DESCRIPTION: Over the past several months Alameda County has been preparing a environmental analysis of the proposed East County GOvernment Center and Juvenile Justice Facility to be located on Gleason Road between Arnold and Madigan Roads. In February 2002 the County held two scoping workshops to introduce preliminary plans to the community and affected agencies and to solicit comments on the proposal. Using the information gained from public and agency input, the County is currently involved in preparing a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) which will examine the environmental impacts of the proposed project. The DEIR/DEIS is anticipated to be released this summer. According to the Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City of Dublin is a Responsible Agency for the proposed East County Government Center and Juvenile Justice Facility. In this capacity, the City of Dublin is required to comply with CEQA by considering the EIR/EIS that is being prepared by the lead agency. Prior to acting on the Site Development Review application, which is anticipated to be submitted in the next couple of months, the City of Dublin shall consider the environmental effects of the COPIES TO: Consultant In House Distribution G:\CONTRACTS\StaffReport and Contract for Jerry Haag - DEIR Juvenile Hall Consultant.doc ~ L f ITEM NO. project as shown in the EIR/EIS. The City will also be required to make findings with respect to feasible mitigation measures and alternatives. Specifically, CEQA guidelines section 15096(g)(2) states that "when an EIR has been prepared for a project, the Responsible Agency shall not approve the project as proposed if the agency finds any feasible alternative or feasible mitigation measures within its powers that would substantially lessen or avoid any significant effect the project would have on the environment." As a Responsible Agency for the East County Government Center and Juvenile Justice Facility project, the City of Dublin plays an important role and is committed to ensuring that the best interests of the community are represented. In a February 21, 2002 letter to the County and Department of Justice, the Community Development Director outlined the City's concerns about the potential impacts of the proposed project on the health, safety, and welfare of City residents and businesses, including impacts on public safety of neighboring residents and employees. Because of the size and scope of the East County Government Center and Juvenile Justice Facility project, it will be very important that the City conduct a very detailed and thorough review of the Draft Environmental Impact Report/ Environmental Impact Statement when it is released. Staff met with several environmental consulting firms to discuss the scope of the project. After these discussions, it was concluded that Mr. Haag's firm would provide the comprehensive approach to this project that the City desired. The enclosed Scope of Work from Mr. Haag includes a critical review of issues ranging from aesthetics to traffic to the compatibility of land neighboring land uses and the preparation of a comment letter to the County on how successfully the draft document has addressed these issues. Mr. Haag will do much of the review himself and will also be sub-contracting to several professionals in their field who will complete a detailed analysis of traffic, geotechnical and hazardous materials, biological resources, and the economic and fiscal impacts of the proposed development. Mr. Haag has prepared and analyzed a number of different environmental documents for the City of Dublin on previous projects and is very familiar with the City and Eastern Dublin' in particular. Staff believes that this in depth knowledge of the issues facing Eastern Dublin will be very beneficial when it comes to reviewing the DEIR/DEIS of the East County Government Center and Juvenile Justice Facility project. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council to approve the contract with Jerry Haag to conduct the review and prepare comments on the Draft and Final versions of the Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed East County Government Center and Juvenile Justice Facility, based on his bid amount of $32,260, and authorize the Community Development Director to sign the agreement on behalf of the City.

Silver, City Attorney G:K2ONTRACTS",Staff Report and Contract tbr Je~ry Hang - DEIR Juvenile Hall Consultant. doc Consulting Services Agreement between May 21, 2002 City of Dublin and Jerry Hang Page 13 of 13 EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF SERVICES April 1, 2002 Revised May 2, 2002 Ms. Jeri Ram, AICP Planning Manager City of Dublin 100 Civic Plaza Dublin CA 94568 Subject: Proposal- Review of Alameda County Environmental Documentation Dear Ms. Ram: Thank you for contacting me regarding assisting the City of Dublin to conduct a thorough review of the environmental document currently being prepared by Alameda County for a proposed Justice Center/Juvenile Hall development in the Eastern Dublin area. This project has been under consideration for over a year now and the City has continued to express a wide range of concerns to the County. Review of the combined CEQA/NEPA document represents one the best avenues for making the City's concerns known to the County. The proposal includes an approach to the project, scope of work, budget and qualification information. Assisting me will be the firm of Fehr & Peers, an East Bay-based transportation planning and traffic engineering firm and LSA Associates for review of biological issues. Assistance regarding legal issues will be provided by Meyers, Nave, Riback, Silver and Wilson, the City's contract attorneys. Review of geotechnical and hazardous materials section of the environmental document will be undertaken by Treadwell & Rollo, based in San Francisco. Applied Development Economics (ADE) will review economic and fiscal information provided in the document. Project Understanding and Approach For over a year, Alameda County has been planning the development of a major new Government Center to include court house space and a 420 bed juvenile detention facility. Claims have been made that the current juvenile facility in San Leandro is jeopardized by potential geotechnical constraints. The City of Dublin has made repeated attempts through the normal process to request the County find another site for this major facility or perhaps reduce its size and scale. At the present time, the County Board of Supervisors have overridden objections from the Dublin City Council as well as pleas from Dublin residents who live in neighborhoods near the proposed facility. A number of youth groups have also offered spirited objections to the Exhibit A: Proposal from Consultant and Scope of Work May 21, 2002 Consultant Services Contract between the City of Dublin and Jerry Haag Page 1 proposal, noting that monies earmarked for the facility could be better used to. divert "at risk" youth from the justice system. Alameda County has therefore commissioned the firm of Lamphier-Gregory to prepare a combined EIR/EIS to address the potential environmental concerns of the proposed project. Since a grant application has been made to the U.S. Department of Justice, NEPA must be satisfied as well as CEQA. Scope of Work The scope of work includes: 1) Project Review This will include a complete review of the County's proposal, including a review of current project plans and a site visit to determine existing site conditions. At the discretion of staff, interviews can be arranged with City elected and appointed officials .to identify the full array of concerns expressed to them by local residents. 2) Review of Environmental Documentation The combined CEQA/NEPA document presently being prepared by Larnphier-Gregory will be reviewed after public release. A thorough critical review would then be undertaken of each component of the document, examining: · Project Description: Has the project been fully described? Does it reveal all the aspects of the proposed project needed for review, including project build-out and phasing, objectives, project context, project history and needed follow-on approvals by the City of Dublin and other agencies, such as State Water Resources Control Board and others? · Aesthetics and Light and Glare: Although the project site is located adjacent to existing governmental facilities, has the document adequately addressed aesthetics impacts to nearby homes in Dublin? The proposed County complex would place major institutional facilities across Gleason Boulevard from existing residences with associated aesthetics and light and glare impacts. · Air Quality: It is very likely that significant amounts of new traffic would be generated by the project, which would increase the amount of auto-related local and long-term air emissions. In the past, 'such major projects have resulted in major cumulative impacts that cannot be mitigated (see the Dublin Transit Center EIR). · Biological Resources: This discussion will focus on the project's contribution to cumulative loss of habitat and foraging areas for special-status birds and other species. Work will be completed by LSA Associates. · Cultural Resources: Since the site lies in flat lands near a major creek (Tassajara Creek), the likelihood is high that the site was occupied by Native Americans and perhaps pre- historic peoples. The level of investigation presented in the environmental document Exhibit A: Proposal from Consultant and Scope of Work May 21,2002 Consultant Services Contract between the City of Dublin and Jerry Haag Page 2 will be reviewed to determine if recent on-site investigations were undertaken, or simply a secondary records search undertaken. · Geology and Geologic Hazards: Treadwell & Rollo will review this section of the document to confirm basic assumptions used are supportable and reasonable. · Hazards: Since the project area is located on the site of a former governmental installation, it is likely that either the soil or underlying groundwater (or both) have been contaminated by previous actions. Since the site is proposed for essentially residential land uses, a relatively high' standard of remediation may be required. This will be investigated by the firm of Treadwell & Rollo. A related topic is emergency response time and evacuation routes through Eastern Dublin. With the increasingly high population at federal and county correctional facilities north of the site, removing a large number of residents could be a significant environmental issue. The evacuation issue will be reviewed with members of the Fire Department. · Hydrology: Many projects in Eastem Dublin, including the Sybase project just south of the proposed project site, received intense scrutiny from the Regional Water Quality Control Board to ensure that Best Management Practices will be followed. Since the project site will of equal of greater size than Sybase, this issue will need to be investigated. It also appears that a major environmental issue in the Tri-Valley is salt loading within the Main Basin as monitored and regulated by Zone 7. Staff of Zone 7 will be contacted to determine if salt loading will be a critical issue for this project as well. · Land Use and Planning: A significant amount of time will be devoted to reviewing policies and goals contained in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and General Plan to determine consistency of the project with this regulatory document. Consistency with these goals and policies could be significant for determining approval of a future SDR application that must be filed by the County in accord with pre-annexation agreements. A related land use topic is neighborhood compatibility. The project site lies immediately north of residences within Dublin. Proposed mitigation measures offered in County environmental documentation will be carefully reviewed to determine if they will be adequate to protect neighbors. · Noise: Increased long-term noise levels on adjacent residences and the entire neighborhood related to traffic increases will be reviewed and mitigation measures reviewed to determine their significance. · Public Services and Utilities: It is fully anticipated that the County sponsored document will analyze impacts of the project to community and public services providers, including but not limited to police, fire, road maintenance, water, sewer, storm drain facilities, power and others. Conclusions reached in the County document will be cross- checked by topic to determine if any possibility exists that impacts may have been understated or that mitigation measures were not included. It is anticipated that the Exhibit A: Proposal from Consultant and Scope of Work May 21, 2002 Consultant Services Contract between the City of Dublin and Jerry Haag Page 3 Dublin Public Works Department will be consulted with regard to road maintenance and storm drain issues. · Traffic and Transportation: Fehr & Peers will carefully review the traffic section of the EIR/EIS to ensure that reasonable and prudent assumptions were made about the size of the project, traffic generation, trip assignment and resulting impacts to local streets, intersections and nearby freeway interchanges. It is anticipated that F&P personnel will have access to the City's Traffic Engineer, Ray Kuzbari, regarding modeling methodology, pending projects, buildout assumptions and related items. As brought up by several citizen groups, one aspect of transportation planning will be trips generated by out of town visitors to the detention facility. Another aspect of the. project to be reviewed would include impacts to existing driveways for residents to see if significant delays would result from project construction. Impacts to public transit providers will also be confirmed with phone calls and direct interviews with service providers. Parking adequacy of the proposed project will also be reviewed by Crane staff to determine if project related parking would spill over onto adjacent residential streets. · Economic and Fiscal Issues: Although not required by CEQA, NEPA does allow for review of fiscal and economic issues. This aspect of the project will be undertaken by Applied Development Economics of Berkeley. It is not known if the document prepared by the County will, in fact, address economic issues. If the County environmental document does not include a discussion of economic issues, this component could be completed by ADE as a contract extra. · Alternatives. CEQA requires that the "no project" alternative be reviewed as well as other feasible alternatives to reduce environmental impacts identified in the document to a less-than-significant level. If the document does not adequately include such alternatives, other alternatives will be proposed. The level of analysis provided each alternative in the document will be reviewed with Meyers, Nave staff to ensure that the test of CEQA is met. · Cumulative Impacts: Assumptions used in the County document will be carefully reviewed to ensure that all possible cumulative impacts of the project are fully disclosed. 3) Prepare Comment Letter on DEIR/EIS A detailed comment letter will be prepared summarizing each of the above topics plus others that may be identified in the course of reviewing the County document. The letter will be completed within the 45 day public comment period to ensure that City of Dublin concerns must be addressed in the Final EIR/EIS. It is anticipated that significant assistance will be required by the Meyers, Nave staff in terms of legal sufficiency of the document. Exhibit A: Proposal from Consultant and Scope of Work May 21, 2002 Consultant Services Contract between the City of Dublin and Jerry Haag Page 4 4) Review Final EIR/EIS Following preparation of a final EIR/EIS document by the County and their consultants, this document will be again reviewed to determine if responses to the City DEIR/EIS comment letter is adequate. Assuming that County responses will be inadequate, the consultant team will prepare a subsequent letter addressed to the Board of Supervisors addressing inadequacies in the Final environmental document. 5) Review of SDR Application Jerry Haag will provide technical review of the County's SDR application, focusing on goals, polices and guidelines contained in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and General Plan document, the Zoning Ordinance and other City land use and regulatory requirements. Time has been provided for coordination with the Dublin Public Works Department regarding engineering and infrastructure items. The end product of this task will be a memorandum to the Planning Department outlining key issues and inconsistencies with regulations. 6) Attend Public Hearings It is anticipated that three public hearings will be attended by Jerry Haag to review the comment letter and answer questions by City elected officials. The hearings are anticipated to include one hearing before the Dublin Planning Commission, one hearing before the Dublin City Council and one hearing before the County Board of Supervisors to transmit City comments. Schedule and Budget The budget to complete the scope of work would be $32,260, which includes Jerry Haag's time ($18,360), costs for Fehr & Peers review of traffic ($5,900), Treadwell & Rollo costs for geotechnical and hazmat review ($4,000), LSA review of biological resources ($2,000) and costs for ADE to complete an economic and fiscal review ($2,000). The budget assumes that Meyers Nave costs would be handled as a separate cost item. The above includes only time for review of the County document and preparation of a response memo. It does not include preparation of any new technical reports or new data. Per hour costs of team personnel to attend additional meetings include Jerry Haag $85, Tom Clausen, F&P, $170 and Malcolm Sproul, LSA, $155.. Hourly rates for other team members can be provided on an as-needed basis. The schedule for completion of the various tasks described above will be driven by release of County documents and scheduled hearings.
