At the City's direction, EBA will perform a redesign of the landfill final cover system utilizing a]ess expensive technology then the current cover system. This design change will save approximate $350,000 in construction costs. Please note this cost savings estimate does not include additional savings in reduced post-closure maintenance costs that will be realized with the new cover system. EBA will also provide CEQA services associated with the recent requirement to revise the original CEQA initial study. It is our understanding that the specialized biologica] studies will be perPormed by others contracted directly by the City. These two additional tasks are summarized as follows: • Redesign Final Closure Cover Svstem: EBA will incorporate the design changes needed to replace the current geosynthetic clay liner cover system design with a Linear low-density polyethylene geomembrane liner/engineered artificial grass cover design. The redesign will include new grad'vng and drainage calculations, along with revised construction drawings, technical specifications, and construction quality assurance(CQA)plan. The engineer's estimate of construction quantities and costs will also be revised to reflect construction of the new final cover system. • Initial St�eEQA Coordinatian: This task includes the preparation of an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Ukiah Landfill Ciosure and Postclosure Maintenance (Project). The City of Ukiah, Public Works Department, will be the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Project. In accordance with Section 15070 of the CEQA Guidelines, an Initial Study� is prepared t� analyze the potential project-related impacts anticipated to occur as a result of implementing the Project. Pursuant to Section 15071 of the CEQA Guidelines, the IS/MND includes: (a) a description of the proposed project; (b) the location of the project; (c) a list of the environmental factors potentially affected b��project implementation; (d)a comprehensive analysis of each en��ironmental topic included in the City's environmental checklist; (e) a proposed finding that the project will not have a L:Iproject19071ProposallContract Amendment 02.24.I S.doc 825 Sonoma Avenue,Suite C • Santa Rosa,California 95404 (707) 544-0784 • FAX(7�7}544-0866 • www.ebagroup.com significant effect on the environment;and(fl mitigation measures. The Initial Study is a preliminary analysis intended to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment. A negative declaration is a written statement prepared that briefly describes the reasons why a proposed project wiil not have a significant effect on the environment and,therefore,does not require the preparation of an Environmenta l Impact Report. The ISlMND will be prepared in accordance with the CEQA, Public Resources Code 21000 et seq.,and the State CEQA Guidelines,California Code of Regulatians, Section 15000 et seq. Technical studies will be required to complete the IS/MND that include studies for special status plant species, special-status wildlife species, wetland delineation, and assessment of greenhouse gas emissions. The greenhouse gas emissions assessment will be conducted under the direction and coordination of EBA. The special-status studies and wetland delineation will be prepared by others under direct contract witt�the City and under the coordination of EBA.
