Typical Scope of Work and Costs

Task 1. Site Visit | Cost: $2,400 Deliverable: Site visit report with observation notes and photo catalogue. Timeline: March 2021 A site visit will be conducted to photograph and observe the three properties, including identifying any potential impacts to resources. A report will be prepared including observation notes and field photos. This is a set rate for a site visit for reconnaissance.

Task 2. CEQA Process Determination | Cost Not to Exceed: $1,500 Deliverable: Determination of CEQA process and CEQA assessment compliance needs (likely “Appendix G” with Mendocino County or CDFA). Timeline: May 2021 At this time, it is understood that the Project does not qualify for a Categorical Exclusion under CEQA. This Task will include an assessment and determination of qualification of the Project under an Attachment G. This task may include contacting the local county and/or state jurisdiction. This task will be billed on time and materials basis on a not-to-exceed cost. It is currently understood that Mendocino County has taken lead agency responsibility for CEQA permitting requirements based on recent regional discussions and a cursory review of online regulatory structure; however, it is unclear their role in the CEQA process at this time. Historically, based on self-determined limitations of the county, the CEQA lead has been projected to be elevated to the state regulatory body (California Department of Food and Agriculture). A final determination will be made in consultation with the Operator and the appropriate agencies.

Task 3. Prepare Attachment G Assessment | Cost Not to Exceed: $13,000 Deliverable: Completed Attachment G Assessment for current Project activities. Timeline: April 2021 At this time, the current project CEQA compliance will most likely fall under an Attachment G impact assessment. Under this task McGinnis and Associates will provide technical support services for the CEQA Attachment G assessment. Based on current understanding of the Project, this level of assessment is needed to determine impact significance level and whether further Environmental Assessment is needed. The Operator may take lead to draft the Appendix G assessment. This task will include review and support for language and assessment development for the Appendix G preparation for the Project. The Operator will send any applicable supporting information related to project activities and other environmental review documentation already completed to use in this assessment. All activities under this task will be billed on time and materials basis on a not-to-exceed cost. Subtask A. Kickoff Meeting This subtask is assuming that the Lead Agency will want to engage in initial discussions regarding local impacts. A kickoff meeting would include an agenda to discuss concerns regarding each resource on the Appendix G. This will assist in determining any additional effort that may be required or recommended to meet the assessment needs. Subtask B. Biological Assessment This subtask will include support for consultation with the CDFW to develop a protocol for biological assessment of the project location and potential impact. If a Biological Assessment (BA) is required to complete the initial environmental impact assessment, a subcontractor would be solicited to provide cost estimate under separate cover for this service. Subtask C. Archeological Assessment and Tribal Consultation If this task is needed, it may include a desktop assessment of historic and archeological resources. This task may include outreach to the SHPO office and outreach letters to the regionally appropriate tribal governments per SHPO input. If determined necessary, Tribal outreach may include a written letter describing the project and area of impact and would be followed by a phone call to the Tribal contact. If additional Archeological survey requirements are determined to be required based on the CEQA status assessment (Task 2) and the Kickoff Meeting (Task 3.A), a subcontractor would be solicited to provide cost estimate under separate contract for this service. Alternatively, a separate work order for Archeological Services may be required and may require a change order. Subtask D. Prepare Remaining Assessment The Operator will provide language and other pertinent documentation for technical review on a time and material basis. The assessment to resources listed on the Appendix G provided by the Operator, including any readily available information including reporting, mapping, and images and review of available regional and state documents. The final document will include a determination of impact and potential mitigation measures that may be required for any identified significant impacts to assessed resources.

Reports and Printed Materials Reports will be provided in digital format, via thumb drive or online server such as SharePoint file links. Up to two hard copies of each document will be provided upon request.

Cost Example Estimate The following cost estimate shows the not-to-exceed cost for each main Task item. In the event that a subcontractor is required for additional surveys under Subtask B and C of Task 3, the not- to-exceed estimate provided below may require a change order to accommodate current subcontractor rates related to those services. Task 2 and 3 will be invoiced on a time and material basis based on the attached 2020 Rate Sheet. The respective cost estimates are not-to-exceed amounts for activities under each task. Cost for Task 1 is for the deliverables described above and is a set cost for this activity; however, this activity is optional. Table 1. Cost Estimate

TASK DESCRIPTION COST ESTIMATE Task 1 Site Visit $ 2,400.00 Task 2 Assess Status of CEQA* $ 1,500.00 Subtask A Contact Mendocino County Task 3 Prepare Attachment G Assessment $ 13,000.00 Subtask A Kickoff Meeting Subtask B Biological Assessment Subtask C Archeological Assessment and Tribal Consultation* Subtask D Prepare Remaining Assessment Total $ 16,900.00 Future tasks may include additional CEQA assessment for possible additional uses and Project expansion. A scope of work and cost estimate may be provided upon request for these additional tasks.

McGinnis and Associates Project Examples

Seigler Creek Restoration Project Lake County, California Start: January 2015 | Total Fees: $65,000 Completion: November 2016 Seigler Creek is a tributary to Clear Lake in Lake County, California.
