BACKGROUND: The City is in receipt of an application for extension of the Railroad Avenue roadway and utilities, and construction of a single-family residence and accessory dwelling units at 1049 Railroad Avenue. The application includes a request for a Coastal Development Permit for street extension and utility work within the public right of way. The environmental analysis will include both the work in the public right of way and the residential development on the site. City staff has determined that an IS/MND pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is required to evaluate the potential impacts of the project on the environment. An open solicitation with a Request for Proposals (RFP) was prepared and circulated to firms that specialize in preparation of IS/MND’s. The RFP was also posted on the City’s website. Four proposals responding to the RFP were received by well-qualified consulting firms. The consultant with the lowest total cost of the service was selected. 18

DISCUSSION: Ganey Science (https://www.ganeysci.com/) demonstrated the best understanding of the requested work and represents the best fit for the project at 1049 Railroad Avenue. Ganey Science and its sub-consultants work throughout the Bay Area and California, have extensive northern California coastal experience and experience. They also have familiarity with the regional agencies and their processes. The Ganey Science proposal and team are especially well suited to objectively evaluate primary topics of interest for this particular project and site: biological resources, aesthetics, and greenhouse gas modeling. City staff have discussed the project with the project manager at Ganey Science, clarified the scope of work, and finalized the scope of work and budget. The scope of work and fee schedule are provided as Exhibits A and B to the resolution. It is important to note that while staff believes that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate, the environmental review will be conducted in accordance with CEQA and if, as a result of that analysis it is determined that another level of review is appropriate, such as an Environmental Impact Report, then staff will seek an amendment to the contract.
