EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES-City of Dublin Green Infrastructure/Stormwater Resource Plan Contract
Amendment
Current Contract:
The tasks not completed for the current contract include: Task 9 — Analysis of Stormwater
Capture Project Feasibility, and Task 10 — Project Management. Geosyntec has not performed
the desktop analysis to examine the feasibility of implementing stormwater capture projects in
the City, as this analysis is anticipated to be partially conducted through parallel efforts by the
Alameda County Clean Water Program (ACCWP) and the EPA grant-funded SFEI "Preparing
for the Storm" project. Once the extent of other efforts is known, Geosyntec will perform
additional analyses needed to complete the stormwater capture feasibility tasks and associated
project management for the City of Dublin as part of this amended contract.
Amended Contract Tasks
Tasks to be performed under the amended contract are summarized following. Tasks are
numbered 11 — 20 to distinguish tasks from the previous contract. Tasks 18 — 20 are considered
optional at this time and will be performed if directed by the City of Dublin.
Task 11: PCBs Source Property Referrals and Self-Abatement Reports
Geosyntec will assist the City of Dublin in completing a PCBs source property referral process
or self-abatement report for up to three sites. Geosyntec will utilize information from City of
Dublin to complete the source property referral form for each source property. Geosyntec will
conduct one site visit to each referral site to investigate the need and options for enhanced
operations and maintenance measures associated with the source property referral. Geosyntec
will discuss the options for enhanced operations and maintenance prior to completing the
referral form. Geosyntec will participate on conference calls with the San Francisco Bay
Regional Water Quality Control Board as needed to discuss the site referral.
For self-abatement reports, Geosyntec will gather information that is available on the site from
the City of Dublin and publicly-available data to complete the Self-Abatement Report form.
Assumptions:
• No monitoring will be conducted by Geosyntec.
• City staff will accompany Geosyntec staff to assess the need and options for enhanced
operations and maintenance measures at each referral site.
• Assumes an average of 10 labor hours per site.
Deliverables:
• One draft and one final source property referral form or self-abatement report for up to
three sites.
August 2017
Task 12: Alternative Compliance Program Assistance
Geosyntec will assist the City of Dublin to develop an Alternative Compliance Program. As part
of this task, Geosyntec will prepare a short handbook to describe the Alternative Compliance
Program. The handbook will include:

of the MRP requirements, including time frames.
2. Development of a formula to calculate In-Lieu fees.
3. A flow chart describing the process to demonstrate Alternative Compliance, either
through Option 1 (LID Treatment at an Offsite Location) or Option 2 (Payment of In-Lieu
fees).
4. Text accompanying the flow chart to describe the Alternative Compliance steps in
additional detail.
5. Two worksheets — one used to demonstrate Alternative Compliance through Option 1;
one used to demonstrate Alternative Compliance through Option 2 and calculate the
required In-Lieu fees.

Task 15: Conceptual Plans for Green Infrastructure for Capital Improvement Plan
Projects
Geosyntec will review up to six (6) Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects provided by the City
of Dublin for feasibility for implementation of green infrastructure as part of the CIP project.
Geosyntec will conduct the feasibility assessment using a combination of desktop and visual
field review. Geosyntec will prepare a brief memo describing the findings of the feasibility
assessment, including a photo log as applicable. For those CIP projects that are found to be
feasible, Geosyntec will size and site green infrastructure measures for inclusion in the CIP
project. Geosyntec will prepare conceptual designs for the green infrastructure component (i.e.,
10% designs) for the selected projects. Conceptual designs will include a plan-view aerial or
layout (provided by the City of Dublin) of the project, and will identify stormwater drainage areas,
flow direction (as observed visually in the field and identified through available topography data),
locations for green infrastructure sized per the MRP requirements, and locations of green
infrastructure outlet tie-ins to the storm drain system. The City of Dublin standard green
infrastructure detail(s) best suited for the project (if applicable) will be identified and attached to
the conceptual design plan layout.
Geosyntec will also conduct cost estimates for each of the conceptual designs developed,
including a life cycle assessment. Geosyntec will prepare a brief memo to describe the method
and findings of the cost estimates.
Assumptions:
• Geosyntec will conduct one (1) full day field visit to visually examine all the selected CIP
project sites (up to six (6) sites).
• Feasibility will be based on a desktop review of sites using available GIS data, as well as
the visual assessment in the field.
• The conceptual design task will not include more intensive field assessment, including
but not limited to: surveying, borings, or infiltration testing, although these services can
be provided with additional scope and budget.
