DESCRIPTION:
On November 1, 2016, the City Council adopted Resolution 161 -16 (Attachment 2)
approving a Consultant Services Agreement with BKF Engineers for conducting
preliminary design work for the extension of Dublin Boulevard in Dublin to North
Canyons Parkway in Livermore. The preliminary design work includes the completion of
a traffic study, preparation of an Environmental Impact Report, initial roadway design,
and the preparation of a Precise Alignment. The traffic study will determine the ultimate
capacity (number of lanes) needed for this roadway extension.
The City of Dublin received a Measure BB allocation of $8.288 million on April 27, 2017
for final design work and for any additional environmental clearance work. After this
funding allocation, Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) staff
recommended adding National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) related
environmental work to the project. Based on discussions with ACTC staff, it is prudent
to obtain NEPA environmental clearance for this project in order for it to be eligible for
federal funding and/or grants in addition to state and local funding sources. A resolution
(Attachment 3) and an amendment to the consulting services agreement with BKF
Engineers (Exhibit A to Attachment 3) are included for the City Council’s consideration
to increase the scope, compensation and term of Agreement to conclude the work.
At that April 27, 2017 meeting, ACT C approved the Project Funding Agreement (Exhibit
B to Attachment 3), obligating $500,000 of the Measure BB allocation to pay for the
additional NEPA clearance work for the Project. With the professional services defined
under the amendment to the Agreement with BKF, it is now appropriate for the City
Council to approve the Project Funding Agreement. The amount will cover the
consultant services cost of $286,485 and the remaining amount of $213,515 will be
used for future project costs such as design or construction.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
October 11,2016 Dublin Blvd-North Canyons Pkwy Extension Project
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Introduction:
The scope of services is specifically based to provide the City of Dublin, in concert with the City of
Livermore and Alameda County, with Professional Civil, Environmental and Traffic Services for the
preliminary engineering study of the extension of Dublin Boulevard from Fallon Road in Dublin,
California to North Canyons Parkway in Livermore, California (Project), which traverses through a
segment of unincorporated Alameda County. The study will develop a preliminary design in order to
establish a preferred horizontal and vertical design alignment (Precise Plan Alignment)for the segment
of Dublin Boulevard from the intersection of Fallon Road (Dublin) to the North Canyons Parkway and
Doolan Road intersection (Livermore).
BKF Engineers (CONSULTANT)will use the current General Plans of the Cities of Dublin, Livermore, and
Alameda County to develop the roadway alignment that will incorporate future roadway connectivity of
all planned roadways in the area, to this new roadway. The Project is included in the Alameda
Countywide Transportation Plan and Plan Bay Area. A California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared to clear the Project with an appropriate level of
environmental review. The City of Dublin will be the CEQA Lead Agency; the City of Livermore and
Alameda County will be responsible agencies and can utilize/transfer the certified EIR for their
respective jurisdictions. Supporting the environmental document and to obtain approval of a Precise
Alignment Ordinance by their respective governing bodies,a Precise Plan Alignment with cross sections,
costs and memo will be prepared. The Project will include the accommodation of multimodal travel
along this roadway. The Cities of Livermore and Dublin recognize that the lands within unincorporated
Alameda County between the Livermore and Dublin jurisdictional boundaries are outside of each
jurisdictions urban growth boundary. Development of this area is governed by Alameda County
Measure D. For this Project, no changes to existing land use shall be assumed. For the purposes of this
scope of services and coordination,the City of Dublin in concert with the City of Livermore and County
of Alameda, is herein referred to as CITY.

C. TASK C:PRELIMINARY DESIGN &COST ESTIMATE
CONSULTANT will develop horizontal and vertical alignments for use in the preliminary precise plan
line,as well as conceptual roadway plan, profile,and cross sections.The preliminary precise plan will
establish a multi-modal geometric design, be used to support the environmental document and
define the criteria and constraints for the Dublin Boulevard Extension.
C.1 Preliminary Horizontal Design
Initially,different variations of the alignment(horizontal)will be evaluated to develop the
preferred horizontal alignment which would consider the design constraints and minimize
impacts.
CONSULTANT will identify and document a range of horizontal alignments under
consideration that accommodate the required traffic lanes,bicycle and pedestrian facilities,
and transit and incorporate the appropriate design standards confirmed under Task B.The
traffic analysis information will be reviewed to confirm proposed lane assignments,
transitions,and storage lengths for turn lanes.The horizontal alignment will include
intersection geometry layout.CONSULTANT will also identify special design features like
right-of-way transitions, easements,sidewalks, bicycle facilities(Class I, II,and IV),
driveways,curb ramps, lane transitions,and dedicated transit (bus)lanes.
CONSULTANT will review the horizontal alignment to establish utility corridors,
ingress/egress access points, and general right of way requirements.
CONSULTANT will prepare preliminary a rough cost/benefit evaluation for the proposed
horizontal alternative(s)for consideration by the CITY in moving forward with preliminary
vertical design. The cost/benefit evaluation will consider design constraints and design
elements such as right of way,anticipated grading/retaining walls locations, likely and
bridge/culvert locations;this will be evaluated with the base mapping,field mapping and
ongoing discussions with the resource agencies in order to determine opportunities,
restrictions,and a balance of sensitive environmental issues and resources.
CONSULTANT will submit the geometric horizontal alignments and cost/benefit evaluation
and work with the CITY to review, respond and incorporate comments. CONSULTANT will
modify and refine the horizontal alignment to generate a preferred horizontal alignment.
C.2 Preliminary Vertical Design
Based on the preferred horizontal alignment,CONSULTANT will develop up to three(3)
conceptual vertical alignment alternatives. CONSULTANT will identify and document a
range of vertical alignments under consideration and develop profiles to balance the Project
goals,impacts, and opportunities incorporating the appropriate design standards confirmed
in Task B.2.

CONSULTANT will begin to evaluate approximate Project limits of grading disturbance and
estimate the approximate acreage and cubic yards of earthwork;this will be further
developed to support the environmental efforts regarding potential impacts and
disturbance of environmentally sensitive areas,and the analysis will be integrated into the
cost/benefit evaluation.
Due to the drainages in the area (such as Cottonwood Creek)and the known
environmentally sensitive resources,conceptual bridge alignments(including vertical
alignment, horizontal footprint,and configuration)will be identified and developed. Bridge
types and retaining wall limits/configuration options will be investigated to further reduce
impact areas and minimize grading disturbance.
CONSULTANT will update the rough cost/benefit evaluation to focus on the proposed
vertical alternative(s)for consideration by the CITY in moving forward with the preliminary
precise plan and conceptual plan and profile.
CONSULTANT will submit the conceptual geometric vertical alignments and cost/benefit
evaluation and work with the CITY to review, respond and incorporate comments in order to
develop the preferred vertical alignment.
C.3 65%Preliminary Precise Plan and Conceptual Plan/Profile
The preferred horizontal and vertical alignments will be used as a basis to prepare the
Preliminary Precise Plan Line and Conceptual Plan and Profile which will also be used in the
environmental assessment of the Project.
CONSULTANT will prepare the Preliminary Precise Plan Line and Conceptual Plan and Profile
to include:
Layout,
Profile,
Typical sections
Cross sections at 100-feet increments and key locations.

D. TASK D:PREPARE CEQA ANALYSIS
D.1 Environmental Impact Report(EIR):
CONSULTANT will coordinate with CITY on CEQA related issues and prepare an
administrative draft EIR using the current the checklist template of the State CEQA
Guidelines,as well as the significance criteria identified for the CITY.
The EIR will focus on the significant effects of the project and indicate the reasons for
determining that other effects would not be significant or potentially significant. We
recognize that the development of this EIR will involve input from a variety of agencies,the
CITY, and other concerned parties. CONSULTANT will work closely with all to provide CEQA
expertise, resolve project questions, and relay information and questions to and from the
other firms on our project team.
Notice of Preparation (NOP)and Public Scopina:CONSULTANT will provide abbreviated
responses to the CEQA checklist questions to help identify key and non-key
environmental issues for the project. Using these information,CONSULTANT will
prepare a draft NOP for the CITY to review and approve for distribution.The NOP will
include a brief project description and the parameters established in CEQA Guidelines
Section 15082.The NOP will summarize the key issues that will be evaluated in the EIR
i.e.,traffic, biological resources,air quality and greenhouse gas,noise,cultural
resources,and traffic)and issues not requiring extensive further examination(e.g.,
mineral resources and public services). Based on the CITY's comments,CONSULTANT
will revise the draft NOP and send it to the State Clearinghouse,and any other
interested parties or stakeholders.
As described above under Task A.3, a public scoping meeting will be held pursuant to
CEQA legal requirements. Following the state-mandated 30-day scoping period,
CONSULTANT will review comments received in response to the NOP and at the scoping
meeting. CONSULTANT will provide a comment matrix spreadsheet to the CITY that
organizes all comments received by federal; state; and local agencies, and public
comment. Each comment will be identified to determine whether any new issues were
raised that need to be addressed in the EIR or whether any additional analyses will be
required as a result of the NOP comments.
Prepare EIR Project Description
Project Description:The Project description will be submitted for review and approval
prior to the submittal of the administrative draft EIR. The CITY will provide
CONSULTANT with one set of comments using Microsoft Word's"Track Changes"
feature. CONSULTANT will prepare the final project description upon receipt of CITY
comments. The project description will include:
Page 14 of 34
BKF#:20167083-10
October 11,2016 Dublin Blvd-North Canyons Pkwy Extension Project
i. The precise location and boundaries of the proposed alignment on an aerial map,
which also will show the regional location of the Project site;
ii. A general description of the technical and environmental characteristics of the
Project
iii. A brief statement describing the intended uses of the EIR
iv. A list of the agencies that are expected to use the EIR in their decision making
v. A list of permits and other approvals required to implement the project
vi. A list of related environmental review and consultation requirements required by
federal,state,or local laws,regulations,or policies.
EIR Setting, Impact Analyses,and Mitigation:The environmental setting for each of the
topical areas will include the relevant section for that specific topic. The environmental
impact analyses will be based upon the impacts associated with the proposed
alignment. The administrative draft EIR will include the full range of potential impacts
for all topical areas as required by the CEQA Guidelines,and measurable mitigation for
each significant or potentially significant impact identified to eliminate or reduce the
impact to a less-than-significant level to the extent feasible.
Four(4)standalone reports(technical studies)will be prepared for the following technical
areas: biological resources;cultural resources;air quality and greenhouse gas;and noise and
vibration. Traffic study prepared under Section E will be used for EIR and be sufficient to
meet CEQA standards. These reports will provide the substantial evidence required to clear
the EIR for CEQA clearance. A description of the scope of work for each report is described
below:
Biological Resources Report:
Biological Resources Report-Setting Section: In conjunction with resource agency
consultation conducted(and discussed)under Task A.2,CONSULTANT will review
Project materials and relevant background information concerning biological resources
in the Project vicinity, including reports prepared by HTH for the Moller Ranch, Dublin
Ranch,Wallis Ranch, 1-580, Las Positas College,and Dougherty Road projects;the East
Alameda County Conservation Strategy(EACCS);aerial photographs of the vicinity; U.S.
Geological Survey topographic maps; USFWS National Wetland Inventory Maps;the
California Natural Diversity Database(CNDDB);and species data compiled by the
California Native Plant Society and other public interest groups.
A wildlife ecologist and a botanist/wetlands ecologist will conduct reconnaissance-level
field surveys of the Project area to document the biological conditions.This information
will be gathered for the purpose of characterizing the botanical resources and wildlife
habitat values of the Project site and surrounding vicinity.The dominant biotic
communities of the site,characterized based on dominant plants and associated
wildlife,will be mapped. Additionally,the trees on the site will be surveyed and
evaluated for the purposes of CEQA analysis in the EIR.
Page 15 of 34
BKF#:20167083-10
October 11,2016 Dublin Blvd-North Canyons Pkwy Extension Project
The reconnaissance-level field surveys will also determine the site's potential to support
special-status plant and animal species. Based on East Alameda County Conservation
Strategy(EACCS)habitat mapping(which the lead agency and resource agencies will
likely refer to),special-status species issues will likely involve California tiger salamander
Ambystoma californiense),California red-legged frog(Rana draytonii),western pond
turtle (Actinemys marmorata),Callippe silverspot butterfly(Speyeria callippe callippe),
golden eagle(Aquila chrysaetos),tricolored blackbird(Agelaius tricolor),burrowing owl
Athene cunicularia),American badger(Taxidea taxus),San Joaquin kit fox,San Joaquin
spearscale(Extriplex joaquiniana)and Congdon's tarplant(Centromadia parry!ssp.
congdonii), among others.
Special-status species surveys do not need to be conducted for the EIR. This scope
assumes the presence of California tiger salamander,California red-legged frog,and San
Joaquin kit fox within the entire footprint of the site. The potential for special-status
plant species will be addressed through mitigation measures to include future plant
surveys prior to construction, given that identification of plant species is seasonal and
can fluctuate during the preparation of the document.
CONSULTANT will assess the topography and soil types that occur within the Project
area,and determine whether they represent suitable habitat(i.e.saline-alkali soils with
hummock topography)for these species.Refined mapping will be conducted of
potentially sensitive or regulated habitats,such as wetlands and other waters of the
U.S./State,on the Project site. Habitat mapping will be conducted by using
methodologies developed and approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
and U.S.Army Corps of Engineers,ensuring all waters of the U,S./State are mapped at a
level sufficient for environmental review and for future incorporation into a
jurisdictional determination report during the permit phase of the Project.
Biological Resources Report-Impacts and Mitigation:The report will analyze the
elements of the proposed Project in the context of the biotic resources of the project
area and vicinity and identify site-specific and cumulative impacts. Based on CEQA
Guidelines(Appendix G), identification and determination will be made on all impacts as
being either less than significant, less than significant with mitigation,or(if appropriate)
significant and unavoidable.
Based on EACCS mitigation guidance, mitigation measures will be described for
potentially significant environmental impacts. Mitigation,as it applies to a discussion of
how to ameliorate the significant effects of the Project on biotic resources on and off
the Project site,will Include avoidance of the impact,minimizing the impact by
decreasing the magnitude of the action, restoring the biotic resource to its former
condition after the impact has occurred, reducing or eliminating the impact overtime by
appropriate preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the Project,and
Page 16 of 34
BKF#: 20167083-10
October 11, 2016 Dublin Blvd-North Canyons Pkwy Extension Project
compensating for the impact by replacing elsewhere those habitats or those biota that
have been adversely affected.
Cultural Resources Assessment Report:
Archival Research and Records Search: CONSULTANT will consult with the California
Historical Resources Information System(CHRIS),Northwest Information Center(NWIC)
at Sonoma State University to conduct a record search of the approximately 1.75-mile
long project area (of unknown width).The records search will identify known cultural
resource sites and previous surveys in the Project area and within a minimum one-
quarter mile radius adjacent thereto.
All previous cultural resource surveys, known historic or prehistoric sites,and listed or
eligible National Register of Historic Places or California Register of Historical Resources
properties within the area of the record search will be identified.Copies of applicable
site records and survey reports will be made as necessary,and site locations will be
plotted on the USGS topo quad.
State and local historic site inventories will also be reviewed to identify the presence of
any listed sites in the project vicinity.Additional data on the history and prehistory of
the area on file will be also reviewed.
Native American Heritage Commission:As required under CEQA,the Native American
Heritage Commission(NAHC) in Sacramento will be contacted by email (certified letter)
with a description of the proposed project, and a request to review their Sacred Lands
file for information on traditional or cultural lands within the project area and vicinity.
The NAHC will also be asked to provide a list of interested, local Native American
representatives.The contact letter will be followed with a maximum of two telephone
calls to each representative if no written response to the contact letter is received in an
appropriate amount of time. Results of the consultation will be included in the Cultural
Resources Assessment Report discussed below.
SB 18 Consultation: In accordance with statutory requirements stipulated in Senate Bill
18(SB 18):
Prior to the adoption or any amendment of a general or specific plan, a local
government must notify the appropriate tribes (on the contact list maintained by the
NAHC) of the opportunity to conduct consultations for the purposes of preserving, or
mitigating, impacts to, cultural places located on land within the local government's
jurisdiction that is affected by the proposed plan adoption or amendment (Supplement
to General Plan Guidelines-2005).
Page 17 of 34
BKF#:20167083-10
October 11, 2016 Dublin Blvd-North Canyons Pkwy Extension Project
To facilitate this government-to-government consultation and on behalf of the CITY,
CONSULTANT will contact the NAHC in Sacramento to provide notification of the
proposed project and to request a list of tribes with traditional lands or cultural places
located within the City's jurisdiction. The tribes identified on the list provided by the
NAHC are those that the CITY must contact for purposes of consultation, prior to
completing preparation of the precise plan or changes in the General Plan. On behalf of
the CITY, CONSULTANT will contact the tribes identified by the NAHC to notify them of
the opportunity to consult. Pursuant to Government Code §65352.3(a)(2),each tribe has
90 days to respond and request consultation. If the tribes do not respond, or decline
consultation,consultation is not required. If a tribe requests consultation,CONSULTANT
will coordinate the required face-to-face consultation between tribal representative(s)
and the designated CITY representative(s). CONSULTANT will maintain records of all
communications for inclusion in the project's Cultural Resources Assessment Report that
will be prepared for the project.
AB-52 Consultation: Assembly Bill 52 requires a lead agency to provide notice to Native
American tribes that are traditionally or culturally affiliated with the geographic area of
a proposed project if such tribe(s) have requested notice of projects within that area. If
the tribe(s) that have requested notification request consultation within 30 days of
receiving such notification, the agency must consult with the tribes. Consultation may
include discussion of the type of environmental review that is necessary,the significance
of tribal cultural resources within the project area or surrounding region, the
significance of the project's impacts on the tribal cultural resources, and the alternatives
and mitigation measures recommended by the tribe. On behalf of the CITY, as lead
agency,CONSULTANT will contact the tribe(s)that have notified the CITY that they wish
to be consulted and will provide a project description and notification that they have 30
days to request consultation with the CITY. If the tribes do not respond, or decline
consultation,consultation is not required. If a tribe requests consultation,CONSULTANT
will coordinate the required face-to-face consultation between tribal representative(s)
and the designated CITY representative(s). CONSULTANT will maintain records of all
communications for inclusion in the project's Cultural Resources Assessment Report
that will be prepared for the project
In anticipation of the types of materials that may be requested as part of the AB-52
consultation, CONSULTANT has included provisional costs for obtaining the information
from the NWIC. These may include copies of the results of the record search, copies of
reports on archaeological studies conducted within the project area or the surrounding
Y-mile radius that are identified in the record search, an assessment of the
archaeological sensitivity for the project area, a copy of the project's Cultural Resources
Assessment Report, including recommendations and recommended mitigation
measures, the results of the NAHC consultation, copies of any ethnographic studies
conducted within the project area and the surrounding 14-mile radius,and copies of any
geotechnical reports conducted within the project area.

will be based on the data provided by the traffic consultant.The assessment of these
emissions may be somewhat qualitative, because specific travel speed and vehicles
miles are the necessary inputs for calculating vehicle emissions. GHG emissions will
compared against BAAQMD significance thresholds.
Energy Impacts: In accordance with Appendix F of the CEQA Guidelines, projected
electricity and natural gas usage, during construction and operation of the project,
would be estimated using CalEEMod and project-specific information. Energy impacts
will be quantified to the extent feasible and disclosed in a separate Energy chapter in
the EIR.
Preparation of Air Quality and GHG Technical Report:In accordance with applicable
CEQA guidelines,a technical air quality and greenhouse gas emission report,suitable for
use in completion of the environmental document,will be prepared that briefly
describes the air quality setting in terms of health effects of air pollution,site climate
conditions, monitored air pollutant levels, regulatory environment and planning efforts
to improve or maintain air quality conditions. Impacts and mitigation will be included.
Response to one set of internal comments and one set from CITY on the administrative
draft of the report are included; revisions will be made based on these comments.
Noise/Vibration Report:
Background Review, Project Meetings,and Coordination:CONSULTANT will review
relevant Project materials,background information,guidelines and policies that are
applicable to the Project prior to site visit in support of the noise/vibration technical
study.
Noise Monitoring Survey: It is anticipated that existing noise levels in the vicinity of the
Project alignment are dominated by traffic traveling along 1-580,which is located just
south of the Project alignment. Noise measurements will be conducted at noise
sensitive receptor locations adjacent to the Project alignment. Noise levels will be
monitored during daytime,evening,and nighttime periods at representative locations
adjacent to the study area in order to establish baseline noise levels along the corridor
long-term measurements).Attended measurements would be conducted over short-
term periods of 10 to 15 minutes.Traffic conditions on existing roadway segments
would be monitored during short-term measurements through vehicle counts and
speed estimates.Using these data,day/night noise levels(Ldn)would be identified at
each location.The noise measurement sites would be selected according to the
distribution of noise-sensitive receptors. Review of the Project vicinity map and aerial
photography of the area shows that there are few noise sensitive receptors along the
proposed roadway extension alignment;therefore,the noise monitoring survey will
include 1 to 2 long-term and 3 to 4 short-term noise measurement locations.
Page 21 of 34
BKF#: 20167083-10
October 11,2016 Dublin Blvd-North Canyons Pkwy Extension Project
Traffic Noise Modeling:Traffic noise modeling will be used to calculate existing,existing
plus project,and future with project traffic noise levels. Modeling will be conducted
using either FHWA's Traffic Noise Model(TNM)or SoundPLAN with the TNM calculation
module selected.The model will be calibrated to measured conditions using existing
topography and roadway alignment of 1-580,which is anticipated to be the primary
noise source in the area. Future traffic noise levels will be predicted taking into account
future traffic volumes,lane configurations,and speeds along both 1-580 and the
proposed roadway extension.
Identify Noise Impacts and Mitigation Measures:A significant noise impact would occur
if noise levels are projected to substantially increase at a noise sensitive receptor or
exceed the thresholds identified in the General Plan.The primary test for a road
improvement project under CEQA is the substantial increase test.This assessment will
be completed by comparing existing noise levels with the Project to existing noise levels
without the Project at existing noise sensitive locations. The potential short-term noise
and vibration impacts resulting from construction will be assessed and identified.
Measures to reduce noise levels would be recommended where significant noise
impacts are identified.The feasibility or effectiveness of noise barriers and quieter
pavement would be evaluated through traffic noise modeling.
Preparation of Noise Technical Report: In accordance with applicable CEQA guidelines,a
technical noise and vibration report,suitable for use in completion of the environmental
document,will be prepared that addresses noise and vibration impacts.
Response to one set of internal comments and one set from CITY on the administrative
draft of the report are included;revisions will be made based on these comments.
Other Required EIR Analyses
Cumulative Impacts:The analysis of cumulative impacts will be based on Section 15130 of
the CEQA Guidelines.According to CEQA,a cumulative impact would occur if the effects of
the project(which alone may not result in significant impacts)cause a significant
environmental impact when taken in combination with the effects of other ongoing and
reasonably foreseeable projects in the area. The cumulative analysis scenario will be based
on future development in the project area and will use either a list provided by the CITY of
current, planned and reasonably foreseeable future projects,or an agreed calculation of the
buildout associated with the CITY's General Plan.
The EIR will evaluate whether there are significant cumulative impacts associated with
development of the project area,and whether the project's contribution to a significant
cumulative impact would be substantial("cumulatively considerable"). In general,a
project's contribution to a cumulative impact is determined not to be cumulatively
considerable if the project is required to implement or fund its"fair share"of mitigation
Page 22 of 34
BKF#:20167083-10
October 11,2016
Dublin Blvd-North Canyons Pkwy Extension Project
measures designed to alleviate the cumulative impact.The EIR will provide a discussion of
any reasonably feasible options for mitigating or avoiding the project's contribution to any
significant cumulative impacts.
Alternatives to the Project:Alternatives to the project are anticipated to include the No
Project Alternative(required by CEQA)and two development scenarios that will avoidsignificantimpactsrelatedtotheproject.These scenarios could involve different design
changes(as supported with the work under Task C), a reduction in the total development
on the project site or an alternative location/alignment(unless considered and rejected asinfeasible). It will be important that these alternatives be reasonable,feasible,and meet thebasicobjectivesoftheproject.The No Project Alternative will assume development of thesiteaccordingtotheexistinggeneralplanlandusedesignationandzoningfortheproperty.Alternatives considered but rejected,that were developed during the design phase will be
included disclosed in this chapter of the EIR.
The impacts of each alternative will be compared to those associated with the project.AsrequiredbyCEQA,the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative and the reasons for
rejecting any alternative will be discussed, including consistency with the roveconme finedgoalsandobjectives. In accordance with CEQA(Section 15126.6(e)(2))thesuperioralternativeamongthetwoalternatedevelopmentscenarioswill be identified.
Effects Found N be Sigotto nificant:This section will list and briefly discuss the potential
impacts found to be insignificant or less-than-significant.This chapter will go through each
item on the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G checklist and direct the reader to the appropriate
EIR section for relevant issues.
Other CEQA-Required Conclusions:Pursuant to CEQA Section 15126 CEQA Required
Conclusions,the following information will be presented as applicable:
o All significant unavoidable adverse impacts,including any impacts that can be partially
mitigated,but not to less-than-significant level.
o Significant Irreversible Environmental Changes, including the irretrievable commitment
of natural resources to a project.
o The potential for growth-inducement associated with the proposed project and the
corresponding impacts.Growth inducement occurs when a project would create
substantial direct or indirect economic or population growth in the surrounding
environment.The EIR will consider whether the project would induce growth through
the removal of obstacles to growth (such as through a change in zoning or the extension
of roads or utilities into an undeveloped area)or through the generation of major new
employment or housing.

Preparation of a detailed wetland delineation report adequate for project permitting or
conducting a site visit with the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers to obtain verification of
jurisdictional boundaries,is excluded.
It is assumed there is no Caltrans involvement in this Project,and that a 1/4-mile radius for the
cultural records search is acceptable.
As the NWIC typically has a backlog of requests,a normal records search could take up to sixweekstocomplete.CONSULTANT recommends/assumes a Rapid Response records search be
conducted,which will generate results within two to three weeks.Cost estimate to be
confirmed by the NWIC.
No subsurface testing will be conducted as part of this proposal. However,under an authorized
contract amendment,any cultural resources discovered during the survey will be recorded and
evaluated for significance(California Register of Historical Resources eligibility)in accordance
with the criteria in CEQA Section 15064.5 and 36 CFR 60.4.
It is assumed the CITY will coordinate with other agencies(i.e.,City of Dublin,City of Livermore
and the County of Alameda)to solicit comments as they seem necessary on the administrative
draft and MND). CONSULTANT will respond to one consolidated set of comments for the CITY.
No special status species surveys or permitting is assumed during the preparation of the EIR.
The scope of services does not include permitting consultation with agencies.
Mitigation measures to be described in the biological report will be of sufficient detail for CEQA
review purposes. However,preparation of detailed habitat mitigation plans,should such plans
be necessary in the future,and identification of mitigation sites(e.g.,for special-status species'
habitat)is not included within this scope of work.
This scope does not include conditions of agency permits and approvals, including the biological
opinion and incidental take permit that may result in survey of monitoring needs. If such
approvals contain additional requirements,we would be happy to perform those services and
bill them on an hourly basis,or provide a separate proposal for those services.
CITY will distribute the Notice of Intent to Adopt to mailing list developed under Task A.3(Public
Meeting),and all other interested parties or stakeholders.It is difficult to assess the efforts required to respond to comments received on the draft EIR by
the public and agencies. The budget allocated for this optional task assumes a task-effort to
respond to comments received on the draft EIR("Response to Comments/Final EIR"). If the
volume and types of comments received exceed the hours allocated for this task,an augment
may be required to address the comments.CONSULTANT assumes that the proposed alignment would not change significantly from the one
analyzed in the EIR.
CONSULTANT assumes that no new technical studies or additional analysis will be required for
the preparation for the EIR or as result of comments received during the scoping and public
review period.

E. TASK E: DEVELOP ULTIMATE ROADWAY CAPACITY
E.1 Traffic Study
CONSULTANT will prepare a traffic study that will determine the ultimate capacity and
configuration needed to operate the Dublin Boulevard/ North Canyons Parkway Extension.
The study will involve travel demand forecasting and traffic operations to determine the
capacity requirements for the Project.
Traffic Assumptions
Assumptions Memorandum: Based on the discussion from the kickoff meeting in Task A,
but prior to commencing with the traffic study, CONSULTANT will develop a memo
describing the approach for the traffic analysis and all assumptions for study limits, data
collection, validation, horizon years, scenarios, travel forecasting, traffic operations
analysis, and CEOA support. This memo will be circulated to the CITY for review and
comment.
Study Intersections: Based on a review of model comparison graphics (between 2040
plus project and 2040 no-project volumes), CONSULTANT assumes the following 10
intersections for analysis. The final list will be determined in coordination with CITY:
1. Airway Blvd/580 EB ramps (Livermore)
2. Airway Blvd/580 WB ramps(Livermore)
3. Airway Blvd/N.Canyons Parkway(Livermore)
4. Isabel/Portola Avenue (Livermore)
5. Doolan Road/Dublin Boulevard Ext-future intersection -(Livermore)
6. Dublin Boulevard Ext/new Access Road -future intersection (Dublin)
7. Dublin Boulevard Ext/Fallon Road -future intersection (Dublin)
8. Fallon Road/580 EB ramps (Dublin)
9. El Charro Road/580 WB ramps (Livermore)
10. Dublin Boulevard Ext/Tassajara Road (Dublin)
Alternative/Substitute Study Intersections: Other alternative intersections for
substitution in the analysis will include the following 4 intersections:
11. Portola Avenue/Mu rrieta Blvd(Livermore)
12. Isabel Ave/580 EB ramps (Livermore)
13. Isabel Ave/580 WB ramps(Livermore)
14. Dublin Boulevard Ext/Hacienda Blvd (Dublin)
Study intersections have been determined in coordination with CITY. Extending the
traffic study to cover more than 14 study intersections is considered additional work and
scope/fee can be provided upon request.
Page 27 of 34
BKF#: 20167083-10
October 11,2016 Dublin Blvd-North Canyons Pkwy Extension Project
It is assumed that available Synchro models from CITY will be provided to CONSULTANT.
CONSULTANT will stitch models together and update any necessary assumptions
including lane geometries and signal phasing.
a. Review Background Documents
Existing/Background Documentation: CONSULTANT will collect and review all land use
and background information including all relevant policies, action plans, general
plan/specific plans and traffic impact fees. The General Plans of Dublin, County, and
Livermore together with the BART to Isabel DEIR and the Isabel Avenue Station Area
Plan will be reviewed. CONSULTANT will also review the ACTC Capital Project Delivery
Plan to facilitate coordination with the 580 Freeway Corridor Management System
Project.
A listing of background documents to be provided to CONSULTANT, and/or online links
shared,by CITY will be provided by CONSULTANT at the kick-off meeting under Task A.1.
b. Existing Conditions
Counts: The purpose of this task is to describe the existing conditions in the Project
vicinity. This will establish the setting of the study area, and calibrate both travel
forecasting and traffic operations analysis models. CONSULTANT will analyze up to
fourteen (14) study intersections as listed above, during the AM and PM peak hours.
CONSULTANT will coordinate with the CITY to obtain all traffic counts from available
CITY sources. The counts are assumed to include bicycle, pedestrian, bus and truck
flows at the 14 study intersections.
If study intersection counts are not available, or the specific assumed data at each
intersection is not available,or if the CITY is interested in updated/current traffic counts
that capture recent local and regional transportation projects in the area, an optional
service has been identified for Traffic Counts for 14 Intersections. Upon written
authorization, CONSULTANT will mobilize a reputed data collection firm to collect
intersection turning movement counts at the study intersection during the AM and PM
peak periods, including bicycle, pedestrian, bus and truck flows. Additional study
intersection counts/analysis beyond 14 is considered additional work,and scope/fee can
be provided upon request.
Field Visit: A field visit will be conducted to inventory existing geometrics and
operational characteristics at the study intersections. CONSULTANT will identify existing
deficiencies in the study intersections based on operational analysis and field visit.
Accident Experience:CONSULTANT will also obtain collision records in the study area for
the most recent three years available using the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records
System (SWITRS)and document the trends.

BKF#:20167083-10
October 11,2016 Dublin Blvd-North Canyons Pkwy Extension Project
c. Travel Forecasting
Preliminary Forecasts for Design Constraints: Prior to the model being fully prepared for
the detailed traffic analysis, CONSULTANT will run the model and provide preliminary
forecasts with the available demand model to identify design constraints early on (under
Task B)in order to help guide the preliminary design and minimize impacts.
Development of Future Traffic Volumes: CONSULTANT proposes to use the latest
version of the Alameda CTC Countywide travel demand model with a base year of 2015
and a long range future horizon of 2040 and utilizing the latest ABAG land use
Projections (Plan Bay Area). For consistency, CONSULTANT plans to use a version that
BART recently developed for the 1-580 BART Extension to Isabel Avenue DEIR; this will
provide a reasonable model validation in the study area, and conform to any network
and zone enhancements by the BART team.
Based on information gathered, CONSULTANT will verify that the model adequately
represents the general plans and approved/pending development projects particularly
within the study corridor by reviewing all relevant background reports. CONSULTANT
will work with CITY to determine appropriate local access to the new extension using
resources like the Dublin General Plan and Fallon Village EIR, together with other more
recent studies.
The model will be used to develop existing,2025 and Cumulative (2040) traffic volumes
and conditions on the roadway segments for no-project and plus-project scenarios. The
model will be reviewed to ensure it includes all the PDA's and matches the general plans
within the study area. CONSULTANT will review the traffic analysis zones (TAZ's) in the
study corridor to ensure they are small enough to provide reasonable traffic volumes at
local crossings to the new extension. If necessary, CONSULTANT will split TAZs in the
corridor to improve traffic loading at all cross streets.
The 2040 Cumulative no-project forecasting will need to include assumptions for the
BART to Livermore Extension (BLVX) in the model. Since the BLVX EIR is currently in
process, the team will coordinate with the BLVX team prior to finalizing the forecasting
assumptions. At a minimum, the team may opt to include the most conservative
assumptions for a BART extension, most likely an Express Bus alternative; this
determination will be assessed by the CONSULTANT and closely-coordinated with the
CITY prior to proceeding with forecasting,modeling, and operational analysis.
The transit network will be current and include all transit plans for LAVTA Wheels
service. The forecasts will account for transit and highway assumptions included in the
MTC RTP and Countywide Transportation Plan, including BART extensions and 1-580
Express Lanes.
Page 29 of 34
BKF#:20167083-10
October 11,2016 Dublin Blvd-North Canyons Pkwy Extension Project
CONSULTANT will also make incremental adjustments to the raw model forecasts to
minimize model error and improve the model prediction compared to counts. The
forecast task will include select link analysis to quantify local vs regional traffic
proportions and include sensitivity runs to ensure the traffic forecasts are reasonable
and not a product of model oscillation due to proximity to the freeway in a congested
corridor.
The validation and forecasts will be submitted electronically for review by the CITY.
CONSULTANT will then implement the model for the following horizon years and
scenarios:
Existing
Existing plus 4-lane project
2025 no-project
2025 plus 4-lane project
2040 no-project
2040 plus 4-lane project
2040 plus 6-lane project
In addition to the modeling, CONSULTANT will use a number of tools to verify the
forecasts,including:
Select link analysis will be conducted to quantify local versus regional traffic
proportions.
Volume difference graphics will identify diversion traffic from 1-580 and other
routes.
Sensitivity runs will be conducted between the no-project and project scenarios to
ensure the forecasts are reasonable and not the result of model assignment
oscillation.
Traffic results will be extracted at up to 14 intersections and key segments for AM, PM
and ADT time periods, and adjusted based on existing counts to minimize model error.
The final adjusted forecasts will be used in the traffic operations analysis to conduct
level of service and identify impacts and feasible mitigations. VMT and other measures
will also be extracted to quantify the performance of the project, to satisfy recent
legislation for SB 743, and provide inputs into the CEQA document and Air, Noise and
GHG analysis. Induced demand will be accounted for using the Alameda CTC model by
varying the trip distribution assumptions between the no-project and project forecasts.
This will capture any induced demand from Livermore/County or from the San Joaquin
valley as a result of the project. However,the team has agreed to maintain the land use
assumptions constant between the no-project and project scenarios. VMT outputs will
be consistent with the II,IX,XI,XX format per SB 743 and GHG analysis requirements and
will include outputs for all scenarios for 2015, 2020,2040.

SCOPE OF SERVICES – AMENDMENT FOR NEPA CLEARANCE
This scope of services, and the attached Summary of Scope and Hours, amends the current and ongoing
professional Civil, Environmental and Traffic Services provided by BKF Engineers (BKF), Circlepoint (CP),
and Kittelson Associates Inc (KAI) to provide National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental
clearance for the Dublin Boulevard-North Canyons Parkway Extension (Project).
The scope of services is specifically to provide the City of Dublin, in concert with the City of Livermore,
Alameda County, and Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC), with supplemental NEPA
environmental clearance for the Project, in conjunction with the ongoing California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) environmental clearance and preliminary engineering services, as specified in the
Consulting Services Agreement (CSA) Between the City of Dublin and BKF Engineers (November 1, 2016
Effective Date).
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), as assigned by FHWA, will be the lead oversight
agency for NEPA compliance for the Project. As a local agency Project pursuing and making itself eligible
for federal funding improvements “off” the State Highway System (SHS), Caltrans District 4, Office of
Local Assistance, will be responsible for approving the environmental documentation for NEPA
compliance. The NEPA process will adhere to Chapter 6, Environmental Procedures of the Local
Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM).
For the purposes of this scope of services and coordination, the City of Dublin in concert with the City of
Livermore, County of Alameda, and Alameda CTC, is herein referred to as CITY. For the purpose of
clarity and to show the relationship of the supplemental NEPA components as part of the CEQA process,
this scope of services has been broken down using the same format/task designation as the CSA.
A. TASK A: PROJECT COORDINATION
A.1 Stakeholder Coordination/Project Management –
As part of Project Management, BKF will coordinate and provide team leadership and general project
management services during the NEPA environmental clearance process. Management activities will
consist of project management, administration, invoicing/progress reports, coordination, attending
meetings (agenda, meeting minutes, and action logs), submittal logs, coordinating
comments/responses, and quality control.
BKF/CP, with input from the Department of Transportation (Caltrans), will establish a Project
Development Team (PDT) for this project. The purpose of the PDT meetings is to provide a forum to
share project information, identify critical issues, make decisions, assign project tasks, identify design
criteria, or other items critical to project delivery.

B. TASK B: PRELIMINARY R/W ANALYSIS & BASE MAPPING - Not Used
C. TASK C: PRELIMINARY DESIGN & COST ESTIMATE
As referenced in FHWA’s Environmental Review Toolkit for NEPA and Project Development, “all
reasonable alternatives, or the reasonable range of alternatives, should be considered and discussed at
a comparable level of detail to avoid any indication of a bias towards a particular alternative(s).” The
CSA for CEQA/preliminary engineering includes several alternatives related to traffic analysis, including
no-build, 4-lane, and 6 lane configurations. Similarly – the geometric design alternative development in
Task C includes exploring several alternatives related to cross section, alignment variations, and profiles.
However, the purpose and need of this project is the extension/connection of Dublin Boulevard and
North Canyons Parkway between Fallon Road and Doolan Road, which is limited to an alignment that
can vary, but connects/conforms at these current intersections termini locations.
As part of the NEPA environmental clearance, BKF has set aside budget to explore the identification,
consideration, and analysis of alternatives, including exploring and objectively evaluating reasonable
alternatives and for alternatives which are (or were) eliminated. Alternatives discussed will include the
CEQA alternatives studied in the traffic report, iterations developed, as well as reasonable alternative
not within the jurisdiction of the lead agency and no build/no action
TASK C Deliverables:
Documentation and narratives of the evaluation of reasonable alternatives in support of the
NEPA environmental clearance.
TASK C Assumptions:
Geometric design development, environmental clearance, and/or traffic operational analysis of
new geometric alignment alternatives that connect to locations other than the project termini
at Dublin Blvd/Fallon Rd and North Canyons Parkway/Doolan are excluded.
D. TASK D: PREPARE NEPA ANALYSIS
Preliminary Environmental Study (PES)
CP will complete Caltrans’ PES, which consists of two parts: 1) a four-step preliminary environmental
investigation, and 2) completion of the PES form. The preliminary environmental investigation includes
the following tasks:
1. The development of a complete project description which addresses independent utility and
logical termini, existing and proposed cross sections, and project map;
2. A review of relevant literature, maps and inventories;
3. A request for technical information from resource and regulatory agencies; and
4. Verification of research findings in the field (site visit), and field review with Caltrans staff.
August 18, 2017 Dublin Blvd-North Canyons Pkwy Extension Project
NEPA Environmental Clearance
Amendment No. 1
Exhibit A (Scope of Services)
Page 4 of 14
CP will complete the preliminary environmental investigation steps outlined above. Completion of the
PES environmental process is intended to provide Caltrans with the information needed to determine
the level of environmental documentation needed for NEPA compliance. All actions will be conducted
in accordance with Caltrans’ local assistance procedure manual (LAPM), Chapter 6.
An electronic administrative draft of the PES form prepared by CP will be submitted for review and
approval by the project team and CITY, prior to submitting to Caltrans. CP will revise the administrative
draft document based one consolidated set of comments received from the project team and/or the
CITY. CP will prepare the final PES (up to 15 printed copies) for the Caltrans field review meeting.
Technical Studies & Environmental Document
All deliverables completed under this task will conform to the SER and/or applicable federal, State, or
local guidelines and regulations. Assumptions on the level of documentation required are included,
where applicable. For the purposes of this scope of work, an Environmental Assessment (EA) leading to
a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) is assumed.
Technical Studies
The environmental technical studies discussed below will support the environmental document for the
Project. As noted above, the studies will be prepared in accordance with the guidance from Caltrans
(including the SER) and input from relevant resource agencies and local jurisdictions.
Per Caltrans guidelines, the technical studies must be completed and approved by Caltrans staff prior to
the commencement of the environmental document. An administrative draft of each technical study
will be submitted to Caltrans for review. It is assumed that a comment/resolution matrix will accompany
comments from Caltrans, so that a record of requested revisions is available for each technical study.
The project team will revise the technical study per Caltrans comments and complete the matrix
indicating how comments have been addressed. Individual meetings with Caltrans reviewers will be held
to address unresolved comments followed by the preparation of a final version of the technical study.
Four (4) standalone reports (technical studies) are currently being prepared for the Project as part of the
CSA. The budget for this scope of work assumes that the technical studies for the NEPA component will
build upon those scoped studies. The following additional services will be required to complete each
technical report to Caltrans standards listed below.
1. Biological Resources Report:
Natural Environmental Study (NES)
HT Harvey & Associates (HTH) will use the data collected for the EIR under the CSA
as the basis for preparing an NES per Caltrans guidelines. This NES will include a
description of the project, the biological resources present within the project area,
potential impacts on those resources, and mitigation measures for such impacts, as
August 18, 2017 Dublin Blvd-North Canyons Pkwy Extension Project
NEPA Environmental Clearance
Amendment No. 1
Exhibit A (Scope of Services)
Page 5 of 14
appropriate. The budget for this task assumes that much of the information in the
Biological Resources Report (currently being prepared for the EIR) can be used as
the basis for the NES analysis, and that this report, including impacts, would be
completed prior to the NES being drafted for optimal efficiency.
Biological Assessment
HTH will prepare a draft biological assessment (BA) document. The document will be
drafted according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) guidelines if the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will serve as Section 7 lead, or according to
Caltrans format guidelines if Caltrans will serve as the Section 7 lead. In either case,
the information presented will be the same, and the purpose of the document will
be conducting the Section 7 Consultation with the USFWS. The draft BA will be
submitted to CP for review. It is anticipated that the revisions to the draft BA will be
relatively minor. If significant revisions are required then additional budget would
be required. This task also includes time to respond to one set of comments from
Caltrans.
It is assumed that FESA Section 7 consultation will be conducted by the USACE or
Caltrans. However, during the consultation process, it is usual for the USACE or
Caltrans to need supporting documentation from the local agency. HTH has
assumed a moderate to high level of effort and coordination will be required to
address comments on biological resources issues. If the volume of comments is
higher than anticipated (i.e., exceeding the number of hours budgeted for this task),
a budget augmentation may be required.
Additional Biological Resources Report
Prior to a scoping discussion with Caltrans, it is unknown at this time whether the
following three additional service components may be required by Caltrans to
supplement the Biological Resources Reports. Potentially complicating things are
items discussed and mentioned at our prior Resource Agency Meetings, which
suggest certain aspects, such as jurisdictional delineation, protocol-level rare plant
surveys, and incidental take permit (ITP), may be needed regardless of NEPA
clearance. Based on these unknowns and to manage the risk, we have included the
following 3 tasks/services/reports into our scope and fee:
1. Incidental Take Permit
HTH will prepare a California Endangered Species Act (CESA) Section 2081
incidental take permit (ITP) application requesting take approval for the
California tiger salamander at the project site. The ITP application will include a
description of the project; background information regarding the California tiger
salamander and its potential occurrence and distribution on the project site; an
analysis of project impacts on this species; and proposed avoidance,
minimization, and compensatory mitigation measures.

Amendment No. 1
Exhibit A (Scope of Services)
Page 6 of 14
This task includes some time for HTH senior staff to coordinate with the CDFW
following submittal of the 2081 application, and to coordinate with the project
team and others as necessary regarding potential mitigation requirements.
Because the amount of coordination necessary to identify suitable mitigation
and obtain an ITP from the CDFW cannot be known at this time, additional
budget may be necessary if the required effort exceeds the hours listed in this
task in the attached budget spreadsheet. HTH has assumed that the only state-
listed species for which incidental take approval will be needed is the California
tiger salamander, although the potential for the San Joaquin kit fox to be
impacted by the Project will also be addressed.
During the ITP process it is usual for coordination to be required between the
applicant team and CDFW. HTH has assumed a moderate to high level of effort
will be required to address comments on biological resources issues and
determine mutually agreeable mitigation. If the volume of comments or degree
of coordination is higher than anticipated (i.e., exceeding the number of hours
budgeted for this task), a budget augmentation may be required.
2. Jurisdictional Delineation Report
HTH will conduct detailed field surveys for, and prepare a technical report
summarizing the methods and results of the field survey of regulated habitats.
This report will be prepared to report specifications developed by the USACE
and thus will be of sufficient detail for agency review and a jurisdictional
determination (in the case of the USACE). It will include a brief description of
existing conditions, description of field techniques employed in the delineation,
wetland data sheets, and copies of aerial photographs and maps that show the
extent of regulated habitats on the Project site. This report is an important
permit support document that is submitted to all applicable agencies as part of
the permit application materials.
Following the submittal of the wetland delineation report to the USACE, HTH
will meet with staff of the USACE on the project site to verify the delineation of
jurisdictional waters. Revisions will be made to the technical report and
accompanying maps, if necessary, after the site visit with USACE
representatives.
HTH has assumed additional time to coordinate with the USACE regarding
biological conditions (existing and proposed), as necessary.
3. Protocol-Level Rare Plant Surveys
Depending upon the results of the database review and site surveys for the
project, protocol-level surveys for special-status plants may be necessary. CP
anticipates a total of two to three site visits would be necessary to effectively
bracket the blooming periods of any species determined to potential occur on
August 18, 2017 Dublin Blvd-North Canyons Pkwy Extension Project

the Project site. If any special-status plants are located on the site, the number
of individuals found will be counted and the location surveyed via GPS. At the
conclusion of the field surveys, the results will be presented in a brief report
summarizing the survey methods and our observations.
2. Cultural Resources Assessment Report:
Area of Potential Effects Map
WSA will prepare both a horizontal and vertical Area of Potential Effects (APE) map
for the project that will be presented on a scaled map of the area, with individual
structures shown within the area of the APE. The APE maps must be approved and
signed by Caltrans as the Lead Agency prior to conducting any further cultural
resource studies. WSA will coordinate with the Caltrans District 4 to develop and
obtain approval of the requisite APE maps of the project area. For purposes of this
scope of work, WSA assumes that no historic (over 45 years of age) architectural
structures will be present in the horizontal APE. Caltrans typically requires
geomorphological analysis in the form of a geoarchaeological soils sensitivity map.
WSA will also prepare this map for inclusion in the ASR, as discussed below.
Records/Literature Search
As part of the EIR efforts, WSA has received the results of a records search
conducted for the project, using a ¼-mile radius surrounding the proposed project
alignment. Caltrans requires a radius of one mile as the records search buffer. To
meet this requirement, WSA will request the California Historical Resources
Information System, Northwest Information Center at Sonoma State University to
conduct a record search of the additional ¾-mile radius surrounding the horizontal
APE. All previous cultural resource surveys, known historic or prehistoric sites, and
listed or eligible National Register of Historic Places properties within the expanded
records search area will be identified. Copies of applicable site records and survey
reports will be made as necessary, and site locations will be plotted on USGS quad
sheets. State and local historic site inventories will also be reviewed to identify the
presence of any listed sites within the records search area. WSA will contact the
Alameda County Assessor’s office and the Alameda County Historical Society for
background pertinent to the historic development of the area.
Archaeological Survey
As part of the EIR process, and in accordance with CEQA Sections 15064.5 and
15126.4 and the requirements of Section 106, as a means of evaluating the
potential impacts to cultural resources, unless recently surveyed by qualified
archaeologists (as evidenced by a competent report on file at the NWIC), a WSA
archaeologist meeting federal criteria under 36 CFR 61 will conduct a pedestrian
archaeological survey of the project area. This is intended to be an intensive survey
of the project area conducted to meet the requirements of CEQA and Section 106.
The pedestrian survey conducted as part of the EIR will be used to evaluate
August 18, 2017 Dublin Blvd-North Canyons Pkwy Extension Project
NEPA Environmental Clearance
Amendment No. 1
Exhibit A (Scope of Services)
Page 8 of 14
potential project impacts to cultural resources for the NEPA document. For
purposes of this proposal, it is assumed that there are no architectural resources
over 45 years of age within the project area that will require documentation and
assessment, and that no previously recorded or newly discovered archaeological
resources will be identified either in the expanded records search or during the
survey. In compliance with requirements of Section 106, WSA will conduct periodic
shovel test probes along each survey transect to determine if there is any evidence
of subsurface deposits that is not readily apparent on the surface.
Report Preparation
As required under Caltrans guidelines; a Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR), an
Archaeological Survey Report (ASR), and all pertinent supporting documents will be
prepared describing the results of the records search and will include an
environmental, cultural and historical context section; the results of NAHC
consultation and the archaeological survey, and recommendations. For purposes of
this scope and cost, WSA assumes no architectural or built resources 45 years of age
or older will be identified within the APE and that preparation of a Historic
Resources Evaluation Report (HRER) will not be necessary. If preparation of the
HRER is required, it will be prepared under a contract amendment.
Upon acceptance of the final reports by Caltrans, one copy of each will be sent to
the NWIC, as required.
3. Air Quality/Greenhouse Gas Report/Energy:
Illingworth & Rodkin will use the data collected for the stand-alone air quality report
for the EIR as the basis for preparing an Air Quality Technical Report per Caltrans
guidelines. The Air Quality Technical Report will include a section on mobile source
air toxics (MSAT) and greenhouse gases (GHG). Illingworth & Rodkin will also
prepare the Air Quality Conformity Checklist that addresses ozone precursor,
Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5 and CO impacts per Caltrans guidance.
4. Noise Study Report:
Illingworth & Rodkin will use the data collected for the stand-alone noise report for
the EIR as the basis for preparing a Noise Study Report (NSR) per Caltrans guidelines.
The NSR will include a description of the project, the fundamentals of traffic noise, a
summary of the applicable regulations and policies, study methods and procedures,
a summary of the existing noise environment, a summary of the future predicated
noise environment, impacts, and considered abatement, and a discussion on
construction noise
In addition to the reports described above, the following additional technical studies
listed below may need to be completed.

5. Visual Resources:
CP will use the Caltrans’ Visual Impact Assessment Guide to determine what level of
visual impact analysis will be required for roadway extension improvements and will
prepare a Visual Resources Technical Memorandum to evaluate the aesthetic
compatibility of the proposed project with the surrounding area. Given that scale of
the roadway, the improvements are likely to score a “noticeable visual change” to
the physical character of the area, an abbreviated Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) is
likely the appropriate level of reporting. The assessment would briefly describe the
project features, impacts and any avoidance and minimization measures. Visual
simulations would be optional.
6. Community Impact Report:
CP will prepare a community impact report (CIA) that documents any necessary
right-of-way acquisitions, temporary easements, and/or utility relocations that
would be required as part of the project, as well as growth. The CIA will document
how the project is not physically dividing a community or having disproportionate
impacts on environmental justice communities. CP will work closely with BKF to
determine if any potential displacements would be required as part of the project.
If displacements were to occur, the CIA would analyze impacts related to relocation
and displacement, in coordination with Caltrans. The analysis would include a
discussion of the characteristics of the existing housing stock and business
establishments in the affected area.
7. Section 4(f) No Effect Memorandum:
CP will prepare a No Effects Memorandum to document any resources protected
under Section 4(f) in the vicinity of the project. CP assumes this to be a simple
Section 4(f) No Effect memo as no “use” of a Section 4(f) resource is anticipated.
8. Environmental Commitment Record:
CP will prepare the Caltrans Environmental Commitment Record (ECR) form that
documents all standard avoidance measures that would be implemented as part of
the project (i.e., restrictions on construction period noise, etc.). The ECR serves as a
tool for tracking environmental commitments that need to be incorporated into the
construction bid package for the project.

Exhibit A (Scope of Services)
Page 10 of 14
In addition to the previous 5 technical studies described above, the additional technical studies may
need to be completed.
9. Preliminary Hydraulics Analysis Memorandum:
A preliminary hydraulic analysis memorandum will be prepared by BKF, which
covers the project’s preliminary drainage and hydraulic components including
floodplain, location hydraulic study (as needed). A separate hydraulic/
hydromodification impact study is not anticipated to be required as part of the
NEPA, and is excluded.
10. Water Quality Memorandum:
A water quality memo will be prepared by BKF, evaluating construction and
operational related water quality and hydrology impacts. The memo will be based
on the preliminary hydraulics analysis memorandum, and will primarily evaluate and
focus on construction related impacts to water quality and prescribe BMPs to make
construction impacts less than significant.
11. Geotechnical Memorandum:
In support of the NEPA, Geocon will perform a feasibility-level review to evaluate
the background geologic setting along the proposed roadway extension and identify
geotechnical constraints that may impact the project. The study will include a site
reconnaissance, document review and preparation of formal letter/memorandum
report. The scope includes:
Review relevant project information provided by BKF, the City of Dublin, the City
of Livermore or Alameda County
Review geotechnical and geologic reports, aerial photographs (including
stereoscopic pairs, if readily-available through local vendors), and other data in
our files.
Perform a site reconnaissance to observe surface conditions along the
alignment with particular attention paid to the apparent stability of existing
slopes and creek banks.
Prepare a formal letter/memorandum report with preliminary opinions on the
geotechnical feasibility of the project, potential geotechnical constraints and
geologic hazards to the project, and recommendations for the scope of design-
level geotechnical studies and/or geologic hazard evaluations.
Existing information will be reviewed, and although no field exploration work is
proposed for this phase, a site review and data research will be conducted. The
geotechnical memorandum will define the general site soil, rock, and groundwater
conditions, implications/issues pertaining to project planning and design, and
provide preliminary design criteria and recommendation for necessary
investigations for design.

12. Hazardous Waste Technical Memorandum/Initial Site Assessment (ISA) Phase I:
The purpose of the Hazardous Waste Technical Memorandum or ISA Phase I will be
to provide a general evaluation of soil or groundwater contamination conditions
along the Project route that could potentially impact the Project, as well as to
evaluate the potential impacts associated with the project itself. The work is
designed to identify the presence of known contaminated sites in the Project
vicinity listed on the State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB) GeoTracker
website or other regulatory agency databases. Investigation do not include any soil,
groundwater, or other hazardous materials sampling and analysis. The Hazardous
Waste Technical Memo/ISA Phase I would also identify additional investigations
recommended to be performed during the final design phase.
13. Traffic Operations - See Task E Below
Environmental Documentation
The EA will be prepared, circulated, and finalized in combination with the CEQA EIR currently
being prepared for the CITY as part of the CSA.
Summaries of the technical reports and other analyses will form the basis for the environmental
document. The format and content of the EIR/EA will be in accordance with Caltrans SER and
Environmental Handbook, and FHWA Technical Advisory T6640.8A and follow the
Caltrans/FHWA annotated outline for joint EIR/EA documents. The team also will use Caltrans
and FHWA QA/QC checklists to ensure the EIR/EA is complete and consistent with all state and
federal requirements. The City will review the administrative draft EIR/EA before it is provided
to Caltrans for review. Administrative versions will be provided to Caltrans for review after the
City completes its review and authorizes release to Caltrans.
EIR/EA for Public Review: Following reviews by Caltrans, a screencheck version will be prepared
for approval by the City and Caltrans to circulate.
Comments and Final EIR/EA: Upon completion of the public review period, CP will collect all
comment letters received and prepare responses to each substantive comment. If necessary,
revisions to the text of the EIR/EA will be made in response to the comments received.
Additions and other modifications to the text shall be marked with a vertical line on the outside
margin for review purposes.
The final Mitigation Monitoring Plan and Permits, Approvals and Mitigation (PAM) form will be
included in the final EIR/EA.

Task D Assumptions:
In formulating our cost estimate, we assumed the following:
Except as noted above, no focused or protocol-level surveys are included in the proposed scope
of work.
A separate tree survey is not included in this proposed scope of work, however, the trees on the
site will be surveyed and evaluated for the purposes of CEQA analysis in the EIR as part of the
CSA.
Mitigation measures to be described in the technical reports and environmental document will
be of sufficient detail for NEPA review purposes. However, preparation of detailed habitat
mitigation plans, should such plans be necessary in the future, and identification of specific
mitigation sites (e.g., for impacts to special-status species’ habitat) is not included within the
currently proposed scope.
No permitting or resource agency coordination is included in this scope of work.
This scope of work does not include conditions of agency permits and approvals, including the
biological opinion and ITP that result in survey or monitoring needs.
It is assumed Caltrans will provide copies of cultural reports to SHPO.
Responding to two rounds of comments from Caltrans staff is assumed; excessive coordination
and multiple rounds of comments will be considered additional work; however, a contingency
budget has been added to the attached Summary of Scope and Hours to cover the possibility of
costs of additional reviews and other unforeseen circumstances.
The scope of work builds upon the EIR currently being prepared for the CITY as part of the CSA.
Geometric design development, environmental clearance, and/or traffic operational analysis of
new geometric alignment alternatives that connect to locations other than the project termini
at Dublin Blvd/Fallon Rd and North Canyons Parkway/Doolan are excluded.
A separate Relocation Impact Report is excluded from this scope of services.

TASK E: TRAFFIC STUDY
Since the Project is not on the SHS, a Caltrans-format Transportation Operations Analysis Report (TOAR)
is not anticipated or required as part of the NEPA clearance. The current scoped CEQA EIR Traffic Study
is assumed to satisfy NEPA traffic analysis requirements in its current format and scope, including
providing comparable operational analysis/details for all project alternatives, which includes the
following horizon years and scenarios:
Existing
Existing plus 4-lane project
2025 no-project
2025 plus 4-lane project
2040 no-project
2040 plus 4-lane project
2040 plus 6-lane project
However, in case minor alternations, adjustments, or traffic operational services are needed, a small
budget has been identified for KAI to participate in 2 meetings, provide consultation, and supplement
the CEQA EIR Traffic Study to address formatting and minor traffic operational discussions to comply
with NEPA
Task E Deliverables:
None
Task E Assumptions:
Geometric design development, environmental clearance, and/or traffic operational analysis of
new geometric alignment alternatives that connect to locations other than the project termini
at Dublin Blvd/Fallon Rd and North Canyons Parkway/Doolan are excluded.
A separate TOAR will not be required. The Traffic Study, as scoped in the CSA, will satisfy
Caltrans and NEPA Traffic Operational requirements
Contingency Budget:
Unforeseen circumstances can arise throughout the environmental and design process that require
additional services. These circumstances include changes to the project description, new information
discovered during scoping or background literature search, extensive public input, and delays in the
project schedule. Additionally, Caltrans may request additional services for NEPA clearance or require
additional rounds of technical report review. Although we strive to maintain budget according to the
originally agreed upon contract and scope, these circumstances can inefficiently consume the project
budget. For these reasons, we are conservatively included a 20% contingency budget to help manage the
unforeseen circumstances. This contingency would not be available for use unless we have written
consent by the City. Establishing a contingency budget upfront in the process allows for minimal
disruptions to the schedule if the need were to arise.

Schedule:
Overall, BKF/CP believe the process to complete the supplemental NEPA environmental clearance will
have some impacts to the original CEQA Milestone Schedule under the CSA. Generally speaking, it is
anticipated that the process will add time to supplement the stand-alone and new NEPA technical
studies/reports. The schedule is related to the process for which allows publishing the DEIR/EA; all NEPA
technical studies/reports must be approved/signed by Caltrans before proceeding, and m ay involve some
iterations prior to approval. Additionally - the schedule can be affected by Caltrans scope requirements
which will be determined early-on during the kick-off meeting and PES Field Review process; some of the
optional services may be called-upon. However, in consideration of some additional time during the DED
phase and some iterations prior to the publishing of the DEIR/EA, the remainder of the
tasks/schedule/durations presented in the CSA are approximately the same, and therefore result in a
projected environmental clearance in Fall 2018 (instead of late Spring 2018).

❑ Vehicle Registration Fee
RECITALS
A. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the provisions of the Bay Area County Traffic
and Transportation Funding Act, Public Utilities Code Section 131000, et seq., approved Measure B at the
General Election held in November 1986, authorizing the collection of a one -half cent transaction and use
tax over a fifteen (15) -year period to address major transportation needs and congestion in Alameda County
and giving Alameda County Transportation Authority ( "ACTA ") the responsibility for the administration of
the proceeds of the tax along with other funds. The proceeds from the 1986 Measure B tax will be used to
pay for investments as outlined in the 1986 Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan ( "1986 TEP "),
as it may be amended. Although collection of the 1986 Measure B tax ceased in 2002, a number of capital
projects funded wholly or in part by 1986 Measure B funds will not be completed until 2018 or later.
B. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the provisions of the Local Transportation
Authority and Improvement Act, Public Utilities Code Section 180000, et seq., approved the reauthorization
of Measure B at the General Election held on November 7, 2000, authorizing the collection of a one -half
cent transaction and use tax that will be collected for twenty (20) years beginning April 1, 2002 and giving
Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority ( "ACTIA ") responsibility for the administration of
the proceeds of the tax along with other funds. The proceeds from the 2000 Measure B tax will be used to
pay for investments as outlined in the 2000 Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan ( "2000 TEP "),
as it may be amended.
C. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to Section 65089.20 of the Government Code,
approved Measure F, the Vehicle Registration Fee ( "VRF "), authorizing Alameda County Congestion
Management Agency ( "ACCMA ") to administer the proceeds from a $10 per year vehicle registration fee on

each annual motor - vehicle registration or renewal of registration in Alameda County, starting in May 2011, six
months following approval of Measure F. Vehicles subject to the VRF include all motorized vehicles,
including passenger cars, light -duty trucks, medium -duty trucks, heavy -duty trucks, buses of all sizes,
motorcycles, and motorized camper homes, unless vehicles are expressly exempted from the payment of the
VRF.
D. By resolutions adopted by the ACTA and ACTIA Boards on June 24, 2010, all of ACTA's
functions and responsibilities were assigned to, and accepted by, ACTIA. On that same date, the ACTIA and
ACCMA Boards took the final actions to create ALAMEDA CTC, a joint powers authority with all
responsibilities of ACTIA and ACCMA. Pursuant to resolutions adopted by the ACTIA and ACCMA
Boards and the Commission of ALAMEDA CTC, ACCMA and ACTIA were terminated as of the close of
business on February 29, 2012, with ALAMEDA CTC designated as the successor entity. All of its
predecessors' functions and responsibilities have been assigned to, and accepted by, ALAMEDA CTC.
E. The voters of Alameda County, pursuant to the provisions of the Local Transportation
Authority and Improvement Act, California Public Utilities Code Section 180000 et seq., approved Measure
BB at the General Election held on November 4, 2014, authorizing the extension of an existing one -half of
one percent transaction and use tax scheduled to terminate on March 31, 2022, and the augmentation of the
tax by one -half of one percent, and giving ALAMEDA CTC responsibility for the administration of the
proceeds of the 2014 Measure BB tax. The duration of the 2014 Measure BB tax will be 30 years from the
initial year of collection, which began April 1, 2015, with said tax to terminate/ expire on March 31, 2045. The
proceeds from the 2014 Measure BB will be used to pay for investments as outlined in the 2014 Alameda
County Transportation Expenditure Plan ( "2014 TEP "), as it may be amended.
F. As the Transportation Fund for Clean Air ( "TFCA ") Program Manager in Alameda County,
ALAMEDA CTC annually programs 40 percent of the TFCA funds collected in Alameda County. ALAMEDA
CTC will receive these funds from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD "), and will
then reimburse these funds to eligible project sponsors.
G. ALAMEDA CTC is continuing the implementation of the CMA Exchange Program, originally
established by the ACCMA, for the purpose of providing local or otherwise unrestricted funds to ALAMEDA
CTC for use in projects and programs adopted into the CMA Transportation Improvement Program ( "CMA
TIP ") by ALAMEDA CTC.
H. The funding programs administered by ALAMEDA CTC and available for projects and
programs that benefit the Alameda County transportation system, consisting of 1986 Measure B, 2000
Measure B, 2014 Measure BB, VRF, TFCA, and CMA TIP, are collectively defined as and shall be referenced
as the "ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS" herein.
Direct Local Distribution ( "DLD ") funding distributed pursuant to 2000 Measure B, VRF and 2014
Measure BB is covered by separate agreements between ALAMEDA CTC and DLD recipients.

4. Funds expended for work directly related to the phases of the PROJECT covered by this
AGREEMENT prior to the applicable allowable start date identified in Appendix B: Alameda CTC
Administered Funds Obligated by this Agreement will not be considered for reimbursement pursuant to this

Control Information, to be funded by ALAMEDA CTC as shown in Appendix B: Alameda CTC Administered
Funds Obligated by this Agreement.
5. ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS obligated by this AGREEMENT are subject to fund

such expenditures, PROJECT SPONSOR shall (i) report the total expenditures during the reimbursement
period, (ii) indicate the percentage of the total expenditures for the phase expected to be funded by
ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS obligated by this AGREEMENT, and (iii) request reimbursement for

PROJECT SPONSOR based on the percentage that the PROJECT cost bears to ALAMEDA CTC's overall TFCA
program revenue total until such time full funding is available.
13. ALAMEDA CTC approval of PROJECT SPONSOR submitted Requests for Reimbursement will
be contingent on the submittal of progress reports and deliverables by PROJECT SPONSOR as required by this
AGREEMENT. In the event that progress reports and deliverables are not complete and current, approval of
Requests for Reimbursement shall be withheld until an acceptable remedy has been implemented and
approved by ALAMEDA CTC. If PROJECT SPONSOR fails to submit the required deliverables or otherwise fails

from the PROJECT and this AGREEMENT. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any
such action, ALAMEDA CTC will endeavor to notify PROJECT SPONSOR in writing that the required
deliverables, invoicing and reporting is overdue.
14. Request for Reimbursements submitted after the Agreement Expiration Date identified on

the real estate which is the subject of the Right -of -Way transaction in question. The parties agree that Section
III.16(a) through Section III.16(f), the provisions of which are intended to provide further detail regarding
the application of such Policies, shall govern the extent to which such repayment is required and the

equal 100 %); any appraisal required under Section III.16(a) and Section III.16(f) only, shall be conducted at
no cost to ALAMEDA CTC; "Fair Market Value" of a given property shall mean the net proceeds from the
sale of such property if such sale occurs in an open market transaction or by auction, or the value of the
property determined by an independent third -party appraisal of the property if some or all of the property is
retained by PROJECT SPONSOR or otherwise transferred to any other party without an auction or open market
transaction; and "CPI" means the Consumer Price Index, All Items for All Urban Consumers, San Francisco-
Oakland, San Jose, CA.
a. If any property is acquired for the PROJECT using ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS
to finance some or all of the acquisition, and the PROJECT is cancelled or otherwise does not
begin construction within three (3) years after the effective date of AGREEMENT (as such
deadline may be extended by agreement between the parties hereto), then PROJECT
SPONSOR shall, within one (1) year after such cancellation decision or the expiration of such
three (3) year period, reimburse ALAMEDA CTC for the greater of the following: ALAMEDA
CTC Share of the property's Fair Market Value or the full amount of ALAMEDA CTC
ADMINISTERED FUNDS used to acquire the property, as escalated by the increase in the CPI
during the most recent period for which CPI data is available which is equal in length to the
period between the date ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS were paid to PROJECT
SPONSOR and the date reimbursement is made to ALAMEDA CTC.
b. If any property is acquired for the PROJECT using ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS
to finance some or all of the acquisition and only a portion of the acquired property is
required for the PROJECT, and if the PROJECT begins construction within three (3) years

FUNDS if the entirety of the acquired property is required for the PROJECT.
d. If PROJECT SPONSOR anticipates receiving net revenues (i.e., rental or other income
generated by the property, less reasonable costs for insurance, maintenance and related
items) from any property acquired using ALAMEDA CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS, PROJECT
SPONSOR shall notify ALAMEDA CTC on how PROJECT SPONSOR will use such revenue to
offset other project costs, and document such revenue separately in project reimbursement
requests.
e. If PROJECT is suspended, PROJECT SPONSOR shall pay all property management costs.
f. Property that is required for the PROJECT and acquired wholly or in part with ALAMEDA
CTC ADMINISTERED FUNDS shall be available for PROJECT construction within ten (10)

ALAMEDA CTC the difference between the amount reimbursed and ALAMEDA CTC Share of the amount
settled plus ALAMEDA CTC Share of the interest accrued to the deposit account.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project Title: Dublin Boulevard — North Canyons Parkway Extension
Project Description:
Dublin Boulevard - North Canyons Parkway Extension project would extend Dublin Boulevard in Dublin at its current
terminus at Fallon Road to North Canyons Parkway in Livermore. The new extended street is planned to have 4 to 6
travel lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks, curb and gutter, traffic signals /roundabouts, a raised median, bus stops, and all street
utilities. This project will consider the provision of dedicated transit lanes in addition to the mixed flow travel lanes for
higher level of transit service with 10 to 20 minute headways during appropriate peak demand periods.
This project will also require enhanced multimodal connectivity to various land uses along its stretch and at its terminus,
including connectivity to five Priority Development Areas (PDAs). While addressing Sustainable Communities
Strategies, circulation inside and outside the PDAs will need to be incorporated as part of the design.

PROJECT PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Project Performance Measures: The Project Performance Measures and Targets describes what outcome -
based performance measure(s) the PROJECT SPONSOR plans to evaluate to ensure that the project /program is
meeting its objectives.
Project Performance Measures and Targets
Performance Measure Target
General Transportation Benefits:
• Provides missing direct connectivity to 5 designated Priority Development Areas (PDAs) in the
Cities of Dublin and Livermore. Five PDAs in two Cities contain over 9,000 dwelling units and more
than 2.5 million Sq -Ft of commercial uses.
• Provides missing direct connectivity to two BART stations; Camp Parks; Iron Horse Trail;
downtowns of Dublin and Livermore; Las Positas College; and various residential and commercial
land uses. Las Positas College enrolls approximately 8,500 students.
• Addresses lack of continuous I -580 reliever route from Dublin to Livermore along the north side of
I -580.
Project Outcomes:
• Create direct connectivity to five PDAs in Dublin and Livermore, and also connect to two BART
stations; Camp Parks; Iron Horse Trail; downtowns of Dublin and Livermore; Las Positas College;
and various residential and commercial lands outside the PDAs. Las Positas College enrolls 8,500
students.
• This project would reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled in the region. Due to being within 1/4 mile from
I -580 and able to access various land uses, this roadway extension project is expected to reduce trip
lengths by diverting localized inter -city trips from the freeway.
• Extend the reliever route. This street extension will extend the existing reliever along the north side
of I -580 from San Ramon Road /Foothill Road to State Route 84 at Isabel /I -580 interchange.
Note:
1. Improvements are expected to achieve, as best as possible, the performance measures targets and /or project outcomes as
established herein.
