on discussions with City staff. We believe this scope of work reflects the intent of completing the
environmental review process for this Project in an efficient manner.

SAN RAFAEL AIRPORT RECREATION FACILITY
SCOPE OF WORK
TASK 1: ADDITIONAL EFFORT REQUIRED TO PREPARE DRAFT EIR
As the City is aware, the effort Lamphier-Gregory has put into preparation of the Draft EIR has
exceeded the currently approved budget by $30,048.41. As we discussed previously, Lamphier-
Gregory will absorb $11,048.41 of this amount, leaving a remainder of $19,000, which is
included in this budget amendment request. The additional work done by Lamphier Gregory for
the preparation of the Draft EIR includes the following:
Airport Hazards Safety Analysis: level of effort required to replace Mead & Hunt as
requested by the Applicant, including researching and contacting three additional firms,
reviewing additional proposals with City of San Rafael and Applicant, conducting
additional discussions with Mead & Hunt to negotiate reduction of budget, and obtaining
approval from City and Applicant for retention of Mead & Hunt based on re -negotiated
budget as compared to additionally solicited proposals.
Biological Resources: additional efforts in order to craft mitigation measures that
statutorily address all potential impacts of the Project consistent with CEQA and City
policies while providing the Applicant with a workable window within which to engage
in construction activities. Coordination between Lamphier-Gregory, the City and the
Project biologists was necessary on several occasions during the review of the
administrative draft EIR.
• Greenhouse Gas Analysis (GHG): the inclusion of the GHG analysis was not included
in original scope of work. Due to pending legislation requiring such in the future, it was
considered prudent to conduct a GHG analysis in the CEQA document based on currently
acceptable methodologies.
• Noise Analysis: The noise analysis required requests for additional information on behalf
of our noise consultant, including clarification on City noise policy and clarification of
traffic volume analysis contained in the traffic study necessary for the preparation of the
noise analysis.
• Administrative Draft Review: the City requested four rounds of administrative draft
review. Our original scope of work and budget assumed one administrative draft review
and one screen -check prior to printing the Draft EIR.
Deliverables: Lamphier-Gregory will print and distribute the public review Draft EIR pursuant to
our original scope of work.
Task 1 Cost: $19,000
