We Make a Difference
Subject: Proposal to Prepare Supplemental Environmental Documentation for the Park Place Extension
and Grade Separation Project
Dear Mr. Samaras:
Thank you for contacting Michael Baker International, Inc. (Michael Baker) to provide you with a proposal to prepare
supplemental environmental documentation for the Park Place Extension and Grade Separation Project Environmental
Impact Report/Environ mental Assessment (EIR/EA).Michael Baker understands that minor modifications to the project
have become necessary since the EIR/EA was approved in early 2019. These changes pertain to the proposed railroad
overcrossing over the extension of Park Place (two adjacent bridge structures instead of one), and the addition of two
additional rail storage tracks to the north of the grade separation to support Chevron's operations,
Based on our review of these proposed project modifications, Michael Baker has provided a scope of work and fee
estimate on the following pages. Under the California Environmental Quality Act (with the City of El Segundo as lead
agency) we have proposed an Addendum to the certified EIR for the project. As an optional task, we have also included
preparation of a Re -Validation under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), with Caltrans District 7 as the lead
agency.
On behalf of the Michael Baker Team, we appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal to you and would be
available to begin this work effort immediately. Please do not hesitate to contact Alan Ashimine at
949,855,5710/aashimine@mbakerinti.com or Jessica Ditto at 949.330.4183/jessica.difto@mbakerinti.com if you have
any questions or would like additional information.
