ADDITIONAL WORK REQUEST SUMMARY
Client: City of EI Segundo
Project: Park Place Extension and Railroad Grade Separation Project
Work Requested By: Mr. Paul Samaras, Principal Planner
Summary of Additional Work:
This Additional Work Request has been submitted to the City of EI Segundo for Michael Baker
International to provide assistance with preparation of CEQA/NEPA documentation that extends beyond
our existing scope of work.
TASK 1: REVISIONS TO DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT/ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT BASED ON UPDATES TO CALTRANS ANNOTATED OUTLINE
Caltrans requires all of its environmental documents to follow a specific format,template,and guidelines
as part of what are called "Annotated Outlines" (AO). The AOs for all Caltrans environmental documents
can be , found on the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference (SER) at
littp://www.dot,ca.gov/ser/forms.htm. Specifically, the AOs provide for all required impact sections,
headings, subheadings, guidance for analysis within the Draft and Final environmental document,
required boilerplate text to be used in all documents, and text only applying to Local Assistance projects.
Caltrans recently updated all AOs, including the AO for the Environmental Impact Report/Environmental
Assessment (EIR/EA),which applies to the Park Place Project; a summary of primary updates to the AO is
attached to this Additional Work Request. The latest AO for the project is provided for the City's reference
under separate cover. This task accounts for the work effort to bring the existing EIR/EA into compliance
with the latest Caltrans AO. Amongst a range of other miscellaneous/minor updates required throughout
the document,the primary components of the work effort would consist of the following:
• A review of all completed EIR/EA sections to incorporate changes related to the template of the
environmental document (reorganized impact sections, headings, section numbering, etc.),
alterations to boilerplate text that must be incorporated throughout the document, and changes
to guidance for analysis;
• Update impact sections with a specific focus on avoidance, minimization, and mitigation
measures. One of the most substantial changes made to the AO relates to Caltrans' reliance on
existing standardized features (i.e., existing agency construction or design specifications that

apply to all projects) as opposed to the creation of project-specific measures that may overlap
with these existing agency requirements;
a Update the Traffic and Transportation section to reflect the updated guidance for short-term
construction related impacts under the Traffic Management Plan (TMP)Guidelines;
• Revise the Hydrology and Floodplain section to incorporate additional language and analysis
related to floodplain encroachment/impacts;
• Incorporate update regulatory background and permit information in the Water Quality and
Stormwater Runoff section of the EIR/EA, specific to the Caltrans Statewide MS4 Permit and
Construction General Permit; and
a Update the Threatened and Endangered Species impact section to address additional effect
findings under the Caltrans SER.
TASK 2: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND CONFERENCE CALLS
Mr. Alan Ashimine will provide coordination and oversight of the work effort under this Additional Work
Request. This task will include consultation with City and Caltrans staff,coordination and management of
technical specialists and environmental staff, and QA/QC of the deliverables identified above.
In addition,this task also accounts for Michael Baker's participation in ongoing bi-weekly conference calls
that have been conducted for the project since March 2017. Michael Baker's existing scope of work
included up to 12 bi-weekly conference calls to discuss the proposed project. This task covers Michael
Baker's continued participation in an additional 12 bi-weekly conference calls.
TOTAL FEE: $15,700(Budget Detail is attached)

• The Environmental Commitments Record, or equivalent, should be included in the document as
the "Avoidance, Minimization, and/or Mitigation Summary."
"Grandfathering"Guidelines:
The Division of Environmental Analysis normally does not allow"grandfathering"when new AOs are
released. Instead, all documents in progress must make any updates contained in the AOs. Due to the
significant changes to the CEQA Chapter on this update,and the way in which "project features"will be
addressed versus "mitigation," a limited period of"grandfathering"will be allowed. See the guidelines
below to determine if your document can be "grandfathered."
• New documents started after August 3, 2017 must use the new AO in its entirety.
• Draft documents in progress that will circulate after January 1, 2018 must use the new AO in its
entirety.
• Draft documents in progress that will circulate prior to 12/31/2017 and final documents for
which a draft has already circulated (regardless of when the final document will be completed)
may be "partially grandfathered." Districts are encouraged to incorporate as many changes as
possible, however the CEQA Chapter need not be changed and any discussions of project
features, avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures may remain as they are(in fact,
for final documents,these changes should NOT be made unless they are very minor and do not
change the CEQA significance determinations). However,the following changes ARE required
for these documents (draft or final):
o The new NEPA Assignment language must be used on the Cover Sheet.
o The NEPA Assignment language at the beginning of the Summary or Chapter 1 (as
applicable) must be updated.
o The "Joint CEQA/NEPA Document Boilerplate" language must be updated to reflect the
new NEPA Assignment MOU.
o Projects that are "capacity-increasing or a major street or highway lane alignment" and
that were newly approved for programming after January 1, 2017 must discuss the
feasibility of reversible lanes as a project alternative.
o Please follow the new guidance in the "Topics Considered but Determined not to be
Relevant" section.
o If there will be relocations, please include a table showing an estimate of acquisitions by
alternative using APNs rather than property owner's names.
o In Cultural Resources, please update the PA reference, include a discussion of tribal
cultural resources (as applicable), and include the effects findings for each resource AND
the project as a whole.
o The document must state whether or not there is a significant floodplain encroachment,
and if there is an "Only Practicable Alternative Finding" is required in the final
document.
o Projects on the SHS must include the new language regarding ADL.
o The final document must contain FHWA's Conformity Determination as either an
appendix or in the "Comments and Coordination" chapter.
