Dublin Crossings Specific Plan
Scope of Work
RBF Consulting (RBF) has prepared this Scope of Work to assist the City of Dublin and the
Applicant (SunCal) in the preparation of the Dublin Crossings Specific Plan (the Specific Plan).
Purpose and Intent of the Specific Plan
The purpose of the Specific plan is to provide policy direction and guidance on how the
properties would transition from former government lands with a General Plan land use
designation of "Public Lands" into a new neighborhood with a mix of residential, commercial,
public, and open space uses. The Specific Plan would not only provide the general vision and
broad policy concepts to guide development for anew neighborhoods within the community,
but also provide the detalls on the type, location, and intensity of uses, define the capacity and
design of needed public improvements and infrastructure, and determine the resources
necessary to finance and implement the public Improvements and infrastructure needed to
support the vision.
There are several Important and distinctive features of this Specific Plan that will need to be
included in the plan or addressed during plan development:
1. The Specific Plan should incorporate policies and implementation measures to insure
the creation of a pedestrian-oriented neighborhood. The neighborhood should contain
a variety of public parks and open space connections that will provide convenient
recreational opportunities adjacent to residents and that link the various sections of the
project area to one another as well as to nearby uses.
2. The Specific Plan should be highly graphic in nature, and should illustrate key design
principles through graphics, exhibits, and photographs.
3. The Specific Plan should be consistent with the Dublin General Plan (as amended), and
specifically the Community Design and Sustainability Element. The concepts of
sustalnability should be woven throughout the plan and incorporated wherever logical
and appropriate.
4. The Specific Plan should address water conservation and water quality control.

^~{'I.~-':-';l
Dublin Crossings Specific Plan
Scope of Work
5. The Specific Plan should address how to best implement the expressed desire by the
City Council for a central park space that will be used to create a public facility which
provides a unique amenity to the City.
Project Understanding and Approach
The preparation of the Specific Plan will be an iterative process involving drafting and refining
the document based on the Applicant's project specific application as well as public input and
comment. It is intended that the Specific Plan will define a set of development policies, land
use regulations, design standards, and a funding/financing program, concisely within a slngle
document.
Preparation of the Specific Plan will require on-going collaboration and communication among
the Project Team. The Project Team will include the Applicant and their technical consultants,
City of Dublin departmental staff (primarily Community Development, Public Works &
Engineering, City Manager's Office, Parks & Community Services, Economic Development,
Police Services, and Fire Serv1ces & Prevention) and the planning and engineering sup'port
services from the RBF.
The Applicant will take the lead in developing the first draft of several plan sections. RBF's role
will be to assist the City in the review of the Applicant's work product and supplementing as
needed where the Applicant's draft does not meet or address items that have been Identified in
thIs scope of work. RBF's role will also be to:
. Integrate the various sections of the Specific Plan into a complete, cohesive document
that meets both the Government Code requirements as well as the needs of the City
and the Applicant.
. Assist the City in coordinating the development of the SpeCific Plan with the drafting of
the project EIR.
. Advise and help facilitate with the City and the Applicant in the appropriate public and
agency outreach throughout the Specific Plan processl and ensure that the public
involvement guidelines for Specific Plan development are adhered to.
. Assist the City in drafting those sections of the Specific Plan Identified as City/RBF
responslblllty below.

The land plan will be the key component of the Specific Plan. It will provide the impetus for the
regulatory framework to be developed as part of the Specific Plan. The primary goal of this
effort is to affect the. functional and economic development of the area by creating a preferred
land plan that is sensitive to market conditions, infrastructure requirements, maximizes job
opportunities relationships between land uses, existing uses, and can be readily implemented.
It will be important that the land plan Is developed in an iterative manner that allows for ample
input from city staff, the community, and elected and appointed officials. The diagram below

Dublin Crossings Specific Plan
Scope of Work
Project Assumptions
1. The City of Dublin staff will be responsible for coordination with and meeting with all
public agencies (including Responsible Agencies as defined by CEQA).
2. The cost estimate Includes meetings described in this scope' of work, Additional
meetings would be billed on a time and materials basis. Meetings identified as
"optional" will not be billed without prior approval from the City.
3. A contingency budget of 10% has been Included to address potential issues not
currently anticipated. This budget line also contains funds to cover the cost of any
meetings identified as "optlonal". These funds will not be utilized without prior
approval by the City.
4. There will be a single round of 'review and revision to both the 1st and 2nd
Administrative Draft documents prior to the Screencheck Draft. If City staff feels that
additional Administrative Draft documents are necessary, a contract amendment for
additional work may be necessary, depending on the nature and circumstances
associated with the additional changes. These changes can be characterized as being
outside of the control or knowledge of RBF and would not be considered reasonable
from the standpoint of professional standards of service and appropriate due diligence.

DUBLIN CROSSINGS SPECIFIC PLAN
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR)
SCOPE OF WORK
RBF Consulting (RBFI has prepared this Scope of Work to the City of Dublin (the City) for
preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed Dublin crossings
Specific Plan (Specific Plan).
RBF has reviewed the existing background technical reports provided by the project
applicant, which were prepared by the U.S. Army and others, to analyze the
environmental constraints at the project site. These reports are listed In Appendix A.
Task 1.1 : Project Initiation
Task 1.1 will provide RBF with clear direction and Information required to begin work on
the EIR. This task includes preparation of the Notice of Preparation (NOP), and
conducting a public scoping meeting for the p'roposed project.
Kickoff Meeting
RBF will attend a kickoff meeting with City staff and other members of the project team
to orient all parties to the proposed project and the scope of work. This meeting would
include a review of the overall schedule and the responsibilities of the various members
of the project team. RBF would obtain copies of any additional relevant documents'
and studies completed on behalf of the City or the project applicant and confirm the
project schedule with City staff and project applicant. One of the most important
activities at the meeting will be a discussion of the City's goals for the proposed project
and the project team, the roles of all consultants, and an understanding of the desired
end products. This will help ensure that all elements needed to complete the project
successfully are covered and will allow gaps to be identified and filled. We will also
review communication protocols between RBF and the City, other members of the
project team, and the project applicant.
RBF will participate in a guided group tour of the project site as part of the kickoff
meeting to document site conditions and assess potentially environmentally sensitive
areas and issues.

Scope of Work
Project Description and Notice of Preparation
Project Description
One of the most important tasks relative to the preparation of a legally defensible EIR is
the development of an accurate and adequate project description. The draft project
description for the Specific Plan, as prepared by the project applicant, will be used as
the basis for preparing the project description, as required by CEQA. This scope of work
assumes that the project applicant will be providing a set of project objectives (as
defined by CEQA) associated with the project description.
RBF will work proactively with the City and the Applicant to expedite the EIR project
schedule as fast as is practical. However, to avoid duplication of work, preparation of
the impact sectionls) of the EIR will not be initiated until the relevant technical studies
that pertain to that respective environmental resource have been completed and the
Draft Specific Plan Is deemed complete and acceptable by the City.
,
I
Notice of Preparation
Because the City has determined that the proposed project would require a project-
level EIR, RBF proposes preparation of a detailed NOP for the proposed project that
explains what environmental issues would not be addressed within the EIR (e.g. impacts
to agricultural resources and mineral resources), focusing discussion on the potentially
significant environmental affects of the proposed project (e.g. hazardous materials,
traffic, air quality, etc.). This would eliminate the need for preparing an Initial study.
The NOP will adhere to the content requirements set forth in CEQA Guidelines, induding
Information describing the proposed Specific Plan, its locotion. and probable
environmental effects. RBF will also prepare the public notices advertising the proposed
scoping meeting and will work with the City to ensure the notices (NOP and Notice of
Scoping Meetings) are published and distributed to responsible agencies and the
Office of Planning and Research (OPR). This scope of work assumes that the City would
provide payment for publication of the notice in applicable newspapers.
Comments received during the 30-day public review period for the NOP will be used to
finalize the scope of the EIR. RBF wlll review and list all comments and determine
whether any issues require a modification to the scope of services. The list of comments
received will be provided to the project team.
Public Scoping Meeting
RBF will coordinate and assist the City in conducting a public seoping meeting for the
proposed project. The proposed project would be presented at the scoping session
along with a brief overview of the probable environmental effects of the proposed
project. For budgeting purposes. this task assumes preparation for and attendance at
one scoping meeting by two staff members. Input provided by agency staff and the

public at the scoping meeting will be documented and addressed in the impact
analysis of the EIR, as appropriate. To have an effective and wide-reaching solicitation
and participation In the public scoping meeting, RBF will work with City staff to identify
relevant organizations, including environmental organizations that could have. an
Interest in the proposed project and the EIR.
Task 1.2: Administrative Draft EIR
The specific work efforts related to the environmental analysis that will be conducted in
support of the EIR are described in this section. All of this information will be included in
the Administrative Draft EIR (internal draft) for review and comment by the City.
Executive Summary
RBf will provide an Executive Summary for the EIR including summary of the project, an
overview of project impacts, mitigation, and levels of significance after mitigation,
summary of project alternatives and areas of controversy and issues to be resolved.
The Executive Summary will be presented in a tabular format. .
Introduction and Purpose
This section will identify the purpose of the EIR and statutory authority under CEQA as
well document-seoping procedures, summary of the EIR format, listing of responsible
and trustee agencies and documentation incorporated by reference.
Project Description
RBF will update the project description basec;l on NOP comments and the Draft Specific
Plan.
Environmental Analysis
Each environmental section in the EIR will include sections for existing setting, thresholds
of significance, an analysis of project-related impacts, and mitigaiion measures to
avoid Of reduce significant Impacts. To the degree possible, thresholds will be based on
the City of Dublin General Plan and the City of Dublin General Plan EIR as well as
Appendix G of the state CEQA Guidelines.
Each resource section of the EIR will include a summary of relevant City of Dublin
General Plan policies that could avoid or reduce significant environmental impacts. RBF
will ensure that thresholds of significance are acceptable to City staff before beginning
the environmental analysis.

Scope of Work
Biological Resources
The Draft Environmental Impact statement on Master Planned Development at Camp
Parks (U.S. Army 2006) and final Environmental Impact statement on Master Planned
Development at Camp Parks (U.S. Army 2009) contain background setting and an
evaluation of impacts for biological resources within the project site.
The project site is comprised primarily of, non-native grassland, riparian forest and
woodland, and wetlands. Special status plant species that have potential to occur
within the project site include Congdon's Tarplant. Northern California Black Walnut,
Palmate-bracted Bird's Beak. Special Status Wildlife Spedes that have the potential to
occur within the project site include:
. Invertebrates: Federally-listed Vernal Pool Shrimp and California Linderiella;
. Amphibians: California Red-legged Frog, California Tiger Salamander, and
Western Pond Turtle;
. Birds: Cooper's Hawk, Swainson's Hawk, Ferruginous Hawk, Golden Eagle,
. Northern Harrier, White-Tailed Hawk, Prairie Falcon, Western Burrowing Owl,
Loggerhead Shrike, and Tricolored Blackbird;
o Mammals: Pallid 8aL and San Joaquin Kit Fox.
The U.S. Army requested formal consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) In June 2006 for the Camp Parks site. According to the biological assessment
prepared by the U.S. Army, there are 329 acres of undeveloped kit fox, red-legged frog,
and tiger salamander foraging and dispersal habitat. Of the 329 acres of habitat 170.5
acres of direct effects and permanent loss of habitat were not evaluated in the
biological opinion as a result of future development that may occur after the land
exchange from the Army to the private sector. Therefore, this biological opinion only
evaluates the permanent loss of 158.5 acres of habitat as well as the direct and Indirect
effects to 329 acres to kit fox and its habitat while in ownership of the U.S. Army and
does not evaluate the loss of habitat within the project site. Consultation pursuant to
Endangered Species Act, Section 7 or Section 10 with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
may be required prior to development of the project site because of the likely loss of
habitat and potential for take of the tiger salamander. California red-legged frog, and
San Joaquin kit fox.
This scope of work assumes that the project applicant will engage Cardnb Entrix to
prepare the biological resources technical report for the proposed project. RBF assumes
that the biological technical report will identify sensitive habitats and the potential for
these special status species known to occur or with potential to occur within the project
site, as well as an evaluation of ImpaCts and mitigation m~asures. which would reduce
significant impacts to a less than significant level. RBF's biologists and regulatory

specialists will review the biological assessment and wetland delineation for technical
accuracy prior to incorporating the analysis into the EIR and will confirm mitigation
measures for any potentially significant or significant impacts identified.
Cultural Resources
The Draft Environmentallmpad Statement on Master Planned Development at Camp
Parks (U.S. Army 2006) and Final Environmental Impact Statement on Master Planned
Development at Camp Parks (U.S. Army 2010) contains the environmental setting for
cultural and historical resources within the project site. In addition, numerous
archaeological and cultural resources studies have been conducted within the Camp
Parks boundaries since 1981 and a. Cultural Resources Overview was prepared in
September 2001. These initial studies identified 30 separate cultural resources, 28 with
prehistoric components. Twenty-two were recorded as archaeological sites (Sonoma
State University, 2001). The State Historic Preservation Office dismissed 15 potential
archaeological sites due to a lack of supporting evidence.
Almost all buildings associated with the original development of the installation in the
early 1940s, and many structures constructed when the installation changed from Air
Force to Army control in 1952, have been demolished. Two surveys for buildings eligible
for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) have been conducted at the
installation. Only one structure, the original Camp Parks front gate sign at the Dougherty
Road entrance to the installation, is eligible (U.S. Army 2010).
This scope of work assumes that the project applicant will engage Cardno Entrix to
prepare an updated cultural resources technical report for the proposed project to
evaluate the potential for archaeological and historic resources within the project site.
RBF will review the project applicant's cultural resources report for technical accuracy
and wlll utilize the report to analyze whether or not the proposed project would cause a
substantial adverse change in the significance of archaeological and historical
resources within the project site or whether or not the proposed project would disturb
human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries.
Geology and Soils
This scope of work assumes that the project applicant will engage Berlogar to prepare
a preliminary geotechnical report for the proposed project.RBF assumes that the
geotechnical investigation will be complete and will evaluate the potential for
exposure to earthquake faults, seismic ground shaking, seismic ground failure including
liquefaction, and whether or not the proposed project would be located on a geologic
unit or soil that Is considered unstable.
RBF will review the geotechnical report for completeness and will prepare the Geology
and Soils section based on the analysis in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement on
Master Planned Redevelopment at Camp Porks (U.S~ Army 2006) and the findings of the

preliminary geotechnical report. The EIR will include an evaluation of the regional and
specific geology and solis constraints within the project sHe (such as erosion hazards;
compressible soils; active faults, including the adjacent Alquist Priolo fault zone; and
areas subject to subsidence) and existing topography. RBf will discuss project impacts
based on the geotechnical report including seismic hazards, landform modifications,
and wind and/or slope water erosion to the extent feasible based on geotechnical
investigation prepared by the project applicant. Mitigation measures will be included
in theEIR to address any potentially significant impacts from geology and soils. Potential
mitigation measures would include preparation of design-level geotechnical
evaluations for subsequent development within the planning area.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The project site contains former and/or existing supply buildings and warehouses,
infrastructure maintenance facilities, vehicle repair facilities, fueling points, hazardous
waste accumulation sites, office and administrative buildings, buried construction debris
deposition area, several railroad spurs, former lumber yards, and soil stockpiles.
Environmental baseline studies were conducted by the U.S. Army in April 2002, October
2003, and November 2004, respectively. An update was conducted in October 2007 to
provide additional detail regarding groundwater and soil sampling, risk assessments,
and closures performed at the site since May 2006. A final Environmental Condition of
Property (ECP) report was prepared in January 2010.
RBf understands that the major hazardous conditions of concern that exist within the
project site include the following sites. Nine sites on the properly where hazardous
substances hove been released were undergoing additional environmental
investigation and/or undergoing remedial action in May 2006 and some have since
achieved closure. Evaluation of these sites include:
,
. Former Buildina 109. Contaminants of concern include lead, antimony, arsenic,
copper, silver, and dioxins. A remedial investigation was conducted in June 2007
and the extent of buried ash and municipal waste were delineated. A feasIbility
study was completed.
. Former Buildino 132. A health risk assessment (HRA) was prepared and no risk to
human health or the environment was found.
o Former Hazardous Waste Accumulation Site. The HRA determined that no risk to
human health or the environment at the project site would occur.
o Southeastern Quadrant. Contaminants of concern include total petroleum
hydrocarbons as diesel range organics (TPH-DRO) and chromium in the soil,
mercury, vanadium, and lead in the groundwater, This site Is currently
undergoing groundwater modeling and a final data summary report was
completed in December 2007.

groundwater include benzene, toluene, ehthylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) and
TRH-DRO. Currently undergoing groundwater monitoring. Remedial acUom or an
HRA may be required.
. Asbestos. Some non-friable Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) may be present
in the. upper soil layers. Precaution measures are recommended during
construction activities to ensure proper abatement.
RBF will prepare the Hazards and Hazardous Materials section of the EIR based on a
review of the Draft Environmental Impact statement on Master Planned
Redevelopment at Camp Parks (U.S. Army 2006), Final Environmental Impact statement
on Master Planned Redevelopment at Camp Parks {U.S. Army 2009}; associated
background documents (see Appendix A) prepared for the project site, including the
ECP report prepared by the U.S. Army in 2010. RBF will also utilize the existing Phase.l
and Phase 2 environmental site assessments completed for the project site and as
provided by the project applicant. This scope of work assumes that these reports are
current and relevant for CEQA purposes and that no additional technical research or
analysis will be required.
RBF's will review these reports for technical adequacy and completeness and utilize
them as the basis for preparing the Hazards and Hazardous Materials section of the EIR.
This scope of work assumes that the Army will be responsible for cleanup of all
hazardous si)es and that all sites will be closed prior to property transfer.
In addition to potential hazardous materials located within the project site, this section
will address potential impacts associated with the transport of hazardous materials, and

other potentially hazardous conditions associated with the proposed 'project. RBF will
identify whether or not the proposed project would interfere with any emergency
response plans. Mitigation measures also will be included in this section to address
potential impacts.
Public Services
The publi9 services section of the EIR will address impacts to law enforcement, fire
protection, schools, solid waste, and parks and recreation. In addition to reviewing
available municipal services documents, RBF will contact each of the affected public
service providers (Le" City of Dublin Fire Department, City of Dublin Police Department,
Dublin Unified School District, etc.) to obtain relevant baseline and regulatory
information, and solicit input on potential impacts. Project-related demand for facilities
and services will be estimated and compared against existing capacity and proposed
future capacity associated with intensification of the planning area within the proposed
Specific Plan area. This scope of work assumes that the City will engage a separate
consultant to prepare a public facilities and. financing plan for the proposed project. .
Impacts will be based on whether any new public services or facilities would be
needed and if construction of such facilities could generate significant impacts.
Population and Housing
This. section of the EIR will discuss the existing population and housing conditions within
the City of Dubl1n and the proposed project's consistency with the adopted regional or
local projections from the Association of Bay Area Governments. The impact analysis
wlll address how the proposed project will contribute to population growth in the Ci1y.
The environmental impacts of the increased population and housing (e.g. air quality,
noise, utilities, etc.} will be addressed in their respective technical sections in the EIR.
Land Use and Planning
The proposed project will require a General Plan Amendment (GPA), preparation of a
Specific Plan, a Development Agreement and other changes to various City policies
and pions may be deemed necessary.
RBF will assess the consistency of the proposed project withadopted plans and policies
aimed at reducing or eliminating environmental impacts, including consistency with the
City of Dublin General Plan and City of Dublin Zoning Ordinance. Existing land uses in
the immediate vicinity of the project site will be described based on site visits, aerial
photographs, and other information that' is evaluated as part of preparation of the
proposed Specific Plan.
Hydrology and Water Quality
The hydrology and water quality section of the EJR will address short-term temporary
construction-related effects on hydrology and water quality; long-term project-related

water quality; permanent changes to stormwater drainage and/or flooding; project-
related Impacts to groundwater quantity and quality; and cumulative on-site and off-
site hydrology and water quality impacts.
Applicable federal, state, and local regulations for stormwater drainage, grading and
erosion control, and other water quality protection procedures will be described, and
where necessary, additional feasible mitigation measures will be identified. This section
will be based in-part on discussions with City of Dublin Public Works Department and
Zone 7 staff regarding the local and regional drainage facilities and water supplies. This
section will also address potential impacts to Dublin Ramon Services District (DSRSD),
who provide water services to the City of Dublin and adjacent areas. Off-site water
quality effects associated with construction and long-term urban development will also
be evaluated.
Portions of the project site are located within the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) lOO-year floodplain, which would be subject to floodplain regulations,
including the lOO-year floodplain of the unimproved Chabot Canal. This canal is
currently undersized to convey the lOO-year flows. Future development within the
project site would need to mitigate for the loss of the 1 GO-year floodplain and potential
downstream impacts. Although existing buildings located within the 1 DO-year floodplain
have not been damaged by previous flooding, there is the potential that additional
flooding could occur with future development within the Speclfic Plan area.
Zone 7's streamWISE program implements the stream Management Master Plan, which
provides flood protection to the Livermore Amador Valley. Zone 7's streamWISE
program also provides for increased flood protection by detaining flood water in former
quarries (future Chain of lakes) and releasing it slowly once storms pass. RBF
understands that the streamWISE program is proposing upstream detention on the
order of 60 acre feet to eliminate impacts downstream. Reimbursement for project
components compatible with the streamWISE program may be available to the
proposed project to mitigate for downstream impacts.
To comply with the requirements of CEQA, the potential effects of the proposed project
on flooding will be evaluated in the EIR. The project applicant's civil engineer, Ruggeri
Jenson Azar IRJA), will evaluate impacts to the lOG-year floodplain from bulld out of the
proposed Specific Plan.
This scope of work assumes that RJA, on behalf of the project applicant, will prepare a
Hydrology & Water Quality Technical Report. RBF's hydrology experts will review this
document for technical adequacy and completeness and utilize this report as the basis
for preparing the Hydrology & Water Quality section of the EIR. Impacts will be
Identified in the EIR and mitigation measures wifl be described to reduce any significant
impacts to surface water and groundwater quality and hydrology resulting from the
proposed project to a less than significant level. The Hydrology & Water Quality
Technical Report will be included in the EIR as part of the appendices.

Visual Resources
The project site 1s visible to the surrounding community in the City of Dublin. The visual
resources section of the EIR will identify the visual characteristics. of the project site and
surrounding area. RBF will describe the existing aesthetic environment and visual
resources, including a discussion of views within the project site and views from
surrounding areas, particularly from the adjacent uses, utilizing pictures and information
from a site reconnaissance of the project site and surrounding area and information
from. the proposed Specific Plan. RBF will also describe the regulatory framework
relating to aesthetics and visual resources. RBF will discuss potential short-term and
operational visual Impacts that would result from the proposed project. The urban
design features of the proposed Specific Plan will be evaluated with respect to its ability
to enhance the visual quality of the adjacent areas and the visual experience of those
visiting or residing in the vicinity of the proposed Specific Plan.
If available, architectural renderings from the proposed Specific Plan will be Included as
exhibits in the EIR. These renderings will provide design elements that will aid in the
analysis. The introduction of addifionallight and glare will also be addressed. Mitigation
measures will be provided where necessary to reduce impacts associated with the
proposed project.
Utilities and Service Systems
The utilities and service systems section of the EIR will address water supply, wastewater,
electricity, natural gas, and communications. Project-related demand for facilities and
services will be estimated and compared agaInst existing capacity and proposed
future capacity associated with the proposed project. Service demand will be
evaluated for each utility and service. Potential impacts to the Dublin San Ramon
Services District IDSRSD), which provides water and wastewater services to the City of
Dublin as well as Zone 7, will be addressed. Any impacts addressed in the EIR will be
based on whether any new facilities would be needed and if construction of such
facilities could. generate significant impacts. RBF's description of the proposed
infrastructure systems and any impacts upon them or resulting from them will be based
on the infrastructure section the Specific Plan.
DRSD will require. that the project applicant initiate a Public Facilities Planning
Agreement required for Water and wastewater Service study thdt includes preparation
of a Water Supply Assessment [WSA) per Senate Bill 610 and Senate Bill 221 (to be

Scope of Work
The District's 2010 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), which satisfies SB 610 and SB
220 water supply assessment requirements, was recently determined to be complete by
the state Dept. of. Water Resources. This analysis included the anticipated
development of the project site, based on current planning projections. Following
completion of the Specific Plan, when land uses for the project site are better defined,
DRSD will need to review UWMP for consistency and completeness. The District will also
need to conduct a water service analysis to ensure that water facilities are sized and
looped adequately to provide service to the development. RBF will work with DRSD (in
coordination with city staff) and utilize their findings and technical analysis as the basis
for preparing the water and wastewater facilities portions of the Utilities and Service
Systems section of the EIR. If it is determined that off-site improvements needed to
support the proposed project could create a potential environmental impact, a scope
adjustment may be required.

In addition to the applicant utilizing their own traffic consultant, RBF understands that
the City of Dublin will be coordinating with the project applicant and contracting
directly (separate from this scope of work and budget) with a traffic consultant to
prepare a traffic impact analysis for the proposed project. RBF also assumes that the
traffic consultant will also prepare the transportation and circulation section of the EIR
as a "drop-In" section with minimal formatting or editorial review required by RBF.
Air Quality and Global Climate Change
The project site is within the jurisdiction of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District
(BAAGMD).
Climate. Meteorology. and Ambient Conditions. Basetine and project setting
meteorological data developed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will be
utilized for the description of existing ambient air quality. Air quality data from the local
air quality monitoring station will be utllized to describe local air quality conditions. Other
sources such as regulatory documents, professional publications, and RBf experience In
the project area will also be utllfzed. .
Standards and Conditions. A summary of the relevant policies, rules, and regulations
from the United states Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). CARB (Le.. CalifornIa
Clean Air Act, Air Quality Attainment Plans, etc.), and the BAAGMD will be prepared.
The analysis will follow the guidelines set forth in the BAAQMD's CEQA Air Quality
Guidelines (May 2011).
Construction-Related Emissions. Fugitive dust emissions from construction activities will .
be evaluated using CalEEMod. The analysis will estimate equipment exhaust emissions
utilizing the latest emission fdctors as prescribed by CARB and the EMFAC2007 and
OFfROADS2007- models. RBF will also qualitatively discuss naturally occurring asbestos
impacts. .

long-Term Emissions. Based upon trip generation data provided by the City's traffic
consultant. RBF wlll quantify mobile source emissions and provide a comparison to the
BAAQMD thresholds of significance. The emissions will be quantitatively derived utilizing
CaIEEMod. An assessment of potential Community Risk and Health Hazards based on
BAAQMD's guidance will also be prepared. Project consistency with regional air quality
plans will be evaluated, Including the 20 10 Clean Air Plan (2010 CAP).
Additionally, the analysis will evaluate whether the applicable land use and
transportation control measures from the 2010 CAP have been included in the project
design. The consistency <Elnalysis will determine if the project would cause or contribute
to a violation of on ambient air quality standard. Carbon Monoxide Hotspot modeling
will be conducted for any intersections where the LOS exceeds the BAAQMD's
screening criteria.
Global Climate Change. RBF will utilize the California Air Pollution Control Officers
(CAPCOA) CEQA and Climate Change White Paper (White Paper) (January 2008) and
CARB's Climate Change Proposed Seoping Plan (Scoping Plan) (October 2008) to
provide background Information on the effects of climate change. RBF will utilize the
performance standards and thresholds identified in the BAAQMD's CEQA Air Quality
Guidelines (May 201 J) to determine the signIficance of the project's greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions. The Air Quality and Global Climate Change Report will be Included in
the E1R as part of the appendices.
Noise
This scope of work assumes that at present, RBF will conduct the noise measurements
and prepare the noise analysis for this section. Should the applicant decide to have
the noise analysis prepared by a separate consultant. the scope and budget will be
modified accordingly.
Existinq Conditions. RBF will conduct a .site visit along the project site and at adjacent
land uses. During the site visit, RBF will conduct short~term noise level measurements
along the project area. Noise monitoring equipment will consist of a BrOel & Kjcer model
2250 sound level meter (SLM) equipped with Br0el & Kjcer pre-polarized freefield
microphone. The results of the noise measurements will be post-processed and
graphically illustrated with the BrOel & Kjc:er Noise Explorer software. The noise
monitoring survey will be conducted at up to five separate locations to establish
baseline noise levels in the project area.
standards and Conditions.. RBF will review applicable state and City noise and land use
compatibility criteria for the project area. Noise standards will be discussed for land
uses on and adjacent to the project sites.

Scope 01 Work
Construction-Related Noise. Construction noise impacts will be evaluated in terms of
maximum levels (lmax) and hourly equivalent continuous noise levels (Leq) and the
frequency of occurrence at adjacent sensitive locations. Analysis requirements will be
based on the sensitivity of the area and the noise standards of the City. RBF will provide
a discussion of off-site truck hauling, if required, for construction-related soil import or
export, focusing on haul routes affecting senslf[ve receptors.
Ooerational Noise. Potential effects of stationary noise sources will be evaluated based
on the City's land use compatibility standards. Compliance with applicable noise
standards will be evaluated, with recommended mitigation measures Included where
appropriate. The traffic modeling will take into account the entire development and
will evaluate existing and forecast conditions. Noise impacts from vehicular traffic will
be assessed using the U.S. Federal Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Models (FHW A-RO-
n-lOa and TNM 2.5). Measures to reduce exterior and interior noise exposure will be
provided where necessary.
Growth Inducement and Cumulative Impacts
RBF will discuss potential growth-inducing impacts pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15126.2. The analysis in this section will be based on data from the Association of Bay
Area Governments (ABAG), California Department of Finance, and U.S. Census data.
Potential sources of growth inducement and their Impacts, such as removal of
obstacles to growth, will be analyzed qualitatively to the extent they are applicable.
In accordance with Section 15130 of the CEQA Guidelines, this section provides a listing
of cumulative projects and actions under consideration. RBF wHl consult with City staff
to define the appropriate study area for the cumulative analysis (e.g. list of approved,
pending or proposed development projects in the City or general plan buildout). RBF
will dlscuss cumulative impacts for each environmental issue area identified above, and
will provide both quantitative and qualitative levels of analysis.
Alternatives
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6, RBF will provide an analysis of up to three
(3) alternatives, including an analysis of the "No Project" Alternative. The analysis will
include a sufficient level of detail to allow decision makers to gain a greater
understanding of all alternatives should a determination be rendered to support an
alternative development scenario. This alternatives section will culminate with the
selection of the environmentally superior alternative in accordance wIth. CEQA
requirements.

Project Schedule
The project schedule will be prepared by the project applicant and reviewed on a
monthly basis with goal of the approval of project entitlements by March of 2013. This
schedule will be dependent upon the preparation of the Draft Specific Plan and
related technical studies.
Project Assumptions
In addition to any assumptions noted above, the scope and associated costs are
based on the following assumptions:
1. The cost estimate includes meetings described in this scope of work. Additional
meetings would be billed on a time and materials basis.
2. The project applicant will provide RBF will all technical materials, maps, project
plans, GIS data, etc. as they become available. This scope of work assumes that
all materials, including the Draft Specific Plan and all supporting technical
studies, will be provided prior to preparation of the impact sections of the EIR
and that no further modification to the data will be required.
3. The project applicant will be providing a number of technical reports that will be
used as supporting background information in the EIR. This scope of work
assumes that these technical reports will be sufficient in their accuracy and
comprehensive in their level of detail sufficient for preparing the CEQA analysis.
RBF Consulting, and our sub-consultants (where applicable), will review the first
draft of these documents. Should It be found that the information presented Is
not adequate (at the discretion of RBF and the City of Dublin), and that
additional substantive revisions are required, RBF reserves the right to request
additional compensation on a time and materials basis, per prior approval by
the City of Dublin. This scope of work assumes that a contingency fund of 10% of
the total budget will be provided by the applicant and could be used to fund all
or part of this additional effort If necessary.
4. No new technical analysis or preparation of technical reports will be required,
other than those identified in this scope of work.
5. This scope of work assumes that Effect Found Not to be Signiticant will include:
Agricultural Resources and Mineral Resources.
6. All products will be submitted to the City in electronic (PDF) format and source
files, except for printed copies as identified in this scope of work. The applicant
will also receive a copy of these pdfs and source fUes, with fhe exception of
those documents identified for City internal review only.

Scope 01 Work
7. City staff will act as a clearinghouse for comments on all administrative draft
documents and will provide RBF with a single, internally reconciled set of
comments for each submitted draft document,
8. There will be a single round of review and revision to both the 1st and 2nd
Administrative Draft documents prior to the Screencheck Draft. If City staff feels
that additional Administrative Draft documents are necessary, a contract
amendment for additional work may be necessary, depending on the nature
and circumstances associated with the additional changes (e.g. changes to the
project description, additional technical analysis required, etc). These changes
can be characterized as being outside of the control or knowledge of RBF and
would not be considered reasonable from the standpoint of professional
standards of service and appropriate due diligence.
9. Revisions to the Screencheck Draft will focus on typographical errors, formatting
issues, and other minor edits. Such revisions will not include content changes.
10. The City will develop the mailing list for distribution of the EIR and notices by RBF.
The City will be responsible for newspaper costs of publication of notices, which
will be billed directly to the City, so they are not included in the proposed
budget,
11. The budget is based on completion of work within an agreed upon schedule. If
substantial delay occurs, an amendment of the budget will be warranted to
accommodate additional project management time and other costs.
Substantial delay is normally defined as 90 days or more.
12. Because the extent of public and agency comments received on the Draft EIR is
. unknown, the proposed budget includes a preliminary budget estimate of time
to respond to comments. RBF will consult with City staff after the evaluation of
the comments to determine if the preliminarily budget estimate is sufficient.
13. Once the proposed project description, baseline and alternatives are approved
by the City for analysis in the EIR, it is assumed that they will not change
significantly thereafter. If changes requiring revisions to the analysis of rewriting of
the EIR information occur, an amendment of the budget may be required.
14. The CEQA statutes or guidelines may change during the course of this EIR, or
legal decisions can alter the extent of the analysis needed, If amendments or
decisions redoing work already performed or substantially increasing effort, a
contract amendment may be warranted. .
15, This project includes an allowance for printing as shown in the aitached budget.
This is an allowance only, based on the numbers of products and copies shQwn
