-term construction and long-term operational noise impacts. The City of San Rafael's General Plan includes noise goals and policies. Noise Policy N-1 identifies land use compatibility standards for new projects to ensure an acceptable noise level exposure. This policy and other applicable policies will be used as appropriate thresholds to determine noise impacts and whether or not additional noise mitigation measures would be necessary. Construction noise will cause a short-term impact on the surrounding properties. Noise levels will be determined from projections of noise levels produced by typical construction equipment. Noise levels at the closest noise -sensitive uses will be calculated based on noise attenuation over distance factors. Mitigation measures will be proposed for significant construction -related noise impacts. City of San Rafael Fair, Isaac Office Park Project G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates 1-13 Phase II - Scope of Work May 5, 1997 Existing and future with and without the project build -out traffic Ldn noise levels will be projected using the Federal Highway Administration Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA-RD-77-108), as modified, to reflect the California mix of vehicles. Traffic noise levels will be predicted for Second Street, Andersen Drive Extension, Lindaro Street, Lincoln Avenue, Ritter Street, and U.S. 101 in the vicinity of the project site. The noise exposure levels will be compared to the land use compatibility standards in the General Plan. Mitigation measures will be proposed to reduce any significant noise impacts. h. Public Services and Utilities RBF will contact potentially affected public service and utility agencies to identify relevant existing conditions, project impacts and recommended mitigation measures. The discussion will focus on the potential alteration of existing facilities, staffing impacts, extension or expansion of existing facilities and the increased demand on services based on the proposed land uses. RBF will evaluate the ability of the project site to receive adequate service based on City and County standards (where appropriate) and, where adequate services are not available, will identify the effects of inadequate service and recommended mitigation measures. Key public service issues to be addressed in this section of the EIR include: Public Services: b Solid Waste: Solid waste generation resulting from the proposed uses may impact landfill capacities. The analysis will establish baseline projections for solid waste, including composting and recycling for both construction and operation of the project. Project's compliance with AB 939 will also be addressed. b Fire: The overall need for Fire Services would potentially increase beyond existing conditions as a result of the project. The Fire Services review will include a review of existing services/facilities in the area, response times to the site (which includes hazardous material responses to emergencies), available fire flow, project impacts and required mitigation. b Police: The Police Service review will focus upon response times to the site, available personnel and overall protection services. Although the overall need for police protection services would increase beyond existing conditions, as a result of the project, impacts are not anticipated to be significant and adversely affect services. Mitigation incorporated into the project design, including lighting, signage and security hardware can further reduce potential crime activity. City of San Rafael Fair, Isaac Office Park Project G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates 1-14 Phase II - Scope of Work May 5. 1997 Public Utilities: The utilities analysis will be based upon the Utility Report provided by CSW/Stuber Stroeh. The report is anticipated to focus specifically on issues associated with the existing utilities, including required relocation, existing easements, disruption of services, undergrounding of utilities and construction phasing. The RBF engineering staff will conduct a peer review of the Utility Report and provide comments directly to CSW/Stuber Stroeh, as determined necessary, in order that the report may be deemed technically accurate to serve as a support document to the EIR. The Peer review will include a site review and a document consistency review of all record information to evaluate completeness of the documents provided. It is our understanding that this review will be limited to the following facilities: b Water and Sewer �> Electrical, Telephone, Cable TV and fiber optic (T-1 or ISDN) (Overhead and Underground) Gas b Existing Utility Easements (based on Title Reports or other supporting documentation) RBF will peer review the Final Constraints Analysis Map for the proposed site and provide recommendations for modifications (if necessary). Analysis will be reviewed for conformance with the City's existing master plans and standards. The review will be limited to those facilities affected by the proposed site development and included within the Existing Conditions Report and/or Utility Report. This review will also evaluate a Construction Phasing Plan to be provided by the Project Sponsor(s) for the project and its affect on the existing and proposed facilities. This task provides for a maximum of (2) submittal reviews prior to submittal of the Administrative Draft EIR. Based upon the CSW/Stuber Stroeh report and RBF's peer review, RBF will prepare the utilities section of the EIR, focusing on the following areas: City of San Rafael Fair, Isaac Office Park Project G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK Electrical: Existing facilities, project impacts, infrastructure relocation, undergrounding of overhead lines, fiber optic cables, easements and necessary mitigation. Based on the project team meeting held on 2/21/97, RBF will evaluate up to three utility routing alternatives for relocation of the 115 kV overhead transmission lines. Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates 1-15 Phase II - Scope of Work May 5, 1997 Issues to be discussed/analyzed within this subsection (and based on the approach discussed on 2/21/97), include the following: Description of section (in feet) of overhead transmission lines to be relocated; Three (3) alternative rerouting locations, including distance and general description of proposed routes; Right-of-way, easement and/or access requirements/restrictions; �J Construction Phasing; b Other potential environmental impacts associated with undergrounding transmission lines (e.g. magnetic field reduction, fluid leaks, chance of fire in buried sections, manholes, tunnels and terminations). As discussed on 2/21/97, it is assumed for the purposes of this Scope of Work that the precise terms and conditions of the proposed 115 kV utility transmission lines will be addressed in a transmission facilities relocation agreement between Village Properties, PG&E and the City of San Rafael (or appropriate parties thereof) and will not have an effect on the environmental issues of the relocation. It is also assumed that use of land within PG&E's ultimate easements or right-of-way to meet zoning requirements, such as parking area, emergency access, landscape area and/or building setbacks, is subject to the ongoing negotiations between PG&E and the Project Sponsors, provided that land uses are consistent with those described in the Project Description. Telephone: Existing facilities, project impacts, infrastructure relocated, undergrounding of overhead lines, easements and necessary. b Gas: Existing facilities, project impacts, infrastructure relocation, easements and necessary mitigation. b Other infrastructure construction -related impacts: Existing facilities (including water distribution and/or sewer lines) construction -related project impacts (including relocation of existing lines and/or provision of new distribution lines) and necessary construction -related mitigation, as might be appropriate. This task has been included based on a brief, cursory review of the CSW Stuber-Stroeh Utility Report which indicates the apparent need for extensions to the existing water mains.

Visual/Light and Glare RBF will characterize the existing aesthetic environment and visual resources, including a discussion of views within the site and views from surrounding areas to the site, particularly from the adjacent uses. Project construction impacts will be addressed based on changing on-site aesthetics visible from surrounding roadways and locations. RBF will incorporate discussion of architectural and design specifications for the Project, as provided by the respective Project Sponsor's. Mitigation measures such as perimeter landscaping, screening and setbacks will be recommended to reduce the significance of potential visual impacts. Color site photographs will be provided which will show on-site and surrounding views. This section will analyze potential view impairments (if any) to adjacent uses as a result of Project implementation. The compatibility of the Project's architectural features, height and building materials with the on-site uses and the surrounding area will be reviewed. RBF will also address potentially significant impacts generated by the introduction of light and glare associated with the development of the proposed Project. This analysis will include a light and glare impact discussion on neighboring sensitive uses from street lights, vehicle headlights, building lights, etc. RBF will review and incorporate existing City policies and guidelines regarding light and glare for inclusion within the EIR. RBF will recommend mitigation measures to reduce potential aesthetic and light and glare impacts to the maximum extent possible. Based on discussions with City staff and members of the Fair, Isaac Coordinating Committee, it is assumed that RBF will prepare computerized visual simulations of the Fair, Isaac Office Park Project. Six views will be selected, rendered and montaged according to the "Level 3" detail identified in Attachment 1 of this submittal (and as discussed during our 3/14/97 project team meeting). j. Hazardous Materials/Risk Assessment Task I - Project Coordination and Management: To coordinate with the other design team members, to manage the Phase II preparation effort, and to maintain communication with RBF. The management approach is outlined below: :41 E City of San Rafael Fair, Isaac Office Park Project G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK Attendance at (1) project meeting with RBF for scoping of EKI's Phase II.

The information obtained from the review of these documents, and the documents reviewed in Phase I, will be used when reviewing the documents in Tasks 3 and 4. Review State of California Health and Welfare Agency, Department of Health Services, Toxic Substances Control Division Consent Order 89/90-002 for the Pacific Gas and Electric Company San Rafael Service Center Site. �J Review HLA's Soil and Groundwater Investigation, Second and Lindaro Streets, San Rafael, California, letter to Jim Helfrich of Village Properties dated 28 October 1996 and HLA's document (not yet written) detailing the risks associated with the presence of benzene in groundwater samples from the PG&E property. b Review McCulley, Frick, and Gillman's Limited Phase 1 and II Environmental Site Assessment, San Rafael Shell Station and Corporation Yard, dated 25 September 1996. b Review HLA's Site Characterization Investigation, Shell Oil Company Retail Station, 755 Second Street, San Rafael, California, dated 24 June 1991, and Enviros' Quarterly Monitoring Report - First Quarter 1996, Shell Service Station, 755 Second Street, San Rafael, California, dated 23 April 1996. Task 3 - Peer Review Risk Assessment and Construction Health and Safety Plan: To peer review the risk assessment, prepared by others, for potentially exposed populations during and after construction in the Project Study Area, and the Construction Health and Safety Plan to be prepared by HLA, with respect to protection of community health and the environment and for the conformance with the Consent Order 89/90- 002. (EKG will not review the Construction Health and Safety Plan with respect to worker or occupational health and safety issues.) Peer review HLA's original risk assessment prepared in 1989 to provide perspective on the 1996 HLA Review; HLA's Review of 1989 Risk Appraisal, dated 3 July 1996; a 14 August 1990 memorandum and a 18 March 1996 letter from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease registry ("ASTDR") documenting ASTDR's review of the risk assessment; and a supplemental risk assessment currently being prepared by HLA to address benzene detected in groundwater. The peer review will include review of the approach, the exposure assumptions, and the report's findings. No new analysis will be conducted. This review does City of San Rafael Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates Fair, Isaac Office Park Project 1-18 Phase II - Scope of Work G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK May 5, 1997 not include performance of calculations by EKI to check the air dispersion modeling results or risk results. Peer review the Construction Health and Safety Plan to be prepared by HLA. It is assumed that this document will include a description of dust control measures, decontamination procedures; and on-site, perimeter, and off-site air quality monitoring and action levels specified for protection of community health. b If EKI's evaluation of the above documents identifies issues of potential concern, EKI's recommendations regarding those identified issues will be presented as either EIR mitigation measures, e.g. areas of further detailed engineering evaluation or control, or as recommendations to the project team, as appropriate. b Peer review one document to be prepared by HLA which will present the results of the three-dimensional groundwater flow model. EKI understands that the three-dimensional groundwater flow model is being developed by HLA to evaluate proposed modifications to the existing PG&E groundwater extraction and treatment system based on Fair, Isaac's planned development for the Site. Therefore, it is EKI's understanding that this document will also include the details of the proposed modifications to the existing PG&E slurry wall and groundwater extraction and treatment system (based on the results of the three-dimensional groundwater flow model. Peer review will only be conducted to ensure that the impact of the proposed project does not compromise the integrity of the existing Consent Order and/or pose a new threat to human health and safety. EKI's peer review will include a review of the key assumptions and input parameters for conformity to the Consent Order 89/90- 002, but does not include calculations to check the groundwater modeling results. EKI will peer review the proposed modifications to the Shell Station groundwater extraction and treatment system required to accommodate Fair, Isaac's planned development of the site. Peer review the Soils Management Plan to be prepared by HLA. It is assumed that this document will include general construction phase soil handling procedures, such as soil testing protocol for the use of on-site soil as fill in trenches, planter areas, and under the buildings.

Task 4 - Prepare Administrative Draft EIR Sections: To prepare the section of the Administrative Draft EIR pertaining to subsurface occurrence of chemicals of concern and the impact of the chemicals of concern on the planned development. �J Prepare draft sections of Administrative Draft EIR using technical memorandum developed in Tasks 2 and 3. Mitigation measures will be recommended as necessary to reduce or avoid significant impacts. It is assumed that this draft will include one figure. The draft will be prepared in the format provided by RBF. 5. Cumulative Impacts — Evaluate cumulative impacts in the EIR. The analysis will address known projects, either approved or proposed within, contiguous and/or adjacent to the proposed project and will be based on the land use assumptions and data included in the City's traffic model. The extent to which the project generates cumulatively significant impacts will be discussed qualitatively. The cumulative impact assessment will be based on reasonably anticipated adverse environmental impacts. Cumulative projects will be identified during the initiation of Phase II and verified with the City staff. The findings of recent court cases regarding the scope of cumulative impact discussions in EIRs will be used to ensure that this section of the EIR addresses all pertinent issues. 6. Growth Inducing Impacts -- Pursuant to §15126(g) of the State CEQA Guidelines, RBF will discuss potential growth -inducing impacts of the proposed project in the EIR. Any impediments to growth that would be removed by development of the project will be discussed. In addition, the potential for the project to result in, or facilitate other area development (particularly along the Second Street/Third Street Corridor and/or adjacent to Mahon Creek) or development of similar uses will be described. 7. Alternatives— Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126(d), RBF will provide an analysis of a "reasonable range" of alternatives, comparing environmental impacts of each alternative in each impact area to the project. For each alternative, RBF will provide a qualitative analysis of impacts to environmental resources. One important element of the Alternatives section will be an impact matrix which will offer a comparison of the varying levels of impact of each alternative being analyzed. This matrix will be prepared in a format to allow decision -makers a reference that will be easily understood, while providing a calculated (where feasible), accurate comparison of each alternative. City of San Rafael Fair, Isaac Office Park Project G:\GRP30\PDATA\650016\FAIRISAA\SCOPE.WRK Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates 1-20 Phase II - Scope of Work May 5, 1997 The alternatives section will conform to both the 1994 amendments to §15126(d) of the State CEQA Guidelines and to recent and applicable court cases. RBF will discuss as required by the State CEQA Guidelines, the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative and the reasons for rejecting or recommending the project alternatives stated. The environmentally superior alternative will be identified. A summary of the various alternatives and associated impacts will be provided as part of the EIR Executive Summary. Alternatives to be reviewed include the following: �J No Project/No Development - As required by CEQA §15126 (d)(2). This would involve leaving the project site in its current undeveloped state. No Project/Development of the Site Under the Existing Zoning Designation. This would involve development of the project site under the existing zoning designation, which would allow 600,000+ square feet of office use. Alternative Sites: In the introductory section of the alternatives analysis, RBF will reference and briefly summarize the former alternative site analysis conducted for the proposed project. This summary will focus on review of the following three development sites previously considered by the Fair, Isaac Corporation, Inc.. • Marin Ranch Airport - The site is located along Smith Ranch Road, opposite McGinnis Park. The site consists of 120 acres, of which 20 acres are buildable. • Hamilton Field - Approximately 50 acres, of which 25 are buildable acres, would be set aside to recently approved redevelopment site at the Hamilton Airfield. • San Marin Business Park - This ranch site is located north of the Fireman's Fund's San Marin Campus, off of Black John Road. Site consists of two parcels (58.14 acres and 4 acres). This summary will also address the purpose of the proposed project, incorporating the all-encompassing project objectives [as identified in the Project Description], and ultimately concluding why further evaluation of an alternative site(s) has been eliminated from further evaluation. Design Alternatives - RBF will evaluate up to two Design Alternatives. The design alternatives shall focus on project modifications which are capable of reducing and/or eliminating adverse effects resulting from the project.
