Suspend all environmental and design activities on the West 19th Street Bicycle Trail Project. 2. Authorize staff work with the County of Orange on their Resource Management Plan for Talbert Nature Preserve. BACKGROUND: The City of Costa Mesa has identified the need to improve bicycle connectivity within the City and to add Class I and II bicycle facilities that link local and regional bicycle infrastructure. The West 19th Street Bicycle Trail Project was proposed as a combination of a bicycle route, lanes, and a trail to provide a bicycle and pedestrian connection along West 19th Street and the Talbert Nature Preserve between Placentia Avenue and the Santa Ana River, connecting to the Greenville -Banning Channel Trail. In 2014, the City was awarded federal Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant funds in the amount of $1,319,000, and a Bicycle Corridor Improvement (BCI) Program grant in the amount of $385,000, to implement bicycle facilities and associated improvements along W. 19th Street between Placentia Avenue and the Greenville - Banning Channel Bikeway. In July 2015, the City Council approved with a 4-0 vote a Professional Services Agreement with KOA Corporation for engineering design services for the subject project. The design is currently underway and is at 80 percent completion. The City also awarded a Professional Services Agreement to Dudek to conduct a preliminary environmental review of the project on June 20, 2016, in the amount of $49,500. On January 17, 2017, the City Council authorized an amendment to Dudek's contract for environmental services in the amount of $155,977 to conduct technical studies and prepare required environmental documents (Attachment 1). ANALYSIS: Following City Council's approval of the environmental services contract amendment, staff initiated discussions and meetings with various resource agencies. These included a site visit with several County and State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) staff, and discussions with United States Fish & Wildlife Services (USFWS). While the staff did receive comments on potential biological resources and impacts to current County mitigation areas, no red flags were raised at this time. Staff and resource agencies understood the need for incorporation of mitigation measures to address impacts that would be caused by the proposed trail during construction and operation. Dudek has initiated and completed several technical studies and is in the process of completing the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). These studies included: • Final Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) • Biological Resources Letter Report • Natural Environmental Study (Minimal Impacts) • Phase I Initial Site Assessment • Historical Properties Survey Report • Archeological Survey Report • Visual Impact Analysis However, during review of these reports by Caltrans, comments were received requiring the City to conduct new biological surveys during the upcoming nesting season to document the presence of identified endangered species. According to Caltrans this will be required by USFWS. Further discussions with USFWS revealed that these surveys are not needed as prior surveys adequately document the presence of these species. Following Caltrans review, staff and the consultant met with County staff to review technical reports, project plans, as well as Caltrans' comments. The County staff indicated that there are some new changes within the Talbert Nature Preserve that are being contemplated by the County with respect to mitigation areas. The County has several areas within Talbert Nature Preserve that are used as mitigation for other projects elsewhere in the County. Some of these areas are not functioning as intended, requiring the County to relocate to other areas in the Preserve that may impact the proposed bicycle trail alignment. The County then deferred the project consideration to USFWS. A meeting was held with USFWS on August 9, 2017, to discuss the project, comments from Caltrans, as well as to review discussions from the prior meeting with the County. According to USFWS, the project cannot be considered at this time as the County has to first prepare and complete a Resource Management Plan. The Resource Management Plan should identify all uses of Talbert Nature Preserve, including all proposed mitigation areas and trails. Preparation of such a plan could take several months followed by several months of the approval process. Minutes of this meeting are included as Attachment 2. The City and consultant were proceeding aggressively on the design and environmental documents to meet the grant deadline of June 30, 2018. This requires completion of all design and environmental approvals by December 2017. Based on recent communication from USFWS, further action on the project cannot proceed for at least one year. Therefore, staff recommends suspension of all activities on this project at this time. Staff also requests City Council's approval to work with the County on the Resource Management Plan for Talbert Nature Preserve, to advocate for City's interests on park amenities. This action will forfeit the grant funding awarded for the project. Staff requests returning the remaining $125,000 in project funding to the Capital Improvement Program account. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: One alternative would be not to approve the staff recommendation to suspend project activities. If this is selected, staff will work with the consultant team to temporarily hold on the design and environmental activities, until the completion of the Resource Management Plan. Following the completion of the plan, and if the proposed trail location is maintained by the County and USFWS, formal design and environmental documents could be completed. However, this will still result in the loss of grant funding for construction of the project and additional funding would then need to be identified. FA FISCAL REVIEW: The City has allocated a total of $390,000 in Capital Improvement funds for the environmental and design phases of the project over the past three (3) budget cycles. Approximately $125,000 remaining project funds will be returned to the Capital Improvement account. The ATP and BCI grant funds will no longer be available to the City. LEGAL REVIEW: Legal review is not required for this item. CONCLUSION: Staff had completed a substantial design and environmental review of the West 19th Street Bicycle Trail project. However, based on input from various agencies, project activities have to be delayed substantially to allow for completion of a Resource Management Plan for Talbert Nature Preserve. As this will result in the City not meeting project deadlines and given the uncertainty of the inclusion of the bicycle trail within the Resource Management Plan, staff recommends suspension of all project related activities. Staff also requests City Council approval of staff's participation in the County's Resource Management Plan preparation to advocate City's interests. RAJA SETHURAMAN Public Services Director ATTACHMENTS: 1 — January 17, 2017 Council Agenda Report 2 — Minutes of August 9, 2017 meeting with USFWS DISTRIBUTION: City Manager Assistant City Manager City Attorney City Clerk Division Staff 3 ATTACHMENT 1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: JANUARY 17, 2017 ITEM NUMBER: SUBJECT: WEST 19th STREET BICYCLE TRAIL PROJECT DATE: JANUARY 6, 2017 FROM: PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT/TRANSPORTATION SERVICES DIVISION PRESENTATION BY: RAJA SETHURAMAN, PUBLIC SERVICES DIRECTOR FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: RAJA SETHURAMAN, PUBLIC SERVICES DIRECTOR, (714) 754-5343 RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Authorize an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement for Environmental Services for the West 191h Street Bicycle Trail Project with Dudek, 605 Third Street, Encinitas, CA 92024, in the amount of $155,977. 2. Authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the Amendment. BACKGROUND: The City of Costa Mesa has identified the need to improve bicycle connectivity within the City and to add Class I and II bicycle facilities that link local and regional bicycle infrastructure. The new bicycle lanes on West 19th Street and a new multipurpose trail within Talbert Regional Park will improve bicycle connectivity between the existing bicycle lanes along Placentia Avenue and the Greenville - Banning Channel Bikeway along the Santa Ana River. In 2014, the City was awarded federal Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant funds in the amount of $1,319,000, and a Bicycle Corridor Improvement (BCI) Program grant in the amount of $385,000, to implement bicycle facilities and associated improvements along W. 19th Street between Placentia Avenue and the Greenville - Banning Channel Bikeway. The West 19th Street Bicycle Trail project will provide a combination of a bicycle route, lanes, and a trail to provide a bicycle and pedestrian connection along West 19th Street and the Talbert Nature Preserve between Placentia Avenue and the Santa Ana River, connecting to the Greenville -Banning Channel Trail. Within the Talbert Nature Preserve, the trail generally uses the Southern California Edison (SCE) easement. In July 2015, the City Council approved with a 4-0 vote a Professional Services Agreement with KOA Corporation for engineering design services for the subject project. The design is currently underway and is at 65 percent completion. The City also awarded a Professional Services Agreement to Dudek to conduct a preliminary environmental review of the project on June 20, 2016, in the amount of $49,500 (Attachment 1). ANALYSIS: Dudek completed a Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) for the West 19th Street Bicycle Trail project and submitted it to the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for their review (Attachment 2). This was conducted to meet federal funding requirements. Caltrans reviewed the document and identified technical studies that will be required to meet federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. In addition, the consultant identified additional studies to satisfy the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), other regulatory agencies, and Coastal Access Permit requirements. Attachment 3 includes the scope of services for the additional environmental services for the project. The revised scope is based on the design alternative that would have least environmental impact based on known mitigation areas and field conditions. The project alignment is included in Attachment 4. The following are some of the key tasks included in the proposed environmental review: • Preparation of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) identifying potential impacts from both construction and operation of the project and feasible mitigation measures to avoid or reduce the potential significant effects to less than a significant level. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) will be developed including monitoring team qualifications, specific monitoring activities, a reporting system, and criteria for evaluating the success of the mitigation measures; • Biological assessment to address potential impacts to federally -listed species, including facilitation of consultation with United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS); • Preparation of the Archeological Survey Report (ASR) and the Historic Properties Survey Report (HPSR) in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA); and • Coastal Development Permit processing through the California Coastal Commission. The total estimated cost for the services is $155,977. The City has appropriated $250,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund towards environmental services for the project in the Fiscal Year 2016-17 Budget. Considering the prior allocation of $49,500, approximately $200,000 is available for the study. The consultant anticipates completion of the required tasks in approximately eleven (11) months, by November 2017. The consultant's schedule is included as Attachment 5. The federal grant funding has an allocation deadline of June 30, 2018. This requires that all environmental approvals and design be completed by December 2017 to allow for submittal of construction authorization documents to Caltrans and the California Transportation Commission. The proposed consultant schedule for the environmental study assumes cooperation from various agencies and receipt of required approvals in a timely manner. There may be unknown issues that might result in delays in processing of the environmental document which could result in the City missing the funding deadline, and consequently losing the allocated federal funds. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: One alternative would be not to approve the amendment to the Professional Services Agreement. However, this alternative will result in loss of approximately $1,700,000 in grant funding for the construction of this project. FISCAL REVIEW: The City has allocated a total of $250,000 in Capital Improvement funds for the environmental phase of the project in the Fiscal Year 2016-17 Budget. The proposed cost for environmental services can be accommodated within the allocated budget. LEGAL REVIEW: The City Attorney's office will prepare the required amendment to the Professional Services Agreement based on Council authorization. CONCLUSION: Staff had initiated a preliminary environmental review of the West 19t�' Street Bicycle Trail Project. Based on the completed Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) and its subsequent review by Caltrans, the scope of a detailed environmental study was identified. The proposed services will require an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Dudek, the environmental consultant that will prepare the required studies. The scope of work requires an allocation of $155,977 and it is estimated to take eleven (11) months to complete. Staff requests City Council's authorization to proceed with this study directing the preparation of an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement and also authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the agreement.

Subsequent to the Final EIR's certification, the City has designed the project and seeks to tier off of OCSD's Final EIR. This scope of work is to reflect additional CEQA review and biology tasks to incorporate the bicycle facility project to the previously certified Final EIR. Our scope of work to prepare a CEQA Addendum and related tasks follows. SCOPE OF WORK TASK I: BIOLOGY Biological Resource Survey and Letter Report Dudek biologists will utilize biological resource mapping prepared for the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) Costa Mesa Trunk Sewer Project 06-19 (November 2013). A current field reconnaissance survey will be conduct to confirm the previous mapping of vegetation communities and jurisdictional resources. Biologists will cover the study area of the proposed bike path (assumed 50 -foot wide mapping corridor) by foot. Dudek will map vegetation communities and land covers according to the Orange County Land Cover and Habitat Classification System (Gray and Bramlet 1992). Community classifications will be selected based on site factors, descriptions, distribution, and characteristic species present within an area. Information such as dominant species and their associated cover classes, aspect, canopy height, and visible disturbance factors will be recorded on field data forms, described above. In some areas, the vegetation communities observed in the field may not match those described in Gray and Bramlet (1992). In these instances, Dudek will generate additional site-specific vegetation community or land cover classifications. Dudek biologists will map jurisdictional waters on the project site in the field, directly onto 100 -scale (I inch = 100 feet), false -color digital orthographic maps. The extent of wetland features will be determined by the location of riparian vegetation and data collected for the previous jurisdictional delineation. However, Dudek will not conduct a new formal jurisdictional delineation of waters of the United States, as it is assumed that the project will avoid jurisdictional resources. Similarly, the extent of suitable habitat for special -status species VVWW DUDEK COM Mr. Raja Sethuraman Subject Proposal to Provide Environmental Consulting Services for the 19`6 Street Bicycle Facility Project will be verified, but no focused surveys (e.g., protocol surveys for California gnatcatcher or least Bell's vireo) are proposed. It is assumed that the project will avoid direct impacts to suitable habitat for these species and the project can be constructed outside the breeding season to avoid indirect impacts during construction. Dudek will document the survey findings presented in a biological resources letter report. The report will include a discussion of the survey methodology according to the appropriate protocol and adequacy of the survevs. Vegetation communities and special -status biological resources will be described in terms of their regional significance and presence on site, including an estimate of observed special -status species' population size and condition. All biological resources observed or with potential to occur vn slLe wlul any I CaaaJnaulc potential to constrain the project will be addressed in the report. The report will include an impacts analysis impacts, and an assessment of the significance of impacts in accordance with NEPA and CEQA. Direct, indirect, and within -project cumulative effects for both short- term and long-term effects of the proposed project will be evaluated. Dudek will recommend specific avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures for impacts identified that reduce impacts to a level below significance, if possible. Proposed mitigation requirements for potential impacts to sensitive or special -status resources will be discussed in terms of regional planning, and city, state, and federal laws and guidelines to comply with all existing biological resource laws, regulations, and court precedent, including NEPA, CEQA, and MBTA. Graphics will be prepared to illustrate the location of the site, the existing biological conditions, and the proposed project impacts. All plant and wildlife species encountered and identified will be recorded to include as an appendix to the biological resources letter report. Two versions of the report are assumed under this scope of work and cost estimate; a draft report will be provided to the City, followed by a final report that address any comments from City staff. This scope of work does not include response to public or resource agency comments, attendance at resource agency meeting, or preparation of mitigation plans. The City will provide engineering drawings for the proposed impact areas for the impacts analysis section; up to two iterations of the impacts will be analyzed, additional design changes would require a scopelfee amendment. Cost estimate for this task $9,500.00 TASK 2: PREPARE CEQA ADDENDUM The City would like Dudek to prepare a CEQA Addendum to incorporate the City's bicycle facility project and impacts in relation to the OCSD certified FEIR. In order to fit within a CEQA Addendum to the OCSD 6-19 FEIR pursuant to California Government Code section 15164, the City can prepare an addendum to a previously certified FOR if some changes or additions are necessary, but where there are no substantial changes or new information of substantial importance (as described in Section 15162). The Addendum would describe changes to the project description and environmental impacts described in the FEIR. Dudek will prepare a CEQA Addendum outlining the proposed changes, pursuant to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines. The Addendum will present the minor technical changes to the Final MND. The Addendum will specify the incorporation of the bicycle facility project, and how project does not result in new significant impacts. Dudek has preliminarily reviewed the closest mapped biological resources to the DUDEK 2 May 2016 CIAO) l_�' Mr. Raja Sethuraman Subject Proposal to Provide Environmental Consulting Services for the 19' Street Bicycle Facility Project proposed trail features. The proposed trail features appear to be wholly located within the previously analyzed OCSD Force Main alignment Potential exceptions to preparing an addendum are below based on our preliminary review of the project: The proposed structural retaining wall on the slope from 191 street down to the park (presumably along Balboa Blvd.) was not specifically proposed by OCSD. Impacts would need to have occurred wholly within the same footprint as OCSD's, which they appear to do based on the map provided. The OCSD FEIR already identified construction of a facility in this alignment that would have very similar impacts and mitigation. The City can probably "self -mitigate" by doing some restoration plantings on the slope, since it's mostly disturbed, non-native species on that slope currently. Also, the proposed trail use is also different Indirect impacts of bicycle use in Talbert Park adjacent to vireo habitat could be a potential issue. The FHWA funding will likely be a sufficient nexus for Section 7, so the City should coordinate with the USFWS (Christine Medak) soon. Dudek would work with the City to make the case that indirect impacts are reduced by a more developed trail that will get regular use as opposed to the current, more isolated condition, which is more likely to attract the type of human use that is more potentially destructive because folks are hanging out longer and "hiding out" (e.g., homeless, teenagers, etc.). With regular use, human presence may be more frequent, but will more likely consist of brief pass-throughs. The City/Dudek would need to present an argument why no mitigation measures are required. We assume we would focus on biology and cultural resources in the addendum, with lesser write-ups on the remaining CEQA topics. The addendum take approximately 3 weeks after the biology survey and report are completed. This scope of work assumes that Dudek would prepare the CEQA Addendum, submit to the City for review, and then Dudek will incorporate revisions. This scope of work and cost estimate assumes the need for up to four graphics. We assume the main body of document would be no longer than 15 pages in length. We assume the Addendum will be filed at the City and that posting at County Clerk's office is not required. One meeting is included in this scope and cost. Cost estimate for this task $12,500.00 TASK 3: NEPA COMPLIANCE We understand FHWA funding is involved, and hence NEPA is triggered, to be coordinated through Caltrans. We assume preparation of a Categorical Exclusion (CE) with Technical Studies would suffice. The OCSD biology and cultural technical reports would be used to support the CE, along with the newer biology memo described above. We assume no other technical studies would be needed, although that is decided entirely by Caltrans. The cost and schedule is difficult to predict, but assuming Caltrans agrees with the above, the CE would be signed after the addendum is filed, and would take anywhere from 3 months to a year; we assume a 6 -month duration. Cost estimate for this task $10,000.00 DUDEK 3 May 2016 Mr. Raja Sethuramon Subject Proposal to Provide Environmental Consulting Services for the 19' Street Bicycle Facility Project TASK 4: ADDITIONAL STUDIES Additional Studies as requested by Caltrans for NEPA, as -needed Section 7 coordination with USFWS, and coastal permitting support are included in this task, as requested by the City. The scope for the Section 7 effort is described below. Section 7 Consultation — US Fish and Wildlife Service Dudek understands that the Droiect may receive federal funding from the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) and is located within the Central and Coastal Orange County Natural Communities Conservation Plan/Habitat Conservation Plan (NCCP/HCP) Reserve. The portion of the NCCP/HCP Reserve that the project intersects is owned by the County of Orange and operated by Orange County Parks (OC Parks). The County of Orange is a "participating landowner" under the NCCP/HCP; the City is considered a "non- participating landowner." Uses within the Reserve are subject to the NCCP/HCP and the associated Implementing Agreement and Environmental Impact Report/Study (EIR/EIS). The NCCP/HCP provides coverage for incidental take to multiple species and habitats regulated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). It is assumed that FHWA will be required to consult with the USFWS, pursuant to Section 7 of the federal Endangered Species Act. It is assumed that the consultation will be "informal" (i.e., a Biological Opinion does not need to be issued by USFWS). The Biological Resources Letter Report prepared for the project will include a summary evaluation of the project's conformance with the NCCP/HCP. This information should be sufficient for FHWA to determine if they will initiate consultation with USFWS. Dudek will provide as - needed additional documentation and/or attend meetings to provide FHWA and the USFWS with the necessary information to complete the informal Section 7 consultation, up to approximately 30 staff hours. As an example, this number of staff hours could be utilized for senior biological staff to attend up to three meeting and provide up to two summary memos of discussion items, utilizing existing data (i.e., no additional surveys). Cost estimate for this subtask $5,200.00 Other Studies and Support Dudek has allotted up to $12,300 to prepare any other technical studies required by Caltrans or the City, and to provide support for coastal permitting. It is understood that for full coastal development permitting support, additional scope is necessary, Cost estimate for this subtask: $12,300.00 Cost estimate for this task: $17,500.00 DUDEK 4 May 2016 f ��� Mr. Raja Sethuroman Subject Proposal to Provide Environmental Consulting Services for the 19`x' Street Bicycle Facility Project Summing up these tasks, we request a budget in the amount of $49,500.00.

This local Greenville - Banning trail connects to the County of Orange—maintained Santa Ana River Multipurpose Trail near Fairview Park. Within 2 miles of this location, people traveling the Santa Ana River Multipurpose Trail can reach Pacific Coast Highway and recreational opportunities at the Pacific Ocean to the south or large areas of employment such as the Harbor Business Center to the north. Currently, there are no bicycle connections through Talbert Regional Park connecting the Santa Ana River Multipurpose Trail to West 19th Street. The nearest bicycle connection to the river trail is a heavily traveled, high-speed, multilane highway located off of Victoria Street to the north. Purpose The main purpose of this proposed West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project (project) is to fill a transportation gap for Westside residents by connecting local City bike lanes to the local Santa Ana River Multipurpose Trail, and thereby, connecting to the regional Santa Ana River Multipurpose Trail, reducing travel time for bicyclists. Additionally, that portion of the Trail through Talbert Regional Park would be of sufficient width to provide a direct paved pedestrian access connecting the residential area and sidewalks east of the Park to the multipurpose trail along the Santa Ana River as an alternative to the existing natural meandering trails within the Park. 1.2 Project Location and Limits, and Proposed Facilities The project area is located primarily within Talbert Regional Park and Canyon Park, in the Cities of Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, and Huntington Beach, California (Figures 1, 2, and 3). The project area extends into residential neighborhoods adjacent to Canyon Park in the Cities of Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. The project includes the development of final design plans for the installation of the new bicycle facilities along West 19th Street and within Talbert Regional Park (Figures 1, 2, and 3). The portion of the proposed project within Talbert Regional Park would construct a new paved 9786 D U D E K 1 January 2017 West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project Attachment to PES Form multipurpose trail approximately 2,900 feet long connecting the Greenville -Banning trail with West 19th Street at Balboa Boulevard. This portion, Segment 1, was originally envisioned to run generally due east -west along the alignment of an existing Southern California Edison (SCE) utility easement and natural trail within Talbert Regional Park. The project would continue on West 19th Street from Balboa Boulevard to Whittier Avenue as a separated Class I bike trail, Segment 2a, within the existing right-of-way of West 19th Street. East of Whittier Avenue, the proposed trail would transition to a striped and signed on -road Class III bike lane/route, Segment 2b, to Placentia Avenue, for a length of 2,600 feet. The total proposed length of the Droiect is approximately 6,900 feet with 4,250 feet of Class I/Multipurpose trail and 2,650 feet of Class II/III bike lanes. See Appendix A for the engineering drawings. During the Preliminary Design phase, a variety of conceptual trail alignments through Talbert Regional Park were examined. In order to avoid environmentally sensitive wetlands near the terminus of West 19th Street, the east -west trail alignment extending straight westerly from the West 19th Street/Balboa Boulevard intersection incorporating a bridge over existing wetlands was deleted from further consideration in lieu of an alternative trail which proceeds northerly of the intersection along Balboa Boulevard before making a `U-turn' and following an existing dirt trail within the Park around the wetlands area and connecting with the existing Edison easement trail along the southern Park boundary. The intent of the engineering for the preliminary alignment is to meet Caltrans' bicycle trail design standards as much as possible. Exceptions may be made to avoid certain environmental impacts. Alternative bicycle trail alignments for the portion of the project between Balboa Boulevard and Placentia Avenue have also been examined during the Preliminary Design phase. The preferred alignment currently consists of a Class III on -road, shared bike route between the end of the Class I/Multipurpose trail and Placentia Avenue. Public meetings would be held to discuss the preferred alignment and the various alignment alternatives considered and request public input before beginning the Final Design phase. 1.3 Construction Activities The City's proposed West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project would construct a multipurpose trail through Talbert Regional Park connecting the existing City maintained local multipurpose trail along the east levee of the Santa Ana River to West 19th Street and construct on -road Class II bike lanes on 19th Street connecting the new trail to existing bike lanes on Placentia Avenue within the City. The City plans to construct a 10 -foot -wide asphalt concrete paved trail generally along the alignment of an existing utility easement and natural trails with a total length of approximately 2,760 feet within the park. The project would continue the separated trail as a Class I bike trail for 860 feet along 19th Street between the Park and Whittier D U D E K 2 January 20186 West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project Attachment to PES Form Avenue. At Whittier Avenue, the proposed trail would transition to a striped and signed on -road Class II bike lane on both sides of 19th Street to Placentia Avenue, a length of 2,600 feet. The total proposed length of project is 6,220 feet with 3,620 feet of Class I/Multipurpose trail and 2,600 feet of Class 11 bike trail. The proposed West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project construction would take place over an approximate 5 -month period, consisting of approximately 100 working days. The number of construction personnel would be an average of 8 workers per day. The likely list of construction equipment that would be used for the West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project consist of: a backhoe, an excavator, dump trucks, a roller compactor, pickup trucks, concrete mixer delivery trucks, a concrete saw, a traffic striping painter, a concrete pumper, and a traffic striping grinder. Additionally, traffic control along West 19th Street would consist of partial to half street lane closures with traffic allowed throughout the duration of the construction. No detours along West 19th Street are anticipated to occur during construction of the proposed project. 9786 D U D E K s January 2017 5( West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project Attachment to PES Form INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 8 D U D E K 4 January 2017 West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project Attachment to PES Form 2 EXPLANATIONS TO PES QUESTIONS 1. No future construction would be necessary to fully utilize the design capabilities included in the West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project. 2. The West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project is not anticipated to result in substantial public controversy based on potential environmental effects. The project would improve bicycle and pedestrian circulation and access to the surrounding areas and trails, and would result in minimal environmental impacts during both the construction and operational phase. 3. The proposed project is a multipurpose trail project, which does not include any physical changes to an existing highway. As such, it is not considered a Type I project as defined by 23 CFR 772.5 (h). 4. There are noise sensitive residential areas and noise sensitive birds, adjacent to the project site. The anticipated construction noise levels in each city would be above the thresholds for exterior noise in or near residential development. However, all construction operations would be temporary, and conform to the cities' respective noise ordinances limiting the hours of construction (OCSD 2014). Noise that extends beyond the identified construction area has the potential to indirectly impact remaining or adjacent biological resources including noise sensitive birds. Short- term indirect impacts could include noise generated by construction equipment or infrequent future maintenance, during the breeding season. Additionally, one observed territory of special status wildlife within Talbert Regional Park, the least Bell's vireo, would be temporarily impacted during construction (OCSD 2014). Noise related to construction activities has the potential to disrupt reproductive and feeding activities. The biology report to be prepared will address potential impacts to noise -sensitive species. 5. The proposed project is located in the South Coast Air Basin, which is designated as a non -attainment area for ozone (03) and particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter equal to or less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). 6. The proposed project is exempt from the requirement of determining conformity of federal actions to state or federal implementation plans since the proposed project involves the construction of a bike trail, which is captured in the "bicycle and pedestrian facilities" exempt project type, as listed in 40 CFR 93.126, Table 2. 7. To be determined. 8. To be determined. DUDEK 5 9786 January 2017 West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project Attachment to PES Form 9. Oil, gas, or related wells are identified in the immediate vicinity of the proposed project site in the EDR report (OCSD 2014). Additionally, according to the Department of Conservation, Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) records, there are five wells located within 100 feet of the subject property. These wells are described as inactive and plugged. Since five wells are located within 100 feet of the subject property, drilling activities during the installation of these wells may have impacted the subject property. Based on proximity to the wells, stained soil and miscellaneous oil field debris may be encountered during subsurface activities in the vicinitv of the wells. As such, there is a potential for encountering hazardous materials in the subsurface, during short-term construction of the West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project (OCSD 2014). Standard precautionary measures will be undertaken to monitor during construction. 10. During construction activities, there would be a potential for short-term erosion and discharge of pollutants into surface water bodies, especially during inclement weather. Indirect impacts to water quality could occur as a result of potential erosion and sediment transport. Per standard City construction practices a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required, which shall identify best management practices to ensure the construction and operation of the improved roadway segment would not adversely affect water quality or potentially effect water resources. 11. According to U.S. EPA Region 9 Water Program data, there are no sole source aquifers in Orange County (EPA 2016). Therefore, the project is not within a sole -source aquifer and would have no effect on such resources. 12. The project location is within the State Coastal Zone boundary located in Orange County, based on the digital State Coastal Zone map provided by the California Coastal Commission (CCC 2016). The State Coastal Zone Map is attached to the PES, as Appendix B. 13. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Map, the project site is not located within the 100 -year flood hazard area (FEMA 2009; Appendix C, FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map). 14. No Wild and Scenic Rivers, as identified by the National Wild and Scenic River System, are located in the vicinity of the project (USFW 2015). 15. There is a potential for federally listed, threatened, and endangered species to occur adjacent to the construction area (Dudek 2016). However, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service—designated critical habitat and/or essential fish habitat occur within the construction area. Potential permanent and temporary impacts would occur to one special -status plant species present within the proposed project area: southern tarplant DUDEK 6 9786 January 2017 54 West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project Attachment to PES Form (Centromadia parryi ssp. australis). Additionally, coastal California gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica californica), least Bell's vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus), and the following 11 special -status wildlife species were observed in the study area during the wildlife surveys: Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperii), osprey (Pandion haliaetus), yellow -breasted chat (kteria virens), yellow warbler (Setophaga petechia), Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin), Nuttall's woodpecker (Picoides nuttallii), white- tailed kite (Elanus leucurus), California least tern (Sternula antillarum browni), black skimmer (Rynchops niger), double -crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus), and the California brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis californicus) (Dudek 2016). The biology study will address potential impacts and any necessary mitigation measures. 16. The study area supports suitable habitat for migratory bird species. The federally and state endangered least Bell's vireo has been detected within the study area and continues to have the potential to nest along the proposed multipurpose trail alignment. Construction of the multipurpose trail may result in direct impacts to occupied least Bell's vireo habitat. However, nesting migratory birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and California Fish and Game Code, Section 3500, and compliance with these regulations is required. The biology study will address potential impacts and any necessary mitigation measures. 17. The proposed project area supports jurisdictional wetlands and waters of the United States within the project study area (Dudek 2016). The proposed project area supports several jurisdictional features, including riparian habitat within Talbert Regional Park and the adjacent Santa Ana River. Project -related activities are not expected to directly impact the Santa Ana River. However, the proposed project would result in a minimal amount of direct permanent and temporary impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and waters. The biology study will address proposed impacts and any necessary mitigation measures. 18. Wetlands identified for agricultural uses are not present within the construction area, and thus, agricultural wetlands would not be affected by the proposed project. 19. Ground disturbance resulting from maintenance activities often promotes invasion from invasive weedy annual and perennial vegetation that can outcompete native species. However, these disturbances would not result in significant impacts with implementation of the proposed project design features and standard best management practices (which include weed abatement measures) during construction. 20. The proposed multipurpose trail would run through the publicly owned Talbert Regional Park. Therefore, there is a publicly owned park within the construction area. DUDEK 7 9786 January 2017 55 West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project Attachment to PES Form 21. No Section 6(f) Land and Water Conservation Fund Act funds were involved in the acquisition or improvement of any properties in the vicinity of the project. 22. The West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project is near scenic vistas designated by local jurisdictions; therefore, views of construction activities associated with the proposed project may be available from designated stationary and mobile scenic vistas. Additionally, scenic vistas in the vicinity of Talbert Regional Park, as well as the general visibility of the park from the designated vistas, have the potential to be temporarily affected during construction activities (OCSD 2014). However, the project would involve construction and use of a trail in an area where informal trails already exist, and thus impacts are not anticipated to be adverse. According to the results of the Questionnaire to Determine Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) Level prepared for this project (Appendix D), the project received a score of 13, and therefore the project is anticipated to have negligible visual changes to the environment. Therefore, a Technical Memorandum will be prepared to assess visual impacts. 23. The West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project would not require the relocation of residential or business properties. The project site would run through West 19th Street and Talbert Regional Park. However, the residential properties near the project site would not need to be relocated as a result of the project, as all construction would take place within the project alignment. 24. The West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project would not require any right of ways or partial/full takes. 25. The City of Costa Mesa General Plan Zoning Map designates the proposed project site for Institutional and Recreational (I&R; City of Costa Mesa 2015), and the proposed project would be recreational and for public use. Therefore the proposed project is consistent with plans and goals adopted by the community. 26. The West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project would not permanently divide or disrupt any neighborhoods or communities, as the project would create a publicly accessible multipurpose trail in an undeveloped portion of Talbert Regional Park, and along West 19th Street to Placentia Avenue. 27. The West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project would benefit the community as a whole by improving circulation and access to the surrounding land uses. The project consists of a publicly accessible multipurpose trail that would be used equally by the community, and therefore, would not disproportionately affect low-income and minority populations. 97 D U D E K 8 January 201867 West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project Attachment to PES Form 28. There are several public utilities located along West 19th Street, such as fire hydrants and electrical boxes. However, the project would take place within the existing roadways and Talbert Regional Park, and thus, no public utilities would need to be relocated as part of the proposed project. 29. The West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project would consist of partial to half street lane closures with traffic allowed throughout the duration of the construction. No detours along West 19th Street are anticipated to occur during construction of the proposed project. The proposed project will ensure access is available to residences and businesses throughout the duration of construction activities. 30. The West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project would not result in a new connection to mainline freeway lanes; addition of entrance or exit ramps that complete basic existing interchange; major reconstruction where existing interchanges are being modified and/or dislocated ramps are being added or deleted; or removal of existing connection points. Therefore, the proposed roadway improvement would not result in changes in access control to the State Highway System. 31. The West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project would not involve the use of a temporary road during construction of the proposed project. 32. The precise amount of parking loss is still to be determined; however, it is known that some informal parking spaces would be lost along West 19th Street during construction of the Bike Path project. The extent of any temporary or permanent reduction in available parking at adjacent residences would be determined when the project design is complete. 33. The entirety of the project would take place on West 19th Street and through Talbert Regional Park, which are owned by the Cities of Costa Mesa/Newport Beach and Orange County, respectively. Therefore, the project construction would not encroach on any state or federal lands. 34. According to the Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, there is no designated or existing farmland in the vicinity of the project (CDC 2016). According to the City of Costa Mesa General Plan, the project alignment is designated as Public/Institutional and low-density residential. Therefore, the project would not convert any farmland to a different use or impact any farmlands. 35. Caltrans PQS to answer this Question. The SCCIC records search conducted as part of the OCSD EIR indicated that a total of 35 previous cultural resources surveys have been performed and three archaeological sites have been identified within one-half mile of the project area (CA -ORA -839, CA - 9786 D U D E K 9 January 2017 West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project Attachment to PES Form ORA -845, and CA -ORA -906). However, no prehistoric archaeological sites are recorded within the APE. Since none of the sites are located within the APE, none of them would be directly impacted as a result of the proposed project. Additionally, there are no known historical resources within the APE. According to the County of Orange General Plan, Figure VI -9 (County of Orange 2005), the project area is not designated as a general area of sensitivity for paleontological resources. Additionally, the APE is underlain by fills and by younger alluvium, which is not conducive for bearing fossils. 36. There are no tribal lands adjacent to the project alignment (OCSD 2014). However, as part of the Archaeological Survey Report prepared for the OCSD EIR project, a search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Land File was conducted to determine the location of any sacred and/or burial sites that could be affected by the proposed undertaking. The report concluded that no known Native American heritage resources are located within the project area.

Revised Contract Amendment Authorization Request for the West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project Dear Raja, Dudek is submitting this contract amendment authorization (CAA) request for environmental consulting services for the West 19`h Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project (project). This letter identifies various out of scope tasks associated with this project, resulting from the California Department of Transportation's (Caltrans) review of the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES). Caltrans has requested that as part of the NEPA process, we prepare technical studies and analyses not previously assumed in Dudek's original scope of work. Additionally, this CAA provides additional tasks related to Coastal Development Permitting as well as Jurisdictional Wetlands/Waters Permitting tasks. This letter is an update to the November 29, 2016 CAA request. SCOPE OF WORK TASK I: PREPARE CEQA MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION Originally, a CEQA Addendum was assumed to be the appropriate level of CEQA documentation for the project. Based on recent discussions, the City asked Dudek to prepare a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) instead of an Addendum. Task I a. Preparation of Screencheck and Draft MNDs Dudek will prepare the MND in conformance with the criteria, standards, and provisions of CEQA including CEQA Guidelines, Section 15063 (Public Resources Code 21080). Dudek will provide the City with a Draft and Final MND, including reasons supporting each checklist answer, as well as applicable references and exhibits as necessary. The MND will include explanations of environmental responses, a project description, and an environmental evaluation. The MND will identify potential impacts from both construction and operation of the project, including all impacts that could potentially be considered significant. Dudek will identify all feasible measures to avoid or reduce potentially significant effects to a less than significant level. The MND will contain text and graphics fully describing the proposed project, based on the site plans provided by KOA. Information from all technical studies prepared for the project will be incorporated into the Draft MND in order to fully describe and provide evaluation of the environmental impact areas. During document preparation, the project description will be detailed in the MND. The MND will address those impacts that could potentially be considered significant without mitigation. We assume we would focus on biology in the document, with lesser write-ups on the remaining CEQA topics. Mr. Raja Sethuramon Subject: Contract Amendment Authorization Request for the West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project Dudek will prepare up to two screencheck drafts of the MND for review by City staff. Dudek will circulate the document for the mandatory 30 -day public review period. Dudek will also prepare the Notice of Completion and Notice of Availability, which will accompany the public review documents. We assume that up to five (5) hardcopies of all screencheck versions of the MND will be provided. This budget also includes coordination involved with the realignment of the trail in October and November 2016 and associated revisions to the MND. Task l IS. Preparation of Final MND and Related Tasks Once the 30 -day public comment period on the Draft MND is completed, Dudek will review all public comments, provide response to comments, and prepare revisions to the Draft MND text, if necessary. For purposes of cost estimation in this proposal, it is assumed that Dudek will respond to up to twenty-five (25) public comments from all letters (note that a single letter may contain multiple comments) received on the Draft MND, since the project is not considered controversial. Dudek assumes that the comments received related to any technical items prepared by other team members will be addressed by the appropriate individual and provided to Dudek for incorporation into the Final MND document. The final Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) will be developed at the Final MND stage, and will include monitoring team qualifications, specific monitoring activities, a reporting system, and criteria for evaluating the success of the mitigation measures. Mitigation measures contained in the MND will be developed in consideration of future monitoring requirements and will be written in sufficient detail to address impacts of all phases of project development, referencing the appropriate implementing permits such as grading permits, final maps, and landscape plans. The Final MND will include the comment letters, the final response to comments, a Final MND preface, and, if applicable, a discussion of edits made to the MND as a result of public review. Once City staff has provided comments, Dudek will incorporate them into the Final MND. Dudek will prepare one screencheck draft of the Final MND for review by the City. This task does not include fees for publication of notices in local newspapers or Notice of Determination filing fees.Cost estimate for this task: $20,455 Assumptions • All MND processing shall be completed by the City. Processing includes sending of notices and documents to public entities and citizens and handling all comment letters. The City shall also be responsible for all filing fees. • The City shall post the Notice of Intent and Notice of Determination at the County Clerk's office • Dudek will not be required to prepare or provide technical reports other than those specifically outlined in this proposal unless under a scope/cost amendment.

DUDEK 2 December 2016 Mr. Raja Sethuraman Subject: Contract Amendment Authorization Request for the West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project TASK 2: PREPARE AND PROCESS NEPA CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION In the original scope of work, Task 3, NEPA Compliance, set aside budget for a Categorical Exclusion and additional technical studies. This budget was used to prepare the Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) checklist pursuant to the instructions outlined in the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual, Exhibit 6- B, which was not included in the original scope of work. This additional budget would be used to prepare and process a Categorical Exclusion (CE) as well as to revise the PES checklist to incorporate the realignment of the trail. The CE would conform to requirements of the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual. A draft and final document would be prepared. Once the draft document is circulated and approved, the final document would be prepared for appropriate signatures. Cost estimate for this task: $7,020 TASK 3: INITIAL SITE ASSESSMENT (ISA) An Initial Site Assessment (ISA) checklist will be prepared to identify potential hazardous waste involvement within or adjacent to the site. The ISA checklist will be prepared in accordance with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) guidance. The ISA checklist will be prepared by or under the supervision of a Professional Engineer licensed in California. The ISA checklist will reference an ISA report, to be included as an attachment to the checklist. The ISA report will include a review of regulatory records to see if there are currently, or were previously, any reports of hazardous materials contamination or usage at the site or contamination at other sites within the search radius. The database search radius will be in accordance with ASTM Standard E 1527-13. The ISA report will also include a review of appropriate regional regulatory agency files, a review of historical aerial photographs and topographic maps, a review of available Sanborn fire insurance maps and City Directory listings, and a site inspection. The findings of the investigation will be summarized in a Phase I ISA report and checklist. If the findings of the ISA report indicate a potential impact of hazardous wastes or materials on the subject property, the report will also contain recommendations for further work related to sampling, mitigation, and/or human health risk analyses. Dudek assumes that a Caltrans Hazardous Materials Disclosure Document form will not be required at this time. Cost estimate for this task: $13,995 TASK 4: BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT, NATURAL ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY FOR MINIMAL IMPACTS, AND WETLAND DELINEATION AND ASSESSMENT Task 4a. Biological Assessment The state- and federally -listed as endangered least Bell's vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus) was identified in riparian vegetation within the study area during focused surveys conducted in 2012. A pair of least Bell's vireo were documented in the central portion of the study area moving between the study area and into the property adjacent to the southern boundary of the project site. A total of 1.17 acres of occupied habitat for the DUDEK 3 December 2016 Mr. Raja Sethuraman Subject: Contract Amendment Authorization Request for the West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail species occurs within the study area. Therefore, consultation with USFWS under Section 7 will be initiated by the City in cooperation with Caltrans for potential impacts to the least Bell's vireo. Dudek will facilitate the Section 7 consultation by preparing a Biological Assessment to determine the potential for the project to adversely affect the federally -listed species. The Biological Assessment will be prepared consistent with the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference, Volume II for the preparation of a Biological Assessment and will include the following elements: 1) an introduction, including the purpose of the document and proposed action; 2) the project description; 3) a description of the action area, including delineating the geographic area that will be affected; 4) the species or critical habitat that may be present and the status and trend of the species; 5) an effects analysis; 6) a list of proposed avoidance, minimization, mitigation, Best Management Practices (BMPs), and Conservation Measures; 7) conclusions and determination of effects for each resource; 8) a discussion of consultation history; 9) the literature cited; and 10) a list of contacts made and preparers. For budgeting purposes, it is assumed the primary issues that need to be addressed in the Biological Assessment include potential adverse impacts to occupied habitat, and the avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures proposed to reduce impacts to critical habitat. Task Assumption: • A cost estimate for revisions necessitated by the resource agencies (i.e., USFWS) is not included in this cost estimate. • This cost estimate includes two (2) rounds of revisions based upon review by Caltrans and the necessary coordination with Caltrans to finalize the document. • Dudek will provide up to five (5) hardcopies of the Biological Assessment for each round of Caltrans and the City's review. Task 41b. Natural Environmental Study - Minimal Impacts Dudek will review and incorporate initial comments received from Caltrans on the previously prepared Biological Resources Assessment. A separate biological study will be prepared following a Caltrans reporting guidelines. A Natural Environment Study — Minimal Impacts (NESMI) report will be prepared that incorporates the previous investigation's findings. No additional field surveys or analyses are anticipated to support preparation of the NESMI. Additionally, this task includes two rounds of review and comment by Caltrans. A wetland delineation has been performed as part of the Biological Resources Assessment for this project. The results will be summarized in the NESMI. The PES form does not specify if a stand-alone report is required for the wetland delineation assessment. If this is a requirement, Dudek will prepare a cost and fee for a stand-alone report. Cost estimate for this task: $20,215 DUDEK 4 December 2016 gD) Mr. Raja Sethuroman Subject: Contract Amendment Authorization Request for the West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project TASK 5: SECTION 4(F) DE MINIMI$ FINDING The proposed multipurpose trail would run through the publicly owned Talbert Regional Park. Dudek will prepare a technical memorandum, which demonstrates a Section 4(f) de Minimis finding and summarizes the following: • Applicability of Section 4(f) to the park, recreation, refuge or historic property proposed to be used by the project. • A description of the use of the 4(f) property. • An explanation of why the use is de minimis. • Records of public involvement, or Section 106 consultation. • Any avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation, measures that were relied upon to make the de minimis finding. • Results of coordination with the official with jurisdiction including the written concurrence from official with jurisdiction. Dudek will respond to two rounds of comments from Caltrans and will make necessary revisions to the memo stemming from comments. Cost estimate for this task: $3,700 TASK 6: VISUAL TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM Dudek has completed Caltrans' Questionnaire to Determine Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) Level for the project. Based on the calculated VIA level score, a brief memorandum is the appropriate level of VIA to prepare for the project. As such and in accordance with Caltrans' guidelines, Dudek will prepare a VIA memorandum that will briefly describe the proposed project and the existing character and quality of the proposed trail alignment and surrounding area, the anticipated sensitivities of affected viewer groups, and the extent and degree of proposed changes to the visual environment resulting from the introduction of the project. In addition to a discussion of anticipated short-term visual alterations during construction, the VIA memorandum will include a comparison of pre- and post -project visual character that will be used to analyze long-term effects on visual resources within the project area. Task Assumption: • A site visit will be required to inventory the existing visual character and quality of the project site and surrounding area and to take photographs to support the narrative. • Detailed construction drawings will be provided by the City for review and analysis. The plans should depict, at a minimum, the alignment and extents of the new trail, trail surface materials, striping, signage, and other features or amenities that may be incorporated into the project. • Preparation of visual simulations is not included in this scope of work and cost. • Dudek will respond to two rounds of comments from Caltrans and will make necessary revisions to the memo stemming from comments. Cost estimate for this task: $4,482 DUDEK 5 December 2016 I Mr. Raja Sethuraman Subject: Contract Amendment Authorization Request for the West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project TASK 7: ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORT (ASR) AND HISTORIC PROPERTIES SURVEY REPORT (HPSR) The following cultural resources scope of work is designed to obtain the necessary project approvals in consideration of impacts to historical resources under CEQA and effects to historic properties under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Area of Potential Effects (APE) Map: In consideration of the finalized project description/project plans, Dudek will work closely with the City and Caltrans to develop the project's cultural resources APE map. The APE will encompass all geographic areas in which the proposed undertaking has the potential to directly or indirectly affect the character or use of historic nronerties (36 CFR 800,16fd1). In addition to areas where construction activities are expected to occur, the APE map will consider construction staging areas, temporary construction easements, utility relocation, and any other activity that has the potential to affect historic properties. The direct APE will encompass the area of archaeological study where ground disturbances are expected to occur and will include any historic built environment resources (i.e., buildings, structures, and objects) that will be directly affected by proposed project activities. The APE will be defined in accordance with the guidance provided in the most current version of Volume 2 of Caltrans' Standard Environmental Reference (SER), Chapter 4: Cultural Resources Identification. Records Search Update: Upon receipt of a signed APE map, Dudek will initiate a California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) records search of the project direct APE and a one -mile radius at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC), which houses cultural resource records for Orange County. As a cost saving measure, Dudek will update the existing records search completed for the adjacently located Orange County Sanitation District Costa Mesa Trunk Sewer Project. Native American Coordination: Dudek will contact the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for a review of their Sacred Lands File. The NAHC will determine if any NAHC-listed Native American sacred lands are located within or adjacent to the project APE. In addition, the NAHC will provide a list of Native American contacts for the project who should be contacted for additional information. If instructed to do so by the City and Caltrans, Dudek will prepare and mail a letter to each of the NAHC-listed contacts, requesting that they contact us if they know of any Native American cultural resources within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Two weeks after the letters have been mailed Dudek will make two (2) follow-up phone calls to each NAHC-listed contact to demonstrate that good faith follow-up efforts have been made. The proposed project is also subject to compliance with Assembly Bill (AB) 52, which requires lead agencies to provide tribes (who have requested notification) with early notification of the proposed project and, if requested, consultation to inform the CEQA process with respect to tribal cultural resources. While AB 52 is a government -to -government process between the CEQA lead agency and California Native American Tribes, Dudek will assist the City with the notification process and responding to any comment letters (if requested). No in-person meetings or follow-up phone calls with Native American groups are included in this scope of work. Cultural Resources Survey: Upon approval of the APE map and receipt of the records search results, Dudek will conduct a pedestrian survey of the project APE for historic properties (including both prehistoric and historic archaeological resources and historic built environment resources). An intensive pedestrian survey will be completed for all accessible portions of the project area (excluding portions of the direct APE that fall within the street), utilizing transects only where it makes sense to do so. Identified resources will be DUDEK 6 December 2016 Mr. Raja Sethuramon Subject: Contract Amendment Authorization Request for the West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project mapped using iPad technology with close -scale field maps, aerial photographs, and georeferenced PDF maps of the APE. Caltrans Documentation: All documents will be prepared in accordance with Caltrans' most recent edition of the Standard Environmental Reference, Volume II, Cultural Resources. Archaeological Survey Report (ASR): Dudek will prepare an ASR to demonstrate that a reasonable level of effort has been made to identify archaeological properties within the project direct APE. Dudek assumes the no previously recorded archaeological resources will be identified as a result of the records search requiring updates, nor will any new archaeological resources be identified as a result of the intensive -level survey or Native American coordination. Should any resources be identified requiring recordation, or should current project plans change resulting in additional survey areas, Dudek will work with the City to augment this scope of work and costs as appropriate. The ASR will be prepared by a Dudek archaeologist who meets Caltrans PQS standards for archaeology. Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR): Upon completion of the ASR, Dudek will prepare an HPSR to serve as the overarching summary document for all Section 106 compliance efforts. The APE map and ASR will be appended to the HPSR. This scope of work includes two screencheck reviews: one from City staff and one by Caltrans District 12. Up to eight hours of revisions are budgeted for this exercise. Additional coordination with/incorporation of review comments from Caltrans beyond what is indicated is not included in the scope of work described herein. Should revisions require additional time or if additional rounds of revisions become necessary, an associated budget augment can be arranged. Cost estimate for this task: $1 1,875 TASK 8: TEAM MEETINGS AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT In our original work scope, attendance of one kick off meeting was assumed. To date, Dudek has participated in two meetings'. It is assumed that three (3) additional meetings will be required over the course of the project, in order to review/discuss the additional technical studies discussed above. It is assumed that these meetings would be the appropriate time to review/discuss responses to comments on the documents. Shawn Shamlou, and the Deputy Project Manager, Caitlin Munson, and analyst Spencer Hardy would attend these meetings. This task includes project management of the additional technical studies discussed above, communication with the client, and coordination of project team, etc. Cost estimate for this task: $9,675 These meetings include an initial kick off meeting on July 12, 2016 and a site visit meeting with the City and Caltrans on October 28, 2016. DUDEK 7 December 2016 �3 Mr. Raja Sethuramon Subject: Contract Amendment Authorization Request for the West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project TASK 9: JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS/WATERS PERMITTING Preapplication Coordination: Dudek will coordinate with the City to evaluate potential constraints to the processing regulatory permits through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) as a result of implementing the proposed project. Dudek will assist and help facilitate coordination with current landowners and managers within the study area to ensure consistency with existing land use restrictions. Specifically, Dudek anticipates discussions with the County of Orange regarding ongoing habitat restoration efforts (as compensatory mitigation for other projects) and Southern California Edison regarding ongoing .J '.1_•. .1_ _ -11- UPC[ a��u ���aintenance activities wiuun Me i aiert Reserve that may be affected by the proposed project. Dudek will prepare exhibits showing jurisdictional areas, proposed impact areas, location of existing mitigation areas, and rights-of-way. Discussions with these entities will focus on the feasibility of implementing the proposed project while ensuring compliance with existing permit conditions/restrictions, acceptable mitigation measures that need to be considered, and solutions to obtain permit compliance approval. This task includes up to two meetings, conference calls, and other communication with the City, County, and SCE necessary to facilitate the permitting process. This subtask assumes that it will take 35 person -hours to complete the subtask. Mitigation Plan for jurisdictional Wetlands/Waters Impacts: The ACOE, RWQCB, and CDFW require conceptual mitigation and monitoring plans that support the permit applications. Dudek anticipates preparing a conceptual mitigation and monitoring plan to address impacts to jurisdictional wetlands/waters in accordance with the ACOE's 2008 Final Mitigation Rule and previous guidance documents. The conceptual mitigation design will incorporate information required to demonstrate project viability and a high degree of certainty that mitigation goals will be achieved at the end of a maintenance and monitoring period. The conceptual mitigation and monitoring plan will identify mitigation sites, provide a brief description of existing and future conditions, and include maps and cross-sections that depict the proposed compensatory mitigation areas. jurisdictional Wetlands/Waters Permit Applications: The Biological Resources Report previously prepared for the project will serve to support regulatory permitting and authorization efforts. Early in the environmental review process, Dudek will discuss the potential strategies for consulting with the ACOE, RWQCB, and CDFW. Given the location of the project and Dudek's experience with regulatory permitting throughout Orange County, we recommend early consultation with the ACOE, RWQCB, and CDFW. Following the initial consultation, Dudek will compile the appropriate data and complete permit applications/notifications for the ACOE, RWQCB, and the CDFW. Due to the limited jurisdictional resources, type of project, and minimal disturbance footprint at the project site; it is assumed that the project would qualify for one of the Clean Water Act Section 404 Nationwide Permits with the ACOE. The applications will be formatted to meet each regulatory agency's specifications and sent electronically for review and approval. Regulatory Agency Coordination: Once the permit applications have been submitted, close coordination with the regulatory agencies will be critical to ensure timely acquisition of project approvals. Dudek will be available to respond to requests for additional information and act as the point -of -contact for all inquiries with the regulatory agencies. DUDEK 8 December 2016 Mr. Raja Sethuramon Subject: Contract Amendment Authorization Request for the West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project The proposed budget for this subtask is an estimate based on our ability to provide a comprehensive evaluation and complete the permitting process with the regulatory agencies. If the process becomes contentious or additional issues are identified, this subtask may expand and additional time may be required to complete the process. This subtask includes conference calls and other communication with the City and the project team necessary to facilitate the permitting process. This subtask assumes that it will take 40 person -hours to complete the task. Cost estimate for this task: $37,410 TASK 10: COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT PROCESSING The proposed project requires a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) because the project is located in the coastal zone. The project alignment within the coastal zone boundary appears to be within both the City of Costa Mesa and the City of Newport Beach. The City of Costa Mesa does not yet have a certified Local Coastal Program (LCP); therefore, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) retains coastal development permitting authority in the City's coastal zone. A CDP for the project would need to be obtained directly from the CCC. The standard of review for a CDP from the CCC is the Chapter Three resource policies of the California Coastal Act (CCA). Further, the City of Newport Beach's LCP is pending certification by the CCC in early 2017. If the City of Newport Beach's LCP becomes certified during the application process, either a consolidated CDP from the CCC, or a CDP directly from the City of Newport Beach for that part of the project falling in the City's coastal zone would be necessary. Dudek will coordinate with, strategize, and advise the project team and City about the best available options for planning and processing the CDP application materials, environmental analyses and associated technical documents, and policy findings required for the CDP submittal package. Dudek will compile available project information and prepare a detailed CCA policy consistency analysis for review and consideration by the City as part of the coastal development permit application process. To avoid timing delays associated with CDP processing, early coordination with CCC staff will be essential to discuss project description details, constraints, and feasible avoidance and minimization measures. Dudek's coastal planners will lead this effort, utilizing our existing working relationship with the South Coast District Office CCC staff and our experience and understanding of the coastal resource policy issues staff must address in their staff report findings. This effort would include the following deliverables at the request of the project team and/or City and will serve to facilitate understanding of project goals, scope, impacts, and opportunities: • Coordination of meetings and/or conferences with City and CCC staff early in the project planning process to identify potential coastal resource issues, such as biological resources, including Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas and wetlands, as well as public access considerations. • Comprehensive CDP transmittal letter and CDP application materials detailing compliance of the project with applicable CCA policies and regulations. • Coordination with the project team and any technical consultants to prepare and/or supplement existing technical studies, written materials, and correspondence to expeditiously respond to City or CCC staff direction regarding data and analysis needs. • Written correspondence in response to public comment, City and/or CCC staff comments. DUDEK 9 December 2016 �1 Mr, Raja Sethuroman Subject: Contract Amendment Authorization Request for the West 19th Street Multipurpose/Bicycle Trail Project Review and comment on staff report recommendations to ensure findings are complete and accurate, and that special conditions are reasonable, feasible, and acceptable to the City. GIS support for graphics and maps to facilitate understanding of project scope in relation to land use and coastal resource policy constraints, and to provide support for CCC staff reports and presentations. Dudek will provide an administrative draft of all CDP application deliverables to the project team for review and comment, prior to transmittal to CCC. Following CCC staffs review of the application submittal, Dudek will review any requests for additional project materials and environmental documentation. We will provide recommendations regarding revising and updating application materials to reflect project revisions, as needed, including any identified land use or resource constraints and policy requirements to facilitate the application "completeness determination" and, ultimately, to help prepare project consistency findings with applicable CCA policies for a decision -maker hearing. This scope of work assumes no more than two (2) 30 -day CDP application "completeness" review cycles will be required and that material responses will be supported by existing and/or supplemental information provided by the project team. Given the uncertainty of additional application materials and issues raised by CCC staff following application review and the extent of supplemental project materials that may be required to respond to this review, the need for a supplemental scope of work authorization may be necessary at that time. This task also assumes that Dudek's coastal planner/s will prepare for and attend up to two (2) meetings with the project team, City personnel and/or CCC staff, and participate, via conference call, in three (3) additional meetings to resolve any potential policy or procedural issues that may arise during the CDP review process. This task does not include the preparation of new or updated technical information that may be requested by CCC during their review.

The City has received grant funds from the State for this project and design has progressed sufficiently to analyze and evaluate the project's potential environmental impacts. b) The City clarified that the project is under a funding deadline for a FHWA grant (i.e., authority to construct would need to be issued in February 201$). c) The project would occur within an existing disturbed and routinely maintained right of way by Southern California Edison DUDEK 9786 August 2017 Ea Meeting Minutes Date: August 9, 2017 Subject: West 19th Street Multipurpose Bicycle Trail — Costa Mesa 3) Anticipated Permitting Process a) Project site occurs within the OC Central -Coastal NCCP/HCP and more specifically in a Habitat Reserve (Talbert Regional Park) b) County must approve uses and activities within the Habitat Reserve. However, the County does not have a Resource Management Plan for Talbert Regional Park that covers the proposed bike trail alignment. Before the USFWS can evaluate the project, the County must prepare a Resource Management Plan for Talbert Regional Park that identifies and analyzes the proposed bike trail. This is a requirement of the OC Central - Coastal NCCP/HCP. Neither a minor amendment to the NCCP/HCP nor separate ESA Section 7 permitting process would be required. c) The Resource Management Plan review and approval process is typically less than a year, approximately 6 months. d) Southern California Edison has the authorization to maintain the existing access road and may improve the road if necessary (and dependent on facility easement conditions) 4) Existing Biological Resources and Anticipated Project Impacts a) Project supports suitable habitat for coastal California gnatcatcher, but none were found during 2012 protocol survey. b) Project supports occupied habitat for least Bell's vireo. A pair was identified in the central portion of the alignment during 2012 protocol surveys. c) Project impacts to occupied vireo habitat would be approximately 0.001 acre. d) Project impacts also slightly overlap with existing, ongoing and failed mitigation sites within the Reserve. The USFWS is currently negotiating with Orange County Public Works regarding the San Diego Creek Reach 1 and 2 mitigation lands within the Reserve. Anticipate completing a new habitat restoration program by the end of October 2017. e) According to 3 non -protocol surveys conducted by the Santa Ana Watershed Association in April, May, and June 2017, least Bell's vireo have been detected at several locations north of the bike trail (see attached report and location map). Five male individuals and no pairs were detected during the surveys. USFWS provided surveyed locations of five male vireo parallel to bike trail alignment. Also, USFWS confirmed impacts to vireo would be indirect (versus direct) as a result of the proposed project. i) As compensatory mitigation, USFWS recommended closing and rehabilitating the existing, unofficial trail running north -south (of approximately the same length of the proposed bike trail) and located just north of the project though Talbert Regional Park. Anticipated mitigation acreage would be 1 acre (2,900 feet by 15 feet). Other potential mitigation could include installation of fencing (rope and post), signage to U C,C►1 K 9786 August 2017 Meeting Minutes Date: August 9, 2017 Subject: West 19th Street Multipurpose Bicycle Trail — Costa Mesa limit public access, and trapping/removal of brown -headed cowbird from the Reserve (which are known to occur). f) Also, common versatile fairy shrimp were found within a couple ponded areas along the existing dirt access roads throughout Talbert Regional Park (see attached location map and site photographs). The proposed project trail alignment ponded water for several months along a majority of its length. However, presence of listed species has not been confirmed. Because the proposed project site is an access road subject to ponding, USFWS believes that presence is possible, although there were no vernal pools identified during Dudek's 2016 survey. 5) Need for additional protocol -level surveys? a) Because presence of vireo has been established and survey efforts are on-going, protocol level surveys for vireo are not required. b) USFWS contemplated whether protocol surveys for fairy shrimp (dry and wet season) were necessary to determine if present in project area. Surveys may depend on the coverage provided in the OC Central -Coastal NCCP/HCP. Both listed shrimp species (Riverside and San Diego) are conditionally covered species within the OC Central - Coastal NCCP/HCP, but do not require focused surveys. The NCCP/HCP requires the following for "planned activities" that would affect highly disturbed/artificial vernal pool habitat: i) Develop a mitigation plan that: 1) addresses design modifications and other on-site measures that are consistent with the project's purposes, minimizes impacts, and provides appropriate protections for vernal pool habitat, 2) provides for compensatory vernal pool habitat restoration/creation at an appropriate location (which may include the Reserve or other open space) and includes relocation of potential cyst -bearing soils, and 3) provides for monitoring and adaptive management of vernal pools consistent with Chapter 5 of the NCCP/HCP. The mitigation plan will be developed in coordination with USFWS, CDFW, and the Non -Profit Reserve Management Corporation and approved by USFWS. Because vernal pool habitat in the subregion known to support other fairy shrimp species is highly degraded and/or is artificial and has been colonized by fairy shrimp, relocation is a potentially viable mitigation technique.
