Ms. Sherri Howard
City of Carlsbad
Public Works-Engineering
1635 Faraday Avenue
Carlsbad, California 92008
Subject: Buena Vista Creek Channel Maintenance Project, City of Carlsbad,
California
Dear Ms. Howard:
Dudek understands that the City of Carlsbad (City) would like to conduct maintenance and flood
control activities within Buena Vista Creek in an area downstream of where flood control
activities are currently taking place based on the 2003 Programmatic Environmental Impact
Report (PEIR). At this time, the City would also like to implement flood control activities in
areas not previously considered in the 2003 PEIR, including areas within the coastal zone, which
is regulated by the California Coastal Commission. The 2003 PEIR covered maintenance
activities for a 10-year period, through 2013.
SCOPE OF WORK
In order for the City to perform any flood-control activities (e.g., remove vegetation) in
additional areas, coordination among multiple resource agencies is required. Since the 2003
PEIR was certified, a pair of least Bell's vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus), a federally and state-listed
endangered species, was observed in the project area during surveys for another project. Due to
the presence of this listed species, flood-control activities in this area may require additional
coordination among resource agencies and possibly additional mitigation beyond that included in
the PEIR.
In order to determine which wetlands and endangered species permits are necessary for the
current project description, and to extend the flood-control activities downstream of the current
area, Dudek proposes to meet with the appropriate resource agencies to discuss the proposed
project, existing conditions, and environmental process. Dudek will prepare materials for
meetings with the resources agencies. For budgeting purposes, it is assumed that up to three
meetings would be required, but that similar materials would be used for each meeting.
WWW.OUOIK.COH
Ms. Sherri Howard
Subject: Buena Vista Creek Channel Maintenance Project, City of Carlsbad, California
In coordination with the City, Dudek will determine the appropriate level of California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documentation required for the current project. At a
minimum, the City will be required to address the current Initial Study Environmental Checklist
Form found in the March 2010 CEQA Guidelines Appendix G. This includes updates to the
topics of agricultural resources, greenhouse gas emissions, and traffic.
Because the project could result in impacts to areas not addressed in the 2003 PEIR, including
areas within the coastal zone, it is not likely that the project would qualify for an addendum as
defined in Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines. An addendum to an adopted environmental
impact report (EIR) may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary.
Since the currently proposed project may involve new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects, a supplemental
EIR would likely be triggered per Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines. This is reinforced by
the fact that the 2003 PEIR assumed no impacts to the least Bell's vireo, which may now be
present in the creek, although avoidance during the species' breeding season would continue.
Dudek will meet once with the City, or participate in a conference call, to coordinate and discuss
the appropriate level of CEQA documentation.
Once the meetings have been completed, Dudek will provide the City with a brief letter that
describes the results of the resource agency meetings and provides a discussion of the
recommended environmental process based upon input from the resource agencies.
TOTAL COST $10,000.00
Work completed under the contract will be invoiced monthly on a time-and-materials basis, not
to exceed the total contract value. Billing rates will be according to the Dudek Standard Schedule
of Charges that prevails at the time service is rendered. Dudek's Standard Schedule of Charges
for 2011 is provided as Attachment A. Dudek will be reimbursed for all costs directly associated
with the scope of work, including, but not limited to, mileage, document reproduction, color
reproduction, global positioning system equipment usage, plan printing, and aerial photographs.
Direct costs include a 15% administration markup.
Sincerely,
5. Enright
